She knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed repeatedly, "I was blind and didn't recognize Tan Shan. I offended Concubine Yun. I beg Concubine Yun to forgive me and forgive me this time."
"You'll get the money, and I'll take the person away. We'll be even."
Zhao Yunzhu stuffed a hundred taels of silver into Mother Zhu's hands, and Mother Zhu hurriedly handed over Daya's indenture contract with both hands.
Daya cried with joy, knelt in front of Zhao Yunzhu, and kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.
"Concubine Yun's great kindness will be unforgettable to me, your servant!"
"Get up."
Zhao Yunzhu helped Daya up. Mother Zhu held the hundred taels of silver notes tightly in her hand, feeling unwilling.
But she didn't dare to make trouble again.
"stop!"
After taking only two steps, a quick and cold voice sounded behind him.
Mother Zhu turned around and looked behind her, and when she saw the person coming, she felt as if she had seen a savior.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here."
Zhao Yunzhu paused, looked behind her, and her eyes suddenly darkened.
Who else could be standing with Mother Zhu except the Fifth Prince who was named the Virtuous King?
"Now my ninth brother is the favorite of the Empress Dowager, and his wife has also become arrogant."
There was a murderous look on the wise king's face.
A pair of eyes were like cold knives, chilling to the bone.
"A wise king."
Zhao Yunzhu bowed and saluted.
She didn't want to argue with the wise king on the street.
"Why, do you look down on me, Fifth Brother?"
The wise king narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of calculation in his eyes.
Zhao Yunzhu felt extremely uncomfortable seeing this.
"Fifth Brother."
She changed her tune again.
The wise king saw that she had no intention of paying attention to him, but he did not want to let Zhao Yunzhu go easily.
She couldn't let others laugh at her in public.
"This girl is from the Full Moon Tower. You can't take her away today, Ninth Brother's sister-in-law!"
Daya's body was trembling.
There was fear in his eyes.
The next second, a servant came forward and tried to pull her away.
Zhao Yunzhu protected Daya behind him, took out Daya's indenture contract, and bowed to the virtuous king again, "Virtuous king, this is the indenture contract. Now, she is mine. If the virtuous king insists on fighting with me, why not go to the emperor to make a scene?"
"Haha, what a clever mouth!"
"Man Yue Tower belongs to me, so any deal must be approved by me before it's final. Things in the hands of my ninth brother's wife are not valid!"
Zhao Yunzhu frowned, never expecting that the wise king was behind the Full Moon Tower.
"Wise King, could you please do me a favor today for the sake of King An?"
Zhao Yunzhu lowered his tone.
But the wise king did not buy it. He made up his mind today to take Daya back from Zhao Yunzhu.
For no other reason.
He would be happy as long as the Tong'an Palace sang a different tune.
"I don't agree."
Seeing that the wise king was unmoved by his persuasion, Zhao Yunzhu secretly thought of a countermeasure.
"Sister-in-law, I advise you to stay out of the house as my ninth brother is not in Chang'an these days."
The wise king curled his lips and sneered.
Zhao Yunzhu remained silent, but blocked the way with her body, showing no intention of backing down.
The wise king lost his patience and winked at the servant behind him.
It looked like they were about to use force.
The crowd of onlookers retreated. There were important people on both sides, and they couldn't afford to offend them.
Whenever he took a step forward, he was afraid of offending either side.
Aunt Hua and Linglong protected Zhao Yunzhu on their left and right.
Daya had just seen a glimmer of hope, but now she was facing the wise king. She felt sad and was afraid that she would not be able to escape today.
She didn't want to implicate Zhao Yunzhu, as meeting her was already the greatest blessing.
"Concubine Yun, forget it. This is my fate. Please don't worry about me. It's not easy for you either. You are the only one left in the Zhao family!"
The word "Zhao family" pierced Zhao Yunzhu's heart.
She didn't expect to hear the word Zhao family again from an unrelated person.
When Daya mentioned the Zhao family, there was no emotion in her eyes.
"Daya, don't worry, no matter what happens today, I will take you away!"
Zhao Yunzhu turned to look at the virtuous king and chuckled, "Why would you bother with a woman like me, virtuous king? Aren't you afraid of losing the reputation you've earned through your glorious military exploits on the battlefield? If this matter becomes a big deal, I'm afraid it will only do you harm and no good!"
Every word she said was full of pearls, but the wise king's eyes did not change at all.
"This girl, I will definitely marry her today!"
"What if I refuse to give in today?"
"Then don't blame me for being rude!"
The two forces were on the verge of a fight, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
It seemed that the situation was about to change drastically in the next second.
A sharp and piercing voice was heard, and everyone looked over, only to see a eunuch riding a horse towards them from the front.
"The imperial decree has arrived!"
As the eunuch pulled the reins in his hand, a neighing sound cut through the sky over Chang'an.
Everyone looked at each other, and when they saw the imperial edict in the eunuch's hand, they knelt down in panic.
The virtuous king and Zhao Yunzhu also knelt down to receive the order.
"The Empress Dowager has decreed that Prince Xian and Concubine Yun come into the palace to speak."
The content of the imperial edict is concise and to the point.
The virtuous king frowned, feeling puzzled. Queen Mother Liu knew the news so quickly.
"This girl, come along too."
The eunuch pointed at Daya who was hiding behind Zhao Yunzhu, cleared his throat, and the shrill voice sounded again.
Daya looked at Zhao Yunzhu helplessly, hoping to gain some strength from her.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Hearing Zhao Yunzhu's extremely affirmative tone, Daya's heart finally felt relieved.
