Zhan Pianpian only heard the sound of a window being opened. The next moment, she was hugged tightly to protect her, and soon there was a strong sound of wind in her ears.
She couldn't help but secretly opened one eye, and immediately covered her mouth suddenly because she found that she was actually flying in the sky, and her speed was extremely fast.
She quickly closed her eyes, not daring to look anymore, for fear that she would be unable to control her voice and affect Zhou Chen.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but she noticed that it seemed to have stopped.
"You can open your eyes now."
Zhan Pianpian opened her eyes carefully and found that she was in a strange place. It seemed to be a side alley.
"Where is this? Have we left the palace?"
"This is already the Royal Street a few miles away from the palace. Not far ahead is a clothing store. I want to buy you a new suit. The palace dress you are wearing is too eye-catching."
"Ah, I don't have any money to buy clothes."
"Do you think I am short of money?"
Zhou Chen didn't waste any words and just led the way. Zhan Pianpian hesitated for a moment and followed step by step.
??????55.??????
After taking a few steps, she suddenly came to her senses, remembered something very important, and rushed forward a few steps.
"By the way, I don't know what your name is yet."
"Your reaction was really slow. You followed me out without knowing anything. Fortunately, you met me."
Zhan Pianpian smiled sheepishly. She thought she had asked, but in fact she didn't ask at all. When she wanted to call Zhou Chen, she realized that she didn't know Zhou Chen's name at all.
"Remember, my name is Zhou Chen, the name of my birthday is Chen."
"Zhou Chen, what a good name."
"What's so good about it?"
"Okay, fortunately..."
Zhan Pianpian choked. She felt that this person was really irritating when he spoke sometimes. How could anyone ask that?
Walking out of the side alley, her resentment dissipated instantly, and she stared blankly at the bustling street in front of her with the busy traffic.
The streets and alleys are filled with a lively atmosphere, with graceful scholars and scholars, scattered warriors and soldiers holding swords and riding horses, combined with the laughter and laughter of street vendors, forming a scene of prosperous times.
"It's so lively."
She held it back for a long time before she said such a sentence. Compared with the coldness and solemnity of the palace, this was not a very lively street, but it already had a huge impact on her.
Seeing that Zhan Pianpian was stunned, Zhou Chen didn't rush her, he just waited quietly. After she came to her senses, he took her to the clothing store in front to buy clothes.
In the Northern Qi Palace, shortly after Zhou Chen left the palace with Zhan Pianpian, the maid outside the palace called for the princess but did not answer for a long time. She hurriedly opened the door and entered the palace, only to find that the eldest princess who was supposed to be in the palace had disappeared, which frightened the souls of several palace maids. All gone.
Today is the day of the great court meeting. The young emperor Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty went to court together. The queen mother listened to the affairs behind the curtain behind the young emperor.
As the emperor, Zhan Doudou rarely spoke at court meetings and tried his best to play the role of a weak and marginalized emperor, while the Queen Mother acted dictatorially.
Among the officials in the court, Zhong Zhong, as the commander of Jin Yiwei Zhenfu Division, was also the Empress Dowager's most trusted minister, and his status among the officials was very high.
The young emperor, the queen mother, and the heavyweights are the three most powerful people in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Everyone in the Northern Qi Dynasty thought that the Queen Mother and the young emperor were at odds with each other, but in fact they were not really at odds with each other, but were deliberately pretending to be at odds with each other. Not only could they conceal Zhan Doudou's identity as the empress, but they could also distract the officials in the government and the public and make them more powerful. Imperial power was more centralized.
After the court meeting, the young emperor and the queen mother returned to the imperial study. Also entering with them was Begonia Duoduo, the saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
As a direct disciple of the great master Ku He, Haitang Duoduo was named a saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty by the Queen Mother. She was one of the few people in the Northern Qi Dynasty who knew the relationship between the Queen Mother and the young emperor. She was also the person who the young emperor and the Queen Mother trusted and relied on the most. one.
Before they could sit down and say a few words, someone suddenly came to report that the eldest princess had left without saying goodbye, leaving only two letters.
