Chapter 1,047: Careful Preparation, Where Did Things Happen?

"Princess, look at the prince's flying pigeon delivering the letter!" Qing'er hurriedly brought a letter to Shao Wanru.

Chu Liuchen's letters before were all sent from the inn, and they were even sent with the letter sent to the Queen Mother. Compared with the thick letter from the Queen Mother, Shao Wanru's letter was basically a bit thinner. But even if it's a little thin, it's basically as thick as several sheets of paper.

At this time, there is only one piece of paper. After opening it, there are only a few words on it.

"Princess Yutao will marry me. It's a rumor. Be careful and safe!"

These few words were written with a bright red cinnabar pen. The writing was powerful and powerful. The words penetrated the back of the paper, and the back of the paper was faintly blood red, giving off a heart-stopping feeling.

Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat. She touched her head and closed her eyes slightly. The big red words gave her a strange sense of dissonance.

Inexplicably, it reminds her of the remaining memories of her previous life, the bloody palace in her memory, so many dead palace maids and show ladies...

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Qing'er asked hurriedly when she saw Shao Wanru's condition.

"I'm fine!" Shao Wanru shook his head, forced his eyes open, folded the paper in his hand, and then took a deep breath.

"We don't leave the house recently, everything is handled in the house." Shao Wanru ordered, "Strengthen security everywhere. If anything goes wrong, report it immediately."

"Yes, I know this. Do you want to inform the palace?" Qing'er agreed and then asked.

Now that the princess's safety rests on her, Qing'er is a little worried.

"There's no need to tell the palace. It's important that we remain unchanged and adapt to the changing circumstances." Shao Wanru shook her head. The situation in the palace was unknown. She couldn't see through it at the moment, so it was better to stay in her own house.

Chu Liuchen used a flying pigeon to send these words, so he naturally asked himself to be particularly careful. This showed that someone was really interested in him.

She always believed in Chu Liuchen's words!

Chu Liuchen said in his previous letter that the matter of Princess Yutao had been dealt with. Now Fei Ge sent a letter with simple but clear content.

Some people want Princess Yutao to marry Chu Liuchen, and he is the only one standing in the way. Only if he dies can he make way for Princess Yutao. Thinking about it this way, he is really in danger here.

"Princess, the prince said before he left that if something really happens here and we can't stop it, let you go into the palace to find Concubine Lan and let Concubine Lan protect you!" Qing'er suggested.

"Concubine Lan?" Shao Wanru frowned slightly. She not only heard about Concubine Lan, she had also seen her before. But after asking around, almost no one had seen this Concubine Lan. It was said that those who had seen her were already old. It's unbearable that things happened so long ago. I only said that Concubine Lan was very beautiful, but I couldn't tell the details clearly.

When she told Chu Liuchen about Concubine Lan before, Chu Liuchen's expression didn't look good, but now he allowed himself to be protected by Concubine Lan?

"I'll leave the security of the house to you. Go and take care of it. Invite Aunt Zheng!" Shao Wanru said. Since Concubine Lan was mentioned, and Concubine Lan had indeed sent someone here before, this matter still needs to be asked. Grandma Zheng.

Qing'er stepped back, and a moment later Grandma Zheng came in. After bowing to Shao Wanru, she stepped aside.

"Mother Zheng, please sit down!" Shao Wanru said politely.

After Mother Zheng thanked her, she sat on the round stool to the right of Shao Wan and looked at Shao Wanru with a smile.

"Mammy, can you tell me whether Concubine Lan is reliable?" Shao Wanru looked at Grandma Zheng with a serious face and said bluntly.

"Don't worry, Princess. Concubine Lan is trustworthy to you. She can't have any bad intentions towards you or His Highness Prince Chen." Aunt Zheng said without hesitation, her tone was straightforward and without any delay.

"Wouldn't she do it for other people?" Shao Wanru asked in another way.

"I will not put Your Highness and you in danger for the sake of others, Concubine Lan... I have always been indebted to His Highness, and I have always wanted to be good to His Highness, but Your Highness has always refused..." Aunt Zheng said, being vague at the key points. .

Shao Wanru took a deep look at Aunt Zheng and had no intention of asking any more questions. She would check some things that Chu Liuchen wanted her to know, but she would not check if she didn't want her to know.

In her eyes, Aunt Zheng's performance just now made her realize that Concubine Lan must be sincerely good for Chu Liuchen, and Chu Liuchen also said the same, which meant that Chu Liuchen also felt that Concubine Lan was reliable. , then when the critical moment comes, he can borrow some help from Concubine Lan.

Of course, it's best to do this on your own. Shao Wanru didn't want to use Concubine Lan's power until the final moment.

"Princess, Concubine Lan means that if the princess is in danger, she can protect you, and even the queen can't do anything to her!" Aunt Zheng was afraid that Shao Wanru would not be sure, so she lowered her voice.

Shao Wanru's eyes lit up, his thick eyelashes raised, and he was horrified. What kind of confidence did this Concubine Lan dare to say such a thing?

