The two young girls threw themselves at each other, causing a ruckus. The smile on the corners of the Fourth Prince's mouth finally relaxed, revealing a wisp of light.
His eyes became much clearer.
"What the hell have you done? Those are the people who are close to Royal Grandmother. "
"Eh …."
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Xiao Ting could only explain herself in detail.
He spread out his hands and said, "The empress dowager's health isn't good, she's dead. You can't blame me for that."
The Zhaohua covered her mouth. The fourth prince was speechless as he said, "Royal Grandmother is fine."
"That's right, if there's anything wrong with Royal Grandmother, the palace bell would have rung a long time ago."
"What?" Xiao Ting suddenly stood up, and asked in shock: "That old lady is fine, why are you looking for people to capture me everywhere, she scared me to death, I don't even have anywhere to hide …"
As she spoke, she patted her chest, seemingly relieved.
Seeing her so unconcerned, Zhaohua carefully asked: "Um, what do you plan to do?"
Xiao Ting was instantly discouraged, "I don't know either."
How could she have known that her first meeting with the empress dowager would cause such a ruckus? What a headache.
"How about, I send you out of the palace!" The naive princess suggested.
Immediately getting Xiao Ting's support.
"No." Seeing the two girls' innocent faces, the Fourth Prince's face sank, and he said: "There's no doubt that the four gates will be sealed right now. Even if you do get out, you still have your father and family, and may even implicate Imperial Concubine, and the Ninth Prince …"
"What about them?" Xiao Ting's brain was a little insufficient, what, what kind of nonsense was this?
What does it have to do with her aunt?
"Fourth brother, what about Ting'er?" Zhaohua looked at the Fourth Prince with a face full of hope.
The fourth prince thought for a moment, stood up and said, "At the moment, this is the only way."
As he spoke, he tore off the clothes on his body to make them even more tattered …
The few of them put their heads together and muttered...
"You haven't found it yet?" This Dowager doesn't believe that she can transform into a butterfly and fly out of the palace. "Search, continue searching for him!"
"Imperial Mother, please calm your anger and take care of your Phoenix Body!" The empress also gave her orders.
At this moment, just as the imperial guards arrived at a dilapidated courtyard, they heard someone shout for help from inside.
He pushed the door open and rushed inside.
Three people with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes rushed over. Their faces were covered in tears and blood.
Someone recognized two of them with sharp eyes.
It was actually the fourth prince and the Princess Zhao Hua. As for the other one, no one cared.
There were a few little people kneeling below, they were the Fourth Prince, Zhaohua and Xiao Ting.
"Royal Grandmother, everything that this grandson has said is the truth. I do not dare to lie in the slightest." The fourth prince replied while kowtowing.
His clothes were tattered and tattered, the Princess Zhao Hua followed up, "Royal Grandmother, it's all thanks to Xiao Ting. If she did not suddenly appear, that person might have killed us."
The palace went silent for a long time, but no one could correct the way she addressed Xiao Ting. The empress dowager looked at the empress, who nodded and asked, "Then do you see clearly who held you hostage?"
Zhaohua blinked her eyes that were filled with tears from fear and said, "After I return to Mother, he will cover her face, so this son will not be able to see."
"Then why did he hold you hostage?"
Zhaohua was very favoured in the palace, so she spoke up this time, "He only said that we should lead the way."
"Lead the way? "Where to?" This time, even the Emperor was interested.
"Bi … Bi Shui Xuan." When Zhaohua said this, her tone carried a sense of nervousness.
This was what Xiao Ting had told her. Otherwise, she would not have known that there was actually such a place in the imperial palace.
Who would've thought that when she said this, the people sitting in the upper seats all stood up. The emperor even immediately took his leave of the empress dowager, his hurried steps causing those who didn't know the truth to feel baffled.
Xiao Ting and the other two were even more surprised.
"Imperial Mother, you can rest assured that the Emperor will handle this matter!" The empress helped the empress dowager sit down again, her words of comfort clear.
The empress dowager seemed to be distracted by this matter, and only after hearing the empress's words did she let out a long sigh. "I didn't expect that there would still be someone who would remember her after all these years."
"Muhou, will you let the children leave?" Imperial Consort Ying Ying said.
Just as the empress dowager was about to nod her head, she heard the empress say, "Younger sister's words are correct."
"Someone come, Imperial Physician Xuan, take a look at Zhaohua and the Fourth Prince's injuries. Ninth Princess will take them down first, wait for everything in the palace to clear before you carry out the punishment."
