Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Yu Niaoniao sat in the sedan chair without moving. She looked down at the willow branch and asked unhurriedly. “I want to pay my respects to Her Majesty. Is that a problem?”
Liu Zhi bowed to her before saying.
“But Her Highness has already instructed me to let you rest in the Startling Pce first. If you go somewhere else halfway, Her Highness will interrogate uster. I’m afraid we can’t bear the responsibility. I hope Your Highness can understand and not make things difficult for us.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I’ve already said that if Her Highness mes me, I’ll bear the responsibility. It has nothing to do with you.”
Liu Zhi smiled bitterly. “Although that’s the case, Her Highness has always been a woman of her word. She won’t let us off easily just because of you.”
At this point, she deliberately nced at the eunuchs in charge of carrying the sedan chair with a wary gaze.
The eunuchs shuddered at the thought of Noble Consort Shu’s methods of dealing with people.
They did not dare to take any chances and immediately carried the carriage towards the Startling Pce.
Yu Niaoniao shouted, “Stop!”
However, the eunuchs did not listen to her. The sedan did not stop for a moment.
Yu Niaoniao made up her mind and jumped up from the sedan chair to the ground.
When shended, she rolled and lost most of her strength. Her dress and the pearl hairpin on her head became messy, but she couldn’t care less. She got up and ran.
The eunuchs were shocked by her actions and stopped hurriedly. Liu Zhi looked at Yu Niaoniao’s back and said expressionlessly.
“Get her!”
Two figures darted out from the shadows. They used Qinggong and were as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, they caught up to Yu Niaoniao.
Sensing someone aDDroachinz from behind. Yu Niaoniao hurriedlv took out
the itching powder she carried with her and sprinkled it behind her.
The white powder dissipated in the air.
The two people in charge of the pursuit did not expect her to have such a move. Caught off guard, they were pped in the face by the powder.
They immediately felt an itch on their faces, and their eyes burned. They could not open them.
Yu Niaoniao took the opportunity to speed up and distance herself from them.
In a moment, she was far away.
Seeing this, Liu Zhi knew that something was wrong.
She rushed to Noble Consort Shu to report this matter.
When Noble Consort Shu found out that Yu Niaoniao had run away, she was naturally in a bad mood.
She cursed her for being useless. If she couldn’t even do such a small thing, what was the point of raising them?
However, now was not the time to pursue the matter. The most important thing was to capture Yu Niaoniao as soon as possible and not let her return to Langjun Imperial Pce safely.
Noble Consort Shu pretended to be anxious and said to Empress Dowager Deng.
“Something bad has happened. The Princess Consort of Lang County suddenly lost her mind and ran away!”
Empress Dowager Deng was very surprised. “Why would the Princess Consort of Lang County have hysteria for no reason?”
Noble Consort Shu frowned slightly and said worriedly.
“I don’t know what’s going on. Just now, the Princess Consort of Lang County said that she was not feeling well. I was worried about her health and got someone to send her to the Startling Pce to rest.”
“Unexpectedly, she suddenly started talking nonsense halfway and even shouted that someone wanted to harm her. Liu Zhi could not persuade her.”
“In the end, not only did the Princess Consort of Lang County jump out of the sedan chair and run away, but she also injured two guards before she left.”
Empress Dowager Deng frowned. “There’s actually such a thing? Where is the Princess Consort of Lang County now?”
Noble Consort Shu sighed.
“That’s the problem. The Princess Consort of Lang County has disappeared, and I don’t know where she went. I’m very worried about her safety now and want the Imperial Guards to look for her in the pce.”
“When they find her, they would send her to the Startling Pce. I must exin to her properly that I have no ill intentions towards her not to let her imagination run wild.”
Queen Mother Deng nodded.
“Yes, I know you’re being kind. You don’t have to worry about it. I ordered the Imperial Guards to look for the Princess Consort of Lang County.”
“After finding her, they would let the Imperial Physician take a good look at her. If there’s really hysteria, he has to treat it well. She can’t avoid treatment.” Noble Consort Shu agreed. “Your Highness is right.”
When Yu Niaoniao entered the Imperial Garden, Meng Xizhou was stopped outside. The reason was that all the people attending the flower appreciation banquet this time were women. In order not to offend them, all men were not allowed to enter.
Hence, Meng Xizhou could only stand outside the Imperial Garden and wait.
In the end, not long after, the news that the Princess Consort of Lang County had disappeared spread.
Meng Xizhou was extremely anxious. He wanted to ask Noble Consort Shu about it, but he did not even see Noble Consort Shu.
Liu Zhi asked him to go back first. She would send someone to inform him after finding the Princess Consort.
“Our Princess Consort is a living person. How can she disappear just like that?
Did you do something to her? Return the Princess Consort!”
Liu Zhi’s face darkened. “Watch your words. The Princess Consort of Lang County ran away on her own. It has nothing to do with us. If you talk nonsense again, don’t me us for being rude to you.”
Meng Xizhou clenched his fists.
He wanted to punch her, but logic told him that this was the pce, not the Justice Department.
If he attacked someone in the pce, not only would he not be able to find the Princess Consort of Lang County, but he might also lose himself. The gains would not make up for the losses.
He could only force himself to calm down.
Now that Duke Lang was not in the capital, it was impossible for him to deal with Noble Consort Shu alone.
The most important thing now was to find the Princess Consort of Lang County as soon as possible.
The rest could wait until Duke Lang returned.
“I said something wrong just now. I don’t mean anything else. I just want to find the Princess Consort of Lang County as soon as possible. Can you let me stay in the pce to help find her? One more person and one more power will make it faster to locate the Princess Consort of Lang County.”
Liu Zhi’s attitude was very strong. “You’re not from the pce. ording to the pce rules, you can’t stay in the pce for a long time. This is not appropriate. Please leave the pce immediately. Now that the Imperial Guards have been searching the pce, I believe they’ll find the Princess
Consort of Lang County soon. She’ll definitely be fine.”
Meng Xizhou wanted to say something else, but Liu Zhi did not want to waste her breath on him anymore. She turned around and left.
Meng Xizhou tried to chase after her, but he was stopped by two guards.
The two Imperial Guards sent Meng Xizhou out of the pce almostpulsively.
At the same time, Yu Niaoniao was running for her life.
The roads in the pce wereplicated. Fortunately, Yu Niaoniao had a photographic memory. She had memorized the route she had taken when she came. Now, she could leave the pce as long as she returned along the way.
But halfway there, she met the Imperial Guards who hade to look for her.
Yu Niaoniao thought that they could send her out of the pce and was quite happy. In the end, they wanted to send her to the Startling Pce; they insisted that she was suffering from serious hysteria and wanted to treat her. How could Yu Niaoniao agree? She took advantage of the situation and ran away again.
However, her luck was too bad. She had just escaped from the Imperial Guards when she turned around and met Wei Liao again.
Wei Liao had juste out of the Startling Pce.
He could not find any useful clues from the Startling Pce and was troubled. He did not expect to bump into Yu Niaoniao when he looked up..
