As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

After the Crown Princess and the palace maids left, Xiao Guanzi and Guard Zhang brought in a palace maid, "Your Highness, someone is here."

The maid knelt slowly. Her posture was very graceful, totally unlike that of an ordinary maid. She raised her hands to her forehead and then bowed gracefully, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"

As soon as the voice came out, Xiao Guanzi's face suddenly changed. Ning Rusong glanced at the woman on the ground and calmly tapped the book on the table with his index finger, "Mei Baolin, you are really brave. If your recklessness ruins my plan, I will definitely cut you to pieces."

The words were cold, like a blade cutting across Mei Baolin's neck. Mei Baolin looked up, with a very plain face, not outstanding among the palace maids. She said seriously, "This princess came here in person because of an urgent matter!"

She didn't dare to come to the Eastern Palace with her true appearance, so she disguised herself and exchanged identities with her trusted maid.

She stood up from the ground, her voice became hurried and she was terrified. She wanted to get closer to Ning Rushong, but Guard Zhang stretched out his arm to stop her.

Mei Baolin paced a few times and said, "Emperor Jingmu is too scary. You have no idea how dangerous Guangming Palace is!"

She raised her hands to protect her neck, and said in a rising voice, "Every day I wonder if I will be the next to die. I quit. I want to leave. I want to go back to my Qi Kingdom!"

Ning Rushong's eyes were calm, and she tapped her fingers a few times. Guard Zhang stepped forward, grabbed Mei Baolin's shoulders, and kicked her knees, causing her to fall to her knees. She had been spoiled for many years, and tears immediately came out of her eyes. Her voice became shrill, "What do you mean!"

Xiao Guanzi walked up to her leisurely and slapped her in the face, "Mei Baolin, please be well."

Mei Baolin covered her face and looked at Ning Rushong angrily, only to see that there was still no expression on his handsome face, and his eyes were as cold and ruthless as a deep pool. She suddenly shuddered!

Emperor Jingmu was a cruel and brutal emperor. How could the prince who was competing with him for the throne be a good person? Mei Baolin was a bully who only feared the strong and knelt silently.

"I have already discussed this matter with your master. You cannot make the decision. Just follow my orders." Ning Rushong said in a light tone. He put a few books at hand together without even looking at Mei Baolin.

"Then..." Mei Baolin asked tremblingly, "If I follow your orders, can I save my life?"

Ning Rusong opened his mouth and said, "Maybe. That depends on how capable you are."

In the end, Mei Baolin didn't dare to ask, for fear of getting an answer that would scare her even more. The word "maybe" circulated in her mind as she was led out of Changxin Hall by Xiao Guanzi.

Guard Zhang looked towards the palace entrance with a slightly worried look on his face. "Your Highness, Mei Baolin seems to be too timid."

Ning Rushong said coldly, "She is timid and obedient. It is enough if her ability to play tricks is as outstanding as her master said."

Guard Zhang said yes, and reported another matter, "The maidservant named Li Xiaoshu beside Madam Bai has been dealt with."

Ning Rusong nodded and said, "People who are too restless always have fewer opportunities to survive than others."

Qiuyue Street was bustling with people and the sounds of hawking were constant. It was very lively. The brothels were also open and the fragrance of the girls filled the street.

There were even more people in front of Pinzhenlou. Even if they had no money, they still wanted to join in the fun. Pinzhenlou was the largest restaurant in Yuncheng with a great layout, and there was not a single servant to chase people out of the door.

The magnificent carriage stopped in front of Pinzhen Tower. The servant guarding the gate could tell the wealth and splendor of the place at a glance. He hurriedly moved a few stools to the front of the carriage and asked loudly, "Are you here to attend the literary banquet?"

The carriage was very large and magnificent, with cloud patterns and flying birds painted on it, and it was driven by two horses. The servants roughly calculated that at least six people could sit inside.

Xiao Nuan got out of the carriage, her posture was respectable and proper, and it was obvious that she was not a maid from an ordinary family. She handed over two silver notes worth 100 taels and said, "A room on the second floor, and some fine wine and food."

She frowned at the crowd and said in a low voice, "How do we get in here?"

The Crown Princess is such a noble lady, is she going to squeeze in with them? If His Highness knew about this, they would be in big trouble!

The servant who led the way held the banknotes in his hand, smiled more brilliantly than a flower, and bent his waist, "How can we get in from there? There is a specially opened door next to the restaurant, leading directly to the second floor!"

Xiao Nuan felt relieved after hearing this. She bent down and lifted the curtain, "Master, Madam Bai."

Xiao Nuan helped He Yue get off the carriage, and a maid named Zhu'er helped Xia Suling get off the carriage later.

Zhu'er was the maid carefully selected by Bai Huixian for Xia Suling. She behaved properly and knew etiquette.

The servant looked up and saw that the two noble ladies were wearing veil hats that covered their faces. This was normal. Many noble ladies who came to Pinzhen Tower wore veil hats and took them off when they arrived at the private rooms. After all, there were elegant prostitutes and some courtesans in the building, and the noble ladies were proud of their status and wanted to distinguish themselves from them.

In fact, the maids persuaded the Crown Princess and Mrs. Bai to wear the veil to hide their identities. Not many people knew the Crown Princess's appearance. However, as Lord Bai's official position rose, Mrs. Bai had become familiar to the noble ladies, and her relationship with the Crown Princess was well known. With a little guesswork, the Crown Princess's identity could be guessed.

Following He Yue and Xia Suling were not only two maids, but also two guards. The servants were specially responsible for greeting people. They realized that the two guards must be ruthless men who had seen blood. Wow! Two distinguished guests have come!
