Eunuch Xu told Zhang Yingzi exactly how she reacted.

  The queen smiled lightly, turned to the saint and said, "Zhang Yingzi thinks Madam Gu is meddling in her affairs."

  The saint sneered.

  "So after Zhang Yingzi changed her clothes and came out, I saw Madam Gu glance at Old Man Zhang's door and opened her mouth to remind Zhang Yingzi, but she didn't say anything in the end." Eunuch Xu said, "I dare to guess that Madam Gu was afraid that her kindness would be misunderstood by Zhang Yingzi. Zhang Yingzi forgot to go to see Old Man Zhang, but Madam Gu reminded her, which made Zhang Yingzi seem heartless. Zhang Yingzi hated Madam Gu for deliberately framing her."

  "Secondly, I was also worried that I would misunderstand that Zhang Yingzi was heartless. So Madam Gu weighed the pros and cons and finally did not remind her."

  The queen nodded slowly, "That's right. For things like this, it's wrong to remind people or not."

  "If I remind her, Zhang Yingzi will misunderstand me and she will be seen as heartless. If I don't remind her, it will seem like I am deliberately not letting her remember." The Queen shook her head. "Madam Gu is also in a difficult position on this matter."

  Eunuch Xu also talked about Zhang Yingzi's behavior on the way. "Zhang Yingzi asked me about the rules of entering the palace. I specifically told her that when you see the queen, you must kneel down and not stand up unless the queen calls you to stand up. After standing up, you must not look directly at the queen unless the queen calls you to look up."

  "After entering the palace, don't look around." said Eunuch Xu.

  "So how did she perform after entering the palace?" asked the saint.

  The queen herself said about Zhang Yingzi's behavior after entering the palace, "I just despise her affectation."

  "Did she think I couldn't tell that she was looking up at me on purpose, pretending to be innocent? And she even said that I reminded her of her mother who passed away young." The Queen shook her head. "She was just trying to trick me into accepting her as her adopted daughter, and asking the Saint to make her a princess?"

  "The princess of Daxi is so noble, she really dares to think so." Even the queen couldn't help but be angry at this time.

  The queen sighed and continued, "I asked her to stay in the palace for a few days. She was so happy that she couldn't hide it."

  The Queen shook her head. "I was so expecting her to say something like, 'I miss my old father.' I could have just said, 'I'll arrange for a royal doctor to take care of him.' I told her not to worry. Someone will come every day to report back on old man Zhang's condition."

  "But she didn't say a word." The queen was a little sad, and her voice was much lower. "I heard that Old Man Zhang loved her very much. When the family was not well-off, Old Man Zhang never asked her to do any heavy work. As long as she asked for something, Old Man Zhang would always try his best to satisfy her."

  "Originally, she brought Old Man Zhang to Beijing to seek medical treatment. I thought that no matter how much she lacked in other aspects, she was at least filial." The queen said slowly, "But now it seems that she has gained benefits, but she has not thought about her seriously ill father in bed at all. This person is really heartless."

  "Your Majesty, when she heard that I wanted to keep her in the palace, she showed a little hesitation. Do you know why?" The Queen thought of this and became angry again.

  "Why?" The saint now regarded Zhang Yingzi's behavior as a joke.

  The queen shook her head speechlessly and said, "It was because she didn't bring any change of clothes. I told her to make a few more sets of clothes for her, and she happily went to the bedroom that had been prepared for her."

  The Queen snorted coldly, "What a heartless person! I still prefer people who are bright and generous like the Crown Princess, and who are witty and intelligent like Madam Gu."

  That Zhang Yingzi is really stingy and stupid.

  It's so hard to like it!

  The saint tapped the armrest of the huanghuali wood chair with his fingertips and said, "If that's the case, then Zhang Yingzi brought Old Man Zhang to Beijing to seek medical treatment out of three parts of sincerity, and the other seven parts for other purposes."

  "Judging from Zhang Yingzi's performance today, the Saint's previous speculation is not impossible." The Queen said slowly, "Even if there is an imperial physician to treat him, Imperial Physician Lu has not yet found a way to cure Old Man Zhang. According to common sense, Zhang Yingzi should not be so at ease and not care about Old Man Zhang's condition at all. Even if she can't let go of the benefits of staying in the palace for a while, she shouldn't even think about going back to see Old Man Zhang before coming back."

  "This means that she didn't come to the capital just for Old Man Zhang's illness, but had another purpose. Even Old Man Zhang's illness was just a trigger..." The Queen also analyzed, "When she learned that she would stay in the palace for a while, she was very happy and didn't think about Old Man Zhang at all."  

  The Queen leaned closer to the Saint, "Or maybe her original intention was to enter the palace?"

  "If Old Man Zhang is not suffering from an acute illness but is poisoned, then the most skilled doctors in the world are all in the palace. If the imperial physicians in the palace cannot cure it, then it means that the poison is indeed effective." The Queen said, "On the one hand, Zhang Yingzi wants to verify whether the imperial physicians can cure it. On the other hand, perhaps she wants to enter the palace."

  Why enter the palace?

  Of course, he was looking for an opportunity to poison the saint.

  At this moment, Zhang Yingzi didn't know that she was suspected by both the emperor and the empress.

  So, the saint returned and arranged for secret guards to keep a close eye on Zhang Yingzi.

  There are not only men but also women as secret guards.

  The palace sent someone to the Gu family to tell them that Zhang Yingzi was allowed to stay in the palace for a few days by the queen.

  "As expected, Madam guessed it right." Gu Shangqing said.

  Zhang Yingzi is not here, so she cannot see Old Man Zhang, and Old Man Zhang must be confused.

  So I have to tell Old Man Zhang about this matter.

  Old Man Zhang was naturally even more worried, so Li Mumu could only comfort him, "It's because the queen likes Miss Zhang that she let her stay in the palace for a few days. Don't worry."

  "This is a good thing. When I am gone, at least this reputation can still protect her." Old Man Zhang said, "I just hope Yingzi can behave herself better in the palace, control her outspoken temper, speak and act more prudently, and don't let a good thing turn into a bad thing."

  Li Mumu sighed inwardly, Zhang Yingzi's character was somewhat related to the fact that she was spoiled by old man Zhang.

  In Old Man Zhang's opinion, Zhang Yingzi's temper is just that she speaks her mind.

  However, Old Man Zhang really wanted to do good for Zhang Yingzi.

  The first reaction was that if Zhang Yingzi stayed in the palace for a few days, he would have a good reputation in the future, which would be beneficial to Zhang Yingzi.

  But he didn't think about whether Zhang Yingzi had asked him.

  "Then you should have a good rest. If you need anything, just tell me." Li Mumu said.

  Seeing Li Mumu was about to leave, Old Man Zhang finally couldn't help but said, "Mrs. Gu."

  Li Mumu turned around, "What else?"

  Old man Zhang hesitated for a while and said, "Yingzi...did she ever mention me?"

  Old man Zhang suddenly remembered that Zhang Yingzi went to the palace in the morning without telling him, as if she didn't even think about seeing him.

  Old man Zhang was indeed feeling a bit uncomfortable about this matter.
