"Empress Dowager, the princess has already left Huguo Temple." The maid whispered in the Empress Dowager's ear.
The Empress Dowager opened her eyes slightly and frowned for a while. "We missed the best opportunity today. Ask Master Zhen Yin to send her here. I will take her back to the palace."
The maid was shocked. "Empress Dowager, are we going to take her back like this?"
"Yes. Can't I take someone back? I just want to take a maid to serve me. Do I have to listen to anyone else? " The Empress Dowager said with a cold face. She had arranged all this to take care of the Emperor. Now she felt that as the Empress Dowager, couldn't she take a maid from outside the palace?
"This is the arrangement." The maid didn't dare to persuade her anymore. The Empress Dowager was not as kind and generous as she was two years ago. Even if she said something wrong, she would be forgiven. Now they didn't dare to say anything wrong.
Aunt Cheng was shocked. Who did the Empress Dowager want to take back?
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and looked at her. "When I came to Huguo Temple last time, I heard that there was a pitiful girl near the foot of the mountain. Her father was seriously ill and she had to support him alone. Now she can't even afford his coffin and can only sell herself to bury him. I see that she is pitiful and has a backbone, so I asked Master Zhen Yin to bring her back. I can take her back to the palace to be a maid."
Aunt Cheng was shocked. "Empress Dowager, this person from outside the palace is of unknown origin. Can she be brought into the palace?"
"Isn't she just the daughter of an ordinary family? What unknown origin?" The Empress Dowager snorted disapprovingly.
"Empress Dowager …" Aunt Cheng wanted to persuade her. Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly want to bring a girl back? Who was that girl? Aunt Cheng had a bold and terrible guess in her heart. But she felt that it was impossible. The Empress Dowager wouldn't do that.
She thought of the Empress Dowager's changes in the past six months and felt that anything was possible.
The Empress Dowager said unhappily, "What's wrong? Could it be that aijia needs to report to His Majesty to bring a servant girl back and obtain His Majesty's approval? "
Aunt Cheng looked at the Empress Dowager in horror and hurriedly knelt down, "Empress Dowager …"
"Alright, aijia didn't say anything to you, there's no need to be so alarmed. She's just a commoner, what can His Majesty say if he finds out?" The Empress Dowager looked at Cheng Gugu from the corner of her eyes. "Jinrong, aijia and you have been friends for several decades. There are some things that aijia doesn't need to say, you should know what to do. Based on this little bit of friendship, aijia has treated you well, don't you think?"
Yes … … Hearing this, Aunt Cheng's forehead began to sweat. She already understood the meaning behind the Empress Dowager's words. Did she already know that the emperor had come to ask her?
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction. "That's good. You've always been a clear-minded person, so you naturally know what I'm talking about."
Auntie Cheng mumbled her assent.
"It's getting late. Let's get ready to return to the palace," the Empress Dowager said.
On the way back, Aunt Cheng wanted to see what the commoner girl that the Empress Dowager had brought back to the palace looked like. However, the palace maids seemed to have done it on purpose and hid the commoner girl very tightly. Aunt Cheng couldn't find a chance to see her at all.
Aunt Cheng was very hesitant. Should she tell the emperor about this when she returned to the palace?
If she did, the Empress Dowager probably wouldn't let her off.
… …
… …
"Father, so this is the capital." Zhuo Su 'er's face was full of surprise. Compared to Phoenix Tree City … no, compared to all the other places she had been to.
"That's right, this is the capital, right under the feet of the Emperor." The Jin Country wasn't supposed to be the Jin Country, but the Jing Country.
Zhuo Su 'er asked excitedly, "Father, what are we going to do now?"
"Many people in Qian Luosha have been bribed by Teng Ye. All these years, I haven't asked much about Qian Luosha. Now, I want to ask but I can't. We can only go to the capital to find those who can help us." Elder Zhuo said lightly as he looked out the window at the bustling streets.
"Father, no matter how much we do, it's useless if Eldest Senior Brother doesn't appreciate it." Zhuo Su 'er already knew Zhuo Yunyu's identity. When she first found out, she was very shocked. Now, she had calmed down and thought things through.
Zhuo Yunyu's identity sounded noble and mysterious, but the current Emperor of the Jin Country wasn't easy to pull down. Qian Luosha wasn't as loyal to the previous dynasty's royal family as before. How could her father win this battle with just his hot-bloodedness?
"As long as I arrange everything, he won't be able to refuse." Elder Zhuo said lightly.
Zhuo Su 'er curled her lips. She didn't think much of it.
"You are Yunyu's fiancee. You have a mission to help him take back what belongs to him. In the future, you will be the mother of the world, and our Zhuo Family will also be honored." Elder Zhuo said in a low voice.
"Father, if you want me to marry Eldest Senior Brother, then Eldest Senior Brother has to be willing to marry me. Now that he's returned to Green Cloud Villa, he even announced to the public that he's not welcoming guests. It's obvious that he doesn't want to see you. Why lower his status?" Zhuo Su 'er said.
Elder Zhuo glared at her. "What do you know?"
"Alright, I'll pretend I don't know anything. So what are we going to do now?" Zhuo Su 'er asked.
"I bought a house in the capital. It's not big, but it's exquisite. We'll settle down here first, and we'll decide what to do after I contact other like-minded people from before. It's not like you have nothing to do. I've had people investigate, and Rong Zhan is heading in the direction of the capital. Go and find out just who he is," Elder Zhuo instructed. "Alright.
Hearing that Elder Zhuo wanted her to find Third Senior Brother, Zhuo Su 'er immediately agreed.
Because they entered the main street, their carriage slowed down. Zhuo Su 'er leaned against the window and watched the scene outside. Suddenly, a carriage blocked her view. She couldn't see the scenery on the other side of the street. Zhuo Su' er was a little unhappy and glared at the carriage next to her.
A light breeze blew the curtains of the opposite carriage up a corner, and a figure flashed past.
Zhuo Su 'er froze. Was she seeing things?
Why did she seem to see that Ye woman?
"What are you doing?" Elder Zhuo asked unhappily.
Zhuo Su 'er lowered the curtains. "I was just curious."
She shouldn't be seeing things. If it really was that Ye woman, then Third Senior Brother was here.
Great, she could see Third Senior Brother again.
"Father, who is Third Senior Brother?" Zhuo Su 'er asked in a low voice.
Elder Zhuo thought for a moment. "He should be a high official. As for his identity, we'll have to investigate."
"Oh." Zhuo Su 'er fell silent thoughtfully.
"After you find him, don't say anything, and don't go looking for him," Elder Zhuo said coldly.
Zhuo Su 'er froze. "Why?"
"No reason!" Elder Zhuo snorted. "If he knows we're here, we won't have to do anything."
