Chapter 411 Who dares to trespass into our palace?
In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto the bed, and Shen Xia woke up slowly.
It felt like there was no residual warmth around me. Song Jin must have gone to the farm again.
I glanced at the time and found that I got up a little late.
She quickly got up, washed, and then had a hearty breakfast.
Just as she was about to go out, she met Qianyu who came to look for her.
Because they usually practice yoga in the morning.
Qianyu's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she asked softly, "Xia Xia, are you going out?"
Shen Xia smiled and replied: "Yes, Sister Qianyu, do you want to join us?"
Qianyu raised the corner of her mouth and nodded, saying: "Okay! It happens that I haven't been out for a long time."
Shen Xia asked with concern: "Sister, have you had breakfast?"
Qianyu smiled and replied: "I have already eaten."
Shen Xia said with confidence: "That's good."
After that, the two of them went to the front hall together.
When they arrived at the front hall, Gu Zizhan was already waiting there.
He was talking to the eldest princess, but his eyes were fixed on the door.
So when Shen Xia came, he saw him at a glance.
I'm just curious why there is such a tall woman behind.
Seeing Shen Xia coming, his eyes became particularly gentle, and he asked with concern: "Are you up? Have you had breakfast?"
Shen Xia nodded gently and replied, "I ate it. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Gu Zizhan smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.
In fact, in Shen Xia's eyes, this time is about right and not late at all.
It was around nine or ten o'clock.
But it seems that in this era people go to bed early and get up early.
She goes to bed late and gets up late.
The sleep time is the same.
Shen Xia looked at the eldest princess and said, "Mom, do you want to go out for an outing together?"
The princess looked at Shen Xia and shook her head, saying, "As an old woman, I will not join in the fun of your young people's activities."
Then he looked at Qianyu: "Qianyu, are you going out?"
Qianyu was just about to say: Yes.
Then the eldest princess said, "Yifan said last night that he wanted to learn the piano today. Is Qianyu free today?"
Qianyu glanced at Shen Xia.
Hey!
The plan failed!
Qianyu smiled and said, "I'm free."
"Well, let's go teach them how to practice the piano."
Qianyu nodded in agreement.
Shen Xia glanced at Qian Yu and said, "Then I'll take you out to play some other day."
Qianyu nodded: "Okay!"
Then Shen Xia and Gu Zizhan went out together.
They first came to the residence of Duke Pei.
When the two arrived at the door, Gu Zizhan and Shen Xia walked to the door together.
The gatekeeper naturally recognized Gu Zizhan, so he led them directly into the yard and went to report.
However, Shen Xia and Gu Zizhan did not wait for Gu Ziyan, but welcomed the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife looked at Gu Zizhan with a friendly expression and said, "Sanlang is here."
Then she turned her gaze to Shen Xia and asked, "Who is this?"
Shen Xia replied politely: "Hello, Madam, I am Gu Yuan."
When the Duke's wife heard the name, she couldn't remember who it was for a moment, but she felt it was very familiar.
It was not until the nanny next to her gently reminded her that she suddenly realized what was going on and responded politely, "It turned out to be Princess Anping! The princess must be very happy that you have returned safely."
"Yes, Zizhan and I made an appointment to go for an outing, and I planned to call my sister to go out with us." Shen Xia explained the purpose of the visit.
The Duke's wife looked at the two people in front of her who were as well-matched as a golden boy and a jade girl, and recalled the engagement they had made that year.
However, even if the Princess's Mansion and the Prince Rui's Mansion were married, they no longer had much power. The Princess's Mansion is no longer the same as it used to be.
However, Gu Ziyan still has something in reserve.
There's no need to overdo it. Just send these two away and I'll send the court doctor to take a look later.
Maybe it will be of some use in the future.
Although the Princess's Mansion is not as powerful as it used to be, Your Majesty has always respected it.
The Duke's wife showed a brief look of uneasiness on her face, her eyes flickering: "This is too unfortunate, Zi Yan is sick, I'm afraid she can't go out, but it's okay, wait for her to get better in a few days, I'll let her make an appointment with you."
Hearing this news, Gu Zizhan couldn't help but frown and asked worriedly: "Sister is sick? What's the disease? Is it serious?"
The Duke's wife quickly explained, "She's not sick, she just caught a cold. We were worried that her condition would get worse after she came out, so we let her rest in the yard."
However, Shen Xia smiled and expressed her willingness to help: "That's great, I know medical skills, I can go and help Sister Zi Yan, maybe I can help."
When the Duke's wife heard this, she immediately objected firmly, "That's not necessary. I've already asked the court doctor to check it out. I just need to take medicine for a few days and it will be fine."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if she's sick, my sister still wants to see us. Maybe she'll get better after seeing us!"
The Duke's wife was stunned: "Princess Anping, please don't worry about it. The doctor in our Duke's Mansion is quite good."
"Then let's take a look at Mo Yan!"
The Duke's wife was just about to say: Mo Yan is also sick.
Shen Xia said in advance: "Isn't Mo Yan sick too?"
When the Duke's wife heard this, she felt as if her throat was choked and she couldn't speak.
Then he smiled and said, "How could that be! Did Mo Yan go to study?"
Shen Xia smiled and said, "No! We went to Mo Yan College. The teacher said that Mo Yan didn't attend class?"
In fact, Shen Xia was just guessing.
Look at it like this.
Sister Gu must be in trouble.
If there was really something wrong, Mo Yan would definitely go to find his uncle, but he didn't.
This means he was locked up in the mansion.
The Duke's wife was annoyed: "Why? Our children have to report everything to you, Princess Anping."
Shen Xia frowned immediately and asked sharply, "That's not necessary. But after Sister Ziyan married into the Duke's Mansion, even siblings can't see each other? Or is there something wrong with Sister Ziyan that you guys at the Duke's Mansion want to hide from us?"
In fact, before this, Shen Xia had already heard some things about the Duke's Mansion from her sister.
In her opinion, such family relationships are complicated and even a little cold, so it is better not to have them.
Although divorces by marriage are rare in this era, they do exist. However, I have never heard of any family divorcing by marriage in this world.
The Duke's wife obviously did not expect the young Lord of Anping to speak so sharply, and she was speechless for a moment.
Gu Zizhan, on the other hand, frowned tightly and stared at the Duke's wife sharply, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.
The Duke's wife looked at a junior who dared to speak to her so rudely, and anger immediately appeared on her face: "Why? I was worried that you might be infected with good intentions, but you don't appreciate it."
Gu Zizhan looked at the Duke's wife with a firm gaze, not flinching: "I must see my sister today. If the Duke's wife insists on stopping me, then I will be guilty."
The Duke's wife responded without hesitation: "Today, without my permission, I don't see who dares to enter my Duke's mansion."
