Wen pulled Gu Zhiyin to sit down and looked at the maid coldly: "I recognize you, Chuntao beside Wei, do you know where this is?"

Chun Tao glanced around and asked in panic, "Pingyang Palace?"

She was a second-class maid in the main courtyard and had never been to Prince Pingyang's Mansion, but seeing the two people in front of her, it was not difficult for her to guess where she was.

Chuntao was worried and didn't understand why the people from Prince Pingyang's Mansion wanted to kidnap her.

She is not the Madam's trusted maid.

"Now that you know, you should also recognize your situation. If you are more sensible, I can still spare your life. Otherwise... I will make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."

Chuntao was frightened by Wen's stern expression and the blood drained from her face.

She nodded fearfully.

It would be easy for Princess Pingyang to take her life. Not to mention that the lady was not in the Marquis' Mansion at the moment, even if she was, she would not be able to come to save her.

"Why is the princess sick? Why is her courtyard guarded by guards? What is Wei planning?" Wen said with infinite coldness on her icy face.

Chuntao's forehead was covered with cold sweat. She crawled on the ground and said, "I am only a second-class maid. I don't know much. The princess first caught a cold and never recovered. Later I heard that she had a rash. The doctor said there is a risk of infection. It is best to seal off the surrounding area temporarily and not let anyone in or out. That's why the guards were called to guard the princess's yard. I really don't know much, but the princess's maids Qianyue and Qingtang were severely punished by the lady for talking back to Miss Pei. They were beaten with thirty boards and sent to the manor behind Cuishan."

"Madam is particularly kind to Miss Pei. I guess that Madam intends to take Miss Pei as a concubine for the prince. I don't know much more than that."

After Chuntao finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily.

"Does the princess know about taking a concubine?" Gu Zhiyin asked.

Chun Tao raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Zhiyin. She was stunned for a long while, as if thinking, and then nodded: "You should know. When the princess first fell ill, she had a big quarrel with the lady. I think the lady proposed to take Miss Pei as a concubine, but the princess refused."

Wen frowned and looked at Gu Zhiyin: "What she said is the same as if she didn't say anything."

After all, Chuntao was not a trusted maid, so she knew very little.

Gu Zhiyin thought for a moment and said, "Mother, at least we know that the maidservants who served my eldest sister were sent to the farm. Tell Manager Zheng to send people to take them back to the palace. We have already alerted the enemy tonight. We have kidnapped Chuntao. Someone from the Ji family must have informed the wife of the Marquis of Xing'an overnight. She will definitely come back tomorrow. If soft tactics don't work, we can only use hard tactics."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wen nodded.

Gu Zhiyin: "Early tomorrow morning, my mother will ask someone to take my grandmother's name card to invite the imperial physician. I will take people to the Xing'an Marquis's Mansion to take my eldest sister back to the palace to recuperate."

Wen replied, "Yes."

Chuntao was locked up, and Manager Zheng took the guards from the palace to the farm she mentioned.

The guards were agile and quickly found the two men. Because they had been beaten with a stick and no doctor was called, they were simply treated by Zhuang Shangzi's servants. At the moment, the two men were in a very bad condition, and could be described as dying.

It should be considered that these two people would not live long, so there was no guard at the door.

The guards entered the room, each carrying one person on their back, and quickly disappeared into the thick night without alarming anyone.

Manager Zheng also received Gu Zhiyin's instructions and asked someone to invite Doctor Liu to wait in the mansion.

The two were settled in Qingyi Courtyard, the courtyard where Fu Yunyao lived before she got married.
