and Situ Jing spent this Lantern Festival happy.

After the Spring Lantern Festival, all of Gu Shiyi's thoughts were focused on the Pharmacy Room, and Sun Jinxing was about to return. Right now, she only wanted to heal Situ Jing's legs first, then think about other things.

Only, just as Gu Shiyi had locked him in the Pharmacy Room, Lv Zhu came to report that someone from the Prime Minister's Estate had arrived.

Gu Shiyi knew that ever since she married into the Prince Su Palace, Gu Minghong had never sent anyone over, and she did not casually return to the Prime Minister's Hall until the new year. Now that the Prime Minister's Hall had suddenly sent people over, something must have happened, Gu Shiyi did not hesitate, and did not even ask who the person was, he immediately changed her clothes and went to meet the person.

"Empress Princess, you're finally here!"

When Zhao mama saw Gu Shiyi appear at the door, before Gu Shiyi could even sit properly, she had already knelt in front of him.

Gu Shiyi frowned. If she remembered correctly, this Zhao mama should be one of Sun Rumei's mama from the past.

"Zhao mama, let's talk properly!"

Gu Shiyi looked extremely dignified. Zhao mama was so frightened that she immediately retracted her hand that was about to grab her skirt.

"Empress wangfei, the old master invites you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Zhao mama pursed her lips, finally mustering up the courage to speak.

Gu Shiyi, on the other hand, had a face full of doubt. Why did Gu Minghong invite her back, and make the person beside Sun Rumei invite her to come?

"Empress, if you don't go back soon, something big will happen!"

When Zhao mama saw Gu Shiyi's congealed face and remained silent, she could not help but become anxious. She immediately went forward and grabbed Gu Shiyi's skirt to urge her on.

When Gu Shiyi saw this, she frowned. By her side, Lu Qing pulled the distance between her and the mama with a glance.

"Let's go then!"

Although she felt that there was something fishy, Gu Shiyi still decided to return and see what it was. Maybe it was really Gu Minghong who was looking for her?

"Empress Wangfei, this way please!"

After Gu Shiyi returned to the General's Estate, she was immediately brought to the depths of the backyard by Zhao mama.

"Zhao mama, where are you taking this wangfei?"

Gu Shiyi's voice was full of sternness, but she was not afraid. With Lv Zhu and the other three following them, coupled with the protection of Bai San and the others, she still had nothing to worry about.

Only, she was a little curious about who had sent Zhao mama over to use Gu Minghong's name to trick her into going back to the clan.

"Don't worry, Royal Concubine Empress. We'll be arriving soon."

After she finished speaking, Gu Shiyi turned around and a abandoned courtyard with the name of Qing Leng Courtyard appeared in front of him.

When did the Prime Minister's Estate have such a residence? How come she didn't have any impression of it?

"Royal Concubine Empress, come in quickly."

Zhao mama stood at the courtyard entrance, looking at Gu Shiyi as she urged him on anxiously.

It didn't matter. She would know whether he was a human or a ghost. However, how many things was there in this Prime Minister's Mansion that she didn't know?

After Gu Shiyi entered the courtyard, he realized that the courtyard was exactly like its name.

Even the plants in the courtyard withered.

Just as Gu Shiyi stood at the entrance of the main house, the room opened up. A woman around thirty years old with a sallow face, turbid eyes, and skinny body appeared in front of Gu Shiyi.

When he looked more closely, he found that this woman had a sense of familiarity. It was as if he had seen her there before.

"Third sister!"

The woman screamed excitedly when she saw Gu Shiyi, scaring Gu Shiyi to the point that she couldn't help but take a step back. Lv Zhu also stood right between Gu Shiyi and the woman, stopping her from pulling Gu Shiyi's clothes.

Gu Shiyi's face was filled with disbelief, she never thought that Gu Moxue would change into such a state after just two months, and also, why was she in the Clear Cold Courtyard?

Gu Shiyi waved her hands at Lv Zhu, signalling for her to leave, then directly walked into Gu Moxue's room.

Upon entering the room, Gu Shiyi felt a musty smell assail her nose, making her feel uncomfortable.

The furnishings of the entire room were also very simple and crude, but it was much better than the one Gu Shiyi lived in back then.

"Third sister, please save me, please save me!"

The moment Gu Shiyi entered the room, she immediately knelt in front of Gu Shiyi and tugged on her skirt without letting go.

"Big Sis, let's talk properly. Get up!"

Gu Shiyi's brows twitched, it was definitely not a good thing for Gu Moxue to say something like this right after meeting him.

"If third sister doesn't agree, big sister will kneel down and not rise!"

Gu Moxue had an expression of complete despair, but this further strengthened her previous thoughts.

"Big Sis, it doesn't matter if you don't get up. It's just a skirt!"

Gu Shiyi straightened her back, looked straight ahead, and had a stern expression. Her meaning was, if Gu Moxue wanted to kneel, then just kneel, she could easily tear off her skirt and leave.

"Third sister, how can you be so heartless?"

Gu Moxue immediately understood what Gu Shiyi meant and hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding onto Gu Shiyi's skirt. With the support of Zhao mama, he stood up, but looked at Gu Shiyi with a face that was about to cry.

"Eldest young mistress, I don't want to repeat myself. If we're going to be ruthless, how can this wangfei compare to you?!"

Gu Moxue's expression made Gu Shiyi extremely disgusted. Since he wanted to beg her to do something, why couldn't he adopt a proper attitude and act as if she owed her?

"Third sister, I have already humbly spoken to you about that matter!"

Gu Moxue bit her lips, her face filled with distress, she did not expect Gu Shiyi to be so overbearing, to actually remember what happened back then.

"Big sister, I don't have much time, so I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"

Gu Shiyi found a chair to sit on and had an impatient face. If it was her previous personality, she would have already left immediately with her sleeves flapped. There was no need to be impatient with Gu Moxue.

"Third sister, elder sister has something to ask of you."

After circling around for a long time, Gu Moxue finally started to get to the main point. She actually felt it too, that if she used up all of Gu Shiyi's patience, Gu Shiyi would probably be gone before she could even start talking.

It wasn't easy for her to beg Zhao mama for help. It was with great benefits that she managed to persuade her to go and trick Gu Shiyi over, so how could she just let her leave like that?

"Speak."

Gu Shiyi's face was cold, her voice revealed a sense of coldness, causing Gu Moxue to feel that begging Gu Shiyi was a wise decision.

"Third sister, can you think of a way for me to meet the crown prince?"

After Gu Moxue said this, her face was filled with grief. Ever since she knew that the crown prince had returned, she had been trying to think of a way to see him.
