Dad quickly informed him of the wedding date, which was three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. Xu Yixing looked at the piece of paper with the wedding date written on it, sighed frequently, and finally asked someone to prepare a horse to go to Nanshan.

This was her third time going to Nanshan in the past few months, not for any other reason but because Shen Yue had been living as an immortal in Nanshan since he was dismissed from his post.

Of course, it was impossible for Xu Yixing to believe that Shen Yue had the potential to become a god. A person with his personality would only burn down the palace to vent his anger, and would not be willing to retire to the mountains and disappear without a reason.

"Please come back."

Still, a clean and sharp order to leave came from the tattered door panel.

"Okay, Lord Shen, I have written down all the recent events in the capital. Please come to the wedding when you are free!" Xu Yixing stuffed the letter into the crack of the door, brushed off the dirt on his body, and left.

Shen Yue didn't want to see me, probably because he realized that I had used him as a knife. Although I don't know how he figured out that the master's death was related to me or Lu Anyuan, he has a top-ranked brain anyway, so it's not surprising that he figured out everything.

The note to Shen Yue was concise and clear, without hiding anything. Although she didn't know if he had any channels to get information from the capital, she would never deceive a smart man on such a matter.

"Madam, we have come here three times. Every time we brought him wine and meat, he never even opened the door. Why are you still coming?"

"That's because the wine and meat I brought weren't what he wanted, so naturally he was unhappy."

"Ah?" Siqin blinked, her baby fat cheeks seemed to have shrunk a little, not sure if it was because she was tired or because she had grown up. "So what does Lord Shen want?"

"He wants to do things for the people." Xu Yixing couldn't help but laugh at such an empty ideal coming out of his own mouth. Lord Shen was really a strange man, otherwise he wouldn't have come here so often.

Rather than saying it was a form of support, she never spared her so-called face and dignity for those who were worthy of admiration. If she really hoped that she could persuade Shen Yue to come down the mountain, it would be wishful thinking.

Go home and have a night's rest. The next day it is time to go to the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother.

She packed up everything early, said goodbye to Lu Anyuan, and went into the palace on her own. After the prince got married, a large part of the responsibilities of the younger generation was transferred to the prince's wife, such as the monthly greetings.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother was quite nice to Xu Yixing. Every time she went there, she would just talk to her. Besides, the other princes' wives were also there, so they didn't have the energy to pay too much attention to her. She would just be gone for half a day and then come back, which was quite relaxing.

The protagonist of Yian Palace today is naturally the fourth princess who has been pregnant for many days.

Although she can now feel the inconvenience of movement, she is still talkative and cheerful. She also likes to walk around the seats in the palace, greet and chat with different noble ladies, and is full of energy.

"Oh, I really can't stand this monkey's noise anymore. Come on, that's enough for today. I need to rest!"

The Queen Mother held her forehead with her hand and said this with great joy. It was a loving order to leave. It just so happened that they had been sitting here for the whole morning. It was time to leave. Besides, the Fourth Princess had indeed been talking non-stop. The Queen Mother also said what Xu Yixing had thought.

"Yes, I will take my leave!"

All the people in the room left in a flash, but everyone had different destinations. The concubines returned to their own palaces, and the princes' wives took their children back home. They said goodbye in front of the empress dowager and almost everyone left.

Princess Pingsong was in the worst health and was the first to pass away. It seemed that she had not yet gotten over the blow of her husband's death. It was not easy for her to come here today.

Remembering what Lu Anyuan said about the eldest prince being very kind to him when he was a child, Xu Yixing wanted to chase after him to comfort him, but was stopped by someone behind him.

"Hey! Seventh sister-in-law, wait a minute!"

As soon as she heard the voice, she knew without even turning her head that the Fourth Princess was pestering her again.

"What's wrong, Princess? I'm in a hurry to leave the palace. If everything is fine, why don't we meet again another day?" Xu Yixing had a headache and didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Oh no! Are you afraid that my seventh brother will blame you if you stay in the palace for a while longer? Come on, let's go. I want to pray for my child. How about we go together?"

"Pray for blessings... You don't mean to go to the Fahua Temple, do you?"

"Yes, where else in this palace can we pray for blessings?" The fourth princess had a harmless innocent smile on her face, but no matter how Xu Yixing looked at it, he felt that she was smiling with a dagger hidden behind her.

"Are you going to see Concubine Ying make a fool of herself? I won't go with you. See you later!" What a joke! Concubine Ying is still imprisoned in the Fahua Palace. The fourth princess has been feeling injustice for her own mother. Now that she has caught this good opportunity, how can she not add insult to injury?

The Third Prince's wife also stepped forward and said, "Yes, sister, if you want to pray, there are so many temples and monasteries in our capital, you can go there. Why do you have to go to the Fahua Hall?"

The Third Prince's wife is the Fourth Princess's biological sister-in-law. Concubine Gong is quiet and indifferent, and she didn't even come to pay respects to the Queen Mother. Now she is watching over her sister-in-law by herself, fearing that something might happen.

"Once I leave the palace, they say I can't do this or that, so I still can't go. If you two don't come with me, I'll go by myself, hum!" After saying that, she headed towards the Fahua Hall with her big belly.

The Third Prince's wife sighed helplessly and quickly trotted over to catch up.

Xu Yixing was also a little worried. He thought for a long time. He thought that when the Fourth Princess and the Third Prince's wife met Concubine Ying, there would definitely be a big fuss. He couldn't get involved in this mess, but he couldn't just sit back and watch either. After all, they were childhood playmates.

So she turned around and went back into the Yi'an Palace, reporting in again. She saw the aunt beside the empress dowager taking the medicine bowl away, and the empress dowager waved to her to come forward.

"Yi Yan, why are you back again?" The old queen lowered her voice, as if she was feeling uncomfortable because the medicine was too bitter.

"Empress Dowager, the Fourth Princess and the Third Prince's wife have gone to the Fahua Palace to pray for blessings. I am worried that Concubine Ying is currently practicing in the Fahua Palace and there might be an impact. Why don't you ask Auntie to go and take a look?"

Xu Yixing didn't have time to talk nonsense with the empress dowager. If it was any later, they would have arrived.

As expected, the Queen Mother's face tightened when she heard this. She glanced at the senior palace maid beside her and said, "Madame Han, go take someone to see her. Ask her to pray and come to my place right away. Don't delay."

"Yes." The old nanny bowed, knowing the seriousness of the matter, and took the people out quickly.

"Good boy, come here and sit next to me." The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Xu Yixing's reminder. There were spies all over the palace, but those people were either afraid of things or wanted to see things happen. It was really good that she was the only one who came to remind them.
