The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 196 Deep Palace

During the conversation, Tang Peipei discovered that Concubine Shu must have missed the days before she entered the palace, because she asked a lot about what the capital city looks like now. When talking about her favorite jewelry shop in the past, she would excitedly tell Tang Peipei what the shop looked like when she first discovered it.

When she talked about a pastry shop she liked which had now closed down, there was disappointment in her eyes.

Tang Peipei saw the disappointment in her eyes and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She said, "However, there is a pastry shop called Fengji in the city now. The pastries there look good and taste delicious. Next time I enter the palace, I will bring some to you for you to try."

Concubine Shu felt a little lost, as if the pastry shop was closed and her heart was closed too.

Back then, she was also a lively and cheerful person, with a clear distinction between love and hate. However, once she entered the palace, she discovered that this place that all the women in the world envied and scrambled to enter was actually a huge birdcage that trapped her and all the women who entered.

They have nothing to do every day but to compete for favor to demonstrate their own value.

Later, they gradually began to be afraid to express their true inner thoughts too much, for fear that they would be caught by accident and die without a burial place.

Later, they learned how to fake smiles to the point where they looked real enough that even they themselves couldn't tell whether their smiles were real or not.

Later, they were blinded by power, lost themselves, and their hands were covered in blood.

They have no friends, no one to whom they can talk their true feelings, and all that is left is loneliness.

Concubine Shu looked at the person who comforted her and saw that she was smiling. She could tell that the smile was sincere.

She also laughed.

"Okay." Concubine Shu replied.

The nanny standing next to them was stunned.

She was a house-born girl from the Shu family. After she entered the palace with Concubine Shu, she followed Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu used to treat people sincerely, but one time, a close friend of Concubine Shu put medicine in the food sent to Concubine Shu under the pretext of visiting her. When Concubine Shu found out, she let the other person off because of their previous friendship, and drove the person out of the palace. After that, she never ate any food brought into the palace by anyone again.

Unexpectedly, today, Madam Mu said she would bring her food, and she agreed immediately.

But when he looked at Tang Peipei again, he saw that she was smiling like a flower, with a sincere smile, and her face no longer had the expression that showed no thoughts when she first entered the hall.

Perhaps, this Mrs. Mu is different.

This Madam Mu seemed a bit cold and distant. She always answered questions based on the answers and never said much.

But you can tell that once you get to know him more, she feels relieved and he is a warm and enthusiastic person.

"Peipei, can I call you that?" Concubine Shu felt that she really liked talking to Tang Peipei and felt very comfortable.

Tang Peipei nodded, "Of course."

Hearing Tang Peipei's agreement, Concubine Shu was even happier. She pulled Tang Peipei to talk and didn't want to let her leave.

From Tang Peipei, she learned a lot of news from the outside world, and a rough picture of the current situation in the capital city emerged in her mind.

She hadn't felt this comfortable for a long time.

It seems like she is still waiting to be married, and she can still sneak out of the house to buy delicious cakes and watch interesting acrobatics.

However, Tang Peipei was worried that Mu Jintang would get anxious after not seeing her for a long time, so even though she could see that Concubine Shu was reluctant to let her go, she still insisted on going back.

Concubine Shu escorted the person to the palace gate and asked someone to personally escort Tang Peipei out of the palace.

The nanny looked at Tang Peipei's receding figure and helped Concubine Shu walk into the palace.

"Does your Majesty really like Madam Mu?"

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Go find the guard I asked to deliver the letter to the Fifth Prince."

The nanny looked at Concubine Shu deeply, then lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

Concubine Shu waved her hand.

The nanny let go of Concubine Shu's hand, bowed, and retreated.

After the nanny left, Concubine Shu walked to the main seat and sat down. She looked at the seat where Tang Peipei had just sat and became dazed.

Tang Peipei politely thanked the palace maid who sent her out.

Got on his own carriage.

However, she did not go back home directly, but asked the driver to take a detour to the shop.

She checked the account for a while, looked up, and saw the person she was waiting for had arrived. She smiled and led the person to the backyard.

"Why did you ask me to come here today?" Ye Yunshu took the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and poured another cup for Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei took a sip of tea and said, "I came here to ask you if you know Concubine Shu?"

Ye Yunshu shook his head. "I went to the countryside when I was very young, and didn't return to the capital until I met you. Many people in the capital don't know much about me. However, I heard from my mother that Concubine Shu entered the palace at the age of sixteen and has been favored by all the six harems. She is still favored today. The only pitiful thing is that she has no children until now."

Tang Peipei nodded. She knew all this and it was not a secret.

Listen to Ye Yunshu continue: "I think she must be very smart. The palace is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. She has been favored for so many years. She must have some tricks."

Then he looked at Tang Peipei and asked curiously, "Did you come to me today specifically to ask about her?"

Tang Peipei nodded, then shook her head, and repeated to Ye Yunshu what Concubine Shu had revealed when she entered the palace today.

Ye Yunshu was very surprised.

"You said she passed a letter to His Highness? But I have never heard His Highness mention this."

Tang Peipei had a vague guess in her mind that it seemed that this Imperial Concubine Shu was indeed quite wise.

"Go back and ask His Highness if this is true. If not~~" Tang Peipei's expression suddenly changed.

Ye Yunshu, who was standing next to her, was startled by her sudden change and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Peipei was not sure whether her suspicion was correct. If it was, that would not do. She had to quickly discuss countermeasures with Jintang and the Fifth Prince.

Having said that, she did not bother to explain properly to Ye Yunshu. She directly pulled him into the horse in the backyard and asked someone to go ahead and tell Mu Jintang to ask the Fifth Prince to come to the General's Mansion quietly, as she had something important to say.

God, why didn't she think of it just now?

He also had the leisure to deal with Concubine Shu in her palace.

If they were a step late, they wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of looking for evidence, and would have been wiped out and buried forever.

Tang Peipei felt like she was about to cry because of her own stupidity. She had no sense of danger today.

The same thing happened to Concubine Shu. If she hadn't made things clear earlier, she would have wasted a lot of time because of all the roundabout ways.

However, this was Tang Peipei wrongly accusing Concubine Shu.

She just didn't think about it that way at first.

When she thought of it, Tang Peipei was present, and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she endured it and did nothing.

It was not until Tang Peipei left that she asked the nanny to confirm.
