Zhaohua's brain was still muddled, "Father, what are you doing sitting here?"
His Majesty was angered and took a deep breath. He didn't want to talk to her, so he got up and left. He told everyone to watch them carefully and not to get up until sunrise.
Zhaohua was dumbstruck, then looked at Xiao Ting, explained to him by the palace maid who was watching over him, then finally understood what happened.
I want to cry, but have no tears. I said to myself: "I just drank a bit of wine, and joined the liveliness. Ninth Prince is too narrow-minded."
Then, she looked towards her good friend Xiao Ting, who shared life with her, "Ting'er, I feel so pitiful!"
"That's right. I've fallen into a wolf's nest. We've been tricked by that brat." Xiao Ting clenched her teeth and cursed, "Bastard, just you wait."
After the two of them woke up, they knelt for a short while, until their legs started aching. Zhaohua immediately wanted to stand up, but the palace maids by her side did not dare to stop her, so they did not dare.
He immediately knelt down for her and said, "Princess, please spare our lives. If you get up, the emperor won't let us servants go."
Zhaohua was soft-hearted. With a single glance, she saw more than twenty people looking at her from nearby, and she kneeled back dejectedly.
"Ting'er, my legs are in pain."
Xiao Ting could only look up at the sky speechlessly. Her legs were also numb.
If you keep kneeling, you'll get rheumatism later.
"According to the daily storyline, there should be heavy rain right now."
Thinking about the plots he had seen in his previous life, wasn't this how they acted?
As a matter of fact, although it was already night, it was not suitable for him to dream.
Zhaohua followed her example and looked up to the sky, but the sky was clear and there was an occasional light cloud floating past, but there was no sign of rain.
"Ting'er, I can't hold on any longer." After saying that, Princess Zhao Hua wanted to sit down again, but before her buttocks could even touch her legs, the group of servants instantly kneeled down and tried to persuade her.
The Zhaohua was speechless once again. She swore that she would never drink with the Ting'er ever again.
In truth, Xiao Ting's legs were weak as well, and she was extremely clear-headed at the moment. The pain from her knees caused her to unconsciously twist her body, wanting to move to another place, but moving made her pain even more.
After holding on for another quarter of an hour, the sky was still clear and the moon hung high in the sky. She had completely given up.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and she asked: "Zhaohua, do you know how to feign death?"
"Yes." Princess Zhao Hua's eyes lit up as she nodded. "But it's not easy to deceive royal father!"
Xiao Ting looked at the people around him and asked, "Did the Emperor say that until sunrise, I and Princess Zhao Hua are not allowed to get up?"
Everyone looked at each other for a while and nodded.
Someone carefully added, "You can't sit on your lap either." This was an order from earlier. It was clear that the Emperor understood his daughter very well.
Hearing that, Xiao Ting blinked her eyes at Zhaohua and said: "Then, I'll feign death!"
With that, Xiao Ting stretched her limbs and laid down on the platform, looking at the sky full of stars, her mood especially good.
Zhaohua also followed her example and lied down.
The people around her panicked. "Princess, the Emperor said that you …"
"This princess is already dead, I can't hear you speak."
Xiao Ting added, "If you have the ability, go and report it to the emperor!"
After that, he closed his eyes and could not get up.
Everyone looked at each other. What time was it? What status did they have? How could they dare to cause a ruckus?
Finally, someone whispered, "His Majesty's decree was to prevent the princess from getting up. It didn't say that the princess wasn't allowed to lie down."
Thus, the group fell into silence.
On this night, under the gazes of over twenty people, Xiao Ting and Zhaohua were openly lying on the roof of the imperial palace.
Not to mention what was going to happen to them in the morning, just the fact that Ninth Prince had personally led people to turn the entire Prince Rui's Palace upside down, in the end, they found the two who had 'slept' in a dry well, the Yunshi and the little gongzi Xiao.
King Rui swore to the heavens that he did not participate in this matter. In his heart, he once again believed his own conjecture that there was someone who wanted to sow discord between them. Fortunately, Yunshi was fine, otherwise this matter would be very difficult.
Ninth Prince also agreed with his words, expressing his belief in King Rui's character.
Before leaving, he once again expressed his gratitude to King Rui. If not for him discovering other people's conspiracy ahead of time, it might have caused some unnecessary misunderstandings and endangered the empire.
After the group left, the King Rui looked at the residence that was withering like an autumn wind sweeping leaves away. He forcefully punched a hole in the wall.
After tossing and turning for half the night, Ninth Prince and the rest finally returned to the palace, sending the two little fellows back to their rooms.
Thinking about what happened tonight, he sincerely admired his good friend, "alli, I say, you want to anger King Rui to death?"
For example, why did the Ninth King throw the two little fellows into the Prince Rui's Palace when he heard about Cheng Yunyi's appearance?
So he was actually waiting for King Rui here. When he received the message from Butler Mu, he was dumbfounded.
What a pit, what a pit!
Ninth Prince revealed a bland smile, "He asked for it."
"We still have to thank the wangfei and the crown prince."
"This King will naturally thank them."
