Dongfang Yinzhang smiled calmly, put away the Bagua map in front of him and stuffed it into the carriage. He glanced at Fengweiqin and asked, "Have you made up your mind? Do you want to take action tonight?"
Gu Yunshu didn't want to delay any longer, she had to avenge her death!
"Although I have been reborn and Ayi is still alive and serving as the Emperor of Beiyi, this cannot erase the evil she committed back then. She was determined to kill us mother and son! She must pay for her actions!"
When Gu Yunshu recalled the scene of her dying in agony from heavy bleeding during childbirth, her body couldn't stop shaking.
Dongfang Yinzhang saw that she was in an unusual mood and hurriedly took her into his arms, only to find that her body was cold.
Dongfang Yinzhang felt extremely distressed and whispered to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, Rui'an. I will do whatever you want..."
Seeing that she was still shivering and cold, Dongfang Yinzhang quickly took off his clothes and put them on her, then hugged her tightly and continued to coax her: "Junior sister, you are still alive, Ayi is still alive, and now we have a lovely daughter. Zhaoren must be missing us now. After we get our revenge tonight, we will go back to accompany Zhaoren. Oh, and Xiaowu, when we go back, we will bring Zhaoren to the palace to see Xiaowu, okay?"
Gu Yunshu thought of her daughter and grandson, and the overwhelming hatred in her heart subsided. Her body stopped shaking and gradually warmed up.
"Okay." Gu Yunshu came out from Dongfang Yinzhang's arms and looked at him with burning eyes. "Then I will take action tonight. Brother, help me..."
"I'll hand you the knife!"
Gu Yunshu opened her eyes wide, then chuckled, "Brother, you guessed wrong this time."
Dongfang Yinzhang was relieved to see her smile, "Brother, did you guess wrong?"
"I guessed wrong. Just keep watch outside for me. Why would you need to use a knife to kill her?"
"Then how are you going to take her life?"
Gu Yunshu smiled and said, "You'll know at night."
Empress Dowager Du has been feeling uneasy ever since she met the young lady of the Bai family today.
I can't concentrate even when copying scriptures while sitting in the Zen room.
Shangguan Ruian’s face always appears in my mind.
Feng Yanzhi accompanied her for dinner and noticed that the Grand Empress Dowager seemed to have no appetite. He asked with concern, "Mother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we send someone back to the palace to have Yu'er come and see you tomorrow?"
"Mother is fine. It's just too hot and she has no appetite."
Feng Yanzhi glanced at the food on the table. They were all light, appetizing and healthy dishes, and they were all made according to Xiao Lingyu's medicinal recipes.
He ate with gusto. It was impossible for his mother to have no appetite. She must be worried about something.
Then he sent Li Haiying, Yun Gu and others to have dinner.
"Mother, are you worried about something? Or are you tired of living here and want to return to the palace?"
"Return to the palace? Shangguan Rui'an's ghost is still lingering, and the Queen Mother dare not go back."
Feng Yanzhi said: "Then the Queen Mother can live peacefully in Huangjue Temple. Shangguan Ruian doesn't dare to come."
Empress Dowager Du frowned and thought about the young woman. "Yanzhi, today, your mother saw a young woman in the bamboo forest and vegetable fields who looked very much like Shangguan Rui'an. You could say she looked exactly like her, but upon closer inspection, she didn't look like her at all. She looked like a complete stranger."
"Li Haiying."
Li Haiying hurried into the room upon hearing the sound, "The servant is here."
"Today I have asked you to investigate the mother and her two children who appeared in the bamboo forest and vegetable fields. Did you see the woman's appearance clearly?"
Li Haiying said, "That's the young lady of the Bai family, a merchant family. How would you describe her appearance? She has an oval face and willow-shaped eyebrows. She looks quite pretty."
Empress Dowager Du asked, "How does her appearance compare to Shangguan Rui'an?"
ah?
Li Haiying didn't know why the Empress Dowager asked this, so she answered truthfully, "Empress Fu'an is a beauty that can captivate the whole country. The young lady of the Bai family is only somewhat pretty, but she can't be called a great beauty."
"Mother, you must have seen it wrong. She has been dead for over twenty years. Even if there is someone who looks like her, it is not Shangguan Rui'an."
Feng Yanzhi thought that his mother must be afraid that Shangguan Ruian would appear in her dream again, and that was why she was not completely at ease.
"Perhaps it's because my mother is old and her eyesight is not good."
When Empress Dowager Du thought about this, her heavy heart relaxed and her appetite returned to normal.
Feng Yanzhi was worried, so he accompanied her to help her digest the food and then personally sent her back to her room.
He caught a glimpse of Xi Hanxiang on the bedside table, and thought of something. He quickly walked over, picked it up, opened it and took a look.
The scent of Xihanxiang is not as strong anymore, and I have already used up most of the bottle. It will be finished in a few days.
"Mother, I know what's going on. It must be that the Xihanxiang is almost gone and its efficacy is not as good anymore, which is why you're thinking of Shangguan Ruian again."
Empress Dowager Du took it and took a look. She didn't expect that she had used it up so quickly. The smell was indeed not as strong and pleasant as when the bottle was full.
"Yanzhi, what you said is very likely. Send someone back to the capital tomorrow and have Yu'er send someone to bring the new Xi Hanxiang over."
"Mother, please let Yu'er come along to check on you. Xiaowu hasn't seen him for a long time."
"You only think about Xiaowu and not Ajing?" Empress Dowager Du was immediately furious when she saw that he only had Xiaowu in his heart.
"Don't be angry, mother. I miss Ah Jing too. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to the Shengwang Mansion to have Wanyi, Ah Jing, Yu'er, and Xiaowu come to Huangjue Temple together early the next morning. Is that okay?"
Empress Dowager Du glared at him unhappily, then went to the cabinet under the dressing table and took out a purple box, handing it to Feng Yanzhi. "This is the peace and health talisman that I begged for the other day. The abbot has blessed it. I'll have it delivered to the Shengwang Palace for Yu'er tomorrow. I hope he can recover soon and give Ajing more brothers and sisters."
"Okay, mother." Feng Yanzhi took the box and turned to leave.
