Today, the female family of the Zheng family went out collectively, including the eldest wife Chen and Zheng Wanying of the Western Palace. When Zheng Wanying saw Xu Shu, she smiled at Xu Shu from behind Chen.

Although the Xifu has relatives with the East Mansion, the relationship is not close. The death of Prince Long'an has little impact on the Xifu, so the Xifu's mood is much better than that of the East Mansion.

When Mrs. Zheng saw that Mrs. Zheng took Xu Shu with her, she wanted to say a few words, and it was not a good thing to bring the children to join in the fun! But after seeing Chen taking Zheng Wanying, she held back. At this time, one more person would be more powerful and she could not offend the Western Palace, especially between the Western Palace and the Eastern Palace, because Chen and Zheng Zhiwen had some bumps in the first place.

Although Prince Longan was named the crown prince, it was posthumously conferred, and because Dayin had not had a crown prince for many years, the Eastern Palace was disrepaired for a while and could not be dealt with for a while. Prince Longan died in Prince Qing's Mansion, and there were many people in the palace. In order to cover up the real cause of death of Prince Longan, Prince Longan is still in Prince Qing's Mansion, but all the attendants in Prince Qing's Mansion have changed. They stepped into Prince Qing's Mansion again, and all the passing places were full of strange faces.

There were many imperial edicts coming to worship. Old Mrs. Zheng walked slowly in front, and the four sisters-in-law of the Zheng family followed one by one. Mrs. Zheng Si and Chen walked at the end. After they looked at each other, Mrs. Zheng Si whispered to Xu Shu, "Xiaojiu, you two children, you sister Ying, don't go to the mourning hall. You go around nearby. We will come to find you later!"

Xu Shu nodded, "Since we are here, let's go and see Cousin Qi!"

"Okay! Go!" The Zheng family came to Prince Qing's Mansion, but they couldn't say anything if they didn't go to see Zheng Wanli.

"Sister Wanying, let's go!" Xu Shu took Zheng Wanying to Zheng Wanli's residence.

Because the master of the mansion died and died on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere in the entire palace was particularly heavy. All the red lanterns hung during the Chinese New Year were replaced with white mosquitoes, and all the colorful flowers and trees specially cultivated for the Chinese New Year were removed. There was no bright and festive color in the entire palace, but it was completed in just one day. It turned out that the Empress Dowager took action, and the efficiency was different.

When I came to the yard where Zheng Wanli lived, I found that the yard door was closed. Zheng Wanying said strangely, "Cousin Qi lives here?"

Xu Shu nodded, "Yes!"

"Why are the doors closed in broad daylight?" Zheng Wanying looked strange, but because Xu Shu said that Zheng Wanli lived here, she asked the girl to go up and knock on the door.

After knocking for a long time, I finally heard someone coming. The door was a half-foot-wide crack, and a head was poked out, very erect and alert, "Who are you looking for?"

Xu Shu had heard this voice, but she had never seen her face. Xu Shu knew where this person came from. It seemed that the Empress Dowager not only replaced the servants of Prince Qing’s Mansion, but also changed the people around Zheng Wanli. It seemed that Mrs. Zheng San could not see Zheng Wanli today. This would be good and save trouble!

"Is this the residence of Zheng...Empress Zheng?" Xu Shu asked. Zheng Wanli's grade was also gone with the deprivation of King Qing's title. I can only call her the aunt.

The palace maid looked up and down at Xu Shu, then looked at Zheng Wanying beside her. The vigilance on her face did not dissipate, nor did she directly answer Xu Shu's question. Instead, she asked, "Who are you? What's the matter with Aunt Zheng?"

Zheng Wanying also felt something was wrong and whispered to Xu Shu, "Isn't this person around Sister Qi? Why don't you even recognize Sister Yi?"

Xu Shu shook her head gently and said to the palace maid at the door, "We are the cousins ​​of Zheng. We are here to worship Prince Longan today, so we will visit Zheng!"

The palace maid's face relaxed slightly, "It turns out that it is the lady from the Zheng Mansion! The two ladies are intent, but Aunt Zheng is too sad and doesn't want to see outsiders. Please invite them back!"

Xu Shu and Zheng Wanying looked at each other. Xu Shu nodded and signaled to the palace maid, then pulled Zheng Wanying away. She kept watching the two of them walking away, and the palace maid closed the yard door.

Zheng Wanying finally couldn't help but ask Xu Shu in a low voice, "Sister Yi, do you think something is wrong? At this time, no matter how sad Cousin Qi is, it is impossible for her to see her family! And the maid just now didn't look like a servant at all, so she must have deliberately stopped us!"

Xu Shu said, "Whether she did it on purpose or not! All she had to do was not let Cousin Qi have any contact with the outside, so as not to get into trouble! Even if something was really wrong, we could not ask about it! From the moment she was married, she was no longer a member of the Zheng family, and her affairs had nothing to do with the Zheng family!"

Zheng Wanying nodded in a vague way, "Is it because the prince is dead? Cousin Qi is his concubine and has no children. After the prince is buried, will Cousin Qi be sent to the temple like the old aunts without children in the family?"

"It would be fine if that was the case!" Xu Shu shook her head slightly, "Let's go, let's find a secluded place to sit and wait for my mother and aunt to come over! It's so cold outside!"

"good!"

Fortunately, most people in the mansion were busy with the funeral of Prince Long'an in the mourning hall. There were not many people walking outside. Xu Shu and Zheng Wanying walked along the way and didn't see a figure. They wanted to ask for a way. Finally, they found a house in the corner of the garden. There were still charcoal fires in the house. It should be the house where the servants in the garden rested. At this moment, people didn't know where they went. Although the house was simple, Xu Shu was afraid of the cold and could not take care of so many things.

After roasting it against the charcoal fire for a while, Xu Shu became much warmer, but because the servants used ordinary firewood, there was smoke from time to time, and the charcoal fire was strong, Zheng Wanying was so choked that she coughed.

Xu Shu said, "Then let's go inside, it's warmer inside, and you don't have to suffer from the smoke and fire!"

"Okay! Sister Yi still loves me!" Zheng Wanying's eyes were red with coughing, and she hurriedly pulled Xu Shu inside after hearing this.

As soon as Xu Shu took Zheng Wanying to live in the inner room, she heard footsteps coming from outside, and it was getting closer and closer, as if she was heading towards the room where they were.

"Shh~" Seeing that Zheng Wanying was about to speak, Xu Shu hurriedly booed.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Wanying asked in a low voice.

"Someone is here..."

"Is it the servant who was guarding the yard in this room? Let's talk to her carefully and probably won't drive us away!"
