The Empress Dowager initially thought it was outrageous that these women were dressed so inappropriately to come to court. However, upon hearing that they were sent by her son, she immediately realized that these women were also exceptional. Putting aside their appearance, their courage to face her without fear was also extremely rare.
"Good, good, good." She said "good" three times in a row. "Jiyun, take her away and make proper arrangements for her."
The three didn't seem to understand Chinese very well, but they listened to Huo Danlan very much and followed Jiyun down.
After seeing the three embroiderers off, Huo Danlan took out a small box and handed it to Zhao Shu, saying, "Open it and see if you like it."
Zhao Shu took it and calmly opened it. Inside was not a hairpin or jewelry, but a contract of fate, a death contract with a potter. "Aunt knows that you have been looking for a good craftsman recently, so Aunt found one from Bianzhou and sent it to you."
"Thank you so much, Aunt. You really understand Ah Jun." If it weren't for the inconvenience of her court dress, she would have gotten up and given Huo Danlan a big hug.
Nowadays, there aren't many good craftsmen. Anyone with a bit of skill has been sold off by certain families. It's really too difficult to find a good craftsman who is free.
Seeing that she was smiling happily, with her eyes brimming with joy, Huo Danlan was extremely pleased with Zhao Shu's attitude.
Suddenly, Sun Yun, who was beside Zhao Shu, exclaimed, "Your Highness!"
Everyone immediately looked at the Crown Prince, only to find that he had vomited several mouthfuls of blood and had fainted in a chair. Zhao Shu stood up abruptly. She was close to the Crown Prince and walked over in a few steps. She grabbed the Crown Prince's hand and thankfully, he still had a pulse.
"Summon the Imperial Physician!" the Empress Dowager exclaimed.
Hongxia hurriedly went to summon the imperial physician. As the crown prince suddenly vomited blood and fainted, chaos erupted in the hall. Everyone was afraid, afraid of being accused of being the murderer.
Only Zhao Shu's gaze fell on Hao Shumei, who was pretending to be panicked but was actually not flustered at all. The Crown Prince suddenly vomited blood and fainted because of anger. He was fine just now. It was impossible for the Crown Prince to be so angry when he saw Huo Danlan, nor could he be a member of the imperial clan. So it could only be Hao Shumei.
Her gaze fell on Hao Shumei, and Hao Shumei's eyes happened to look over as well. Their eyes met in the air, and they both sensed the tension between them.
Hao Shumei, your pretense is to protect your pregnancy, your real purpose is to cause trouble, and I'm afraid even the baby in your belly isn't real.
Hmph, if you dare to come, be prepared to leave your life behind!
