Just when Zhou Yizhu was frightened and frightened, Du Shichu had returned to the capital safe and sound. The monks from the Huguo Temple escorted a group of robbers to the government. They did it in full view of the public and did not keep it secret. Therefore, Du Shichu was almost there. As soon as Chu returned to the palace, news came to the palace.
The emperor immediately sent someone out to ask Du Shichu what happened. Du Shichu informed the visitor without reservation. So not long after, the palace sent an imperial doctor to check her body. The emperor rewarded her. He gave her a lot of things to comfort her during this "frightening trip".
Of course, it is indispensable to strictly order the Jingzhao Mansion to investigate where the robbers came from.
Oh, and here comes Wu Xiaoran, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
"Are you okay?" As soon as Wu Xiaoran walked in and saw Du Shichu, he pulled her without hesitation and looked her over. When he saw that she was indeed okay, his condensed expression relaxed a little.
Du Shichu patted his back comfortingly, and suddenly realized that he had grown taller and the action of patting his back became inconvenient. She had to stand on tiptoes. Du Shichu felt a little regretful, after all, she had been so easy before. Song can pat his back, not only his back, but also his head.
"It's okay. Aren't all those robbers sent to prison? I'm fine. It's almost dark, why are you still out of the palace?" Du Shichu asked him.
"I'm worried about you." Wu Xiaoran looked at her steadily and replied. Because he was in the period of puberty and development, his voice had evolved from a child's voice to a deep and magnetic adult man's voice, but it had not evolved completely yet. He is slightly hoarse, so he usually talks as little as possible.
"You have to take a guard with you when you go out in the future. You can't just take a groom and a maid with you like today." Wu Xiaoran said to Du Shichu with a serious look on his face. His beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled, obviously he was not satisfied with her going out without him. The guard did not agree with his behavior.
"Okay, okay, I'll take care of you when I go out later." Du Shichu replied dejectedly. She relied on her own martial arts skills, so she didn't bother to take so many people with her. After all, she really encountered danger and didn't know who was protecting whom. Woolen cloth.
But what happened today taught her a lesson, that is, with guards, she doesn't have to deal with many things personally. For example, today's "robbers", if she brought guards, there would be no need for her to do acupuncture, and There is no need to ask the monks from Huguo Temple to escort him.
Of course, in addition to this, her travels will be larger, which can also deter people with ulterior motives. Now that she has entered the sight of the dignitaries in the capital, it will be useless to keep a low profile.
Seeing her reluctant look, Wu Xiaoran sighed and said, "Sister, don't let me worry. If something really happens to you, I won't be able to let you go for the rest of my life."
When Du Shichu heard what he said, he felt a little confused and asked him: "Why can't you let me go if something happens to me? It's not your fault, and it's none of your business."
Wu Xiaoran said calmly: "It's none of my business, I should protect you."
Du Shichu suddenly laughed and said: "Little guy, don't think that because you are taller than me, you treat yourself as an elder. You are the younger brother. Only I, the older sister, should protect my younger brother. How can I be the younger brother?" Should I protect my sister? And do you think that I am too weak? I know martial arts and have the ability to protect myself. Brother, sometimes it will be very tiring if you have a strong sense of responsibility."
"It's different..." Wu Xiaoran shook his head and retorted, with an unpredictable expression, and his deep and bright eyes were sincere and persuasive.
When Du Shichu saw him, he had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, when my brother grows up, you will protect me."
He pursed his lips: "I have grown up."
Du Shichu knew in his heart that children, especially teenagers, often declare to others that they are adults. Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaoran could not avoid this problem even when he looked young and mature, Du Shichu sighed.
Because it was already late when Wu Xiaoran left the palace, he could only stay at the Princess's Mansion for two-quarters of an hour. After knowing that Du Shichu was safe and sound, he had to return to the palace.
The servant sent back by Zhou Yizhu had already told Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhou, everything about today. Of course, she knew about the "hero saving beauty" drama in advance and even discussed with Zhou Yizhu how to implement it.
It's just that she didn't know that the plan didn't develop as she hoped, but got out of control. Things got bigger and she was caught off guard and lost everything, especially knowing those "Jie" who were invited to act. All the "bandits" were caught in one sweep. After being sent to the government, they were even more frightened and panicked.
When the matter reached this point, it was obviously not something that she, a female family member, could handle. The head of the Zhou family had to take action to save the matter before it completely got out of control.
When Zhou Yizhu's father, Zhou Zhen, learned about this from his wife, his eyes suddenly darkened and he asked in disbelief: "Who gave you the courage to plot against a princess?!"
"It's a plan. If it succeeds, it'll be fine, but now it's obviously out of control! You just came to tell me, what can I do? I'm just a fourth-grade Minister of Etiquette, and I'm not a high-ranking official in the capital at all. I don’t have any interaction with Jingzhao Mansion, so what can I do? Can I go to the prison to rob the prison, or go to Jingzhao Mansion to bribe?!"
Zhou Zhen simply wanted to strangle the daring Liu and Zhou Yizhu to death.
Mrs. Liu knew that she and her son had gotten into trouble this time, and she felt guilty and panicked. She had to bear Zhou Zhen's anger, but the matter still had to be solved, so she looked at Zhou Zhen's eyes that were so angry that they were about to smoke, and asked cautiously: " Is there really nothing you can do about it? Can you suppress this matter? Even if you can't turn it into a major issue, at least don't spread the word that our family is plotting against the princess?"
"Are you a pig? Suppressing the matter? Suppressing the news? If you were plotting against ordinary people, you would still have a chance, but you are plotting against Princess Duanyang! His Majesty's savior's only daughter! She returned from Huguo Temple Being robbed by robbers on the road to the capital, how could such a thing be trivial?!" Zhou Zhen stared, wanting to kill Liu, who would do anything to bring trouble to the family.
"I-I'm helpless, isn't it? Master, you have to find a way. Brother Zhu is your eldest son and the hope of the future of the Zhou family." Mrs. Liu said naa-naa.
"What eldest son, the hope of the Zhou family? Now I want to strangle this traitor to death! If I had known that he would cause such trouble, I should have strangled him to death as soon as he was born to prevent the trouble he has caused from hurting the whole family. ! If this matter cannot be resolved, my black hat may not be guaranteed, and you can’t even think about the glory and wealth of a mother and a son..." Zhou Zhen said with a sneer.
