Chapter 047: Almost Lost My Head
Seeing the two palace maids’ eyes, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Only then did Shen Ningyuan realize that the rumor that Xie Wanzhou would chop anyone he met was not false.
What she just faced was really a lunatic who could go crazy at any time.
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan felt a chill on her back again, and a wave of fear filled her 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 against the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan became even more curious, 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, since His Highness sat in a wheelchair, he doesn't like to look up and talk to people. When his neck is tired, he can't control himself and will chop people's heads with a knife. So over time, the servants came to His Highness's bedroom and got used to kneeling like this, or walking on their stomachs."
Shen Ningyuan: "..."
After hearing this, Shen Ningyuan felt her neck getting cold again, and couldn’t help but reach out and touch 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 lunatic and then go with you."
Hearing this, the round-faced maid replied in a low voice: "Okay... But young lady, you have to hurry up. The longer we wait here, the more dangerous our heads will be."
"Yes." Shen Ningyuan nodded solemnly, "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 continue asking questions, so he 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 in the future.
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 just stepped onto the stairs.
As a result, she ran too hastily and her foot stepped on the hem of her skirt. She tilted forward and fell heavily to the ground.
With a "clang", two jars of wine fell to the ground, breaking into pieces and spilling the wine all over the floor.
The splashed wine happened to splash on the place 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 will compensate you with two jars of wine. Can you calm down?"
Xie Wanzhou snorted coldly: "What do you think?"
That means there is no room for negotiation.
Shen Ningyuan swallowed hard, and gritted his teeth and said, "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 and 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!"
Chen Ningyuan's eyes widened, and she turned around to see the two palace maids just leaving her and running away.
She opened her mouth and wanted 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.
You promised not to abandon her, didn’t you?
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 extremely brave and drank 300 cups like an ox. I have heard about this." Xie Wanzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "But what does this have to do with you breaking my wine?"
Chen 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, but just looked 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.
But in Shen Ningyuan's opinion, his smile meant dissatisfaction.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Ningyuan made up his mind and just went for it.
"Ten jars!" Shen Ningyuan gritted her teeth, "No more!"
The smile in Xie Wanzhou's eyes became more playful.
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Shen Ningyuan became completely anxious.
I wondered if Xie Wanzhou's current condition was a sign of a relapse.
Shen Ningyuan's heart tightened, and she secretly wondered how to escape this disaster.
But at this time, Xie Wanzhou suddenly said, "Okay."
Shen Ningyuan was stunned, thinking that she had heard it wrongly, "What did you say?"
"I say, OK." Xie Wanzhou replied patiently, "Give me ten jars of General Shen's hidden good wine, and I won't bother with you about what happened today."
"Hmm?" Shen Ningyuan was still a little hesitant, "Then, will you get sick again?"
Xie Wanzhou raised his eyes to look at Shen Ningyuan, and said for no reason, “I have always been normal.”
Shen Ningyuan didn't understand the implication of his words, and murmured: "A madman will think he is a normal person."
"What did you say?" Xie Wanzhou's face darkened.
Shen Ningyuan quickly waved her hand and said, “I also think that His Highness is a normal person and doesn’t look like a madman at all.”
Seeing that she changed her mind, Xie Wanzhou didn't bother with her. He turned the wheelchair around and walked into the house.
Before leaving, he said lightly, "Clean up this place before you leave."
Shen Ningyuan stood outside the door, looking at Xie Wanzhou's back, and shouted, "Then should I send those ten jars of good wine to you?"
Xie Wanzhou didn't even turn his head and said, "You don't need to send me off. I will go and get it myself."
Shen Ningyuan wanted to continue asking, but Xie Wanzhou's figure had already disappeared deep into the curtain.
"Your Highness?" Shen Ningyuan called out tentatively.
No one responded.
"Xie Wanzhou?" Shen Ningyuan summoned up the courage and called out again.
Still no one responded.
The only response she got was silence in the room.
