Traveling through time and space

"Yes, Princess, I will go right away."

Chunmei was really amazing. Soon, another Rumei appeared in front of everyone. "It's about 80% like her. No problem. The lights are dim at night. Shuanzi, just lower your head. Remember, from now on, you are Rumei, my personal Rumei."

"I understand." The imitation was so lifelike.

At the courtyard gate, they ran into Hao, Yi Hong, and Xiao Zhouzi, who were on night duty. Gu Yuanyuan gave them another order: if anyone showed up at the princess's residence, they were to be shot. Xiao Zhouzi, holding a lantern, escorted them to the back door. From a distance, Gu Yuanyuan had them extinguish the lanterns and carefully open the door. Two cars were parked there. "Princess, there's someone in the car."

"Alright, let's go straight to the palace. Remember, when you're at the palace gate, be smart. Under cover of darkness, I'll bring the people to the sedan chair myself. Your job is to block their disruptive sight."

"Yes, Princess, do you want to bring a few more people?" Chunmei asked from the side.

"No need, we're not going to start a fight. Remember, Rumei, don't leave the inner room until I return home." Gu Yuanyuan picked up Xiaoyue'er who had been by her side.

"Yes, don't worry, Princess. I will give her instructions."

Everyone here took advantage of the night and got on the car. The car was moving in the night. Gu Yuanyuan got on the car that Kuizi and the others were in because the man was in this car. "Has he woke up?"

"He hasn't woken up yet, but I can see his breathing is quite even."

"Don't worry, there are some things that this princess cannot listen to, and only the emperor can hear them. So for safety reasons, this princess fed him medicine, and he will not wake up if I feed him more medicine later." Because she was thinking about it, Su Yuanyuan felt that the car was driving very fast, and soon arrived at the brightly lit palace gate. Everyone got off the car. Gu Yuanyuan waited for them to get off, and then she ordered, "Madame Shang, go tell the sedan bearers inside that this princess has sprained her foot and cannot drive. Ask them to carry the sedan over and pick me up." Gu Yuanyuan had actually put the people into the space at this time, lifted the curtain of the car, and gave orders outside.

"Your subordinates are here to see the legitimate princess." Two people came forward to greet her.

"Who are you?" Gu Yuanyuan's face turned cold. "Didn't you hear what I ordered?"

"I, Zhao Mohan, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, greet the legitimate princess."

"Deputy Commander Zhao, my feet are not feeling well. Could you please send the sedan chair to pick me up? Or do you want me to jump over ungently with my injured feet?" Gu Yuanyuan asked.

"Princess, this has no precedent. Please don't make things difficult for your subordinates." Zhao Mohan approached the carriage, and Gu Yuanyuan saw him clearly. He was quite handsome. It was true that from ancient times to the present, all the handsome men were handed over to the country.

"Deputy Commander Zhao, can you please allow me an exception for these two? Or should you send someone to see the emperor immediately? It's because I'm frightened by the thieves in my mansion, so I'm staying in Yuanfu Palace for one night. I beg the emperor for a special pardon."

"Princess, I'm afraid this will damage your reputation in the court." Zhao Mohan's words served as a warning to Gu Yuanyuan. She had been a little willful and decided to implement the second plan. "I thank Deputy Commander Zhao. My feet are indeed uncomfortable. How about this? Move the sedan chair and carriage closer to the city gate and have them retreat ten meters. That way, fewer people will see my embarrassment."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. You will all step back ten steps and park the carriage and sedan chair at the palace gate. Please do not let the princess walk any further."

"This princess also thanks Deputy Commander Zhao." Gu Yuanyuan nodded to the people following her. They were considerate enough to block the way, so Gu Yuanyuan no longer had any concerns. Seeing that no one was facing her directly, she carefully got out of the car, pretending to have an injured foot. She really jumped over carefully, just in case there were any other eyes. "Alright, Nanny Shang, Dongmei, Rumei, let's go." Gu Yuanyuan got into the sedan chair and calmly ordered them to enter the palace. "Just carry the sedan chair to the gate of Yuanfu Palace." After releasing the person, the sedan chair was too small. She looked at the person with disdain and soon arrived at Yuanfu Palace.

"Please step back for now and let the princess go into the house by herself. Our princess is shy."

"Little Maozi, you go see Eunuch Shen in person and tell him that the princess has entered the palace and is not feeling well. Whether the emperor comes to see her or not depends on the relationship between us father and daughter." Gu Yuanyuan pretended to cry out in pain a few times.

"Yes, I'll go myself." Yulin also quickly carried the man into the palace. "Yulin, put him in the living room." Seeing Yulin's incredible speed, Gu Yuanyuan remembered that there was still something unresolved and pulled Yue'er out of the space. "Yue'er, check the rooms and the beams to see if there are any unexpected guests. A'yu, A'luan, you are responsible for the security of the entire Yuanfu Palace and the rooftops." Only faint whispers could be heard; nothing was seen anyway.

"Your servant, I greet the legitimate princess." The palace maids and eunuchs who served in Yuanfu Palace came out to pay their respects.

"The legitimate princess is here, you all should serve her well," Dongmei stepped forward. "Princess, go and rest." Gu Yuanyuan entered the inner hall, but before she could relax, the main character arrived.

"Princess, the emperor is here." Xiao Maozi was a little flustered. Gu Yuanyuan patted his shoulder and asked, "What's the big deal?"

"Little Russian, why are you so nervous? We haven't done anything bad. Go and pull that guy out." Gu Yuanyuan got up and went out to greet her father, but did not leave the palace. After all, she came in under the pretext of spraining her ankle.

"What happened?" The voice came in before my father came in.

