He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Princess Qinghe and Cheng Yao looked at each other.

Except for Du Cheng'an who told the eldest prince consort what happened in Prince Cheng's Mansion, the Prince of Yanping and his men did not even dare to tell their own father, let alone Cheng Yao and the others.

Therefore, they didn't know much about this matter and could only sigh.

After all, Prince Cheng is the Queen Mother's biological son and the current Emperor's younger brother, but it seems that everything has changed overnight.

Chun'er left, and soon Princess Yong'an came in.

Princess Yong'an looked much thinner than the last time they saw her. If they hadn't known that this was Princess Yong'an, they wouldn't have believed it. Thinking of Prince Cheng's Mansion, they couldn't help but feel sorry for Princess Yong'an.

Princess Yong'an didn't expect so many people to be in the room. When Princess Huai'an saw her, she stood up and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect to run into you in Prince Ling's mansion."

Princess Yong'an forced a smile and stepped forward to salute Shen Wan.

Shen Wan smiled and nodded, which was considered as a return gift.

Seeing that Princess Yong'an had an embroidered handkerchief wrapped around her wrist, Shen Wan asked, "Princess Yong'an's wrist was injured?"

Princess Yong'an lowered her head and discovered that the embroidered handkerchief hidden in her sleeves was half exposed, but she did not hide it. She said, "Yesterday I went to Jingci Temple to visit my mother. When I went to the back hills to pick plum blossoms, I accidentally fell and hurt my wrist..."

After hearing this, Shen Wan asked, "Is the injury serious?"

Princess Yong'an shook her head. "It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious."

The maid brought a chair and Princess Yong'an sat down.

Shen Wan asked, "Is Princess Cheng okay?"

Princess Yong'an said, "When my mother was in the mansion, she was very sick. But after entering Jingci Nunnery, her condition improved."

Princess Yong'an could not accept the fact that Princess Cheng had shaved her head, but what she could not accept even more was that Princess Cheng had died of illness.

Plus, after so many days, she slowly began to accept it.

As long as her mother and brother were alive, she had nothing else to ask for.

If she missed them, she could go to Jingci Temple or Huguo Temple to see them.

It's just that my father...

I don't know where the person is.

Shen Wan said, "After the confinement period is over, I will go to Jingci Temple to see Princess Cheng."

Princess Yong'an said, "My mother will definitely be happy to see you go to see her."

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan had helped Prince Cheng, so Princess Yong'an was close to Shen Wan from the bottom of her heart. Plus, she already had a friendship with Princess Huai'an and Princess Qinghe, so it was easy for them to get along.

Although Princess Yong'an accepted the fact that her mother and brother had become monks, it was still a big blow to her. Her temperament changed a lot and she spoke very little. She just sat there quietly and listened to everyone talk.

She looked at Shen Wan several times, as if she had something to say. Just when Shen Wan was about to ask, Qiu'er came in and said, "The auspicious time has arrived. The three-day bath is about to begin."

Princess Huai'an and her companions came to present gifts and to see the young master's third-day bathing ceremony, so they all stood up.

After they left, Princess Yong'an also stood up.

But the others went out talking and laughing, and Princess Yong'an even looked back at Shen Wan when she left.

It was obvious that he had something to ask Shen Wan, which made Shen Wan feel like she was being scratched by a cat.

Seeing Princess Yong'an leave, Haitang said, "I heard that a frozen body was found in the back hills of Jingci Temple yesterday..."

Shen Wan frowned, "Who died?"

Haitang shook her head, "I don't know who it was. Jingci Temple reported it to the authorities, and the bodies were found by Princess Yong'an and her maid."

Haitang knew about this yesterday, but because it was too unlucky, she didn't tell Shen Wan.

Shen Wan was not so particular. She felt sorry for Princess Yong'an. Princess Cheng always liked plum blossoms. Princess Yong'an wanted to pick plum blossoms for Princess Cheng to decorate her house, but she found a dead body in the back mountain. As a pampered princess, she must have been terrified.

It must have been a pretty serious fall in such a cold weather. Princess Yong'an did not stay in the mansion to recuperate but came to Prince Ling's mansion. It couldn't be as simple as delivering a gift. Shen Wan guessed there must be something else.

If she guessed correctly, Princess Yong'an would definitely come back to see her soon.

The room, which was bustling just now, became deserted after they left. Shen Wan leaned against the big pillow, feeling very depressed.

She felt that there was no problem for her to get out of bed, but no one asked her to do so. She was required to stay in bed for 42 days. She also wanted to see how the baby was washed for three days.

Everybody saw it, except her own mother. How could this be possible?

The more Shen Wan thought about it, the more depressed she became.

The three-day bath was quick. After all, the weather was cold, and even if there was a charcoal basin in the room, people were afraid that the child would be cold. Soon the child was sent back and placed next to Shen Wan. With the child's company, Shen Wan felt much better.

Princess Huai'an and her companions did not come back, so after watching the three-day ceremony, they had a banquet.

Not many people came, but there were a few tables. Chef Li was in charge of the cooking, and they all sat in the front yard.

Princess Huai'an and the others finished eating first, then came back to talk to Shen Wan, and waited for Shen Du and the others to finish eating before leaving together.

Princess Yong'an came back with them, but when she left, she did not leave with Princess Huai'an. "I have a few words to say to Princess Ling. You go first."

Princess Huai'an didn't know how long she would talk to Shen Wan, so she didn't wait for her.

After everyone left, Shen Wan looked at Princess Yong'an, "Princess Yong'an, what do you want to tell me?"

Princess Yong'an looked at Shen Wan and asked, "When I left yesterday, my mother remembered something and asked me to ask her if my father had ever given Prince Ling a painting?"

Shen Wan, "...???"

King Cheng gave Xie Jingyan a painting?

Shen Wan shook her head, "That shouldn't be the case."

Xie Jingyan would not fail to tell her about such a strange thing.

Shen Wan asked, "What painting?"

Princess Yong'an shook her head. "I don't know either. Mother didn't tell me. She only said that a few days before my father disappeared, he told her that he wanted to give a painting to Prince Ling..."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan became more and more confused.

Prince Cheng was about to kill Princess Cheng. When he wanted to give Xie Jingyan a painting, would he discuss it with Princess Cheng?

Princess Cheng even asked Princess Yong'an to make a special trip to tell her about this?

No matter how Shen Wan listened to it, she felt that this matter was weird.

Just as she was thinking about it, Princess Yong'an said, "Mother has always remembered the kindness of Prince Ling and Princess Ling to Prince Cheng's Mansion. She abandoned the royal family's reputation and became a nun in Jingci Temple, but the emperor did not sentence her to death. She is grateful."

"Now the Cheng Palace has no master. My father had gone through a lot of trouble to find that painting, and he sincerely wanted to give it to Prince Ling. My mother said that she had already become a nun, so it would be inappropriate for her to return to the Cheng Palace for such a small matter. She asked Prince Ling to go and get it himself when he is free."

Let Xie Jingyan go to Prince Cheng’s mansion to get a painting?

Shen Wan really couldn't figure out what Princess Cheng wanted to do. She said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Taking it without asking is considered stealing.

Although it was allowed by Princess Cheng, it still doesn't make sense.

Princess Yong'an said, "I also think it's inappropriate, but mother said there is a secret room in father's study. I may not be able to find it, so it's better to let Prince Ling find it himself. Father is loyal to the emperor, and there is nothing shameful in the study. It's okay for Prince Ling to go. The painting is related to the case of Concubine Chen, so I just need to pass on the message."
