Chapter 997 Trust (1/2)
Before Yun Shang arrived at the Qinxin Palace, a servant came in a hurry and reported, ”Your Majesty, Lady Cao has woken up.”
Yun Shang nodded slightly. Yesterday, the imperial physician said that Cao Shanxiu could wake up soon if there is no accident. That meant no one had done anything to Cao Shanxiu last night.
When they arrived at the Qinxin palace, Yun Shang got off the Phoenix chariot and went into the yard. Two servants were chatting at the door. When they saw Yun Shang, they stood up in a hurry and curtsied to her. ”Greetings, your majesty.”
Yun Shang glanced at the two people who looked a little nervous. Her eyes were cold, but she didn't say anything in the end.
After passing through the main hall and entering the bedroom, she saw a maid feeding Cao Shanxiu medicine. The fifteenth Princess stood aside and looked around with a slight frown. She saw Yun Shang at once. Then she withdrew her gaze and looked down at her dress.
Yun Shang walked to the bedside, and Cao Shanxiu was about to stand up. Yun Shang hurriedly stopped her and smiled gently, ”You don't have to stand up, Lady Cao. You were poisoned yesterday because of my dancing dress. I'm really sorry for that.”
Cao Shanxiu hurriedly said, ”I'm fine, your majesty.”
Yun Shang smiled and said, ”You were still in a coma when I left Weiyang Palace. I left in a hurry because I was worried. I'll ask Qian Zhuo to send you some ginseng later. It's good for your health.” Afraid that Cao Shanxiu would refuse, Yun Shang continued before she could say anything, ”Lady Cao has a good daughter. You have been poisoned in the past two days, which makes the fifteenth Princess worried. She has been taking care of you these two days.”
Cao Shanxiu was shocked and looked up at the fifteenth Princess. The fifteenth Princess pursed her lips and said with disgust, ”Who cares about her?” Then she snorted and walked out of the bedroom.
A touch of disappointment flashed through Cao Shanxiu's eyes. The maid with a medicine bowl beside her quickly said, ”Your Highness, her majesty didn't lie to you. Last night, the fifteenth Princess stayed up all night. She was afraid that something might happen to you, so she didn't dare to sleep all night.”
Stunned, Cao Shanxiu turned to look at the maid, with disbelief in her eyes. Yun Shang smiled, ”There is no daughter in the world who really dislikes her mother, isn't there?”
Seeing that Cao Shanxiu didn't say anything, Yun Shang] thought for a while and said, ”You said before that the fifteenth Princess could marry a good man. As long as the man can be good to her, he is not necessarily a high-ranking official or a noble one. I've been looking for someone in the court these days, and I've also chosen a few people with good character and talent. In two days, I'll also someone to collect their information and send it to you. ”
Cao Shanxiu lowered her head and said in a low voice, ”Thank you for your concern, your majesty.”