The master of the harem is the empress. Concubine Lan has seen this herself. She is definitely a smart person. It is impossible to say such arrogant things. Does that mean it is true?

But why is it like this? Did I misunderstand something?

"Can I contact Concubine Lan?" Shao Wanru calmed down and asked slowly. Now was not the time to find out why Concubine Lan dared to say that.

"Princess, don't worry, I can do it. Concubine Rilan also sent someone to the princess after detecting the abnormality that day." Aunt Zheng nodded, affirming.

"Okay, then let's just wait and see how things change!" Shao Wanru said coldly, feeling confident, and the corners of his bright red lips slightly raised, revealing a hint of coldness.

Wealth and wealth are found in danger. At this time, the government and the public are paying attention to the affairs of Princess Jade Tao of Ao Kingdom. However, you can do some things you want to do carefully and respond early.

The Queen Mother's birthday was just around the corner, and this was an even more critical time. After waving Aunt Zheng to step aside, Shao Wanru sat alone in the room and thought for a while before asking someone to call Aunt Yu over.

Aunt Yu is now the steward of the inner courtyard, and the outside affairs are handled by the steward. Both the steward and the steward of the outer courtyard are Chu Liuchen's people. Even if Chu Liuchen is not here, things are arranged safely, Shao Wanru She didn't interfere in the affairs of the outer courtyard. Since Chu Liuchen was worried about the people in the outer courtyard, her intervention actually made them confused.

Aunt Jade didn't come quickly. She had many things to do, so the maid couldn't find her for a while, but later she found her from the kitchen.

After hearing that Shao Wanru was looking for her, Aunt Yu ran over panting and sweating profusely.

"Don't worry, Grandma, it's nothing big, I just want to ask about some small matters." Shao Wanru smiled and asked Yu Jie to pour tea for Grandma Yu.

Grandma sat down and drank a cup of tea before she recovered. She stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said with a wry smile: "I'm getting older now. I wonder how I could have been so careless in the first place."

"Mommy is not very old. If I hadn't been here at the right time, I wouldn't have been so comfortable." Shao Wanru said with a smile.

Qu Le brought a basin of warm water and asked Aunt Yu to clean her face before she sat down again.

"Aunt Yu was in the kitchen just now, but what happened?" After Aunt Yu sat down again, Shao Wanru asked with a smile.

Aunt Jade is in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard, but she does not necessarily have to do everything herself. She has many managers, big and small, and Shao Wanru has always asked her to instruct her servants to do it.

Everything in the backyard of Prince Chen's Mansion is in order. The inner courtyard is now under the control of Shao Wanru. Basically, he calls a few stewards to ask questions every day. Aunt Yu is helping with other things. In total, she is Aunt Yu. Grandma is in charge of all personnel affairs, and the little stewards go to Grandma Yu to deal with anything they have to do.

"There is indeed something wrong, but it's not serious. There was something wrong with the dishes that were delivered before. I went to take a look. The kitchen is a little far away from here. That's why I came here late!" Aunt Yu said angrily.

"What's going on?" Shao Wanru asked leisurely.

"Actually, it's really not a big deal. One of the people who helped deliver food to the house before was sick and asked others to deliver it. But this new person is not very knowledgeable. Although the quantity delivered is correct, but The quality of this dish is obviously not good, so the kitchen steward asked me to go over and have a look."

Aunt Yu said.

"Can't we just push the bad dishes away?" Shao Wanru was surprised. This matter is indeed not a big deal. Can't we just return the bad dishes and send them again?

"This matter... I'm afraid it won't work..." Aunt Yu said in embarrassment.

"Why not? Is there something wrong here?" Shao Wanru's pink face showed a hint of surprise. She didn't think this kind of thing was possible.

"I heard that this food delivery person has something to do with the butler. He comes to deliver food in the name of the butler. If he is pushed, it will be the face of the butler. The servants in the kitchen don't dare to do it. In fact... old man I don’t even dare!” Aunt Yu sighed and said helplessly.

She was the princess's dowry, but she was the prince's confidant, and all matters inside and outside the palace were handled by the housekeeper.

Speaking of this big steward, Aunt Yu actually felt convinced in her heart. He looked like a man with a plan. She felt that compared to herself, the big steward was obviously several levels higher. It's not something she can compare to. If it weren't for the princess behind her, Aunt Yu would feel very flustered every time she saw this great housekeeper.

"Why is the food bad?" Shao Wanru asked after pondering for a moment.

"There are a lot of rotten leaves on the outside of the Chinese cabbage. Some of the cabbage looks a bit stale. As for the meat, most of it is fat. It doesn't look like good meat at first glance. There are also some potatoes and the like. They look big. They are much smaller." Aunt Yu thought for a while and gave an example.

"How did Grandma handle it?" Shao Wanru asked, blinking his long eyelashes.

"The old slave went to ask the big housekeeper in front of him about this matter. The big housekeeper said that the old slave would make the decision on this matter. The old slave really didn't dare to make the decision for a while. He originally wanted to come to the princess to talk about it. It happened that the princess came to the old slave. Come here in a hurry!" Aunt Yu said with a bitter smile.
