Her fingers were sewing quickly, but even though she was so busy, she would still look up at the young lady on the bed from time to time, for fear that she would not notice when the young lady woke up.
The next second, Linglonghi saw her young lady wake up. She quickly dropped her needlework, stood up, and walked over to her. "Young lady, are you awake? Do you want to eat something?"
Aunt Hua was a light sleeper to begin with, and she was suddenly awakened by Linglong's voice. She looked up and saw that her young lady had already sat up from the bed.
She stood up and went forward to help her young lady put on her coat. "Young lady, you slept all day."
Zhao Yunzhu then vaguely recalled everything she had experienced yesterday, "Mammy, is there any news about Chun'er?"
She grabbed Aunt Hua's arm, her eyes filled with anxiety and nervousness.
Aunt Hua was stunned for a moment, her eyes darkened, "Miss, eat something first. Maybe news about Miss Chun'er will be delivered soon."
Zhao Yunzhu pulled her hand back weakly and lowered her eyes.
Although she had anticipated this outcome, she still had a glimmer of hope.
He got up, washed up, and sat down to eat the food brought by the servants, but his mind was full of worry about his niece Chun'er.
Although she had no appetite, she still forced herself to eat half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of chicken soup.
She knew that she couldn't fall down now. If she fell down, who could Chun'er rely on?
After dinner, she got up and walked to the low kang by the window and sat down, holding a travel book in her hand.
From time to time, he looked up and out the window.
It was dark outside, the candlelight in the house was bright, and her slightly haggard shadow was reflected on the window.
"Miss, I'm back."
Aunt Hua lifted the curtain and walked into the house, a rare hint of lightness on her face, "You're back!"
Zhao Yunzhu's heart tightened and he put the travel notes in his hand on the table.
She raised her eyes and looked towards the door. "Mammy, please send someone in to answer the question."
Aunt Hua nodded, responded, and walked outside.
When she turned back again, she was followed by the leading guard who had gone out to protect Zhao Yunzhu's safety last night.
The guard bowed and said, "Princess Yunce."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yunzhu raised her hand to signal the guard not to be polite, and hurriedly asked about the business.
The guard's face was solemn as he replied, "Concubine Yun, all seventy-six people in Lijia Village were murdered by the virtuous prince's men, and their bodies were thrown into the river. The government officials remained silent on the matter, and have instead spread the story that Lijia Village was plundered by bandits."
Zhao Yunzhu had already anticipated this result.
If the matter had not been properly dealt with long ago, how could the wise king dare to take human lives so lightly and kill people indiscriminately?
She clenched one hand into a fist and banged it hard on the table, her brows furrowed tightly.
"What about the Li family and the baby girl?"
"Replying to Concubine Yun, I haven't found anything yet..."
The people sent to Prince Xian’s Mansion came back to report that no one had entered Prince Xian’s Mansion in the past few days, let alone a baby girl?
"Okay, I understand. Have someone keep a close eye on Prince Xian's Mansion. If you have any news, report back to me immediately."
Watch the guard leave.
Zhao Yunzhu's heart became heavier and heavier. After much thought, she decided to go to Prince Xian's Mansion first.
Looking out the window at the yard, I saw the branches of trees reflected on the bluestone floor and fell into deep thought.
Aunt Hua and Linglong stood by quietly.
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Princess Yunce, can I come in?"
Zhao Yunzhu raised her eyes and looked towards the door, then she remembered Yun'er whom she brought back from Lijia Village.
Hearing a slightly uneasy voice, she replied, "Yun'er, come in."
Linglong walked to the door and led Yun'er into the room.
Yun'er followed Sister Linglong obediently. She was now wearing a light pink dress, which was given to her by Sister Linglong.
"Princess Yunce." Yun'er walked up to Zhao Yunzhu and saluted awkwardly.
These are the new rules she learned from Aunt Hua today.
Zhao Yunzhu stretched out her hand to beckon Yun'er to come to her. Yun'er walked forward woodenly. Zhao Yunzhu smiled slightly and raised her hand to signal Yun'er to sit down next to her and talk.
Yun'er looked at Aunt Hua hesitantly, fearing that she didn't know the rules and would make a fool of herself.
Seeing Aunt Hua smiling and nodding at her, she walked forward and sat next to Concubine Yunce.
But she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Fold your hands on your knees.
"Yun'er, don't be afraid." Zhao Yunzhu noticed her strangeness and took her hand with a smile. "Why aren't you sleeping so late?"
"I can't sleep." Yun'er raised her head and looked at Concubine Yunce with a sincere face, "I'm worried that I will cause trouble for Concubine Yunce..."
"I'm also worried that Concubine Yunce will chase me away."
The further she spoke, the lower her voice became. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Concubine Yunce, and afraid to hear Concubine Yunce's answer.
How could Zhao Yunzhu not see the fear and confusion in Yun'er's heart?
He has experienced so much at such a young age.
He sighed softly and reached out to ruffle Yun'er's hair. "Don't worry, Yun'er. You can live here peacefully in the future. You and I have some fate. When you grow up, I will help you find a good marriage."
After hearing this, Yun'er raised her head in panic, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety, and she shook her head like a rattle, "Yun'er doesn't want to get married. Yun'er wants to avenge her aunt!"
Zhao Yunzhu actually saw burning hatred on the little girl's face.
She was greatly surprised and shocked.
But there were many things she didn't know how to tell Yun'er.
Can she fight against the Xianwang Mansion alone?
I'm afraid it's impossible in this lifetime.
But she didn't want to pour cold water on Yun'er. "Yun'er, we all hope that you can live well. Leave the matter of revenge to me, the adult, okay?"
"Concubine Yun——"
"Yun'er, you must be obedient. Since you chose to follow me back, I will be your sister in the future. If you recognize me as your sister, then you must listen to me obediently."
Zhao Yunzhu's face was heavy and his tone was serious.
Yun'er seemed to understand but not quite, but she still nodded obediently in response.
"Concubine Yun——"
"Yun'er, why don't you change your words? From now on, you will call me Sister Yun."
Yun'er hesitated for a moment, and finally changed her words obediently, "Sister Yun."
Zhao Yunzhu smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
The next morning, she sent someone to deliver a visiting card to Princess Xian.
In just half an hour, the reply arrived, and Princess Xian Song Shumin invited her to come to her house for tea the next day.
Aunt Hua looked at the gold-plated invitation in Concubine Yun Ce's hand with a worried look on her face. "Young lady, are you really going?"
"Well, let's go to the bottom, so I can feel at ease."
These days, Prince An's Mansion secretly sent many people out to investigate, but there was no news of Chun'er.
This matter cannot be brought to the table.
Instead, the government office quickly revealed the person behind the assassination of Zhao Yunzhu that day.
