Chapter 408 I’m Afraid He’ll Be Angry to Death
"Search if you want. I don't have anything with me, so I'm not afraid of being searched. Searching can also prove my queen's innocence. If the princess gets sick in the future, you can't throw dirty water on my queen."
The little girl raised her eyebrows as she looked at the palace maid who came in after searching her body, and took out a pill from somewhere and handed it to Guo Lu.
"Bubu made some new candy, how about trying it, Auntie?"
Guo Lu put it in her mouth without thinking: "Hmm, it tastes like milk. When did the little princess learn to make candy?"
The little girl said mysteriously, "This is a secret. Grandpa said I can't let my senior brother know."
"Hmm? Why can't Dr. Jin know?"
"Because Bu Bu got the inspiration after seeing his senior brother making candy first. Grandpa said that if his senior brother saw Bu Bu making it but he couldn't, he would be so angry that he would die of stupidity."
Bu Ruo chuckled: "Indeed, if Jin Congcong, who can't even recognize all the herbs, knew that Bu Bu could make this... he might really cry because of his own stupidity."
The palace maid who walked in was shocked to see Bu Ruo leaning her head on the chaise longue.
She did not accompany Concubine Zhang to the palace banquet that day, so she did not see Bu Ruo. She had been in the harem for many years and had seen all kinds of beautiful women.
Although the Princess Regent of the Great Zhou was just leaning back lazily, her temperament and impeccable appearance were unmatched by any other woman in the harem. Even her own mother, who was once the most beautiful woman in the imperial city, could not compare to her in the slightest.
She seemed to suddenly understand why the Regent of the Great Zhou had favored this princess for so many years. With such a beauty by his side, how could he care about other mediocre women?
That's right, she had unconsciously categorized her wife as a mediocre woman.
"Why are you looking at me? Did your Royal Concubine ask you to look after me?"
"Besides, the rules of your Ninghe Palace are really not very good. You don't even know how to perform a proper etiquette when you see me, the princess."
The maid came to her senses and knelt on the ground: "This servant... This servant greets the Regent Princess."
Bu Ruo didn't let him get up: "Well, just tell me what's going on."
The maid knelt on the ground, not daring to show any dissatisfaction: "Princess, my queen said that she and you felt a sense of familiarity at the palace banquet. She had planned to visit you the next day, but she didn't expect that something like this would happen that night after the banquet."
"My queen said she knew what her nephew had done and felt very guilty. She had already sent someone to the Zhang family to severely reprimand him. She said she was not feeling well and wanted to invite you, Princess, to Ninghe Palace for a chat. My queen wanted to apologize to you on behalf of her nephew."
Bu Ruo didn't say anything, just leaned there quietly with his eyes half closed as if he was asleep. The hall was unusually quiet, even the little girl sat aside honestly studying the pills in the pill bottle.
Just when the palace maid was about to kneel down, Bu Ruo finally spoke.
"There's no need to apologize. This princess will never forgive her nephew. Besides, didn't I get my revenge?"
"This princess is not a good-tempered person. Go back and tell your royal concubine to tell the Zhang family to avoid me in the future. Otherwise, if they offend me again, it will not be as simple as being deposed."
"Let's go. This princess is a little tired and needs to rest."
"You're being so shameless to apologize to someone and let them go. Are my legs and feet really that worthless?"
As soon as the maid returned to Ninghe Palace, she heard her master's roar: "Waste! All of them are waste! How could the emperor really let the Gu family give all their property to that so-called princess? The Gu family has already expelled Gu Lingxiu from the family tree, why should she be demoted to the third rank?"
"And my nephew..."
"Green Branch? You're back. What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly."
The palace maid walked in tremblingly, and looking at the broken pieces of teacup all over the floor, she gritted her teeth and knelt down.
"Have you seen the princess? Did she say when she would come to see me? Go get the whole piece of top-grade warm jade from my storehouse and give it to the regent princess as an apology when she arrives."
The palace maid lowered her head and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Her master looked weak, but she had been with her since she was a child and naturally knew what kind of person her master was.
Normally, if nothing happened, her master would be kind to the servants, but if there was something that did not please her, she would be ruthless and want to kill them.
"Your Majesty... I... I have met the Regent Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Princess said... she said..."
"What did she say?!"
"The Princess Regent said... there's no need for an apology. She won't forgive our young master. She's already taken revenge by crippling him."
"She also said...she has a bad temper. From now on, it's best for people from our Zhang family to avoid her when they see her. Otherwise, if we offend her again, it won't be as simple as just getting rid of her."
"When I left, I heard the princess say... how could you apologize to someone and then let them go? She said... that the queen really has a lot of face."
Sure enough, a teacup fell down again and directly scratched the palace maid's face.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You just had a miscarriage and your body hasn't recovered yet. You even vomited blood and fainted yesterday. You can't be so anxious and angry anymore."
"We will slowly figure out a solution for Young Master's matter. I've already inquired and found out that the Regent and Princess Regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty won't leave so soon. They will probably have to stay in Beining for another half a month."
Concubine Zhang clutched her aching chest and said, "How could I not be anxious? My elder brother has only had me as his sister for many years. He has always given me everything he wanted since I was little. I also watched Zi Ze grow up under my watch. How could I not be anxious?"
"Just now, my sister-in-law sent someone to tell me that although Zize's injury is under control by the wizard, it can't be delayed any longer. If it is delayed any longer, he may never recover."
"In fact, my brother was poisoned for me, so after all these years, I only have one child, Zi Ze. If Zi Ze really can't get better, how can I face my brother and sister-in-law in the future?"
"Someone, help me wash and change my clothes. Since she won't come, I will go myself."
Upon seeing this, the palace maids fell to their knees, feeling their heads shaking on their necks.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The imperial physician said you can only stay in bed and can't get out of bed, let alone go to see the Regent Princess. Your body can't bear it."
"You asked me to drug the princess, and I have already done it. Let's wait a little longer."
"I know you are worried about the Master and the Gu family, but you must take care of yourself first before we can think of a solution. In case something happens to you..."
