Shunzi was the first to wake up. He was suddenly knocked unconscious. There were several more people in the room at this moment, and he was a little confused as a monk.
But seeing that his master was there, he felt relieved.
Shunzi stood up, rubbed the sore back of her neck, gestured to go outside and take a look, and left.
Both Mo Xiuyan and Mo Yuance need to take care of themselves, and the courtyard they rent now only has two rooms. Fortunately, the bed is big enough, so it doesn't look crowded when the two of them lie on it.
As for Lan'er and Yu'er, ask them after they wake up. If they really have nowhere to go, take them back to the northwest with them.
So many living boys have been found in the family, so there is no way to hide this news even if you want. Apart from that, there is nothing to worry about being revealed. There is no need to worry about these two people leaking the secret.
Lan'er and Yu'er were both in good health and recovered faster than the Mo brothers.
Seeing the two of them waking up one after another, He Zhiran took the initiative to walk in front of them.
Lan'er reacted the fastest. When she realized that the environment was not right, she immediately stood up, ignored He Zhiran in front of her, and began to scan the entire room.
"Princess, where is the princess?"
Yu'er also stood up and asked suspiciously: "Where is this?"
He Zhiran knew that the two of them felt uncomfortable at the moment, and his tone of voice became much softer.
"You have already left the Prince's Mansion."
When Lan'er heard this, she turned around and ran out.
"I want to go back. The princess is still lying there all alone."
He Zhiran stepped forward and blocked the door: "The fourth princess has gone. Do you think the prince will let you go when you go back?"
Lan'er said stubbornly: "We don't need anyone to let go, we just want to stay with the princess."
He Zhiran could no longer describe whether these two people were loyal or ignorant at this moment.
She reluctantly persuaded: "The fourth princess was obviously killed by the prince of Southern Xinjiang. Don't you want to avenge her?"
"Revenge?" Lan'er gave a self-deprecating smile: "How can we two weak women avenge the princess?"
"You can send a message to Emperor Shunwu. Her daughter is dead. He won't be indifferent, right?" He Zhiran planned to try his best to persuade these two people to give up the idea of committing suicide.
If she really can't do it, she won't force it. After all, she has done everything she needs to do.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her words came out, instead of making Lan'er change her mind, they actually made the disappointed expression on her face aggravate.
"After the princess was imprisoned in that place by the prince of southern Xinjiang, we tried many times to send letters to the capital, but nothing happened."
He Zhiran raised his eyebrows: "Did your letter not be sent successfully?"
Lan'er shook her head: "More than a dozen letters, I don't believe that not one of them has been sent to the emperor."
He Zhiran was even more puzzled: "Does Emperor Shunwu not even care about the life and death of his own daughter?"
At this time, Lan'er had no need to hide anything.
"We have grown up with the princess in the palace since we were young, and we have seen through the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the royal people.
A daughter who was married off to consolidate the country, who would care about her life or death?"
"Then the queen doesn't care?" He Zhiran became more and more confused.
Lan'er sneered: "The queen's thoughts are all on King Heng. Not long ago, she heard the news that King Heng was missing. How can she care about whether the princess suffers or not."
He Zhiran...
All right!
It was because she had lived in the harmonious circle of the Mo family for so long that she had forgotten the principle that the royal family had no family ties.
"Even if Emperor Shunwu is unwilling to seek justice for the four princesses, will the next emperor sit idly by and ignore it?"
The next emperor?
Lan'er really didn't think that much.
Now that He Zhiran said it, she had to think deeply.
There are only two princes in Dashun who are most likely to inherit the throne, namely King Heng and King Qi.
Now King Heng's whereabouts are unknown, and King Qi is the only one left.
King Heng has been indoctrinated by the Queen since he was a child that he only has eyes for the throne and has no affection for his sister who is from the same mother. He even always disliked the fourth princess because she was a girl and could not play a role in his fight for the throne.
King Qi is different. He has been gentle and gentle since he was a child, and he treats his elder sister, the fourth princess, with great respect.
He would even help the fourth princess when she was wronged.
If King Qi takes that position, will he help the princess seek justice?
Thinking of this, Lan'er seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
"But, I don't know when King Qi will ascend the throne."
Hearing her say such words, He Zhiran knew that his persuasion had worked.
"As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. What's more, Dashun and Southern Xinjiang often go to war. Maybe at some point, Southern Xinjiang will be completely flattened by Dashun. At that time, you will tell this news when you worship the princess.
Tell her, is it to comfort her spirit in heaven?"
The more Lan'er listened, the more it made sense. If she died, what happened to the princess in the Prince's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang would never come to light. She should live well and find an opportunity to tell her the news of the princess' revenge.
"Mrs. Ninth, thank you for your reminder. Lan'er is willing to serve by your side. In this life, I just want to wait for the day when the crown prince of Southern Xinjiang falls, and then tell the princess the news. Lan'er will have no regrets in this life."
While Lan'er was speaking, she was already kneeling in front of He Zhiran.
At first glance, Yu'er seems to have no independent opinions. Basically, whatever Lan'er says makes sense to her.
Therefore, after Lan'er knelt down, she also knelt down together.
He Zhiran was not in a hurry to help them up. To take them to the northwest, ugly things must be said first.
"You must have heard that the Mo family was ransacked and exiled. At that time, there was only one son alive in the Mo family, and that was my husband, Mo Jiuye."
As she spoke, she looked at the two people who were still unconscious on the bed.
"Today we sneaked into the Prince's Mansion and successfully rescued Brother Seventh. This matter must not be hidden for long, but I hope that this news will not be revealed from your mouth."
Lan'er was the first to promise: "Madam Ninth, don't worry, Lan'er swears that she will never tell this matter."
In order to save this person, the princess even lost her life. Even if it was for the princess, she had to help the Mo family hide it.
Seeing her sincere attitude, He Zhiran continued: "We live in the countryside in the northwest now. If you can't live such a hard life, I won't force you to go there.
And we don’t have idle people in our family, let alone you, my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law are working hard every day.”
He Zhiran was worried that no matter how unfavored the fourth princess was, she was still a princess of a country, and the maidservant who could accompany her to southern Xinjiang must be the highest-class palace maid.
In her understanding, first-class maids in the palace basically do not need to work, they only need to help their master with some trivial matters in life.
She was kind enough to take the two of them back, but wouldn't it be a drag if she brought back two people who couldn't carry their shoulders or lift them?
