After being pulled into the carriage, Shen Nanqing checked her up and down again. He was relieved when he saw that there were really no wounds on her body, and then frowned and taught her a lesson.
"It's just that your actions were too reckless and the assassination was sudden. If something happened to you while you were out, the guards wouldn't be able to rush over in time. Besides, those assassins didn't do anything serious. You're a little girl. What's the use of following you?" .”
Gardenia opened her mouth, trying to defend herself.
"actually……"
"Actually, what is the truth? There is General Xiao Huo outside, and even worse, there are guards following him. It is not your turn to catch the assassin. It's thanks to the general today. Remember to go and say thank you later."
The little girl responded dully, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart, she obviously saved her little brother.
Seeing that she agreed obediently, Shen Nanqing raised his hand and rubbed her head, then found a dress and handed it to her, speaking softly.
"His Majesty's assassination is a big deal. This dress is stained with blood and cannot be worn again. If anyone asks about it, just say you don't know about it and have less contact with those princes during this time."
Although he didn't know what happened, with Shen Nanqing's intelligence, he quickly realized that this trip was not an easy one. Thinking about the recent commotion in the palace, he was afraid that he would be restless along the way.
While she made up her mind to keep a low profile, she felt helpless towards the little girl.
With Gardenia's temperament, I always feel that she will not be as well-behaved as she appears.
Facing her gaze, Gardenia blinked her eyes, looking innocent.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Nanqing shook his head, feeling that he might have been worrying too much. Although the little girl was a bit naughty, she always knew right from wrong in important matters.
"It's okay. It's time for me to go back. Please change your clothes as soon as possible. I'll ask the maid to bring you some pastries later. You can stay calm for the rest of the journey."
The little girl nodded while holding her clothes, her expression serious.
"Uh-huh!"
Before Shen Nanqing could feel relieved, he heard her caring words again.
"I won't bother you to ask someone to run over. I'll ask Suzuran to follow you to get it!"
"..."
You know this guy only heard the last half of the sentence.
Shen Nanqing pinched her cheek angrily, nodded in agreement, and left with the others.
The scene was too chaotic just now, and Gardenia sneaked away alone. Not many people on the scene noticed. She also came to guard after hearing the news about Suzuran. Fortunately, the two of them have a good relationship, and she used the excuse of concern to I just came here, and it’s hard to stay much longer at this time.
But on the way back, I couldn't help but give Suzuran a few more words.
Suzuran, who was burdened with a heavy responsibility, nodded bravely, thinking that even if her princess really wanted to run away, she wouldn't be able to stop him.
If you can hide it from others, you can't hide it from the emperor.
Zhi Nai had just changed her clothes, and before she even had time to taste the cakes Shen Nanqing sent her, she was told to go to the front rack.
The little girl puffed her cheeks calmly and stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth before going down.
Because of what happened just now, the convoy did not continue to move forward at this time, but set up camp in the surrounding area for repairs.
When Gardena looked over, the surrounding palace people were hurried in and out, moving things and lighting fires. There were many soldiers patrolling around, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Catching a glimpse of the little girl, the emperor was sitting there with a stern face, wearing a superior man's robe embroidered with dragon patterns, with a sense of oppression coming towards his face.
Coupled with the lingering smell of blood in the air, even though the emperor was not angry yet, everyone on the scene unconsciously held their breath and moved cautiously.
