Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin had no intention of interfering in the affairs of Xiaoyue Kingdom; they only wanted to resolve Dapu's matter and bring the two children back safely.
Meanwhile, at Princess Yuening's residence.
When Yuening woke up and learned what had happened to her, she smashed the whole room, her eyes red, and her hands pounded on the table.
"Zhao Ruojin! You dare to harm me, I will never forgive you!"
Yuening wasn't stupid. She had arranged these three guards for Su Ruojin, but in the end, she was the one who fell into the trap.
Not only that, she was also nearly killed and lost her fertility.
How could Yuening tolerate this?
Fortunately, Lu Junyuan had been busy these past few days and hadn't come to see her, giving her time to rest and preventing him from becoming suspicious.
A maidservant brought in a bowl of medicine. "Princess, it's time to take your medicine."
Yuening took the medicine bowl, took a sip, and then smashed the bowl at the maid, saying, "It's so bitter, how am I supposed to drink it?"
The little maid, ignoring the pain from the medicine bowl and the medicine stains all over her body, hurriedly knelt down, pleading, "Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me!"
Yuening felt a lump in her throat and kicked the maid to the ground again.
Fortunately, Yuening was weak at the time and had little strength in her legs, so the little maid only fell to the ground due to the force and was not seriously injured.
At this moment, Mu Hua came in carrying a bowl of medicine and a plate of candied fruit. Seeing this scene, her eyes remained calm and her tone was composed.
"Princess, don't get angry with those ignorant servants. The imperial physician said that you need to take your medicine to recover sooner. Your wedding day with your husband is just around the corner, so you must take good care of yourself. I've brought you some candied fruit; taking a bite of candied fruit after taking your medicine will make it less bitter."
Hearing what Mu Hua said, Yu Ning glanced at the medicine in her hand, reluctantly took it and drank it down.
Mu Hua looked at the little maid who was still kneeling, "Get out of here, you eyesore!"
The maidservant quickly got up, bowed, and left.
Mu Hua took the empty bowl and offered a piece of candied fruit, saying, "Princess, have a piece of candied fruit."
Yuening took a jujube and put it in her mouth, which eased the bitterness a little.
"Mu Hua, I should have let you serve me. You are much smarter than Mu Qin."
Mu Hua smiled slightly, "Being able to serve the princess is a blessing I have accumulated over many lifetimes."
Mu Qin has been dealt with by Empress Dowager Wu, and Mu Hua has been reassigned to serve Yue Ning.
"Mu Hua, go and convey my order: have the guards in the manor arrest Zhao Ruojin for me! I want to kill that vile woman!"
"Princess, the imperial physician said you should not overexert yourself recently, and the Empress Dowager has instructed you to rest and recuperate at home," Mu Hua advised.
In fact, Empress Dowager Wu's original words were, "Keep a close eye on the princess for me. Don't let her cause any more trouble before the wedding, or Mu Hua, you won't be able to live either."
Upon hearing this, Yuening slapped Mu Hua across the face, "Whose servant are you anyway? How dare you use the Empress Dowager to intimidate me? Aren't you afraid I'll beat you to death!"
One second she was praising Mu Hua for being smart, the next she was slapping her. Since waking up, Yu Ning has become even more unpredictable.
Mu Hua seemed to have gotten used to all of this, and didn't even cover her reddened face, but calmly bowed.
“Princess, if this matter gets out of hand and Young Master Lu finds out, it could damage your reputation and potentially affect your wedding.”
Yuening fell silent; Mu Hua's words made sense.
If she were to deal with a merchant's wife for no reason, and Lu Junyuan were to ask about it, she might have a reason to make excuses, but it might also make Lu Junyuan think that she was willful and capricious, thus affecting her image in Lu Junyuan's eyes.
"Mu Hua, escort me into the palace. I am going to see the Empress Dowager." Yu Ning's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
When Empress Dowager Wu heard that Yuening had arrived, she was somewhat surprised. "Didn't the imperial physician tell her to rest well? Why has she come to the palace?"
Granny Hui took the bowl of bird's nest from Empress Dowager Wu's hand, "Perhaps the princess has something urgent to discuss with Your Majesty."
"Let her in."
