Even if Song Shumin really lost her life, I think the wise king would find a way to cover up this scandal, and Song Shumin would just end up with something that was not worth it.
No one at the table knew about the unexpected events that had taken place in Prince Xian's mansion.
When the banquet was over, the virtuous king did not show up again. Everyone just smiled and teased him with words before saying goodbye and leaving.
As the brother of King Xian, King An naturally had to see off the guests who came today on behalf of his brother before leaving.
Zhao Yunzhu sat on the back porch to rest in order to avoid being idle.
Aunt Hua brought a soft cushion and placed it on the corridor, and also brought a hand warmer.
Zhao Yunzhu held the hand warmer in both hands and looked at the rockery in the yard.
I don’t know where my thoughts have drifted to.
How will the wise king use the clues she gave about the poisoning of the previous emperor?
"Concubine Yun, I finally found you."
A dark shadow ran towards her quickly.
Before Zhao Yunzhu could comprehend her wandering thoughts, she saw Qin Yihuai, who was out of breath, running towards her.
Aunt Hua had no time to stop him. Qin Yihuai, breathing heavily, said to her, "Concubine Yun, can you go see Yueyue? She's clamoring for you..."
Zhao Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, but before she could come to her senses, Qin Yihuai had already taken her hand and ran to the backyard of Prince Xian's Mansion.
Aunt Hua and the others were shocked.
He rushed forward and chased after him, shouting, "Prince, don't run, don't run!"
After running two steps, Zhao Yunzhu was obviously out of breath and felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen. She frowned.
She couldn't run anymore, so she stopped. Qin Yihuai was obviously stunned.
"I can go with you, but I really can't run any more. If you insist on making things difficult for me, I'm sorry, I won't go."
Zhao Yunzhu spoke in a cold tone, with a hint of displeasure on her face.
"Concubine Yun, I'm sorry, I was too anxious..."
Qin Yihuai then realized that Zhao Yunzhu was really angry. He said angrily, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Seeing his serious attitude, Zhao Yunzhu put away the anger on her face and said, "Forget it, let's go."
Qin Yihuai finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Yunzhu was no longer angry, but he was still a little afraid of angering Zhao Yunzhu again, so he was extremely cautious along the way and did not say another word.
The two walked to Qin Yueyue's house.
Qin Yihuai stepped into the yard and shouted towards the main house impatiently: "Yueyue, come out quickly and see who your brother brought to see you."
In the main room, the little girl who was lying on the bed sobbing heard her brother's voice outside the yard.
She raised her head suspiciously, thinking she had misheard. The maids serving in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yueyue trotted out of the house.
Seeing Zhao Yunzhu standing at the door, she threw herself into Zhao Yunzhu's arms with grievance, "Auntie, Auntie."
Zhao Yunzhu squatted down unconsciously, took Qin Yueyue into her arms, patted her back gently, and said softly, "Yueyue, be good, don't cry."
"Aunt, can you please not leave Yueyue like mother did? Yueyue doesn't want to be separated from you."
Qin Yueyue sobbed and choked, her small body seemed to turn into a ball of water, clinging tightly to Zhao Yunzhu.
"Yueyue, be good and obedient. Auntie will come to see you often."
Qin Yueyue made a fuss for a while, and Zhao Yunzhu played with her for a long time until she coaxed Qin Yueyue to sleep, and then she left.
Qin Yihuai escorted Zhao Yunzhu out of the courtyard and bowed respectfully to her. "Concubine Yun, I'm sorry for disturbing you today. Please don't blame me. I can only send you here. I'm worried about Yueyue."
The little child, who hasn't even grown up yet, has already taken on the responsibility of taking care of his younger sister.
Zhao Yunzhu understood and waved goodbye to him, "Prince, please go back quickly. There's no need to see you off."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Aunt Hua sighed, "The little princess is really pitiful. She has to be separated from her biological mother at such a young age. I never thought that the princess would be so attached to the young lady."
"Yes, the child is innocent."
Zhao Yunzhu spoke in a low voice, but Chun'er was all in her mind.
Isn't her niece innocent too?
After seeing off the guests, Prince An learned that Zhao Yunzhu had been taken away by her nephew and was about to go look for her.
The two met in the corridor at the corner.
Seeing that she was a little depressed, Prince An stepped forward and took her hand, "Let's go, it's time for us to go home."
Zhao Yunzhu nodded and said nothing more.
The two of them left Prince Xian's mansion. Qin Zongzhi helped her get into the carriage and followed her in.
"What's wrong? You don't look happy?"
Qin Zongzhi stuffed the hand warmer from the carriage into her hand under her cloak and asked, "Are you worried about the two children?"
"The Crown Prince is fine, but the Princess is too young. After what happened today, I'm afraid the two children won't have an easy time in the Xianwang Mansion in the future."
Zhao Yunzhu sighed helplessly.
"Yunzhu, those are other people's family affairs. The one who should be worried is their father."
Zhao Yunzhu understood this truth very well.
The wise king abandoned his originally happy family for his own benefit.
…
Since returning to Prince An's Mansion, Zhao Yunzhu often sent people to report news from Prince Xian's Mansion.
Maybe it was because she played with Qin Yueyue for a long time that day, which made her miss the child.
I heard that Song Shumin has been bedridden since she got married.
She never showed up again, and the explanation given by Prince Xian's Mansion to the outside world was that Song Shumin had caught a cold and was not able to show up now.
Fortunately, she had no relatives in Chang'an. When the Song Palace fell into decline, the former relatives of the clan came to the palace and wanted to show off in front of Song Shumin.
Unexpectedly, Song Shumin, who had completely left the Song Palace, did the first thing after becoming the county lord. She sent people to the clan to completely separate her parents' lineage from the Song family.
Whenever someone in the clan caused trouble, a group of thieves of unknown origin would break into the house that night, burnt things, and beat the family members half to death.
At first, some people tried to report it to the police, but later found that it was of no use.
The thieves' revenge will only become more unscrupulous.
Everyone in the Song family just came to their senses and realized that it was Song Shumin who was secretly causing trouble.
The clan elders came to seek peace, and Song Shumin frankly admitted that she was the one who did it.
If anyone from the Song family tries to marry into the family and cause trouble again in the future, her revenge will only be more severe.
From then on, Song Shumin completely broke with the Song family.
How could anyone in the Song family be willing to offend the virtuous king for her again?
This day.
Doctor Li was checking Zhao Yunzhu's pulse when Prince An returned to the mansion. He lifted the curtain and saw Doctor Li, then he lowered the curtain and waited outside.
"How's your appetite these days, Concubine?"
Prince An saw Linglong sitting in the corridor peeling peanuts and asked.
"My Lord, the concubine is doing well these days."
Linglong moved the plate away from her body, put the peanuts in her hand back into the plate, stood up and bowed to King Tong'an.
At this time, the curtain at the door was lifted by someone from inside the room. Qin Zongzhi looked over and saw Doctor Li walking out of the room carrying a medicine box.
