This can also be considered a kind of experience.
“Pah pah pah!”
Hearing the crisp clapping sounds from inside, the guards looked at each other, rushed forward and entered Yingyue Pavilion.
"Your Highness pays homage to the Princess. May the Princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
"Well, get up, tie him up, and interrogate him thoroughly later to see whose orders he followed to assassinate me."
"yes!"
The commander of the guards nodded. However, when he raised his head to tie someone up, he happened to see the faint trace of blood on Zhou Zhaonuan's neck. The commander of the guards was so anxious that he stuttered.
"This...this, Princess, you are injured. Quick, quickly call the imperial physician."
At this time, Zhou Zhaonuan realized that her neck seemed to be a little painful. She touched it lightly and couldn't help but let out a "hiss". The commander of the guards became even more anxious. It was their fault that they failed to protect the princess and caused her to be injured.
So, Zhou Zhaonuan watched a guard crawling to call the imperial physician, and she pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty. Very good, this was the first time she saw this guard going to call the imperial physician.
Xuanzheng Hall.
After watching the assassin enter Yingyue Pavilion, Liangdi waited for a quarter of an hour before slowly walking towards Xuanzheng Hall. However, when she arrived, she was already out of breath.
Deshun saw such a familiar figure from afar. Although he was annoyed, he patiently shook his whisk, walked up to Liangdi, and greeted her happily.
"Your servant pays homage to the noble, and may I ask what brings you here? The Emperor has been very busy these past few days, and he has just instructed us not to disturb him unless it's important."
Liangdi's expression changed slightly, and soon she looked worried.
She said hesitantly.
"I think this is a big deal for the Emperor. I just found a man who looked like an assassin in the Imperial Garden. He went around and around and finally entered the Yingyue Pavilion. I don't know if Princess Chang'an..."
Then, Liangdi saw Deshun running away, muttering a few words under his breath.
"Look, how do you do this? Princess Chang'an, please don't get into trouble."
Deshun ran in and knelt on the ground without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, I just heard from the noble that an assassin has gone to Yingyue Pavilion. I'm not sure if Princess Chang'an is injured. Please go and check on her quickly. After all, those guards are not allowed to enter Yingyue Pavilion without your permission or the princess's permission."
Zhou Beichen, who was about to get angry: "......"
He ignored the ink on the memorial, glared at Deshun, hurriedly stood up from the dragon throne and walked outside.
The only possible assassins who could enter the palace were either extremely skilled warriors or someone who did it on purpose. No matter who it was, if they entered Yingyue Pavilion, he was afraid that they would hurt his precious daughter.
Zhou Beichen walked with big strides, without even passing the imperial sedan chair.
Di Guiren followed closely behind, but Zhou Beichen walked too fast and she couldn't catch up at all. After calling out several times without any result, Di Guiren kept complaining in her heart.
Indeed, for the emperor, anything concerning Princess Chang'an is a big deal. Just wait and see. The Princess Chang'an you love might have fallen to the ground now and will never get up again.
At the same time, Jiao Tangtang, who was originally planning to go to Xuan Zheng Hall to find Zhou Beichen, was intercepted by several unfamiliar eunuchs and taken to a rockery. The leading eunuch had a fierce look on his face, and four or five of them surrounded Jiao Tangtang.
"You...what are you going to do? You know, if you offend me or delay my important work, you will definitely suffer the consequences."
"You...you guys hurry up, get out of the way, get out of the way."
“…”
No matter what Caramel Tang said, the little eunuchs surrounded Caramel Tang around the rockery and refused to speak. They looked at her with a half-smile. For a moment, Caramel Tang was almost going crazy.
She swung the whip in her hand and hit the little eunuch, making a "pa pa" sound and leaving a red mark, but there was nothing she could do as the man did not move.
At this moment, Caramel Tang hated herself for not secretly carrying a dagger.
In Yingyue Pavilion, Zhou Zhaonuan was finally out of danger. The guards quickly tied up the man in black. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, Zhou Zhaonuan took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into the man in black's mouth.
He clapped his hands in disgust, "Alright, this way, we don't have to worry about you committing suicide out of fear of punishment."
Biyu was sleeping soundly, but when she heard the noise outside, she was startled and woke up instantly. What could have happened that could have attracted the guards to come in? There must be an assassin.
"Princess, where is the princess? Princess, please don't be in any trouble."
Without thinking, Biyu got out of bed and put on her shoes. When she saw Zhou Zhaonuan standing on the ground, her nervous heart skipped a beat. She yawned and went back to sleep.
"Princess, would you like me to send this man to the Ministry of Justice?"
The guard leader asked carefully. Zhou Zhaonuan thought for a moment and waved her hand. "No need. This person is here. I have the original intention. This time, I will personally interrogate him."
She just couldn't believe that she, a princess, couldn't defeat a assassin.
"But, Princess..."
The guard leader had an embarrassment on his face. "Since the founding of our country, the interrogation and handling of criminals have all been handled by people from the Ministry of Justice or the Supervisory Department. What if the Emperor finds out about this..."
Zhou Zhaonuan thought about it and agreed, but she couldn’t let him go. She waved her hand and said indifferently.
"Laws always change with time. We should take the essence and discard the dross. I'll talk to my father later."
"......yes."
Still worried that Zhou Zhaonuan would be punished, the guard commander was speechless and had to suppress his worry and nodded in agreement.
After the assassin was caught, the palace maids who had been sent back by Zhou Zhaonuan to rest now knelt in the yard one by one, waiting for their fate. The princess sympathized with her servants. Many times, if they slept too late, she would let them sleep for a few hours the next day.
Over time, their ability to act has deteriorated.
"I am guilty, I deserve to die! I failed to come out to protect the princess in the first place, please punish me, princess!"
In Zhou Zhaonuan's world, they were just listening to her, which was not a crime. Helplessly, Zhou Zhaonuan held her forehead and paused, then said.
"Get up. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. This matter is not your fault. Even if it is the emperor, I will go and tell you, and you will not be blamed."
Just as the servants breathed a sigh of relief, they saw Zhou Beichen rushing over in a hurry, followed by a large group of people.
Zhou Beichen stepped in front of Zhou Zhaonuan, and in an instant, he saw the bright red on his daughter's neck, and his heart felt suffocated.
