The palace maid didn't dare to hide anything from Great Empress Dowager, so she told her as much as possible.
"In reply to Great Empress Dowager, the attendant seems to have shown it to all the ministers. The notes should be Lord Yu's. Now that Lord Yu has been punished in his own residence, he can't get close to anyone. "
"Alright, I understand. Let's go." Great Empress Dowager frowned as she spoke in a low and deep voice. However, she understood the implications of his words.
The big palace maid, Spring Orchid, who was slightly older than her, had always served beside Great Empress Dowager's side as her most trusted confidant. She had great prestige amongst the group of palace maids, and even the powerful officials of the palace had to give her some face.
"Great Empress Dowager, don't worry about the younger generation anymore. Do you still remember why you have persisted till now? It's all because of County Princess Shayuan, so don't trouble you with the rest. " Spring Orchid tried to persuade him.
"Sigh, I also know that this is the case, but Empress Dowager Yu has indeed gone a little too far, I will stop here. I also know that the late emperor doted on her in the past, but even so, didn't she also give birth to the Emperor? So many concubines' children have fallen to this fate, and if they didn't die, they would become crippled."
Great Empress Dowager sighed. She couldn't understand why Empress Dowager Yu did that. She could only turn a blind eye to it. As long as Wen Shuyu was fine, she would take a step back.
"Great Empress Dowager, your favorite drink, Snow Mountain Hair, is going to get cold." Spring Orchid didn't want Great Empress Dowager to continue this topic to add to her sorrows.
"Hmm, it's only a little tribute every year, I've saved it again and again, aiya!"
As he spoke, he pecked at the wine, and a fragrant aroma wafted into the air!
"County Lord, something bad has happened!"
A palace maid ran into the side hall where Tian Lan was and reported the matter directly.
"What is it that makes you so flustered? Did Linglong get into trouble again? I'll go right now. "
When Tian Lan was about to get up, the palace maid hurriedly continued, "To reply County Lord, it's not County Princess Shayuan's fault, it's Lord Yu's fault. Tian Lan prepared to stand, the palace maid quickly continued," To reply County Lord, it's not County Princess Shayuan's fault, it's Lord Yu's fault.
"Lord Yu? "What happened to Lord Yu?" Tian Lan's heart burned with anxiety, but she never would have thought that it was a matter of having an affair with someone from the Balie Kingdom.
"Rumor has it that Lord Yu secretly used his Balie Kingdom! And there's even a close competition as proof of that! "
"What, how is that possible? Lady Yu's clan was loyal and devoted. Furthermore, Empress Yu was a country's descendant, so how could she allow Lord Yu to have an affair with his enemy? When did this happen? "Then what about Lord Yu and the others?"
"Reporting to County Lord, this servant only knows that Empress Dowager Yu seems to be recommending that the Emperor return to the Residence to look after the family. Lord Yu should be fine now, and the Emperor agreed to that as well."
This was also Empress Dowager Yu's suggestion, for the emperor to show mercy outside the law. However, since there was such a firm connection between the Emperor and the Emperor, then if the crime was true, Yu Dingwen definitely wouldn't be able to protect her and even implicate her family. Even if Empress Dowager Yu Gui was the empress dowager, she couldn't refute the solid proof that Lady Yu's family was safe. As for Yu Dingwen, don't even think about it!
What can we do, what can we do?
Right! Maybe, maybe, maybe they could find a way to save Yu Dingwen's life?
Tian Lan's father was Marquis Dingzhong, and her mother was also a second rank first-class lady. She was well aware that Yu Dingwen's business could not be taken lightly. If she could persuade them to step forward, things might turn out differently.
However, Tian Lan thought of this matter too simply. She didn't have a calm mind like Wen Shuyu, nor did she have a clear mind. Furthermore, she met with Yu Dingwen's matter, so she was worried to the point that she had no other choice.
"Prepare the palanquin, I will leave the palace and return to Marquis Dingzhong's residence!"
"It's County Lord."
In her haste, she did not have time to inform Wen Shuyu, nor did she think that Wen Shuyu could do anything about this matter. Although her status was very high, County Princess Shayuan did not have any real power.
"Hurry, hurry."
Tian Lan urged the coachman, unable to wait any longer.
Finally, she felt like a long time had passed before she arrived at Marquis Dingzhong Manor.
"Mother. Mother."
"Jing Shu? Why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen? How was it? Did you have a good time in the palace? I've missed my mother. " When Mrs. Marquis Dingzhong saw that it was the eldest daughter, Tian Lan, returning home, why was she in such a hurry? Could something have happened? He walked straight in without even reporting.
Mother, your daughter also misses you every day, but today she knows about the matter of the morning assembly so she hurried back. Mother, do you know that Lord Yu was secretly connected with her in the morning assembly? "" Mother, your daughter misses you every day, so today she knows about the matters of the morning court, and so she came back quickly.
Tian Lan was anxious as she told Marquis Dingzhong everything that had happened.
"Jing Shu, I'm afraid we can't do this. Not just me, even your father wouldn't do it. We, Marquis Dingzhong Manor, have always been neutral and don't participate in the fight between the Royal Sect and Empress Dowager Yu. Moreover, it won't be as simple as you think."
Mrs. Marquis Dingzhong frowned. It wasn't that she didn't want to help her daughter, but that she couldn't affect the lives of more than a hundred people in Marquis Dingzhong's mansion because of an outsider. It was just that Tian Lan didn't know that even Empress Dowager Yu wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
"But mother …"
Without waiting for Tian Lan to finish, Marquis Dingzhong walked in.
"I heard Jing Shu went home today. Why didn't she come to pay her respects to her father?"
Marquis Dingzhong looked dotingly at Tian Lan. Although Marquis Dingzhong had several sons, he still liked his first daughter, Tian Lan. She was gentle and courteous, but she was also liked by Great Empress Dowager.
"Father, Jing Shu pays her respects to you."
Tian Lan bowed and looked at her mother.
Madam Marquis Dingzhong explained the purpose of Tian Lan's hasty arrival.
"Jing Shu, my father has always been a neutral person, which was why he protected this Marquis Dingzhong manor. We don't hold any real power, and no one criticizes us, but as for Lord Yu's matter, my father really can't be busy, even Empress Dowager Yu can't do anything about it. This isn't whether or not he has a secret relationship with Balie Kingdom, it's what the people up there are thinking!" Marquis Dingzhong pointed to the sky, looking very cautious.
