"Your Majesty," Fu, who was guarding the door, walked into the hall and greeted the people in front of him with a bow.

"Grand Princess has already knelt outside the hall for four hours. Grand Princess is a girl and has always been pampered.

Fu tried to test the waters.

In the end, Qu Xue'er was still a princess, and didn't really suffer much. Besides her wild personality, her body wasn't as good as she thought.

When Fu saw her just now, Qu Xue'er's forehead had already started to seep out a thin layer of sweat, and his face was somewhat pale.

The Fu grew up watching the Princess Chuxue, he knew how much the Emperor dotes on her.

That was why he had taken the risk of wanting to plead on her behalf.

"Four hours. That's only half the time." Qu Yiyu said without lifting his head, "Don't bother with her, let her continue kneeling."

Fu could only leave and prepare the other things that Qu Yiyu needed.

Fu pondered. Usually, the Emperor dotes on Grand Princess.

No matter what the Princess Chuxue wanted, he would think of a way to get it for her. She had only sent some soldiers to kill the bandits, with her love for the Princess Chuxue, why would he make it so difficult for her?

Fu tidied up the messy books on the table, feeling a little confused.

It was said that accompanying a monarch and a tiger was the hardest to predict Emperor's Heart. It seemed like the Princess Chuxue wouldn't have much longer to live.

The people of the palace were the most powerful, be it servants or concubines.

From bottom to top, regardless of whether it was a lord or a servant, as long as it was something concerning the Emperor, everyone would know about it in less than half a day.

Four hours later, Fu sighed.

I reckon all the concubines and empress s know about the Emperor's corporal punishment, right?

The crown prince was engrossed in his studies, so he might not have good information, but the empress...

Even if her only daughter was punished during the confinement period, she should have a way, right?

When Fu returned to the Cheng Ming Palace, Qu Yiyu was still reviewing the imperial reports. Beside his hands, there was even a small pile of memorials that had been reviewed.

"Your majesty, it's getting cold. Let's add another set of clothes."

With that, Fu spread out the cape in his hand and covered him with it.

The sky outside was a little overcast. The strong wind blew Stone Sand onto Qu Xue'er's body, burning her skin.

The jade-like skin on his wrist was already ice-cold.

In the dark sky, a light drizzle had begun to fall.

Qu Xue'er was only wearing a very thin piece of Xia Yi's clothes, and her sleeves had just left her elbow.

The strong wind that was mixed with raindrops hit her body, causing Qu Xue'er to rub her slightly cold arms and shiver.

By the window, Qu Yiyu looked at the nearby Qu Xue'er who was shivering with cold. It was unknown what he was thinking under his stern face.

"Your majesty?" Fu spoke from behind, wanting to put in a bit more effort for Princess Chuxue.

"If she likes to kneel, then let her kneel," with that, he flung his sleeves and left with large strides.

Fu watched his back as he left, and then looked at the Grand Princess who was still struggling in the storm.

"princess, this old servant shall advise you to apologize to the Emperor.

princess, you have a noble identity and are upright and upright. With your family background, why must you hang yourself under the Godly Doctor Gu tree when you can't even decide what kind of man you want? "

Pushing the door open, Fu still walked forward to advise Qu Xue'er.

"Thank you for your good intentions, but father promised me that as long as I kneel for eight hours, father would send troops to save me.

"I have already knelt for four hours. I just need to endure for another four hours."

The thin fringe of hair in front of Qu Xue'er had already been wet and stuck to her forehead by the rain, both her temples had also been blown apart by the wind.

The current Qu Xue'er was completely different from the usual high and mighty First Snow Grand Princess that came and went without a trace.

It was much more embarrassing.

Seeing that he could not persuade her, Fu could only give up and turn back with his umbrella.

The sky quickly darkened, and the heavenly lord felt no pity. The torrential rain quickly drowned the entire world in a torrential downpour.

Qu Xue'er knelt on the floor that was flooded by the rain, her legs had already lost feeling due to numbness and coldness.

The rouge on her face had long since been washed away by the heavy rain, leaving only the icy cold rain that washed over her face again and again.

In a trance, the white figure of a month came to her side. Qu Xue'er wiped her eyes.

"Why does the princess have to waste herself like this?" A beautiful female voice came from the top of her head.

Qu Xue'er lifted her head and coincidentally looked at Mu Hanyan's fair face under the oil paper umbrella.

Mu Hanyan stretched out her hand towards her.

"Come, let me help you up. If you suffer from a cold and have caught a cold, then you will be the one feeling wronged. "

Mu Hanyan's voice was not very loud, but it just so happened that Qu Xue'er heard every word she said.

"No need," Qu Xue'er shook her head.

"father promised me that he would send troops to save Godly Doctor Gu after kneeling for four hours. I'm only missing an hour and a half."

She was very grateful towards Imperial Noble Consort Yan's help, but she wanted to save Gu Xiao even more. She wanted to marry him when she was twelve, and when she was thirteen, he entered the Imperial Palace with her help.

It had been so long, Gu Xiao, that idiot. He definitely must not get hurt, she was willing to use all his strength to save him.

Just ask him to be safe.

When Mu Hanyan received the umbrella from the servant girl, the accompanying servant girl quickly opened the umbrella and walked to Qu Xue'er's side and held it up for her.

The oil-paper umbrella had blocked most of the rain for her, causing the pain on Qu Xue'er's face to disappear and making her body feel better.

"Thank you Imperial Noble Consort."

"Wait a moment, I'll go and plead on your behalf with the Emperor. Perhaps the starting point will be the effect?"

Mu Hanyan faintly smiled at her, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Qu Xue'er involuntarily believed in her.

The girl's snow-white figure slowly walked away, only reaching the door of the hall. The bright red door was once again shut tight.

It was as Mu Hanyan had said. Not long later, the tightly shut door opened again, and this time, besides Mu Hanyan, there was also the yellow-robed Qu Yiyu.

Qu Yiyu's arm was wrapped around Mu Hanyan's, and the two of them looked very close.

"Go back and rest first. Tomorrow, we will send troops to lead you to personally rescue Godly Doctor Gu."

Hearing that, Qu Xue'er's tense face relaxed slightly, and the corner of her mouth revealed a smile.

"This son thanks father."

Qu Xue'er crawled on the ground, and when she stood up again, the door of the Cheng Ming Palace had already been shut tight.

No matter what, he could go and save her tomorrow.

Qu Xue'er struggled to stand up, but her legs were numb and her head was spinning.

The servant girl holding the umbrella supported her as she limped out of the Cheng Ming Palace, heading towards her sleeping quarters.
