About two-quarters of an hour passed before Ruoyan ran over panting in the anticipation of everyone.

"Where have you been?" There was already a coldness in the princess's words.

"Slave... This slave was deceived by others. I couldn't find my masters. Those people lied to me and said I had seen several masters. Slave..." Ruoyan seemed to be frightened and said intermittently.

"Princess, I'll ask you this later. Get in the carriage quickly!" Wei Ning'er pulled the princess onto the carriage.

Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wei Ning'er with some gratitude, but Wei Ning'er shook her head slightly and motioned for her to follow quickly.

Everyone probably knew that they would be punished if they returned to the palace, so no one spoke a word along the way, even the always lively and lovely princess was silent.

The depressing atmosphere made Ruoyan a little breathless.

She couldn't help but blame herself for forgetting the time.

Originally, after she was separated from everyone, she wanted to find someone, but she accidentally saw the housekeeper in the mansion.

Ruoyan followed her. After entering the palace for more than three years, she suddenly saw the housekeeper, and her longing for Amma's mother suddenly burst out in her heart.

Now that she was a palace maid, Ama and her mother must be ashamed of her and didn't want to see her, but she couldn't help but followed the housekeeper back to the house.

To Ruoyan's surprise, E Niang hugged her when she saw her and burst into tears. Amma, who had always been cheerful, actually had tears in her eyes.

Before leaving, E Niang told her not to worry. In the past three years, they had been thinking of ways to get her out of the palace. They had always disliked being an official, and Amma, who was just getting along, turned out to be focused on the yamen.

In order to achieve meritorious service, he asked the emperor for a favor to let his daughter out of the palace.

And her uncle, who had always been upright, actually got very close to various officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and secretly gave them a lot of benefits, hoping that Ruoyan could live a better life in the palace.

Ruoyan has known since she was a child that she is the most beloved child of Amma and Eniang, but since she became a palace maid, she no longer hopes for it.

But today the mother-in-law told her that she had always been their favorite child and daughter, and this had never changed whether she was the mother-in-law or a palace maid.

At that moment, Ruoyan swore in his heart that he would never let his elderly Ama and E Niang worry about her or run around for her, and he would never let her uncle, who regarded her as his own, disappoint.

Just because he stayed in the house for too long, by the time Ruoyan woke up, it was already too late.

But to Ruoyan's surprise, she came to the overpass with a glimmer of hope, only to find that everyone was still waiting for her, but she also understood that returning to the palace this time would be a disaster.

The eunuch Xiao Xiazi drove the carriage and rushed to the palace. When he arrived at Xihua Gate, the garrison time had passed and the palace door was locked.

"Brother, the palace door is locked!" Xiao Xiazi's slightly anxious voice came from outside the carriage.

"Xiaoxiazi, knock on the door!" the princess said solemnly.

"Yes!" Xiao Xiazi said tremblingly.

The eldest brother and Balzhuer also got off the carriage immediately, and Wei Ning'er and Ruoyan also helped the princess get out.

Xiao Xiazi looked at the high palace door. His raised hand was shaking more and more violently, but he didn't dare to knock it down. When he turned around, he saw the princess and the eldest brother staring at him coldly. He was heartbroken.

, and was about to knock on it. At this moment, there was a "creak..." sound, and the originally closed palace door slowly opened.

"Master, it's open, it's open!" Xiao Xiazi shouted, sweating profusely.

The princess and the eldest brother also laughed.

"Get in the carriage quickly, don't let the guards guarding the door see you!" the eldest brother said to the princess.

"Okay, Ning'er, come quickly!" The princess pulled Wei Ning'er and was about to get on the carriage, but she pulled a few times but Wei Ning'er didn't move, so she turned around and was about to speak to urge her, but she suddenly froze.

Inside the wide-open palace gate, the lights were brightly lit, and numerous guards stood holding torches, and in the middle of them, a bright yellow figure stood out.

"Huang...Huang Ama..." the princess said tremblingly.

"He Jing, Yong Huang, you are so brave!" A majestic voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"Emperor...emperor's grandmother!" Princess He Jing then saw the Queen Mother beside the emperor, her legs trembled and she knelt down.

Growing up, the imperial grandmother would only call her Hejing when she was giving a reward in front of everyone. Normally, she would call her Lili, but at this time, she understood that her imperial grandmother was really angry.

"Who gave you such courage to leave the palace privately?" The Queen Mother carefully looked at the princess and elder brother who were kneeling on the ground. Seeing that they were safe and sound, her anxious heart finally fell, but

The anger in my heart has not subsided at all, but has become stronger.

Facing the Empress Dowager's question, the eldest brother who was kneeling on the ground was shocked. Although he was scared, he was the only one who could take the responsibility if something happened this time. He said respectfully: "Grandma Huang, this is Sun.

Son……"

"Royal Grandmother, it was He Jing who forced my eldest brother to take me out of the palace!" Princess He Jing said first.

When the queen heard this, she felt dizzy and unsteady. Fortunately, the emperor supported her.

"Your Majesty..." The queen looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm here!" the emperor whispered in her ear.

The queen nodded slightly and looked at her daughter kneeling on the ground, her heart almost broke.

"Huang'e Niang, please calm down. Although these children were a little mischievous, they came back safely. Huang'e Niang spared them this time. I believe that with this lesson, they will definitely not dare to do it again!" The emperor said to the Empress Dowager.

The person next to me laughed.

"Emperor, I must not condone the Yi Ai family. Today, in order to find them, there was a huge commotion in the palace. All the palaces were turned upside down by the guards, which made people panic. You sent people all over the capital to search for them, and made a fuss.

Such a big movement, if you don't teach them some lessons, it will be a disaster in the future!" When the Queen Mother said this, her expression changed: "Ma Renyi."

"My servant is here!" Ma Renyi, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, immediately bowed down.

"Publishing the Ai family's decree, Princess Hejing, the eldest brother, and Balzhuer went out of the palace without permission and violated the palace rules..." The Queen Mother wanted to punish them severely, but when she saw Princess Hejing looking at her with tearful eyes, she was originally lively and cute

At this moment, the girl was so frightened that her whole body was trembling. The Queen Mother felt a pain in her heart and couldn't bear it.

"Grandma Royal, Lili will never dare to do it again. Grandma Royal, please calm down!" The princess was so smart. When she saw the Queen Mother suddenly stopped and showed her unbearable expression, she sobbed.

"Royal Grandmother, your grandson has made a mistake. Please ask Imperial Grandma to punish your grandson. This time it is your grandson's fault and has nothing to do with Lili and Balzul!" the eldest brother said loudly.

"You are being loyal at this time. Why don't you think about the consequences when you take them out of the palace?" the Queen Mother shouted.
