When she came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, she met Concubine De.
She had been standing outside the palace gate for an unknown amount of time, her expression looking very calm, but her eyes looking at Yun Zishu were cold: "I want to talk to you."
Her attitude can't really be said to be nice, it's even quite disrespectful.
But Yun Zishu didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "Let's go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll."
Concubine De's eyes fell on Sicang who was following Yun Zishu. Just as she was about to speak, Yun Zishu said, "You don't have to care about him."
Don't care?
Concubine De's face showed sarcasm, but then she thought that she was the daughter of the Situ family, and her father and mother were still subjects of Dongyou. If she was disrespectful to Sicang at this time, the Situ family might not get good results.
So she bowed with lowered eyebrows and eyes, turned around and walked towards the Royal Garden.
After walking for a while, she asked: "How is the Situ family doing now?"
Yun Zishu said: "Situ Xuan is deceased, and Situ Wan is married to Marquis Zhongyi."
Concubine De stiffened: "My brother is dead?"
Yun Zishu nodded.
"Why?"
"Assassinating the Crown Princess is a capital crime." Yun Zishu looked coldly, "Do you think Emperor Wu is a merciful emperor, or do you think I am a Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings?"
Concubine De's face turned pale. Compared to two years ago when she declared in front of Yun Zishu, "My eldest sister is the default crown princess," she was so proud. At this time, Concubine De was like a peacock knocked into the dirt from a high cloud platform.
, there is no trace of pride in the past, only embarrassment and despair remain.
With her hands clenched at her sides, Concubine De's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Eldest sister has not entered the palace?"
"Why does she want to enter the palace?"
Concubine De looked at Yun Zishu coldly: "Even if she can't be a princess, she is still qualified to be a concubine. Why don't you let her enter the palace?"
"This is a very funny question." Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows high, as if she was looking at a stupid and unaware idiot, "I don't want to share my husband with others, let alone share that evil-minded person.
Women share, it’s that simple, do you need any other reasons?”
Concubine De has nothing to say.
She was not in Dongyou and had no idea what was going on at home. Yun Zishu's one-sided words were not trustworthy. She only knew that the winner was the king.
Yun Zishu is now the winner, so naturally everything she says is right, but from her sister's point of view, Yun Zishu is clearly a thief who stole her identity as the crown princess.
Concubine De was filled with dissatisfaction.
Didn't the Queen's Aunt vow that she would definitely make her elder sister the Crown Princess? Even if she fails to become the Crown Princess, she will definitely make her elder sister the Queen before the new emperor ascends the throne.
As for Yun Zishu, whom Dayong proposed to marry, in the original plan, she was supposed to be thrown into the cold palace or die in an accident, but now she came back to visit her relatives in glory...
Concubine De was filled with hatred, and she touched the dagger on her sleeve calmly, her eyes slightly lowered: "Did you just say that the eldest sister married Marquis Zhongyi?"
Who is Zhongyihou?
She searched for this person in her memory, but found no recollection.
Yun Zishu glanced at her: "That's right."
"How is she doing now?"
"It's not good." Yun Zishu spoke indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with her, "I heard that Marquis Zhongyi had a violent temper and his first wife died at his hands. Your sister angered her mother-in-law and her husband on the first day she came here.
Husband, your wedding night was miserable."
Concubine De's body stiffened, and the appearance of a lame middle-aged man appeared in front of her eyes. She remembered that the violent and capricious Marquis Zhongyi... was the commander of the imperial army, Yan Wei, who injured a leg while escorting a chariot when he was young.
The eldest sister actually married that cripple?
Concubine De's body is cold, her eldest brother is dead, and her eldest sister is married to Marquis Zhongyi. One can imagine how miserable the situation of the Situ family is now, and all of this...
Yun Zishu is the culprit!
Hatred suddenly arose, Concubine De took out the dagger from her sleeve and stabbed Yun Zishu: "Go to hell!"
A black shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and just as Yun Zishu was about to grab De Concubine's wrist, Si Cang was one step faster than her, and kicked De Concubine away at lightning speed, knocking the murder weapon out of her hand.
.
"Ah!" Concubine De screamed, her body hit a tree hard and then fell to the ground. Her body curled up in a painful and twisted posture, and she couldn't move for a long time.
The Royal Forest Army patrolling outside the park heard the movement and came in a hurry: "What happened?"
Yun Zishu took a step back, glanced at Concubine De coldly, and then said unhurriedly: "Concubine De wanted to assassinate me just now."
The imperial guards looked at each other, and several people walked up to Concubine De to check her injuries: "Concubine De."
One of the imperial guards stood up, clasped his fists and saluted Yun Zishu: "I have humbled myself to report to the emperor. Please wait a moment for the princess."
No matter what happened, Yun Zishu was an honored guest when she came back this time. Moreover, Emperor Dongyou was by her side, so the Imperial Guards were extremely cautious and did not want to offend the Emperor of Dongyou easily.
If a war breaks out between the two countries due to this incident, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous.
The incident quickly alarmed Emperor Zhaoming. After hearing the report from the Royal Forest Army, Emperor Zhaoming was furious: "How could Concubine De assassinate Zishu?"
"I don't know the details for those in humble positions."
Emperor Zhaoming stood up and walked out: "Where is he?"
"Still in the Imperial Garden."
Emperor Zhaoming hurriedly led people to the imperial garden and saw Concubine De standing up from the ground with a pale face, her body swaying, and there was a trace of bloodshot eyes at the corner of her mouth. She looked seriously injured.
Several imperial guardsmen gathered around her and did not dare to move without permission.
But Yun Zishu looked cold, and Sicang held the child without saying a word.
Emperor Zhaoming came quickly, his face as sinking as water: "Zishu,"
Sicang's voice was cold and hard: "Concubine De was originally a subject of Dongyou, but now she is the emperor's concubine. Please handle the matter of assassinating the legitimate princess fairly."
Emperor Zhaoming looked at Concubine De, with a frightening pressure in his eyes: "You assassinated Zishu?"
Under normal circumstances, De Fei would have denied it. Anyway, Yun Zishu was not injured at all. Instead, she was seriously injured by Sicang's kick and even broke her arm. As long as she insisted that she did not do anything, Emperor Zhaoming would be able to defend her.
absolve.
However, under the severe pain, Concubine De had obviously lost her mind: "She deserves to die! She killed my brother and caused misery to the Situ family, so she deserves to die!"
Emperor Zhaoming's face suddenly changed and he was extremely angry: "Come here! Put Concubine De into the cold palace, not allowed to hire an imperial doctor for her, and let her fend for herself!"
Concubine De was dragged down, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Yun Zishu, you must not die well! You must not—"
"If you curse one more word, I will have the nine members of the Situ family punished." Yun Zishu looked at her coldly, "Do you want to try?"
Concubine De was shocked, with a look of resentment, despair and fear on her face. She gritted her teeth and stared at Yun Zishu, clearly hating her in her heart, but she never dared to say another word.
