Zhao Yunzhu sarcastically said, "Now that I have no connection with the Marquis' Mansion anymore, there is naturally no need for me to observe mourning for the Crown Prince as his consort."
The cold winter wind, like a hard vine, lashed Zhao Yunzhu's face again and again.
She just felt that the cold wind made her feel very cold.
When the pearl buttons on the plain dress were unbuttoned one by one, a dazzling bright red color was revealed.
Zhao Yunzhu tore off her plain clothes and threw them at the nanny.
"From now on, I, Zhao Yunzhu, will have nothing to do with the Yong'an Marquisate!"
When the nanny saw the red dress she was wearing, she looked dissatisfied and was about to scold her, but Zhao Yunzhu had already turned and left.
A few months ago, the emperor was poisoned.
The prince stayed by the emperor's bed without taking off his clothes, and this guard lasted for more than a month.
Perhaps the prince's filial piety moved the gods, and the imperial doctors all shook their heads and sighed that the emperor would not live long.
But the emperor recovered thanks to the prince's dedicated care.
After the emperor recovered, the first thing he did was to order people to search the prince's residence.
The investigation revealed that the prince had formed a clique for personal gain, intending to poison the emperor and usurp the throne.
The government and the public were in uproar.
Her grandfather was the Grand Tutor, and her father was the Prime Minister, both of whom assisted the Crown Prince with due diligence.
This was because his father risked his life in the court and asked the emperor to re-examine the case and clear the name of the wronged prince.
That day, the emperor ordered people to search Zhao's house and found a book of poems written by her father while drunk in his study.
This was used to accuse her father of disrespecting imperial power.
From then on, all members of the Zhao family were thrown into prison, without exception.
Zhao Yunzhu was shocked to hear the bad news and ran to her mother's family, but it was of no use.
She begged her husband's family several times, but no one helped her.
Until she received the news that her fiancé Du Ming'an, who had gone to war on her wedding day and had not been seen for three years, had died in battle.
She had no one to rely on in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
After her family fell into trouble, her mother-in-law, who had treated her like a mother and daughter before, became unwell and went to live in seclusion in the village.
Her father-in-law, Marquis Yong'an, even refused to see her.
Zhao Yunzhu looked at the long street, which seemed to have no end in sight.
Right now, she has nowhere to go.
The bone-chilling cold wind seemed to fill my entire body from the top of my head.
My legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with molten iron.
There was endless sadness and confusion in his eyes.
"Hey, Zhao Yunzhu, you look so distraught. Could it be that you were kicked out of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion?"
The sound of hurried horse hooves came from behind.
The man's cold and sarcastic voice fell into Zhao Yunzhu's ears.
It was the ninth prince, the most favored by the emperor right now—Qin Zongzhi!
Zhao Yunzhu bit her lip and glared at Qin Zongzhi fiercely.
He is closely related to the injustice done to the prince!
"Zhao Yunzhu, what's wrong? Are you mute? Weren't you quite talkative before?"
Qin Zong got off his horse, his dark robe swaying slightly. In his deep eyes, there was a fear that was hard to fathom.
Everyone thought that the ninth prince, Qin Zongzhi, was a kind person.
But she knew that Qin Zongzhi was definitely not a good person.
Beneath his kind and righteous appearance, he hides a bloodthirsty and ruthless beast.
Therefore, she never liked to get close to Qin Zongzhi.
"stop!"
Zhao Yunzhu turned around and tried to leave when a huge force suddenly grabbed her arm.
"Zhao Yunzhu, I heard that your sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl in prison today."
Qin Zongzhi suddenly let go and crossed his arms.
But his words made Zhao Yunzhu's heart sink.
My sister-in-law has given birth?
My eldest brother and his wife have been married for many years. They are a loving and harmonious couple, but they have always had difficulty having children.
I had this baby at the beginning of the year, but I didn’t expect that the Zhao family would cause such a disaster.
"Qin Zongzhi, don't forget. If it weren't for me, you would have frozen to death or starved to death on the streets!"
Qin Zongzhi, who was originally in a relaxed mood, suddenly heard Zhao Yunzhu mention the past.
His face changed suddenly.
"Qin Zongzhi, I only hate myself. I shouldn't have saved you, such an ungrateful person!"
Seeing Qin Zongzhi's face gradually showing irritation.
Zhao Yunzhu raised the corner of her lips and stepped closer, "So what if you are the favored Ninth Prince now?"
"But you still can't get rid of it. Before you were ten years old, you were a ridiculous, pathetic, and pitiful beggar on Chang'an Street, bullied by everyone!"
Qin Zongzhi's mother was born a palace maid and had no family background.
When she was about to give birth, she was just a noble man.
Qin Zongzhi was exiled from the palace since birth, and the palace announced to the outside world that the ninth prince died young.
One year, she went out for a trip and happened to run into Qin Zongzhi, who was starving and almost dying.
He had a shriveled body, unkempt hair and a dirty face.
A pair of black eyes revealed endless sadness.
She ordered someone to give him money, and then secretly asked someone to take care of him at all times.
It was not until Qin Zongzhi was found and brought back to the palace that she recognized him at a palace banquet.
But she didn't mention Qin Zongzhi's past to anyone.
Who could have expected that the person she had saved out of kindness in the past would end up being such a selfish person.
"So what? Doesn't this prince still have the power to control the wind and rain?"
"Zhao Yunzhu, I don't think your niece will live long..."
Qin Zongzhi raised the corners of his lips, and Zhao Yunzhu raised her eyes.
Plop!
Qin Zongzhi looked at the girl who was kneeling in front of him unexpectedly.
She was wearing a bright red dress and had a white silk flower pinned in her tied-up black hair.
It's an eyesore.
He raised his hand and stepped forward, and Zhao Yunzhu looked confused.
Qin Zongzhi slowly took off the white silk flower she had pinned on her hair.
Carelessly playing with it on the bony fingertips.
"Zhao Yunzhu, how about you come with me and I help you rescue your niece?"
Qin Zongzhi's gaze was completely fixed on the white silk flower, and his tone was tinged with a playful amusement that lured people to explore.
