A look of fear appeared on Li Wenzhong's face, and he unconsciously stared at the group of five riders - there were four people following Sicang.
Arriving at the gate of the princess's palace, Si Cang got off his horse and his cold eyes flashed across the faces of the Li family couple, "Master Li, are you here to apologize?"
Mr. Li smiled stiffly: "Si, Commander Si..."
"You should have an attitude of apologising." Si Cang's voice was sinister, as cold as if it was wrapped in a layer of ice. "What kind of crime is the following? I don't need to remind Mr. Li."
Li Wenzhong's face suddenly changed. He originally wanted to say something to support his dignity as an official of the imperial court. However, facing the cold and ruthless eyes of his superior Cang, fear spread all over his body. He unconsciously took a step back, his voice filled with obvious fear.
Se: "Also...please ask the commander to make it clear..."
"Kneel down here and let Her Royal Highness see your sincerity in asking for forgiveness." After leaving these words, Sicang turned around and walked into the gate of the princess mansion.
The housekeeper bowed slightly, and then closed the door in front of Mr. Li, completely cutting off the Li family and his wife.
The four black-clothed shadow guards of the Shadow Pavilion were lined up on the left and right outside the gate, with the same cold aura, and the unique and daunting aura of the Shadow Pavilion.
Kneeling?
Li Wenzhong's expression was stiff, so he asked a court official to kneel outside the gate of the princess's palace to plead guilty?
This... if people knew about it, where would he show his face?
"Master, what should we do?" Mrs. Li panicked, "Xue'er's life or death is uncertain, and Xuan'er has also been captured by the Shadow Pavilion. What should we do?"
Li Wenzhong closed his eyes: "If you hadn't instigated Xuan'er to come to the princess's house to ask for someone, how could he..."
"What's the point of blaming me now?" Mrs. Li's eyes were red with anxiety. "The top priority is to rescue Xuan'er and Xue'er. The people in Shadow Pavilion are all ruthless and cruel. Just in case... just in case..."
Li Wenzhong looked at the closed door in front of him in silence, frowning when he thought of what Si Cang had just said.
The attitude of apologizing?
Why did Sicang come to the Princess Mansion? What is his relationship with the Ninth Princess?
Xue'er was taken away by the Shadow Pavilion, and Xuan'er was also arrested by the Shadow Pavilion... Does this mean that Si Cang listened to Yun Zishu?
How can it be?
How could the emperor allow such a situation to happen?
However, under the imperial power, everything is turbulent. What is impossible to happen?
Li Wenzhong turned to look at Mrs. Li: "Go to Xiao's house and tell Shuxuan that she will bring Xiao Yunheng to apologize tonight."
"What do you know?" Li Wenzhong scolded her, "It's just because of the injury that it's easier to carry out the torture plan."
Mrs. Li instantly understood what he meant, responded, and quickly turned around and went to Xiao's house.
Mr. Li looked at the closed door and was in a dilemma. Finally he made a decision and went up to knock on the door.
No one answered him.
Master Li continued to knock on the door.
After a while, Butler Cheng opened the door and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "What's wrong with Mr. Li?"
"Butler, I'm here to apologize. Please let me in." Li Wenzhong pointed to the open space in the front yard, "I will kneel down to apologize to the princess. I will kneel here. I promise not to disturb the princess."
For Li Xuan and Li Xue, why not kneel down?
But it is definitely not possible to kneel outside the gate. If the gate of the Princess Mansion remains closed, no one will know about him kneeling until he dies.
Butler Cheng frowned and reluctantly said, "Come in."
"Thank you butler."
Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the courtyard quickly, gritted his teeth, lifted his robe and knelt down.
Butler Cheng ordered someone to close the door, glanced at Mr. Li, turned and left.
In Qifeng Hall, Yun Zishu is reading a book.
After a whole day of hard work, the sky had turned dark. Yun Zishu ordered people to prepare dinner. He looked at Sicang who walked into the courtyard. The man was dressed in black, and even the darkness could not conceal his aura.
Yun Zishu suddenly felt that this person should not be the leader of the Shadow Pavilion. He was more magnanimous and courageous than the princes of the Yun family, and even his appearance was much better than those people.
The scene where he broke into the Xiao family could not help but reappear in his mind. He had a long sword in his hand, and there was almost no grass in the place where he passed. Blood stained his eyebrows, like the god of death from hell...
"Your Highness, Princess." Sicang stood in front of the window and looked at Yun Zishu, "Xiao Yunheng will be punished for fifty times with a cane and will be kept in bed for at least a month."
It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones.
The imperial staff in the palace is by no means easy to bear. Even if the imperial army did not dare to kill him, Xiao Yunheng would not be easy to bear at the moment.
"Thank you for your hard work." Yun Zishu said, "Come in."
Sicang left the carved window, climbed up the steps, and entered the sleeping hall.
"Just now Li Xuan came and scolded me." Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "The Xiao family has not finished cleaning up, and the Li family has come to seek death. I have been very busy in the past two days."
Si Cang stared at her eyebrows and said, "Your Highness is different from before."
"You want me to be the same as before?"
Sicang was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head: "It's good now."
"I also think it's good to be like this now." Yun Zishu's voice was calm and indifferent, and her eyebrows were clean. "Ignore the imperial edict, don't care about etiquette, don't have to follow the three obediences and four virtues, and don't have to worry about secular opinions... I am the legitimate princess.
Even if my mother dies young, no one can change this fact."
Therefore, those who want to use rules to pressure her, want her to think that she has to be a lowly person because she has no support, and make her think that when she gets married, she should have to compromise, will all be disappointed.
Sicang didn't say anything, his eyes fell on her face. There seemed to be endless color in his eyes, deep and restrained, hidden deep in the eyes, so that no one could catch them.
"Did Father give you any trouble?"
Sicang came back to his senses and slowly shook his head: "No."
Yun Zishu hummed: "Since you're here, come and have dinner with me. We haven't had dinner together since we moved into the princess mansion."
The maids put the meals on the table one after another.
Yun Zishu is not a wasteful person. Even as a princess, she never likes to be extravagant. In order to keep Sicang for dinner tonight, she had three meat and three vegetarian soups prepared.
She usually eats by herself, and one dish and one meat is enough.
Unfortunately, a peaceful dinner seemed like a luxury to her. As soon as the two of them sat down, a report came from outside: "Your Royal Highness, the prince has brought the imperial doctor and the imperial army to the princess's residence."
