After waiting for a long time, there was no news coming back, and Zhao Yunzhu became extremely anxious.
The hourglass on the table had only passed one-fifth of the time when Aunt Hua sighed softly and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, young lady. Everything will be fine. I will go out and take a look."
Zhao Yunzhu held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, frowned, looked at Aunt Hua and nodded.
Aunt Hua returned disappointed, and Zhao Yunzhu had no choice but to continue waiting anxiously.
The moon was high in the sky. Zhao Yunzhu looked out at the night and asked, "Madam, what time is it now?"
"My lady, it is now the end of midnight."
"It's been an hour, could it be that..." A sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart.
The words were on the tip of her tongue but she swallowed them back. She shook her head and said, "I shouldn't have thought too much. Everything will be fine. It will succeed."
Her eyes were fixed on the door.
He gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged from the force he used.
The joints are distinct and the fingertips are faintly white.
But she didn't notice any of this.
Linglong brought the tea forward, but before she could say anything, Zhao Yunzhu raised her hand to stop her. She had no appetite for tea at the moment.
The yard was completely silent, and Zhao Yunzhu could clearly hear her own heart beating.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy footsteps in the quiet yard. Zhao Yunzhu felt relieved and stood up suddenly and walked towards the door.
Aunt Hua and Linglong hurriedly followed.
"Concubine Yun."
The footsteps reached the door and stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of the guard knocking gently on the door.
"Come in."
Linglong walked forward, opened the door, lifted the curtain, and welcomed the guard at the door in.
The guard was dusty and bent slightly, bowing his head in salute.
"Concubine Yun."
"How is it?"
"Everything has been arranged properly, Concubine Yun, please rest assured."
After hearing the satisfactory result, Zhao Yunzhu's heart finally settled down.
"Have you dealt with both Mother Ding and her husband?"
The guard nodded and said, "The body has been thrown into the mass grave outside the city."
"Okay, I understand. You can leave first."
Aunt Hua personally escorted the guard out the door. Only then did Zhao Yunzhu realize that her legs were weak and every step she took felt like she was walking on cotton.
Linglong hurried forward to support him.
"Miss, you can finally rest assured now." Linglong sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Yunzhu replied weakly, "Yes, now I can finally put my mind at ease."
The guards took Chun'er all the way to a village a hundred miles away for resettlement. This time, even Zhao Yunzhu didn't know about it, but the people sent to follow her were extremely loyal and reliable.
Right now she had important things to deal with, so she just ordered someone to bring Chun'er back in half a year, and during this period, the people who protected Chun'er were not allowed to contact anyone. In this way, she was completely relieved.
She sat on the low kang, her eyes wandering. Perhaps she had been tense all these days and now she finally relaxed.
People suddenly lose all their energy and spirit.
Linglong brought a cup of hot tea over. She took a sip, and her cold body was instantly wrapped in a warm current.
She leaned back lazily, and Linglong quickly took out a soft pillow to support her young lady's back.
Nanny Hua came back to tell them that everyone had already been sent away.
Only then did she lie down and rest.
Thinking of Mother Ding, Zhao Yunzhu did not feel any guilt in her heart. If it were not for her grandmother's kindness, how could Mother Ding have such a stable life?
Although she is a little silly, she always has to pay for her own mistakes.
Instead of using the label of stupidity to make excuses for your mistakes and pay for them.
Chun'er almost lost her life because of her, and dozens of people in Lijia Village also lost their lives because of her stupidity.
Aren’t the people who died unjustly in Lijia Village innocent?
Therefore, Mother Ding and her man must die!
However, Zhao Yunzhu had never expected that the letter from Prince Xian's Mansion would arrive so quickly.
While she was having breakfast, a servant came in in a panic and told her that Princess Xian, Song Shumin, had arrived.
"Take Princess Xian to the flower hall and wait. I'll be there soon."
"yes."
The maid responded and then retreated.
Zhao Yunzhu changed her clothes with the help of her maid, and then took her people to the flower hall.
When they arrived at the flower hall, they saw the servants waiting outside the corridor, even Song Shumin's maid was waiting outside the flower hall.
Zhao Yunzhu signaled Linglong to send the servants away before she walked into the flower hall.
"Princess Xian."
"Concubine Yun."
Song Shumin was originally sitting and drinking tea. When she saw her coming, she stood up and went forward to greet her.
The two men greeted each other.
"Why did Princess Xian find time to come here today?"
Zhao Yunzhu gestured for her to sit down and talk. Song Shumin sat down without any hesitation. There was a hint of coldness in her cold eyes. "Concubine Yun is indeed very powerful. It really opened my eyes."
Zhao Yunzhu smiled and met Song Shumin's mocking gaze, "How can you be compared with the virtuous princess?"
"Zhao Yunzhu, what good will it do even if you rescue your niece? The virtuous king never gives up until he achieves his goal."
Song Shumin sneered, a hint of warning in her eyes.
Zhao Yunzhu didn't take Song Shumin's warning to heart. "Song Shumin, what does the virtuous king want to do? I don't need to tell you, we all know it. How could he have the time to worry about such insignificant things?"
"Now that Empress Dowager Liu is gone, the Emperor and the Liu family are already at odds. If you want to get close to the Emperor, you don't need my help to achieve your goal."
"I won't interfere with what you want to do. After all, Prince An is far away at the border fighting the enemy, and I'm alone in Chang'an, so how can I have the mind to think about anything else? I just don't want my niece to get hurt."
"I don't need to explain the current situation to you and your Majesty. You and I both know it well. Instead of wasting time with me, it's better to prepare early."
Zhao Yunzhu looked at Song Shumin with a meaningful smile and saw a flash of surprise in her eyes.
She curled her lips and sneered, "Since you've come to my house today, I won't hide it from you. The lives of my entire Zhao family are at stake. Do you think I care about the safety of the Qin family?"
"More than anyone else, I hope the Qin family will turn against each other for the throne."
Zhao Yunzhu sneered and fixed his gaze on Song Shumin.
"madman!"
Song Shumin didn't expect that Zhao Yunzhu could be so straightforward and frank in telling her what she was thinking.
A sense of fear inexplicably rose in my heart.
She stood up and left quickly, but Zhao Yunzhu actually saw a hint of panic in her hurriedly fleeing back.
Is he so bold? He actually came to question her today?
Zhao Yunzhu didn't take Song Shumin to heart.
"Tell someone to keep an eye on Prince Xian's mansion. I want to see what Prince Xian is going to do."
