Princess Song's face was pale and she spat out several mouthfuls of blood. The nanny who was guarding beside her was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
He secretly thought that Princess Song was about to vomit out all the blood in her heart.
Princess Song fainted on the bed, her face ashen and her breath barely wafting from her nose. The maidservant standing by would reach out to touch Princess Song's nose from time to time.
The doctor was dragged here, but after examining the patient, his furrowed brows never relaxed.
His expression became more serious, and the servants in the room also became nervous.
"Oh, my condolences."
Although this result is extremely cruel, as a doctor, he is kind-hearted and would not be willing to watch someone die without helping.
There is really no way to save the situation, not even the gods can save it.
The mournful music that sounded in the Song Palace seemed to foreshadow the Song Palace, which was once extremely prosperous and possessed enormous power.
It was like a flash in the pan in Chang'an.
It's surprising.
"My Lady, this is bad. I'm afraid the Princess is going to die too."
The old woman stepped forward respectfully, bowed, and then came close to Song Shumin and replied in a low voice.
But these words still reached the ears of Zhao Yunzhu who was standing beside him.
There was no emotion on Song Shumin's face. She lowered her head and thought for a moment.
"I have no time to split myself now. I'm sure Mother won't blame me. Everyone's fate is predetermined."
"Hey, Mammy, please make a bowl of ginseng soup for Mother. Consider it as your daughter's farewell to Mother. This will also satisfy Mother's wish and allow her to join hands with Father."
Song Shumin stroked the bracelet on her wrist, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, making it difficult to see the turbulent waves hidden beneath her eyelashes.
When Mammy heard this, her heart sank.
"Is what the princess said true?"
It seemed as if he hoped to get a positive result, but the next second, he saw the princess suddenly look up with a cold light in her eyes.
The nanny actually felt a little fear in her heart, because the princess was angry with her for overstepping her bounds.
"My old servant is too talkative. My lady, please do not take my opinion seriously. My lady's filial piety is truly moving."
"Go down."
Song Shumin waved her hand, and the nanny left with her body hunched.
Although Zhao Yunzhu did not ask, she had already guessed Song Shumin's plan.
She didn't say much.
Within an hour, bad news came from Prince Song's mansion again. Princess Song died with Prince Song due to excessive grief.
The guests who came to pay their respects were shocked and their eyes all fell on Song Shumin.
There is pity, sympathy and regret.
"Mother—"
When Song Shumin heard the bad news, she suddenly stood up, covered her chest with one hand, her face turned pale, and she vomited blood.
His eyes went dark, his body went limp, and he fell down.
There were cries of surprise throughout the Prince Song’s mansion.
The chief steward was extremely anxious, as there was not even a steward in the palace who could take charge.
He multitasked and used extremely quick means to stabilize the chaotic situation.
Everyone saw Song Shumin spit out blood in front of Prince Song's mourning hall when she heard the bad news about Princess Song. Everyone felt that Song Shumin was truly in love with Prince Song and his wife.
Unfortunately, she later became an orphan with no one to rely on, a princess raised in the back house.
In the past, the King and Queen of Song took great care of her, but now that is gone.
How can this be accepted?
Fortunately, a nanny who had seen a lot of things came forward, pinched Song Shumin's Ren Zhong point, and gave her some medicinal wine.
Song Shumin just woke up.
"My Lady, the Prince Song's Mansion is completely dependent on you. Please accept my condolences. Please go down and rest for a while. Otherwise, if anything happens to you, what will we old servants do?"
The nanny advised earnestly with sobs in her eyes.
Song Shumin's face was filled with sorrow. She shook her head and pushed the nanny away, her tone particularly firm. "I can't, I can't leave. Father, mother, they need me. They need me to see them off for the last time."
All the guests who came today praised Princess Shumin's deep affection.
Only Zhao Yunzhu watched all this coldly from the side.
If she didn't know the inside story, she would probably sigh and say that Song Shumin was grateful.
However, she had just seen with her own eyes that a little maid brought a ball of cotton soaked in blood and quietly put it into Song Shumin's hands.
The blood that Song Shumin spat out just now was not her own.
Princess Song's death was related to the ginseng soup she asked her nanny to deliver.
It was just that the entire Song Palace was in chaos, and no one would suspect that Song Shumin had secretly harbored murderous intentions towards the Song Prince and his wife.
People would only think that Princess Song was overly grief-stricken and that was why she followed King Song.
After all, the doctor came to see her and determined that Princess Song would not survive.
It's just a matter of time.
It was Song Shumin who accelerated the process of Princess Song's departure.
No one would suspect that Princess Song died of poisoning.
The news that the Prince Song's Mansion had lost two masters at once finally alarmed the palace.
Empress Dowager Liu did not doubt the cause of Princess Song's death. After all, a doctor personally testified that Princess Song would not survive.
"Go and investigate. You must find out for me who killed King Song."
Queen Mother Liu vented all her anger on the assassination of King Song.
Three days later, King Song and his wife were buried.
The gate of Prince Song's Mansion was tightly closed, and only the white lantern hanging in front of the door indicated the real incident that had taken place in Prince Song's Mansion.
Now, Song Shumin is the only true master in the Prince Song’s Mansion.
She didn't dwell on her sorrow.
After the Song prince and his wife were buried, she immediately summoned everyone in the palace to talk in the front hall.
On the table beside him was a black lacquer box, which contained the indentures of all the servants in the Prince Song's mansion.
"Now that my father and mother are gone, I don't know what the palace means. However, it's against the rules to have so many people serve me in such a huge palace."
"If someone with ulterior motives were to submit a memorial to this princess, I would know that I only have the title but no real power. After much thought, I would rather eliminate all future troubles before I can find peace."
"This princess will not treat you unfairly. I will return your indentures today and give each of you ten taels of silver as compensation. Within three days, you will each leave the palace."
No one in the Prince Song's Mansion expected that such a result would happen after the funeral of Prince Song and his wife.
Some people cried and refused to leave. In order to make an example of them, Song Shumin found human traffickers to buy away those who refused to leave.
After that, no one dared to come forward and make trouble because Song Shumin was firm in her attitude.
Where good can one go after being sold by human traffickers?
Why not take the indenture and get ten taels of silver as compensation, and then be free and happy?
…
In Prince An's mansion, Zhao Yunzhu ordered people to move lounge chairs out to the yard for sun basking.
Linglong hurried in from outside.
"Miss."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Linglong in such a hurry, Zhao Yunzhu sat up and asked.
"It's being rumored that Princess Shumin sold out most of the servants in the palace."
"oh?"
Zhao Yunzhu didn't expect that Song Shumin's speed would be so fast.
She was not afraid of suspicion in the palace.
