Wei Shuxuan took off her thick coat and gave it to Rong'er. "Quickly put it on your mistress, and then hurry up and leave!"
Then she looked over at Concubine Wan's side. It was in complete chaos there. All the maids had rushed forward and used their bodies to shield Concubine Wan.
"If you servants don't hurry up and protect my face! If my face gets ruined, I'll give you the most horrible punishment and make your lives a living hell!" That Concubine Wan really knew how to say unlikable things. Wei Shuxuan actually really didn't want to rescue her, but if she didn't, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble, so she had to.
"Hey, you all quickly take your mistress away! I'll handle the aftermath here!" Wei Shuxuan roared at the maids.
Then she took off the thick clothes on her body and quickly waved them, trying to drive away those annoying wasps. "Why aren't you leaving yet? I'm about to lose my strength!"
The maids were stunned for a moment before they supported their mistress, Concubine Wan, and left the Star - Picking Garden.
Seeing that they had finally left, Wei Shuxuan used her lightness kung fu to fly out of the Star - Picking Garden. Of course, she ran as fast as she could. Otherwise, those hateful wasps would surely catch up with her. Fortunately, she knew the way and directly returned to the Wind - Harmony Hall.
When she returned to the Wind - Harmony Hall, those wasps finally stopped following her. She couldn't help but collapse on the ground. "My goodness, these wasps are really fierce. I've never seen such fierce wasps in modern times!"
"Hey, Young Master Wei, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting on the ground?" Eunuch Li, who was walking by with a vase in his arms, saw Wei Shuxuan sitting on the ground looking extremely tired. He asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. You go ahead and do your work. I'll get up later. Don't worry about me."
"Alright, then I'll go back to my work first."
Wei Shuxuan didn't expect that using lightness kung fu for a long time would be so tiring. Although she had undergone arduous training in modern times, she had slacked off a bit during her time here. Moreover, the original body had a foundation in martial arts, but since she rarely used it, using it for such a long time all at once made it a bit hard for her to adapt.
After resting for a while, Wei Shuxuan got up and went to the main hall to have a cup of tea and quietly organize the information she had just obtained.
"Young Master Wei, would you like to have some plum cakes? The kitchen just made some for tonight's refreshments."
Eunuch Li brought a plate of plum cakes and placed it on the table. Wei Shuxuan nodded. "Sure, thank you, Eunuch Li. If I eat them now, won't there be no refreshments for tonight?"
"It's okay. I'll ask the kitchen to make another plate." Eunuch Li bowed slightly. "Please enjoy your refreshments, Young Master Wei. I'll take my leave first."
"Okay."
Judging from the situation just now, Noble Lady Hua didn't seem like the kind of person who would instigate others to kill at all. On the contrary, Concubine Wan was very likely to do such a thing. However... sometimes what you see is not necessarily the truth.
Although Noble Lady Hua seemed calm on the surface, maybe it was just an act. That Concubine Wan was clearly a jealous and petty person, so it was very possible that she was doing something underhand. But just because her emotions were so easily shown on her face, Wei Shuxuan didn't think it was her.
"We still need to keep a close eye on Noble Lady Hua. It's better not to get close to Concubine Wan casually. Getting entangled with this woman will surely be very troublesome. So, who should I investigate next?"
Just as Wei Shuxuan was feeling troubled, she heard Ge Zian's voice behind her. "What's wrong? Still troubled?"
"Zian!" Wei Shuxuan turned around happily. "Didn't you say you'd come to the Wind - Harmony Hall today? Why did you only come in the afternoon?"
"There was something going on in the military camp. I had to go back and handle it, so I've just come to find you. Did you go out for investigation?" Ge Zian sat down beside Wei Shuxuan. Wei Shuxuan picked up a plum cake and pushed the plate in front of Ge Zian, asking him to have some too.
"Of course I went for investigation. Take a look at this drawing. I got this information from Eunuch Li and recorded it." Wei Shuxuan showed the paper spread out on the table to Ge Zian. "I've already investigated these two people. I need to keep an eye on this one. The other one seems like the kind of person who would play tricks, but I don't think she'd dare to do something like murder."
"So you're not going to keep an eye on this person anymore?"
"No, I want to investigate a few more people and collect more information to help me analyze."
"Then be careful. Concubine Wan is no good person. Be careful of her revenge."
Ge Zian reminded Wei Shuxuan. She ate another piece of the cake, and her cheeks puffed up. "I know. You're so wordy. You're even more wordy than my mother..."
"By the way, why haven't I seen Prince Wu?" Ge Zian was still wondering why he hadn't seen Xin Zizhao when he came in.
"Ah, he was summoned by His Majesty. I don't know what it's about. He left after lunch. I'm also wondering why he hasn't come back yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure appeared in the main hall. It was Xin Zizhao they had just been talking about. Xin Zizhao flew back using his lightness kung fu. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Wei Shuxuan and Ge Zian chatting and laughing. He couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. What was wrong with this Ge Zian? Why was he always following that person around? And that person even went out to find Ge Zian. He was really annoyed.
"Why are you here again?" Xin Zizhao looked at Ge Zian, with obvious annoyance on his cold and handsome face.
"Your Highness, I'm Young Master Wei's assistant. Naturally, I have to come and help with the investigation."
How could Ge Zian not see Xin Zizhao's dissatisfaction? But if he had to choose between protecting Wei Shuxuan and being disliked by Prince Wu, of course he would choose to protect Wei Shuxuan first.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit off, Wei Shuxuan quickly spoke up to change the subject. "Xin Zizhao, what did His Majesty summon you for? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
"It's nothing. I'm going back to rest now."
After saying that, Xin Zizhao left the main hall. After he left, Ge Zian couldn't help but ask Wei Shuxuan, "What's wrong with Prince Wu? He seems really angry."
"Well... maybe it's because he didn't take his afternoon nap. He used to have the habit of taking an afternoon nap, and he doesn't like to be disturbed during that time. Alright, let's not worry about him. This moody ice - faced guy."
In the evening, Ge Zian finally left the Wind - Harmony Hall and returned to the Ge Mansion.