"Farewell without saying goodbye?"
Both the little emperor and the queen mother found it incredible. They still knew very well what kind of person the eldest princess was, and such a thing would never happen to her without saying goodbye.
Zhan Doudou reacted and immediately ordered: "Where's the letter? Bring it over."
Soon someone presented the letter, and it was from the eunuch. Since it was presented, it meant that it had been checked and was harmless.
Zhan Doudou took the letter and did not open it immediately. Instead, he picked up the two envelopes and looked at them.
But when she saw the envelope below, her expression suddenly changed, because there were actually four words written on the envelope.
"Ku He Qin Qi!"
Haitang Duoduo, who was standing nearby secretly eating grapes, saw Zhan Doudou's expression change, so she tilted her head and looked over curiously.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Then, she also saw those four words.
"Is this a letter from the princess to my master?"
The Queen Mother was also confused when she heard Haitang Duoduo's words. Zhan Pianpian wrote to Ku He? They had never met each other a few times.
"what happened?"
Zhan Doudou looked solemn and winked at Haitang Duoduo. Haitang Duoduo immediately understood and quickly cleared away the other people in the hall, leaving only the three of them.
"This is not Huang Jie's handwriting. It seems that Huang Jie disappeared not because she left by herself, but because someone took her hostage?"
The Queen Mother also looked serious: "Your Majesty is right. Pianpian has always been obedient and polite. It is impossible for her to do such a thing without saying goodbye."
"Why don't you let me open it first and take a look?" Haitang Duoduo's eyes were full of curiosity. She was very interested in the letter given to her master.
Zhan Doudou knew Haitang Duoduo's abilities, so out of caution, she handed the letter to Haitang Duoduo.
Haitang Duoduo didn't care at all about the four big characters signed by Ku He, she opened the envelope directly and took out a letter from it.
"I really believe it."
As she spoke, she opened the letter.
"August 15th, full moon night, top of the Forbidden City..."
Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother, who were listening, suddenly found that Haitang Duoduo had lost her voice and froze there.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Haitang Duoduo suddenly turned pale and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
Both Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother were shocked, and the Queen Mother even screamed: "Someone is coming, someone is coming."
In an instant, the eunuchs and guards outside the palace rushed in, looking at the three of them nervously, waiting for orders.
Zhan Doudou looked at Haitang Duoduo worriedly. She clearly found that Haitang Duoduo's body was trembling slightly.
This shocked her greatly. Haitang Duoduo was a close disciple of Ku He, and her cultivation level had already reached the ninth level. Why did she suddenly vomit blood? Could it be related to the letter she read.
Thinking like this, Zhan Doudou couldn't help but look at the letter in Haitang Duoduo's hand. Haitang Duoduo finally reacted. She found that Zhan Doudou actually read the letter, and she immediately screamed in panic.
"Your Majesty, don't look."
But it was already too late. Zhan Doudou had already read the contents of the letter clearly. Apart from the twelve words Haitang Duoduo had just read, there was only one big character left.
war!
"War letter?"
Zhan Doudou was confused. Obviously, this was a letter of challenge. Someone wanted to challenge Ku He, one of the four great masters?
Haitang Duoduo was also very surprised when she saw that Zhan Doudou was okay after reading the letter.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"What's the matter? Junior Sister, why did you vomit blood just now?"
Haitang Duoduo frowned, not knowing why.
"When I saw the last word 'war' in this letter, I felt a very terrifying sword intent. My true energy was out of control, my energy and blood surged, and I vomited blood."
"Sword intention? This word has sword intention? Can it also make you, a ninth-grade junior martial sister, vomit blood? Then why is it fine when I see it?"
"I don't understand either, but this is indeed a contract. Someone wants to challenge the master, dares to challenge the master, and has such a strong sword intention. Could it be Si Gu Jian? It shouldn't be. How could Si Gu Jian be so good?
A sudden date with Master?"
Begonia Duoduo was suspicious and couldn't figure out the situation at all, so she could only make random guesses.
