He curiously followed Zhao Yunzhu's gaze and saw that the woman on the bed had a pale face.
This appearance can only be considered above average, and is completely incomparable to Zhao Yunzhu.
"Doctor Li, go and take a look at her quickly. Don't let her die. She is very important to the prince!"
Seeing that Doctor Li was still determined, Zhao Yunzhu urged him again.
Doctor Li reluctantly stepped forward to treat the woman.
"He's seriously injured. I can only try my best. If I can't save him, Concubine Yun, please don't blame me."
"Of course, Doctor Li, just let Jie Xin do his best to treat him."
Doctor Li carefully examined Aunt Lan again.
Finally, a prescription was given. If Aunt Lan could wake up within three days, she would be fine.
If not, I'm afraid her death is near and there is no way to save her.
After sending off Doctor Li, Zhao Yunzhu gave Xia Yue some careful instructions.
Just left with people.
…
The news from Deadpool came back quickly.
Those rumors were spread by County Lady Song Shumin.
"What on earth does Song Shumin want to do?"
Zhao Yunzhu raised the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with coldness.
Unexpectedly, the news was released by Song Shumin.
This actually surprised her greatly.
"My dear Miss, isn't County Lady Shumin afraid that she will be implicated as well? Why is she doing this?"
Aunt Hua was obviously confused by Song Shumin's confusing behavior.
"No rush, let's wait patiently. I want to see what she wants to do."
Zhao Yunzhu allowed rumors to spread outside.
She stayed indoors in the palace.
Until Empress Dowager Liu invited her into the palace to talk.
Zhao Yunzhu couldn't resist.
But she really had no good feelings towards the palace, and Qin Zongzhi was not in Chang'an, so no one could help her.
Sitting in the carriage that came to pick her up from the palace, Nanny Hua and Linglong looked solemn.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Zhao Yunzhu gently comforted the two of them.
Then the carriage stopped at the palace gate, and she followed the aunt in charge all the way to Empress Dowager Liu's palace.
Empress Dowager Liu happened to be bending over in the yard, trimming a pot of red peonies.
"Hello, Empress Dowager."
Zhao Yunzhu bowed and said, "Long live the queen."
Empress Dowager Liu straightened up, handed the scissors in her hand to the palace maid beside her, and played with the newly cut peony in one hand.
The red peony bloomed the most beautifully and had the best appearance.
"Concubine Yun, take a look. How do I take care of this flower I cut?"
Empress Dowager Liu narrowed her eyes, the smile hidden deep within them.
"What the Empress Dowager selected must be of the highest quality."
Zhao Yunzhu answered respectfully.
Empress Dowager Liu snorted lightly, a hint of disdain on the corner of her lips. She suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you heard about the recent rumors in Chang'an City?"
Zhao Yunzhu looked up at Empress Dowager Liu in bewilderment. "Your Majesty, I haven't been feeling well these days, so I haven't heard anything. Is there anything new and unusual happening in Chang'an City recently?"
"Oh."
How could Empress Dowager Liu believe this? "Since you said you didn't hear anything, then I will tell you today——"
Empress Dowager Liu looked directly at Zhao Yunzhu, sizing her up, hoping to glean some clues. "Somehow, rumors have spread among the people, saying... that the assassination of Prince Song seems to be related to you!"
Empress Dowager Liu did not ask in her tone, but her expression seemed to carry some certainty.
Zhao Yunzhu's brows knelt down, and she pleaded sincerely, "Empress Dowager, please help me. Prince An is not in Chang'an right now, and I am just a woman. How can I have such great power?"
She knelt on the ground and said, "I beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for me!"
Empress Dowager Liu said nothing and looked at her quietly.
"Alright, get up. I summoned you to the palace today to ask if you still know about this matter."
Empress Dowager Liu ordered the palace maids to help her up.
After chatting for a while, he ordered someone to take Zhao Yunzhu away.
Empress Dowager Liu watched Zhao Yunzhu leave, her eyes narrowed, and she said to the steward aunt beside her, "Tell me, how credible are the words of that girl?"
"Replying to the Queen Mother, the Zhao family has no one left. Besides, Concubine Yun and Prince Song have no grudges against each other, so why would she do something that would cost her her life?"
The housekeeper replied carefully.
Empress Dowager Liu didn't hear the answer she wanted, and she was a little disappointed. She glanced at the housekeeper beside her and sneered, "You old thing, you have served me for so many years, and now you are hiding something from me, right?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not. Your Majesty has really misunderstood me." The housekeeper knelt down hurriedly, her face full of fear.
Empress Dowager Liu leaned over and stretched out her hand, pulling her up. "If you continue to play tricks on me in the future, I will not be able to keep you."
"I've made note of this."
The housekeeper replied hastily.
…
Zhao Yunzhu was about to leave the palace with the palace maids, but unexpectedly, she ran into the new emperor who came to visit the empress dowager on the way.
The new emperor is only thirteen years old, and the empress dowager still has to make the decisions on many matters.
The ministers and royal brothers in the court also gave instructions, which made the new emperor even more depressed.
"Are you Concubine Yun from Ninth Brother's house?"
The new emperor's childish voice was heard, and Zhao Yunzhu looked at the new emperor at such a close distance for the first time.
She knelt hurriedly to greet him, "Your Majesty, I am Consort Yun from Prince An's residence."
"Why did you come to the palace today?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother summoned me to the palace to speak."
