The journey to Jiangnan was quite tortuous. First, the boat they were on had an accident, and they barely escaped death.

If the scheduled ship had not arrived yet, I would have fallen ill on the way.

The aunt arranged by the queen could only wait until the girl recovered from her illness, which would take more than half a month.

When he recovered from his illness and was ready to continue his journey, the boat broke down again.

They had no choice but to take the land route. As a result, they had just passed Shandong when two local gentry had a falling out over the marriage of their children and they got together to fight.

I wanted to go around it, but ended up getting accidentally injured by someone who was so angry that he went crazy.

He was forced to recuperate there. The journey to Jiangnan was supposed to take about a month, but it ended up taking so long that he didn't arrive until May.

It took three full months.

When they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, the aunt thought that everything would be settled in the manor. However, before they left the manor, a thunderbolt struck directly at night, splitting the yard next to the town in half.

My aunt was disheartened.

They could only arrange for Na Zhen to live in another courtyard. But the same thing happened again. A huge thunder struck the sky at night, striking down all the houses except Na Zhen's.

My aunt was so scared that she prayed to gods and Buddha all night long.

Aunt wanted to leave Na Zhen to fend for himself, but she couldn't bear to do that. She saw Na Zhen suffer a lot along the way.

In the end, he could only ask for help from the person who was guarding the real person arranged by Qianlong. After the letter of thanks was returned to the Queen, she took the letter to find Qianlong.

The veins on Qianlong's hands bulged as he held the letter, and he said that there must be some evil spirit among the Nara clan.

"Is Nara still alive now?" Qianlong asked coldly.

Queen: "My aunt wrote to say that Nara is fine now. She just lost some weight due to illness. It's nothing serious. The lightning struck bypassed her both times." This means that Nara is still lucky.

If it were someone else, he would probably just chop it to pieces.

"Nara is an unlucky person. Even the heavens have sent lightning to strike her several times."

The Queen was puzzled, but she didn't ask. Why did the Emperor still think there was something wrong with Nara when she was so lucky?

Qianlong read the last two letters at a glance and said, "Just arrange two maids to look after her there, and don't worry about the rest."

"But Nara has never done all these before. There are only two maids looking after her, which may be inconsiderate." The queen said. She felt that although Nara's family was not of high status, they only sent two maids to look after Nara, which was a treatment Nara would not have at home.

Qianlong glanced at the queen and said, "Queen, I know you are a kind person, but this Nara clan obviously looks like something is wrong. If there are too many people here, what if there is another thunderbolt and someone else is hurt?"

It's not like Nara was without hands or feet. Now he occasionally woke up in the middle of the night. When he thought about his previous dreams, Qianlong felt unwell.

That babbling sound, go to the wall right now!

He can no longer listen to the Kunqu opera that he used to love. Whenever he sees it, he thinks of the mentally ill Nala in his dream.

The queen did not dare to argue. After so long, she still didn't know the reason, but she could clearly see Qianlong's disgust.

"The concubine knows."

Qianlong nodded and talked about Concubine Chun again, "As for Su, wait until she gives birth and then go back to the palace."
