After leaving Kunning Palace, Yunying looked at Concubine De and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a hard time in the palace these years."

Concubine De smiled and said calmly, "It's all over."

But Yunying looked at her with a worried look on her face and said, "Although the queen is under house arrest now, she is deep-minded and has the queen mother's help. The emperor has no intention of deposing the queen, so it should only be a matter of time before she rises again. You must be extremely careful in the palace in the future."

"Well, I know, I will be careful next time. Don't worry, elder sister. I'm an adult now, how can I not take care of myself?" Defei's tone was relaxed, as if they had returned to the time when the two of them were still in the boudoir.

Yunying nodded helplessly, then looked at Chu Qianyu and asked, "Can your master cure your aunt's poison?"

"Yes, Master is very powerful. It just may take time. After all, the poisoning has lasted for a long time. I will go back later and go to Yuexintang to leave a letter for Master. If she comes back and sees it, she will definitely help my aunt detoxify." Chu Qianyu said.

Yunying heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was no longer as sad as before and a smile appeared on her face: "That's good, that's good. As long as it can be solved, mother will be relieved."

They returned to Huayang Palace where Concubine De was and chatted for a long time before Yunying and Chu Qianyu left the palace and returned home.

Inside Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother just heard what happened in the Queen's Palace. She was so angry that she slammed the table next to her and said angrily: "They are all useless. They can't even handle such a small matter. What else can I count on her for!"

"And why did the Regent suddenly come as well? He brought with him what is Miss Chu's senior brother? Doctor Yue's apprentice?"

Nanny Ning bowed and said respectfully, "I heard that the Regent was waiting outside the palace not long after Miss Chu entered the palace, and then sent someone to the Queen's palace to inform her that he was waiting outside for Miss Chu to come out. As a result, the servant happened to see Miss Chu faint, so he hurried to inform the Regent. As for Miss Chu's senior brother coming, it was indeed a coincidence. This servant did not find out."

"I heard that the Queen gave me a seven-day poison. Why did Miss Chu show symptoms of poisoning after using it for a short time?"

"Replying to the Queen Mother, I heard that it was because she was the disciple of Doctor Yue, so Doctor Yue would train their bodies, and after a long time they would be immune to all poisons. So after taking the poison for seven days, the toxin would take effect faster in her body."

The Queen Mother sneered and said, "She got an advantage. I don't know how she got in touch with Doctor Yue."

"This Miss Chu is indeed capable. Not only does she know Patriarch Situ, but she also has access to Doctor Yue. The reason why the Regent didn't die from the poison was because of Doctor Yue. If Miss Chu is really allowed to marry the Regent now, it will probably only be a matter of time before he is cured of the poison."

"What did the Fifth Elder say when you left earlier?"

"Replying to the Queen Mother, the Fifth Elder said that the gang of bandits is now being held by Elder Situ in the dungeon in the Situ Mansion. The place is full of her people, so it is not easy to take action. So they can't spare the time to help us deal with Miss Chu now."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes flashed with an overwhelming chill, and her face was gloomy and terrifying. After a while, she slowly uttered a few words, "Then go find a killer for me! I remember that a new sect has emerged in the martial arts world recently, the Xuanyue Sect, which has never failed. Find them to deal with it! No matter how much the bounty is, I will definitely get rid of her!"

Nanny Ning leaned forward to respond, and then asked, "What about the Queen?"

"Don't worry about her for now! Let's wait until this matter has faded. If we get her out now, Mo Yinan will inevitably get into trouble."

"Yes, I understand. I will go find the people from Xuanyue Sect right now."

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, waved her hand wearily and said, "Go, as soon as possible. There is no time to delay."

"Yes. I'll take my leave." Nanny Ning responded and walked out quickly.

It was gradually getting dark. As soon as Chu Qianyu and her group arrived at the mansion, Chu Jun stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Is everything okay in the palace?"

Yunying didn't want him to worry too much, but since she couldn't hide what happened today, she told him what happened in general.

But the emperor did what he said. Even though it was night, he still sent someone to announce his decree. Before Chu Jun could say anything, he heard the servants outside saying that someone had come to the palace.

Several people walked out together. The one who came forward was Eunuch Zhang who was beside the emperor, holding the imperial edict and some rewards in his hand.

"General Chu, Madam Chu and Miss Chu, the Emperor asked us to come here to announce the decree conferring Madam Chu the title of Second Rank Imperial Lord, and to send some makeup to Miss Chu."

The three knelt down and said, "Your humble servants/your servants/your servants accept your orders."

Eunuch Zhang opened the imperial edict and read it slowly.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

General Chu is now a mighty general of our country. He has made great achievements in battle and recently he made great contributions in suppressing mountain bandits. Moreover, General Chu's wife is virtuous, gentle and virtuous, diligent and frugal. She is a good wife and a good mother. She is also a good mother and a good mother. She is a role model for women. I have heard of her virtue and I have issued this decree to commend her.

Madam Chu was given the title of "Second Rank Imperial Lady," and was granted a golden book and a golden seal. She has been declared faithful and faithful. From now on, she should be a role model for women all over the world, assist her husband in educating his descendants, and live up to my expectations.

Admire this! "

After Zhang Fu finished reading the imperial edict, he put it away and handed it to Yunying, saying, "Congratulations to Madam Chu for receiving the second-rank imperial edict."

"I thank you for your great grace." Yunying thanked him and took the imperial edict carefully.

"As for your imperial robes, they will take some time to be delivered. I have brought a nanny with me today. She will measure Madam Chu's size and then we can go back and have them made." Zhang Fu said.

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhang." Yunying said, then took out an ingot of silver and handed it over.

Zhang Fu refused it at first, but then accepted it, smiling like a flower, and said, "We are also working for the emperor, and this is what we should do. Now that the job has been done, I will go back and report." After Zhang Fu finished speaking, he turned around and left with a group of palace servants.

After everyone left, Chu Jun looked at Chu Qianyu with a worried look on his face and said, "Qianqian, are you feeling better now? You've been suffering these past two days. You were scared yesterday, and you were poisoned today. If I had known that marrying the Regent would be so difficult, I shouldn't have agreed to it."

The more he spoke, the more self-blame Chu Jun looked on his face.

"Father, my daughter is fine. My senior brother came here today and cured her of the poison. And today we are all thanks to the regent. If it weren't for his daughter, mother, and aunt, I'm afraid no one in the palace would seek justice for us today."

Chu Jun snorted coldly: "Humph! If it weren't for him, the queen wouldn't have hurt you."

Chu Qianyu shook her head and said, "Father, you are wrong. Even if he wasn't there, the Queen would still harm my aunt. My aunt has had a very difficult time in the palace these years. She is jealous of my mother and will definitely look for every opportunity to trip her up. Wang Man and the last time you went out to suppress the bandits are one of them."

Chu Jun suddenly didn't know what to say, pointing at her helplessly, "Look at you, you haven't even gotten married yet, but now you already know how to protect him."

"Actually, Qianqian is right. We really have to thank the Regent today. And I am quite satisfied with what he did today. I think he will treat Qianqian well in the future. We can rest assured." Yunying said.
