But when I opened my eyes, I saw someone sitting beside the bed.
Most of her hazy sleepiness had gone away. "Why is the prince back?"
Seeing her stand up, Qin Zongzhi quickly took out the red cloak and put it on her, with a hint of reproach in his eyes, "I'm worried about you."
"Don't worry about the Liu family's affairs. I will take care of it. You can just stay in the mansion with peace of mind these days."
Prince An whispered his instructions softly, and Zhao Yunzhu was helpless. After all, she didn't want to make him worry, so she nodded and agreed obediently.
As they were talking, Linglong came over with a letter from the Liu family in both hands.
"Put it on the table outside. No matter what happens these days, don't worry about it, Concubine."
Qin Zongzhi only took a glance and recognized that it was a condolence letter sent by the Liu family.
Linglong agreed, put the invitation on the table in the main room, and then left.
"You sleep for a while, I'll come back to have dinner with you in the evening."
Prince An helped her lie down again.
She tucked the quilt tightly, fearing that the cold wind would blow in through the gaps and freeze her.
Zhao Yunzhu watched him so carefully and urged him with a smile, "Your Highness, please go and do your work. You don't have to stay here with me."
…
By dinner time, Prince An still hadn't returned.
Zhao Yunzhu had dinner alone.
Because I slept for a long time during the day, I don’t feel sleepy at all now.
I simply lay on the bed and read some unofficial history.
A figure hurried past the window. Hearing the hurried footsteps outside, Zhao Yunzhu put down the unofficial history in his hand and looked towards the seat at the door.
The corners of his lips rose slightly.
Looking at the lifted door curtain, the man came into view.
"You came back late today. Have you had your meal yet?"
Qin Zongzhi took off his coat and walked closer to her. "How did you sleep during the day?"
Seeing her stand up, he reached out and pushed her to sit down, "You take a rest, you don't have to be busy."
"Has the prince eaten yet?"
"I slept for a long time during the day, but now I am not sleepy. I have already had dinner. Your Highness does not need to worry about me."
Seeing Qin Zongzhi nod, Zhao Yunzhu answered one sentence at a time.
"Don't go to the Liu family. I'll go when I have time. You're in this state now. Don't bother with it. It's not good after all."
Prince An's gentle gaze fell on Zhao Yunzhu's abdomen.
Zhao Yunzhu understood his concerns and did not refuse.
As for Wang Min's matter, she did not ask any further questions.
Later I heard that Wang Min's body was transported back to the Wang family.
Two maids escorted her.
Lord Wang of the Jingzhao government office, because of Prime Minister Liu, finally concluded that Wang Min committed suicide by taking poison because he was afraid of implicating his family in the murder of Madam Liu.
The two maids changed their statements, saying that they did such a ridiculous thing out of panic.
Because Zhao Yunzhu was unwilling to pay attention, she spared the lives of the two and allowed them to escort Miss Wang's body back to the Wang family.
After Madam Liu was buried, Prince An returned to the city patrol camp to continue his work.
…
"Miss, I heard that the young general of the Liu family has been drinking heavily in the brothel these days, and Prime Minister Liu is too lazy to care about him anymore."
While combing the young lady's hair, Nanny Hua told Zhao Yunzhu everything she had heard recently.
"Young General Liu is having a hard time accepting this and is stuck in a rut. Right now, no one can help him."
After all, the woman he loved poisoned his mother on the day she married his cousin.
It is understandable that it is difficult to get over it for a while.
However, Zhao Yunzhu was still somewhat surprised that Miss Wang finally chose such an extreme path just to drag her into the water.
But in the end, Miss Wang's wishes were in vain.
After Zhao Yunzhu had lunch, she saw the steward rushing over with a serious look on his face.
"Concubine Yun, His Majesty has arrived."
Zhao Yunzhu was slightly stunned. Why did the emperor come to visit in person?
Besides, why is the manager so serious?
Only when she rushed to the front hall with her maids and servants did she understand why.
Because the emperor was in casual clothes, he smiled and stepped forward when he saw her coming. "Imperial sister-in-law, I have been waiting for you to come. I...I came here today and I want you to accompany me to a place."
Zhao Yunzhu bowed hesitantly.
When she changed into men's clothes as ordered by the emperor, Linglong also changed into men's clothes.
Sitting in the carriage, she still didn't know what the emperor was thinking.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?"
"The Queen Mother asked me to leave the palace to persuade my cousin. I thought about it and decided it would be best to bring the Empress Dowager with me. After all, she's better at persuading people than me."
The emperor suddenly looked at her with a hint of apology in his eyes.
I didn't dare to speak in Prince An's Mansion just now because I was afraid that Zhao Yunzhu would reject me.
"This..." Zhao Yunzhu couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart after hearing what the emperor was thinking.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have prepared some thank-you gifts for you. I think they have already been delivered to the palace."
Looking at the emperor's sincere gaze, Zhao Yunzhu felt a little embarrassed.
What can I do?
I had no choice but to agree.
The curtain of the carriage was blown up by an inexplicable wind, and the plaque of Prince Xian's Mansion came into view. The gate was closed and there were guards at the door.
"Fifth Brother..."
"Is the Emperor truly planning to have the virtuous prince confine himself to self-reflection for three months?"
Zhao Yunzhu asked casually, but the emperor lowered his head and showed no intention of responding.
She didn't ask any more questions.
The carriage returned to calm.
…
The carriage stopped at a brothel.
As soon as a few people got off the carriage, a woman with a charming and graceful figure and a charming laugh immediately came around them.
The strong aroma made Zhao Yunzhu frown and hold her breath.
