On the other side, Du Ruolan saw all this and her heart was broken. She was even on the verge of collapse. She didn't care about anything else and started cursing.
"Li Zichu, you are really a fool. You were sold and still counted the money. Today, if you don't come with me, you will regret it."
By the time Du Ruolan finally came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a bright moon had risen in the sky.
A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye and was wiped away by Du Ruolan happily.
Since none of her children are ambitious and have a conscience, and they all side with their father, there is no need for her to harm herself for him.
Shrugging her shoulders, Du Ruolan looked at the big moon in the sky, composed herself, and walked towards the Du Mansion.
......
Ever since Shen Nian'an went to the cold palace and never returned, and Zhou Zhaonuan went to find Zhou Zeyun and also never returned.
Xuanzheng Hall.
After reviewing the memorial, the Emperor felt more and more that something was wrong. He paced back and forth on the ground. Deshun counted the hours silently. After half an hour, Zhou Beichen finally could not sit still anymore.
"Deshun, why hasn't Princess Chang'an returned yet?"
Deshun was startled, then delighted, and said respectfully with his usual expression.
"Your Majesty, ever since Princess Chang'an left, I have been keeping watch. The princess first sought out His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, and after a brief discussion, they returned to the Pepper Room. The princess hid the Imperial Sword under the bed, next to her gold chest. Then, the two of them, whispering to each other, walked together to the Cold Palace."
They are really two clever little guys.
Zhou Beichen sneered, his anger rising. Wait a minute, I will bring you two little bastards back and make sure to give each of you a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.
"Go to the cold palace. I want to see what Princess Chang'an is doing."
His gloomy expression made Deshun break out in a cold sweat for the three people in the cold palace.
As they walked along the palace road, Zhou Beichen did not forget to instruct, "Go, ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a few side dishes that the princess and Prince Yan would like, and send them to the cold palace for me."
When Deshun heard this, he immediately became energetic and almost jumped three feet high with excitement, "I know, I'll go right away."
"Mom, Dad sent people to spoil the food outside. What are we going to eat? What good food can we have tonight? Nuannuan is starving."
Zhou Zhaonuan rested her two little hands on her chubby little face, and her two bright big eyes were full of desire for food.
Shen Nian'an was helpless, stretched out her hand and touched her little nose, and smiled.
"Don't be afraid, Mom will pick all the vegetables from the garden as soon as she comes back."
Nuan Nuan licked her tongue and immediately showed an excited expression.
"That's great, Mother. I'm going to check in the cellar."
Shen Nian'an nodded, and Zhou Zeyun looked at her sister's silly behavior. She accidentally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Silly sister, you just accept it. Mother, father has given you such a great honor, why don't you care at all, as if you know nothing."
Zhou Zeyun's tone was full of envy, but not jealousy.
After rolling his eyes, Shen Nian'an squatted down, picked up his son, and spoke earnestly.
"That's because your sister is simple-minded and doesn't know what the Imperial Sword represents at all? But Hanhan knows, so from now on, when it comes to crucial moments, Hanhan must always remind Nuannuan, understand?"
"If mother is really gone one day, mother hopes you can grow stronger and protect yourself, as well as your stupid sister."
Although people are smart, Zhou Zeyun is still a child after all. He was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
"Mother, no matter what happens in the future, no matter whether I can become the future emperor or not, my sister will always be my sister. Even if she is too stupid to get married in the future, I will support her for the rest of her life."
This sentence made Shen Nian'an laugh, and she walked outside holding Zhou Zeyun.
"It's getting late. What's coming will eventually come. Come on, let me take you to the cellar. Let's see what Nuannuan is doing and get some food to make for you."
When Zhou Beichen arrived at the cold palace, he was completely blinded by the scene in front of him. Looking at the empty cold palace, he paused at first. Since he was a tyrant, he must be irritable.
"Where is Concubine Hui? Where did she run off to? Go, check and see where Concubine Hui ran off to. Not only did she run away, she also abducted my son and daughter. This Shen Nian'an is really brave. Good, very good!!!"
He was furious. Although Deshun was not frightened, he was trembling with fear. Wang Da immediately summoned the shadow guards and searched the whole city for Shen Nian'an and others.
Deshun took small steps to search the entire cold palace, praying in his heart, "Empress Hui, please bring the two little ancestors out soon. If they don't come out, the emperor will be furious, and who knows how many people will suffer."
Just when he was feeling very uncomfortable, Deshun discovered that there seemed to be a deep pit on the ground in the backyard of the cold palace. Out of curiosity, he wanted to go over and see if Shen Nian'an and others were hiding in it. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he did, he was really surprised. Deshun almost jumped out of excitement.
"Your Majesty, I have found Concubine Hui and the two young ladies. Concubine Hui has no intention of running away. She is in the cellar in the backyard of the cold palace. They went down to get some food. Perhaps they knew Your Majesty was coming, so Concubine Hui wanted to cook for you personally to reward Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Deshun became less and less confident. He lowered his head and narrowed his eyes. Damn it! He had followed the emperor for so many years, how could he still make such a low-level mistake.
The emperor usually hates others guessing his thoughts the most. This time, he will probably be beaten with a stick even if he is not skinned alive.
Deshun knelt on the ground with a dead heart, "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty."
Zhou Beichen raised his eyebrows. He was just looking for food. Fine, he was no longer angry. He walked past Deshun calmly and said, "Okay, get up. This won't happen again."
Deshun, lying on the ground pretending to be a quail: "......"
You are sick.
Looking at Zhou Beichen's receding figure, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Oh my god, was that still the tyrant just now? How could he let him go so easily? It seems that he will have to hold on to these three thighs of the Pepper Palace more tightly from now on."
"Mom, are you making scrambled eggs with tomatoes today? Nuannuan likes scrambled eggs with tomatoes. She loves it the most."
Zhou Zhaonuan was holding a red persimmon in one of her little hands and climbing up the ladder carefully.
The cellar door.
Zhou Beichen walked forward a few steps, raised his eyes and looked down, and Zhou Zhaonuan happened to see him too.
Zhou Beichen was about to teach her a lesson, but Nuannuan pouted and took the initiative.
