"Sister..!"
Yun Jue's face flushed red, and Doctor Du, who was standing beside her, also looked a little embarrassed. He immediately turned to Qiao Yu:
"Greetings to Empress Lan."
"No need to be polite. I asked Doctor Du to be in Jue'er's yard. But is Jue'er feeling unwell?"
Faced with his elder sister's kindness, Yun Jue's face turned red and white, and it was obvious that he did not look like he was asking a royal physician to see a doctor.
Qiao Yu looked at Yun Jue winking at Du Ziyi and immediately understood.
"I deserve death. This has nothing to do with Miss Yun Jue. It's all my fault..."
Before Du Ziyi could take all the blame on himself, Qiao Yu signaled Zhu'er to help Du Ziyi up, then walked towards Yun Jue affectionately and patted her hand:
"My sister will tell me about some things. Since you have been responsible, I will not delve into it. I will decide how to deal with you after I have dealt with Yun Jue."
"Your Majesty, please do not blame Miss Yunjue. You may interrogate me. Whether it is punishment or death, I have no complaints."
Although it was Yun Jue who first fell in love with Du Ziyi, as a man, since he did not reject the girl's kindness, it meant that he also had responsibilities. How could he leave Yun Jue, a girl, to bear the consequences if something went wrong?
Yun Jue was deeply moved when she saw the man she admired protecting her. It turned out that she was not wasting her efforts alone. Love required responses from both sides to have a good result.
"What are you doing, Doctor Du? My queen was just asking about Third Miss's health. You checked her pulse to make sure she was fine. Why would my queen punish you?"
Zhu'er saw that the two mandarin ducks seemed to be going to the underworld together, so she hurriedly explained her good intentions to her young lady.
"Eldest sister..."
Yun Jue was so moved that she didn't know what to say. Du Ziyi had been working in the harem for so long, even if he was dull, he would have reacted. Concubine Lan had no intention of separating them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
Even so, Du Ziyi still looked at Yun Jue with concern before leaving. His reluctant look made Qiao Yu laugh out of anger.
However, considering that she was usually honest and easy to take care of, Qiao Yu did not intend to hold them against each other. After all, she was not an ancient person and was not that feudal.
She cares so much about the love between men and women... Wait, maybe she can help her cheap sister:
"Yun Jue, tell me what happened between you and that Doctor Du."
"Lord Du and I..."
It turned out that Qiao Yu had asked Imperial Physician Du to go to the Hua Mansion from time to time to take care of Jinniang. Yun Jue fell in love with this young woman who was waiting to be married and the gentle and handsome imperial physician.
But Du Ziyi knew that he was not worthy of Yun Jue because of his status, so he always avoided Yun Jue on purpose. But as the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man, and this man is also afraid of a good woman, so he couldn't help but be moved.
Qiao Yu just listened quietly to Yun Jue telling the whole story of her acquaintance with Doctor Du, and looked at Yun Jue who seemed to be immersed in honey while narrating their story. She was afraid that she was already deeply involved in it.
Well, she hasn't done all the bad things.
"Yun Jue, do you want to marry Du Ziyi?"
Yun Jue didn't resist this not-so-close sister touching her hair, but she was willing to get married straight away, and the other party was Du Ziyi.
"Of course I am willing, but... it's too fast, and what if Chu Cong doesn't necessarily want to marry me... I don't want to force him..."
Chu Cong is Du Ziyi's pen name, and Yun Jue likes to call him that. At first, Du Ziyi said it was inappropriate and asked Yun Jue not to call him that, but later he said it was useless and just let him do it.
"Silly girl, did you see that Du Ziyi didn't seem to be willing to do it just now?"
"But..."
Yun Jue was still hesitant, so Qiao Yu put away the smile on his face and spoke seriously:
"I happened to see you today by accident. Anyone with eyes can see that the atmosphere between you is not right. I have imprisoned Concubine Yao, but I don't know how much more stupid things our father will do."
Yun Jue remembered that Qiao Yu had just lost his child. The murderer was his second sister, and she deserved to be thrown into jail. However, it did not mean that his eldest sister was safe at this time.
If there is any disturbance around her, the enemy will have the upper hand:
"I would like to thank you for your help. I'll have to trouble you to help Yun Jue with everything."
Now that she has become the county lady thanks to her elder sister, that taciturn man will certainly be even more reluctant to marry her. She can also feel that Doctor Du has been deliberately distancing himself from her more than before these days.
If she hadn't pretended to be sick tonight, she wouldn't have been able to deceive Chu Cong, let alone get help from her elder sister.
"However, I will have to give you some time to do so. Tomorrow I will send someone to ask the Emperor for permission to choose a date for you and Du Ziyi to get married."
So soon? Yun Jue felt a little uneasy, but her elder sister must have her own reasons for making such arrangements, so she didn't ask unless she explained.
In ancient times, the most important thing for a woman in her life was marriage. Qiao Yu was willing to explain to her why they were so hastily married:
"I don't have many days left to visit my parents, but I don't know how to face the Emperor. I want to avoid him for a while. But don't worry, I will compensate you with a dowry."
"Sister, there's no need to do this. Yun Jue is willing."
Everyone only sees the glory of Concubine Lan, but who can truly understand the sadness beneath the glory?
If Qiao Yu knew what this girl was thinking, he would definitely sneer. No matter how sad she was behind the scenes, everyone had to worship her in front of others, so how could she be sad?
Qiao Yu knew that Sufang was the emperor's person, so he asked her to go to the palace in person to ask for permission.
"Your Highness...doesn't want to see me?"
Men are like this. You can feel awkward and ignore the other person, but you will feel unbalanced if the other person ignores you.
