Reborn Princess
Chapter 49 His Embarrassment
"Did you ask someone to do it?" Zhou Hengyan asked.
"My child is gone, so don't even think about keeping yours!" Yang Ruowei pointed at Cao Shuyi and laughed like a madman.
"Ban Yang Ruowei to the cold palace and execute her soon." Zhou Hengyan's words were very cold.
He entered the palace for five years and accompanied her for five years, but the last sentence, "She will be executed soon," ended her life. The emperor had no feelings.
Yang Ruowei eventually fell into her own hands.
Zhou Hengyan no longer cared about the affairs of Huining Palace, he rushed to Zhou Qize's bedroom.
After leaving the bedroom and going outside the courtyard, Zhou Hengyan saw Zhou Cechen, Shen Lilan and Zhou Chao waiting outside the palace.
"You all come with me," he said.
Although Cao Shuyi was anxious, she had to force herself to calm down.
"How's the fire?" she asked.
The eunuch next to him answered, "The main hall was not burned, but the fifth prince's bedroom and study were burned."
"The palace servants are doing their best to put out the fire, don't worry, Your Majesty."
Although Cao Shuyi looked calm, her hands and feet were already cold and numb.
A big hand held her clenched little hand and pulled her forward.
Cao Shuyi felt a hint of warmth. She looked up at Zhou Hengyan's back and the hand holding hers, but at the moment, she had no time to care about this faint warmth. Her Qi Ze must not be in any danger.
When the group hurried to Renming Hall, the fire in the hall had been almost completely put out, leaving only some fire that had not been completely extinguished.
Zhou Qi Ze sat on the steps at the door with a face like a little cat, frowning for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. A eunuch stood behind him to watch over him.
"Qi Ze!" Cao Shuyi called him and almost ran to hold him in her arms.
Zhou Qi Ze frowned and buried his face in Cao Shuyi's arms.
"Mother, I am not dead." The voice was muffled and no emotion could be heard.
Zhou Hengyan felt extremely sad watching this scene, and he almost couldn't protect his child.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" Cao Shuyi let him go and turned him around to check.
Zhou Qi Ze shook his head, "No."
The eunuch behind him answered tactfully, "Fortunately, Your Highness was studying hard and reading in the study. The fire started in the bedroom. Your Highness noticed something was wrong and escaped before the fire spread, thus saving his life."
"It's okay, mother. I'm fine." Zhou Qi Ze comforted Cao Shuyi when he saw how worried she was.
After settling Zhou Qi Ze down, Zhou Hengyan saw that he was so young and was frightened again, so he asked Cao Shuyi to stay with him until he fell asleep.
But perhaps it was because Zhou Qi Ze had been accustomed to sleeping in a bedroom by himself since he was three years old, and he was very embarrassed to ask Cao Shuyi to accompany him. Only children need adults to accompany them.
Seeing his awkward look, Cao Shuyi smiled and said, "It's the Queen Mother who is frightened. Can you accompany her?"
"It's really troublesome." Zhou Qi Ze agreed reluctantly.
Zhou Hengyan didn't want to let Cao Shuyi work hard anymore at this moment. He glanced at the people in the yard and frowned. Why was Zhou Chao here too?
"Jinzhi, come with me to the side hall." Zhou Hengyan had something to discuss with him. Zhou Cechen glanced at Shen Lilan. He didn't want Zhou Chao to stay with Shen Lilan. It was dirty.
But I had to talk to Zhou Hengyan and leave.
"Guard the princess." He said to Chunhua and Qiushi. Then he glanced at Zhou Chao again as a warning.
Zhou Chao curled his lips nonchalantly.
Chunhua and Qiushi are both maids specially selected by Zhou Cechen for Shen Xilan. Their skills are among the best among all the maids.
"Wait for me." Zhou Cechen looked at Shen Lilan.
Shen Lilan: "Go quickly, Your Majesty. Don't worry about me."
