There is wine today, drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad.

"I hereby declare the official establishment of the organizing committee for the Lan Fei Memorial Gala. I will be the project manager for this project. Shuiyue, you will be responsible for collecting all the information about Lan Fei in the palace. Zhuzi, you will be responsible for purchasing the usual items. Zhuying, you will be responsible for selecting the meals. Please prepare on your own first, and then review the progress together in two days. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Several people were full of novelty about this form and agreed in unison. Only Zhu Ying was still worried because of the "trouble" she had caused. She asked hesitantly: "But Princess, how do we deal with the matter of the brocade quilt?"

"It's just a small matter. Don't worry about it for now. I have made preparations. Wan Tao, go and order the carriage. Follow me out of the palace to go somewhere later."

So, several people took their own tasks and acted separately.

After everything was arranged, the carriage took Wan Neng and Wan Tao out of the palace and headed straight to Ziheng's house outside the palace. Li Song specially cleaned up a room in the front yard, and Liu Xueyu's wife and children lived here before the case was solved. As soon as the carriage arrived at the house and had not yet stopped steadily, Wan Ning jumped off the carriage and arranged for someone to put away the things she brought, and went directly to the front yard.

The furnishings in the courtyard remained the same as before, but the fallen leaves on the ground had not been swept away, making it a little more messy than before. The withered yellow leaves looked even more lonely and desolate in the cold wind and sunlight. Intermittent crying sounds came from a house not far away. It was a woman and a child. I think Mrs. Liu has already learned about Liu Xueyu's affairs.

Unable to bear it, she stood in the yard, took a deep breath, and prepared herself, then she quickened her pace and walked in.

Zhang Yue'e was kneeling on the ground in the room, holding her equally sad child, and saw someone coming in. She numbly raised her head, her face was covered with tears, her eyes were red and bloodshot, and her originally beautiful eyes became abnormally swollen. Seeing that the person coming was Princess Le Yan, she struggled to pull out one hand to support herself and tried to stand up, but she was too weak and fell to the ground again as soon as she stood up.

Wan Ning felt pity and hurried forward to help her up with her son, but the moment they touched her, her emotions broke down again and tears filled her face. Zhang Yue'e held Wan Ning's arm tightly in panic, and cried out in great sorrow and difficulty: "Your Highness, Liu Xueyu died for the people of Sangcheng and for the peace of Chu State. Please, Your Highness, make a decision for him!"

"Mom, mom, dad, dad," Liu Jianche seemed to be inspired by something and cried beside him.

Wan Ning nodded and gently patted the back of her hand, trying to give her some support. Wan Tao happened to find this place at this moment, and seeing this touching scene, she quickly stepped forward to pull Wan Ning's arm out of Madam Liu's hand, and helped Madam Liu to sit back on the chair.

"Please rest assured, Madam Liu. The princess has always been concerned about this case. It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out." Wan Tao comforted Madam Liu and poured her a glass of water.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu's mood had improved, Wan Ning felt a dull pain in her arm. She lifted her sleeves and found that it was already red. Mrs. Liu, who was in grief just now, seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and she released a huge amount of energy in despair. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wan Ning pulled down her clothes to cover it up and kept silent.

"The people involved in this case will be taken back to Nanye for trial soon. For your safety, we have added personnel to protect this house. Now you must not leave here at will. If you need anything, you can tell Lisong and he will arrange someone to deliver it. It may be a bit hard, so please be patient for a few days." Wan Ning explained.

"Princess, rest assured. As long as Liu Lang can be cleared of his grievances, I will do my best to cooperate." Zhang Yue'e hugged the child and nodded, wiping away the tears on her face. She then asked tentatively, "Princess, when can I go see Liu Lang?"

The so-called "take a look" was naturally the remains of Liu Xueyu. However, it was said that the remains had been completely disfigured, which was too cruel for his relatives.

"We need to wait a few more days to prevent anyone from interfering. The remains of Lord Liu are being specially guarded and will be handed back after the case is successfully investigated. Madam Liu, you still need to be strong." Wan Ning held Zhang Yue'e's hand, patted her shoulder gently, and helped her sit on the chair. Fortunately, Zhang Yue'e was stronger than expected. Although she was about to die of sadness, she still struggled to stay calm and expressed her gratitude to the princess appropriately.

Wan Ning realized that she could not do anything here and could not make Mrs. Liu's sadness disappear. Instead, she became so cautious. So she found an excuse to leave first. As soon as she left the front yard, she ran into Li Song, who was expressionless. She told Li Song to send more people to look after Mrs. Liu and the children. Now that the case is about to be tried, there is no guarantee that the people behind it will do something bad out of desperation. They must be protected.

They left the palace for another reason this time, which was to resolve the previous rumors.

After leaving the house, they rushed to South Street without stopping. As soon as the sound of horse hooves sounded at the entrance of the alley, a circle of people surrounded them. The leader was a sturdy man with a strong back and strong waist. His square face was tanned by the sun for a season, but his chestnut-like eyes showed his simplicity. Seeing that the carriage stopped, everyone tacitly moved forward half a step. Wan Tao in the carriage looked at Le Yan nervously, fearing that the princess would encounter an accident.

Wan Ning looked calm and patted Wan Tao's hand without panic, signaling her not to worry. She then opened the curtain and raised her voice to shout joyfully, "Beans!"

A bright smile appeared on his dark face, and he said excitedly: "Beautiful sister, you are finally here?", then he jumped and ran towards the carriage, looking a little more cute and naive compared to his huge body.

Wan Ning took out a package of pastries that had been packed from the palace and handed it to him. Douzi wiped his hands on his clothes anxiously and took it with both hands with a smile on his face. He then opened the package and carefully took out a piece and handed it to the mother-in-law standing next to him: "Mother-in-law, this is for you."

Seeing his contrasting appearance, this man who looked very intimidating turned out to be a person with mental problems. What surprised her even more was that the princess was so familiar with them.

"Mother-in-law won't eat it. Have you thanked your sister?"

"Thank you, sister." After hearing her mother-in-law's reminder, Douzi finally remembered and quickly added a sentence to Wan Ning.

"You're welcome. After eating my cakes, you must listen to what grandma says." Wan Ning said in a coaxing tone, and then turned to grandma and asked, "Have you checked everything I asked you to check?"
