I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Madam, Nian'er is just a little shy. Please bear with her." Xiao Zhu was afraid that Su Minglang would be angry, so he tried to comfort her: "She doesn't usually meet outsiders. She must be too nervous..."

Su Minglang waved her hand impatiently before she could finish her words, "This is not the first time I have met her."

After Su Minglang finished speaking, the smile on his face became even wider. Xiao Ye, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but shudder when she saw the smile on Su Minglang's face. People who were familiar with her knew that once she showed this kind of smile, someone would be in trouble.

"Being afraid of strangers is not a serious problem. It will be fine if you get more familiar with the place." Su Minglang said with a smile on her face and a gentle tone. Only those standing next to her could feel how terrible the low pressure was at that moment.

"Master..." Nanxing looked at her with some concern. Su Minglang shook her head slightly and turned her gaze to Nian'er. "Come with me or stay and fend for yourself. What's your choice?"

"But you have to think carefully. If you choose to stay, your sister Xiao Zhu will never come to see you again. You will have to rely on your own efforts for food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Su Minglang looked around with some concern and said with a somewhat compassionate tone, "It's getting colder and colder. I'm afraid it will snow in a few days. I don't know if the raccoon slaves in the palace can survive this winter without charcoal."

In the past, Nian'er could barely survive the winter with the help of Li Zhao and Xiao Zhu. But now that Su Minglang has taken over her affairs, Xiao Zhu can no longer help her, and Li Zhao is outside the palace and is powerless to help even if he wants to.

Although Nian'er is young, he is not a fool. Moreover, he has been hiding in the palace since he was a child and has become a shrewd person. How could he not hear the threat in Su Minglang's mouth?

She walked up quickly and grabbed Su Minglang's sleeve, staring at her with her big eyes. Her pitiful look would make anyone feel soft-hearted.

Su Minglang stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Put away your little tricks, they are useless to me."

"If you follow me obediently, you will definitely not lack food in the future. If you don't want to, that's fine. Lord Li will naturally not make things difficult for me."

"Nian'er is willing!" Nian'er pulled Su Minglang's sleeves with her little hands. Her soft and timid voice made people feel particularly pity for her.

Su Minglang didn't fall for her tricks, but as long as she was willing to follow him obediently, it would be fine. Using some tricks to make others feel soft-hearted was not a bad thing. At least it was much better than raising her into a little fool who knew nothing.

"Since Nian'er is willing to go back with the queen, then I am relieved." Xiao Zhu bowed to Su Minglang, looked up and saw that it was getting late, and her face became a little anxious. "I still have things to do, so I will take my leave first."

"Go ahead." Su Minglang waved her hand to signal her to do as she pleases, and the two people beside her also made way for her. Xiao Zhu looked at Nian'er worriedly and walked away in a hurry with his head down.

Su Minglang raised his head and glanced at her back, only to see that although Nian'er was tugging at his sleeve, her eyes were still on Xiao Zhu's departing back.

"It's not like you won't see me again in the future. Don't act like we're parting forever." Su Minglang laughed and wanted to pat her head out of habit. But then he remembered her disheveled face from last night and didn't know if she had washed it clean. He withdrew his outstretched hand in disappointment.

"Xiao Ye, take out all the prepared things." Su Minglang ordered. Xiao Ye took out all the things he had brought and placed them neatly on the steps of the main house. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Su Minglang.

As the oil paper packages were opened, the aroma of oil instantly filled the air. Nian'er, who had been keeping her head down and silent, slightly twitched her nose, then suddenly raised her head and stared at the paper packages.

Su Minglang glanced at her without making a fuss. He walked forward slowly and poured all the wine in the cup onto the ground. "Nian'er, come forward and kowtow to the main room."

Without waiting for Nian'er to react, Nanxing grabbed her and came to Su Minglang and pushed her down. Nian'er struggled for a while, but after realizing it was futile, she obediently kowtowed three times. However, the obvious ignorance in her eyes hurt Su Minglang's heart.

Su Minglang sighed softly, and thought helplessly: "After all, she is still a child, young and ignorant. Why should I ask her to be more hurt?"

Nian'er didn't know why she insisted on kowtowing herself, but she had no time to think about it at the moment. Her eyes were fixed on the food, as if she was just waiting for Nanxing to let go so that she could rush over and devour it.

"Are you hungry?" Su Minglang glanced at her and said helplessly, "Those things are not for you to eat. I will prepare food for you when we get there later."

Nian'er watched helplessly as the food got farther and farther away from her, but her collar was held by someone else. Even though she was extremely unwilling, she could do nothing and could only follow Su Minglang dejectedly.

The heavy door closed behind them, and Su Minglang suddenly realized whether he should give her some time to say goodbye to this environment where she had lived with for several years. He lowered his head and saw that Nian'er's eyes were still fixed on the way she came, with a hint of smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Heh!" Su Minglang sneered and walked away without looking back. The other two thought they had done something wrong when they heard their master's unreasonable sneer. They looked at each other and saw fear and innocence in each other's eyes.

"Isn't it better to kneel? You dare to move around after making a mistake! You've been slacking off for just a few days. Do you think highly of me, the Shangfu Bureau?"

A loud shout came from a distance, followed by a period of silence. Su Minglang raised her eyes and saw two figures, one standing and one kneeling, blocking her way.

Looking at the familiar figure, it was too late to avoid it.

"Xiao Ye, go ask." Su Minglang gave the order softly. Nian'er looked up to see what was going on, but saw people she was familiar with being ordered to kneel there. She became anxious for a moment, but was held tightly by Nanxing and could not move even a step.

"Empress, Empress Su! Please save Sister Xiao Zhu, Empress Su!" Nian'er grabbed Su Minglang's clothes tightly, pointed in the direction of Xiao Zhu, and was about to cry out.

Su Minglang wanted to go back in a low profile, so she naturally couldn't indulge her crying and fighting. She forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I've sent someone to ask. Just wait."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two people over there also saw her in the direction of Xiaoye. The palace maid who had scolded her quickly stepped forward and bowed hastily, but her clothes and appearance were not like those of an ordinary palace maid.
