Zhao Chengji ignored the obstruction of Nanny Liu and others and went to Su Nianyun's room in one breath.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Chunhua was cleaning the room, and was surprised when she saw the prince burst into the princess's room at once.
She knew that the prince was coming and that Aunt Liu was dealing with him outside, so she did not come forward.
Unexpectedly, the prince came directly to the princess's bedroom.
"Where is your master?" Zhao Chengji ignored any etiquette at this time. He was really worried about Su Nianyun.
Although in his mind, all women are used, there is still a difference between taking advantage and exploiting.
For example, Nangong Yue and his like, he used her to take advantage of the family power behind her, but Nangong Yue herself, without the support of the Nangong family, would be just penniless in his eyes.
But Su Nianyun is different.
Su Nianyun has outstanding talents, and another thing is that she is too business-minded and can make money.
If he keeps such a smart woman by his side, she will understand his thoughts and fill in what he lacks. Only in this way will she be his ideal wife.
Of course, he would never be able to marry Su Nianyun as his main wife, but as a concubine, a nobleman, etc., as long as he ascends to the Dabao, he will definitely be able to break through the shackles of his aunt-nephew status.
He was confident that when he succeeded to the throne, he would manage the ministers so obediently that they would not dare to say a word against him.
In short, Su Nianyun is special to him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" At this time, Aunt Liu chased after her, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is the princess's bedroom. Come here..."
It's against the rules!
Aunt Liu was an old lady in the palace, so she reminded her of this matter in a very dark way, in order to save face for the prince.
However, Zhao Chengji was sure that this was Su Zhai, and Su Nianyun's own clan members were inside and out. Even if they knew something, they would not spread it to the outside world, so they acted recklessly in Su Zhai.
"Mama Liu."
Zhao Chengji pretended to be awake and then exited the room.
"I was also anxious for a moment. As you know, Princess Nianyun helped me a lot in Mobei, so I was so anxious when I heard that she fell into the water."
"Princess Nianyun is not in the room, so where is she? I must personally confirm her safety today before I can leave with peace of mind!"
Seeing that Zhao Chengji was determined to see the princess, Nanny Liu looked at Chunhua, and both of them saw surprise and helplessness in each other's eyes.
As a last resort, Aunt Liu said, "Your Highness, you must meet our princess, but..."
She asked, "No matter what you see, you must keep quiet and not make a single sound. Can you do it?"
"Don't worry, I won't disturb Princess Nianyun." He thought Su Nianyun was resting in another room, so he agreed.
"Your Highness, you must remember what you said and don't make a sound!" Aunt Liu said again.
"Mother Liu, I, the noble prince, keep my word. You have said it so many times, do you think you are looking down on me or something like that?"
"No, no, no, Your Highness, how dare I look down on you, it's just..."
"Forget it," Mother Liu shook her head and looked at Chunhua, "Chunhua, take the prince to see the princess."
"Remember, you can't disturb the princess, okay?"
When Chunhua heard that Aunt Liu asked her to take the prince to see the princess, the expression on Chunhua's face changed.
She was a little embarrassed, but looking at the prince's anxious face, she had to obey.
"Your Highness, please ask this servant..."
Chunhua immediately led Zhao Chengji to the backyard.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Several guards immediately noticed something was wrong in the backyard.
"What?" The people Zhao Chengji can take with him are all people he trusts very much.
The guard issued a warning, so naturally he couldn't ignore it.
So, he stopped walking towards the backyard immediately.
At this time, Chunhua had already stepped into the backyard in a cold sweat. Seeing that Zhao Chengji did not follow, she turned back in fear, "Your Highness, why don't you leave?"
Seeing Chunhua's expression change as soon as she entered the backyard, and her unnatural demeanor, the guard felt that there was something strange about the backyard.
"Don't you feel wrong?" Zhao Chengji said, "This is Su Zhai. I have never been here before. How could someone deliberately harm me here?"
"Your Highness, it's better to be careful!" A guard stood in front of Zhao Chengji and blocked him with his body.
Suddenly seeing Zhao Chengji's men displaying this formation, Chunhua was stunned for a moment.
She was born in the palace, so she naturally knew what the actions of the people around the prince meant.
She hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, "Your Highness, I haven't done anything, please don't kill me!"
The guard took a step forward and came to Chunhua.
"Since you don't want the prince to kill you, just tell me honestly, who sent you here, and how many people are in this courtyard?"
"Ah?" Chunhua was about to cry, "There are two...three people in the backyard!"
"How many people are there?" The guard took out the saber from his waist.
Chunhua said to the guard behind her, "Your Highness, why are you suddenly doing this? Don't you want to see our princess?"
"It's true that I want to see your princess, but you slaves don't seem to want to serve your master well, and you can't distinguish between superiority and inferiority!"
"Your Highness, what are you saying? This servant has always respected you very much, but..."
"Don't be so verbose," the guard pulled out the steel knife and put it directly on her neck, "How many people are there in the backyard?"
"Three, three!" Chunhua said rigorously, "If we count strictly, there are indeed three people!"
"Your Highness, there are only three of you. I can easily help you with this."
Zhao Chengji nodded, "Go in and take a look, pay attention to your own safety!"
The guard bypassed Chunhua and walked straight into the backyard.
Seeing their serious looks, Chunhua almost thought that there were assassins in Su Zhai, that's why the prince and his men were so serious.
"Your Highness," Chunhua became panicked at this time, "If there is really an assassin, can you rescue our princess first?"
Zhao Chengji looked at her coldly and said, "How can a person like you, a pickpocket like you, still worry about Princess Nianyun's safety?"
"Eating everything inside and outside?" Chunhua was surprised to hear such an insult from Zhao Chengji.
"Your Highness, I am loyal to the princess, how can you say that to my slave?"
The most important thing is that she grew up learning the rules from the Queen Mother. Even if she is a slave, she must always look good to the Queen Mother.
She is a loyal servant, what is His Highness the Prince talking about?!
"If you were a loyal servant, why would you attract assassins to ambush you here?"
Another guard was afraid that Chunhua would do something when he got excited, so he took the place of the guard just now and stood in front of Zhao Chengji.
Chunhua became even more confused, "Your Highness, why is it me? How do you rely on to judge that I am colluding with the assassins?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Zhao Chengji pushed aside the guard blocking him and came face to face with Chunhua.
"After you entered the backyard, your expression immediately became unnatural, and you even flinched..."
"Then... you judge that this is the reason why I colluded with the assassins?"
Chunhua couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Highness, you have misunderstood. The reason why I am like this is because..."
"Wait a minute," she suddenly reacted, "Oh no, the guard who just entered..."
It was too late when the guard who walked into the backyard ran out in a panic.
He is covered in blood!
"Prince's Palace..." The man fell to the ground before he could say a complete sentence.
