Wuyao sized up Dongli Lucang for a while before looking away and asking with a smile, "Your Highness, why did you take a liking to my Zhizhi? Among all the noble ladies from prominent families in the capital, she is not the best choice, is she?"
"No, she is my best choice. Looking across the entire Great Zhou, there is no one better or more suitable for me than Zhizhi."
These were Lu Cang's true feelings, because in his eyes, Yunzhi was the best.
Wuyou was very pleased to hear this. In his eyes, Yunzhi was perfect in every way. But others might not think so, especially her husband, Lu Cang of Dongli.
On the surface, he was the regent, second only to the emperor.
But those in the know understand that he has long since become the de facto emperor. With just a word from him, the emperor could lose his life.
"Remember what you said today. If you dare to treat Zhizhi badly after we get married, I won't be so lenient with you."
"Master, rest assured, I swear I will never fail Zhizhi in this lifetime."
After some conversation, Dongli Lu Cang passed the test with Wu Yao. This relieved Dongli Lu Cang.
As the groom, Dongli Lu Cang had many things to attend to. Therefore, he stayed with Wuyou for a while before leaving.
As soon as he left, Yunzhi looked at Wuyao with a smile and asked, "Master, how did it go? Did he pass the test?"
"So-so." Wuyou glanced at Yunzhi and said, "Zhizhi, you can't be as foolish as before. If he treats you badly, then get a divorce. It's not a big deal."
"Master, I understand." Yunzhi nodded with a smile, staying by Wuyao's side, reluctant to leave.
In the end, she had no medicine and had to be asked to leave before she could go about her own business.
Meanwhile, people all over the capital began to stir. They learned of Yunzhi's relationship with Medicine King Valley and couldn't help but lament that they hadn't married Yunzhi sooner.
Yun Cheng was filled with regret, especially for severing ties with Yun Zhi. Otherwise, he could have established connections with Medicine King Valley and perhaps even used their influence to rise to a higher level in the future.
As for An Xiuyuan, he was filled with deep regret. It could be said that ever since Yunzhi divorced him, he had been living in constant remorse.
He had such a great help, yet he so easily let it slip away. Yunzhi was so wonderful, but he couldn't see it.
If only I had known sooner...
An Xiuyuan felt more and more regretful, and then started drinking again.
Seeing her son like this, Wang was filled with remorse. She knew she bore a great deal of responsibility for how her son had become.
However, it was too late for regrets now that things had changed. If Yunzhi and her son had just divorced, she might have had a chance if she had pleaded with her.
But now, even a fool wouldn't go back to an old flame. Besides, compared to the Regent, her son was nothing but rotten grass.
As for the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess, after learning that Medicine King Valley was behind Yunzhi, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
They had no idea that Yunzhi had such a background.
This also made them realize that they no longer needed to bring poisoning to Yunzhi's face and lose face.
However, it's absolutely impossible for Yunzhi to marry Lu Cang of Dongli smoothly. There's only one position available, and they will never give it up.
Even if it costs them blood and lives, they're willing to pay that price. Besides, they've already made arrangements; they're definitely going to take a gamble—what if they win?
While undercurrents were swirling in the capital, the border was also not very stable.
