The Queen's Road of the Little Palace Maid - Chapter 34

Chapter 34

The feeling of loneliness, depression, darkness, and suffocation couldn’t escape. Liu Zhen’er’s brows became tighter and tighter, and her tight body seemed to be struggling with something.

Zhao Yongze, who caressed Zhen’er’s brows, simply lay down next to Liu Zhen’er, half-armed Liu Zhen’er, stroking her back awkwardly: “Jin’er is not afraid, it’s okay, it will be okay in the future…”

“Don’t be afraid…” A dim and warm voice sounded around, and there was still darkness around him, but it was no longer terrible, and instead gave birth to a gentle sense of security.

Yes, there is nothing terrible, Liu Zhener, who was in a daze, thought subconsciously, her body gradually relaxed.

Zhao Yongze’s voice became quieter again, and his movements were soft like feathers, until Zhen’er’s brows were completely stretched before she stopped.

Zhen’er has fallen asleep very peacefully, but Zhao Yongze is unwilling to get up, and he does not want to let go of the hand stroking Zhen’er’s back. Like a dragon guarding the only treasure, looking at Zhen’er’s sleeping face, he didn’t want to look away.

The sun gradually rose, and the warm light spilled all over the hall.

When Liu Zhener woke up, she was very energetic. She was about to get up, only to find that she was being held. It was a force that would not make her uncomfortable, but could not easily break free.

Liu Zhen’er charged her hands and raised her head abruptly, she wanted to see who dared to imprison her in this manner.

What caught the eye was a face that was familiar and could no longer be familiar. Normally, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was a faint black circle around him, and his handsome face was also pale and tired.

Your Highness, what’s wrong? As Liu Zhener thought, the memories of last night suddenly gathered.

In the gloomy Ci’an Palace, the empress dowager pressed on step by step, killing her with awe-inspiring intent, leaving her with no resistance; when she thought her life was about to end, her highness came over. After getting alive, what did she do…?

Liu Zhener covered her face and didn’t want to think deeply, but her sober mind replayed the past night again and again.

After escaping from the dead, she had a nervous breakdown, and her usual sanity had long since disappeared without a trace, showing her weakness to the fullest.

She was emotional last night, not only uttering the thoughts of “great rebelliousness” hidden in her heart, she also blamed all the mistakes on His Highness very radically, and what she said hurt others and hurt herself.

Thinking of what she said last night, Liu Zhener still feels a little bit ashamed. It is true that the empress dowager should be resentful, but to say those words of her Royal Highness is really contrary to her intentions.

Yes! She was jealous because she awakened her Highness; but if there was no His Highness, what would happen to her? Be blamed in public! Disgraced! Become an object of humiliation for everyone in Ci’an Palace.

His Royal Highness was punished several times for confronting her with the Queen Mother, but what she said last night was indeed too harsh.

Liu Zhener sorted out her emotions, and then relaxed her stored hands. For fear of affecting her highness’s rest, she tried her best to stay still.

How did you come back last night? Liu Zhener started thinking again. She and her Highness were punished to kneel in the main hall of the Ci’an Palace. She was exhausted physically and mentally. After she vented her hurtful words on His Highness, His Highness also said a lot.

What did your Highness say? Liu Zhener thought desperately, but couldn’t remember, so she let go. Maybe she had fallen asleep in a daze at that time.

How did she come back? Why did the empress dowager let her go? Your Royal Highness’s face is pale, is it because he was punished for this? Liu Zhener’s mind is still full of questions, but her heart is getting softer and softer.

As time passed, Liu Zhener felt a little hungry. You must know that she hasn’t eaten since yesterday afternoon. She moved slightly, trying to get up without disturbing her Highness.

The idea is beautiful, but as soon as he moved, he was tightly held in his arms by the hands of His Highness.

“Eh…” Liu Zhen’er was shocked when her head hit His Highness’s body, and then she shut up quickly.

However, His Highness still opened his eyes. The deep eyes in the past seemed a little confused because he just woke up. However, the moment he saw Liu Zhen’er, it was filled with stars again, and he satisfied Liu Zhen’er and rubbed his chest a few times.

“His Royal Highness!” Does this treat me as a pillow? Liu Zhener was full of black lines.

Not dreaming? ! Zhao Yongze’s body suddenly stiffened.

“Ah…Aha, I was confused just now, don’t take it to heart.” Zhao Yongze laughed dryly.

Liu Zhen’er rolled her eyes: “Of course I know that I was confused. Your Highness, can you let it go now?”

Zhao Yongze was reluctant to give up, but his actions were exceptionally gentle, so he took it back and put it in the proper place honestly. If it was the past, he would just mess around and gag around, but after listening to Zhen’er last night, he decided to seriously think about the distance between him and Zhen’er.

In Zhao Yongze’s heart, he and Zhen’er are the closest people, no matter how close they are, but in Zhen’er’s heart, they are just people who have only met for a few months, and there is still a gap in identity. Sometimes his intimacy is a burden for Zhen’er. In the future, he will have to take control.

‘Gu…, Gu…’ The sound of her stomach made Liu Zhen’er’s face flushed.

Zhao Yongze was a little upset about his negligence, and immediately said: “Jin’er, are you hungry? I’ll order a meal.”

