This time there is no danger, some people are happy and some are worried.

The one who was worried was a nobleman in the capital. He was so angry that he almost left his body when he learned that he had failed, so he will not mention it for now. The happy family was undoubtedly the Hou Mansion, but at this time, the Jiang family had already learned that something happened to Mr. Hou, and saw Yuan

Zhao, mixed joy and sorrow.

Someone revealed the news to Mrs. Feng, the second mother. When Yuan Zhao returned to the palace, she was accompanying her mother Jiang in the east courtyard. Seeing that she had returned safe and sound, Mrs. Feng burst into tears and said that she would take her into the palace to kowtow to the Queen Mother the next day.

"Thank you?" Yuan Zhao was slightly startled, "Has Er Niang gone to beg the Queen Mother?"

"Yes, otherwise how could you escape?" Feng said with infinite sorrow, "Zhao'er, you should stay in the house peacefully from now on. When the situation is better, Erniang will ask the Queen Mother to find a marriage for you.

Live your life.”

She didn't believe that her legitimate daughter could kill someone, so she had no choice but to find that the fifth prince was gone, and the other princes and princesses firmly believed that the assassination was caused by Beiyue clan. They couldn't find the murderer, so for the sake of the eldest princess and her aunt, she didn't dare to vent her anger on Prince Hou, so she could only vent her anger on Yuan Yuan.

Zhao.

Feng felt deeply guilty about this.

Yuan Zhao: "..."

Only then did I understand why Sun Decheng said those words before leaving. It turned out that a big trap was waiting here. If she exposed the Queen Mother's true intentions directly in front of Er Niang, how could she say she had no resentment?

If you have no resentment in your heart, let this matter go and never mention it to anyone.

Especially the second mother, if she knew that the Queen Mother had given poisoned wine, she would immediately go to the palace to confront the Queen Mother. The mother and daughter had a rift in the past because of the affairs in the Marquis Mansion, and this time they started to argue again, angering the Emperor, and they might not even have the last trace of love.

All gone.

It is true that eating Coptis chinensis for a mute is a disaster.

Yuan Zhao couldn't help but closed his eyes in frustration. His great-grandfather had a good eye back then! There were so many treacherous and cunning people in the Feng family, but he chose Erniang, a silly sweetheart, at a glance. He chose a scheming woman for himself.

A tyrant was born.

Not only did he lose his country, but he also harmed the entire ethnic group.

"Zhao'er?" Er Niang called out nervously when she saw that she didn't respond.

"Ah," Yuan Zhao came back to his senses, smiled and said, "What Er Niang said is absolutely true. By the way, Er Niang, it's rare for you to come back home. It just so happens that Zhao'er wants to talk to you about the eighth sister.

"

Madam Feng was about to say yes, but she was interrupted by the maid next to her with a smile:

"Your Highness, since the princess has returned safely, should you go to the palace immediately to express gratitude? So as not to worry the Queen Mother. Besides, the princess has just come out of the Tingwei prison, so she must be frightened. She can accompany her to the palace to express gratitude some other time."

Well, it seems reasonable, Feng looked hesitant.

"Huh?" The maid's words caught Yuan Zhao's attention. He glanced at her and said in surprise, "Why aren't you with Jin Mei or Hua Ju with you today?"

"Oh, your fourth sister is sick. I asked your eighth sister to take Jinmei and Huaju to the Wu Mansion to visit her." The legitimate daughter is still underage, and Mrs. Feng doesn't want her ears to be dirty by those dirty things in the back house.

, said perfunctorily, "Yinlan and Suzhu, who are beside Er Niang, will follow your fourth sister from now on.

Alas, in such a huge back house, it’s hard to get everything right without one or two caring people to help you. You will naturally understand this when you get married in the future."

Jinmei, Huaju, Yinlan, and Suzhu are her four maids. If two are missing, two maids from the next level will have to be replaced.

"Her name is Fang Ling, and she is also a person who was rewarded by my mother. She may have contacts with the house in the future, so I just brought her here today for everyone to recognize." Feng sighed.

"Then she was the one who told Erniang about my imprisonment?" Yuan Zhao looked at the other party with gratitude in his eyes.

