After Princess Chu returned the gift, she asked the nuns to stay in the wing for the night, and then asked the maids to clean up the house.
After everything was arranged, Princess Chu and Yun Qian performed the usual rituals in front of the Buddha statue.
Yun Qian saw that the expression on Princess Chu's face was still indifferent, and she didn't know what she was thinking as she stood there. She handed Princess Chu a cup of tea and said, "What are you thinking about, concubine?"
Princess Chu didn't answer the question exactly: "Qian'er, are you afraid?"
Yun Qian was slightly stunned when she heard Princess Chu's question. She quickly understood what Princess Chu was asking, and immediately smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"
Princess Chu nodded approvingly and said softly: "I had a bet with your father before I came to see you this morning."
Yun Qian asked: "What bet?"
She was a little curious in her heart, not knowing what Princess Chu was referring to.
Princess Chu said calmly: "I was just betting with him whether something would happen today."
Yun Qian was stunned for a moment, but Princess Chu said no more. She turned around and knocked on the wooden fish. As she knocked, she said: "People say that being passionate is bitterer than being ruthless, but there is no ruthless person in the world. But I am willing to give up my love."
Love does not envy mandarin ducks or immortals."
Yun Qian was stunned for a moment after hearing her words, and whispered: "Mother..."
Princess Chu smiled at Yun Qian and said, "If there is an afterlife, I will be that ruthless person."
Yun Qian felt that Princess Chu had something on her mind at the moment, and her words were a bit confusing. She sighed softly and said nothing.
After nightfall, Princess Chu and Yun Qian opened a tunnel. Yun Qian was stunned for a moment, and Princess Chu said softly: "There is also a tunnel in the Baifu Courtyard, which leads directly from the Buddhist hall to the side room in the west wing."
Yun Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, not quite understanding what Princess Chu meant.
Princess Chu whispered again: "This place is much larger than the other courtyard of Baifu. This tunnel was not dug by me, but by the nuns in this nunnery. There were many prostitutes living in this nunnery back then.
We use this tunnel to do skin and meat business. After I discovered this tunnel, I initially wanted to seal it off, but then I thought about it, the tunnel is not innocent at all, it just depends on the intentions of the people who use it."
Yun Qian's eyes deepened, the corners of Princess Chu's lips raised slightly, she looked at her and chuckled: "At that time, after the nunnery became the property of Prince Chu's palace, most of the nuns in the nunnery were sent to the government, and only a few remained.
The old nuns stayed here, and then those old nuns also passed away. As time goes by, fewer and fewer people know about this tunnel."
"Does father know?" Yun Qian asked.
Princess Chu said calmly: "He knows."
Yun Qian asked again: "Then where does this tunnel lead?"
Princess Chu said slowly: "Feifeng Pavilion."
Yun Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words "Feifeng Pavilion", and then whispered: "Is this where my father lives this time?"
Princess Chu nodded. Yun Qian looked at Princess Chu and said, "What do you want to do, mother?"
Feifeng Pavilion is where the King of Chu lives, and Lu Zhu is also there. Yun Qian's eyes darken, and Yun Qian can vaguely guess what Princess Chu has planned.
Princess Chu said calmly: "I will ask Yilan to invite the prince to come out later."
When she said this, Yun Qian understood what Princess Chu meant. She asked softly: "Mother, have you thought about it?"
Princess Chu's eyes dimmed a little, but she said firmly: "I've thought about it."
