Chapter 4: Report! Your Majesty, the Princess has escaped!

In front of the main hall.

The master stood solemnly in front of the incense table, while He Gu, the princess and a group of guests stood behind him, holding their breath.

Just as the master finished lighting the incense and candles, a figure suddenly jumped out from the crowd, grabbed the bronze drum hanging around his waist and pulled it down.

Master: "? Your Majesty?"

It’s the Regent!

He Gu took off the bronze drum and put it around his waist, then reached out to pull the red cloth on his head.

The master was panicked: "Your Highness? Your Highness, what are you doing? This is a prop I used for my ritual!"

The master tried to reason with him, but He Gu snatched the small wooden stick from his hand, and he started to dance with drums and gongs.

"Prince? Prince?" The master was shocked and tried to stand in front of He Gu, but was kicked over by He Gu.

The master was chasing from behind, and He Gu was jumping in front. He felt a strong desire to finish jumping over this great god.

"Oh my God, is the Regent really crazy?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please wake up!"

For a full quarter of an hour, no one could stop He Gu. He danced for a full quarter of an hour, and when he was done, he announced loudly, "There's a seductress in the palace. That's the princess!"

"I suggest executing the princess!"

Everyone looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.

"Your Highness!" Ning Ruyue said in a heartbreaking voice: "You would rather do this than call me a witch?!"

He Gu finally regained control of his body. Seeing the way the guests looked at him as a fool, he was shaking with anger: "Ning Ruyue, you vixen, no, I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy!"

"Oh my god, the Regent is really hopeless..."

"He's so mad, yet he's still thinking about killing the princess. How much does he hate her? It seems the rumors about the regent being harsh on his wife are true!"

"Poor princess, how could she have such a madman..."

He Gu was furious. He quickly walked into the crowd and grabbed the guests: "I am not crazy! Who said I am crazy?!"

The guest trembled with fear.

"Yes, yes, your Highness, you are not crazy. You are not crazy. Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do at home, so I will take my leave now!"

"Yes, yes, we'll take our leave first!"

"No!" He Gu knew that if they went there, he would be labeled a madman forever. With red eyes, he strode forward and stood in front of the guests: "I am really not crazy. Please sit for a while, and I will prove it to you!"

The guests exchanged glances.

This regent is really crazy and there is no hope for him.

A quarter of an hour later, the street songs were updated.

"In the deep courtyard of the Prince Regent's Palace, the Prince Regent is performing a ritual. After the ritual, he asks the guests, 'Is my dance enchanting?'"

The emperor laughed loudly in the palace, and immediately followed public opinion and announced that he would take back the position of regent He Gu.

Incompetent and furious, He Gugou was desperate and approached Ning Ruyue again: "Ning Ruyue, tell me, what do you want to do to me? Do you hate me so much?"

Ning Ruyue was crying heartbrokenly in her room. Upon hearing this, she raised her tearful face and said, "Your Highness! At this point, are you still trying to put the blame on me? What did I do wrong that you're willing to risk your entire reputation to harm me?"

This bitch still refuses to admit her mistake!

He Gu raised his hand to hit someone, but suddenly thought of her terrifying magic and put his hand down.

"Okay, Ruyue, stop being unreasonable, okay?"

He gritted his teeth, suppressed his nausea and said, "Ruyue, if you are doing this to take revenge on me, then I admit that you do have some tricks up your sleeve."

"But think about it yourself. Putting aside the facts, although I am certainly wrong, are you completely blameless?"

"Since you are my beloved wife, I don't want to argue with you anymore. I also admit that you have indeed caught my attention."

"If you ask your father to give this king the tiger talisman, I will forgive you and promise to grant you the favor of a legitimate wife. Do you understand?"

He Gu raised his chin.

This woman, from the past to the present, has only him in her mind. She is making such a fuss just to gain his favor!

For the sake of the tiger talisman, he lowered himself and reluctantly gave her some face!

He waited for Ning Ruyue to lower her head, but he didn't hear her answer for a long time.

Ning Ruyue's body trembled.

Everything Lu Yin said came true...

Your Majesty, what does he think of her?

She raised her head suddenly with tears in her eyes: "Prince, if I give you the tiger talisman, will you kill me?"

He Gu thought to himself, that's just nonsense! Vicious woman, not only will I kill you, I'll also skin you alive and tear out your tendons to vent my hatred! But of course I won't say that out loud.

Shu Yan decisively changed her thoughts into words.

He Gu angrily said, "That's just nonsense! Vicious woman, not only will I kill you, I'll also skin you alive and tear out your tendons to vent my hatred!"

"But of course I won't say that!"

Ning Ruyue finally lost her last bit of hope and said in a trembling voice, "Okay! Okay! He Gu, I misjudged you!"

[Ding! Mission 1: Completed, Merit +10, daily plot change times increased to 5.]

Shu Yan's eyes lit up.

"Merit +10, can I redeem something?"

[Yes, x1 detected, price: 10 merit points; x1, price: 20 merit points.]

Shu Yan was ecstatic and quickly exchanged for the automatic slap package.

At this time, Ning Ruyue had already stood up: "Luyin, let's go!"

He Gu was stunned, anxious and angry.

How could he accidentally say what was in his heart? !

"Ruyue, I didn't mean that. Let me explain!"

Ning Ruyue didn't listen. She pulled Shu Yan and ran quickly to the gate of the palace in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty! I'm leaving! Once I'm gone, it's for the rest of my life!"

He Gu's eyes suddenly turned red: "No! I won't let you go! Ning Ruyue, you are my woman. You are mine in life and mine in death!"

"Oh, let's get divorced! From now on, I, Ning Ruyue, will no longer be your woman!"

Ning Ruyue turned around and walked out of the palace gate resolutely.

"No, come back!" He Gu was furious. "Damn woman, come here, grab her and drag her to the woodshed. I will punish her severely!"

A large group of palace servants rushed over and dragged the princess into the woodshed.

Shu Yan decisively changed the title of princess to prince.

He Gu just smiled smugly when he found that his loyal servants suddenly turned around and rushed towards him with ferocious looks.

"What, what are you doing?"

"Ah! Go drag the princess, what are you dragging me for, you dog slaves, are you crazy?"

He cursed desperately, but it was of no use. Even though he shouted at the top of his lungs, he was still dragged into the woodshed by the servants.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shu Yan helped Ning Ruyue and quickly rented a carriage to go to Ning Mansion.

Shu Yan thought about the automatic slap package in her pocket and wanted to quit the plot. But Ning Ruyue kept holding her hand and crying and thanking her, which made Shu Yan feel embarrassed to leave, so she had to end the plot.

He Gu climbed out of the woodshed and immediately chased after him on horseback.

Shu Yan changed riding to carrying.