It turns out that there is someone behind this matter? Taking advantage of the rift between the eldest princess and the queen mother, and the emperor's painstaking efforts not to see the two of them arguing again, so that she would not dare to investigate further?

Fang Ling couldn't help but flinch slightly when she heard her words, but she quickly regained her composure and stood firmly aside.

She belongs to the Queen Mother, and no one dares to do anything to her if there is no clue.

"Yes," Mrs. Feng was not aware of the subtle atmosphere in front of her, and she praised the maid, "She is smart in doing things and often runs out, so she is inevitably well-informed. In the past, it was trivial matters, but now thanks to her timely reporting...

…

By the way, Zhao'er, you didn't suffer much in prison, did you?"

"No, I am the princess, how dare they use violence against me? It's just a few interrogations." Yuan Zhao turned around with a smile and looked at A Niang and Er Niang carefully.

"That's good," Ms. Feng reassured, "In that case, I..."

"Er Niang," Yuan Zhao hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "Although I survived the disaster, I still have lingering fears. With you here, I am like an extra talisman. Why don't we go to the side yard to talk and wait for me to calm down?

Please leave again. Then..."

After finishing the conversation, he hesitated and glanced at his mother, Mrs. Jiang, who was looking at her with an indifferent face that said, "Please give me some trouble for my mother-in-law."

Yuan Zhao couldn't help grinning, curtsying to his mother and saying:

"My mother is not in good health, so I won't disturb my son. Second mother, let's go to the side yard and you can tell me about the fourth sister..."

Feng couldn't resist her, so she had no choice but to comply with her wishes.

"But Your Highness, where is the Queen Mother..." Fang Ling hurriedly caught up.

"I have informed the Empress Dowager and explained to the chamberlain that I will enter the palace early in the morning to thank you." Yuan Zhao interrupted her again and looked back at her unhappily, "If you are anxious to enter the palace by yourself, don't Ji.

Ji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai."

"Silly words," Mrs. Feng patted Yuan Zhao and scolded, "How can she go if my second mother doesn't go? Okay, Fang Ling, I have my own sense of proportion. If you feel bored, just walk around, otherwise

Stay quiet."

The master had spoken, but Fang Ling didn't dare to say anything more. She had no choice but to follow him into the side courtyard.

"Didn't Er Niang ask you to go out to play? Why are you following me?" Yuan Zhao saw this and felt quite dissatisfied. "The Hou Mansion is also Er Niang's home. Are you afraid that someone will neglect Er Niang?"

Fang Ling had some scruples at first, but when she heard this, she calmed down and knelt down and said:

"I don't dare. I am a personal maid given to Your Highness by the Queen Mother. I am supposed to serve you at every turn. I dare not make any mistakes. I hope the Princess will not be surprised."

"Just let her follow." Madam Feng said unconcernedly, "The maids around your fourth sister and Er Niang know about it, so it doesn't matter."

If it doesn't matter, just follow it.

Yuan Zhao no longer objected and said to Luo Yan:

"I have something important to discuss with my second mother. You can find someone to clean the side yard and let your own people guard it. You can stay and take care of me."

"No." Luo Yan responded and left.

"Zhao'er, Er Niang can't stay for a long time." Mrs. Feng was a little embarrassed.

"Er Niang, it's about dad." Yuan Zhao tried his best to persuade him to stay, and said worriedly, "I heard in prison that it's not good for dad on the front line..."

Just these words made Feng's eyes well up with tears, and she lowered her head to wipe her tears. The maid beside her followed silently, like a deaf-mute.

Because Mrs. Feng was sad and crying, she was silent all the way, and her footsteps slowed down. When we arrived at the east courtyard, the servants inside and outside were no longer around, and the courtyard seemed very quiet.

When the two of them were seated indoors, the maid quietly knelt beside Luo Yan and stood opposite her.

"Er Niang," when Yuan Zhao spoke, he was not talking about the war in western Shanxi. "Do you know that my mother-in-law once thought about letting me leave..."

Hearing this, the maid who was pretending to be deaf and mute was slightly startled, and then a chill came out of her heart.
