CHAPTER 214: CHAPTER 148: IF KILLED, THEN KILLED!

The two were immersed in the joyful enjoyment of developing Bianliao.

Just as they stepped over the threshold, they saw Qiao’er running from afar, "General! You should take the Princess somewhere else to hide for now! People have come from the palace, extremely forceful and arrogant! They say... they say they want to take the Princess to the palace for questioning!"

Qiao’er was so frightened that her dark little face turned pale!

She couldn’t understand it; aren’t the General and the Princess right in the palace? Why do those people want to arrest the Princess?

She exchanged glances with Old Lady Ye, and while she was dealing with those people, she sneaked out from the doghole...

Oh, no, the wolfhole the Princess used to escape last time.

Specifically waiting at this gate...

"Hide?" Yelyu Lie laughed, "Nuannuan, are you afraid?"

"Afraid?" Yun Chunnuan also laughed, "If I were afraid, I wouldn’t be causing trouble in the Royal Palace. Let’s go, I want to see who wants to take me for questioning."

She raised her bright little face, "Husband, if I can’t handle it, I’ll rely on you! But, I’ll make the first move, do you mind?"

There was no trace of fear in their eyes.

Yelyu Lie tightly gripped her small hand, "Madam, feel free to act tough, I am right behind you."

Qiao’er: "..."

She watched as the two figures, one large and one small, left hand in hand.

She felt utterly bewildered!

It turns out, she was the only one scared?

Good heavens, she’s going to watch the fun! Those palace goons even slapped her once!

She must seize the opportunity to hit back!

Soon, the two of them arrived at the main courtyard.

Qiao’er’s words were no exaggeration. The courtyard was surrounded inside and out by palace guards.

They thought the couple had taken the chance to hide back in the General Mansion, little did they know they just went on a stroll.

"Ah, General, you’ve kept us waiting!"

Upon seeing the two appear, that annoying sharp voice rang out from the room.

Holding a fly whisk in hand, he leisurely stepped out, placing it on his other arm.

Yun Chunnuan instantly felt a physiological discomfort.

It’s not that she didn’t like the Barbarian General’s ’ingenious designs’, but her house was dirty, and it needed a complete re-arrangement.

Yelyu Lie ignored him, his eagle-like eyes scanning the courtyard.

Realizing they were all people from the Queen’s palace, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

In his heart, that person was not only his father but also the Monarch he was loyal to.

All his life, he shed blood and sweat for Bianliao, never with a thought of rebellion.

Tonight, however, the person who always stood like a mountain in his heart was slowly crumbling.

If he couldn’t discern right from wrong and pushed the blame onto his beloved tonight, he would collapse completely, with no lingering attachment.

Fortunately, it wasn’t.

Yelyu Lie whispered in his beloved’s ear, "The Queen’s people."

Yun Chunnuan turned to look at him, sighing softly in her heart.

This fool, how much hope does he still have for his royal father?

Without his tacit consent, how would the Queen dare to storm into the General Mansion like this?

No wonder his potential mother-in-law repeatedly warned, she indeed understood how foolishly loyal and filial her son was.

Yet...

It is precisely his foolishness that makes her even more captivated, isn’t it?

She will protect him well.

From now on, no one will bully him or insult him!

"Sir, you are from the Queen’s palace, right? As I recall, she has a damaged face, shouldn’t you, as her servant, be seeking medical treatment for her rather than coming to my General Mansion? Perhaps you’ve come to the wrong place?"

The others hadn’t even broached the subject when the Little Princess attacked first.

The old eunuch’s previously arrogant expression changed instantly, "You, you, how dare you! Her Majesty the Queen’s..."

"It’s not the first time you’ve realized the Little Princess is daring." The Little Princess’s lips curled slightly, her sharp phoenix eyes now devoid of warmth, said coldly, "The Little Princess really doesn’t want to waste words with a beast. I’m tired today and wish to rest early. If there’s nothing, get out of here, don’t dirty the grounds of my General Mansion."

Her voice, still as sweet as ever, unique to the Little Princess’s tone.

Only it’s no longer soft, but piercing like the cold wind of this frigid night, stabbing one’s very bones.

The old eunuch gasped in anger, rebuking, "I’ve served in the palace for forty years, even the Prince shows respect to me, never have I seen such an insolent brat like you! Someone..."
