Chapter 162: Visiting
When Shu He woke up again, it was already the next morning.
She sat up from the bed, dazed for a moment, then her scattered focus gradually gathered, and when she felt her spirits recover, she finally came back to her senses.
Yes. They had already left the Mountain Valley and returned to the Biluo Courtyard.
"My brain! It's all confused from sleeping!" Shu He patted his head lightly. He felt that he was really exhausted recently. His mind was a little confused. He had to find some time to make up for it!
Last night, she detoxified Baili Moqing. Because his internal energy was severely depleted, he fell into a coma after the detoxification.
I don’t know how Baili Moqing is doing now!
Gotta check it out.
She stood up, but saw the empty bedside. She couldn't help but wonder, "Xiao Yi'er, why did you get up so early today?"
Seeing her clean and tidy inner clothes and hair bun, she guessed that Lady Wang must have helped her tidy them up while she was asleep.
At this moment, a faint fragrance wafted into the air. On the table was a bowl of medicinal porridge and two plates of side dishes, which should also have been prepared by Madam Wang.
Madam Wang can now make medicinal porridge!
Shu He felt a little warm in his heart. It felt really good to be taken care of in such a meticulous manner.
After she finished all the breakfast on the table, she felt much warmer. She had been so hungry that her stomach ached.
After washing up and changing into a lake green long dress, she went out.
The Biluo Courtyard was very quiet. Perhaps because they were afraid of disturbing Baili Moqing's recovery, no one in the entire courtyard dared to speak loudly.
Maybe it was mainly because that chatterbox Nanqi was recuperating in the military camp, so no one was talking in the yard.
Thinking of Nanqi, she planned to go to the military camp to see him later.
"Madam Wang, good morning!" Shu He was just about to go to Baili Moqing's room to check on him when he saw Madam Wang. She was holding the clothes she had taken off yesterday in her hands, probably going to wash them.
"Mrs. He..."
Madam Wang had a strange look on her face, and her eyes were evasive, as if she was avoiding her gaze.
Shu He didn't pay much attention to it and just asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Oh, I, I've eaten..."
"Madam Wang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Shu He said as he was about to go forward to take her pulse.
Her face turned slightly pale. She pulled her hand back, a look of deep guilt and self-blame on her face. "Madam He, I, I'm fine..."
Shu He sensed something was wrong. Why did Madam Wang look like she had done something wrong to her?
Madam Wang clutched the clothes in her hand tightly, her eyes moistened. "It's Xiao Yi'er. She was taken away by the people from the Princess's Mansion..."
"What did you say?!"
The expression on Shu He's face instantly turned cold, and her body was filled with coldness. A sharp airflow burst out from her, causing her hair to fly.
Lady Wang was frightened by the cold air flow and took several steps back. She was enveloped in fear and her hands, which were holding her dress, could not help but tremble.
"He, He Madam..."
"Is it Zhu Zifeng?" The flames of anger almost burned Shu He. The eldest princess's man was only Zhu Zifeng.
But why did she take Xiao Yier away? What did she want to do?
"Where is she?"
"Madam He, don't worry. Beiji has already gone to the post station. He said that he would definitely bring Xiao Yier back!" Madam Wang took two steps forward, fearing that Shu He would do something impulsive. After all, she was the eldest princess!
"Beiji went to find Zhu Zifeng?" Upon hearing this, Shu He's expression finally eased a bit. Fortunately, there was someone in this yard who cared about Xiao Yier.
Madam Wang nodded repeatedly, "Last night..."
The abrupt end to the words made Shu He hear something unusual again. "He went there last night and hasn't come back yet? Does Zhu Zifeng have such courage?"
"No, not Miss Zhu, yes, it's the eldest princess."
Madam Wang's face looked extremely grim, and she told her everything that had happened in the past two days.
"Yesterday, the princess's men came to see the prince, saying that the princess wanted to see him. Uncle Zhang said that the prince was not at home. After the princess's men went back to report, they sent someone else to take Xiao Yi'er away..."
"That person said that the princess likes Xiao Yi'er very much, and when the prince returns home, he can go and pick her up personally..."
Madam Wang secretly paid attention to Shu He's expression, fearing that she would go berserk.
"Since the Princess's people said so, it means Xiao Yi'er will be fine! Madam He, please don't worry. Maybe Beiji will come back with Yi'er soon!"
But no matter how nicely Madam Wang spoke, Shu He's anger could not be reduced in the slightest.
The eldest princess was clearly using Xiao Yier to threaten Baili Moqing!
A three-year-old child who couldn't even walk steadily, yet she had the heart to do that! Is this the grand plan of a princess?
Did he really think that Shu He was still the weak, bullied punching bag she was four years ago?!
"Mrs. He, where are you going?!"
Madam Wang chased after Shu He, trying to stop her, but as soon as she went out, she could no longer see Shu He.
She was anxious and uneasy, and hurried towards Baili Moqing's house.
"Your Majesty! Something happened!"
"Your Majesty! Please wake up!"
No matter how hard she knocked on the door, there was no sound from inside.
"Didn't General Zhenli say that the prince was fine? Why hasn't he woken up yet?" She was so anxious that she turned around and around and forgot to wash the dirty clothes in her hands.
On the other side, Shu He asked many people before he found the inn where the eldest princess was staying.
It was called a post station, but in reality, it was a separate residence specially prepared for the eldest princess by Su Su, the governor of Beisha City, and Yang You, a military officer. This was the largest mansion in the entire urban area of Beisha City, and was once the residence of Zhen Lai, the city's richest man.
The huge house was located in the heart of the southern part of the city. It had red gates and silver rings, golden bricks and nanmu wood, green eaves and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and was extremely magnificent. Even Baili Moqing's Biluo Courtyard couldn't compare to one tenth of it!
There were ten guards standing outside the mansion, looking solemn and imposing, as if they were telling people not to approach.
Her eyes darkened slightly and she walked straight forward.
When the guard saw someone else coming, his face changed drastically with shock, but when he saw that it was a woman, the tension on his face eased a little.
"This is the princess's temporary residence. No one is allowed to enter!" The two people on the outside drew their long swords and drove her away.
Shu He looked at them, her expression expressionless. She stared at the empty front yard and said calmly, "Please inform the princess that someone has come to pick up the child His Highness brought back yesterday."
"What kid? Stop talking nonsense! No one can enter without the eldest princess's invitation! Leave immediately!"
Shu He looked at the cold-looking guard, a murderous look on his face, and said in a cold voice: "What if I must go in?"
These words put all the guards on high alert, and they all glared at Shu He.
"How dare you! How dare you invade the Princess's residence! Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The guards' angry shouts attracted countless people to watch.
"Look, what is that woman trying to do? Doesn't she know that this is where the eldest princess is staying temporarily?"
"I just heard her say, what child is she looking for?"
"Child? How could there be any child in the Princess's mansion?"
"I don't know, but I saw someone causing trouble here last night, and a fight broke out! However, the troublemaker went in and hasn't come out yet. I guess he's been apprehended by the Princess's guards!"
"Is this woman here to cause trouble too? Or is she trying to see the princess and establish a relationship with her?"
"Oh, people nowadays are really crazy! They dare to offend anyone and try to get close to anyone. They really don't care about their lives!"
