Yan Gang wasn't afraid of Empress Sun investigating. Yesterday, the princess had miscarried, and the servants in the mansion were afraid of being implicated. Everyone was in a panic. As long as the princess could come to save her, who would care whether Granny Gu had returned or not?
Su Ruojin spoke up at the right moment, "Your Highness, yesterday when I came to the manor with Granny Gu, she said she had something else to do and did not come to the princess's room with me. I thought she might have other things to take care of and did not pay attention to it."
In this way, even if someone in the household says they haven't seen Granny Gu return, no one will suspect anything.
If it's half true and half false, it makes it even harder to determine whether it's true or false.
Anyway, the dead won't defend themselves.
Moreover, Granny Gu and the maids and coachmen who left the mansion with her had done countless bad things for Princess Anxing before, so their deaths were well-deserved.
Before coming to the princess's residence, Empress Sun had already learned about the situation and knew that the princess had indeed miscarried due to physical weakness, and there were no other abnormalities. There was no possibility that someone had harmed the princess.
Given that Granny Xie was beaten to death before, it's understandable that Granny Gu would be frightened and want to run away if she encountered something similar.
Now that this has happened, Anxing cannot do without Yan Gang, and Empress Sun does not want to cause any more trouble. It's just that a servant has died, so be it.
However, she still resented Su Ruojin. Hearing that the princess was ill, she still had the mind to take a bath. If she had arrived at the princess's residence earlier, Hui'er would not be in this state now.
However, it was Su Ruojin who saved Princess Anxing's life, and given her status as a princess from another country, Empress Sun couldn't easily retaliate.
She also wanted Su Ruojin to marry into the First Prince's household. Although she always felt something was wrong, she ultimately chose not to pursue the matter further.
It's not too late to settle this score after Su Ruojin marries into her godson's household.
"In that case, throw Granny Gu's body into the mass grave. Prince Consort, from now on you must take good care of the princess and not neglect her in the slightest," Empress Sun said.
"Your subject will certainly take good care of the princess with all his heart, please rest assured, Mother," Yan Gang immediately said.
"Princess Chang Le." Empress Sun then looked at Su Ruojin.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Since your medical skills are so superb, how about I entrust the princess to your care?"
Su Ruojin sneered inwardly; this Empress Sun was treating her, a princess, like a servant.
"Your Majesty, I will be returning to the Great Chu soon. The princess's health is not something that can be cured in a day or two. It would be more appropriate to entrust her to Imperial Physician Wang."
Empress Sun's face darkened. How could she not understand that Su Ruojin was reminding her that she was a princess of the Great Chu Kingdom, not someone she, the Empress of Yunqi, could order around at will?
"Princess, perhaps you'll fall in love with Yunqi and stay forever," Empress Sun said meaningfully.
Su Ruojin smiled faintly, "As the old saying goes, 'While one's parents are alive, one should not travel far.' My parents are still in the Great Chu. My father and brother are guarding the borders of the Great Chu to prevent invasion by other countries. Of course, I must go back to be with my mother."
Upon hearing this, Empress Sun said no more, turned and left with a flick of her sleeve, and a group of palace servants hurriedly followed her.
She could easily tell that Su Ruojin was using General Su to pressure her.
Yunqi and Da Chu had some friction on the border before, and the two sides fought back and forth. Yunqi suffered a lot of losses under General Su.
Su Ruojin deliberately reminded her, but how could Empress Sun be happy about it?
Once outside the palace, Empress Sun said, "Kill all those people for me. Make it clean and don't let anyone know."
Granny Kong knew that the Empress was referring to the male concubines that Princess Anxing was secretly keeping in her villa and estate.
The princess had already killed a group of people when she was pregnant, and then she secretly raised another group behind the empress's back.
The princess's current state is undoubtedly related to those male concubines; how could the empress allow them to live?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Send someone to keep an eye on the prince consort, and absolutely do not allow him to have affairs outside."
Since the princess cannot wake up, the prince consort must never touch another woman again and must remain chaste for Hui'er.
Princess Anxing considered Qinniang nothing more than an ant and didn't take her seriously, so she didn't tell Empress Sun about Qinniang's affairs.
This saved Su Ruojin a lot of trouble.
