Mo Chuan knew that although she was smiling and smiling, she would never change the decision she made.
"Okay, you can meet him alone if you want, but I must stay outside the window. If you find anything wrong, immediately launch the 'peacock's tail'. Do you understand?" He said solemnly.
"I know." She nodded vigorously.
Chu Shaoyang was placed under house arrest in a side hall outside the Cold Palace, located in the outer city of the palace.
Although he was a relative of the royal family, he was still considered a foreign minister and could not be summoned, could not stay in the inner city, and could not enter the emperor's harem.
When Mo Chuan and Shen Ning arrived at the side hall, the sky had already darkened, and the twilight overlapped, shrouding the entire side hall.
As soon as he stepped into the palace door, a cold and damp air hit his face.
This side hall has been deserted for a long time, it is empty and desolate.
In a side room next to the main hall, a lamp was like a bean, reflecting a shadowy and slender figure on the window paper.
Although the shadow was blurred and deformed by the candlelight, Shen Ning recognized it at a glance.
That's Chu Shaoyang!
She couldn't help but pause in her footsteps. She stood on the steps at the door of the side hall, looking at the blurry figure and biting her lower lip.
The last time she saw him was at her conquest ceremony, his gloomy eyes and desolate and lonely face seemed to appear before her eyes again.
The energetic and arrogant Chu Shaoyang was gone.
He changed, becoming like a stranger she didn't recognize.
Chu Shaoyang's shadow remained motionless for a long time. He seemed to have turned into a stone statue, standing quietly in the room.
Shen Ning didn't move. She suddenly felt her heart starting to beat irregularly, her face instantly turned pale, she raised her hand to hold her chest, and her body swayed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Mo Chuan supported her, looked at her pale face, worried in his heart, and asked softly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Shen Ning closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and smiled at Mo Chuan.
"I'm fine."
She glanced at the imperial guards guarding the outside of the side hall, turned around, stepped down the steps, and walked step by step towards the wing where Chu Shaoyang was.
Mo Chuan held her hand tightly, only to feel that her fingertips became cold and trembled slightly in his palm, and his heart also tugged.
Did she make a mistake in letting her go see Chu Shaoyang
He suddenly wanted to regret it and stop.
"Ning'er, it's better not to go in."
Shen Ning looked back at him, saw the worry in his eyes, rolled her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "He is not a tiger, can he still eat me? Just wait for me here, I will go in by myself."
"No, don't go." Mo Chuan grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go.
He knows better than she who Chu Shaoyang is. He goes crazy like a tiger descending the mountain. If he hurts her, he will regret it!
He suddenly shivered intelligently, feeling more and more that he had made a wrong decision.
He shouldn't have brought her to see Chu Shaoyang!
Chu Shaoyang wanted her so strongly, and he was such a headstrong person. He was very strong in martial arts, but she didn't know any martial arts at all. Didn't he send her into the tiger's mouth
"This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place. I can't let you take risks for me. Even if there is a little bit of danger, I will never let you in!"
"No, Mo Chuan, I want to go!"
Shen Ning looked at him and said decisively.
