"Aunt Qing, the emperor is still waiting for your reply."
Aunt Qing smiled bitterly and shook her head. "No, I'll just trouble you to tell the new emperor that I have nothing to say."
Seeing her firm attitude, Zhao Yunzhu stopped trying to persuade her.
After leaving the cold palace, she went to the Yangxin Palace to report.
The new emperor saw Zhao Yunzhu returning empty-handed, and a rare hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes. "What?"
"Aunt Qing asked me to tell the Emperor that she has nothing to say."
"Is there really nothing else?"
Zhao Yunzhu shook her head helplessly and said firmly, "Your Majesty, it's gone."
The new emperor's body softened and he sat down suddenly, his expression dazed.
It took a long time for me to come back to my senses.
It seemed as if he had suffered a huge blow.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
The new emperor waved his hand, and Zhao Yunzhu bowed before leaving the Yangxin Palace.
It was not until she returned to Prince An's Mansion that she took out the imperial edict and pass token given by the new emperor.
In this way, it would be justified and there would be no need for people to bring up this matter in the future.
When Steward Xu saw the imperial edict written by Concubine Yun, he was naturally excited and couldn't help but sigh, "This is the right thing to do. Does Concubine Yun need to bring more things?"
Since there is no need to hide your whereabouts, then naturally you should take whatever you can.
She thought for a moment and said, "Manager Xu, please bring some more herbs. I'm sure they'll be useful."
"Yes, I will prepare it right away." Steward Xu smiled and suddenly said, "Concubine Yun, what about the guards who will escort you?"
Zhao Yunzhu thought for a moment and said, "Just pick six guards from the palace, and I'll take a few more from the dead guards that the prince left for me."
"Okay."
Manager Xu bowed and then left.
Finally, a whole carriage full of medicinal materials was prepared, and Zhao Yunzhu took another carriage.
This time, I was prepared for a long journey.
The clothes they brought were mostly simple and elegant. Nanny Hua also prepared a lot of food, and even prepared stoves, charcoal fires and other things.
There were several quilts in the carriage.
This time when she went out, she brought Aunt Hua, Linglong and Xia Yue with her.
In addition to the six guards in the palace, there were also six deadpools escorting her on the trip.
After traveling for four or five hours every day, they would find an inn to stay.
It was Zhao Yunzhu's first time leaving the hospital, and she was a little excited at first.
But later, the daily bumpy ride in the carriage made her extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, the carriage slowed down a little.
It was supposed to take ten days to get there, but it took a full ten days and we were only halfway there.
Zhao Yunzhu wanted to speed up the process, but her health was not good enough.
It seemed that it would take another seven or eight days to arrive, and Zhao Yunzhu had already lost a lot of weight.
"Miss, let's rest for two more days. It will be fine later."
Aunt Hua brought the cooked ginger soup, her eyes full of heartache.
Zhao Yunzhu frowned, shook her head with all her might, sighed, and said helplessly, "Mammy, it's okay. If you had arrived earlier, there would have been no need to go through so much trouble."
She thought that as long as she could hold on for two more days, it would be fine.
It's much better than recovering and then going through the same suffering again on the road.
"Why."
Aunt Hua gave up and could only use food to help Zhao Yunzhu relieve some of the burden.
As the distance got closer, Zhao Yunzhu's body gradually adapted to the bumpy ride.
Finally, at dusk, a group of people arrived at the city gate.
"Who is coming?"
They saw that the city gates were closed and the soldiers on the city wall shouted at them.
"Hurry up and inform His Royal Highness Prince An that Concubine Yun from Prince An's Mansion has arrived."
The guard took out the token of Prince An's Mansion. The soldiers on the city gate leaned out to check and saw that the token was indeed from Prince An's Mansion.
"I'll be right there, wait a moment."
The soldiers' voices became more urgent as they hurried away, shouting to the soldiers guarding the city gate, "Open the gate quickly! Concubine Yun from Prince An's Mansion is here."
The soldiers looked at each other and stood there in a daze.
The soldiers lying on the city wall were getting anxious and shouted angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and open the city gates! If we're late, who among you can bear the punishment from the prince?"
The soldiers guarding the city gate then hurried forward and opened the gate neatly.
The carriages and horses from Prince An's Mansion drove straight into the city.
"Where is Prince An resting now?"
The guards of Prince An's Mansion stopped and asked the soldier at the city gate.
"If you don't mind, I'll let you lead the way."
The soldiers at the city gate stepped forward cautiously, smiling apologetically.
The guard glanced around and finally nodded, "Okay."
The carriage traveled all the way to the most prosperous long street in the city, until it stopped in front of a mansion on the long street.
Zhao Yunzhu noticed the carriage stopped, lifted the curtain, and saw the scene outside, and was stunned.
"Concubine Yun, we're here."
From outside the carriage came the voice of the guard's respectful reply.
Nanny Hua got off the carriage first, and Linglong followed suit, adjusted the stirrups, and helped Zhao Yunzhu get off the carriage.
"The prince has always lived here?"
She looked at the soldiers at the city gate who followed her and asked curiously.
The soldier raised his eyes and saw the true appearance of Concubine Yun. His eyes widened in shock. He had never seen such an immortal figure before and forgot to answer for a moment.
Zhao Yunzhu frowned slightly.
Aunt Hua quickly shouted angrily, "Concubine Yun is asking you a question!"
The soldier came to his senses, realizing his own recklessness. He lowered his eyes, bent his waist, and dared not look directly at the noble. "Replying to Concubine Yun, the prince has been living in the prince's residence since he arrived."
The servant at the gate of Wang's house looked at the people at the gate suspiciously. If he had not seen that they were led by the soldiers at the city gate, he would have rushed forward and chased them away.
The soldier turned around and shouted at the servant at the Wang family's gate, "Hurry up and go in and inform them that Concubine Yun from Prince An's Mansion has arrived."
The servant of Lord Wang was stunned when he heard this, then came to his senses and ran back to report.
Zhao Yunzhu had just gotten off the carriage and stepped onto the steps in front of Wang's house when the next second, a burst of rapid footsteps came from inside the Wang's house.
There was a woman in dark purple brocade clothes leading the group, followed by two old women and two maids.
The visitor was none other than Mrs. Wang, the mistress of Lord Wang's family, who was in her early forties.
She caught sight of Zhao Yunzhu at the doorway, and was slightly startled. Then, coming to her senses, she smiled and knelt down to salute, "Concubine Yun."
"Madam Wang."
Zhao Yunzhu nodded as a greeting.
"Concubine Yun has been exhausted from the journey. Please go in and rest."
Mrs. Wang invited her in familiarly, and Zhao Yunzhu simply stopped being polite and followed her into the house.
"Madam Wang, where is Prince An now?"
She had been in the city for quite some time, so the news should have reached him long ago. She shouldn't have appeared yet.
Before leaving, she deliberately didn't tell him, as if to give him a message.
"Replying to Concubine Yun, the prince went to the embankment with my master early this morning..."
Zhao Yunzhu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
