Almost as soon as Pei Shu'er moved out, someone went to investigate that separate courtyard.
They found that it contained more portraits of Pei Shu'er and traces of sword practice, without any evidence of her having lived there.
Most of the investigators were, of course, Yan Hengyin's people.
He now refused to believe that Pei Shu'er was truly dead.
Later, he asked the Imperial Physician about the medicine; it caused some harm but was unlikely to be fatal.
Tang Zan's residence was also investigated several times.
But now Pei Shu'er mostly stayed in the space, and even when Tang Zan returned to his courtyard, Pei Shu'er would pull him into the space.
Everything was complete in the space, and the air was refreshing, making it unnecessary to stay outside.
At this time, Tang Zan went to Lin State because the things from Pei Shu'er's space were still in the house there.
It couldn't be left there; otherwise, unforeseen events might occur.
