Without A'ao and the two girls, Qionghua Courtyard suddenly became deserted.

Chu Zhao had no time to grieve over spring and autumn, so he carefully considered the plan from beginning to end to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

Murong Xiao had dinner brought to him. After dinner, Chu Zhao locked the courtyard door and the room door, and practiced swordplay with wooden sticks in the room for an hour.

In the past, when Qingyu and Hongxiao were here, she and Aao would always wait for the two girls to fall asleep before practicing secretly for a while, not daring to make any big noise.

Now, she was alone in the huge yard, and she could play as she wanted.

I don't know if it was because she was more relaxed, but she danced a wooden stick so loudly that it whistled in the wind, as if there were thousands of troops galloping towards her.

In a trance, a battlefield filled with gold and silver and smoke appeared before his eyes. The female general galloped among the rebels. Wherever she went, the long sword in her hand drew bloody afterimages, like the fiery red glow of the setting sun.

"Cheng Yun, this Chixia Sword really deserves its reputation. I like it very much."

"I just found it for you because I knew you would like it."

The young general rode his horse and walked alongside her, the blue frost sword in his hand shining with cold light.

"Cheng Yun, have you noticed that Chixia and Qingshuang look very similar to each other?"

"A pair of what?"

"What a couple!"

"You're overthinking it. It's just two swords."

"You are so boring, like a piece of wood."

"Then are you still following me?"

"You mind me, I just like wood..."

Chu Zhao felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart and stopped suddenly.

The illusion in front of me disappeared, leaving only the sentence "I just like wood" lingering in my mind for a long time.

Chengyun should be the general Xiao Chi whom Qingyu and Hongxiao talked about, right?

But who is that female general?

Could it be Emperor Xihe?

Why did she suddenly think of these two people?

Such vivid pictures, such clear dialogue, everything seems to have really happened.

why?

Chu Zhao thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out the pain in his temples, so he had no choice but to give up.

In the next two days, she locked herself in Qionghua Courtyard and did not go anywhere. When the old lady learned that she and Murong Xiao had a bad temper, she was afraid that she would be angry and ignore her, so she sent two maids from Rong'an Hall to serve her.

Chu Zhao didn't refuse. The next day he took his two maids out for shopping and bought a lot of useful and useless things. He rewarded everyone he saw and kept nothing for himself.

The accountant went to see Murong Xiao again with a thick dozen bills. Instead of being angry, Murong Xiao was relieved.

Isn't that what women are like? They buy and buy when they are angry. As long as she is willing to go out and communicate with others, it means that the problem is not that serious.

"Leave her alone and let her buy it. Can she still evacuate Yunzhou City?" Murong Xiao said.

The accountant was extremely shocked.

He was shocked not because of the money, but because of the prince's attitude.

When the prince mentioned the princess before, he either raised eyebrows or showed great disgust. Now, why does he look so helpless as he indulges his little wife's mischief?

The words "little sweet wife" flashed through his mind, and the accountant himself felt so sick that he had goosebumps all over his body.

He didn't mean to look down on the princess, but the image of the princess was too far different from that of the little sweet wife.

Two more days passed without incident, and on an ordinary morning, Chu Zhao took two maids out again.

The guard had long been accustomed to the princess's frequent outings. He used to ask a few token questions, but now he let her out without even asking.

About an hour after Chu Zhao left, Murong Xiao was discussing matters with the palace staff in the council hall. The second steward suddenly came to report that Mr. Fang Guanru was outside the palace asking to see the prince and princess.

Fang Guanru?

Murong Xiao and all the staff were shocked.

The old man's temper was stinkier and tougher than the stones in the latrine. In order to win over him, Murong Xiao tried many ways to win over him, but he didn't even see his face.

What kind of evil did this guy get into today? He actually came to ask for an audience in person?

Murong Xiao somehow remembered Chu Zhao's favorite words, and immediately looked up at the sky to see where the sun was coming from.

But he immediately realized that he was inside the house, sat up straight and asked the second steward: "What is he doing here?"

"Replying to the prince, Mr. Fang Da's wife is sick, and he wants to ask the princess to come over to the palace to diagnose her illness. I have sent the message several times before, but because the princess ordered it to be suppressed, the concierge never reported it. Mr. Fang Da probably couldn't wait any longer, so he came to see him in person."

"What, you submitted the post several times?"

"Why does the princess suppress it and refuse to retaliate? Doesn't she mean to harm the prince?"

"Yeah, this is too ignorant."

"My lord, you can no longer indulge the princess."

"Relying on favor and being arrogant, relying on favor and being arrogant, this kind of woman is not worthy of being Princess Jingnan!"

All the staff could not sit still and asked Murong Xiao to severely punish Chu Zhao and not let her do anything willful again.

"Okay, stop arguing. What do you know? This is the brilliance of the princess." Murong Xiao scolded everyone with a straight face, "Some people just lead and beat them away. If you don't let them go for a few days, they will I can’t recognize my identity.”

This was the first time that the staff saw the prince favoring the princess, and they couldn't help but want to run out to see which way the sun came out today.

At this time, a middle-aged staff member named Qi Fengshan stood up and said: "Now is not the time to discuss these things. Since Fang Guanru has come to invite me in person, it is better for the prince to send him in first to meet him. Fang Guanru and his wife have known each other since they were young, and they have been together for decades through wind and rain. Zai, the deep feelings are extraordinary, if the princess can cure Mrs. Fang, why worry about not being able to take over the Fang family?"

"Yes, yes, what Brother Fengshan said is absolutely true. It is only right to meet Fang Guanru first."

"We need to get someone to invite the princess quickly. We must make an agreement with the princess in advance and tell her not to act petty again this time."

"Yes." Murong Xiao was also very excited in his heart, but he just nodded slightly calmly and ordered Qi Fengshan to greet Fang Guanru outside the mansion, while the second steward went to Qionghua Courtyard to invite the princess.

The second steward took the order and walked out. He suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, the princess went out early this morning."

"Going out? Why did she go out again?"

"How unbecoming is it for a dignified princess to run out every once in a while?"

"Isn't that right? Whoever has a mistress like her will end up running around in the streets if she continues like this."

The staff complained again.

"Shut up, she is my king's concubine, how can I allow you to criticize her at will!" Murong Xiao's face darkened in displeasure.

Everyone was startled and quickly fell silent.

"Beiyuan, take more people and go to the streets to find the princess." Murong Xiao ordered in a loud voice. It was the first time that he could not wait to see the woman.

"Yes."

Beiyuan answered outside the door and was about to leave when the guard guarding the door suddenly came in a hurry with a maid, saying that the princess was lost on the street.
