The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Chapter 90 Return to the Moratti Palace

Zhou Yanhuan drove a black Rolls-Royce Phantom at high speed. After about two hours, the car slowly came to a stop in front of a magnificent, tall, and antique European-style golden gate. The gate exuded an ancient and solemn aura, as if it had witnessed countless historical moments.

Zhou Yanhuan gently rolled down the car window and leaned out. Her beautiful face was revealed in the sunlight, like a blooming flower. Upon seeing Zhou Yanhuan's face, the guards at the gate immediately bowed respectfully and addressed her as "Your Highness" in a low voice. They quickly opened the gate and let Zhou Yanhuan in.

The Moratti Palace complex comprises over 500 classically magnificent palaces of varying sizes, interconnected to form a vast architectural ensemble. Each palace showcases a unique architectural style and decorative art, highlighting the nobility and glory of the royal family. Given that the Kingdom of Yuzhou has a history of over 200 years, the Moratti Palace bears the marks of time, witnessing the rise and fall of the nation and its transformations.

Zhou Yanhuan drove the Rolls-Royce slowly into the palace grounds. After about 10 minutes, the car finally stopped in front of a palace. Zhou Yanhuan gracefully got out of the car, then casually beckoned to a man in a black suit and tossed him the car keys.

Then, she walked gracefully and confidently towards the palace, her steps steady and self-assured. Every step exuded nobility and majesty, captivating all who beheld her.

This palace is the main palace of the Moratti Palace, with a predominantly classical architectural style. Its exterior is dignified, elegant, and magnificent. The interior is exquisitely decorated, with glittering murals, sculptures, and opulent furniture throughout. The Hall of Mirrors is a highlight of the Moratti Palace, an 80-meter-long corridor with twenty enormous arched windows on one side and a wall composed of 520 amber-colored mirrors on the other. The entire space is dazzlingly illuminated, making one feel as if they have entered a dreamlike world.

This palace was merely the office and residence of the successive monarchs of Yuzhou Kingdom.

It is also the office and residence of the current Queen Sharon and her husband, Prince Carlos. It's worth noting that the current Queen Sharon is Zhou Yanhuan's grandmother.

Therefore, when Zhou Yanhuan returned to the Moratti Palace, she did not go back to her own palace to tidy herself up, but rushed here without stopping.

As soon as Zhou Yanhuan stepped inside, a young woman in a secretary's uniform greeted her. She stopped gracefully in front of Zhou Yanhuan, gave a respectful bow, and said, "Princess Catherine, you're finally back! If you hadn't returned by this evening, Her Majesty the Queen would have probably sent people to search for you throughout the country."

Zhou Yanhuan wore a polite smile and said gently to the woman, "Assistant Amy, there's no need to be so formal. Why do you say that? Would my grandmother really send someone to look for me because I didn't come back this afternoon?"

Amy then lowered her bowing gesture, a polite smile appearing on her face. She gracefully answered Zhou Yanhuan's question: "Your Highness Princess Catherine, this is what happened. Your bodyguard captain, Major Karolide, returned alone yesterday, which constitutes unauthorized absence. However, Your Highness has disappeared without a trace. Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince have been anxiously awaiting news of Your Highness since yesterday. Major Karolide has been punished for this, being placed in confinement by the Queen and the Prince. The Queen and the Prince have stated that if they do not receive news of the Princess by this afternoon or evening, they will send people out to search for her."

When Zhou Yanhuan heard that Karolide had been punished with confinement because he had made an excuse to send him away, and that Karolide had probably finished the things he had been asked to do and returned to the palace first, and then Zhou Yanhuan had not returned, he felt a little guilty and ashamed.

She smiled guiltily and asked cautiously, "Major Karolide, apart from being confined, he hasn't suffered any other physical punishment, has he? He was just following my orders, and I told him I would return to the palace myself and that he should handle the matters I assigned him first, and then we would meet at the palace. Who would have thought I would be delayed by some matters and return so late, resulting in the Major being punished? I'm so sorry!"

Amy has been the Queen's personal assistant for many years. While she wouldn't claim to know everything about the royal family, she does have some understanding. She knows that what the beloved Princess Catherine said is true.

Amy silently felt sorry for Major Karolide; he had been implicated by the princess. However, this sympathy lasted only a few seconds before Amy smiled and said to Zhou Yanhuan, "It's alright, Your Highness, it's just solitary confinement; there won't be any other punishment. You can go to Her Majesty the Queen and explain the situation; that should get Major Karolide out of confinement."

Zhou Yanhuan had come to see her grandmother anyway, so she figured she might as well take care of this matter while she was at it. So she continued, "Is Grandma in the study today? Or somewhere else? Where's Grandpa?"

When Amy asked Zhou Yanhuan, he respectfully smiled and replied, "Her Majesty the Queen is in her study handling official business today and has not gone out. The Prince went out this morning to conduct public business and is not in the palace, so only Her Majesty the Queen is in the main hall." Hearing this news, Zhou Yanhuan was secretly pleased, because it meant that he could more easily communicate with his grandmother about his eldest brother.

Zhou Yanhuan felt that her grandmother must also care about news of her eldest brother, after all, her eldest brother was her long-lost grandson and her mother's son.

Now is a good opportunity to express my concerns and thoughts to her.

Therefore, Zhou Yanhuan decided to immediately go to the study to find her grandmother and talk to her. She hoped to gain her grandmother's support and understanding so they could plan together how to leave her eldest brother a final trump card to ensure his and her sister-in-law's safety.

Before leaving China this week, Zhou Yanhuan had already obtained Chen Mingzhang's consent, so she decided to tell her grandmother and brother about the mission.

This was not a decision she made on a whim, but a choice made after careful consideration.

She carefully analyzed the pros and cons and concluded that telling her grandmother would provide an extra layer of security for her brother and sister-in-law.

Although Longcheng is a no-man's-land in H Continent, the forces there still harbor some fear of the Jade Continent Kingdom. Informing Grandma about this adds an extra layer of insurance to the mission, leaving a glimmer of hope for my brother and sister-in-law.

However, Zhou Yanhuan also understood that it was best to keep this matter known only to one person in Yuzhou. This would prevent the news from leaking and reduce the risk. Therefore, the fact that her grandfather happened to be away from home today was the perfect opportunity for Zhou Yanhuan.

Zhou Yanhuan felt she had to explain her brother's situation to her grandmother so that she could leave her brother a way out according to her plan.

So she followed Amy toward the Queen's study. Along the way, Zhou Yanhuan felt very strange, because at this time there were usually servants working in the main hall, but today there wasn't a single one in sight, only a personal assistant. It all seemed pre-arranged, which made her very suspicious.
