Before Zhao Shu could tell her to get up, she stood up herself and took out the Linlang Token from her sleeve. "Our Lady is unwell and will personally apologize to the Princess another day. Please return now, Princess."
Zhao Shu chuckled, her gaze falling on the Linlang Token. "The Imperial Concubine has even resorted to using the Linlang Token to avoid seeing me. It just so happens that the official from the Ministry of Rites is also on the entourage list. I will go and ask him how many times the Linlang Token can be used. Farewell."
Seeing her smug look, Hua Mei felt anxious for her mistress. How could this Princess Jun be any better than the rumors? Not even a fraction as good! Look at that mismatched outfit; she's clearly a spoiled, arrogant, and willful brat! Where is justice? Where is justice? Are all those ignorant people blind?
He was furious, but there was nothing he could do to Zhao Shu. He could only hurriedly have the palace doors closed, put the Linlang token in his sleeve, and go back to report.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Consort Hao's bedroom, she heard the sound of porcelain being smashed inside. She braced herself and went in.
As soon as she entered, a tall bottle was thrown at her. She quickly dodged it, and the bottle smashed against the door with a "crack" and fell to the ground, scattering flowers all over the floor.
"How dare Zhao Shu disregard me like this! Outrageous! Outrageous!" Hao Shumei's face twisted with rage.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down. She's just a little boy, her mind is unpredictable. Let her be smug for a few days. We won't stoop to her level. Please calm down, what if you upset the little prince?" Hua Mei hurriedly comforted her.
"Hmph, she's still young? When I was her age, I was already being asked to marry. It infuriates me! Where's Jiang Yue? Go tell her that no matter what she does, I want her to become Prince Yong's concubine immediately!" She said excitedly, almost biting her tongue.
Hua Mei kept trying to soothe Hao Shumei, but Hao Shumei's breathing wasn't so easily calmed. She turned to Hua Mei and asked, "Have you found any news about Father and Grandfather?"
"No." Hua Mei lowered her head. All the clues were exactly as rumored, and there was nothing different about them.
Hao Shumei sneered, "At that time, there were only Zhao Shu, the Crown Prince, Huo Danlan, and Peng Rui at the manor. The Crown Prince was seriously injured and trusted his father and grandfather completely, so only Zhao Shu, Huo Danlan, and Peng Rui were left. Of the three of them, only Zhao Shu had the motive to murder her father and grandfather. It must be her. The Empress Dowager blocked the news in order to protect her precious granddaughter. Hmph, did she think that by destroying the evidence, I couldn't do anything to her?"
After saying this bitterly, he changed the subject and asked, "Have you found your grandfather and father?"
Hua Mei knew what she was asking. They still hadn't seen the bodies of the master and the eldest son. She shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive us."
"Slap!" Hao Shumei slapped Huamei across the face. "Useless trash! Get back to finding it!"
