Chapter 1405 Leaving the Palace and Returning Home

At Zhou's residence, not long after Zhao and Yudie left, the palace lady came to invite Zhulan into the palace.

Zhulan's heart skipped a beat and she carefully observed the female official's expression. Unfortunately, they were all shrewd people in the palace and it was difficult to tell anything from their faces.

Zhulan changed her clothes and came out. She didn't ask the female official. It was useless to ask. If she wanted to tell you, she would have revealed some information just now. Now she kept her mouth shut, and you knew she had been warned.

She was not worried about her granddaughter because the emperor and the empress dowager were both in the palace. Even if the sky was broken, there were still the two biggest ones to protect her. She was worried about Yu Jiao.

On the other side, Zhao and Yudie arrived at Liu's house first. Yudie was very good at pretending outside, but after entering the Liu's house, she walked forward without looking around.

Liu Yuanbo's servant was hiding nearby. When he saw the person coming, his eyes widened. Oh, isn't this the third lady of the Zhou family that the young master has been thinking about? He turned around and ran away.

The servant was also secretly amazed. The old man was a very stingy person, but he was very generous to the mistress. The mistress spent money like water, but the old man didn't say a word. The young master was also stingy, and finally he fell in love with the third daughter of the Zhou family. Both the old man and the young master had good taste.

In the future, when the third lady of the Zhou family really gets engaged to the young master, his good days will come.

As servants and maids, they naturally wanted to follow a generous master, and they were very much looking forward to the engagement between the young master and the third young lady of the Zhou family.

Mrs. Guo came out with a smile, "I was just saying that it's time to arrive. Please come in quickly."

Zhao curled her lips and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look better now."

Guo said with a double meaning, "I am in a good mood when I am happy."

Zhao thought to herself, "Pooh, there is going to be good news before the fortune is even started."

After entering the house and sitting down, Guo had already prepared seasonal fruits and some snacks. Guo said to Zhao, "I heard you say that Yudie likes to eat these kinds of snacks, so I bought some more."

Zhao saw it when she came in. Guo had only asked her once, and she didn't reveal much, just a few things, which were said a long time ago. Guo actually remembered them in her heart. Zhao felt relieved, "I'm so embarrassed."

Guo smiled and said, "I just like Yudie. I felt a special affinity with her the first time I saw her."

If she didn't want to marry him as her daughter-in-law, she really wanted to find him a godparent. She always wanted to give birth to a daughter who looked like her, but unfortunately she injured her body after giving birth to her second son and never got pregnant again.

The granddaughter born to the eldest son has a temperament more like that of the eldest daughter-in-law, well-behaved and clever. She is now particularly looking forward to Yudie's marriage. If Yudie gives birth to a granddaughter like her, just thinking about the painful and pampering faces of the old man and son in the future makes her happy!

Liu Yuanbo heard the servant's words in his own yard, and was secretly glad that he didn't really leave. His mother asked him to go back to the yard, so he stayed there obediently. As expected, his mother loved to trick him the most.

Liu Yuanbo stood up and walked back and forth. He wanted to wait for news from his mother, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart because Miss Zhou came to the house.

The servant hid in the back and laughed, thinking that his fate was truly miraculous. Sooner or later, someone would be able to discipline the young master, and they, the servants who followed the young master, would be able to receive more rewards in the future.

At the palace gate, Zhulan got off the carriage and heard a noise behind her. A carriage stopped behind her own carriage. She waited for the people in the carriage to get off. She knew her. It was the old lady of the Shangguan family.

The old lady also saw Zhulan and felt a little relieved. She was afraid that she would be invited alone. You know, after the imperial edict came out, the Shangguan family had a future crown princess. How many people wanted to win over the Shangguan family. This time Li'er entered the palace. They were afraid that Li'er would be plotted against, thus affecting Jia'er.

Zhu Lan greeted first, "Old Madam, you are also invited into the palace?"

The old lady nodded, "The Countess too?"

Zhulan looked back. Great, there were no other carriages behind. It seemed that only the two families were invited. "Yes."

The two looked at each other in silence. This matter was not simple and they were worried again.

As the female official entered the palace, the two did not continue their conversation, as the palace was not a place for communication.

They soon arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom. When Zhulan came in, she saw that everyone was there, even the Empress was there, so it was obvious that something serious had happened.

Her eyes quickly searched for Yujiao and Linxi, but neither of them were there. She also didn't see any other girls, which made her a little confused.

Zhulan walked into the hall and greeted everyone. The Empress Dowager gestured for her to stand up and even gave her a seat.

This made Zhulan even more cautious, and she felt very nervous. She did not feel relieved at all because she was given a seat.

The queen was not in good spirits and could not hold on for much longer, so she wanted to go back and rest.

The Queen Mother was always keeping an eye on the Queen. Now that everyone was present, she said, "Please invite the two ladies into the palace. There are two young ladies from different families."

The Empress Dowager paused and continued, "Don't be nervous, madams. They were just a little frightened. The imperial physician has checked and they are fine. They can leave the palace with you today. As for other matters, you two madams understand what you can and cannot say, right?"

Zhulan's heart dropped to the ground. She understood that her granddaughter was the victim and that the harem was involved. "Yes, I understand."

But the anger in my heart kept rising.

Madam Shangguan breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand."

The Empress Dowager nodded and signaled the court lady to take the two men to see their granddaughters.

The Empress Dowager had given the order, and now that there were no outsiders in the palace, her face suddenly darkened, and she stared at Liu with sharp eyes, "Liu is confined to copying scriptures for half a year. As for the Second Prince's wife, Your Majesty is free to consider."

Then he said to the queen with concern: "You are tired too, go back and rest."

The Queen was very tired, but seeing that Concubine Liu had suffered a great setback, she was happy. If she had not been concerned about the Second Prince and the Liu family, Concubine Liu would not have been merely confined to her house today.

The queen stood up and said, "Mother, I will go back first."

"Well, be careful on the way back."

The Queen: "Yes."

When the Queen passed by Liu, she saw her sitting on the ground. There was sarcasm in her eyes and she couldn't help sighing in her heart. Liu's plan was also for her mother's family behind her.

Maternal family, the queen no longer felt happy. Her own maternal family had already gotten enough, so why were they still not satisfied?

Zhulan and the old lady of the Shangguan family saw Yujiao and Shangguanli, two little girls living together, which they had never expected.

Zhulan and the old lady looked at each other, and became closer to each other. Their smiles became more sincere. The two little girls were talking in a quilt, head to head, and the two girls had a good relationship.

Zhulan coughed, and Yujiao looked at her and was surprised, "Grandma."

Shangguan Li also cried out in surprise, "Grandma."

Zhulan saw that her granddaughter was fine, but she was still worried, "Come here quickly so that grandma can take a good look at her."

Yujiao is a spoiled girl. She was very scared today. She felt wronged when she saw her grandmother. She couldn't cry when she didn't see her grandmother. Her cousin watched over her and secretly told her not to say anything and not to leave the house. After her cousin was taken away by the female official, she became scared.

Shangguan Li couldn't help it anymore. As a child who was brought up being spoiled, she threw herself into her grandmother's arms and started crying in grievance.

Zhulan signaled the maid to pack her luggage. The maid who had entered the palace with her was still there, wondering what had happened. She said, "Okay, we won't cry anymore. Grandma is here to take you home."

Yujiao, "Really?"

"When has grandma ever lied to you?"

Yu Jiao stopped crying and said, "My granddaughter will go change her clothes now."
