"My fourth sister is getting married, so it's normal for me to go back and contribute to her dowry," Sun Yun asked Zhao Shu curiously. After asking, he sat there listlessly again, without even bringing a heater. Although the snow had begun to melt and the sky was showing signs of clearing up, it was still freezing cold.
Sun Yun didn't want to say this, and Zhao Shu wouldn't force her. Sitting opposite Sun Yun, she said to Green Ivy, "Go and get the heater."
"Yes, Princess." Green Luo bowed and left. Half-Bundle was busy tidying up again, leaving only Zhao Shu and Sun Yun there. Sheng Xia had already gone to help Half-Bundle.
Xiao Guozi and Xiao Zhuzi have also disappeared. They must have been summoned by the Empress Dowager to be reprimanded. These two are the most skilled. Without their help, Zhao Shu probably wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.
Thinking of this, she sighed. She always felt that once she left the capital, many things were out of her control. Zhao Bi actually married the eldest daughter of the Sun family. She still felt like she was dreaming. In her previous life, Zhao Bi didn't have such good luck.
Could it be that my rebirth has changed the fate of most people? Then the fate of the Crown Prince must also be rewritten. Yes, the Crown Prince in my previous life had never suffered such torment. He was deposed for some unknown reason. I really hate my past self. I was even worse than a foolish woman.
“It’s good to go back. The end of the year is approaching, and you can go home to spend a reunion with your parents. You are a proud daughter of heaven, and your parents are still alive, so you can’t stay in Guanzhou for the New Year.” Zhao Shu said calmly. She didn’t know why Zhao Bi was able to marry a girl from the Sun family. However, Zhao Shu was more worried about something else. “When you return to the capital this time, remember to be careful. You are too arrogant. Arrogant people often don’t have a good ending. When you need to bend your back, remember to bend it. If you have a conflict with someone, don’t confront them head-on. A woman’s revenge is never too late.”
After hearing her words, Sun Yun suddenly said, "Ah Jun, am I going to die? I always feel like I'm going to die, and I'm scared."
Zhao Shu could tell she was afraid. Her eyes used to shine like the sun, always full of confidence, but now they were filled with fear and heartbreak.
She didn't know why these two kinds of looks appeared in Sun Yun's eyes at the same time, but if Sun Yun didn't want to say, she wouldn't force her to. After hearing her words, she shook her head slightly, "You will die peacefully in your old age, don't worry. If anything happens, remember to go back to Guanzhou. I will be waiting here, no matter what happens."
These words inexplicably sounded like a parent's admonition. After saying this, Zhao Shu smiled gently, realizing that she was being delusional. If Zhao Bi's fate could be changed, why couldn't Sun Yun's?
There was no reason why Zhao Bi was getting better and better while Sun Yun was getting worse and worse, but the worry in my heart could not be removed no matter what I did. Wasn't the Crown Prince not getting better?
A multitude of worries came crashing down on Zhao Shu, making her feel like she was about to collapse.
Just then, Physician Peng came over. "Princess, so you're here! Quick, quick, come with me to take a look. I've just written a new prescription, but I feel there's something wrong with it. Can you give me your opinion?"
He was unaware of many things, so he was extremely optimistic. After entering the hall, he bowed and praised Sun Yun, saying, "Miss Sun's zither skills are superb. If Boya were alive today, he would definitely consider you a confidante."
Sun Yun laughed at the compliment. Luckily, it was about Bo Ya, not some famous courtesan, or she would have wanted to bang her head against a wall. "Old Peng is really joking." Although she said that, she didn't seem modest at all. Throughout history, there have been few people who dared to compare themselves to Bo Ya, and Sun Yun just happened to be one of them. Call her arrogant if you want, that's how she saw herself.
Zhao Shu wanted to say a few more words to Sun Yun, but the old physician Peng hurriedly pulled her towards his courtyard. "His Highness's injuries are too severe. Just now, Miss Sun played a piece of music, and His Highness fell asleep peacefully. In the future, please play for His Highness often, as it will help his recovery." Before leaving, he told Sun Yun these words and went out.
Zhao Shu had no choice but to go with Physician Peng, as the matter concerned the Crown Prince's injuries. Fortunately, Sun Yun was not leaving today.
Upon arriving at Physician Peng's courtyard, one could smell the fragrance of medicine emanating from afar. Inside the courtyard, a young apprentice was tending to a Ganoderma lucidum growing on an old tree trunk.
Upon seeing Zhao Shulai, they put down their work and bowed, but Zhao Shulai ignored them, so they continued working.
Green Ivy and the others followed closely behind. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Physician Peng began to give instructions, "Green Ivy, go and help clean the courtyard. Summer, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shengxia said, "I'll go and prepare the herbs for you."
Physician Peng chuckled twice, then mysteriously pulled Zhao Shu to the table and pulled out a prescription from his wide sleeve. "Princess, take a look. This is the prescription I made for the Crown Prince. Do you think there's anything better?"
Zhao Shu was too lazy to expose him. He was clearly trying to get the prescription from her in a roundabout way, but he was pretending to be humble and seeking advice. She chuckled, picked up the pen next to her, dipped it in ink, and the ink was ready. Old Peng was very well prepared.
He wrote down the prescription he had originally written for Ouyang Ping, even clearly outlining the dietary restrictions and precautions. The old physician Peng became extremely well-behaved, showing an even more childlike side.
He wrote it down and handed it to him, saying, "The Crown Prince's leg injury needs to be broken again, then the position needs to be found and it needs to be re-set, only then will there be a chance of a full recovery, otherwise he will continue to limp like this."
"Is that what Mr. Ouyang said?" Physician Peng summoned Zhao Shu, partly for the prescription and partly to inquire about Ouyang Ping. He went to the Huo residence to ask, and Lao Lou said that Ouyang Ping had gone to the estate. However, he had also gone to the estate with Granny Zhong, but he did not see Ouyang Ping.
Seeing his expectant face, Zhao Shu felt a pang of pity, but she still told the truth, "The old gentleman has met with misfortune."
Although the two Ouyang Ping faces surprised her, she instinctively believed that the kind old man she knew was not a spy, and that it was all the work of the assassin who had an Ouyang Ping face, or perhaps his friend.
