"Miss, it's late at night, let's go back." I don't know how long it took, but Cardamom appeared behind Qingwan, holding a lantern in his hand. The light of the lantern illuminated the face on the ground, which was pale and stained with blood. He was already dead.
When he was drawing in vain, his body shrank unconsciously, but he still forced himself to calmly remind him.
Qingwan nodded and did not leave immediately. Instead, she reminded her in a calm voice: "From now on, you don't need to be called Miss anymore. Tell Zisu and the others to call me Princess from now on."
Daukou nodded as he was told, forgetting his previous fear, and responded with a smile: "This slave will remember to tell everyone."
Since the young lady has taken the initiative to ask them to change their names, it means that she has begun to face up to her own identity and her relationship with the prince, which is a good thing.
First, there was a fire in the West Cross Courtyard, and then Bai Hua committed suicide out of fear of crime. These two events together caused an uproar in the palace.
For a long time after that, everyone in the palace was in panic.
The day after Bai Hua committed suicide, Qingwan called Bai Tan and others over and told the three of them everything about what happened the night before. At the same time, she also said that Bai Hua was
The person who poisoned her and Ji Lanjin in their new house that day.
Those three are also rational people. Although it is a bit difficult to accept, they have not lost their sense of proportion because of it. After Bai Hua's incident, the three of them continued to serve in Mugung Pavilion. In addition to being more cautious than before,
I didn't notice any other differences.
I don’t know if it was because of the death of someone in the palace, but everyone became calmer. For nearly half a month after that, everything in the palace was peaceful and nothing major happened. Even Wen Yi only
After staying at her parents' house for one night, she came back and stayed in her own yard.
In addition to reading the account books every day, Qing Wan would either lock herself in the incense making room and develop new incense. Occasionally, the housekeeper would come to report to her the big and small things that happened in the house. In this way, time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Lanjin left home.
It has been a month. During this period, Qin Shang sent back a message saying that Ji Lanjin already knew about Bai Hua and said that someone would investigate. After that, Qingwan didn't ask again, and no one took the initiative to talk to her again.
.
Then, it’s July 15th, which is the day of the Ghost Festival, also known as the “Ghost Festival” among the people.
As Ji Lanjin is a prince, he only needs to follow the emperor to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. There is no need to hold any separate sacrificial ceremony in the palace.
Despite this, Qingwan still asked the housekeeper to help prepare some sacrificial supplies. She planned to wait until the afternoon to pay homage to Feng's grave.
In the past three years, she has been in Shunan and was unable to come back to pay respects on Feng's memorial day, so she planned to visit Feng's grave during the Ghost Festival.
And because she was a married daughter, she chose the afternoon.
Of course, another reason is that she doesn't want to run into the Qing family. Although they are her nominal relatives, in her heart, they are worse than strangers.
At least strangers won't frame her, plot against her, or oppose her everywhere.
The weather was originally fine in the morning, but in the afternoon, it started to rain lightly. Qingwan got off the carriage and unexpectedly saw a person standing in front of Feng's grave.
The silk umbrella cover blocked the other person's face, so Qing Wan couldn't see clearly the other person's appearance for a while. Through the thin rain curtain, she could only vaguely see a back figure, and she couldn't help but feel doubtful.
