Xiao Zhu and Xiao Guo wanted to give chase, but two pebbles flew out of nowhere and hit their pressure points, causing them to fall flat on their faces and eat a mouthful of snow.
They tried to struggle to get up, but a sharp pain in the back of their heads caused them to lose consciousness.
Zhao Shu was put down, and she glanced at Wei Tingsi, who had carried her to Hanzhang Palace. She couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.
Although it was said that she was being held, it was more like she was being wrapped in his cloak. His hands did not touch her body; the two were just close together.
"Isn't Lord Wei going back to the capital for the New Year?" she asked quietly, trying to calm her sudden panic.
Wei Tingsi spoke up, "Princess, don't worry about Uncle Fu's absence."
Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief. She had only suspected that Uncle Fu was very powerful, but she hadn't expected him to be so powerful that neither Xiao Zhu nor the other two could match him.

However, Jiang Yue knew Bi Qiao's position in the Yongwang Mansion well. She was a head maid and could not be offended. So she did not get angry, but walked silently and stopped trying to fawn over Bi Qiao.
The two passed by, and after walking a distance, Wei Tingsi came out, wrapped Zhao Shu in his cloak, and with a few leaps, they arrived at a clump of water bamboo behind the study of Hanzhang Palace and stood there.
