After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

The next day, at the Marquis of Zhaoyuan’s Mansion.

In Princess Fengyang's courtyard, it was already past noon when the maids and nannies who had been sleeping in the courtyard all night finally woke up one by one, rubbing their drowsy heads.

As soon as they opened their eyes, they looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that the door of the bridal chamber was still closed, the nanny in charge of the courtyard bravely walked over, knocked on the door gently, and called out, "Marquis, Princess." But there was silence from inside, without any movement at all.

Sensing that something was not right, the nanny in charge quickly ordered a little maid to report to the Marquis' mother.

Zhaoyuan Hou's mother was sitting on a chair in the room at this moment. She had been worried and hadn't slept all night last night, fearing that there would be more trouble in the bridal chamber.

I didn't expect that the bridal chamber was so quiet last night, without a sound at all.

It seems that her son had consummated his marriage with the princess last night. Marquis Zhaoyuan's mother finally felt relieved and only hoped that the princess would get pregnant soon and give birth to a legitimate son for the Marquisate, so as to increase the value of this Marquisate, which was gradually declining.

The Marquis of Zhaoyuan's mother was thinking about something when she saw a little maid from the princess's courtyard running over hurriedly: "Madam, something seems to have happened in the princess's room."

"What?" Zhaoyuan Hou's mother was startled and hurriedly got up and walked towards Princess Fengyang's yard.

After entering the yard, Zhaoyuan Hou's mother hurried to the door of the bridal chamber and knocked gently, but there was no movement from inside. Zhaoyuan Hou's mother had a bad feeling and knocked harder, but the room was still as silent as before.

At this moment, Zhaoyuan Hou's mother finally became anxious and didn't care about anything else. She pushed the door open with both hands.

As soon as the door was opened, Zhaoyuan Hou's mother saw her son lying on the ground. She screamed and rushed over.

"Son, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..." Zhaoyuan Hou's mother cried and shook her son hard with her hands.

Zhaoyuan Hou Li Kang, who had been lying on the ground all night, finally opened his eyes slowly after being shaken by his mother. But then, as if he remembered something, he screamed in fear: "Ghost...Ghost!"

"Son, what's wrong with you?" Zhaoyuan Hou's mother was so scared that she started crying again.

"My Lord, did you have a nightmare?" The butler helped Li Kang sit up from behind and asked cautiously.

Nightmare, could that ghost-like face be the one he dreamt of in a nightmare? Zhaoyuan Hou Li Kang felt a severe headache and could not help but put his hands on his head.

At this time, Zhaoyuan Hou's mother finally realized something was wrong and asked her son, "Son, why don't you see the princess? Where is she now?"

Princess? Li Kang finally regained consciousness after hearing this question from his mother. The scene from last night suddenly resurfaced before his eyes.

It turned out that Princess Fengyang's face had become a ghost face. No wonder the emperor married her to a marquis's family that had fallen on hard times as his second wife.

Zhaoyuan Hou Li Kang felt a little annoyed for a moment.

In fact, this is a bit unfair to Emperor Qingyuan.

When Emperor Qingyuan first saw the rash on Princess Fengyang's face, although Princess Fengyang's face was also ugly, it was not as scary as it is now.

Later on, Princess Fengyang wore a veil, so Emperor Qingyuan really didn't know that Princess Fengyang's face had become so scary.

At this time, Li Kang, who was in the bridal chamber, was asked by his mother and quickly glanced around the room. As expected, he did not see Princess Fengyang, and even her personal maid was nowhere to be seen.

"Tell me quickly, what is going on?" Li Kang said angrily to the nanny in charge of the courtyard.

"My Lord, I don't know what's going on." Seeing Li Kang getting angry, the housekeeper standing nearby knelt down hurriedly and said, "My Lord, last night the princess's maid brought each of the servants in the courtyard a bowl of sweet soup, saying it was a reward from the princess."

"I don't know what was in that sweet soup. After drinking it, the servants all fell to the ground and fell asleep. I have no idea what happened after that."

When Li Kang heard the housekeeper say this, he was even more alarmed. With the help of the housekeeper, he struggled to his feet and ordered everyone in the courtyard, "Go and search, inside and outside the courtyard, search carefully!"

Soon, a servant discovered the ladder on the wall outside and ran back to tell Zhaoyuan Hou Li Kang.

It seemed that Princess Fengyang had undoubtedly escaped. Marquis Zhaoyuan's mother hurriedly said to him, "Son, you must hurry to the palace and report to the emperor."

Since this matter concerns the princess, it must be reported to the emperor immediately. Otherwise, once the emperor investigates, the marquis's mansion will be in danger.

"Don't worry, mother. I will go to the palace to report to the emperor right away," Li Kang comforted his mother.

In the Yanghe Palace, the emperor was reviewing memorials when the chief eunuch beside him suddenly came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhaoyuan is outside requesting an audience."

Emperor Qingyuan was stunned for a moment and put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Let him in."

At the entrance of the hall, Li Kang walked in quickly, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Get up!" Emperor Qingyuan raised his hand and asked, "What brings you here today?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Fengyang escaped from...from the Marquis' Mansion last night," Li Kang said in a low voice with his head down.

"What?" Emperor Qingyuan was startled and raised his voice to ask, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, last night, Princess Fengyang first made me drink wine mixed with sleeping pills, and then, in the name of reward, she made the servants in the courtyard drink sweet soup mixed with sleeping pills. Then, she took advantage of the moment when I and the servants in the courtyard were unconscious and fell to the ground, and escaped from the mansion," Li Kang said with a bow.

"Bastard!" As soon as Emperor Qingyuan heard what Li Kang said, his face turned pale and he slammed the table.

Thinking of what Princess Fengyang had done in the palace, Emperor Qingyuan believed what Li Kang said and that Princess Fengyang could definitely do it.

I thought that after I issued the imperial decree, she would be cautious and live in peace in the Marquis' Mansion. Unexpectedly, she became even more outrageous and did something so outrageous that damaged the reputation of the royal family.

At this moment, Emperor Qingyuan was getting angrier and angrier. He looked at Marquis Zhaoyuan who was standing below, and felt that he was being unfair to him by marrying his daughter, who was so ignorant of the importance of the matter.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "You go back and send someone out to look for him first. I will also send someone out to look for him. When we find him, you can do whatever you want with him."

"Yes, I obey your command," Li Kang said with a bow.

In the Zhaoyuan Marquis's mansion, the housekeeper asked Li Kang, "My Lord, do you need to send more people out to search?"

"No need," Li Kang shook his head and continued to order: "Call back those people who were sent out."

"This..." The housekeeper was stunned and asked again: "My Lord, don't you need to look for it?"

"No need to look for her anymore," Li Kang said impatiently. When he thought of Princess Fengyang's grimace, he just hoped that she would die outside. How could he be willing to look for her anymore?