"Yuanyuan greets father." Gu Yuanyuan stepped forward and saluted.

"Didn't you say you were injured? What happened?"

"Father, Yuanyuan misses you. Besides, her foot is really twisted. Father, let's go in and talk. Eunuch Shen, please give orders that no one is allowed to approach Yuanfu Palace, no matter in heaven or on earth." Gu Yuanyuan looked very serious, and Eunuch Shen also sensed that something really happened, and it was a big deal. He immediately stopped and made arrangements.

"But what's the matter? If it's nothing serious, you wouldn't come at this time, right?"

"Father, do you believe Yuanyuan?"

"Of course, even if everyone in the world betrayed our father, you wouldn't."

"Very well, thank you for your trust, Father. Yuanyuan will never betray your trust. Father, please follow Yuanyuan in and let her tell you the whole story."

"Who is this?"

"Father, please sit down and let Xiaomaozi and Shuanzi come in to talk." Gu Yuanyuan gave the order while Yulin stood at the door.

"Your servant greets the Emperor and the Princess."

"You two should stand up and talk. Father, this is Xiao Maozi, and this is Xiao Maozi's friend named Shuanzi."

"You look familiar. Which palace do you work for?"

"Father, please don't interrupt Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan will explain the whole incident to you clearly."

"Okay, okay, okay, Father, I won't say any more."

"When Xiao Maozi heard that his friend Xing had offended his master and was beaten to death, he came to Yuanyuan and begged for help, hoping to rescue Shuanzi. That day, Xiao Maozi got the news that Shuanzi would be sent to the underground palace. He knew where the palace was, so Yuanyuan accompanied him. Xiao Maozi's meaning was that they had cared for each other and supported each other since they were three years old. Now that Shuanzi was dead, he could fulfill his brotherly duty and bury Shuanzi so that he wouldn't become a wandering ghost. But he didn't want us to go there."

"Wait a minute, did you go to the underground palace with them?" The emperor was a little worried.

"Father, Yuanyuan felt a little upset that day, so she went with them to play." Gu Yuanyuan explained, "After we arrived, we found out that Shuanzi was not dead. There was something even more interesting. They threw another person from the car that day. Yuanyuan accidentally discovered that this person was not dead either, and there was still a trace of life. Yuanyuan had a compassionate heart and thought about whether she could save his life, so she brought him back home. But unexpectedly, he woke up this morning. It was this person on the ground. It was just what he said that scared Yuanyuan. Because of the daytime situation, Yuanyuan didn't dare to enter the palace during the day, so she had to find an excuse to bring him in at night."

"What did he say?" asked the emperor curiously.

"He said he was Feng Yan's seventeenth prince, He Chengyan."

"What else did he say?" Father stood up and asked, "Is he dead?"

"No, Yuanyuan fed him some drugs to keep him from talking nonsense," Gu Yuanyuan stood up, took a pill, gave it to Xiao Maozi, and then fed it to the person on the ground. The person on the ground quickly woke up. "Father, Yuanyuan can leave first. You can ask him carefully." Eunuch Shen arranged the outside and pushed the door open.

"You don't have to go out. You two go out first." The emperor pointed at Xiao Maozi and the other two. The people on the ground slowly opened their eyes and sat up. Gu Yuanyuan nodded, and Xiao Maozi Shuanzi walked out the door.

"Are you the Emperor of Qingyang?"

"Yes, I am the emperor, and you are Feng Yan's seventeenth prince?"

"Yes, you must let this prince go back, otherwise my father will launch a northern expedition, and Qingyang will..."

Gu Yuanyuan stood up and kicked him hard. "You still dare to threaten me at this hour? Remember, your life is in my hands." Gu Yuanyuan was not polite. "You're already poisoned, so why would you mind one more?" Gu Yuanyuan fed him another Maltesers, just to scare him.

"Then this prince will not say anything. We will all die anyway."

"You're going to die anyway, but you have to see how you die. I can cut you into pieces or have you torn apart by five horses. This princess knows many other ways to die, but I've never understood what it feels like to be neither dead nor alive, to become a human pig."

"Princess, what is a human pig?" Eunuch Shen asked tremblingly.

"Just use a knife," Gu Yuanyuan took out the dagger he carried with him and slashed the Seventeenth Prince's face and heart. "Just use a knife to cut off his arms and legs one by one, cutting him into a stick-like body. Then put him in a small jar and let him eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the jar."

"I'm not afraid. I'm a grown man. If my father knew that you killed me, he would avenge me."

"You are so naive, Seventeenth Prince. When I found you, no one was there to see you. How could your father have known that you died at my hands?"

"You are such a vicious woman."

"Yes, so, you'd better tell the truth and tell me everything you know. Maybe, I will spare your life." Gu Yuanyuan circled around him. "Why did you appear in the palace? Why did you die? Who killed you?"

Gu Yuanyuan circled around him, actually wanting to see where his hand was. She found the right spot and stepped on it, which made his face change color.

"This prince came to the Qingyang Palace to look for someone, and accidentally fell into someone's trap. Even if you didn't save me, I would still be alive. There are guards who have been protecting me secretly, so someone must have known that you brought me back."

"Really?" Gu Yuanyuan increased the strength of her footsteps.

"What I said is true. It won't be long before someone finds Princess Anle."

"Really? Your Highness is truly confident. Do you believe me? This princess can erase all traces of you from this world, so that no one can ever find you again."

"Yuanyuan, please step back first. Father has something to ask."

"You'd better answer honestly." Gu Yuanyuan took her feet away and sat back in her seat.

"Are you really Feng Yan's seventeenth prince He Chengyan? What are you doing in the Qingyang Palace?" asked the emperor.
