The last time I saw her look this disheveled was when I rescued her from the fire; she was covered in soot.
The tiny body was curled up in a ball.
Jin Jinzhi felt a bittersweet feeling in his heart. He picked a flower from the flowerpot on the table and put it in Yun Duoduo's mouth.
The clouds sucked on the nectar from the flowers, which tasted sweet and fragrant.
The two were very close. Looking at Jin Jinzhi's beautiful eyes and handsome face, Yun Duoduo couldn't help but reach out and touch Jin Jinzhi's face.
Wow, his skin is so smooth! He grew up in northern Xinjiang, exposed to the wind and sun every day, how come his skin is still so good?
[This delicate and supple face is almost better than her pampered one.]
Last time in the Buddhist hall, you came to my rescue just in time. This time, someone tried to suffocate me with a sack, and you came back just in time to save me. It's so good to have you.
Jin Jinzhi let Yun Duoduo's hand, which had just wiped her nose, haphazardly touch his face, watching as the expression on her face slowly changed from panic, gloom, and anger to relaxation, joy, and peace of mind.
...
Just then, Yun Beiye suddenly pushed open the door to the Fu Shuang Palace's sleeping quarters.
"Duoduo, Duoduo!" Yun Beiye rushed in in a panic. Hearing that an assassin had entered Fushuang Palace, his heart was in his throat.
What would he do if his precious daughter were to die at the hands of an assassin?!
He was extremely annoyed. He shouldn't have let Jin Jinzhi and the others leave Fushuang Palace. Apart from these few lads, the other guards really couldn't guard Fushuang Palace!
"Duoduo, Daddy's here! Father Emperor's here! Ah!"
Yunbei ran to the window at night and saw a ray of sunlight shining on Jin Jinzhi. He and his beloved daughter were looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
Suddenly, Yun Beiye felt a sense of foreboding. He felt a sour and bitter taste in his mouth. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Jin Jinzhi with a slightly wary expression.
"Yes, Jinzhi has arrived." Yun Beiye composed himself, his face once again displaying the expression often used by monarchs.
"Give it to me."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects." Hearing the voice behind him, Jin Jinzhi noticed that the emperor was standing behind him. He patted Yun Duoduo on the back and sent her out.
Yun Beiye reached out and took Yun Duoduo, holding her in his arms.
"I'm sorry, my dear daughter."
Yun Beiye wiped away the tears from Yun Duoduo's eyes, held her and gently rocked her, patting the embroidered quilt wrapped around Yun Duoduo to comfort her.
"Zhao Zhongquan, thoroughly investigate everyone in the palace!"
Standing at the door, Zhao Zhongquan trembled upon hearing the emperor's roar, and a sense of foreboding washed over him!
"Yes, Your Majesty," Zhao Zhongquan replied in a low voice.
“Your Majesty, I believe this sack might be important evidence.” Jin Jinzhi picked up the sack that was the culprit, walked to the door, and handed it to Zhao Zhongquan.
"Thank you, Young Master Jin." Zhao Zhongquan took the sack, bowed his head, and walked to Yun Beiye's side.
He's in a real bind. He still hasn't found the arsonist at the Buddhist temple, and now this guy with a sack over his head has appeared. How is he supposed to investigate this?!
A thought flashed through his mind: could these two assassination attempts have been carried out by the same person or the same group of people?
“Jinzhi, tell Zhao Zhongquan everything you see and help him investigate.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Zhao Zhongquan, summon Commander Xiao of the Imperial Guards to see me immediately! How did he manage to discipline these guards? A single assassin managed to defeat this entire group of guards?!"
"And what about that assassin who escaped through the window? Has he been caught yet?!"
"Yes, yes, this old servant will go and summon Commander Xiao right away."
Yun Beiye was extremely dissatisfied. The repeated assassinations in the palace had made him unable to tolerate it any longer. He even wanted to move all the concubines and suspected people out of the palace.
However, the other princes also need their mothers, and this seems unfair to those children.
Yun Beiye was conflicted and torn. Every time she thought about what her daughter had gone through, her heart ached.
He, the dignified Emperor of Nanyang, couldn't even protect his daughter.
Fortunately, Jin Jinzhi and the others were there and protected his daughter's safety in time.
Yun Beiye pondered for a long time, and looking at Yun Duoduo's tearful appearance, an idea came to mind.
It's better to rely on yourself than on others. As long as her daughter improves her martial arts skills, she can protect herself.
Yun Beiye gritted his teeth, stuffed his daughter back into Jin Jinzhi's arms, and strode towards Shouchang Palace.
Jin Jinzhi gently placed Yun Duoduo on the bed while holding her. He suddenly noticed that his younger sister, Jin Zhuangzhuang, was lying motionless on the bed.
He was startled and quickly reached out to check Jin Zhuangzhuang's breathing. Seeing that she was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
...
After leaving Shouchang Palace, Yunbei walked towards Zichen Palace.
"Your Majesty, Commander Xiao is already waiting in the Zichen Palace." Zhao Zhongquan quickly caught up with Yun Beiye.
"Hmm, what did he say about the assassin?"
"What Commander Xiao means is that after hearing Jin Jin's shout that there was an assassin, the guards near Fu Shuang Palace immediately went out, but they did not catch the assassin."
"This assassin is very likely someone from the palace."
"Continue the search. This matter is entirely under your and Commander Xiao's responsibility. You must give me an explanation."
"And what about the Buddhist temple? Why is there still no result?" Yun Beiye stopped in his tracks, staring at Zhao Zhongquan with a look of dissatisfaction and anger on his face.
Zhao Zhongquan trembled all over and said in a shaky voice, "Uh, uh, this old servant, this old servant is investigating with all his might."
"Hmph, I'll give you seven more days. If you still can't find out, you'll come back with your head!"
Zhao Zhongquan was on the verge of tears, and followed behind Yun Beiye with his head hanging low.
...
After the start of spring, the weather gradually warms up faster.
There's no longer a need to burn incense and charcoal day and night for warmth inside Fu Shuang Palace.
Several old women sat at the table chatting idly.
"Winter is finally almost over, and the trees in the yard are already sprouting new buds." Granny Liu looked out the window with a smile on her face.
"That's right, winter is so cold! Every time I go outside, my ears feel like they're going to freeze off! I love this vibrant spring season the most."
"In the courtyard, there are also oxalis plants that Her Majesty the Empress ordered to be planted."
"Yes, if you ask me, in this entire harem, Her Majesty the Empress cares for our little princess the most!"
Oxygen (cù) sorrel? !
When Yun Duoduo heard about wood sorrel, she immediately became interested. It was her favorite plant, known for its heat-clearing and detoxifying properties, as well as its ability to reduce swelling and treat dermatitis and eczema. She no longer had to worry about Zhuangzhuang's illness!
It also saved us the money for a medicine box!
Moreover, the umbel-shaped flowers of the oxalis are very cute and pretty, just like her.
According to Granny Liu, the irises and orchids in the courtyard have already formed flower buds, and some have even bloomed with small purple flowers.
Yun Duoduo was overjoyed and reached out her arms for Yun Beiye to hug her.
