This damn girl actually dared to "run away from home" without permission. Now is a turbulent time, and she only brought a few shadow guards with her. Does she know how dangerous it is outside?
Zhou Zhaonuan certainly knew how dangerous it was outside. All the little girl relied on was Zhou Beichen's repeated kindness towards her.
She only brought a few of the shadow guards Zhou Beichen gave her. What she hoped was that her father would send her secret guards. After all, it was better to save one's own people and use them elsewhere, to keep an eye on the people in the palace and protect her mother and sister.
Zhou Beichen rubbed his forehead. This girl made his head hurt. It didn't hurt at first, but when he saw Wang Da walking to the door, Zhou Beichen calmed down and gave orders in a bad mood.
"Who allowed you to leave? Get back here! It's okay if she has no rules, but do you have no rules either?"
Wang Da: “…”
His steps paused and his whole body stiffened. My emperor, I am innocent. It was you who told me to leave just now.
Wang Da was very upset, but he didn't dare to say it. In desperation, Wang Da knelt down again.
"I misunderstood, Your Majesty, please punish me."
Zhou Beichen's eyes were dark, and just when Wang Da felt his legs were about to break, he finally spoke.
"There's no need for punishment. Go gather five hundred secret guards and have them secretly follow the princess and protect her. Get out of here."
"ah?"
Wang Da only felt a series of question marks in his head. Didn’t the emperor just swear to arrest someone? Why is he now protecting the princess?
He hesitated and asked.
"Then... Your Majesty, are you going to arrest the princess? Are you just going to send someone to protect her?"
Zhou Beichen felt like he was about to explode with anger. He put his hands on his hips and cursed inadvertently.
"I've already asked you to protect someone, why are you still grabbing? Go and do your job. If you're late and the princess gets hurt, I will never forgive you."
"......yes."
This time, Wang Da left almost instantly and disappeared into the night.
As for Zhou Zhaonuan, because he was really worried about his daughter's safety, Zhou Beichen had specially found a personal maid for her who was good at martial arts, Bilan, who was also a senior maid.
This time, the little girl took both Jade and Blue with her when she left the palace.
The carriage had been traveling for several days, and during this period, several horses had been changed. Bilan was driving outside, and Biyu was serving Zhou Zhaonuan inside.
Biyu, who was leaving the palace for the first time, was extremely curious about the outside world, especially coming to such a faraway place. "Princess, it is really thanks to you that I have the opportunity to come out and see the scenery outside. It is a blessing for me to follow such a good master."
Zhou Zhaonuan shrugged, looking nonchalant.
"That's not a blessing you've earned, it's what you deserve. As long as you follow me and Bilan well, in a few years, if you both find your true love, I will definitely help you."
jasper:"......"
Her lips trembled slightly, and she said that she didn't want to get married. If she got married, she would have to serve a man, and her life might be worse than now. Instead of getting married, she might as well follow the princess and travel around all day. How nice it would be.
"Princess, I don't want to get married. I just want to serve you for the rest of my life."
Zhou Zhaonuan was a little embarrassed. "If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. However, I don't believe that you can remain calm when you have a lover. Biyu, when you want to get married in the future, I won't do it."
Zhou Zhaonuan teased her on purpose, and sure enough, she saw Biyu blushing, "Princess, I won't get married. I've already decided that I will stay by your side from now on."
Zhou Zhaonuan didn't say anything. Suddenly, she thought of something and said it to Biyu solemnly.
"Biyu, you can't call me princess when you're out of the palace. No, just call me sister. Otherwise, miss is fine too."
Biyu happily called out, "Miss."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Forget it, you pig-headed guy. Her original intention was to let Biyu treat her as a sister.
Zhou Zeyun went all the way south, and Zhou Zhaonuan and the others had passed through three places in a short time. At present, it seems that the water has receded and someone has been digging the river and building dams. It seems that as long as the repairs are completed before the next heavy rain comes, the flood will not be so serious.
Admiring his brother's working speed, Zhou Zhaonuan secretly wanted to play a trick on him.
On the tenth day, Zhou Zhaonuan and his companions finally arrived at Anshan, where Zhou Zeyun was now.
Anshan was the place most severely damaged by the flood. The local officials were good officials who never embezzled a single cent, but they were too incompetent.
yamen.
When Zhou Zhaonuan arrived, Zhou Zeyun was sitting in a chair watching the series of disasters caused by floods in the past year. In addition to floods, there was even a locust plague. What's worse, many people were infected with diseases.
The magistrate knelt on the ground tremblingly, and from time to time he secretly looked up at Zhou Zeyun. When his eyes looked at Zhou Zeyun more and more sharp and cold, the magistrate's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that he was in great danger today.
The magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead casually and continued to kneel in a depressed mood. After a long time, he saw a pair of boots with python patterns appear in his sight. He lay on the ground and lowered his body a little.
"Your Highness, Prince of Yan, it's not that I don't want to do it, but the flood is so severe that I can't do it well."
Zhou Zeyun slowly lowered his head and scolded coldly, "If you can't do it well, you won't report it to the higher authorities, even to the court. Don't tell me that they won't send someone to take care of it?"
Speaking of this, the magistrate felt a little wronged. He had reported it before, but the memorial fell into oblivion and there was no response, so he never reported it again.
"I have reported it."
Thinking of the plight of the people in Anshan, Zhou Zeyun was unsure what to feel. He threw the thing in his hand fiercely to the ground, "You reported it, yes, you did. This prince only has your memorial, which was found from the house search and execution of Governor Li. Princess Chang'an didn't pay much attention to it at first. When I returned, I happened to see this memorial in the Ministry of Revenue. You only reported it once. I thought the Anshan flood was not a big deal, but I didn't expect it to become like this now."
Zhou Zeyun was furious, thinking about how many people suffering from the plague had run away. If this continued, one person would infect ten people, and ten people would infect a hundred people. It wouldn't take long before everyone would be infected.
