But no more news came out from outside, and everyone could only feel sorry for Song Shumin who had become an orphan.
The next day, it was heard that Empress Dowager Liu summoned Song Shumin into the palace.
It turned out that Song Shumin asked for an imperial decree to take back the power of Prince Song's Mansion, claiming that this was Prince Song's original intention.
Empress Dowager Liu, considering that she was alone, re-granted her the title of Princess Shumin, and the power of the Prince Song's Mansion was taken back on the same day.
Although her status was lowered, as soon as Song Shumin returned to Prince Song's Mansion, Empress Dowager Liu sent someone to deliver a plaque for the residence of County Lady Shumin written by her personally.
In just one day, the plaque representing the Prince Song's Palace was replaced.
The palace is still the same palace as before, but the plaque above the door has long been replaced.
Today, the residence of Lady Shumin is truly her home.
…
When Zhao Yunzhu heard the news, she couldn't help but reconsider her opinion of Song Shumin.
Today, Song Shumin is deep-minded and ruthless, and is no longer the willful little girl she used to be.
Some people in Chang'an City wanted to get married, but were hindered by the fact that Song Shumin had to observe a year of mourning.
Moreover, he was worried that Song Shumin could not bring more help, and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss and lose his own son in vain.
"My dear Miss, I think this Shumin County Lady will be very powerful in the future."
Aunt Hua was peeling an orange for Zhao Yunzhu and casually mentioned what everyone in Chang'an was talking about.
Zhao Yunzhu took the orange peeled by Aunt Hua, broke off a piece, put it in her mouth, and nodded.
"Yes, with such a cruel and vicious character, it would be fine if he willingly retired. But if he had other thoughts, I'm afraid he would stir up quite a stir in Chang'an."
"Yes, that's what I think. Miss, you should stay away from County Master Shumin. We should have less contact with people like that."
Zhao Yunzhu also strongly agrees with this point.
"Mammy, go get it and let me take a look."
She had never opened them since Song Shumin gave them to her that day.
Because she couldn't make up her mind, she was afraid that Song Shumin would deceive her.
So I just never watched it.
So as to avoid being wavering in your heart.
"Yes, I'll get it right away."
Nanny Hua retreated as instructed, and when she came back, she had a small bag in her hand.
Zhao Yunzhu took it, opened it carefully, and found some old letter paper inside.
She frowned and looked at the letter, which looked like it had been there for many years and had turned yellow.
She read through the letters one by one, and her heart sank little by little.
"Miss?"
Aunt Hua was a little worried.
Zhao Yunzhu folded the letter again, put it back in Madam Hua's hands, and carefully instructed, "Madam, keep it carefully. Don't let anyone else find it."
She didn't want to say more, so Nanny Hua didn't ask any more questions. She just followed the eldest lady's instructions and carefully took the things back.
Zhao Yunzhu drummed her fingers on the table, her heart in turmoil.
It was difficult to tell whether the contents of the letter were true or false. Song Shumin naturally knew what was inside, but what if she had given it to him on purpose?
Want her to become a pawn used by Song Shumin?
She shook her head. What she needed now was calmness and restraint. What she wanted now was to figure out whether the content here was true or false.
…
The assassination of King Song became a headless case.
Even though Lord Liu and the Dali Temple jointly tried the case, there was still no result.
The people in Chang'an City were uneasy.
Gradually, people began to point out that the assassination of Prince Song was related to Concubine Yun of Prince Tongan's mansion.
Zhao Yunzhu was sitting at home when disaster struck.
"Why drag the young lady into this out of the blue? These gossipers should all be sent to the government office!"
Aunt Hua was indignant and said things against her will. Although the assassination of Prince Song was indeed related to the eldest daughter, the eldest daughter was also held hostage by County Lord Song Shumin.
"Miss, tell me, where do these rumors come from? King Song's death is of no benefit to us, and besides—"
Aunt Hua wanted to say that the eldest lady was being held hostage by County Magistrate Song Shumin, but she swallowed the rest of her words.
"There must be someone behind this who is secretly instructing people to investigate and find out who is trying to plot against me."
"yes."
Nanny Hua retreated, but this information was not something she could find out.
For three consecutive days, no news came out, but the rumors in Chang'an City became more and more frequent.
Some people were curious and came to Zhao Yunzhu's house to test his knowledge, but Zhao Yunzhu always refused them with the excuse that she was not feeling well.
Seeing that there was no news to be found out from outside.
Zhao Yunzhu had no choice but to trouble Deadpool again.
Before the news was found out, Deadpool sent a message instead.
"A carriage left the County Lady's mansion from the back door overnight. I followed it all the way until we left the city and found a person in a mass grave."
"Auntie Lan?"
Zhao Yunzhu asked suspiciously, after all, who else could Song Shumin have gone to such great lengths to think about this except Aunt Lan?
For her, Aunt Lan was originally there to be used.
Later, Aunt Lan gradually revealed her ambitions, and Song Shumin realized that she could not wait any longer.
Now that Prince Song and his wife are gone, the best outcome for Aunt Lan, the chess piece, is for her to disappear quietly.
"Is he still alive?"
"Concubine Yun, she is still alive, but only has one breath left."
Deadpool answered truthfully.
"It's okay, send the person in, I'll ask Doctor Li to take a look."
Deadpool responded and retreated respectfully.
Soon, the dying Aunt Lan was brought in. Zhao Yunzhu placed her in a secluded place in Lanxiang Garden. Xia Yue served her personally on weekdays. The people in the yard had already been beaten by Aunt Hua.
Naturally, the news will not be spread.
Aunt Lan on the couch was barely breathing, as if her life was fading away bit by bit.
"Go and get the doctor from the Li family."
Zhao Yunzhu ordered Linglong to go and invite him. Linglong pulled the sleeping doctor Li from the couch under the pretext of seeing Concubine Yun.
Although Doctor Li was angry, he thought about what would happen if something really happened to Concubine Yun.
I'm afraid that when that brat Prince An comes back, he will definitely eat him alive.
Even the biggest resentment was dissipated by heavy sighs.
Doctor Li quickly put on his coat and followed Linglong to Lanxiang Garden.
I was afraid that I would be too late and delay the treatment.
But when he arrived at Lanxiang Garden, he saw Concubine Yun standing safely in the room.
He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. What was this?
Did he see it wrongly? Was he half asleep?
Or is this all just a dream?
Doctor Li shook his head vigorously, trying to stay awake.
"Doctor Li, I'm so sorry for bothering you so much in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, I wouldn't have sent anyone to disturb Doctor Li's sleep. It's just that this woman is very important to the prince."
Zhao Yunzhu looked apologetic.
Doctor Li was stunned when he heard this. A woman who was very important to Prince An? He saw that the boy only cared about Zhao Yunzhu and probably had no eyes for anyone else!
