While I was recovering from my injuries, the prince sent me some supplements, saying that he had wanted to come and thank me, but it was not convenient for him to leave the palace.
I heard that the case was finally closed, and some guards of the enclosure who had neglected their duties were punished. It was their negligence that allowed the assassin to sneak in.
Originally, as an eyewitness, I was also supposed to be taken to the Dali Temple for questioning, but because of Situ Xuan's relationship with the Crown Prince, this step was skipped. Anyway, I told Situ Xuan all the information they needed.
Because Situ Xuan was involved, although he was not directly responsible for the case, he still provided a lot of assistance.
After my injury healed a little, he disappeared all day long as he was busy.
The Marquis' Mansion was also reorganized. It was indeed a problem that "Jia Liu" was able to get in for so long.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon. I was going to attend the palace's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with Situ Xuan, and I could also take this opportunity to meet the Duke and Duchess of England. Situ Xuan saw that I was not interested. After all, I was not the real Yu Jinyao, and I was not eager for the opportunity to meet my parents.
He reported this to the emperor in advance, saying that my injury had not yet healed and it was not appropriate for me to go to the palace to see him, and he also stayed in the palace to take care of me. With such a straightforward reason, the news that Situ Xuan and I were deeply in love and affectionate spread throughout the court and the public.
Even the Duchess of England, Yu Jinyao's biological mother, came to visit me once.
Afterwards, the magpie told me with a smile that it was a blessing in disguise.
"Madam, you are now a great contributor to the Marquis's Mansion, and our Marquis dotes on you so much. When you recover and give birth to a little prince, the Duke and his wife will surely be very pleased."
In the past, when I heard Xi Que say such things, I would argue with her, but now it seems like I am just listening to her talking about other people's affairs that have nothing to do with me.
I forced a perfunctory smile as a response.
The Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was very lively.
The figures of people passing by swayed in front of my eyes. I put on a fake smile to deal with the guests, but it felt like there was a little person crying inside, and no matter what I did, I couldn't comfort it and it was so noisy and annoying.
During the meal, I didn't eat much, but I drank a lot of wine. Because it was a festival today, and I had invited friends and relatives to a banquet, it was rare that Situ Xuan also picked up the wine glass, and no one noticed this detail.
I left the table and walked around alone, saying I wanted to get rid of the alcohol.
Two maids wanted to follow me, but I sent them away in a firm manner.
At this moment, he was still conscious and his steps were steady.
Before I knew it, I saw the familiar bamboo forest. Following the path in the forest, I should have seen the courtyard of the Beast Courtyard, but now there were only broken walls that had not been completely demolished, with piles of mud and sand on the side and neatly arranged tools, as if the work was half-finished.
Even the previous smell of soil, grass and the stench of wild beasts was gone. Nothing was left.
"Hey! Who's that over there?" A servant guarding the construction site saw a figure and yelled at me.
I stood there without moving. After a while, he came closer with a lantern in his hand. "Oh, it's Madam. I didn't see it clearly just now. Why are you here so late at night?"
"What's going on here?" I pointed at the scene in front of me.
"My Madam, this is what the Marquis ordered. We're going to build a stage for the old lady here, and then build a courtyard next to it for cool air. Oh, it's still under construction. Because it's a holiday today, the craftsmen have been rewarded to go to the West Wing to ask for a drink, and I'm the one staying behind to watch the night. This is also the rule of our Marquis' Mansion, and I don't feel tired at all..." The other party was talking to himself, and he clearly smelled of alcohol.
