Chapter 89: Catch him back and lock him up!
Qiu Shi was sitting in an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, trying to keep a low profile.
She came to the Regent's Palace for the first time, her mind filled with all sorts of cruel and bloody rumors about Regent Yan Beizheng that she had heard from various places, so much so that as soon as she left the Yong'an Marquis' estate, she tensed up both her nerves and expression.
Especially when getting off the horse carriage, I happened to see Zhou Shui Bi sitting in a sedan chair leaving.
Her heart skipped a beat!
The young lady actually guessed it! Zhou Shui Bi indeed made her move on the day before the Spring Festival banquet!
So, has the Regent seen that nightgown?
Isn't it already thundering loudly?
Hurry! She must hurry and get Miss's new nightgown in front of the Regent...
She hastily entered the mansion and after seeing the butler, she asked him to take her to see the regent immediately.
She didn't know if she could do a good job, although she had made up her mind to help Sheng Jinxiu turn the tide even if it meant losing her head. However, this cold and icy royal palace filled her with fear and unease.
Until she saw Night Ming.
Although she hadn't spoken a word, the familiar face made her heart feel slightly more at ease. She then suppressed the fear in her heart and ran forward, showing affection and enthusiasm...
"General Night, where is the Regent? Please take me to see the Regent quickly, I'm holding this gift and it feels a bit hot in my hands..." Autumn's face turned red as she tried her best to remain calm.
"Quick! Follow me!" Ye Ming only reacted now, but he grabbed Qiushi's hand and dragged him towards the West Flower Hall.
It seems... something has gone wrong!
Sheng Jinxiu actually sent a nightgown too.
Is it also a red nightgown?
It seems like even the materials are the same?
At this moment, she didn't have the leisure to think about what was different between the nightgown sent by Sheng Jinxiu and the one sent by Zhou Shui Bi, or who was true and who was false.
He just knew he had to bring the autumn truth to his master's face as soon as possible and let his master decide how to deal with it.
Re-entering the Western Flower Hall, the cold and bloodthirsty aura inside has not decreased but increased.
Scared stiff, Qiushi had just stepped in when he "thudded" and knelt down on the ground.
Yan Beizhuang was originally closing his eyes and half-reclining on the soft chair, forcibly suppressing the anger that was about to lose control. Hearing the movement this time, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Deep black eyes overflow with countless red threads, like a demon on the verge of going mad.
"Night blind! Let you go catch people! What are you doing bringing a little girl back?"
"If you don't want to live anymore, I can escort you on your way!"
"Your Highness!" Autumn's voice trembled as she began: "I am a maid from the Yong'an Marquis' manor, serving Miss Sheng Jinxiu. My mistress has sent me to deliver gifts to Your Highness, and it was I... who requested General Ye Ming to bring me before you."
As she spoke, she raised her head and saw that Yan Beizheng's hand was pinching a crimson nightgown.
She seemed startled: "Your Highness, this nightgown..."
"What's with this nightgown?" Yan Beiting asked coldly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the nightgown in the Regent's hand is made of extremely rare red cloud brocade... How coincidental, our young mistress also made a nightgown for the Regent using red cloud brocade..."
She then held the box in her hands and lifted it high.
"Bring it up!" Yan Beizheng's eyes also flashed with a hint of doubt, but his tone remained icy.
He hastily took the box and walked a few steps to Yan Beicheng's front, opening it.
Inside was indeed a crimson garment, the fabric soft and delicate, with exquisite embroidery, clearly much more luxurious than the nightgown sent by Zhou Shui Bi.
"Are you sure this nightgown was made by the young lady of your household for me?" Yan Beizheng threw away the nightgown sent by Zhou Shuibei and picked up the one in the box.
"Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"
Full of menacing murderous intent came rushing over, frightening Qiushi so much that she couldn't help but tremble...
