In the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, no one else was the happiest except the Yong'an Marquis.
But now the Yong'an Marquisate already has a new prince to succeed to the throne.
The attitude of the palace is still unclear, and Du Mingan's status and position in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and even in Chang'an City is particularly embarrassing.
Everyone could only call him "Young Master Du" for the time being.
In Prince An's Mansion.
Zhao Yunzhu stayed in her room all day. The weather had been getting colder these days, and she was not very willing to go out.
Linglong, the smart guy, will send the news from outside back to her.
I heard that since Du Ming'an returned to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, he rarely went out of the mansion and stayed in the mansion most of the time.
Don't go out or attend any parties.
"Miss, County Lady Shumin's wedding is coming up soon. Are we still going?"
Linglong suddenly remembered that County Lady Shumin had secretly made things difficult for her young lady some time ago, so she naturally didn't want her young lady to attend the wedding banquet again.
"I actually forgot about this matter. I told Aunt Hua to have someone prepare generous gifts so that I can go and join in the fun when the time comes."
Zhao Yunzhu's eyes lit up. Naturally, she had to go and take a look at such a good opportunity.
"Oh, send someone to check where the virtuous princess is. Let's go and see."
"Miss?" Linglong was suspicious, not knowing what the young lady was going to do.
"Go quickly, I will be of use to you."
…
Linglong quickly found out the news.
"You're going?" Prince An asked Zhao Yunzhu when he learned of this. "Why did you suddenly think of visiting her?"
"I'm curious. I couldn't find any information before, so I decided to go and see what happened. Maybe it can be useful to us."
Qin Zongzhi looked at her lovingly and reached out to smooth the hair at her temples.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Because he was worried about Zhao Yunzhu, Prince An went with her.
Outside the city of Chang'an, there is a villa in Xiangshan, which was the dowry of the virtuous princess.
She moved here after her divorce from the wise king.
Zhao Yunzhu and Prince An pretended to be an ordinary couple, and their carriage stopped at the gate of Xiangshan Villa.
The servant at the door stepped forward cautiously and said, "This is a private manor, we don't accept guests."
"Tell Princess Xian that an old friend is visiting."
Prince An raised his eyebrows and glanced at the servant with an unfriendly tone.
When the servant heard the name of the virtuous princess announced, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully and said, "Please wait a moment."
The servant quickly returned to the manor. After all, not many people knew that the former virtuous princess lived in this manor.
Not long after, an elderly housekeeper came out of the farm. She looked like the capable maidservant of Princess Xian.
The nanny saw the two startled and naturally recognized them. However, since they were outside, she only bowed. Then she said, "Please come in and talk."
The nanny didn't say anything more along the way and took the two of them directly to the flower hall in the inner courtyard.
In the flower hall, Princess Xian, who was wearing a green dress and had her hair tied up in a bun, sat in the main seat and looked outside with a gentle gaze.
"Prince An, Concubine Yun."
"Princess Xian."
The three of them exchanged greetings, and the nanny led all the servants in the flower hall out.
"Why did you two suddenly come here today?"
Princess Xian did not ask the two to change their names, but instead asked their intentions.
Zhao Yunzhu smiled and explained, "The virtuous prince is getting married, and the prince and I have come to see you."
The virtuous princess's gentle gaze froze, she lowered her eyes, smiled without saying a word.
The atmosphere became a little more awkward.
Prince An stood up and made an excuse to go for a walk outside.
Princess Xian did not stop him.
The hall fell silent for a moment, and Zhao Yunzhu was the first to break the silence. "Princess Xian, I heard that County Master Shumin's fiancé is your cousin, and he's here with you now?"
The Xian Wangfei's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth. She snorted coldly, "Haha, yes, my cousin is here with me, so why did Concubine Yun come here to laugh at me today?"
Zhao Yunzhu waved her hand and smiled helplessly, "Princess Xian has misunderstood. No matter what people say outside, I still believe in your character. You will not abandon your two children for your own sake."
Seeing that Princess Xian's face was relaxed and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Zhao Yunzhu knew in her heart that she had made the right bet.
"Master, it's bad, I'm afraid the young master is not going to make it!"
Suddenly, a frightened maid rushed in from the back door. Princess Xian stood up and asked, "What?"
She left Zhao Yunzhu behind and quickly left through the back door of the flower hall.
Zhao Yunzhu stood up and followed. Fortunately, there were no servants along the way.
After walking a few steps, I heard faint sobbing, which seemed to be the voice of Princess Xian.
She followed the sound.
The room was in a mess, and Zhao Yunzhu was looking inside from the window.
"Cousin, please let me go. I'm like... a living dead, and it's getting harder and harder every day."
Although the face of the young man in white clothes lying on the bed could not be seen clearly, his voice was so gentle that it made people feel at ease.
"Cousin, if you really die, wouldn't that be their wish? I'll live and see them get their comeuppance sooner or later!"
Zhao Yunzhu turned around and walked back towards the flower hall.
This was indeed as she had guessed, not a simple matter.
After waiting for a cup of tea, she finally saw Princess Xian coming back with red and swollen eyes. She smiled apologetically, "Concubine Yun, I'm really sorry for today."
"I was the one who disturbed you first, so I should be the one to apologize."
"I have some grievances with County Lady Shumin, and I think Princess Xian has heard about it."
Zhao Yunzhu looked at Princess Xian steadily, her face extremely calm.
"I want to join forces with the virtuous princess, but I wonder if she is willing?"
She extended an olive branch, but it was up to Princess Zaixian herself to decide whether to accept it.
She didn't rush, just waited quietly.
After a long while, the virtuous princess finally spoke slowly, "Okay, I promise you, but after this is done, I want Song Shumin's life!"
"One more thing, you can't touch my son's throne!"
"Okay, I promise!"
Princess Xian was certain that Zhao Yunzhu would be able to help her because it was Prince An who came with her today.
Moreover, Prince Xian had repeatedly made things difficult for Zhao Yunzhu when Prince An was not in the capital.
The feud had already begun.
She was unwilling to interfere in matters between men, but she had to fight for her son's throne.
If Song Shumin had not died, the legitimate son she would have given birth to in the future would have inevitably threatened her son's throne.
How can a mother not worry about her children?
So, she was willing to take a gamble for her two children.
She believed that Zhao Yunzhu could do it.
So she told Zhao Yunzhu everything she knew.
On the way back.
Zhao Yunzhu repeated to Prince An what Princess Xian had just said to her.
It turned out that there was nothing innocent between Princess Xian and her cousin.
If there was any affair between the two, it was before they got married. They have not been in contact since they got married.
They had met by chance before, but unexpectedly, after Song Shumin found out, she concluded that the two were having an affair.
He reported the matter to the Xian King, and then the two of them set up a trap, and it was said that the Xian King had defiled Song Shumin.
But in fact, it was Song Shumin herself who put drugs in the wine of the virtuous king.
