“What?”
Chu Nianhe was shocked and quickly pushed open the door and walked out: “Did you see that the soldiers are heading towards the Chu Mansion? What is the person in the leader dressed and what is his expression?”
Zhou Ji heard her question, but he said with a serious look: “The carriage is covered with a gauze curtain, and I can’t see what the people inside look like. But the people outside are dressed by the palace, and I’m afraid they are sent from the palace.”
Chu Nianhe was even more frightened when she heard this. She quickly turned around and changed her clothes in the room, and hurried back to the mansion with Xiaochan.
Before he could reach the gate of the Chu Mansion, Chu Nianhe saw a red-topped sedan parked in front of the side door of the Chu Mansion. She felt a stern, and quickly got off the carriage and walked towards the red-topped carriage.
“Who is inside?”
She walked a little closer and asked.
If she remembers it well, this carriage should be the one the princess often rides when she leaves the palace. But she didn’t know if the person in the carriage was the princess, so she could only ask first.
When the person in the carriage heard the movement, he immediately lifted the curtain and exposed his face. But Chu Nianhe doesn’t recognize this face.
“Who are you?”
Chu Nianhe frowned and looked at the older man dressed in a palace maid on the opposite side with some confusion.
The man showed a look of anxiety on his face, and he half-kneeled down and said, “Mr. Shangyi, the princess asked me to come over and tell you, saying that the Empress wanted to be the title of the old lady of the Chu Mansion as the old lady. When I came out of the palace, the person who announced the imperial edict had probably arrived at the main street of Jinyun City!”
“What?”
Chu Nianhe didn’t say anything, but Xiaochan on the side was startled and frowned and said to Chu Nianhe: “The old lady’s edict is not the first day, why did she retreat today? The old lady has always loved her identity very much. Now that she is like this, she is afraid that she will be sad.”
After hearing the palace maid’s words, Chu Nianhe turned around and walked towards the mansion while hesitating.
But after walking two steps, she turned around and asked the palace maid, “The princess said she would go to the piano room this morning to get the Jiaowei guqin, can she get it back now?”
“It’s taken back,”
The palace maid’s face turned stern, and she said tightly, “Master Shangyi, the princess told me to tell you not to worry about the matter in the palace. Old Madam Chu is important, please go quickly.”
“Yes.”
Chu Nianhe nodded and turned toward the direction in front of the mansion.
When I arrived at the door, I saw a carriage from the palace parked in front of the door. The jade bells hanging on the four corners of the carriage were also a decoration that the palace was used to.
Chu Nianhe’s heart tightened even more and he quickly headed towards Jinglan Pavilion.
Halfway through, I happened to meet a maid from the mansion. But the maid was in a hurry and didn’t know what to do.
Chu Nianhe signaled Xiaochan to stop the maid. When the maid saw Chu Nianhe, she knelt in front of Chu Nianhe with an anxious look on her face and said, “Miss, you are back! Some people from the palace came to our mansion to announce the imperial edict, saying that the palace issued an order to change the title of the first-rank lady of the old lady’s first-rank maid back to the second-rank.
The old lady couldn’t stand it for a while, and was lying behind Jinglan Pavilion. The eldest lady ordered me to go to Yun Mansion to find my uncle. You will be fine now!”
Chu Nianhe frowned and listened to her, and said seriously, “Where has my father been? With such a big news, hasn’t my father heard the wind before?”
