Zhong Yu turned around to comfort Fang Jinxiu.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Fang Jinshu was full of worry. She couldn't explain what made her intuition so accurate, but it always seemed to be right.
The imperial edict must be obeyed. In the end, the honor of the clan still rests with an eunuch following the decree into the palace.
Fang Jinshu stood silently in place, Zhao's servants and carriage still waiting nearby.
"Madam, why don't you get in the car first The auspicious time is almost here."
My husband and wife are all waiting at home.
Fang Jinshi frowned, now in this situation, the Zhao family definitely couldn't go.
But if they don't go, will the Zhao family think they don't care about Jin Yu at all She's afraid that as soon as Jin Yu's marriage is complete, she'll be made difficult.
It was at that moment that Mu Shi stepped forward.
"I'll go."
Mu looked at the Zhao family and asked, "I wonder if my old self replacing my son and daughter-in-law to attend the wedding would be unwelcome to your Zhao family"
The old lady of the Hou's household was coming to the Zhao family, so who dared to say no
"The old lady is joking, the Zhao family would be overjoyed to welcome him."
The steward of the Zhao family did not dare to say another word. He didn't expect that the old mistress of the Marquis's mansion was so powerful, she scared him so much that he couldn't even breathe properly.
Mu turned to face Fang Jinshu with a smile.
"Go do whatever you need to, I'll go to the Zhao family banquet in your place. Jin Yu knows you have things to attend to, she definitely won't blame you."
After all, you've already given her face.
When Fang Jinshu married into the Zhao family, she brought a dowry of thousands upon thousands of pieces of silk and jewelry. It was enough to give the Zhao family face.
Fang Jinshu nodded. "Thank you, Mother. Then today I'll trouble you to make a trip."
Mu shi followed Zhao Jia's carriage to the wedding banquet. Fang Jinxiu turned around, her face changing drastically, and hurried back towards the manor.
Zong Bai caught up quickly.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it inappropriate for Big Brother to enter the palace at this time"
"King Jing, no, Your Majesty, what on earth does he want to do Could it be that he wants to take back the military power from Eldest Brother"
Fang Jinshi's footsteps faltered, "If it were just about withdrawing military power..."
She hadn't forgotten Zong Yu's background, Fu Shangyuan was the only other person who knew about it besides her.
Zong Yu and he are biological brothers. If Zong Yu's true parentage were to be revealed, Fu Shang Yuan would certainly feel threatened by his existence.
Besides, Ah Yu still held military power in his hands.
Fu Shangyuan was so ruthless and calculating towards even his own nephew, it's certain that the second prince's death is related to him.
Then, before the throne, what do brothers amount to
Could it be that Fu Shangyuan brought Zong Yu into the palace to have him executed
As soon as she thought of this, Fang Jinshu felt a chill run down her spine.
She turned and grabbed Zong Bai's arms with an unprecedented loss of control.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you"
Zong Bai was taken aback by her expression.
"Don't worry about me for now, Zong Bo. Your elder brother is in danger going to the palace. If I'm not mistaken, the Emperor wants to kill him."
"Do you have any other way to enter the palace I must enter the palace now!"
Upon hearing this, Zong Bai also immediately became anxious.
"How to enter the palace Perhaps there were other ways before, but ever since Fu Shangyuan ascended the throne, he changed the palace rules. Now, besides his summons, no one dares to let people into the palace."
"Unless one is from within the palace and has a pass, entry should be prohibited!"
Palace token
Fang Jinshu quickly nodded. "Draw me a picture of the token, and I'll try to get it for you."
Zong Bai was just about to say that the token was difficult to obtain, when a familiar voice suddenly appeared at the door.
"Do you want palace passes I can get them for you, and even take you into the palace."
Shen Li Isn't this Fu Ming's guard
"Shen Shiwei, how did you get here"
Fang Jinxiu strode towards Shen Li, pulling Zong Bai along. She didn't care why Shen Li was here, she only cared about the words Shen Li had just said: that she could take her into the palace.
Shen Li was about to kneel and pay his respects to Fang Jinxiu when he was stopped.
"No need for formalities, Sir Shen. Just tell me, what can I do to enter the palace right now"
Shen Li knew that the couple from the Zong family were unrestrained and unconventional. He wouldn't be truly angry or care if he didn't follow proper etiquette like Fang Jinxiu, so he straightened his body.
"Madam, it is our young master who sent me."
"He is confined to the palace, but he has received news that the new emperor intends to strike at the Wu Dinghou mansion. Therefore, he specially prepared several palace entry waist tokens for me to bring out."
Having said that, Shen Li took out a waist token from her bosom and handed it over.
Fan Jinshu saw this and nodded, "Please thank your lord for me."
Shen Li shook his head and said, “Your Highness should be the one thanking you. If it weren’t for your repeated help without regard for past grievances, he would have been killed by Yuan Buyu and the new emperor's schemes long ago.”
Fang Jinshu now had only Zong Yu's safety on her mind, she simply said.
The new emperor never intended to kill the Seventh Prince. As long as your Highness remains obedient and lives a peaceful life as a simple prince, both he and his consort will be safe.
Shen Li was stunned, unable to understand why Madam Hou would be so certain about this statement.
Fang Jinshu only had to explain once more.
"Intuition."
"Time waits for no man, let's hurry into the palace."
Every second late entering the palace, Zongyu's reputation would be in greater danger.
Shen Li saw Fang Jinxiu was very anxious, nodded and took down the small bag on his back.
"Madam, if you want to enter the palace as quickly as possible, besides your waist token, I'm afraid you'll have to change into this court lady's attire."
What grievances there were, Fang Jinxiu simply didn't care. As a result, she went into the house to change her clothes. After a short while, she came out fully changed, even combing her hair into a palace maid's style.
She also had Mugwort quickly change her appearance so that at first glance, people wouldn't recognize it was her.
Seeing Fang Jinshu after her transformation, Shen Li was stunned for several seconds.
Madame Hou is truly amazing, she managed to disguise herself as this in such a short amount of time. If I hadn't personally seen Madam enter the room and change clothes beforehand, I wouldn't have dared believe that the palace maid before me was actually Madam Hou in disguise.
"This is good as it is. With one less person recognizing you, you have that much more safety."
"Let's go."
Fang Jinshi hurriedly followed Shen Li, Zhao Xingzhou worriedly wanted to follow, outside the palace wall temporarily knocking out a patrolling guard, taking the waist card given by Shen Li also mixed in.
Fang Jinshu's disguise was too successful, and with Shen Li accompanying her, the two easily blended into the palace.
Upon entering the palace, Shen Li wore a difficult expression and said.
"My lady, the new Emperor is extremely paranoid. Since his ascension, he has forbidden Your Highness and Your Highness's people from moving freely within the palace. It seems the title of Marquis will be up to you to secure yourself."
"That is all I can do to help you."
Fāng Jǐnxù nodded gratefully.
"Shen Li, thank you. When you return, please tell His Highness and the others my thanks as well. I'm already very grateful that you brought me in."
"I'll take care of the rest. Don't worry, even if I get caught, I won't give you guys up."
Shen Li smiled, he knew this.alk to.After five days of hard labor, let alone finding an opportunity to repair the relationship with Mu's family, Zong Yulian had been given a pile of dirty and tiring work by her.Won't let her leav...
