[69 Book Bar - www.] As soon as the third prince finished speaking, there was an anxious sound outside the door, and then a slave ran in.
"Bold slave, how dare you make such a noise in the Ming Palace." Empress Wu shouted loudly with a majestic look on her face.
"Please forgive me, please forgive me. I have something urgent to report." Xiaoxi knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Why is it in such a hurry?"
"Your Majesty, princess, princess..."
"What is she? Say it quickly, or you will be punished severely."
"Princess, she escaped."
"What..." Queen Wu exclaimed and stood up from her seat. The third prince and the fourth prince were also surprised, but the third prince was less surprised than the fourth prince.
Because Taiping had just told him to take her out to play. But what he didn't expect was that she would dare to escape privately.
"Tell me clearly, how did she get out?"
"My Majesty, there is a hole in the corner of the courtyard. The princess crawled out through that hole. As soon as I tried to dissuade you, the princess climbed out, so I hurriedly came to report to your Majesty.
"Hole? Did you just say there was a hole in the corner?"
Speaking of this, the third prince frowned slightly.
"Mother, the hole in the corner was dug by my son." Everyone present was stunned, and then they were all puzzled.
Empress Wu looked dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, why are you digging a hole there?"
"The emperor originally wanted to use that hole to sneak in and bring some new things from Chang'an City to Taiping. His mother disciplined Taiping very harshly, so the emperor did not dare to disturb his mother."
After hearing this, Empress Wu gently relaxed her brows and said, "Is the Queen really that scary? Taiping has been willful since she was a child. If she doesn't care about things, what will happen if she has a husband when she grows up? If she doesn't change her character, what will happen in the future?
There will definitely be trouble in that mansion."
"Your Majesty realizes his mistake."
"That's all, you also want to make Taiping happy. However, if you have anything to do in the future, you must discuss it with your mother in advance. Your mother is not that kind of unreasonable person. If you do this, you will only indulge Taiping even more."
"Yes, the emperor will obey the teachings of his mother."
"The top priority is to get peace back. I don't know where this girl will go. She has just recovered from a serious illness and has forgotten many things."
"Queen Mother, do you want to report this to the Emperor Father and send the royal guards to search the palace?"
"Your Majesty thinks this is inappropriate." The third prince seemed to disagree with the fourth prince's opinion.
"Oh? Your Majesty, do you have a different idea? Let's hear it."
"Mother, my father has to deal with state affairs every day and is very busy. The emperor thinks it is better not to disturb his father. Moreover, the imperial guards have important responsibilities and cannot leave easily. If the mother agrees, the emperor is willing to lead people to search for them.
Bring it back in peace."
"Mother, the emperor also agrees with the third brother's opinion. It is better not to mobilize the imperial guards. The third brother will go there in person, which will make people feel at ease."
Empress Wu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then you can go, but you must bring Taiping back without any damage. You are her royal brother, and you know how to protect her."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Okay, Queen Mother is not in the mood to eat anymore. You all should step aside."
After leaving the Daming Palace, the fourth prince smiled at the third prince and said, "Third brother, are you hiding something? Let's talk about it and tell some interesting things to make the fourth brother happy."
The third prince glanced at him and smiled lightly.
"When I came, I met her in front of the door and she asked me to do her a favor."
The fourth prince pretended to think, "Help? Let me think about it, ha, I guess you were asked to take her out of the palace to play, and then you refused straight away, and then she escaped. Third brother, I guessed it right.
