Chapter 357 Iron Ore Map

Five days have passed since Li Yi returned to Beijing.

But except for Changting who asked Qiuluo to bring her a message before, Lu Wan had no news about him in the days that followed.

Lu Wan thought he was busy, but after asking Lu Chengyu, he knew that he had not been to Sansi in the past few days.

She wanted Qiuluo to go to Changting to ask again, but she remembered that he had said before that he would come to see her when he finished his work, so she couldn't let Qiuluo find him frequently so as not to disturb him.

However, that night, when Lu Wan was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, Qiu Luo came quietly.

"Qiuluo, but is there any news about Your Highness?"

When Lu Wan saw Qiuluo, he came to see her at this time. He thought that Li Yi had asked her to send the news, so he quickly got up from the bed.

Qiu Luo shook his head and said, "Miss, it's not your highness's business, it's the young master's business."

Lu Wan was stunned: "Ah Xi?"

But what will happen to Ah Xi?

He was not only learning riding from Nie Zhan every day, but also stayed at home. She saw him every day, and nothing happened?

But in a flash, Lu Wan realized, "Is that mother Qiu really has a problem?"

During this period, when Lu Wan went to the yard, he found that among the servants who were taking care of A Xi, there was a mother named Qiu, who seemed to care about A Xi very much.

Several times when Lu Wan went to Lu Xi's house, he saw that she and Lan Ying were taking care of A Xi.

Sometimes, when Lan Ying goes to work on other things, she is still standing by Ah Xi’s side, and she is always standing with her.

Lu Wan suspected that she was the person sent by her grandmother to monitor Ah Xi.

But later, she found that the woman's care for A Xi was not as concise as the servant who should be missed, but was very concerned. Sometimes, her care for A Xi was even more meticulous than Lan Ying.

For example, once, when Lu Wan saw her delivering meals to A Xi, she would touch every bottom of the bowl with her hands and hand it to A Xi.

Lu Wan spent his entire life in the palace and knew that this was the habit of a specially trained nanny in the palace serving his master.

Lu Wan observed her words and deeds again, and found that she was very disciplined when standing and speaking. Her ten nails were trimmed neatly, unlike other women, who either liked to store nails or had dirt on their nails. In the same servant clothes, others were wrinkled, but hers were ironed to fit the stickers.

At first glance, he was a formally trained old lady.

Of course, the nanny beside the eldest princess also understood these rules, but Lu Wan heard from Lan Ying that this mother Qiu had just been transferred to the upper yard for less than half a year and was completely a newcomer.

Lu Wan also remembered that on the first night she and A Xi returned home, when A Ximin had an attack, this mother Qiu was serving at the dinner table.

Such an obvious abnormality aroused Lu Wan's alertness.

So she asked Qiuluo to stare at Qiu's mother and test her.

Qiu Luo said, "That's right. During dinner today, I followed the girl's idea and specially put a plate of peanut butter on the young master's table, but she secretly took it away."

Lu Wan was stunned - Could this Qiu mother also know that Axi is allergic to peanuts?

"It's not only that. After the young master went to bed, the mother Qiu quietly left the upper yard and left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion through the back door..."

Lu Wan's heart was hanging high, and his expression became solemn: "She...has she... gone to Prince Chen's Mansion?!"

Qiu Luo was stunned: "How do you know about the girl?"

Lu Wan, who got the exact answer, suddenly shook his expression - could it be that the things were really the same as what she guessed?

In fact, since he learned that King Chen was also allergic to peanuts in the Chen Mansion that day, Lu Wan thought of Princess Chen's intimacy with her when she first met, as well as her inquiry about her search for her in words, and her grandmother's strange attitude towards Ah Xi, which made Lu Wan have some doubts about this matter.

So on the way home, she went to Dali Temple and wanted Zeng Shaobei to help check King Chen's background.

But the moment she got off the bus, she suddenly hesitated.

When she went to investigate King Chen, she was actually suspicious of Axi's life experience and her mother's innocence.

But she didn't believe it, nor did she want to admit that Ah Xi was her mother and other men

Human children.

My mother is a very pure and honest woman. If Ah Xi was really not a child of the Lu family, then my mother would have been forced back then.

My mother has been miserable enough for her life, so why is she still adding shackles to her?

Lu Wan couldn't imagine what her mother had experienced. She was afraid of knowing the truth and didn't want to know the truth.

So she chose to escape and left Dali Temple.

But now, the facts are in front of you again. Even if Lu Wan wants to escape, he has to face reality...

The next day, after Lu Wan came back from the upper courtyard, he secretly left the mansion and went to Dali Temple to find Zeng Shaobei.

When Zeng Shaobei saw her, he said happily: "What a coincidence, I was just asking Miss Lu for advice, but I didn't expect you to come."

Lu Wan laughed and said, "I'm here today, and I'm going to bother Mr. Zeng."

Zeng Shaobei asked her to sit down, served tea, and said, "Please tell me, girl."

Lu Wan took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Zeng, I know that there are archives of previous officials in Dali Temple, but I don't know if there are any of His Highness Chen?"

Zeng Shaobei was very surprised when he heard this, "What did Miss Lu look for King Chen's file?"

Lu Wan said: "I want to find out some things."

Zeng Shaobei shook his head: "The imperial heirs' apostle and book is related to royal secrets and will not be placed in Dali Temple."

Lu Wan thought about it and asked again, "Does Lord Zeng know that what major events happened in the royal family or Beijing or the city about 89 or 9 years ago? Is there any record of this Dali Temple?"

Zeng Shaobei has been in charge of Dali Temple for many years. He has long developed the ability to watch the fire when facing many cases every day.

So as soon as Lu Wan spoke, he roughly understood what she was going to investigate.

He thought about it for a while and said, "I remember that Concubine Shu died nine years ago."

Lu Wan: "What is the relationship between Concubine Shu and King Chen?"

Zeng Shaobei: "Concubine Shu is the adoptive mother of King Chen, and Concubine De of King Chen died early, so King Chen was raised by Concubine Shu."

Hearing this, Lu Wan could almost confirm the guess in his heart and couldn't help but feel cold all over.

She said in a daze: "Yes...but I heard that His Highness Chen has been staying in the fiefdom since he left the capital more than 20 years ago and has not returned to the capital. Could it be that when Concubine Shu died, he returned from the fiefdom?"

Zeng Shaobei Dao: "Concubine Shu died suddenly and is approaching the end of the year. In order to finish the funeral as soon as possible, the palace did not stop for too long, so His Majesty did not issue an order to summon King Chen to come back to attend the funeral."

Lu Wan smiled stiffly and said, "Well, so that's it."

Zeng Shaobei guessed that she came to Dali Temple to ask him about King Chen, and there must be a reason for it, but she didn't say it, and he didn't ask much.

Lu Wan said again: "Just just now, I have something to ask me, what's the matter?"

Zeng Shaobei said with a headache: "I lost the iron ore map. Your Highness ordered me to find it again, but there was no clue at all. I really had no clue."

"I heard from Your Highness that the girl found this iron ore map at first, so I would like to ask you if you can find any new clues?"
