"You're scared??? There's nothing in this world that could possibly scare you, Princess Chang'an. I think the Emperor has really spoiled you to the point of being lawless, to the point where you even dare to think of running away."
When Shen Nian'an thought about the little girl really running to the border without knowing her own limitations, her scalp tingled. This child was too much of a worry.
No, she has to go to Xuanzheng Hall later.
"Mother, Nuannuan has a reason."
Zhou Zhaonuan was still kneeling, but he was not at a disadvantage in his words.
Over the years, Shen Nian'an knew that as long as this girl wanted to accomplish something, she would spare no effort to do it, which gave Shen Nian'an a headache.
"I don't care if you have any reasons, Zhou Zhaonuan, I'm telling you, if you dare to sneak away, I'll let your father break your legs."
Zhou Zhaonuan pursed her lips, obviously feeling more aggrieved. She looked up, reached out to wipe away the tears that didn't exist at all, and choked with sobs.
"Mother couldn't bear it, so she asked Father to beat me, but Father would definitely be reluctant to do so either. I hope Mother will show mercy and grant your daughter's wish."
Shen Nian'an only felt a breath of cold air. This girl, from childhood to adulthood, has too many ghost ideas. If she is not controlled at this time, she is really afraid...
If she accidentally died on the battlefield, she and the emperor would regret it and feel heartbroken for the rest of their lives.
"I'm still trying to help you. I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible. Zhou Zhaonuan, from today until your father returns from the imperial expedition, you will never leave this palace."
After Shen Nian'an finished speaking, she stood up with the help of Aunt Xu and walked out quickly. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would really not be able to help but beat her.
She hasn't even reached marriage age yet, so why is she joining in the fun on the battlefield?
"Mother, mother..."
Zhou Zhaonuan cried out several times in pain, but Shen Nian'an didn't turn around, thinking she was just talking to herself.
Little did she know that when she saw the dark red on her daughter's neck, Shen Nian'an's heart was about to break. If she really died, then what would this little injury mean?
Yingyue Pavilion fell silent again. Before they knew it, a quarter of an hour had passed and Yu Shu replied.
Just when he was about to become a eunuch, the man in black confessed that his master was Concubine Liang. As for what happened afterwards, he did not say a word.
While Yu Shu and the others were getting pen and paper to release him and ask him to write a confession, the man in black suddenly used all his strength to slam his head against the wall and was unable to recover.
Bilan was very upset, but there was nothing she could do.
At this moment, several people knelt in front of Zhou Zhaonuan obediently.
"I am guilty, please punish me, Princess."
Zhou Zhaonuan was still lying on the ground. When she heard the news, she smiled in a daze. The man in black was dead, and there was no evidence. So, what did it matter whether she could ask this question or not?
She waved her hand.
"Well, all of you, each of you will be fined half a year's salary. Leave now."
Zhou Zhaonuan stood up in a daze and turned to walk towards the bedroom. This year was a turbulent time, and there were more things to do during this period. She wanted to lie down and think carefully.
The moment he stood up, Zhou Zhaonuan's body trembled uncontrollably due to the suddenness of his movement, and Biyu quickly supported him.
"Princess, you look so tired these past few days, you even have dark circles under your eyes. Princess, why don't you just give up and don't leave the palace? There are still four days before the Emperor leaves the palace, and time is too tight."
Biyu had a worried look on her face, and Zhou Zhaonuan shook her head and said firmly.
"No, how can I change my mind so easily now that I've made up my mind? I'm fine. Tomorrow, I have to go and beg my mother."
If her requests didn't work, she would go and ask her mother for help.
jasper:"......"
Alas, their princess is really a person who will not give up until she sees the Yellow River and will not cry until she sees the coffin.
After committing such a big mistake, they were only fined a few months' salary. Thinking of how generous the princess was to them on a daily basis, Yu Shu and the others felt very upset.
As Zhou Zhaonuan was walking, she suddenly thought of something. She held Biyu's hand and asked anxiously.
"By the way, wasn't Tangtang going to Xuanzheng Hall just now? How come the emperor is here but she hasn't come back yet?"
Biyu had no idea such a thing existed and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Princess, that's not right. The Emperor was dragged here by the noble lady. He said an assassin had entered here. No one mentioned Miss Tangtang."
Zhou Zhaonuan frowned and immediately became alert.
"It's over, Sugar."
I hope nothing happens to Tangtang. Someone must have kidnapped Tangtang, maybe it's Concubine Liang's people.
"Yushu, Bilan, the two of you, go out and look for Tangtang. See where she is, somewhere like the Imperial Garden. If you find any trace of her, come back and tell me immediately."
Zhou Zhaonuan was terrified. Yushu and Bilan looked at each other and immediately became alert.
In the end, Yushu and Bilan walked almost all over the imperial garden and the entire palace, but did not find any trace of Jiaotangtang. Just when the two were about to go back and discuss the matter, as they passed through the imperial garden, Bilan vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone hiding in the stone cave of the rockery.
"Yushu, what do you see there?"
Following Bilan's gaze, the two walked forward together, vaguely feeling that something was wrong. When they got closer, Bilan covered her mouth in fear.
"Yushu, it's really Miss Tangtang. Please don't let her die."
Bilan's heart was beating fast with nervousness. Compared to Bilan, Yushu was much more relaxed. He first sniffed Caramel's breath, and suddenly his heart brightened.
"She's not dead. I'm afraid she just fainted. Otherwise, take Miss Tangtang back quickly."
......
"Oh? Then according to Concubine Liang's suggestion, I want to go to Yingyue Pavilion to see if the man in black has hidden anything there?"
Zhou Beichen rubbed his brows in annoyance. He had finally finished explaining the matter and had a chance to relax for a while. But before he could even finish his glass of water, Concubine Liang came in in a hurry, crying and asking him to think about Zhou Zhaonuan and to ask the guards to check if there was any potential danger in Yingyue Pavilion.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. Since the man in black had such a way to get in, he must have been able to put something there without anyone noticing. To be on the safe side, Your Majesty should go and take a look. If there really is a problem, wouldn't the princess be in danger?"
Concubine Liang was always looking forward to Zhou Beichen's expression when he found a rag doll embroidered with his name and full of needles in the palace of his favorite daughter.
"this......"
Zhou Beichen frowned slightly, seeming a little embarrassed, "Liang Fei, Nuan Nuan is surrounded by experts. Although she doesn't like people following her, I guess in such a short time, the black-clothed man can't put anything down."
"But, Your Majesty..."
Concubine Liang was halfway through her words when she was interrupted by a loud voice from outside: "The Queen has arrived!"
