"What? Why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly."
Zhou Zhaonuan glanced at everyone and found Bilan still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help talking.
"Bilan, you have to know that what I just said is not a joke."
"Yes, yes, I'll get up right away."
"That's good! Bilan, you don't have to kneel in front of me all the time. Look at Biyu, she's so heartless every day, but she plays and jokes with me in private. How nice."
There were thousands of words in her heart, but at this critical moment, Bilan's lips trembled and she couldn't say a word.
Zhou Zhaonuan didn't care about these things. "Nuannuan, Nuannuan, God will not let down those who work hard. We found it. It really exists. Look at this thing."
Caramel Tangtang ran in noisily, temporarily interrupting the warmth. Zhou Zhaonuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Caramel Tangtang holding a white rag doll with needles stuck all over it.
Witchcraft?
A few big words suddenly appeared in her mind. Zhou Zhaonuan frowned. Caramel Tang had already run to her with the rag doll.
At this moment, Caramel felt so angry that her stomach ached and she had no desire to sleep.
"Nuannuan, look, this guy, who did he dare to use this witchcraft on?"
"On whom?"
His brain was working rapidly, and after thinking about everyone, Zhou Zhaonuan finally locked on one person.
"Could it be... Father?"
Caramel Tang immediately smiled and handed the doll to Zhou Zhaonuan.
"Nuannuan, you guessed it right. The person above is actually the emperor. I think they really don't want their own lives anymore. They actually dare to curse the emperor like this."
Zhou Zhaonuan was unusually calm after taking the rag doll in her hand and looking at it. After just a moment, she calmly handed the rag doll to Biyu and said lightly.
"Biyu, take all the needles out of this doll and look through our warehouse to see if we have the material to make it. If we do, you'd better work overnight and make me an identical one and put it back. My little sister will have to stay up all night, though. Don't worry, tomorrow I'll make an excuse that you have a cold and let you rest for a day."
"Really?"
Over the years, Zhou Zhaonuan has been framed all the time, and she has become accustomed to it. Anyway, the princess will be out of danger in the end, so all she has to do is follow the princess's instructions and do her job well. There is no need to think too much about other things. Besides, she can sleep in again tomorrow, which is great!
Zhou Zhaonuan nodded. Biyu could no longer control herself. She took the rag doll and ran to the storeroom. Before leaving, she repeatedly assured him, "Princess, don't worry. Even if my hands are dry and smoking, I will get it out for you overnight. Please rest assured."
Caramel Tang was a little confused about Zhou Zhaonuan's intentions. "Nuannuan, I don't understand. Shouldn't you hand this thing over to the Emperor and let him investigate? Why bother with all this effort?"
Considering how much the emperor has doted on Nuannuan over the years, he could just be a hands-off boss and throw the rag doll into the Xuanzheng Hall. The emperor would definitely be heartbroken for Nuannuan and would trust Nuannuan even more.
"Nuannuan, if the emperor saw that rag doll, wouldn't he be even angrier and arrest the person who made it?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhaonuan smiled evilly, found a chair, sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke slowly.
"Tangtang, the border has been unrest lately. Father is already overwhelmed with work every day. I can't add to his troubles. Moreover, witchcraft is a very complex matter. If we investigate it as swiftly as Father does, I don't know how many people will be implicated. I'm afraid the dynasty will be in turmoil. So it's better for me to investigate it myself."
"But, Nuannuan, even if you make a new doll, it won't be able to cancel the curse on the emperor. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will be cursed by that thing..."
Caramel's little face wrinkled, full of worry and fear. If the emperor died, it would be the end.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
After being stunned for a second, she burst into laughter. She really wanted to knock open the child's head to see what was going on inside and how he could believe such a thing.
What kind of witchcraft is this? It's simply nonsense. Dad doesn't believe it, mom doesn't believe it, and it's even more impossible for her to believe it.
Zhou Zhaonuan burst into laughter, "Hahaha!"
Caramel: “…”
An indescribable expression appeared on her face. She was worried about Zhou Zhaonuan in her heart. Finally, she touched Zhou Zhaonuan's head and asked carefully.
"Well, Nuannuan, even though that person is the cursed emperor, it may not come true. Don't take it too seriously. Relax."
Zhou Zhaonuan described his worry and concern for Caramel in one sentence.
She reached out, patted Caramel on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.
"Child, you should be more careful. If you read more carefully, you will know that the so-called witchcraft is only believed by extremely bored and pedantic people. As for my father, he once told me that the so-called witchcraft is nonsense. There is no need to believe it or care about it."
At this moment, Caramel's worldview seemed to be magnified. She opened her mouth in surprise, "Then...then, Nuannuan, why did you ask Biyu to destroy the doll and make a new one?"
"This?"
Zhou Zhaonuan thought about it, patted Jiaotangtang's shoulder, and the two walked towards the bedroom together. He gave an instruction to Bilan who followed beside him.
"Bilan, it's too late. Go get some rest. Only after a good rest can you have the strength to capture the enemy with me tomorrow."
"yes."
Bilan's eyes showed an eager look as she ran away swiftly.
Bedroom.
After the two sisters finished packing, they climbed onto a bed and said, "Nuannuan, you can talk to me now."
Caramel turned over and lay in front of Zhou Zhaonuan, her big eyes shining, obviously she couldn't wait for this matter.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhaonuan proudly kept the secret from her, wrapped himself in the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
He only left one sentence to the joyful and expectant Caramel, "Well, to know what will happen next, please see who will come to pick a fight tomorrow!"
Lying beside Zhou Zhaonuan in the dark night, Jiao Tangtang wanted to cry but had no tears. If possible, she really wanted to cry so hard that Zhou Zhaonuan's ears would be shattered.
The next morning, Zhou Zhaonuan slept soundly. When he opened his eyes, he saw the two dark circles under Caramel's eyes and jumped three feet high in fright.
"Tang, Tang, what's wrong with you?"
Caramel Tang pursed his lips.