The imperial dining room is always preparing meals. After Liu Zhen’er and Zhao Yongze wash up, the meals are ready.

After a meal, Liu Zhener’s body seemed to come back to life.

“His Royal Highness, how did I come back yesterday?” When she arrived in the study, Liu Zhener asked the question in her mind: “What did the empress dowager say?”

Zhao Yongze’s hand paused for a moment: “I told the emperor about your discovery of the seed cultivation method. If you have contributed to the court, the emperor’s grandmother will naturally not be embarrassed anymore.”

In the past, Zhao Yongze was afraid that Zhen’er was afraid of him, so he dared not say about his rebirth; now, before Zhen’er accepts his feelings, he will not say it, he knows that it is a burden for Zhen’er.

“I can’t guarantee that the seed thing will happen.” Liu Zhener was a little anxious: “If it doesn’t happen, don’t you have no credibility before your Majesty?”

Zhao Yongze smiled and comforted Zhen’er: “It’s okay, I believe it will be done. Tomorrow we will go to Huangzhuang and try to plant together.”

“His Royal Highness is going to Huangzhuang, aren’t you going to Wenhua Palace?” Liu Zhener was even more worried, for fear that she would be punished to Huangzhuang because she violated the Queen Mother last night.

Zhao Yongze explained quietly: “Now the teachers are busy with disaster prevention. There is not much time to go to the Wenhua Palace. I went there. Most of the time I taught myself. The matter of seeds is even more important for the disaster prevention plan from the imperial court. It’s the most important thing. We can’t do anything else, we can work on the seeds.”

Therefore, going to Huangzhuang is entirely because His Highness wants to go. After Liu Zhen’er relaxed in her heart, she became happy again. After all, she prefers a freer imperial estate to the imperial palace.

“Bring more clothes this time. You can live in the imperial residence for a few days.” Zhao Yongze looked at Liu Zhener’s cheerful expression and couldn’t help but speak.

Liu Zhener smiled immediately.

“His Royal Highness, the female officer of the Longevity Palace brought Roche over.” When the atmosphere was right, Laifu came in and told her.

The scene froze all at once, Zhao Yongze and Liu Zhen’er looked very bad.

“Bring them in.” Zhao Yongze’s voice was full of coldness.

Soon, the female officer came in to salute, and Roche was pushed in by several waiters behind her.

“The empress dowager said that this Roche acted upside down, and spoke nonsense, for fear of serious illness. Order the servants to be sent to the Longevity Palace, so that she can recover from the illness at ease.” The female officer conveyed the meaning of the empress dowager after the salute.

The atmosphere of the Longevity Palace suddenly loosened a lot, and the corner of Zhao Yongze’s mouth evoked a perfect arc: “Grandson thanked the emperor and grandmother for consideration.”

“I’m not sick, Your Highness I’m not sick, Your Highness I do everything for your own good!” Roche shouted immediately after hearing this, and at this time she could no longer take care of face.

Zhao Yongze sneered and said directly: “You violated the Longevity Palace prohibition and escaped privately. It is a felony! It is a capital crime to instigate the relationship between heaven and the family! You slander this palace…”

“His Royal Highness, I really did it for you! You are my breast, can I harm you?” Roche kept kowtow: “Your Highness Mingjian!”

Zhao Yongze smiled and looked down at the person who couldn’t help kowtow: “Don’t worry, we will count the charges one by one.”

“Fleeing without permission, how should I be punished?” Zhao Yongze asked seemingly incomprehensible.

Lai Fu Gongsheng replied: “The heavy one will be killed with a rod, and the light one will be killed with a rod for sixty.”

“Then execute punishment.” Zhao Yongze wrote lightly.

Roche struggled hard, trying to get rid of the eunuch who had captured her: “His Royal Highness, you can’t punish me like this, I am your nanny, and I represent your face!”

“The grandmother in this palace is recuperating, you dare to pretend to be her, the best thing.” Zhao Yongze looked at Luo Che’s eyes full of sarcasm.

“No! I am…” Before Luo’s words were finished, he was gagged and dragged outside to execute his sentence in front of everyone.

Next, there was a muffled sound of sticks and meat, which made the scalp numb.

“Jin’er, are you afraid?” Zhao Yongze noticed the changes in Zhen’er’s expression. He knows Zhen’er’s character, but has to adapt to some things. She will be his prince, princess or even queen in the future, these things must be learned.

Zhao Yongze rejected the empress dowager’s proposal to teach Zhen’er, and made up his mind to teach her to adapt.

Liu Zhener reluctantly pulled out a smile: “I’m not afraid.”

She was indeed not afraid, but she was a little uncomfortable, but when she thought that the person outside was the one who nearly killed her, she felt that she was unhappy with retribution.

“His Royal Highness, the execution is complete.” Laifu came in to report, and there was more fear in his voice.

Zhao Yongze made sure that Zhen’er was fine, then turned his head, “Isn’t he dead?”

“Back to Your Highness, no.”

Zhao Yongze waved his hand: “Then give her some medicine to raise her, and when she is raised, she will be punished for the second crime.”

As soon as these words fell, people inside and outside the hall felt a chill in their hearts.