……
"Can you see it clearly?" Zhou Hengyan asked Zhou Cechen.
Zhou Cechen shook his head. "According to the description of the concubine of the Jiang family, the person who tried to kill her had a red scar on the palm of his hand. She took off her mask and saw her face clearly."
Zhou Cechen handed a painting from his sleeve to Zhou Hengyan, "That person drew it."
"The princess and I checked all the palace servants and eunuchs today, and there is none."
Zhou Hengyan frowned as he looked at the painting.
"I will execute Yang Ruowei for what happened today. What do you think? After all, she is your mother's family."
"It has nothing to do with me." Zhou Cechen said in a deep voice.
"The Yang family is in the limelight right now. What will happen if I execute her Yang family members?"
"Send another one to the palace." The Yang family has always acted this way.
It has been so long since Yang Ruowei was demoted to a concubine, and no one in the Yang family has pleaded for her. To outsiders, she seems to be honest and incorruptible, but Zhou Cechen knows better than anyone that Yang Zhen doesn't care who is sent to the palace and who will be executed. He only cares that their Yang family has someone in the harem. He doesn't even care how many people it is. As long as the Yang family does not fall, the people he sends to the palace will not have a low status.
There was no need for him to waste his energy pleading for Yang Ruowei, who was reckless and spoiled, even though she was his granddaughter.
Yang Ruoxu was given the surname of the Yang family, and everyone envied her identity. She was so envious that she herself was deeply trapped in it. Finally, she fell into the muddy swamp and struggled to climb out but couldn't.
Yang Zhen can add icing on the cake for anyone with the surname Yang, but he will never help someone in need.
"I will not accept any new people into the palace. Shuyi has been wronged for too many years."
"What does the emperor want?" Zhou Cechen asked.
"Promote Yang Qian, and appease the Yang family. The Yang family can flourish again."
"Your Majesty, you have a good plan." Zhou Cechen said.
In the yard, Shen Xilan sat under the porch holding a hand warmer that Zhou Cechen had brought from somewhere, staring at the wick of a palace lantern swaying left and right in the wind.
As long as you enter the palace, something big will happen.
"Shen Lilan."
Shen Lilan looked up and saw Zhou Chao staring at her. She frowned. He was really everywhere.
"Why is Prince Huaiyuan still staying in the palace so late?"
"Zhou Cechen can stay, but I can't?" he said with a smile.
"Of course you can't stay. You are a vassal king outside the capital, and it may not be appropriate for you to stay in the palace." Shen Lilan said coldly.
Zhou Chao snorted, "He is a bastard's son, born to a concubine. Even the previous emperor didn't give him a title or make him a king. How can he be so powerful?"
Seeing Shen Xilan still staring at him with an unchanged expression, Zhou Chao felt annoyed at the sight of her pretty face.
"I heard in Western Xinjiang that my brother abused his power and forcibly married a general's daughter."
"Ms. Shen, are you willing to be his wife now?"
Shen Lilan: "It's always voluntary."
No one forced her. She was the one who accepted the imperial decree and agreed to the marriage. Just as her father said, if she didn't want to get married, the Shen family would risk their generations of family fortune to disobey the decree and find a way out for her.
Maybe it’s because the man she is going to marry is called Zhou Cechen.
Even if I don’t love you and don’t know you, I will never be angry.
"Voluntary?" Zhou Chao smiled.
"Does Miss Shen know what kind of weird and vicious person she married?"
"Ms. Shen, have you ever seen how miserable he is?"
"Has Miss Shen ever seen someone fighting for food with a dog? Has your good husband ever fought for food with a dog in my mother's palace? I will never forget that look. You say he is pitiful, but his eyes are cold and glaring at people. But who would be afraid of him? Even a dirty eunuch in my mother's palace can order him around."
Zhou Chao said this with a laugh.
"No prince or princess would want to get along with such a weird, dirty and pitiful person."
