Li Zhiyin breathed a sigh of relief, but in fact she was more worried about this.

  She was worried that the prince would think about this later and become estranged from her.

  She knew that the prince didn't like women who thought they were smart.

  This time, she might be too clever for her own good.

  "It's just that His Highness had already guessed it, so he deliberately followed my instructions." Li Zhiyin smiled bitterly, "I thought I did it without leaving any trace."

  "Father... do you know about this?" Li Zhiyin asked.

  The prince was afraid that she would panic if she knew, and he had promised the saint not to tell Li Zhiyin.

  Therefore, the prince said: "Father doesn't know yet, don't worry. So if there is anything in the future, just tell me, and I will do whatever needs to be done. I won't let you and Madam Gu get involved."

  "Thank you, Your Highness." Li Zhiyin was truly grateful.

  With the prince leading her, she really felt safe.

  Imperial Physician Lu spent the entire night in the Imperial Hospital looking through medical books and selecting some sections in the books that were relevant to his condition.

  On the second day, the Queen's decree indeed arrived at the Gu family.

  Eunuch Xu, who was beside the Queen, came to the Gu family, and everyone in the Gu family was very surprised.

  I have received many imperial edicts, but this is the first time I have received an edict from the empress.

  "General Gu, Madam Gu, may I ask where Zhang Yingzi is?" Eunuch Xu asked politely.

  Everyone in the palace knew that Pan Lunchi was extremely polite to Madam Gu.

  Eunuch Xu was naturally extremely polite to Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu.

  "Eunuch, please come this way." Li Mumu led the way for Eunuch Xu. On the way, she asked Eunuch Xu, "Eunuch, you are here to see Zhang Yingzi, but what is the Queen's will?"

  "I did bring the queen's decree here." Eunuch Zhang said with a smile, "The queen heard that Miss Zhang had saved General Gu, and she thought that Miss Zhang was kind and righteous, and she had a pure heart, so she specially invited Miss Zhang to come to the palace to take a look."

  Li Mumu: "..."

  The royal family is really good at finding excuses.

  If Zhang Yingzi entered the palace, given the evil intentions of those royal family members, she would probably not end up well.

  As they were talking, they had already arrived at Zhang Yingzi's yard.

  The servant hurriedly called Zhang Yingzi out to receive the order.

  Zhang Yingzi was surprised. "Receive an imperial decree? What decree?"

  "Miss, please be careful with your words. This is the Queen's order." The servant whispered.

  Zhang Yingzi came to the courtyard, knelt down hurriedly, and listened to Eunuch Xu's decree in a daze.

  After hearing what Eunuch Xu said, the Queen Mother admired her very much for her heroic act of saving General Gu.

  Praise her for her gentleness and kindness, and praise her for her contribution to Daxi.

  Zhang Yingzi was so flattered by the praise that she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

  So what if the saint praised Li Mumu?   Now she was also praised by the queen.

  Now, the queen actually wants her to enter the palace!   "Young lady." Eunuch Xu said with a smile, "Pack up and follow me into the palace, will you?"

  "Yes, I...I'll go right away." Zhang Yingzi stood up, looked at her clothes again, and said, "Eunuch, should I change my clothes? This is my first time meeting the Queen, I can't be rude."

  Eunuch Xu smiled on the surface, but he felt very cold in his heart.

  The girl looked so happy that she seemed to have not thought about her seriously ill old father at all.

  My first reaction was to change my clothes, and I didn't even think about saying goodbye to Old Man Zhang first.

  Eunuch Xu smiled and said, "Miss, you can go change your clothes. I will wait here."  

  Li Mumu reminded, "Don't make your father-in-law wait anxiously."

  "Of course I know that." Zhang Yingzi said unhappily.

  Even at this time, Li Mumu did not forget to highlight herself and please Eunuch Xu.

  Eunuch Xu kept smiling and saw Zhang Yingzi running back to the room with brisk steps.

  When she opened the door again, Zhang Yingzi had changed into her best clothes.

  The bright pink color makes her look like a young girl, and the color is even more fresh.

  "Eunuch Xu, I'm ready." Zhang Yingzi said.

  Eunuch Xu did not remind her to tell Old Man Zhang.

  Yesterday, the Saint went to Ciyuan Hall to discuss this matter with the Empress, and Eunuch Xu was also present.

  I know a little bit about the saints' plans.

  It would be good to know that Miss Zhang is really innocent.

  Otherwise, the outcome will be dire.

  Eunuch Xu remained expressionless and left with Zhang Yingzi.

  When Eunuch Xu came, Yao Xingcai found out from him what he was here for and prepared the carriage early.

  After Zhang Yingzi left, Li Mumu sighed and went to Old Man Zhang's room.

  When Old Man Zhang heard the noise outside, he became anxious, but he couldn't even get out of bed.

  When he saw Li Mumu, he hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Gu, Yingzi..."

  The servant helped Old Man Zhang sit up, and Li Mumu said, "The Saint and the Queen know that you and Miss Zhang came to the capital."

  "I also learned that you were seriously ill. Doctor Lu returned to the Imperial Hospital last night and has been checking medical books." Li Mumu said, "The Queen Mother felt that Miss Zhang was kind and honest, so she invited her to the palace to talk. You don't have to worry."

  "Oh! How can I not be worried? Yingzi is so reckless. She didn't even..." She didn't come in to talk to him and just left. "I'm just afraid that she's so reckless and doesn't know the rules, and that she's offended someone in the palace."

  "If that's the case, Madam Gu, you must help her when the time comes!" Old Man Zhang said anxiously.

  "I will definitely help if I can." Li Mumu said, "Besides, Miss Zhang may not be as you say. After all, she is going to the palace to see the Empress, and maybe even the Saint. Miss Zhang should know about such an important matter and will not act recklessly."

  "Oh!" Old Man Zhang sighed heavily, "I hope so."

  "You are seriously ill now, don't worry too much." Li Mumu said, "The most important thing is to take care of yourself. Only when you are fully recovered can you personally look after Miss Zhang."

  "Now the Saint has personally ordered Doctor Lu to do his best to treat the disease. You just need to focus on recuperating." Li Mumu said.

  "I never thought that I... I am just a commoner, but my illness could alarm the saint..." Even Old Man Zhang found it unbelievable.

  I don't know if this can be considered a blessing.

  He left Old Man Zhang's room and returned to his own yard.

  Gu Shangqing had long been puzzled, "Why did the Queen suddenly summon Zhang Yingzi to the palace? You can't really think she's a good person? If that was the case, she would have rewarded her directly back then, and wouldn't have had to wait until now."

  He didn't even mention giving her a reward, he just said to let Zhang Yingzi enter the palace.

  At the beginning, Li Mumu was far away in Chong'an, but he was rewarded directly by the emperor.

  "You have guessed it, haven't you?" Li Mumu sighed, "I'm afraid the Saint has some suspicions, so he separated Zhang Yingzi and Old Man Zhang to prevent Old Man Zhang's news from leaking out."

  "I guess that once Doctor Lu really finds a way to cure Old Man Zhang, we will also be warned by the saint that the whole family must not disclose Old Man Zhang's condition. If we are not careful, my family will probably suffer as well."

  Li Mumu immediately turned to Gu Mian and said, "Gu Mian, call Manager Yao."
