Mrs. Cheng looked delighted.

Judging from the situation, they will most likely take action immediately.

Sure enough, Xier did not rush back this time, but quietly walked into another alley diagonally opposite the pharmacy.

About half an hour later, a familiar figure appeared in front of the pharmacy.

It was none other than Xiaoyu, one of the maids sent by Princess Kang to serve Yinxin.

Xiaoyu came into the shop with a prescription and was greeted by the apprentice from before.

The apprentice took Xiaoyu's prescription and quickly grabbed a pack of medicine. While Xiaoyu was paying, the apprentice quickly took another pack of medicine from under the counter and replaced the medicine on the counter...

Mrs. Cheng stared with her eyes wide open and was terrified.

It was exactly as she had guessed...

The most critical moment is coming!

She turned around and ran back to Prince Kang's Mansion to report the good news to Shen Rongyue.

"You mean, she has already taken action today?" Shen Rongyue was surprised when she heard that.

Mother Cheng nodded heavily: "I saw it clearly, there is no mistake, we will know the result today. I just don't know whether it is just the life of the one in the belly, or two lives for one corpse..."

Shen Rongyue rubbed her hands excitedly and paced back and forth in the room: "So what should we do now? Should we wait in the room so that we can help if something goes wrong?"

That's what she thought before.

As long as Chu Xinglan took action, she would secretly help her from behind to ensure that she would succeed.

After hearing what Shen Rongyue said, Mrs. Cheng shook her head and said, "Miss, let's wait and see what happens. It's better not to get involved, lest we get into trouble by accident and suffer the consequences."

"If Chu Xinglan fails once, he will definitely do it again. Miss, don't worry. According to this old servant, we should stay away from each other and sever our ties first."

Shen Rongyue nodded.

This is also true.

This matter is very serious. Once I get involved, I will never be able to turn things around in the future...

Then she would wait aside, and after Chu Xinglan succeeded, she would have someone expose her...kill two birds with one stone!

Shen Rongyue immediately changed her clothes, called Xiao Cui and Cheng Po to follow her, and went to Zhulanyuan to find Qin Yueze.

Qin Yueze was discussing matters with others in the hall.

When he heard that Shen Rongyue took the initiative to visit Shen Qingyin, he looked relieved.

"You go now. I have other things to do right now. When I have finished my work later, I will go to the General's Mansion to pick you up personally—"

Shen Rongyue responded coquettishly: "Okay, then I will wait for the prince in the general's mansion."

Then he turned and left the house.

"Concubine Shen, the wind is strong today. What if the general's wife refuses to see us?"

The maid Xiao Cui did not know the truth. Seeing Shen Rongyue confidently going to meet the general's wife, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Others don't know, but she knows.

Concubine Shen and the General's wife don't have a good relationship, so it's not easy to meet each other...

Concubine Shen often worries about how she can meet the general's wife!

"What does it matter? If she has something to do and it's inconvenient for her to see us, we will just wait at the door until she is ready to see us." Shen Rongyue's lips curled up.

If you can enter the general's mansion, then go in. If you can't, then wait at the door.

In short, she was not in the palace, and her personal maid was not in the palace either.

If something fatal happened in the palace, it would have nothing to do with her!

Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly when we arrived at the General's Mansion.

After the doorman went in to report, he soon came out with a smile on his face.

"Madam is in the garden at the back." The doorman called the maid to lead Shen Rongyue and her servant to the garden.

When they arrived at the garden gate, the maid suddenly remembered that she had something else to do, and said apologetically, "Madam is inside, Concubine Shen, please do as you please," and then left.

Shen Rongyue didn't mind at all, as she was very familiar with the garden of the general's mansion.

So he took Xiao Cui and Cheng Po into the garden to find Shen Qingyin.

But no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find Shen Qingyin.

It was true that she was familiar with the garden of the general's mansion, but it was too big. She didn't know if she had missed it. In any case, she searched for half an hour but couldn't find it.

Not to mention Shen Qingyin, not even a servant was seen!

The wind in early spring is quite cold, and today the west wind is strong, which makes people feel headache.

Shen Rongyue, who originally had a smile on her face, gradually turned ugly.

"Miss, I'm afraid the second young lady is intentional..." Mrs. Cheng rubbed her sore legs, hesitating what to say.

Shen Rongyue glared at her angrily.

Do I need Cheng Po to tell me?

She was not a fool. After going around in circles, she naturally realized that Shen Qingyin was deliberately teasing her.

"Concubine Shen, it's too cold. Why don't we go back first?" Xiao Cui tightened her clothes and asked tentatively.

Shen Rongyue glared at Xiao Cui who didn't know the truth: "You are the only one who knows about cold?"

She was cold too. She was in a good mood when she went out today, so she wore a newly made spring coat. Now she regretted it very much. She wished she had brought a winter cloak!

But it's still early now. What if the matter has not been accomplished yet? Wouldn't it be difficult to escape suspicion if I go back?

Only Mrs. Cheng had been wearing thick clothes in recent days. Apart from complaining about leg pain, she didn't complain about the cold...

In order to delay more time, Shen Rongyue endured the cold and continued to stroll around the garden in the cold wind with two servants.

Another half hour passed, and he could no longer bear it, so he led the two of them back to the garden gate.

At a glance, I saw the maid waiting at the door.

"Our lady didn't wait for Concubine Shen in the garden. She thought she must have taken a wrong path and felt a little cold, so she went back to the house first. She asked me to wait here so that she could tell Concubine Shen." said the maid.

Shen Rongyue was so angry that her liver ached.

Even though I knew it in my heart, I couldn't reveal it.

All he could say was, "It's okay, it's okay!"

After a pause, he asked again: "Can you take me to see her now?"

"I'm sorry, but my wife is in the madam's room now and is talking to her. It's inconvenient for her to see you again."

Seeing that the general's mansion had no intention of keeping guests, Shen Rongyue had to say goodbye: "Then I will come to visit my second sister another day. I won't bother you today..."

The maid escorted the master and servants to the gate of the mansion, and ran into Qin Yueze who came to pick them up.

Seeing Qin Yueze, Shen Rongyue was suddenly disappointed.

The fact that Qin Yueze could come here meant that nothing had happened in the mansion. If something had happened, Qin Yueze would not have bothered to come and pick him up...

"Yue'er, is second sister's injury better?" Qin Yueze asked.

Shen Rongyue looked at the maidservant next to her and forced a smile awkwardly: "Okay, let's get in the car and talk..."

After that, without waiting for Qin Yueze to speak, he got on the carriage.

"My Lord, I'm a little hungry. I heard that Zuixianlou has launched a lot of new dishes recently. Why don't you take me to try them?" Shen Rongyue said.

It's almost dinner time now. If we delay any longer, something might happen...

Qin Yueze shook his head without even thinking: "Not today, I have something important to discuss with my father later, let's go back home quickly."
