Aunt Twenty, on the other hand, kept looking back at Sun Liu until she had completely entered the post station before she stopped looking back. There were also many members of the Guanzhou clan waiting in front of the post station. They greeted the old lady and entered the post station together.

After the people left, Sun Yun said to Zhao Shu, "You people from the Zhao family are quite uncouth."

"What's so particular about it?" Zhao Shu asked, puzzled.

"They're so polite. That old lady saw you just now and knew to give you, a junior, a gift, even if it's just a bracelet. She nodded and left. And those members of the royal family guarding the door... It's really annoying to find such snobbish people everywhere you go."

Zhao Shu suddenly realized that in the eyes of these members of the imperial clan, she was powerless and without influence. Since the Prince of Yong's mansion had no heir, she had no brothers to help her. Although she was currently favored by the Empress Dowager, no, the Empress Dowager was currently angry with her. In the eyes of others, she had probably already fallen out of favor.

She smiled and said, "It's better that no one is looking for me. Didn't you say you wanted me to take you out to play? Now that no one is bothering us, we can have free time to go and see the sights."

As the two were talking, a tall, slender woman with an oval face, fair skin, exquisite features, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, and exuding a cold aura walked towards them.

She walked up to Zhao Shu and handed her a note. Although Zhao Shu was curious, she did not take it. Xiao Guozi took it and handed it to her only after confirming that there was no problem.

Open the note; it reads, "If you want to know anything about your uncle, bring some shampoo in exchange."

Zhao Shu: ...

The Empress Dowager's carriage was ahead, and she had already entered the post station with the help of Zhang Chu, Ji Yun and others. Although many members of the imperial family had come to the post station, she did not receive them. After receiving Zhang Chu's instructions, Zhi Hai followed the Empress Dowager into the room.

After entering the room and settling down, Jiyun busied herself serving tea, while Hongxia and others massaged the Empress Dowager's shoulders. The others busied themselves changing the mattresses, water cups, teapots, and other items in the room.

Zhao Shu had no idea what Zhi Hai and the Empress Dowager had discussed, or what the Empress Dowager had instructed Zhi Hai on. Zhi Hai was not one of her people, and he was highly experienced, so it would not be easy to win him over. Therefore, she didn't bother to care.

She was already used to his sudden appearances and disappearances. What troubled her now was that she had run out of shampoo, and the last bit had been given to the Empress Dowager.

"May I ask who you are, sister?" Zhao Shu asked the woman in front of her.

The woman bowed and said, "This servant is from the Huo family. My young master said that the princess does not need to immediately offer anything in exchange. To show his sincerity, he asked me to inform the princess that he had just received a letter that Marquis Yiguang will be able to return to the capital soon. As for his hand, please rest assured, the imperial physician brought by the prince has already treated the marquis and saved his hand. However, the marquis will never be able to fight again."

Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her hand was still there, it didn't matter that she couldn't fight. Noble families who held military power would not have a good future. Moreover, the Marquis of Yiguang's mansion had already begun to decline and no longer had military power.
