Gu Nuo’er widened her watery eyes.

“Is there anything delicious and fun in your palace?”

Consort Lu smiled. “There’s everything. If there isn’t, I’ll send someone to bring it to you.”

The child immediately beamed with joy, her crescent-like watery eyes curved and her smile was soft.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Pretty consort, I knew it! You’re really a good person!”

The soldiers escorted the carriage to Consort Lu’s palace first.

Unexpectedly, Gu Nuo’er also jumped down.

The soldier immediately reprimanded, “Princess Yaoguang, the place you’re headed to isn’t here. Go back to the carriage!”

Before Gu Nuo’er could say anything, Consort Lu had already protected her in her arms.

Consort Lu, who had always been known for her gentleness, frowned and looked at the soldiers with deep dissatisfaction.

“This is already the second time I’ve heard you reprimand her. However, the princess is just a child and hasn’t done anything wrong. Do you still have any respect for her by treating her like this?”

The soldier did not know that he had angered Consort Lu because of this!

He quickly apologized, “This subordinate deserves to die! Your Highness, please punish me!”

Consort Lu protected Gu Nuo’er tightly, her eyes filled with sternness.

“Princess Yaoguang saved my life. I want to treat her as an esteemed guest.

“If you want to report to His Majesty, just say this. If he wants Princess Yaoguang, let him come to my Qinghe Palace!

“I’ll be taking the little princess away.”

As she spoke, she held Gu Nuo’er’s small hand tightly and walked toward her palace.

The soldier was extremely anxious.

How could this do?!

His Majesty had said that he wanted to lock this little princess up in prison!

However, he didn’t dare to disobey Consort Lu at all.

Previously, an official had badmouthed Consort Lu.

He was executed that night.

Helpless, the soldier could only quickly report this matter to Ling Tianyin.

Wei Cang had been following the carriage until it made a turn at the corner and entered the harem.

He was an external subject, so he was naturally not allowed to enter the inner palace.

However, when he saw the carriage driving in this direction, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that His Majesty had arranged for Princess Yaoguang to stay here?

He thought for a moment and felt that if that was the case, Gu Nuo’er’s safety could be guaranteed for the time being.

Therefore, he turned around and went to report to the emperor.

At the same time, there was a group of palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting at the intersection of another palace path.

They were looking at the crown prince, who was pacing back and forth in front of them.

This crown prince, who had just returned to the palace, was handsome and elegant. His every move was indescribably noble.

He had always given off a warm feeling.

This was the first time the palace servants had seen him pacing back and forth as if he was a little anxious from waiting.

At this moment, a personal guard finally ran over quickly from not far away.

Yun Linzhou was wearing an embroidered robe and a golden headgear. He was dressed gorgeously and his face was even more handsome.

He took a few steps forward and quickly asked, “How is it? Did you pick her up?”

The guard’s expression was solemn as he knelt and cupped his fists. “Your Highness, this subordinate is incompetent. I didn’t manage to receive her.”

Yun Linzhou’s expression turned cold.

“Why? Did General Zheng’s men stop you?”

“No…” The guard didn’t know how to explain and could only say truthfully, “Princess Yaoguang was taken away by Consort Lu.”

Yun Linzhou was stunned. “Consort Lu? Why would she bring Nuo’er away?”

“This subordinate got someone to ask around. I only know that the princess saved Consort Lu’s life, but I haven’t found out what exactly happened.”

Yun Linzhou didn’t say anything after hearing this, but his eyes darkened.

He knew that Gu Nuo’er had entered the palace today and had been looking forward to the moment of their reunion since early in the morning.
