Chapter 430: Chen Zhao's Extra (9)

It’s Mid-Autumn Festival again, a festival for family reunion.

A grand banquet is about to be held in the palace. The two princes will present great gifts to the emperor and empress as in previous years. Young Master Xiao will pretend that nothing has happened as in previous years, and Shen Zhaozhi will have no chance of anything happening.

But at this moment he was thinking of another person, his biological mother, the fox demon Hu Shanshan.

He once thought that his parents were together because of love, and despised his mother's identity for giving him a shameful half-demon life.

He despised his mother for not understanding human rules and being timid and unpresentable.

He even imagined that if his mother was not a fox demon but an ordinary lady from a noble family, everything would be different.

Not to mention Prince Qiushi, isn't he at least a decent prince?

Reason told him that these thoughts were wrong, but he just couldn't control them.

There is a huge difference between the prince and ordinary people, and he cannot ignore it.

But now his mind has changed.

His mother was forced and his birth was a tragedy.

She is now under house arrest and he has been abandoned.

Now that he has grown up, he should go and rescue his mother.

When he and his master obtain the throne together...

But before that, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he wanted to go see his mother.

…

At midnight, Chen Zhaozhi was wandering aimlessly on the streets of the capital.

He had been thinking about how to meet his mother for several days.

What to say and what gifts to bring.

The gifts given by the Crown Prince and the Second Prince to the Emperor would certainly be priceless calligraphy and paintings, and swords, and the gifts given to the Empress and the Imperial Concubine would also be fine jewelry and jade.

These things... not to mention that he couldn't afford the best.

Even if he could afford it, would his fox demon mother like it?

He didn't even know what his mother liked.

Foxes like...rabbits, rabbits?

Perhaps others would know better than him who is so careless?

Chen Zhaozhi unknowingly walked to the vicinity of a quiet mansion.

He stood quietly for a while, using his spiritual power to sense the movements of the people in the mansion.

The guards were standing guard at the door, the servants were wandering around nearby, and the big black dog was sleeping soundly in the house.

He found a suitable position, jumped lightly, and landed in the courtyard. Then he avoided the servant in three or two steps and went around to the back of a separate room.

When cultivators deal with ordinary people, they will crush them. No matter how powerful an ordinary person is, he may not be able to defeat a first-level cultivator with a quick mind.

Not to mention that Chen Zhaozhi has now reached the fourth level of cultivation.

He took a few more steps closer silently and heard the sound of someone walking in the room.

Sure enough, he hasn’t slept yet.

Xia Wanqing always goes to bed very late, sometimes reading, sometimes practicing martial arts, and sometimes writing and painting.

In her own words, she applies the most expensive powder and stays up the longest.

Yes, Chen Zhaozhi sneaked into the Xia Mansion.

This was also his first time visiting the Xia Mansion.

He once thought that when he came to the Xia Mansion for the first time, he would bring a betrothal gift and sincerity to propose to Minister Xia.

It was later discovered that he was only allowed to visit secretly.

Xia Wanqing's boudoir is different from many other families. Because she often practices martial arts, her boudoir is a separate room surrounded by beautiful green plants and flowers, and there is also a separate martial arts training room connected to it.

It's very similar to her, beautiful and thorny.

He stood by the window, looking at the beautiful figure inside. The candlelight printed her outline on the window paper, as if the person was right in front of him.

Chen Zhao recalled the past and felt both happy and depressed.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on the window...

The window was suddenly pushed open, and with a whoosh, a long spear stabbed out from the window, heading straight for Shen Zhaozhi's forehead without mercy!

She found him!

"Wan..." Chen Zhao subconsciously called her, but then retracted his voice for fear of attracting attention.

Xia Wanqing originally thought it was some scoundrel, but was surprised to see it was him.

But she never had the nerve to "shrink back", so she rushed out of the window swiftly and continued her attack.

In front of Xia Wanqing, Chen Zhaozhi's theory that "physiognomists are always better than ordinary people" did not work.

Because Xia Wanqing knew Chen Zhaozhi too well, she knew how the fortune teller usually attacked, and she also knew how to launch an attack so that Chen Zhaozhi could not use his moves.

She frequently attacked his hands, forcing him to be unable to make hand gestures, and attacked his face from time to time, preventing him from chanting spells.

Chen Zhaozhi could only dodge and retreat, and finally his body became unstable and he fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same moment, Xia Wanqing's gun tip was against Shen Zhaozhi's throat.

"If you dare to move your hand again, this gun will immediately pierce your throat." Xia Wanqing was dressed in plain clothes, but she was as cold as a female demon.

Just as Chen Zhaozhi was about to speak, a burst of crackling footsteps came over. It must be the guards in the mansion!

He thought to himself that something was wrong, but fortunately it was night time and no guard dared to actually run up to Xia Wanqing.

"Miss!" someone shouted, "Did someone break in? Are you okay?"

Chen Zhaozhi quickly mouthed to her, asking her not to say anything so as not to ruin her reputation.

But is Xia Wanqing the kind of girl who cares about her reputation? Definitely not.

She pushed the spear forward again, piercing Shen Zhaozhi's skin and making him grimace in pain.

"Miss?!" the guard shouted again worriedly, and the voice was getting closer and closer.

The one who is most afraid now is not Xia Wanqing but Chen Zhaozhi. If something goes wrong now, those people in the court, including Xiao Yu, will definitely not let him go!

"It's okay." Xia Wanqing finally spoke, but then added, "My dog ​​ran away. Go find me some ropes and throw them in so I can tie him up."

Chen Zhaozhi: “…”

"Woof woof!" Xia Wanqing's dog outside barked a few times in cooperation.

"Yes, Miss!" The guard quickly threw the rope in and retreated as Xia Wanqing instructed.

Xia Wanqing kicked Chen Zhaozhi and turned him over. Holding the gun in one hand, she grabbed Chen Zhaozhi's wrists with the other and skillfully tied him up with a rope. After making sure he could not move, she lifted him up.

"You came here so late at night. If you have anything to say, you can say it now." She said coldly, "I'll give you three chances to say something. Then get out of here."
