"After all, General Du has already announced that he doesn't care about or want the position of Crown Prince of Yong'an Marquisate."
Zhao Yunzhu analyzed.
Old Lady Du wanted her eldest son to compromise, and used filial piety to pressure Marquis Yong'an, hoping that Marquis Yong'an would compromise.
But this time, Mrs. Du made a complete mistake.
Because she had already lived in the manor for more than ten days, Marquis Yong'an had no intention of sending anyone to pick up his son.
Everyone in Chang'an was talking about the joke of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The one-month deadline arrived in a blink of an eye, and Du Mingan quietly left Chang'an.
…
Zhao Yunzhu woke up early in the morning and sat in front of the dressing table. Aunt Hua was doing her makeup.
"Mammy, what happened today?" Zhao Yunzhu saw from the bronze mirror that Mammy Hua was worried.
"Ah." Madam Hua sighed and placed the comb on the table. "Miss, I heard that General Du left early this morning before daybreak."
"Gone?"
Zhao Yunzhu's eyes dimmed slightly, and there was an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
He left Chang'an without saying goodbye to her. After this farewell, he was afraid they would never see each other again.
"Yeah, that's fine."
She turned around, picked up the comb from the dressing table and handed it to Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua took the comb and combed the young lady's hair.
Zhao Yunzhu looked at the lifeless face in the carved bronze mirror, and felt inexplicably melancholy.
Du Mingan leaving Chang'an is the best outcome for him at the moment.
She was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
"Mammy, has the prince sent any letters back these days?"
Only then did she suddenly remember that it seemed like she hadn't received a letter from Qin Zongzhi for a long time.
Counting the days, I think he should be here by now.
The dangers of the battlefield are ever-changing.
She hasn't been sleeping well these days.
The flesh on his cheeks seems to be much less these days than before.
Nanny Hua paused as she combed her hair with a mahogany comb, her eyes gradually wandering. "My dear, I haven't received it yet. But according to the date, the prince should be arriving soon. I think the letter will be delivered soon."
That afternoon.
Prince An's letter home was delivered.
Zhao Yunzhu was lying on the kang to keep warm, covered with a silver-gray fox fur cloak, her hands clasped in muffs embroidered with peach blossoms.
Charcoal braziers had been placed in all four corners of the room, and even a pot of charcoal fire was placed next to the kang.
But she still felt cold.
Aunt Hua brought the letter home with a smile. The room was warm, but she saw that Zhao Yunzhu still shrank her neck.
She stepped forward quickly, her face filled with worry, "Miss, do you want to ask the Li family doctor to come and take a look?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Zhao Yunzhu's forehead. Seeing nothing unusual, except that her eyes looked more tired, he asked, "Miss, do you still feel unwell?"
Zhao Yunzhu forced a wry smile and shook her head weakly. She pulled her hand away and took the letter from Nanny Hua. She smiled wryly and said, "I think it's because I haven't been sleeping well lately. I don't feel anything wrong with my body, but for some reason, I feel cold all over."
As she spoke, she had already slowly opened the letter in her hand.
The letter from Prince An told her not to worry and that he was fine.
Tell her to take good care of herself and the child.
The letters from home were filled with numerous warnings and concerns for her, without a single word about the situation on the battlefield.
But the more he tried to whitewash the situation, the more uneasy Zhao Yunzhu felt.
I'm afraid the battle this time will be dangerous.
Zhao Yunzhu frowned, and the worry in her heart became heavier.
But what can she do now?
Apart from taking good care of herself and not distracting him, she didn't know what else she could do.
Nanny Hua was still worried, so she invited Dr. Li from the mansion.
Upon hearing that Zhao Yunzhu was not feeling well, Doctor Li frowned, picked up his medicine box and hurried over.
Before anyone arrived, an anxious voice came in, "Girl, what's going on?"
The maid lifted the curtain, and Doctor Li rushed in. Nanny Hua followed behind him, "Doctor Li, go slower, don't scare my daughter."
It was Aunt Hua's reminder that brought Doctor Li back to his senses.
He slowed down his pace. Zhao Yunzhu smiled helplessly, "I'm fine. Don't be nervous."
"Girl, you are not alone now. If you feel unwell, send someone to call me over as soon as possible. Don't delay."
There was a hint of reproach in Doctor Li's tone as he put down the medicine box while speaking.
Zhao Yunzhu stretched out her hand and let the doctor from the Li Mansion treat her.
Seeing the frown on Doctor Li's face gradually relax and his worried eyes gradually calm down, Zhao Yunzhu felt relieved. "How is Doctor Li?"
Doctor Li heaved a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew his hand from taking the patient's pulse. "It's okay, it's okay."
"Girl, you've been worried too much lately, which has caused you to be afraid of the cold. I'll prescribe some food tonic for you."
Nanny Hua, who was standing behind Doctor Li, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Zhao Yunzhu had no appetite, Doctor Li ordered someone to make some hawthorn cakes and send them to her, which helped her to have some appetite.
Within two days, Zhao Yunzhu's body gradually recovered.
It is almost the end of the year and festive lanterns have been hung on Chang'an Avenue early.
Zhao Yunzhu suddenly became interested and wanted to take a stroll along the long street.
"Mammy, I heard that lanterns have been hung all over the long street. Let's go for a walk tomorrow night."
Zhao Yunzhu's face was full of anticipation.
Aunt Hua paused while embroidering a handkerchief. She looked up and saw her daughter's expectant face. The words of advice she wanted to give seemed to be stuck in her throat.
There's enough bad stuff going on these days.
It was a rare occasion that her daughter wanted to go out for a walk, how could she bear to refuse?
After a lot of thought and struggle, she finally overcame her rationality and responded with a smile, "It's rare for a young lady to have such thoughts, so let's go out for a walk. It's good for the young lady to relax."
When the steward heard that Concubine Yunce wanted to go out of the house to see the lanterns.
While being anxious, he arranged for people to serve.
Prince An is not in Chang'an now, and Concubine Yunce is having sex with another woman.
There are more and more people on Lantern Street these days.
The steward secretly arranged guards and transferred twelve guards from the mansion to guard the front and back of the carriage.
Everything was ready. Zhao Yunzhu took a maid, two older maids and three younger maids, got on the carriage and headed towards the Lantern Street.
There are more and more people on Chang'an Avenue recently.
Zhao Yunzhu sat in the carriage and looked through the curtain at the bustling street.
I guess I'll have to get off the carriage early.
"There are so many people following us, Ma'am, there's no need to worry so much." Zhao Yunzhu lowered the carriage curtain and saw Ma'am Hua's heavy expression. She couldn't help but smile and sigh, "Ma'am, it's a rare opportunity for you to come out. Let's have some fun."
Aunt Hua didn't want to spoil her young lady's fun, so she smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you today."
There was still some distance to the Lantern Street, and the carriage was already at a point where it could hardly move forward.
Zhao Yunzhu and his men got off the carriage.