"The wangfei is still in the palace. Aren't you going to pick her up?"
The Ninth Prince swept his gaze across him and said: "Why don't you pick it up for this king."
Yuchi Fenghan immediately shook her head and thought to herself: "Ever since Ninth Princess had kissed her good friend, the relationship between the two of them has become rather strange. My good friend seems to have been avoiding her."
Haha, this is going to be a good show.
"On Cheng Yunyi's side, did you send someone to watch him?" The Ninth Prince saw that he was laughing so slyly, so he asked him about the important matters.
The reason they made a ruckus again and threw Chu Yun and the others in the Prince Rui's Palace was to force Cheng Yunyi away from the Prince Rui's Palace. Only in this way would they be able to find out who else he was contacting, so that they could dig deeper and deeper.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to dodge."
Yuchi was filled with cold confidence.
"What else did you find?" Ninth Prince asked again. At that time, when they were searching for Prince Rui's Palace, he naturally would not do it himself and would only wait outside with King Rui.
In truth, he was disguised as a guard, participating in the search party as he searched for other useful clues.
"I can't hide anything from you." "There is a secret passage in the Prince Rui's Palace, I wonder where it leads to. I have already found the mechanism, I will make a trip when I have time."
"Alright, you should go rest now!"
Ninth Prince's expression was still calm, as if everything was within his expectations.
Yuchi Snow felt a chill in her heart as she muttered, "How boring."
He stood up and stretched his back before turning around and leaving.
The candlelight in the room was dim. Ninth Prince leaned against the chair, the book in his hand had not been moved for a long time, but his eyes were still fixed on it, as if there was something in the book that was hard to understand.
When the first rays of morning light shone on the land, a great drama took place in the Imperial Palace.
On the balcony lay two young girls, sleeping soundly with their arms around each other. There were also dozens of people standing around the balcony, surrounding them in a circle. They seemed to be guarding, but in reality, they were just guards.
"Isn't this Miss Xiao Liu?"
"What Miss Xiao Liu, now we're in the Ninth Princess."
"Oh, yes, why is she sleeping here? This young lady's family is truly … " The old man shook his head and sighed with a look of pity on his face.
Some sharp-eyed people noticed, "Is this old man seeing things? Why does that look like the Princess Zhao Hua? "
"Oh wow, this old man looks the same."
"What do you mean like that? Didn't you all hear the commotion last night? The entire city has been dispatched by the garrison, who knows what they are looking for?"
Someone was well-informed: "You really are sleeping soundly. I heard that Princess Zhao Hua and Ninth Prince were kidnapped by someone from Ninth Prince's Estate last night and thrown into Prince Rui's Palace. Fortunately, King Rui found them and saved them in time. What do you think these ministers are doing, not leaving even after the morning assembly?
"What?" Just to see them, but why would they sleep here? "
"I heard that they were arrested for drinking and having fun together. They even dragged down Yunshi and the young noble of the Xiao family as well, and they were punished to kneel by the Emperor."
"Kneeling?" Everyone looked towards the rooftop. Being watched by so many people yet being able to sleep like a dead pig, were these two girls kneeling in punishment?
Forgive them for being inexperienced and lacking in etiquette. Alright, they don't understand the royal family's rules at all.
There were many people here, three people in a group, five people in a group, another person was discussing, "Didn't you guys see that Xiao Guowei didn't even go to court early today?"
"He must have gone to Ninth Prince's Estate to see his son."
"However, I heard that the Xiao Guowei has raised his son here in the Ninth Prince's Estate. This is too strange."
"I heard that it was Yunshi who liked it, so I asked the Xiao family's young master to be my reading partner. Someone said that the Ninth Princess brought the young master to Ninth Prince's Estate to be raised because he was afraid that Madam Xiao would mislead others."
"This is truly a disaster coming from the heavens. Xiao Guowei should blame six girls now, so it's about time for little gongzi to get back!"
"Of course, how can a daughter have a son like Jin Gui, let alone a daughter who's married off."
"Good girl, my Good girl, where are you?"
With a summon, the Xiao Guowei that was being discussed appeared, with a look of anxiousness, he lifted his clothes and rushed up the roof.
This familiar voice woke Xiao Ting up from her dreams.
She blurrily sat up and stretched her back, causing all the ministers to avoid her.
She rubbed her eyes and scratched her messy hair before slowly raising her head. At the same time, she shouted: "Hong Shao, who is screaming outside so early in the morning?"
Everyone: "..." Do you think this is your house?
A ghost cry? That's your father.
This shout attracted the attention of the Xiao Guowei s who had just ascended the stairs and they hurriedly pushed their way and climbed up.
"Good girl, what happened to you? Why are you sleeping here? "
"Are you cold?"
"Are you hungry?"
"It's all because of daddy's fault, we shouldn't have gone to the Red Drunken House last night, I just got the news, my poor Good girl …"
Everyone was speechless, this Xiao Guowei was truly a strange beauty.
"Hmm? Father, why are you here? " Xiao Ting opened his eyes. His eyes were a little dazzled, and she immediately blocked the strand of morning light, as she asked Xiao Guowei.
