General Liu looked up at the dark night sky and sighed softly, "Forget it, let's go back."
Zhao Yunzhu watched General Liu walk away before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, from what General Liu said, the young master might be transferred. Should we tell the wise king about this?"
Linglong was a little worried.
Zhao Yunzhu thought for a moment, "We're in the palace right now, so it's better to have less trouble than more."
After returning to the banquet, the singing and dancing were almost coming to an end.
Empress Dowager Liu was feeling a little sleepy and had already left the table. Concubine Rong accompanied the Empress Dowager back to the harem.
Since the emperor had not left yet, it was difficult for everyone to leave.
Only when a blush appeared on the emperor's face did he say goodbye to everyone with the help of the eunuchs.
Everyone stood up and respectfully saw the emperor off.
The huge banquet fell silent in an instant.
After Prime Minister Liu left, the virtuous king was already sitting down to drink, and Song Shumin would add a glass of wine for him from time to time.
Zhao Yunzhu took a quick look and saw that there were not many people left at the banquet.
Stand up and want to leave.
"Concubine Yun, wait a minute."
Song Shumin put down the wine jug, slowly stood up and walked to Zhao Yunzhu.
"Princess Xian, what can I ask you?"
Knowing that Song Shumin would not come to her for no reason, she felt alarmed.
"Don't rush back. I want to invite Concubine Yun to watch a big show."
Song Shumin raised the corners of her lips, and the smile in her eyes was a little strange, which made people feel a little flustered.
Zhao Yunzhu raised her eyes and glanced at Song Shumin. "Thank you for your kindness, Princess Xian. I'm really tired and just want to go back and rest early. I don't want to watch any good show."
Seeing that Zhao Yunzhu was determined to leave and had such a firm attitude.
Song Shumin raised her hand and grabbed her arm, with a threatening look in her eyes.
"Concubine Yun, today's show is so good, you have to watch it even if you don't want to—"
"What if I insist on not going? Does Princess Xian want to attack me in the palace?" Zhao Yunzhu sneered.
Song Shumin released her hand, her smile filled with confidence. "I think it won't take long for the virtuous prince to find the orphan of the Zhao family."
Zhao Yunzhu froze when she suddenly heard someone mention Chun'er. Although Song Shumin had not seen it with her own eyes when Chun'er was taken away, she had probably guessed it.
Today, the wise king and Song Shumin have decided to drag her into the water.
I don't want to give her any chance.
"Haha, Princess Xian is such a joker. My entire Zhao family is gone. If you're talking about the orphan of the Zhao family, who else could it be besides me?"
Zhao Yunzhu raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of contempt.
It seemed as if the panic just now was just an illusion.
"Really? Since Concubine Yun is so certain, I can't continue to persuade her."
Song Shumin took a step forward, clearing the way for retreat, and smiled calmly, "But if the virtuous prince takes action, I wonder if the young lady of the Zhao family will still be alive."
"Since Concubine Yun, my only aunt, is willing to gamble her life..."
"Of course, there's no reason for me to persuade you again."
After saying that, Song Shumin turned around and took a step forward.
"Wait, I'll go!"
Zhao Yunzhu didn't notice the smug look on Song Shumin's lips after she turned around.
Yes, anyone can gamble, except her.
Linglong worriedly grabbed the young lady's arm.
But there is no way.
There were only the virtuous king and his wife, as well as Zhao Yunzhu, and no one else at the banquet.
The wise king put down the wine glass in his hand.
He glanced at Zhao Yunzhu, then stood up with satisfaction and said, "Let's go. Today, I will take you to see a good show."
"What a pity, Prince An is not here today, so we won't be able to see this wonderful show today."
The wise king strode away from the banquet.
Song Shumin and Zhao Yunzhu walked side by side.
Along the way, the three of them didn't speak again.
Zhao Yunzhu was invited by Song Shumin to ride in the carriage of Prince Xian's mansion, with Prince Xian riding in front.
The carriage curtains were nailed shut.
After an unknown amount of time, when the carriage stopped, Song Shumin finally looked at Zhao Yunzhu and smiled, "Concubine Yun, let's go and watch the show."
Zhao Yunzhu frowned and followed Song Shumin out of the carriage.
I saw the carriage parked in a dark dead end.
There were guards holding torches, and a servant was forced to kneel on the ground by two guards.
The wise king stood with his back straight, like a mountain, looking down at the servant kneeling on the ground.
"Your young general sent you back to report the news, right?"
The servant shook his head in fear. In the dim light, Zhao Yunzhu saw that the servant had a bruised face and nose, with blood stains on his lips.
"No, no, Your Highness has misunderstood. My Master just asked me to go back and tell Concubine Liu not to wait for my Master for dinner."
The servant's body was trembling, and even his voice was a little hoarse.
"I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. You are looking for death!" There was a hint of coldness in the wise king's eyes.
He turned his head and took the sword from the guard beside him.
The long sword shone with a cold light and made a crisp phoenix cry in the air.
The wise king held his sword against the servant's neck and said, "I don't have much patience. I have one last question for you. Will you tell me or not?"
He increased the strength of the sword in his hand.
The sharp sword cut a striking wound on the servant's neck, and bright red blood instantly flowed out along the sword.
The servant gasped in pain.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was more afraid of the aura of the wise king in front of him than the pain.
