When Rouyao entered the palace, Sun Fang'er had already left. When she learned that it was the emperor who took her away, Rouyao smiled and looked up at Zi'an. There was some sadness in her eyes, "If she had stayed, maybe she would have turned into a good person again."
Zi'an didn't dare to make a judgment, and she always held a reserved attitude towards Sun Fang'er.
Sun Fang'er doesn't know whether she is good or bad. In order to survive and live well, she can fight, but she shouldn't hurt those who are good to her.
Zi'an always cares about the fact that she attacked Rouyao's mother.
Because, in this matter, she didn't see any gratitude in Sun Fang'er. If a person lacks a grateful heart, no one will believe her no matter how kind she is.
The more a person grows up in indifference, the more he desires warmth. It's rare to find someone who is good to you, so how can you bear to hurt him
No one knows what Sun Fang'er's final fate is. Perhaps, she is now helpless, but in many things, she made the choices first. She chose to hurt the people of the Sun family, chose to put a curse on Murong Jie, chose to kill her master, and chose to follow King Nan Huai and rebel with him.
Everyone should pay for their own choices.
Before leaving, Zi'an wrote down the prescription and handed it to Zhuangzhuang, "Go ask the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for the emperor later. This is a new prescription. The previous medicine will cause drug resistance after taking it for a long time, so I changed the prescription."
Zi'an also mentioned some things to pay attention to when taking the medicine and asked Zhuangzhuang to remember to tell the imperial physician.
On the way to Zhenguo Temple, Zi'an was still depressed in the carriage. Because she didn't want to be high-profile this time, she only brought Dao Lao Da with her, and Xiaosun didn't come. As for Concubine Mei, she only brought the palace maid Xiaoqing and two guards.
When they got out of the palace gate, they didn't see the Third Prince in the carriage, so Zi'an asked, "Where is the Third Prince?"
Mei Fei said he was not feeling well and decided not to go.
Zi'an thought it would be better if he didn't go to avoid danger.
Because she was dressed in a low-key manner, not many people looked at her along the way. They just thought she was an ordinary wealthy lady traveling.
We arrived at the foot of Zhenguo Temple and took a short rest. Since the carriage could not go up the mountain road, we had to walk up the mountain.
Zhenguo Temple is a famous temple with many pilgrims. There is an endless stream of people on the way up the mountain.
Zi'an and Mei Fei both brought some dry food with them and ate a little at the foot of the mountain.
The snow stopped early this morning, but the road up the mountain is still slippery and a little inconvenient.
Zi'an didn't care, but Concubine Mei was delicate and walked slowly.
Zi'an was secretly worried. If he followed Concubine Mei's schedule, he would probably have to stay at Zhenguo Temple tonight.
In the evening, the emperor sent someone to summon Zi'an.
Zhuangzhuang remembered the prescription Zi'an had given him, and said, "The princess has gone out with Mei Fei, and she left a new prescription. I will go to Xiwei Palace and tell the imperial physician about it."
When he arrived at Xiwei Palace, Zhuangzhuang had to calm down before walking in.
When the emperor saw her coming, he looked a little unnatural, but he still tried his best to force a smile, "My aunt is here?"
Zhuangzhuang said softly, "Yes, Zi'an left the prescription when he left the palace. I thought I could come and see the emperor, so I delivered it personally."
"The princess went out? Where did she go?" The emperor didn't really want to ask where Zi'an had gone, but he didn't know what to say.
"Accompany Concubine Mei to Zhenguo Temple."
The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, "Why go to Zhenguo Temple at this time?"
Zhuangzhuang was startled, "Doesn't the emperor know that Concubine Mei went to Zhenguo Temple?"
"How would I know?" The emperor looked at her and sat up straight. "Did Concubine Mei tell you that I asked her to go to Zhenguo Temple?"
Zhuangzhuang shook his head, "Not really, I just thought that she left the palace at this time because of the emperor's instruction."
Zhuangzhuang suddenly became suspicious. Concubine Mei said that the emperor also agreed with her leaving the palace to burn incense, but the emperor was obviously unaware of it. What was going on
"I didn't let her go," said the emperor.
"Well," Zhuangzhuang turned around, "I'll give the prescription to the imperial physician. This is a new prescription. Zi'an said he had something to tell the imperial physician."
"Well, go ahead." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhuangzhuang leave.
Because of what happened between her and Xiao Xiao, the emperor always felt guilty towards this aunt and had nothing to say when facing her.
Some things may sound justified on paper, but when the night is quiet, you will still feel uncomfortable.
After telling the imperial physician what Zi'an had instructed, Zhuangzhuang left in a hurry.
After returning to Huiqing Palace, she instructed Qinzhi, "Immediately call the Night King, the Liang King, or Lady Chen to the palace, whoever is calling. Also, immediately send the secret guards to Zhenguo Temple. If they see the princess, no matter what she is doing, bring her back first."
Qinzhi saw that the situation was urgent and went there immediately without asking why.
After Qin Zhi left, Zhuang Zhuang called Qiong Hua and said, "Go to Yue Qing Palace to ask about the situation and see if the Third Prince is there."
Qionghua went there immediately and came back not long after, saying, "The Third Prince is in Yueqing Palace and did not go to burn incense."
Zhuang Zhuang said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with Concubine Mei."
"What should we do? The princess only brought Boss Dao out today, and the secret guards didn't even follow them." Qionghua said anxiously.
"Don't panic yet. I have already sent the secret guards to go. I hope they can make it in time."
"But it's dark now."
Zhuangzhuang was also a little confused. What was wrong with Concubine Mei? She couldn't figure it out. She had suspected that there was a traitor around her before, but could this traitor be Concubine Mei
There was no need for her to do this. Now that the Seventh Prince was on the side of the Third Prince, she had no reason to do anything to hurt Zi'an.
Zi'an is her backer now.
Could it be that the Emperor ordered this? Did the Emperor want to take action against Zi'an
But that won't happen. The Seventh Brother is on the battlefield now. If something happens to Zi'an, it will definitely not be concealed. The emperor will not let the Seventh Brother be distracted at this time.
Noble Concubine? Mei Fei couldn't possibly be Noble Concubine's person. Noble Concubine also sent assassins to the Yueqing Palace. They were real assassins, not Lao Jiu's knockoffs.
Master Liang? It was even more impossible. Even if Concubine Mei had really thought about seeking refuge with the Crown Prince and Master Liang to seek protection, Master Liang was already a castrated man, with all kinds of castration. How could Concubine Mei still be used by Master Liang
Could it be Concubine Yi
Concubine Yi must be so anxious right now, how could she have the time to deal with Zi'an
Zhuangzhuang thought about it but to no avail, and he didn't know Zi'an's current situation, so he was really anxious.
The first to enter the palace were Chen Taijun and Liu Liu. King Ye and King Liang were not in their palaces. The two masters took their men to search for the noble concubine.
"Princess, what happened? I heard Qinzhi say that something happened to the princess. What happened?" The old lady asked as she entered the room.
Liu Liu also asked nervously: "Yeah, what else could happen now?"
Zhuangzhuang said in a deep voice: "Old Madam, don't be nervous, everything is just my speculation. Today, Zi'an accompanied Mei Fei out of the palace to Zhenguo Temple. Mei Fei said that it was the emperor's instruction, but I went to see the emperor, and the emperor didn't know that Mei Fei went to Zhenguo Temple at all. Moreover, the reason why Zi'an accompanied Mei Fei to Zhenguo Temple was because Mei Fei said that she would take the third prince with her, but the third prince did not go and is still in Yueqing Palace now."
