Seeing her look of shock, the eunuch spoke again, "The Emperor knows that the Empress Dowager has summoned you and is worried about you, so he sent me to take you away from the Empress Dowager's palace so that you can escape."
"Please go back and convey my gratitude to the Emperor."
Zhao Yunzhu did not say goodbye to the eunuchs before leaving the palace and got into the carriage.
Linglong came forward, thinking of Princess Liu, and her heart was filled with complaints. "I don't know why Princess Liu insisted on asking you to be Young Master Du's godmother, and even went to the Queen Mother to beg you to agree."
“This is simply too much!”
Linglong couldn't stop complaining.
This made Zhao Yunzhu, who was very angry before, now she was amused by Linglong.
"We'll know sooner or later anyway, there's no rush, let's just wait patiently."
Zhao Yunzhu was certain that this matter was not over yet.
After all, Princess Liu will not give up until she achieves her goal.
This made him even more certain that Princess Liu would definitely do something next.
I just don't know what else she will do.
All this made her particularly curious.
She didn't have to wait long.
The carriage just stopped at Prince An's Mansion, and Zhao Yunzhu was helped out of the carriage by Linglong.
When she saw the young man standing in front of Prince An's mansion, her heart tightened.
The person who came was none other than Du Mingan.
He was wearing a royal blue robe, with a straight figure and his hands behind his back. He slowly turned around, and the bright sunlight shone on him, making the young man dazzling.
Du Ming'an saw Zhao Yunzhu, wearing a purple brocade dress, getting off the carriage against the sunlight.
The small pearl tassels hanging from the red gold headpiece cast light and shadow on her fair face.
His heart tightened, and his frozen heart melted in an instant.
His hot heartbeat was beating in his chest again.
His face felt inexplicably hot, and he lowered his eyes to hide the heat that shouldn't be there again. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes again. His eyes had returned to calmness.
Everything seemed to happen in an instant, and he quietly hid his thoughts that should not have existed deep in his heart.
"Concubine Yun."
"Young Master Du?"
Zhao Yunzhu was very surprised by his sudden appearance, "Let's talk inside."
It was inappropriate to talk while standing at the door.
Du Ming'an nodded, took a step back, let her walk in front, and he followed her carefully, protecting her.
"I just arrived. I heard that you were invited into the palace by the Queen Mother. I was planning to come back tomorrow, but I was about to leave when I saw you back."
Du Mingan explained casually.
Zhao Yunzhu nodded gently, "The Queen Mother invited me into the palace today because of the matter concerning Princess Liu."
"oh?"
Du Ming'an felt suspicious after hearing this.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the front hall, and Zhao Yunzhu gestured for him to sit down and talk.
The maid served some tea and snacks before leaving.
Zhao Yunzhu took off the light purple cloak she was holding out, and Linglong stepped forward and handed the cloak to the little maid, asking her to put the cloak back in the room first.
She took a cushion and spread it on the chair, and placed a soft pillow behind it.
Everything was ready, and Linglong helped the young lady to sit down.
Du Mingan looked at it hesitantly.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master Du. I'm in a bad shape right now, so the maids have to be more cautious than usual in everything."
As soon as Zhao Yunzhu sat down, she raised her hand and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly.
When Du Ming'an saw this scene, he felt as if someone had torn a hole in his heart for some unknown reason. The huge sense of loss seemed to swallow him up completely bit by bit.
A feeling of powerlessness arises spontaneously.
He raised the corners of his lips, but even the smile on his lips revealed a hint of powerlessness and helplessness.
"Congratulations."
There were so many words stuck on the tip of my tongue that I ended up saying something against my will.
"Thank you very much."
Zhao Yunzhu's smile revealed gratitude from the bottom of her heart.
Du Mingan shook his head and asked, "I wonder what the Crown Princess requested?"
Zhao Yunzhu pursed her lips, thought for a while, and finally told her, "Prince Liu's wife wanted Young Master Du to let me be her godmother. I didn't agree, so she went to the Queen Mother to ask..."
She didn't say anything else because Du Mingan had already guessed it.
"By the way, where did Young Master Du go before? Why is he back now?"
"I previously went to Shu on behalf of the emperor and took over the military power there."
"Sichuan land?"
It is about six or seven hundred miles away from Chang'an.
Moreover, the emperor kept this matter so secret that no one knew about it.
Seeing her curiosity, Du Ming'an didn't think of hiding it from her. He simply completed the mission and just waited for him to sort out the documents before sending them to the emperor to report.
"Shu has an army of 100,000 men. The Emperor ordered me to take over the command of those 100,000 men. I returned this time because the affairs in Shu have been settled. I am returning to Chang'an to report."
"Doesn't that mean we'll all stay in Shu from now on?"
Zhao Yunzhu subconsciously became nervous and tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand.
There was a hint of nervousness in his anxious tone.
Coming to her senses, she realized something was wrong and sat down again in frustration, trying to hide her panic.
"Well, I'll probably be able to stay for about a month this time. Later..."
Du Mingan's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to Chang'an."
Although she already knew the result, Zhao Yunzhu still felt inexplicably sad when she heard him say that.
"That's great. I'm afraid your future will be even better."
Zhao Yunzhu forced a smile, not wanting to make him worry.
Du Mingan nodded, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.
"Don't worry about the Crown Princess's affairs, I will take care of it."
As he spoke to her, he picked up the teacup in his hand and drank the tea in one gulp.
Prince An was not in Chang'an. Because of his previous relationship with Zhao Yunzhu, he could not stay for long, for fear of causing trouble for her.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Du Mingan put the teacup on the table and stood up to say goodbye.
Zhao Yunzhu ordered the steward to escort him out of the house.
When she went back, the words she had just said to Ming An kept echoing in her mind.
He is going to Shu.
After all, he has now taken over the 100,000-strong army in Shu under the emperor's instructions.
But why did the emperor want Du Ming'an to take over Shu's 100,000 troops?
Zhao Yunzhu has been unable to figure this out for a long time.
She shook her head helplessly, smiled bitterly and returned to the yard.
"Linglong, tell someone to keep an eye on Young Master Du and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."
In the end, he was still worried that Du Ming'an would cause trouble with the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.
Because he said that in order to resolve this matter, he wanted Princess Liu to die early so that she could become Young Master Du's godmother.
Fortunately, everything is calm these days.
Because no one bothered her anymore.
Zhao Yunzhu put the matter behind her.
"Miss, I heard that Young Master Du was appointed as the Grand General."
Linglong ran back and told the young lady the news.
