Chapter 108 Hide and Seek
Little Tangbao quietly opened the door a crack, twisted his increasingly round little body, and squeezed out of the door little by little.
“Crack—”
The door suddenly opened, and she quickly retreated with her neck shrunk and her eyes closed tightly.
It’s all her fault for eating too much recently, her belly has become as fat as a ball!
"Huh?"
The nanny who was driven to the other side of the door heard the noise and stretched her neck to look over here.
"Didn't the little princess need to go to the bathroom? Why is the door open?"
"Yeah... Let's go take a look. If the princess accidentally catches a cold, we'll inevitably be punished!"
The four of them looked at each other, nodded, and tiptoed towards the room where Tang Bao was.
The leading nanny quietly pushed open the door and suddenly heard a sharp explosion: "Gone! Princess Zhaoning is gone!!"
Upon hearing that the little ancestor was missing, Eunuch Pei An rushed over crawling.
He led his men to search the room inside and out, even lifting up the toilet and shaking it a few times... but they couldn't find the little princess.
He stood in the empty room, turned around a few times, and trembled with fear.
"Why are you all looking at our house?"
"If you can't even take care of a mere three-year-old baby, what are you guys doing in the palace?!"
Everyone was silent, just lowering their heads.
Pei An's eyes widened with anger, "Just standing there, just standing there... why don't you go find it quickly!?"
He roared in such a shrill voice that everyone woke up as if from a dream. They responded with "Oh oh oh" and quickly ran in all directions like birds and beasts.
Suddenly, there was silence all around, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.
Pei An wiped his eyes and said, "It's over. I'm afraid I'm going to get a beating!"
Why did he have to go pick up the little princess? Why was his life so miserable?
Pei An sniffed, flicked his whisk, and hurried to look for someone!
Any compensation we can get is better than nothing!
Inside the house...
Little Tangbao leaned his little body tightly against the door panel, holding his breath, covering his chest with his left hand, holding the evil ghost with his right hand, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Tang Bao was scared to death!
This ghost blindfold is really useful!
If she could raise a powerful ghost, wouldn't she... not have to worry about learning the invisibility technique that requires ten thousand merit points?
She is so smart!
The little girl didn't know how to count very well. In her eyes, ten thousand was already a lot. It was a number of merit points that she had never accumulated in the merit book in her mind.
So one hundred thousand is an astronomical figure for her!
While Xiao Tangbao was secretly feeling proud of herself, the evil ghost that she was holding by the neck was almost scared to death.
It was a close call. He almost lost his soul when the living devil exerted force just now!
She is too dangerous!
The little fellow walked out of the room and went to the center of the palace corridor. Seeing that no one saw him, he flanked his two short legs and ran away.
It was impossible for her to leave the palace. She had small legs and could not run too far. Besides, what if she scared her great-grandmother and Aunt Yao?
She just wanted to annoy the emperor and didn't want her great-grandmother and the others to worry.
Seeing that it was getting darker, Xiao Tangbao ran and ran, and finally went to Concubine Xiao's Qixiang Palace.
She didn't think Qixiang Palace was that great, nor did she think Concubine Xiao liked her...
However, in this huge imperial palace, she was only slightly familiar with Shoukang Palace, Chenji Hall, and Qixiang Palace.
She has nowhere to go!
…
After strolling around Qixiang Palace for a while, little Tangbao found a room without lights and hid in it.
She had just made up her mind to sleep quietly here for one night and leave tomorrow morning... when she heard footsteps outside the door.
The little guy panicked instantly, walked around the room at a loss, and hurriedly hid in the cupboard.
The dark room was soon lit up by candlelight, and the warm yellow light immediately made everything in the room clear.
The confined Concubine Xiao was dressed in bright clothes but had a sad face. She was supported by someone and sat down beside the couch.
"Is that dead girl Yuntang really missing?" She snorted softly, murderous intent in her eyes.
The female official who brought the news lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered the gates of all palaces to be sealed. I saw with my own eyes that all the imperial guards and internal guards were dispatched to secretly search for Princess Zhaoning."
"..." Concubine Xiao gritted her teeth, "Give orders to our people to search for Yuntang as well. Once they find that little bastard... kill him!"
Kill, kill?
The female official who reported the news shuddered noticeably: "But..."
"But what?" Concubine Xiao frowned, grabbed the blue and white porcelain teacup at hand and threw it at the female official.
The hot tea splashed on my face and instantly burned my face red.
The female official groaned in pain, not daring to wipe or cover her face.
"How dare you hesitate to obey my orders?"
"You dog slave are so bold that you forget how you climbed up once you got to that height. If it weren't for me, you would probably still be cleaning the toilet now!" Concubine Xiao's tone was cold and she was obviously angry.
Her eyes were filled with anger, and every word she spoke was gnashed with anger: "Not only will this concubine take advantage of the chaos in the palace to kill that evil creature, this concubine also wants to see Minister Jiang Zhong as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Jiang Zhong?
Jiang Tongshu's father?
Wasn’t Jiang Tongshu just thrown into death row for committing adultery with the third prince’s wife?
Right now, others are trying to avoid the Jiang and Wei families, so why is the imperial concubine so anxious to see Jiang Zhong at this time?
The female official didn't dare to ask any more questions and kowtowed heavily, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to handle it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly retreated, leaving only Nanny Chen and Concubine Xiao in the room.
The door creaked shut and Concubine Xiao's body softened. Nanny Chen quickly handed her another cup of hot tea.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Not to mention that the Shangshu has made great contributions to His Majesty's stable throne, our Shangshu once saved the Emperor's life. The Prince Consort will be fine!"
"He's alright? He castrated himself, how can he be alright?"
"You said this kid too. How could he be so desperate and cruel to himself just for a mere woman?"
Concubine Xiao's tears trickled down her cheeks as she pounded her chest. "There are so many women in this world. Ma'am, why does he have to be so obsessed with that bitch Wei?"
"Madame Chen, go and ask again if the Emperor has found a royal physician to treat him?"
“…”
Little Tangbao in the cupboard was confused and kept scratching his head with his little hands.
Looking through the crack at the heartbroken Concubine Xiao, she kept wondering...
Second uncle and third aunt teamed up to bully third uncle. Shouldn't the imperial concubine feel sorry for third uncle?
But why is she so worried about her second uncle?
Besides, didn’t the emperor forbid her to see anyone? How dare she disobey the imperial order?
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and Concubine Xiao and Nanny Chen stood up suddenly: "Who?"
