The ground gradually started to get hot!
She had a sad face and subconsciously wanted to whimper, but suddenly she remembered that there was no family member by her side to comfort her.
Zhizhi wanted to cry but had no tears.
Why hasn't Xiaohong come to see her yet?
"Xiaohong, Xiaohong..."

Regent Nie Rong worked hard until midnight and got up early in the morning when the sun was already high in the sky.
The servant Qing'an brought breakfast from the kitchen, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Nie Rong calmly filled his stomach and then asked,
"Why do you look so sad?"
Qing An quickly stepped forward to report, "Your Highness, the maid from the side yard came to report that their mistress is missing. I'm afraid something happened."
"And..." Qing'an hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it.
Nie Rong frowned and scolded, "Speak!"
He couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He had been busy all day last night, and now he had to deal with these insignificant little things this morning.
The mansion is so small, just send a few more people to look for it.
Qing An quickly replied, "Just now when I went to the kitchen, I met a maid from the side yard coming to get some fruit. I happened to see her giving money in exchange. Logically, this should have been the side yard's share."
It was common to give money in exchange for food in the palace, but it was not the case for Zhizhi, a concubine.
The person in charge of the kitchen was obviously targeted.
Qing'an happened to see it, and couldn't bear it, so he reported it together.
Nie Rong rubbed his temples and waved his hand,
"Send a few people out to look for it, and deliver something to the side yard."
After saying this, he ordered a carriage to rush to the palace.
As the regent, Nie Rong had great connections and held great power.
The current emperor is incompetent and even relies too much on his relatives.
Nie Rong was the emperor's nephew and the only legitimate son of the late crown prince.
The battle for the throne was fierce at that time. Nie Rong was still young and had been dormant for many years. He returned and became the regent in one fell swoop.
He was able to do this thanks to the fact that he hid his identity when he was young and fled to the frontier alone, growing from an unknown soldier to a one-of-a-kind military marshal.
With the military power in his hands, the emperor did not dare to say anything, and even gave the position of regent to Nie Rong.
As a result, all the civil and military officials in the court dared not speak.
Nie Rong naturally took sole power.
However, the emperor was too stupid. Not only did he drink all night last night, he also accidentally killed a concubine.
The concubine's family was a second-rank official, so even the emperor had to be cautious about punishing her.
The emperor, who was afraid to take responsibility, howled and dragged Nie Rong into the matter, hoping that Nie Rong could protect him.
So Nie Rong, who had finally finished dealing with the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, rushed to deal with this mess.
He had no idea that Zhizhi, feeling greatly wronged, was making a fuss.
The little trouble maker has endless tricks to do.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she glared at the aggressive guard. "What do you mean? Not only does the prince dislike me, but you're also bullying me?"
