After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

"Yes, yes, let's go into the palace first." The old princess nodded hurriedly.

My granddaughter is still sick, so there is no way she would stand outside the door and talk.

The group returned to Qingyi Courtyard.

Someone came to clean Qingyi Courtyard every once in a while, and all the utensils and furnishings were arranged just as they were when Fu Yunyao got married.

When Qianyue and Qingtang heard that Fu Yunyao had returned, they wanted to get out of bed, but Doctor Liu held them back, saying with a fierce face, "Who allowed you to move? Don't you know how much you are hurt? Even if you care about the princess's own health, you don't care? Not to mention that you can't get out of bed now, even if you can walk, I will never allow you. You are not convinced... Then go and complain to the old princess."

"..."

The two of them swallowed silently and shook their heads like rattles.

Don't dare, don't dare!

Seeing that the two of them were really lying on the bed obediently and not moving, Doctor Liu nodded with satisfaction and went out.

The doctor who treated the princess was an imperial physician from the palace. He couldn't miss such a rare opportunity to learn.

In Fu Yunyao's room, a green-and-white glazed plum vase was placed on a golden nanmu high table, with a few crabapple flowers inserted diagonally. A white jade, emerald, and sandalwood screen with a pattern of birds separated the inner and outer rooms. The blazing sunlight poured into the room through the window, dancing on the woman's cloud-like temples behind the heavy smoke curtains.

The old princess sat by the bed, listening carefully to Doctor Qi's report and instructions.

Fu Zheng and the others stood aside.

"I checked the medicine residue I gave the princess to drink. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is not for the princess's illness. I dare not give the princess strong medicine all at once, for fear that she will not be able to take it. I will slowly adjust her condition first..."

Doctor Qi paused as he spoke, looked up at the old princess, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing him like this, the old princess' heart skipped a beat: "Doctor Qi, you have something to say."

"This... I'm not sure yet, but looking at the princess's pulse, there seems to be signs of poisoning, but the drug residue is fine. I'm afraid it's something to do with her diet."

Doctor Qi's words were conservative, but the old princess knew in her heart that since he said it, it was most likely true.

There's just no evidence.

Food poisoning is the most difficult to investigate, especially since it happened in the Xing'an Marquis Mansion. Not to mention that it is out of reach, if the Wei family really asked someone to tamper with Fu Yunyao's food, it must have been done very cleanly, and they would have no way to investigate even if they wanted to.

The old princess was silent for a moment, then nodded to Doctor Qi to indicate that she understood.

It’s one thing not to be able to find it, but I’ve kept a note of it in my mind.

The Ji family...are so brave.

Even though their Pingyang Palace is like a toothless tiger that has lost its dignity, it is not something that anyone can trample on at will.

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor Qi, for taking care of Yao'er's illness." said the old princess.

Doctor Qi bowed and said, "I will do my best."

Fu Yunyao woke up in the evening. The old princess had been sitting by her bed. When Fu Yunyao opened her eyes, she saw it. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she choked up and shouted, "Grandma!"

"Yes, grandma is here." The old princess held Fu Yunyao's hand, and said with joy and distress: "Now that you are back, just focus on recuperating and don't think about anything else."

Fu Yunyao closed her eyes, her eyes rolled down gently, and she nodded in response: "Yes."

"Qianyue and Qingtang were also brought back last night. When they heard that you returned home, they couldn't wait to see you. However, they were seriously injured and cannot move for the time being." The old princess continued.

A happy smile appeared on Fu Yunyao's pale face: "As long as they are okay."

"Don't worry, Doctor Liu has been staying there. I hope you get better soon."

Fu Yunyao held the old princess' hand tightly and nodded slightly.

No matter how much she valued rules and knew etiquette, she couldn't help but act coquettishly when she saw her relatives after suffering so much injustice in the Xing'an Marquis' Mansion.

The old princess only felt that her heart was being pulled by someone.

"You've been tired all day. Are you hungry?" Wen stood behind the old princess and asked Fu Yunyao softly.

Fu Yunyao looked sideways at Wen Shi, and a weak smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Mother, a little bit."

"There's porridge cooking in the small kitchen. Just wait, I'll bring it to you right away." Wen said with a smile.

Fu Yunyao: "Thank you, mother."

Wen's eyes turned slightly red, and she said angrily, "How can you be so polite to my mother?" After saying that, she turned and left.

Fu Yunyao looked around: "Grandma, where are Yunjing and Yinyin?"

"Yun Jing is discussing matters with your father in the study. I asked Yin Yin to go back and rest." The old princess said, "She has worked hard these past two days."

Fu Yunyao: "Today, I am grateful to her. I am not very familiar with Madam Cheng, but she should be the one who invited the wife of the Duke of Protectorate. With the two ladies here, my parents-in-law dare not go too far." Otherwise, I would not have been able to return to the palace so quickly and smoothly.

"Yes!" The old princess sighed: "This child is smart, careful and steady. The Fu family is lucky to marry her."

……

Gu Zhiyin was indeed a little sleepy. She had been extremely tense since last night. Now Fu Yunyao had returned to the palace and her condition was being treated by Imperial Doctor Qi. She felt tired as soon as she relaxed. She called Mother Hu and gave her a few instructions before going to sleep.

She fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

In the evening of midsummer, a gorgeous glow from the sky shines in from the window, casting a brilliant light.

Gu Zhiyin had a dream. The palace in the dream seemed both familiar and strange.

The strangeness is because it is filled with depression and gloom. Even though the sun is shining brightly, it makes people feel extremely sad.

In Chaohui Hall, the old princess was lying on the bed with a haggard face, looking as if she was barely breathing.

A maid was kneeling in front of the bed. Gu Zhiyin recognized her. She was a first-class maid who served the old princess.

At this moment, the maidservant was crying as she reported: "Old Princess, please accept my condolences. The princess is gone!"

Gu Zhiyin was shocked when he heard this.

Why do we say "grandmother, please mourn" and what does "the princess has passed away" mean?

She looked up at the old princess. She widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard the news. She was so heartbroken that she struggled to get up, tightly grasping the edge of the bed, staring at Sang Zhi without blinking: "What did you say? Say it again."

She doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe it!

"Old Princess..." Mother Qin called out in pain, supporting her trembling body: "Don't get excited, take care of yourself."

The old princess looked at Sang Zhi sharply, as if she wanted to see something strange on her face.

Sangzhi cried and drooped her head even more.

puff……

The old princess suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell like plum blossoms and dyed the quilt in front of her red.

"Old Princess!"

Mother Qin screamed, and the room instantly became a mess.

The old princess leaned in Mother Qin's arms, her eyes filled with hatred and resentment: "The Xing'an Marquis's Mansion is too much of a bully. They said that Yao'er was seriously ill and they wanted to hold a wedding to cheer her up. I just thought they were going to take a concubine for Ji Yuanwen, but I didn't expect that they wanted to marry a merchant girl as their equal wife, to be on an equal footing with my Yao'er. This is simply trampling on her. Yao'er was killed by them, they killed her. I hate them! I wish I could tear their bones and pull out their tendons."
