Aunt Hua helped her wash and dress, and talked about her worries.
When she was living in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, Empress Liu had not sent anyone except for the incident caused by Madam Du.
Now that she has returned to the Ninth Prince's residence, this matter is a little difficult to say.
Xiao Min finished the things at hand and hurried over to reply.
"Concubine Yun,"
After not seeing each other for a few days, Xiao Min felt a little excited when she suddenly saw Zhao Yunzhu.
Zhao Yunzhu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite.
Then he asked about the recent situation in the mansion, and Xiao Min answered one by one.
Everything in the mansion is normal these days.
"Concubine Du is back today."
Zhao Yunzhu was stunned. "How is Concubine Du's health? Has Doctor Li examined her?"
"The doctor of the Li Mansion has gone to check on Concubine Du. She is fine now, but—"
Xiao Min looked a little embarrassed, and Zhao Yunzhu looked up.
"Concubine Du now has a new steward by her side, a gift from the Empress."
"Okay, I know everything. Go back and rest."
Without asking any further questions, Zhao Yunzhu guessed something.
The people rewarded by Empress Liu were naturally there to support Du Jiaojiao. Now that Du Jiaojiao is the empress, who knows how proud she will be.
The tranquility of the Ninth Prince's residence is about to be broken.
Before she could meet Du Jiaojiao, a carriage came from the palace to take her into the palace.
This time, she couldn't refuse.
As usual, she only brought Aunt Hua and Linglong with her. Xiaomin wanted to go along, but was politely declined by Zhao Yunzhu.
The carriage stopped outside the palace. She took Nanny Hua's arm and stepped on the pedal to get off the carriage.
He followed the nanny into the palace in silence.
The atmosphere in the palace was dead and gloomy, and the gloomy sky was oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.
The palace maids walked in a hurry with serious expressions.
"Her Majesty the Queen, be safe and sound."
Zhao Yunzhu stepped into the main hall and saw Empress Liu in luxurious court robes. Although she was old, her appearance was extremely well maintained, and the years seemed to have left no traces on her cheeks.
The noble demeanor exudes an oppressive aura.
Queen Liu, who was sitting on the high seat, did not move at all and accepted Zhao Yunzhu's kneeling gift.
Since Queen Liu didn't say anything, Zhao Yunzhu could only continue kneeling.
The maid brought tea and then left.
Queen Liu cleared her throat and said, "Get up."
The maid led her to sit down.
"It's really difficult for me to see you."
Queen Liu fiddled with the beads in her hand without even raising her eyelids, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Empress, this is all my fault."
Zhao Yunzhu only took the blame on herself. Could it be that Queen Liu really didn't know why the Yong'an Marquis and his wife took her in?
Of course she knew it, but Empress Liu just couldn't break off relations with the Yong'an Marquisate.
Now that the matter is settled, it's natural for him to vent his anger on her.
No matter what she said, it was wrong, so she might as well take all the blame on herself.
"Oh, he's quite clever."
"Never mind. I called you here today simply to have you copy Buddhist scriptures for the Emperor in the palace, to pray for His Majesty's speedy recovery. The Ninth Prince is not in Chang'an, so I will have you fulfill your filial duty on his behalf."
Once Queen Liu said this, Zhao Yunzhu naturally had no excuse to refute.
He stood up and responded respectfully.
Queen Liu waved her hand and asked the palace maids to take her away.
Until the palace maid took her to a palace full of decay, next to the cold palace.
Zhao Yunzhu frowned slightly, but remained silent.
The palace maid waited for the person to arrive before leaving.
The master, his servants and the other two knew very well that they should keep quiet in the palace, so they quietly cleaned the room where they would sleep at night.
With what Empress Liu said today, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave the palace for a while.
In the evening, the palace maids brought two piles of scriptures, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as oil lamps.
"Concubine Yun, the Empress said that she would come back in three days to take the scriptures Concubine Yun copied and burn them at Baohua Temple to pray for Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Queen, for your care."
Zhao Yunzhu didn't say much, and Aunt Hua sent the person away.
When he came back and saw the scriptures piled high on the desk, he frowned and said, "Miss, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish copying them in three days even if we don't eat or drink."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen is clearly deliberately making things difficult for the young lady."
Linglong agreed with a bitter face.
Zhao Yunzhu flipped through the scriptures casually, his expression also solemn.
Yes, how could I possibly copy it all in three days? The Queen was clearly deliberately making things difficult for me.
Whether you plagiarize or not, you will be criticized in the end.
"Don't worry, get some sleep today and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Because this palace is next to the cold palace, screams and wailing can be heard from the cold palace from time to time at night. In the middle of the night, it makes people's hair stand on end and it is impossible to sleep.
The noise from the cold palace made it impossible for Zhao Yunzhu to sleep.
Aunt Hua and Linglong were exhausted after a whole day, but now they were sleeping soundly.
She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
He simply got up quietly, put on his coat, and left the room in the dark.
His body seemed to be out of control as he walked towards the source of the sound little by little.
Boom boom boom.
The wall connecting to the cold palace was suddenly hit by a stick.
She squatted down, wanting to find out what was going on, and suddenly discovered that there was a faint light coming through the wall.
Looking closely, the sound of sticks hitting the wall was heard again.
Someone in the cold palace actually wanted to break through the wall. Zhao Yunzhu was stunned for a while when she saw this result.
She just stood there quietly.
I watched as someone chiseled the wall from time to time.
