Chapter 418
Jiang Mingwei was not surprised to hear that. This winter was rather worrying and the matter of the disaster victims in the capital had not been settled yet. Since ancient times, the palace had always attached importance to spirits and Gods. It was not difficult to understand that the Emperor wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of bad luck.
Jiang Mingwei nodded and said, “I have taken note of that. Apart from New Year’s Eve and the actual day itself, is there anything else I should pay attention to?”
Xie Xuanji was now the Emperor’s most important son. At this kind of big banquet, Jiang Mingwei would be the focus of attention, so of course she couldn’t afford to be careless.
Xie Xuanji paused for a while and said cryptically, “Recently, it seems that I haven’t seen my Second Brother for a long time.”
Jiang Mingwei frowned involuntarily when she heard this. What a coincidence for her to just mention the couple next door, but why did Xie Xuanji also ask about them?
Jiang Mingwei didn’t know if it was a coincidence or if Xie Xuanji was trying to hint it on purpose, so she didn’t answer for a while. On the contrary, Wan Yanduo heard it and responded, “That’s right, Prince An and Princess An haven’t come out to do any activities for a long time. I don’t know if everything is fine with them, but anyone living outside the palace heard nothing from them, so it’s pretty worrying.”
Xie Xuanji glanced at Yan Duo appreciatively before he nodded and said, “That’s right, I also have the same thoughts. The Emperor specifically told me to greet my Second Brother and pay more attention to his condition. I haven’t seen my brother come out of his house for a long time now and I feel uneasy, so why don’t we take advantage of the New Year’s Eve to go and have a look? In case Second Brother has anything he needs help with, we can aid him.”
Only then did Jiang Mingwei realise that the Emperor suspected that Xie Xuanchen’s informant had been buried in Prince An’s Mansion, cutting off his knowledge of what occurred in the Yulin Palace. Therefore, he wanted Xie Xuanji to go and find out the truth. Jiang Mingwei glanced at Wan Yanduo covertly and unhappily and said with generosity befitting the royal family, “What the Prince said is very true. I haven’t seen my sister-in-law for a while and I miss her very much. It’s better to do so quickly than to choose a date for it. Today, I will pay my sister-in-law an early New Year’s greeting.”
At this moment in the Yulin Palace, Mu Mingtang had just woken up.
She rubbed her waist and really didn’t even have the strength to get up. Xie Xuanchen had been eager to feed his pleasure and became increasingly unrestrained to the point where Mu Mingtang passed out from exhaustion every time. When she woke up the next day, her waist and legs were sore.
Xie Xuanchen was especially excessive yesterday. When Mu Mingtang woke up, she couldn’t use her waist at all. Xie Xuanchen said he was rubbing it for her and she was powerless to resist, so she just let him do so and only decided to get up at this hour.
Mu Mingtang leaned in front of the dressing table and tied her hair, covering her mouth and yawning while doing her makeup. The servants saw the misty eyes of the Princess as they all blushed and dared not look any more.
