Chapter 47: Almost Lost My Head



Seeing the two palace maids' eyes, they looked like they had seen a ghost.

Only then did Shen Ningyuan realize that the rumor that Xie Wanzhou chopped down anyone he met was true.

What she just faced was really a madman who could go crazy at any time.

At this moment, Shen Ningyuan felt a chill on his back again, and a wave of fear filled his heart.

She almost lost her head.

Shen Ningyuan swallowed and asked the two palace maids: "After you deliver the wine, can you take me away?"

Hearing this, the two young palace maids looked at Xie Wanzhou cautiously and nodded tremblingly, "It should... be possible."

Xie Wanzhou looks quite normal today.

“Ahem!”

Xie Wanzhou in the room suddenly coughed twice at this moment.

The two palace maids shrank their necks and crawled on the ground in fear, with their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan's curiosity grew even more intense, so she asked, "Why do you like to kneel like this?"

She remembered that there seemed to be no such kneeling ceremony in the palace.

This time, the two palace maids did not look up.

Only one of them answered Shen Ningyuan's question in a low voice, "Miss, you don't know, ever since His Highness got into a wheelchair, he doesn't like to look up when talking to people. When his neck gets tired, he can't control himself and will pick up a knife and chop people's heads off. So over time, the servants have gotten used to kneeling or crawling around in His Highness's bedroom."

Shen Ningyuan: "..."

After hearing this, Shen Ningyuan felt a chill on her neck again, and couldn't help but reached out and touched her neck.

She was just standing and talking to Xie Wanzhou.

In other words, her head almost moved...

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but shudder again.

He quickly squatted down, picked up the two jars of wine on the ground, and whispered, "Wait for me, I'll give the wine to that madman and then I'll go with you."

Hearing this, the round-faced maid replied in a low voice: "Okay... But young lady, you have to hurry. The longer we wait here, the more dangerous our heads will be."

"Yes." Shen Ningyuan nodded seriously, "You swear to heaven that you must not abandon me!"

Neither of the two palace maids responded to her.

Shen Ningyuan didn't have time to ask any more questions, so she turned around and ran away with two jars of wine.

After delivering the wine to Xie Wanzhou, she immediately followed the two palace maids.

I promise to stay away from this Lin'an Palace from now on.

Xie Wanzhou sat in a wheelchair, watching Shen Ningyuan tuck two wine jars under his arms and run towards him as if running for his life.

He immediately controlled the wheelchair and moved back a little distance.

He had a premonition that if he didn't retreat, he would be in trouble.

Sure enough, just as Xie Wanzhou stepped back a little, Shen Ningyuan also stepped onto the stairs.

As a result, she ran too fast and her foot stepped on the hem of her skirt. She leaned forward and fell heavily to the ground.

With a "clang", two jars of wine fell to the ground, the jars broke, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

The spilled wine happened to splash onto the spot where Xie Wanzhou was just now.

In an instant, the aroma of wine filled the air.

Shen Ningyuan raised her head in the aroma of wine and looked at Xie Wanzhou with difficulty.

"Your Highness, I'll compensate you with two jars of wine. Can you calm down?"

Xie Wanzhou snorted coldly: "What do you think?"

That's no room for negotiation.

Shen Ningyuan swallowed hard, and said with a stiff upper lip: "I think it's okay."

Xie Wanzhou didn't say a word, but just lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Ningyuan quietly.

That pitying look seemed to be warning Shen Ningyuan: It’s okay, just be careful in your next life.

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan's heart beat faster.

Sure enough, the Queen planned to bring herself to Lin'an Palace, but she never thought about getting out alive!

The two palace maids outside the hall heard the sound of the jar breaking and immediately looked up in fright.

After seeing the wine spilled all over the floor, their faces turned pale instantly.

She stumbled to her feet and ran out, shouting, "Your Highness, the wine is here. We'll leave first!"

Shen Ningyuan's eyes widened, and she turned around to see the two palace maids leaving her and running away so gracefully.

She opened her mouth, wanting to call out to the two of them, but because she was too nervous, her throat seemed to be glued shut and no sound came out.

She could only watch the backs of the two palace maids, which were getting farther and farther away in her sight until they disappeared.

Didn’t you promise not to abandon her?

Now that things have come to this, I can only rely on myself.

Shen Ningyuan made up her mind and turned back to look at Xie Wanzhou.

Trying to negotiate with him, "Your Highness, my father likes to drink. This matter... you know, right?"

"General Shen is unparalleled in his bravery. He drank three hundred cups like an ox. I have heard of this." Xie Wanzhou raised an eyebrow and asked, "But what does this have to do with you breaking my wine?"

Shen Ningyuan stood up secretly and said, "My father buried many jars of fine wine in his yard. They are all fine wines that are more than ten years old. Some jars of daughter's red wine are older than me. If Your Highness does not hold it against me for today's mistake, I can dig out the fine wine in my father's yard and compensate you with two jars."

As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan gestured with two fingers.

Xie Wanzhou raised his eyebrows and said nothing, just looking at Shen Ningyuan with a half-smile.

He didn't say anything, and Shen Ningyuan thought he was not satisfied with the number.

Then he added two more fingers, "Four altars, are four altars enough? No more!"

Looking at Shen Ningyuan's shaking four fingers, Xie Wanzhou still didn't speak.

But the smile in his eyes added a bit of playfulness.

And in Shen Ningyuan's opinion, his smile meant dissatisfaction.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ningyuan hardened his heart and decided to just go for it.
