"If you hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known that Jiaojiao had returned your armor and was pregnant with my child."
It turned out that Queen Liu had secretly drugged Qin Zongzhi and Du Jiaojiao in order to make them a fait accompli.
However, he did not expect that Qin Zongzhi had been prepared.
Moreover, Liu Ze, the distant cousin of the Liu family, has a very good personal relationship with Qin Zongzhi.
If he hadn't secretly helped, Qin Zongzhi would have fallen into the trap set by Queen Liu.
In order to hide the truth from Queen Liu, Qin Zongzhi even hid it from her, making Du Jiaojiao believe without a doubt that the man she had physical contact with was Qin Zongzhi.
But the real person is actually Yanagisawa.
Later, Liu Ze often secretly looked for opportunities to visit Du Jiaojiao.
At first she didn't suspect anything and just thought that Liu Ze was coming to see her on behalf of Queen Liu.
Until one day, she accidentally discovered this cruel truth.
She found it hard to accept and was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to commit suicide.
It was Liu Ze who risked his life to save her.
The two were incompatible at first, but Liu Ze would come up to them from time to time.
After a while, Du Jiaojiao actually started to feel a little strange towards him.
After that, everything went smoothly and the two of them often met in private. Qin Zongzhi naturally knew all of this.
"Put him down."
Since Liu Ze was someone Qin Zongzhi knew well, she naturally didn't want to make things too difficult for her. She asked someone to write a document, and Liu Ze signed it very reluctantly. If it weren't for Qin Zongzhi, he really wanted to beat her up.
"Master Liu, I won't see you off then!"
Liu Ze raised his head and snorted. He was in a very miserable state today.
She forced herself to save the last bit of face, and when she went to Prince Lai'an's Mansion, she never failed because Qin Zongzhi had already made instructions.
No one would have thought that when Qin Zongzhi was not at home, his concubine Yun was secretly so meticulous.
"By the way, the child in Concubine Du's belly..."
"I will take care of it, so don't bother Concubine Yun with any worries."
After Liu Ze finished speaking, he walked out of the secret room and left Prince An's Mansion.
On Zhao Yunzhu's way back, Nanny Hua followed her, looking worried, "Concubine Yun, can this Liu Ze really be trusted?"
Naturally, Aunt Hua was a little skeptical about this.
Zhao Yunzhu pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Ma'am. There's nothing false in Liu Ze's words."
"If it weren't for the prince's secret help, how could he enter and leave the palace so freely?"
Aunt Hua nodded thoughtfully, "But if this happens, the prince's reputation..."
"He doesn't like Du Jiaojiao, and he must be close to Liu Ze, otherwise he wouldn't be so disregarding of his own face."
Zhao Yunzhu told Aunt Hua what she thought in her heart, then returned to the house, wrote a letter, and asked Deadpool to deliver it personally, making sure it was delivered to Qin Zongzhi and not fall into the hands of anyone else.
However, Zhao Yunzhu did not expect that Du Jiaojiao would come back so soon.
I guess Liu Ze went to see her.
When Du Jiaojiao returned from Yong'an Marquis Mansion, the sadness on her face faded a little.
She looks rosy and fair, and seems to be in a good mood.
After Du Jiaojiao came back from listening to the story, Zhao Yunzhu was making tea on a charcoal fire in the yard.
Linglong lent a hand, while Aunt Hua was busy running around and bringing food over.
"I haven't had it in a while, why are you serving it now?"
Zhao Yunzhu looked at the bottomless black medicine bowl and frowned unconsciously.
There was a hint of resistance in his eyes.
Because of being preoccupied with trivial matters, Doctor Li had not prescribed any medicine for her for a long time.
She hadn't taken this bitter medicine with a hint of sourness for several days and had almost forgotten its taste.
Now that Nanny Hua brought it to me, those painful memories came flooding back to my mind again.
It made her so annoyed that she unconsciously raised her hand to push away the bitter medicine in front of her.
Aunt Hua advised earnestly, "Miss, good medicine tastes bitter. This is all for your health. Please drink some quickly."
Zhao Yunzhu saw the hope in Aunt Hua's eyes and couldn't bear to see her disappointed.
He sighed, pursed his lips, and seemed to have made up his mind.
He reached out to take the medicine bowl from Aunt Hua and brought it to his lips. Instantly, the strong bitter fragrance invaded his nose, making him feel a little drowsy.
She closed her eyes tightly, held her breath, and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.
"Miss, please eat a plum to get rid of the bitterness."
When Aunt Hua saw her drink the medicine, she was delighted. She took the empty bowl from her hand, raised her hand, picked up a plum from the table and put it in front of her.
Zhao Yunzhu threw the plum into her mouth.
The sweet plums quickly dispelled the bitterness from the taste buds.
Linglong handed her a cup of tea at this moment. She took a sip and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.
"When will I no longer have to drink these bitter medicines?"
Zhao Yunzhu sighed softly.
"elder sister."
The woman's soft cry brought Zhao Yunzhu back to his senses in shock.
At a glance, Du Jiaojiao, with a kind smile, was approaching, surrounded by servants.
Zhao Yunzhu stood up to return the greeting. Although she had heard that Du Jiaojiao had returned home before, she didn't expect her to come to see her so soon.
"Concubine Du is back. Are you happy living at your parents' home these days?"
Zhao Yunzhu asked her to sit down and talk. Du Jiaojiao was not polite at all and sat down.
"Thank you for your concern, sister. Everything is fine."
Du Jiaojiao took the tea she handed to her.
The teacup turned between her fingers. Zhao Yunzhu saw that Du Jiaojiao looked evasive and her words were a bit embarrassed.
"Concubine Du, after drinking this cup of tea, let's go sit inside. It's still cold outside."
"Okay."
Du Jiaojiao took two sips, stood up and followed Zhao Yunzhu towards the main house.
Zhao Yunzhu gave Nanny Hua a wink, and Nanny Hua understood and sent away the servants who were following them.
Nanny Hua and Linglong were guarding the main door.
As soon as she entered the house, Du Jiaojiao looked at the ornaments on the red lacquered shelves in the room, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, "Everything in my sister's room is excellent."
"My sister is a blessed one."
Du Jiaojiao spoke sincerely, but it did not sound very pleasant to Zhao Yunzhu's ears.
She was born into the Zhao family. Her grandfather was once the Grand Tutor and her father was once the Prime Minister.
Coming from such a family, she has seen all kinds of good things since she was a child.
Now, I am trapped in Prince An’s Mansion, just a concubine.
The once powerful family behind her has long since turned into dust, and her current identity is just the daughter of a criminal.
"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. Brother Ze came to look for me yesterday."
When talking about her sweetheart, Du Jiaojiao hid a hint of shyness in her eyes.
The little girl's demeanor inevitably emerged on her face.
Compared to her previous defensiveness, she seemed to have become much softer now.
This was the first time Zhao Yunzhu had seen Du Jiaojiao like this.
Looking at the soft glow on her body, it seemed to reveal the aura of motherhood.
"Now that I have a body, I look different. I'm much softer than before."
Zhao Yunzhu sighed with a smile.
