Just because of the suspicion of the imperial power, the entire Zhao family died tragically. How could Concubine Yun treat them sincerely?
"My dear Miss, I have observed these days that His Highness is truly sincere in taking you with him..."
"Mammy, there's no need to say all this. I took contraceptive medicine earlier, so I'm unlikely to have children in this lifetime. Everything about the future is uncertain, so it's hard to say. Besides, if the wife comes home and gives birth to a legitimate child, how will I survive? His Highness treats me with love and affection now because he's new to me, but over time, he'll inevitably grow tired of me."
Zhao Yunzhu's voice sounded somewhat lonely, as if there was an invisible mist surrounding her.
Aunt Hua's heart sank when she heard this. Her eyes widened in shock, and she asked, "What? Miss, what did you say?"
Zhao Yunzhu pulled Nanny Hua to sit down and said, "I myself do not want to give birth to a descendant with royal blood. The bloodline of my Zhao family cannot be tarnished by the royal family!"
Her eyes were firm, revealing a tenacity that refused to give in.
Aunt Hua's eyes were red and her weathered cheeks were full of wrinkles. She used her old hands to stroke Zhao Yunzhu's pale cheeks again and again, with eyes full of heartache.
"Alas, the eldest lady has a hard life too,"
In the end, she could only say this, fearing that someone might have ears and spread the gossip about the royal family, putting the eldest lady in trouble.
"Mammy, it's okay. It's all over, and everything will be fine."
Zhao Yunzhu calmly comforted Aunt Hua.
Linglong and Yazhi also lowered their heads and wiped their tears secretly, not wanting the eldest lady to see them crying like this.
But when they think of what happened to the eldest lady, how could these servants not feel sad?
"Well, I called you here today because I have something to tell you. You're the only ones I can trust right now. If I were still hiding something from you, I wouldn't know who else to turn to."
Aunt Hua felt distressed after hearing this. She held Zhao Yunzhu's hand tightly and said, "Miss, please don't say such things. Even if you want to take my life, I will do it!"
"My lady, so am I."
"My lady, the same goes for this servant."
Linglong and Yazhi stood up with firm tones.
"My eldest brother's daughter, Your Highness helped to get her out of the death row. Now I entrust her to Madam Li."
Aunt Hua was shocked again, "Young lady is still alive?"
She had heard before that the eldest young master's wife gave birth to a baby girl in prison, but the baby died at birth.
"Miss, could it be that Matron Li was your wet nurse back then?"
Seeing the eldest lady nodded.
Aunt Hua quickly clasped her hands together, spoke eloquently, and repeatedly thanked all the gods and Buddhas for their protection.
Zhao Yunzhu, Linglong and Yazhi looked quite helpless.
"Mammy, Mammy Li is old now. I want you to help me find a suitable person to take her over. This will help relieve Mammy Li's burden and also allow Chun'er to gain more experience."
Aunt Hua frowned and pondered carefully.
After thinking about it, she couldn't find a suitable solution. "Miss, the people we find outside are not very reliable after all."
Aunt Hua fixed her eyes on Linglong and Yazhi. "I've been thinking that instead of going out to look for them, we might as well quietly send someone we trust over there."
Zhao Yunzhu had thought about this method, but she had no idea who to send.
After all, because of her, Linglong and Yazhi have grown old and still have no place to go.
After all, they had served her, and she didn't want them to blame her for it.
Chun'er is still young now. No matter who goes, I'm afraid she may not be able to get married again in this life.
How could Nanny Hua and the others not see her worry?
Linglong and Yazhi stood up together, and they both fought for the chance to go.
Aunt Hua sighed, feeling extremely relieved that this maid did not disappoint them after all.
But Zhao Yunzhu was in a dilemma for a moment, her eyes wandering back and forth between the two of them, not knowing who to choose.
"Young Miss, Linglong is steady and intelligent, while Yazhi is lively and energetic. They both studied with you for a few years."
Aunt Hua expressed her opinion, and her eyes finally fell on Yazhi.
"Miss Chun'er lives in the countryside after all, so let Yazhi go over there."
Aunt Hua is old, so her thoughts and concerns are naturally much more thorough than theirs.
On the second day, Yazhi packed her bags and walked out of the Ninth Prince's residence with the address written down by the eldest lady.
Manager Xu did not stop him.
After Du Jiaojiao recovered, she made a scene, but no one paid any attention to her and there was no familiar servant around her.
Instead, it became quiet.
Zhao Yunzhu was copying calligraphy in the room when Linglong lifted the curtain and peeked in, "Concubine Yun, the Li family doctor is here."
Zhao Yunzhu just remembered the order given by Emperor Qin Zong earlier, and asked someone to invite Doctor Li into the main hall. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the main hall.
"Concubine Yun." Doctor Li bowed respectfully.
"Doctor Li, please sit down."
The maid brought hot tea, and she smiled and said, "Doctor Li, my condition has been treated with the imperial physician's words. Your Highness is making things difficult for you, so please don't take it to heart. Your Highness is not at home right now, so Doctor Li doesn't need to come. When Your Highness returns, I will have a good talk with him so that you don't waste your time and effort."
"Concubine Yun, I will do my best to try what Your Highness has instructed me to do. I don't want Your Highness's hopes to be dashed. Moreover, Concubine Yun, there is no need to be so discouraged. Everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. I think there must be a way to remedy the situation, but it has not been discovered yet. How about Concubine Yun, let me give it a try?"
Doctor Li spoke tactfully, and neither his words nor his words showed any intention of giving up.
These days, he has studied many medical techniques, and although he has not found a solution yet, how can he know if there is really no solution without trying?
Zhao Yunzhu looked at Doctor Li, and seeing his firm attitude, she was unwilling to say anything more.
Let's just leave it to God's will.
Seeing that she was willing to cooperate, Doctor Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Patient cooperation is the best thing for doctors.
He gestured to Zhao Yunzhu to put her wrist on the table, and Nanny Hua took a handkerchief and placed it on the wrist of Concubine Yun that was exposed by her right sleeve.
The door of the room was open, and the thick curtain that kept out the cold wind was carefully rolled up and hung in the air by the maid.
The gate of Lanxiang Garden is now open.
Doctor Li closed his eyes and carefully took her pulse. His old fingers moved on the handkerchief tied around her wrist.
Doctor Li's brows sometimes furrowed, and sometimes relaxed.
Sometimes he looks solemn, sometimes he looks calm.
Aunt Hua saw the look on Doctor Li's face and felt very nervous and uneasy.
Sometimes I thought Concubine Yun's aunt could recover, and sometimes I thought there was no way.
The complex emotions made her uneasy.
After a cup of tea, I saw that Doctor Li was still taking my pulse.
Aunt Hua was so anxious that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
He wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing Dr. Li.
Fortunately, as Doctor Li withdrew his hand and opened his eyes, Zhao Yunzhu pulled the sleeve of her wrist.
"Doctor Li, how is my Concubine Yun's health?"
