Zhao Yunzhu hugged the baby tightly in her arms and looked at the maid beside her with caution.
"Who is the master behind you? What does he want to do?!"
By now the carriage had already left Chang'an.
"Don't worry, young lady. This is the Ninth Prince's intention."
The maid hurried to comfort her. At this moment, the carriage had stopped.
The maid raised her hand and pointed at the farm outside the curtain. This farm was at the foot of the mountain and secretly belonged to the Ninth Prince.
Not many people outside know the real owner of this house. It is vaguely heard that he is a nobleman in Chang'an, and few people from nearby come here.
I was afraid that I would accidentally offend this noble person and bring trouble to my family.
Zhao Yunzhu still had no intention of getting off the carriage.
"Miss, there's no need for me to lie to you. His Highness said that he would let you stay here for a while..."
There was some sympathy in the maid's eyes.
What is Zhao Yunzhu still confused about now?
The confused eyes gradually regained their rationality, and the Zhao family executed him two days later.
Qin Zongzhi didn't want her to see it.
She frowned, something fell from the corner of her eyes, and she felt cold.
After getting off the carriage, I saw a group of people standing at the door of the manor, seemingly waiting for guests.
"Miss, this is the wet nurse and servants that His Highness has prepared to serve the young lady."
The maidservant explained.
Zhao Yunzhu responded indifferently, and the wet nurse stepped forward, bowed, and prepared to take the child away.
Zhao Yunzhu instinctively took two steps back, hugged the swaddling clothes tightly in her hands, and looked at the old woman in front of her with a fierce look.
"Don't be afraid, young lady. I am the young lady's wet nurse. I have never given birth to a child, so how can I understand the ins and outs of raising a child?"
"Miss, I'm afraid the child is hungry. Leave him to me, I hope the young lady won't starve."
The wet nurse noticed Zhao Yunzhu's vigilance but did not take it to heart.
Instead, he explained to Zhao Yunzhu in a calm tone and with a smile.
She was an experienced person and could tell at a glance that the girl in front of her had never given birth.
This child must not be Zhao Yunzhu's.
Her duty is to breastfeed the baby.
The rest had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to anger her master and bring herself into trouble.
Just at this moment, the baby in Zhao Yunzhu's arms let out a weak cry.
She was at a loss.
The maidservant who was accompanying her stepped forward and advised, "Don't worry, young lady. The people are all carefully selected by His Highness to serve you."
"The girl doesn't know how to breastfeed the child, so it's better to let the wet nurse take care of her. Don't let the little lady starve."
Zhao Yunzhuhong came back to her senses, pursed her lips, and finally made a decision in her heart to give the child to the wet nurse.
"Thank you for your help."
The maid took Zhao Yunzhu downstairs to wash.
"I don't know your name yet?"
Zhao Yunzhu was lying in the bathtub, with a maid behind her helping her wash and comb her clothes.
The heat gradually relaxed her tense mind a little.
"My name is Xiao Min."
"How long have you been following the Ninth Prince?"
"Five or six years."
“…”
The two chatted casually.
Zhao Yunzhu just learned that Xiao Min came from the palace and was bullied by nobles when she was young. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince saved her life and took her back to the Ninth Prince's residence from the palace.
When Zhao Yunzhu was not around, she was responsible for cleaning the Ninth Prince's study all day.
After Zhao Yunzhu came, her task became to take care of Zhao Yunzhu.
In the evening, Zhao Yunzhu lay on the couch, looking at the ceiling, thinking of his mother and sister-in-law who were in prison today.
My vision gradually blurred.
Once upon a time, the Zhao family was so prosperous.
Until now, the Zhao family is so miserable.
Just because of a work written by his father while drunk, the entire Zhao family was accused of defying the imperial power and was thrown into death row.
How can it not make people sigh?
The power of the emperor is unpredictable. Even if her grandfather was the Grand Tutor and her father was the Prime Minister, so what?
Everything depends on the emperor's mood and the five constants.
Zhao Yunzhu was lying on her side.
The deposed Crown Prince was the only son of Empress Yuan and had received countless favors from the emperor.
But now he is still charged with poisoning the emperor and attempting to usurp the throne.
The imperial power is ruthless, and people will forget about it when they leave.
The emperor had long intended to depose the crown prince, but the empress dowager was more favored by him.
Moreover, the tenth prince is the legitimate son born to the empress dowager, and his appearance and temperament are most similar to the emperor among all the princes.
Another child born in old age.
The emperor naturally had the idea of supporting the tenth prince to be the crown prince, but the tenth prince was only eleven years old.
Moreover, the deposed prince had been conscientious in his duties for many years, and had the support of a number of court officials.
But in the end, the deposed prince was still convicted on trumped-up charges.
In order to support the tenth prince, the emperor killed all the party of the deposed prince!
The current situation in Chang'an is already turbulent and people are in panic.
I'm afraid that many people in the party that deposed the crown prince will be implicated this time.
Bang bang!
In the silence of the night, a strange noise made Zhao Yunzhu immediately alert.
She sat up suddenly and looked toward the rear window.
But the next second, her eyelids felt extremely heavy, her body went limp, and she fell down with her eyes half open.
Someone had put a drug in the room without knowing when!
She looked at the gradually approaching man in black, feeling extremely desperate, and tried to shout to alert the servants who were guarding outside.
The man in black slapped her neck with his palm.
Zhao Yunzhu groaned and fell into a coma.
When she woke up again, her body had been tied up.
Crash!
A whole basin of ice-cold water was poured over Zhao Yunzhu's head.
She shivered all over and was awakened by the splash.
Her jet-black hair was wet and stuck to her forehead.
