That day, there was chaos in the Dingping Marquis's Mansion.
"Yun'er, where are you? Didn't your father just slap you? You don't have to run away from home!"
Zou cried so hard that her heart was broken.
Yu Xiaoyuan didn't cry, he was cursing: "What a rebellious girl! The emperor ordered us to leave the capital today, but it's already dark and Yun'er hasn't come back yet."
Zou had been holding her anger for days, but now she couldn't hold it back any longer. She rushed towards Yu Xiaoyuan, punching him with both fists. "It was you who beat my Yun'er. If you hadn't beaten her, she wouldn't have run away from home."
Yu Xiao was extremely angry and pushed Zou away: "What are you making a fuss about? Yun'er has been spoiled by you. She has become willful and domineering, just like you."
Listening to her husband scolding her, Zou burst into tears in grievance: "What a sin I have committed! My husband doesn't love me, and my daughter ran away from home. My life is so miserable!"
Yu Xiaoyuan couldn't stand hearing these words and felt that Zou was a jinx.
He was a good marquis, but because Zou treated Jinshu badly, he became a small county magistrate. Now everyone in the capital is laughing at him.
Since his daughter is the queen, he should be the father-in-law of the emperor. However, he was demoted to a remote place to be a county magistrate. He didn't even know whether he could return to the capital alive in this life.
Throughout history, I’m afraid he is the only marquis who serves as a county magistrate!
He strode out and saw the guards who were looking for Yu Yunli outside running back. He immediately asked, "Did you find her?"
The guards shook their heads one by one: "My Lord, we have searched the entire capital, but we haven't found the Second Young Lady."
Yu Xiaoyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Leave her alone."
That night, Yu Xiaoyuan left the capital with Zou, his guards, and some servants.
Zou cried all the way and refused to leave the capital, but Yu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to say that he would divorce her if she didn't leave.
The next morning, the emperor and the empress dowager prepared to leave the palace and head to the imperial temple outside the capital.
Yu Jinshu only sent the emperor out of Qingzhu Courtyard. She was pregnant and it was not appropriate for her to walk too far.
Before Chu Zan left, he took Yu Jinshu's hand and said, "Jinshu, the Queen Mother wants to go to the Imperial Temple to pray for the baby in your belly. She is worried about the bumpy mountain road and won't let you go. You should stay in Qingzhu Courtyard. I will be back tomorrow. If you want to eat something outside the palace, just tell me."
Yu Jinshu was worried that Chu Zan would be in danger outside the palace, so she didn't dare to ask for too much. "There are all kinds of delicious food in the palace, so there's no need to buy anything else."
Chu Zan nodded and turned away.
It was only a day and a night of separation, but he felt like he was leaving Sanqiu.
Yu Jinshu watched Chu Zan walk away until he disappeared, then returned to the cabin in Qingzhuyuan.
The Queen Mother has been very strict with her lately, telling her not to eat barbecue because it would be bad for the baby in her belly, which has made her very greedy.
The emperor and the queen mother are both out now, so she wants to have a good barbecue in the cabin today.
Thinking of this, she wanted to jump for joy.
She didn't have to worry about anything that would be bad for the child. She spent a huge amount of money to buy eugenics pills in the system. After the child was born, he was not only in good health, but also had strong IQ in all aspects.
The only thing she was worried about was Emperor Chu Zan.
Last time, Chu Zan was assassinated outside the palace. Although Chu Chenmu has been executed, there are definitely more than just Chu Chenmu who covet the throne.
Last night she prepared a lot of pills for Chu Zan, such as detoxification pills, trauma medicine, and even heart-saving pills.
At noon, the emperor and the empress dowager's carriage arrived at the Huang Temple on the mountain outside the capital.
In the afternoon, the emperor accompanied the empress dowager in chanting scriptures in the Buddhist temple, praying for the royal heir in Yu Jinshu's belly.
The emperor started taking concubines at the age of thirteen, and now he is twenty-five, more than ten years have passed, and he still has no royal heir.
The Queen Mother prayed devoutly, asking the Buddha to bless the royal heir who was finally born, and to bless Queen Yu Jinshu to give birth to the child intact.
Chu Zan also prayed very devoutly. Giving birth is a life-threatening process, and he prayed more to the Buddha to ensure that his Jinshu would go through the birthing safely and that both mother and child would be safe.
The chanting continued until the evening. After the emperor and the empress dowager had their vegetarian meal, they returned to their rooms to rest.
As soon as the hour of midnight arrived, the young monk brought a bowl of soup to the emperor's chamber.
Chu Zan picked up the soup and drank it, then looked at the novice monk in front of him. He looked a bit like a woman, but he didn't care too much.
After finishing the soup, Chu Zan handed the bowl to the novice monk, but the novice monk did not leave.
"Why don't you leave?"
The novice monk lowered his head and timidly said, "Your Majesty, the abbot has asked me to serve you."
This novice monk was Yu Yunli in disguise, and she had just put poison in the soup.
Yu Yunli was waiting for the emperor's poison to take effect.
Chu Zan looked at the little monk and felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
Oh no, this is poisoning.
He got up and lay down on the bed, turning sideways, and quickly took out an antidote pill from his sleeve pocket and swallowed it.
Yu Yunli saw the emperor lying on the bed, holding his stomach, and she was a little curious.
Didn't Wei Quhu give the emperor an aphrodisiac? Why did the emperor get a stomachache after taking it?
Yu Yunli hurried forward to check: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
The emperor lay motionless on the bed.
Yu Yunli wondered if the aphrodisiac had made the emperor fall asleep.
The opportunity finally came, and Yu Yunli immediately pulled off the fake leather cover on her head, revealing her long hair.
Then she took off her novice monk's robe, revealing a semi-transparent gauze dress, which was very sexy.
But just as she was climbing onto the bed, the door was pushed open.
Yu Yunli was startled and turned around to see that the person coming was a guard. She was frightened and looked carefully, but she saw that the person coming was Wei Quhu disguised as a guard.
"Why did you come in?" Yu Yunli was displeased. She was about to go to bed with the emperor, so why did Wei Quhu come in?
Wei Quhu walked up to Yu Yunli, his face gloomy: "The emperor didn't take an aphrodisiac, he took poison."
Yu Yunli's eyes widened: "You lied to me?"
Wei Quhu laughed: "I'm not lying to you, can I poison the emperor to death? Hahaha..." He laughed loudly.
"The emperor is dead?" Yu Yunli couldn't believe it. She planned to bet her future on the emperor, but the emperor was dead.
Wei Quhu looked at Yu Yunli's silly look, smiled coldly, unsheathed his sword, and plunged it directly into Yu Yunli's chest.
"You..." Yu Yunli stared at Wei Quhu, her eyes almost popping out.
If she had known that Wei Quhu wanted to use her to poison the emperor, she might as well have followed her parents to Guizhou.
Yesterday's impulse led her to the underworld.
Wei Quhu killed Yu Yunli. He held a bloody sword and wanted to approach the bed to see if the emperor was really dead. If he was not dead, he would give the emperor another sword.
But just as he took a step, the door slammed open with a loud bang and a row of imperial guards ran in.
Wei Quhu looked at the guards in panic.
