Mo Chuan suddenly turned around and strode away.
He was afraid that if he delayed any longer, he would really be able to kill Chu Shaoyang.
Watching the emperor's back disappear outside the palace gate, Chu Shaoyang finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is awake, Xuan and you two go in. Hey, Your Majesty, why are you alone? Where is Your Majesty?"
Su Jin walked out of Queen Mother Zhou's room and was surprised when she saw that Chu Shaoyang was the only one standing in the corridor.
"The emperor suddenly remembered that there were political matters that needed to be dealt with, and he has already rushed back to the imperial study." Chu Shaoyang lied without changing his expression.
Su Jin was not surprised and nodded: "Your Highness, please come in."
Queen Mother Zhou had just woken up, her face was not good, and her eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night.
"Grandmother, have you caught the imperial guard?" Chu Shaoyang asked impatiently as soon as he saw Empress Dowager Zhou.
"The person has been caught." Queen Mother Zhou nodded slowly.
"May I ask Grandma Huang, have you found Ning'er?" Chu Shaoyang was immediately overjoyed.
"No." Queen Mother Zhou shook her head. There was not much excitement on her face. Instead, she sighed, clapped her hands and said, "Sujin, call someone to bring the guard in."
Chu Shaoyang was confused and turned to look out the door.
"Shaoyang, if you have anything to say, please ask me in person." Empress Dowager Zhou rubbed her forehead tiredly, feeling upset.
Not long after, two guards came in escorting a man in his twenties. As soon as the man entered the room, he fell to his knees and screamed injustice.
"It's unfair, the Queen Mother. I really don't know anything in my humble position. I beg the Queen Mother to see clearly!"
Chu Shaoyang stared at the man and saw that the man was wearing a moon-white middle coat. He had an upright appearance and a tall figure. He looked like a martial arts practitioner.
He took a step forward, grabbed the man's collar, his eyes almost bursting with fire, and said angrily: "Beast, hand over my princess! If she loses a hair, I will kill you." Chop it into dog meat sauce!”
The man was trembling and said with a mournful face: "My lord, please spare my life. I am really unjust. I have never seen the princess..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Shaoyang slapped him in the face, causing his mouth to bleed.
"If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you immediately!" he shouted sternly.
The guard kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, I dare not lie, let alone deceive the Queen Mother and Your Highness. It was indeed my duty yesterday. The Queen Mother sent me to escort the Princess back to the palace. I drove the carriage to the palace gate to wait, but I suddenly got hit hard on the back of my head. My eyes went black and I fainted. When I woke up, I found that my clothes were gone and I was thrown into the corner. I was feeling puzzled, and was suddenly caught by several guards and later brought to the Queen Mother. Queen Mother, Your Highness, every word I said is true, not a single word of lies. I dare to swear on my family's lives!"
He was crying and talking, and a grown man was crying and communicating with each other.
Chu Shaoyang's face was livid, he raised his right palm, transferred his power to the palm, and slowly pressed down.
"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" He said coldly, murderous intent bursting out in his eyes.
The guard felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on his head. There was severe pain in the top of his head, and his neck bones were rattling. He was about to break. He begged: "Your Majesty, I am wronged for my humble position, I am wronged! Even if I eat the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, I will not be punished." I would never dare to take ideas from the princess..."
