But he kept complaining in his heart that his sister was really the one who only allowed the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps. It was obvious that both she and the emperor could beat people, but he couldn't, and he was always the one who got beaten.
Of course, Zhou Zhaonuan's explanation for why Zhou Beichen hit someone was that his father was in a high position and had great power, and sometimes he had to give someone a slap in the face and a sweet treat to win their hearts.
Zhou Zeyu rubbed his butt, and his eyes lit up with excitement again when he saw his sister explained it to him.
"Then why does my sister always kick me? Just now, I didn't do anything wrong."
Zhou Zeyu still prayed for an answer with shining eyes so that he could feel better.
Zhou Zhaonuan pursed her lips, as if she didn't want to dispel the beautiful imagination in Zhou Zeyu's mind. However, in the end, she raised her neck and said slowly.
"Who told you to keep asking questions? If not you, who should I kick? And, don't you know..."
After hearing the first few words, Zhou Zeyu became listless and lowered his head sullenly. A second later, when Zhou Zhaonuan stopped and put her head in front of him, Zhou Zeyu was genuinely happy. However, he was quickly brought back to his original state by Zhou Zhaonuan's words and trembled.
"Sister versus brother, this is the suppression of the ancestral bloodline. Do you not accept it? If you don't accept it, come and hit me!"
Zhou Zhaonuan said as she walked forward, leaving Zhou Zeyu behind. He was dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out of his head in surprise at what Zhou Zhaonuan had just said.
What ancestral bloodline suppression? My sister was clearly making up her mind, but he didn't dare to refute a word.
I am so useless.
At this moment, Zhou Zeyu only regretted that he was not a girl. Otherwise, he could find a younger sister to suppress his ancestral bloodline.
Zhou Zeyu walked very slowly. Zhou Zhaonuan looked back at him several times and found that he was still walking slowly like an old man.
Even in the imperial palace, dangers abound and one cannot relax at all. Zhou Zhaonuan could not help but yell at Zhou Zeyu,
"Yu'er, hurry up and don't dawdle. Go back and sleep well."
"Hey, here I come."
Zhou Zeyu caught up with her in a few steps. Today, Jiao Tangtang did not return home. At this moment, she was eagerly waiting for Zhou Zhaonuan to come back. When she saw the figures at the door, Jiao Tangtang was cheering in her heart.
"Nuannuan, Nuannuan, you're back. You didn't know that I was scared to death just now."
Thinking of the scene just now, Jiaotangtang was still in shock, "What's wrong, Tangtang, could it be that there is a traitor in my Yingyue Pavilion?"
Caramel Tangtang has always been timid, and Zhou Zhaonuan thought it was no big deal, so he said something casually. However, the next moment, Caramel Tangtang was frightened to the point of turning pale.
She nodded carefully.
Seeing that Caramel Tang didn't look like he was joking at all, Zhou Zhaonuan immediately became alert.
"What's going on? Tangtang, tell me."
She took Caramel's hand and sat down on the chair next to her.
There was a serious look on Carameltang's small face. She looked at Zhou Zeyu who was next to Zhou Zhaonuan.
For all these years, Zhou Zhaonuan was half-believing and half-doubting about her younger brother. At this moment, she rolled her eyes and said calmly.
"Tangtang, it's okay. Yu'er is my biological brother. We have been close since we were young. I don't believe he would find a chance to harm me, his sister, right, Yu'er?"
Zhou Zhaonuan asked back, his tone light, but his words showed an inexplicable belief.
This undoubtedly made Zhou Zeyu like his sister even more. He nodded hurriedly and raised his hands to swear.
"Yes, sister, you are Yu'er's good sister. You think so much about me. How could I be so heartless as to find an opportunity to frame you?"
Meeting Zhou Zhaonuan's gaze, Zhou Zeyu was extremely sure. Zhou Zhaonuan touched Zhou Zeyu's head, unable to describe the emotion, "I believe you."
Of course, what Zhou Zhaonuan didn't know was that this brother only thought about betraying her at the beginning, but for the rest of the time, he wholeheartedly believed in her as his sister. In the end, at the critical moment of his life, he also thought about protecting his sister.
Zhou Zeyu stood up, broke away from Zhou Zhaonuan's hand that was stroking his head, pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly.
"Sister, I'm not a kid anymore. You can't touch my head casually anymore. It will stop me from growing taller."
Zhou Zhaonuan thought about it and nodded, "That's right."
Over there, Zhou Zeyu expressed his feelings sincerely, "Sister, Yu'er doesn't know what you think of me, but Yu'er has some resentment towards you, except for some resentment at the beginning. The rest is that seeing you make all kinds of plans for me and running around, Yu'er is not a fool. Yu'er has a grateful heart, and I know that I can't let you down in this world."
How could the brother-sister relationship of several years be so easily shaken? "Good Yu'er, sister understands your heart."
Zhou Zhaonuan couldn't say anything else. She looked at Zhou Zeyu with great certainty in her eyes. Some things were enough to know and didn't have to be said clearly.
The two of them were talking about their sister-brother relationship. On the other side, Jiao Tangtang couldn't help it any longer. She quickly reached out and used brute force to bend Zhou Zhaonuan's head over, speaking solemnly.
"Nuannuan, you don't know. I got bored waiting for you, so I decided to stroll around the yard. The moon was quite big, and suddenly I heard footsteps. Luckily, I was careful and hid. Then I saw a man in black running into your boudoir. In a moment, he came out, looked around, and then left."
Zhou Zhaonuan casually glanced at the very big tree in Yingyue Pavilion, and understood what was going on. However, she couldn't understand why the man in black went to her boudoir in the middle of the night. Could it be that he wanted to stuff something in there to frame her?
"So, Nuannuan, I suspect that someone in this harem is eager to harm you. So, when no one is around in the middle of the night, someone put something in your boudoir. Let's go and see if it's some poisonous scorpion or something."
Zhou Zhaonuan was simply stunned by Carameltang's train of thought. After Zhou Zhaonuan ordered Zhou Zeyu to sleep in the side hall, the two little sisters, plus Bilan, went to the bedroom together.
As the most favored little princess in the harem, it would be impossible to say that no one framed her. Of course, this time, Zhou Zhaonuan didn't know who framed her.
It is difficult to find out the truth by relying on a man in black who can only see his shadow.
Caramel Tangtang and Zhou Zhaonuan have been sisters for many years. Since they were four years old, their relationship has been getting better and better.
Caramel Tangtang walked in front holding Zhou Zhaonuan's arm, and Biyu followed closely behind.
Entering the bedroom, the blue quilt was neatly folded and there was nothing special about the bed.
Fearing that there was something bad on the bed, Bilan ran in at some point. Ever since the emperor ordered her to protect the princess, she had to fulfill her duties conscientiously.
Just as Zhou Zhaonuan was about to lift the mattress, Bilan hurriedly shouted, "Princess, don't lift it."
