"Miss Shen, I will go in and inform you first. Please wait here for a moment."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Aunt Tan brought Shen Wanwan to the Cining Palace and asked her to wait outside the main hall door, and then she walked into the main hall alone.

It was noon, and Shen Wanwan stood under the scorching sun for a full quarter of an hour before a palace maid came out of the hall.

"If I had seen Miss Shen, the Empress Dowager had just finished her lunch, and Aunt Tan had already taken her to bed. She asked me to take Miss Shen to Changchun Palace."

Shen Wanwan frowned, but before she could say anything, Ruyi continued, "Aunt Tan said that the Empress is ill. Since Miss Shen is a skilled doctor, she will stay in Changchun Palace for the next few days, waiting for the Empress to summon her at any time."

Shen Wanwan: “???”

Obviously, wanting her to treat the Queen Mother was fake, and wanting to trap her in the palace was real.

She was really curious about what the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had done so much trouble to bring her into the palace. What was their purpose?

Thinking about what happened before by the lotus pond, Shen Wanwan once again had a strange idea: the emperor and the queen mother wanted to kill her!

Gu Beichen, ah, Gu Beichen, it seems that you should just stay where you are and not go anywhere.

Ruyi brought Shen Wanwan to Changchun Palace but did not leave. "Miss Shen, from today on, I will be responsible for your food, clothing, and daily life in Changchun Palace. If you need anything, just tell me to do it."

Shen Wanwan blinked. Ruyi was someone close to the Queen Mother, so she knew without asking that she stayed here to monitor her.

She nodded and asked casually, "Which master of the palace lives next door?"

She had just seen a palace maid coming out of the palace next door from afar. If she was not mistaken, that person was the palace maid who had been seen following Princess Anping in the imperial garden before.

"In reply to Miss Shen, the Yonghe Palace currently only houses Princess Anping."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ruyi answered Shen Wanwan's questions with almost everything she knew.

More than 20 years ago, Luo Qingyue, the daughter of Duke Qing, married Emperor Tianchen and moved into Yonghe Palace, where she gave birth to Prince Rui and Princess Anping.

After it was confirmed that Prince Rui had raised private soldiers, he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Luo Qingyue's title of imperial concubine was also stripped away, and she was then moved out of Yonghe Palace and imprisoned in the cold palace.

The affair between Prince Rui and the Imperial Concubine did not implicate Princess Anping. She could still live in Yonghe Palace, but she was under house arrest and was not allowed to enter or leave Yonghe Palace without being summoned.

"Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the princess was released from house arrest, but she is still not allowed to go near the Cining Palace and Qiankun Hall."

Shen Wanwan looked at Ruyi calmly. What was her intention in telling her this?

The two walked around before entering the hall.

"I'm a little tired and need to rest for a while. If the Queen Mother wants to see me, please call me in time."

After Shen Wanwan finished speaking, she turned and walked into the bedroom, closed the door casually, and then closed all the windows. She flashed into the space study and saw Pei Wanwan writing quickly with a pen.

"It's just right that you're here, I..."

"Le Yao, you're here just in time. I was just about to leave you a note to tell you that the prince cousin is out of town."

After Shen Wanwan and Jiang Baitong entered the palace, Pei Wanwan went straight back to Xie Mansion and learned that Ye Tianlan had left Xie Mansion and went out of the city to Jokhang Temple when they left for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Le Yao, I remember that the incident with the King of Qin also happened in the Jokhang Temple. Do you think there's some shameful secret hidden there?"
