Chapter 1502 The Last Journey 2
Ripple nodded and said:
"Thank you, aunt."

Then he turned to Fulin and said:

"Go to the carriage and get a spare set of clothes."

"Yes, princess!"

Fulin bowed, left the mourning hall and went to get his clothes.

Madam Nangong then led Lianyi to a room in the backyard and said:

"Princess, I am deeply distressed by your son's passing. I hope you will forgive me if I have been inconsiderate."

Lian Yi said very generously:
"I understand my aunt's feelings, please be patient and don't hurt yourself. My mother asked me to see my cousin off for the last time, and she also asked me to pass on a message to you. If you need anything, you can go to the palace to see her."

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your concern."

Mrs. Nangong bowed politely. At this time, Fulin came over with some clothes, so Mrs. Nangong took her leave at the right time.

Yuelang took the clothes from Fulin's hand and pushed open the door of the wing room. Fulin stood guarding the door.

As soon as Lianyi and the other two stepped into the room, they realized something was wrong. The incense from the incense burner in the room was too sweet.

"Princess, there's something wrong with this room."

Yue Jue immediately said vigilantly.

Lianyi had already covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and after waving her hands, the three of them left the room as they were.

Fulin watched his princess go in and come out again, and he was unable to react for a moment.

Lianyi released her hand from covering her mouth and nose, and coldly instructed Yuejue:
"You wait in the room. Once you are sure that the person who entered this room is a stranger, break his neck and send the body to Madam Nangong's bed."

Yue Jue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and responded.

"Yuelang, find another room to change clothes."

"Yes, princess!"

Fulin had already reacted by now, and was so angry that he gritted his teeth. How dare the Nangong family? They actually stretched their hands to the princess. Did they really think that the majesty of the royal family could be trampled on so easily?

Lianyi's expression was quite calm. She chose a room and changed her outer clothes. Then, under Yuelang's guidance, she went to the mourning hall in the front hall from another road.

At this time, Madam Nangong was anxiously leading several female relatives to the room where Lianyi was changing clothes, muttering to herself:
"Don't let anything happen to you."

The women nearby looked at each other, with fear and curiosity in their eyes. Some of them seemed to have regretted wading into this muddy water, but were just pushed forward.

Madam Nangong saw that the door of the previous wing room was closed and the eunuch Fulin who was guarding the door was gone. She frowned, but still pushed the door open without hesitation.

The people who followed couldn't help but be curious and stuck their heads to look inside, but the entire room was empty. Not to mention people, there was not even a shadow.

Madam Nangong glanced at the incense burner. The incense inside had burned out, but there was no sign of the princess in the house.

"Madam Nangong, did you see it wrongly? Maybe the princess has already gone to the front hall."

A middle-aged woman immediately came out to smooth things over.

Madam Nangong frowned and said:
"But I brought the princess to this room myself, and now she's gone. Did something happen?"

"Madam Nangong, this is the Nangong Mansion. If something happens to the princess here, you will probably be responsible. You should find the person first!"

A lady who noticed something was wrong said immediately. At this moment, Madam Nangong's personal maid hurried to her side, bowed, and whispered a few words in her ear. Madam Nangong's face twisted for a moment, and then returned to calm.

Then she said with a forced smile:
"It's my fault for alarming everyone. The princess must have changed her clothes a long time ago. She is now in the front hall preparing to return to the palace. Let's go and see her off."

Some people listened to Madam Nangong's insincere words and felt contempt in their hearts, but they all responded in a supportive manner, and then the group of people returned to the front hall in a mighty manner.

Madam Nangong immediately saw Princess Anping, who had changed her clothes and looked calm. The two maids beside her also stood behind her with calm faces.

Madam Nangong calmed herself down, then walked over quickly and said:

"Princess, are you going back to the palace?"

Lianyi glanced at Madam Nangong and said without any ripples in her eyes:
"Uncle, please accept my condolences! I have to go back to report to my mother and take care of her illness. I can't stay here for long. Please understand."

Nangong Yan immediately bowed and said:

"Your Highness the Princess is seeing me off."

Madam Nangong was ignored, but she showed nothing. She still respectfully sent Lianyi to the carriage and then returned to the mansion.

After Lianyi's carriage left the main street where Nangong Mansion was located, Yuejue spoke:
"Princess, a man entered the room where you wanted to change clothes through the secret passage. He has been dealt with by my subordinates and sent to Madam Nangong's bed as you ordered."

"Well, well done! Do you know the other party's identity?"

Lianyi asked while twirling the fan in her hand.

"It's Nangong Yu, the legitimate son of Nangong Che, the second son of the Nangong family."

Lian Yi paused after hearing this, then pursed her lips and smiled and said:
"This good aunt of mine is really calculating. She instigated that idiot to stay in the same room with me, and then found someone to expose the scene of me having a secret meeting with someone, thinking that this way she could marry the princess. She is really vicious and stupid."

Neither Yuejue nor Yuelang responded.

Lian Yi said to the two of them:
"Tell Father the truth about what happened today. I believe he will make the decision."

"Yes, princess."

Both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They had been hesitating whether to tell His Majesty about this matter. Now that the princess had spoken up herself, it saved them a lot of trouble.

After Lianyi returned to the palace, she paid her respects to her mother, conveyed Nangong Yan's thanks, and then left Fengyi Palace amid the Queen's somewhat unnatural look.

Only after returning to her palace did Lianyi frown. Looking at the Queen's unnatural expression, she knew that the Queen was not unaware of what Madam Nangong had done. She probably was also a participant. After all, if it hadn't been for her instructions, she wouldn't have to go to the Nangong Mansion to pay her condolences.

At this moment Lianyi felt really sad for the original body. It turned out that the ones who hurt you the most are always your loved ones.

After Madam Nangong sent Lianyi away, all her energy and spirit seemed to be drained away. Her steps were a little unsteady, and she was finally supported by her personal maid and went back to the backyard to rest.

But a moment later, a shrill scream was heard from the backyard, startling all the people who came to pay their respects. They wondered if something had happened in the Nangong Mansion again.
Then the confidant nanny beside Madam Nangong came crawling over to call Nangong Yan to the backyard, saying that Madam had suddenly fainted. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the matter was not simple, but no one dared to ask more questions. They all advised the head of the Nangong family to go and check on Madam first.

Nangong Yan hurried into the lady's residence in the backyard. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Madam Nangong being carried out by maids and old women and placed on the bluestone slab at the door. The old woman was pinching her Ren Zhong.

"What's going on? Why don't you carry the lady in?"

Nangong Yan asked with a frown.

The head maid Lianxiang raised her pale face and said:

"Master, you will know if you go in and take a look."
