Yinzhen knew in his heart that if this matter was aimed at him personally, then the most dangerous person was Yunrong.
Yinzhen couldn't guarantee that there weren't any remaining fugitives in the palace. If he were to assassinate Yunrong directly, he would have skilled people around her to protect her. But what if he didn't do it directly? Yinzhen knew there were many ways to make someone disappear without a trace.
He would feel more at ease if he had two more people around Yunrong.
Yinzhen did not intend to hide this from Yunrong.
Yinzhen: "There's something I need to tell you. This assassination attempt might have implicated you."
Yunrong: "What do you mean you dragged me into this? They wouldn't be trying to assassinate you, would they?"
Yinzhen: "No, that's not it. It's possible that someone is eyeing your position."
Yunrong understood; they just couldn't stand her being the only one standing out.
Yunrong smiled and said, "You're quite the ladies' man!"
Yinzhen smiled bitterly, "This is not even as good as a rotten vegetable leaf. I don't know what they're thinking. Why can't they climb up the ladder through their own abilities? Instead, they have to resort to crooked methods."
Yunrong: "You're overthinking it. There are so many people around me, it's not easy for me to make a move. Besides, you said it's not even worth rotten vegetable leaves. If you really care about this, it's not worth it."
Yinzhen suspected which family was behind it all, but he didn't think of any individual.
Actually, it's not that no family had this wicked idea; it's just that a few powerful families had daughters who had entered the palace in the past, and they were terrified of being persecuted. Moreover, they couldn't see how much power the emperor really had over the years, and they were afraid that if one of them succeeded, their entire family would be ruined.
Given the Emperor's deep affection for the Empress, if she were caught doing something wrong, no one knows what he might do in a fit of rage for her sake.
In officialdom, truly foolish people can't climb very high, and smart people don't dare to be the "chicken" or the first to test the poison.
News of the empress's assassination spread quickly, and all the women in the harem felt a pang of regret that the assassin had been so incompetent.
Rumors began to circulate outside the palace that the assassination attempt on the empress was no small matter.
Yunrong's mother had just received the news and couldn't sit still.
As soon as Wuya heard what was being said, she immediately ordered, "Quickly send someone to the palace to deliver the token. This is really a hardship. I don't know which damned person is messing with my daughter."
Upon learning of her daughter's assassination attempt, Uya lost her usual elegance and composure, and even swore.
It's no wonder. She dotes on her daughter, and even after she gets married, she still dotes on her. Now that she's been assassinated, how could she possibly be elegant and composed? It's only because she's well-mannered that she didn't curse those assassins to death.
Misihan knew about it a little earlier than the Fujin, and only after the people in the manor received the news did the steward send people to the front and back yards.
The front yard is closer, so I only knew about it for a short while.
Uya ordered someone to deliver a memorial to the palace, inwardly cursing those who had harmed her daughter.
So when Mi Sihan came in, he saw his wife with a tense face, furrowed brows, and a handkerchief twisted in her hand, and he knew she was still worried!
Missham: "The Princess Consort"
Uya was cursing in her heart and didn't react for a moment. She only realized what was happening when Misihan walked up to her.
Wuya stood up without changing her posture: "Why did you come over, Master?"
Missham was also worried, but as a man, he didn't show it on his face.
Mi Sihan: "I don't know what's going on with Her Highness in the palace. Go and visit her to find out what's happening. We can't let our Fucha family's daughter be bullied."
Uya looked on in agreement: "You're right, sir. I've already sent someone to deliver the token, and I'll go to the palace tomorrow."
Misihan said with great concern, "My daughter has never suffered since she was a child. She must be terrified by this assassination attempt. Don't forget to bring some tonics and calming herbs."
Uya was a thoughtful and meticulous person, so she naturally thought of these things: "You are right, sir. I was going to give the order anyway."
Uya: "Someone, quickly go to the storeroom and prepare the tonics and medicinal herbs to bring to Her Majesty tomorrow."
There were people guarding the door of Uya's house. As soon as she spoke, her personal maid immediately went to prepare.
