Before long, Xiao Zhuzi came in from outside. "This servant greets the Princess and Miss Sun. Princess, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, the capital would have been in chaos."
Actually, what he wanted to say was that Miss Sun had already earned the money, and it had nothing to do with you. As a servant, I felt sorry for you watching the money flow into other people's pockets.
Zhao Shu chuckled, seeing through Xiao Zhu's little scheme. Without saying much, she instructed, "Send a message to Elder Peng: don't return to the capital yet."
If he returns to the capital and cannot be cured, it may damage his reputation, and in severe cases, he may even lose his head. Emperor Mingde only has a few years left to live, and everyone will die eventually. She does not want Physician Peng to risk his reputation and life.
Before Xiao Zhuzi left to carry out his orders, he handed over a piece of intelligence. Zhao Shu frowned as she read it. "The Fourth Prince's Consort is dead?"
Sun Yun stiffened, his money-grubbing expression vanishing. He took the intelligence from her hand and frowned. "You, Zhao Bi, you kill people when you're no longer useful! How dare you bully the people of the Sun family!"
"Don't be impatient. Let's see what he does next. Now that his wife has died, he must be planning to marry someone new. Let's see who he marries."
Zhao Shu had long guessed Sun Jiao's fate. From the day Sun Ganzheng and his wife were locked up in the inner quarters by Sun Yun, the Sun family's fate was already sealed. Who was Zhao Bi? Could he tolerate his wife having no support at all?
Absolutely impossible.
Sure enough, the next day, it was heard that Zhao Bi had taken Master Yuan to see Emperor Mingde. After calculating the emperor's fortune, Master Yuan said that the emperor needed a son born on an unlucky day in the twelfth lunar month to marry him so that his illness could be alleviated.
Born in the Year of the Horse on a cloudy day in the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Bi was the only one of his kind. However, he had just lost his wife and it was not appropriate for him to remarry immediately. So, he consulted the oracle and received guidance from the Buddha. He learned that Zhao Bi and Sun Jiao's birth charts clashed. If Zhao Bi were to enter the family temple and be worshipped by future generations, it would not only fail to bring prosperity to his descendants but could also bring great disaster.
Poor Sun Jiao, not only did she not receive basic dignity after her death, but she was also demoted to a concubine. Concubines are not allowed to enter the family temple to receive incense offerings from future generations. The way this was resolved can be described as perfect.
Naturally, Sun Yun's new business took on a new order. The client requested that Sun Jiao be portrayed as a woman who brought misfortune to her husband, children, and future generations, who had been married into the Fourth Prince's household for many years but had no children, and who was neither virtuous nor meritorious. All the blame should fall on Sun Jiao. However, Zhao Bi wanted to portray her in a more positive light, such as being devoted to Sun Jiao and being forced by filial piety and other reasons to change her from wife to concubine.
In short, he was a devoted lover with his own reasons.
Like a grand opera performance, the business hall received the money and did everything according to the client's wishes without any deviation. Three days later, Zhao Bi was going to get married again.
