Just as the two of them were about to reach the city gate...
Grandma Chen lowered her head, but could not hide the joy of victory on her face.
Overcome with excitement, she gripped Ning Shanyue's arm tighter and tighter, as if she wanted to break it.
The force was so great that Ning Shanyue couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Mother-in-law."
Grandma Chen quickly let go, "We can escape right away."
joke.
Even a fool knows that it must not fall into the hands of the Regent; to fall into the hands of the Regent is to commit suicide!
As for Xiao Tang, the woman she's looking for, there will always be a chance to meet her again.
They thought that was the end of it.
However……
The guards suddenly drew their long swords and held them to their necks, preventing them from leaving.
Ning Shanyue, having seen much of the world, remained unfazed, putting on an act, and said, "Oh dear, what are you doing?"
She gently and innocently helped Granny Chen up, glaring angrily at the guards.
Granny Chen immediately saw through Ning Shanyue's intentions. She plopped down on the ground, pretending to be pushed over, and cried out, "Oh my god, you're bullying an old woman like me! You officials are so unreasonable!"
She pounded the ground hard, crying even louder and more painfully: "Waaaaah, it hurts so much."
Seeing how convincing her mother-in-law's acting was, Ning Shanyue was truly dumbfounded.
His explosive acting skills truly deserve a thumbs up.
Ning Shanyue nervously tugged at Granny Chen's sleeve and whispered, "Granny, let's take it easy."
After all, he's quite old.
Don't exhaust all your strength, or you'll have nothing left.
Grandma Chen cried and complained, her hands still moving, as she forcefully shook off Ning Shanyue's hand.
Pedestrians stopped to watch, all eager to see their performance.
Just as Granny Chen was about to showcase some more of her acting talent...
A pair of simple embroidered shoes appeared before my eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is the plain blue hem of the dress.
These plain robes are clearly men's clothing...
Looking up from the blue brocade robe, I saw a stunningly beautiful face.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like stars, and her lips like vermilion.
A mocking smile played on her exquisite face as she looked at Granny Chen, who was squatting on the ground, crying and shouting.
That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a fool.
This sight left Granny Chen with mixed feelings.
"princess……"
It turned out to be Xiao Tang.
Granny Chen swallowed hard, then smiled stiffly at Xiao Tang and said, "Your Highness has arrived. I'm just... just taking a casual stroll, hehe."
Xiao Tang crossed her arms and hummed softly twice.
She caught up with us on horseback.
Fortunately.
The guards knew they had to stop the two of them, otherwise she would have to chase them out of the capital.
"Grandma Chen, judging from your posture, it seems you're trying to escape? What, have you forgotten the contract you signed with me?"
"No...I haven't forgotten, how could I dare..."
"Your Highness, is this someone you know?" The guard asked, slightly suspicious as he saw the two talking.
Xiao Tang chased after him from the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Because he was in a hurry, he didn't have the mood to change his clothes, so he simply wore the men's clothing and tore off his disguise mask.
She instructed the guards, "This old woman is a friend of mine. Take her to the Regent's Palace. I have something to ask her."
Upon hearing that she was to be taken to the Regent's Palace, Granny Chen was far from calm.
She struggled to break free from the guards' grip.
"No, I'm not going! Let me go!"
Going to the Regent's Palace would be suicide.
She's not that stupid!
Seeing how fiercely she was struggling, Xiao Tang narrowed his eyes slightly. "Very well, let's take her to the Imperial Preceptor's residence."
It's best not to let this old woman get too worked up.
After all, they hadn't received the medicinal herbs yet.
Once she gets it, she can do whatever she wants and act crazy, it doesn't matter.
Upon hearing that she was going to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Granny Chen was naturally relieved.
She breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
Ning Shanyue was even less likely to resist.
After all, her own brother was still in the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
With her brother protecting her, how could she be afraid of Xiao Tang?
Without questioning, the guards gave their companions a few glances, and the group immediately escorted the two men to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
The Regent's Palace at this time.
Yan Jiu reported the news from the city gate to Di Jingling.
As he finished speaking, he still carefully scanned the man's face.
"I wonder if the princess's poison has been cured..."
"Your Highness, do you think it's because the Princess Consort gets angry whenever she sees you that she has feelings for you?"
Yan Jiu knew what his prince was troubled about lately.
The prince has already confessed his feelings.
But it seems the princess... refused?
This...this...this really made him shudder.
He couldn't believe it; why was the Regent so calm, as if he didn't care at all?
Emperor Jingling closed the folded document in his hand.
"Let's go and take a look at the Imperial Preceptor's residence."
I see.
No wonder the prince couldn't possibly remain calm.
They've been itching to get started for a long time, haven't they?
...
"Your Highness, you...you really cured this love-killing curse?" Granny Chen, kneeling on the ground, could only feign weakness because of the guards behind her.
He lay prone on the ground, occasionally glancing up at Xiao Tang.
He observed Xiao Tang's expression.
Granny Chen suddenly couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking.
Judging from Xiao Tang's nonchalant expression, she could vaguely guess that it probably wouldn't affect her in the slightest.
The Love-Killing Curse was useless against her?
Could it be that this person's body is truly immune to all poisons?
