Wushuang calmly watched as all the assassins were killed. Now the person who was sent to find the person finally came back.
"Greetings, Princess." The masked guard in black saluted Wushuang respectfully.
Wushuang waved his hand and asked, "How is my brother?"
Yes, the Zhu Weiyi who was killed by Wushuang just now was not the real one. He was someone else who disguised himself as him and wanted to get close to Wushuang to attack him.
It was impossible for Wushuang not to recognize what her own brother looked like. When the man tried to approach her, she killed him.
She was now worried that those people would want to replace Zhu Weiyi's identity and kill him directly.
The secret guard, perhaps aware of Wushuang's concerns, quickly replied, "Master Zhu, your life is not in danger. Our people arrived in time."
Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and said to the dark guards with a smile, "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, Princess."
Yes, the secret guard was sent by Chu Yunyi. He cannot protect Wushuang's safety all the time, so of course he has to send someone to ensure her safety.
But even Chu Yunyi didn't know that Wushuang actually knew martial arts, and it seemed that her archery skills were even very good.
When he learned that Wushuang was assassinated and she killed the assassin who disguised himself as Zhu Weiyi, he could not hide his shock.
Apart from her face, his princess actually surprised him more and more.
He thought she was a pretty vase with nothing to offer except her beauty, but he didn't expect that she also had superb medical skills. Now he knew that she was also good at martial arts and archery.
Chu Yunyi didn't know when he would fall in love with this beautiful woman who would surprise him from time to time.
"Wushuang." After Chu Yunyi dealt with the assassins, he quickly came over to see her, wanting to know if she was frightened.
"I'm fine." Wushuang shook his head, put down Zhu Weiyi's hand who was lying on the bed, turned around and looked at Chu Yunyi and smiled.
She was really fine. Not only was she not injured, she wasn't even frightened.
She was still very brave. After the assassination attempt yesterday, she didn't think the other party could really do anything to her.
The only thing she was worried about was her brother who had no ability to protect himself, and the servants in the Zhu Mansion who had no fighting power.
"I'm glad you're okay." Chu Yunyi really couldn't tell where she was injured, but he still stepped forward to take her pulse.
Chu Yunyi really didn't know much about medicine. He had only recently learned how to take Wushuang's pulse from the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital, just so that he could take Wushuang's pulse from time to time and know her physical condition.
Chu Yunyi carefully took her pulse and breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that she was really not frightened or injured.
He looked at Zhu Weiyi who was still unconscious and asked, "Is he okay?"
Wushuang shook his head. "Luckily, the secret guards arrived in time. My brother didn't suffer any serious injuries, but he still needs to rest for ten days to half a month."
Zhu Weiyi was really miserable. It could be said that he was the most seriously injured in the entire Zhu Mansion. Even the servants were not injured so seriously.
Of course, no one in the Zhu Mansion was killed and everyone was still alive and well.
Chu Yunyi took her hand and left Zhu Weiyi's room, came to the yard, and let her sit on a cushioned stone bench.
"We already know who did it." Chu Yunyi said, "I'm sorry, I've implicated you."
Wushuang raised an eyebrow, "Who did this?"
"Duke Cheng'en's Mansion." Chu Yunyi threw out these four words coldly.
Cheng'en Palace?
Isn’t this the Empress Dowager’s hometown?
Yes, the current emperor has not married a queen, so the current Cheng'en Mansion is the empress dowager's maiden home.
The Empress Dowager's family can be said to be a group of nouveau riche who suddenly became rich, and their background is not very deep.
If the empress dowager had not been sent to the palace, and had given birth to the late emperor's only surviving prince many years later, her family would never have been able to prosper.
When the previous emperor was still alive, the people in Cheng'en Mansion were quite law-abiding. But after the previous emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, Cheng'en Mansion began to tremble.
Relying on the fact that his family is the emperor's in-laws, he acts arrogantly and domineeringly.
After that, he was dealt with by Chu Yunyi.
"Both the Queen Mother and the Duke Cheng'en's Mansion hate me to the core." Chu Yunyi said with a cold expression, "I'm sorry, because of me, you have suffered such an undeserved disaster."
Whether it was to avenge Chu Yunyi's exile of the empress dowager's brother, or to "help" Emperor Chu Feng eliminate him, the powerful regent, the Cheng'en Mansion had a 100% motive to kill Chu Yunyi.
Of course, they didn't want to let Chu Yunyi's child go.
Wushuang raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Chu Yunyi and said, "So what does His Majesty think? If you take care of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, will His Majesty hate you too?"
"I'm not sure about that either." Chu Yunyi said uncertainly, "Anyway, at this point, His Majesty won't break off relations with me."
Chu Feng is only eight years old. What can he do if he falls out with Chu Yunyi?
It was still very difficult for the eight-year-old emperor to take complete power.
If he overthrew Chu Yunyi and the court officials took over the power from Chu Yunyi, it would not be easy for him to take back the power after the emperor came of age.
Whether to deal with Chu Yunyi, the regent, or with the civil and military officials in the future, Chu Feng should make the right choice.
Wushuang smiled and said, "In that case, I must meet the Queen Mother in the future."
Wushuang knew that this assassination attempt on Chu Yunyi could deal with the Cheng'en Mansion, but he could not touch the Queen Mother.
After all, she was the emperor's biological mother, and no matter how much the emperor felt about his mother, he would never want her to die.
But Wushuang doesn't care.
The Queen Mother and everyone in the Cheng'en Mansion wanted to kill her, and she still repaid evil with kindness? She wasn't that stupid.
She took out a bottle of medicine and placed it in front of Chu Yunyi, saying, "Please help me inject it into the Queen Mother's body."
Chu Yunyi looked at the blue and white porcelain bottle seriously, then looked at Wushuang with a complicated expression.
Wushuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is not a poison, it's just a debilitating drug."
"This medicine won't kill you, it just makes you less energetic and less likely to have the energy to work hard."
"This medicine can even help people take good care of their bodies. They won't have to go through so much trouble, and they won't have the energy to think so much. Perhaps they can even live a hundred years."
Chu Yunyi: “…”
No one wants to live a hundred years in a sickly and drowsy state, right?
Although Chu Yunyi secretly complained, he thought about the Queen Mother who wanted to make trouble from time to time in the palace, and felt that it would be a good idea to give her this medicine.
Chu Yunyi had no intention of letting the emperor know about this.
Chu Yunyi certainly wouldn't test the importance of his biological mother or his uncle to see who holds the most important position in Chu Feng's heart.
After all, he is the regent, and the little emperor is still young. He still has people in the palace, so he can drug the empress dowager without anyone knowing.
