Although she had just experienced a dangerous situation during the day, and it was her first night in Yongning Residence, Xuyu unexpectedly slept soundly. When she woke up the next day, if it weren't for the wound on her wrist that reminded her of yesterday's experience, she would have felt refreshed and recovered.
However, the news from the Zhiyuan Courtyard had arrived, allowing her to take a three-day leave to recuperate. The Ning Wang Mansion and the Chang Princess Mansion also sent people to visit her with generous gifts to express their gratitude.
Pei Xiaoyuan had to attend to official business, so he left guards at home and left early in the morning as usual. Qingtou followed his instructions and kept a close eye on Xuyu. If she took half a step further, he would bow around her and ask her to lie down and rest. To entertain her, he also told her what he had learned from the servants of the Princess's Mansion and Prince Ning's Mansion.
The case is said to have been handed over to Jinwu General Han Kerang, who is leading the Dali Temple to investigate.
King Kang confirmed that when the accident happened, he was forcibly taken away by people around him, and the surviving guards and boatmen all testified to this.
The eldest princess's anger dissipated after one night. Not only did she not blame King Kang, she also sent people to visit him.
And the most unfortunate one was the Prince of Ning, who originally planned to hold this banquet to celebrate his return to the capital, but things went against his will and he was in a state of panic. Fortunately, the emperor did not blame him and even sent a palace supervisor to visit the Princess of Yucheng, which was a blessing in disguise.
Xuyu had to admire this young man. The steward of the second mansion came and stayed for only a short while, but he was able to find out so much information. And it was not just that. He heard from the people from the second mansion that if they had not been stopped from leaving today, the two princesses would have come to visit her in person.
"Young Master, you have performed a remarkable feat and bravely saved the two princesses! I have been here for several months and have heard that the second princess is the most distinguished lady in the capital. This time you are honored!"
Qingtou felt quite proud and said happily.
But Qingtou’s glorious deeds were not over yet.
Just after noon, another distinguished guest came to Yongning's residence. It was the chief official of Prince Kang's mansion. But Xuyu didn't see him. I don't know if it was a coincidence or something, but the chief official happened to be at the same time as Pei Xiaoyuan who was returning to the mansion, so he met him directly in the front hall. After the person left, Pei Xiaoyuan went straight to Xuyu's residence and told her what had just happened.
The chief official of Prince Kang's palace not only brought generous gifts, but also sincere words, which comforted the painter who rescued the second princess on the same boat yesterday.
Xuyu was surprised that someone from Prince Kang's palace would come to give gifts, but when she thought about what she had just heard from Qingtou, she seemed to understand something.
No matter how unbearable the truth was yesterday, Prince Kang was still her father's son after all. Whether it was Prince Kang's mansion itself or her father, I'm afraid they didn't want people to know too much. Sending a chief official to thank Pei Xiaoyuan was just enough, no need to say more, those who should understand will naturally understand. The eldest princess's attitude change was probably due to this reason.
Xu Yu met Pei Xiaoyuan's gaze and nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."
Pei Xiaoyuan nodded, and his eyes immediately dropped to rest on her wrist.
Xuyu hurriedly said, "I also applied medicine today! It will be fine in two days!"
Qingtou kept sticking his head in from outside the door, looking at the two people talking inside.
"My dear, why did you come back so early today?" Finally, he saw the opportunity and interrupted.
He has been in Chang'an for quite some time, but this is the first time he has seen his lover returning home during the day. How can he not be surprised
