The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 288 Suddenly I Can't Take It Anymore

A Tao blinked her big curious eyes, "Jin Chan and Yin Chan also said that A Tao has an older sister, who is also A Tao's aunt, and she will be the emperor's concubine in the future!"

Zhao Shuang squeezed her sleeves tightly, trying to hold back her anger, and said calmly, "A Tao, you don't have an older sister. The father and queen only have two children, you and A Chen. Just pretend you didn't hear those gossips. Jin Chan If they dare to say it again, you can tell them to ask the queen mother if there is such a thing."

Princess Yi'an is her distant cousin, that's why Jin Chan and Yin Chan said that her sister is also A Tao's aunt. These gossips have now spread to the palace, and she can no longer just sit idly by.

A Tao nodded ignorantly. Although he was young, he could see that his mother had something on his mind, so he didn't dare to ask any more.

Zhao Shuang remembered what Cai Lianwu and Xiaofang Xiaoyuan said just now, and said to Hu Lan who was driving, "Don't go back to the palace yet, go to Prince Yu's Mansion."

"Yes!" Hu Lan agreed, turned her horse around hastily, and headed west of the city.

"The Empress, do you mind what they said just now?" Xiang Dong sat opposite, playing a rope game with A Tao.

"Xiangdong, have you heard those gossips?" Zhao Shuang took out a precious gourd from under the carriage seat, shaking it to listen to the sound of the pills in the gourd.

"I just heard about it. The owner of Yi'an County is called Zhao Sijun. She is just sixteen this year. She was famous for her flower art and tea art when she was in Xiyuan Road. The courtyard where we live in Xiyuan Road was originally made by her. Arrange for the gardener in the mansion to build it." Xiangdong, as Zhao Shuang's personal maid, has long since investigated the empress's potential opponents thoroughly, "I also heard that the king of Yu seems to have wanted to give her to the old lady for a long time. The Regent, therefore, I hired a famous teacher from the upper capital to educate her since she was a child."

"Zhao Sijun..." Zhao Shuang thought about the name, and remembered her cousin, and couldn't help frowning, "How is her injury?"

"It is said that the emperor invited the imperial doctor to see it. It is impossible for Princess Yi'an to walk on the ground in this life." Xiangdong flipped the rope in A Tao's hand and smiled, "There is still a long line on her back. The long scar is said to look like a tree root. Princess Yi'an was good at singing and dancing since she was a child, but after suffering this injury, she will never be able to dance for the rest of her life."

"If I heal her injury, can I let her go back to Xiyuan Road?" Zhao Shuang looked at A Tao who was opposite, and now she wanted to protect these two children more than before, and prevent those gossips from reaching their ears. inside.

"Empress, servant girl, I heard that Princess Yi'an is not very easy to get along with. She was the one who resolutely refused you to visit her when she was in Prince Yu's Mansion." Xiangdong touched A Tao's head, and turned the rope again.

"But because the injury hurt her so much, that's why she became reluctant to see people?" This was beyond Zhao Shuang's expectations. She thought that Princess Yi'an would sacrifice her life to save others, and she should be a gentle and kind girl. How can you hear Xiangdong's meaning, weird and difficult to get along with?
"She has a weird temper. It didn't become like this after being injured, but she has been like this since she was a child, but after being injured, her temper became even more lonely and weird." Xiangdong replied, "When we first arrived in Xiyuan Road, she I was supposed to come to greet you, but I didn't."

The carriage arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion in the west of Shangjing City. King Yu happened to be away from the mansion, and Princess Yu did not follow along on Xiyuan Road. Only a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came out to greet her.

"I don't know if the empress is coming, I'm not far away to welcome you." The housekeeper of Prince Yu's mansion led a group of servants and knelt down on the ground.

"Get up." Zhao Shuang led Xiangdong and A Tao to jump out of the carriage, looked around, "Where is Princess Yi'an? Take me to meet her."

"Empress!" The butler hurriedly stopped in front, bowed his head and clasped his hands, "The princess is weak and sees no outsiders."

"No outsider?" Zhao Shuang sneered displeasedly, "Now I'm summoning her, get out of the way!"

The servants of Prince Yu's Mansion did not dare to stop her, but no one showed her the way.

Zhao Shuang glanced at Hu Lan who was driving, and Hu Lan hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and brought a fairly honest servant girl from among the servants, "Tell me, where is your princess?"

The little maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, pointed to a courtyard with lush flowers and trees in the east, and said, "It's...in the Juefang courtyard."

"Lead the way!" Hu Lan put the scabbard around the girl's neck, and the girl had no choice but to stand up and lead the way for them.

"Xiangdong, take A Tao to rest in the carriage for a while." Zhao Shuang glanced at the direction of Juefangyuan, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

She didn't want Ah Tao to see the matter between her and Zhao Sijun.

"Empress!" Xiangdong held her hand anxiously and persuaded, "Then Zhao Sijun is just a girl, empress, don't be as knowledgeable as her!"

With Zhao Shuang's strength, Princess Yi'an's life would be killed if he made a move, but doing so would cause more gossip, and it would be even more troublesome.Xiangdong was afraid that Zhao Shuang would do something stupid impulsively, so he sweated profusely.

"Don't worry, I have my sense of proportion." Zhao Shuang smiled and spread her hands, "You think I'm going to kill someone? I just went to see her and treat her wounds along the way."

"Empress, you just have to pretend to be deaf and dumb like the emperor, and just pretend that she doesn't exist." Xiangdong was still worried, and stopped in front again, "It's just some rumors, bear with it and pass. Why bother to surrender The identity to find her? Later, King Yu will find out when he comes back, and I am afraid that he will go to the emperor again to make a fuss..."

"Today, I suddenly couldn't take it any longer." Zhao Shuang pushed her away, followed Hu Lan and the maid, and headed towards Juefang Courtyard.

Xiangdong puts her arms around A Tao, looking worriedly at the direction of her departure.

In Shangjing, every inch of land is precious. Compared with the one on Xiyuan Road, this Yuwang Mansion occupies a much smaller area. The Juefang Courtyard only has a few rooms, and the small garden is even more crowded, with all the flowers and trees crowded together.

The little servant girl led them into the yard, pointed to a bedroom with window grilles and said, "Go back to the empress, the princess lives in it."

"Miss, please tell me about it." Zhao Shuang took out an ingot of broken silver from his sleeve.

"Your servant obeys!" The little servant girl didn't dare to take the money, so she hurried into the room and said a few words to the two servant girls in the room.

There was another sound of hurriedly packing things in the room.

"I don't know that the empress is here..." A big servant girl in red came out to greet her, and said, "My princess just fell asleep, please come back another day."

"Go and wake her up." After Zhao Shuang said, she stepped into the threshold of the bedroom without any explanation.

The maid in red was taken aback for a moment, then hurried into the room to serve.
