Your Highness, we understand and remember.
"Then you should pack up and go back to your rooms to sleep."
Your Highness, what about the people on the ground?
"Whatever we do, let them lie on the ground since it's cool there."
Will they cause us trouble when they wake up tomorrow?
"We're all locked up, how would we know they were drugged? Don't you think so?"
The accountant thought the princess was really ruthless, but he liked the princess's lively personality.
He thought he would be willing to follow a princess like that in the future.
Hahaha... Right, we're all locked up, how would we know what's going on outside?
"Alright, let's wash up and go to bed."
After a short while, the dozen or so people went back to their rooms, worked for a while, and then went to sleep.
They were not afraid that night, because their little princess gave them peace of mind.
Nothing happened that night. As the morning sun slowly climbed onto the treetops, the sleeping Imperial Guards on the ground slowly opened their eyes one by one.
When the captain of the Imperial Guard woke up, he exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, how did I end up sleeping on the floor?"
After his initial surprise, he looked at the Imperial Guards who had just opened their eyes.
"Oh no, enemy activity! Form ranks..."
The Imperial Guards who had been drugged by Shen Yingying were still feeling somewhat limp.
One by one, feeling weak and powerless, they stood up and began to integrate.
Brothers, stay alert. Something's happened here. Quick, check if the criminals have escaped.
The Imperial Guard soldiers lingered and looked towards the room.
The captain of the Imperial Guard, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "Stop dawdling! The criminals have escaped! Do you want to lose your heads?"
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards quickened their pace to see if the criminals had escaped.
The guards were relieved when they saw that the servants in the room were sleeping soundly.
"Captain, they're all in their rooms, sleeping soundly."
The captain of the Imperial Guard, upon hearing that these people were sleeping soundly while he himself had spent the night on the cold ground, was deeply moved.
Feeling resentful, he said to the Imperial Guards, "Wake them all up, I have questions to ask."
"Get up, get up, all of you get up!"
The servants, who were fast asleep, were woken up.
"Sir, why have you called us up?"
Did you hear any noises in the room last night?
"A sound? There's no sound..."
No? ……
"No……"
We were drugged last night, did you do it?
"We're innocent, sir. We were all locked in rooms, how could we have drugged you?"
The captain of the Imperial Guard is now suffering in silence, unable to express his bitterness.
If the higher-ups find out, the punishment could range from dismissal from office and expulsion from the Imperial Guard to death.
You really didn't hear anything?
The accountant heard the Imperial Guard captain ask again, "Sir, I heard you..."
The servants were all ready to watch the Imperial Guards have a good show, but to their surprise, the accountant suddenly shouted that he had heard them.
They glared at the accountant with shared hatred.
But the accountant said to the captain of the Imperial Guard, "Sir, I was half asleep last night when I thought I heard a thud, a sound of someone falling to the ground, but it didn't last long."
I was sleeping because I was sleepy, so I didn't notice. Now that you've asked, I remember.
"I don't know if this is the voice you're referring to, sir."
Upon hearing what the accountant said, the captain of the Imperial Guard was so angry he felt like he was going to die.
The captain of the Imperial Guard thought to himself: Damn it, you didn't hear anything, but you did hear us faint. Damn it, can't you just pretend you didn't hear that?
"Did you hear any other sounds?"
Sir, I fell asleep. I don't know if there are any other sounds.
