Chapter 994 - 868: Seeking the Empress Dowager to Pluck Dongzhu

Nanny Xiao was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

Cold sweat was continuously pouring out from her body.

Princess Lianchun did not spare her a glance and walked straight toward the palace.

Such a hopeless fool; she really couldn’t be bothered to look at her even once more!

Upon entering the palace, she headed directly to the Imperial Study. When she was taken, Zhanzhan was only about ten years old. In her memory, he was still a child. They hadn’t seen each other for these many years, and she wondered what he had become?

Based on the memories she had regained, the monarch of Great Han was a good one, but she wasn’t sure if he still remembered his royal sister?

Would he still recognize her?

A small palace maid passed by her, carrying tea. Seeing her appearance, the maid furrowed her brow, looked at her in confusion, and chided her.

"How dare you, which palace do you belong to?

Not wearing palace attire and standing here gazing at the Imperial Study. Who are you trying to seduce?"

Since the emperor came of age, many palace maids have attempted to climb into his bed. Such means were not uncommon, and many were either expelled from the palace or demoted to servitude by the emperor’s order!

"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

Upon hearing the palace maid’s questioning voice, Princess Lianchun frowned and reprimanded the maid.

Inside the Imperial Study, the emperor, hearing the voice, trembled and put down the pen in his hand, quickly got up, and walked toward the door.

Outside, the sharp voice of the maid came through.

"This palace?

You have the audacity to use such an honorific; you must be mad with ambition to climb into the emperor’s bed!

Do you believe..."

"Royal Sister!"

The sound of the door opening with a creak was accompanied by the emperor’s voice full of surprise and joy.

It abruptly interrupted the maid’s angry scolding.

"Zhanzhan!"

The maid’s face changed, and her body trembled as she immediately knelt on the ground.

The emperor rushed over with a few steps and stood in front of Princess Lianchun, looking intently at her face.

"Royal Sister, it’s really you!

You’ve returned!"

"Yes! I’ve returned. Zhanzhan, you’ve grown up! Let me have a look at you!"

Princess Lianchun looked the emperor up and down, her face full of smiles, but her eyes were filled with a deep sadness.

"It’s good that royal sister has returned, it’s good that you’re back. Please promise not to leave again. This vast Imperial Palace only has me and mother, it’s truly desolate!"

"Is it really desolate?

Why don’t you summon Xiaosui into the palace? If she came, it would surely be lively!"

The emperor: "Royal sister knows Suisui?" That was quite a pleasant surprise.

"Not only do I know her, but I was also brought back flying all the way to the Capital City by her in five days from Xianyu Pass."

"Ah...flew back in five days, that means that little girl’s light kung fu has improved again!"

The emperor had been taken flying by Xiaosuisui before, so he knew very well about her light kung fu.

Now hearing that they flew back from Xianyu Pass in five days, the emperor knew that the little girl’s light kung fu had indeed improved.

"What? You’ve also been taken flying by her?"

The emperor: "..."

"Judging by your expression, it was certainly not a pleasant experience."

After saying that, she moved her body a little, then said, "Is my palace still there? I’m dead tired and need to rest first. I’ll tell you about the years I’ve spent when I’m well rested!"

Princess Lianchun saw the emperor hesitated several times, so she quickly waved her hand and said to him.

"It’s still there, I’ll take you over, Royal Sister."

The emperor was very happy and in a very good mood.

He immediately rewarded the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

This news reached the Empress Dowager, and she naturally knew about Nanny Xiao being reprimanded by Princess Lianchun.

"You! You always overthink everything; from now on, don’t make rash decisions. Princess Lianchun is formidable and has her own ideas. From now on, in this palace, you must respect her as you would me, the words she said to you today!

On the surface, she was teaching you a lesson, but in fact, she was reminding me how to act!"

Nanny Xiao was puzzled, not understanding, and wanted to ask the Empress Dowager what she meant, but the Empress Dowager waved her hand, saying she was tired, and dismissed her.

As for Xiaosuisui, after sending off Nanny Xiao and Princess Lianchun, the old lady didn’t look pleased.

"Eldest son’s wife, put away that bracelet of yours! In the future, wear the Eastern Pearl bestowed by the Empress Dowager!"

Wang Dongxue was a bit reluctant. Her bracelet had an array carved by Huo Xing’er that gathered spirits and nurtured health. After she became pregnant, she had taken it off and hadn’t slept well, later putting it back on which improved her sleep somewhat.
