I've said long ago that this heir belongs to my son Xuan'er, but Gu Yunrou and her son insist on competing with my son Xuan'er for him.
They were doing well in Yunlu City, but they insisted on returning to the capital. What was even more unexpected was that Shen Muyang not only recovered his health, but also learned martial arts.
I've heard he's rendered many meritorious services in the army, and the Emperor speaks highly of him. If he returns safely this time, his position as heir apparent will be secure.
After much persuasion, Granny Zhao finally managed to get Aunt Wang to sleep.
After watching Aunt Wang fall asleep, Granny Zhao quietly left her courtyard and went directly to the main courtyard via a side path.
On the main courtyard side, Granny Zhao, familiar with the place, arrived at an inconspicuous side gate.
Granny Zhao knocked lightly on the door, and the side door opened from the inside. Granny Zhao quickly went inside.
When Zhao Mama saw the people waiting inside, she was stunned for a moment.
"Granny Gu, why aren't you resting yet at this late hour?"
Granny Gu yawned.
"The old woman guarding the gate here had an upset stomach today, and I told her to go and rest since it was getting late."
"Granny Zhao, it's so late today, what's going on? Are they still awake over there?"
Granny Zhao sighed softly.
"I just fell asleep, but this old servant couldn't get away from it."
"Oh, right, Granny, she just said that the second young master hired a very skilled assassin to hunt down the young master, saying that he would never return."
"An assassin?" Upon hearing that an assassin was going to kill Shen Muyang, Granny Gu became very nervous.
Granny Zhao nodded.
"Yes, a very skilled assassin."
That person even said that if the lady doesn't allow the Marquis to spend the night in her room, it must be because... there's someone else outside.
She ordered the old servant to have someone keep an eye on the mistress, saying she wanted to catch the adulterer.
Granny Gu snorted coldly.
"Oh!
The lady is having an affair? She really knows how to slander people.
These are very important messages from Granny Zhao today, so I won't go into them any further. I'm going to report to Madam.
Just be careful. Don't worry, Dr. Bai has already diagnosed your grandson's illness and prescribed the best medicine.
Dr. Bai said that as long as the treatment is continued, a miracle will definitely happen.
Granny Zhao knelt down with a thud.
"This old servant thanks you, Madam; thank you, Doctor Bai; thank you, Granny Gu..."
Granny Gu gave Granny Zhao a slight boost.
"Alright, there's no need for further thanks. We will have Dr. Bai do his best to treat your grandson. You know very well what we want."
As long as you diligently assist Madam, you will be rewarded handsomely afterward.
Zhao Mama was originally a trusted nanny of Aunt Wang. Gu Yunrou happened to save a seriously ill child who had fainted on the street.
Unexpectedly, the child turned out to be Zhao Mama's grandson. Gu Yunrou asked Bai Ming to help treat the child's illness.
Granny Zhao also willingly became a spy for Gu Yunrou.
Because of the assassin matter, Granny Gu dared not delay. After dismissing Granny Zhao, she hurriedly went to Gu Yunrou's room.
Gu Yunrou had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by the servants.
Gu Yunrou was also taken aback when she saw Granny Gu.
"Granny, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
Granny Gu quickly relayed the message that Granny Zhao had just sent over.
Although Gu Yunrou believed in her son's abilities, she was Shen Muyang's biological mother, and she was very anxious when she heard that something had happened to him.
Without a second thought, she immediately summoned the bodyguard beside her.
"The Crown Prince sent a message yesterday saying he's already on his way back to the capital. Go and search along the main road..."
