He then took out the 50,000 taels of silver notes he had just received from Yunzhi and said, "I'm returning these silver notes to you as a dowry."
Yunzhi didn't take the silver note, but instead yelled at Yun Cheng, "Get out!"
Before she was betrothed, Yun Cheng's attitude was quite different. Now, it's too late for him to mend things.
Yun Cheng's expression was somewhat awkward, but he wasn't angry. He felt that Yun Zhi's status was different now, so it was only right for her to have a temper.
Yunzhi didn't care about all that. After chasing the people away, she directly instructed Rumei, "Rumei, have Ruzhu bring me the Regent's information later."
As the Dark Emperor, Yunzhi should theoretically know about the Regent's situation. However, she wasn't very clear about it. She only knew that he was originally a general on the northwestern border, but before the late emperor passed away, he was transferred back to the capital and became the Regent, second only to the emperor.
Everyone says that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty now belongs to the Regent. As for the Emperor, he is nothing more than a puppet.
Some even said that the regent would eventually replace the emperor.
Some say that the regent and the emperor were like father and son.
In short, there were all sorts of rumors. However, Yunzhi felt that she could not possibly have any interaction with the Regent, so after returning to the capital, she did not have anyone collect information about him.
In her past life, Yunzhi was a military doctor and had a special affection for soldiers. The Regent had joined the army at the age of thirteen and had been there for ten years. In those ten years, he had achieved numerous military exploits, deterring the northern countries from ever invading again.
Therefore, Yunzhi had her subordinates collect information on many people, but the Regent was conspicuously absent. In her view, someone who had guarded the country on the border for ten years without fail must be someone who cared deeply for the people.
There's no need to investigate such people too thoroughly.
But now that person is about to become her man, she has no choice but to investigate.
As soon as the Dark Tower made a move, Lu Cang of Dongli immediately received the news.
"Master, should I stop them?" An Yi looked at Dong Li Lu Cang, waiting for him to make a decision. In the past, whenever someone tried to investigate their master, they would be stopped.
But this time, things seem a little different. According to the clues, the other party is likely working for the princess.
"No need!" Dong Li Lu Cang waved his hand. Since the two were going to become husband and wife, he no longer needed to hide his affairs from her.
Of course, he would much rather Yunzhi come and ask him in person. But he also knew that was impossible for the time being.
Well, he'll see her in person once he's finished with his work. Although he had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye that night, he still owes her a thank you and an explanation.
Dongli Lu Cang suppressed his urge to see Yun Zhi and focused on handling official business. He had assumed his position and was obligated to fulfill its responsibilities.
As for the emperor and empress dowager's precautions, and the ministers' opinions, none of that mattered to him. What mattered was national peace and prosperity, and the people living in peace and contentment.
As long as the country is doing well and the people are doing well, what does it matter what outsiders think?
Ru Zhu was quite efficient; she arrived to see Yun Zhi an hour later. After handing Yun Zhi the information about the Regent, she didn't leave immediately but instead looked at Yun Zhi as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Yunzhi looked at the other person with some confusion, thinking that they had encountered some problem.
Unexpectedly, Ruzhu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Miss, Marquis Dingyuan is going to remarry."
