Chapter 113: Catch her and lock her up
Mu Wanrong was shaking with anger and raised her hand to slap him in return.
Chunxiu reacted faster, grabbed her wrist and pushed her hard.
Mu Wanrong was pushed and staggered back. If Zhou Yijian hadn't supported her, she would have sat on the ground.
Her eyes were so filled with hatred that she threw away the Taoist priest's hand, her fierce gaze finally fixed on Shen Ruzhou's face, and she gritted her teeth.
"Okay, you have strength in numbers, let's see if you can still be arrogant tomorrow!"
After saying that, she turned away and Zhou Yijian followed. Before going out, she turned her head and glanced at Shen Ruzhou with squinted eyes.
Shen Ruzhou also looked at him, with a smile on his lips, and watched the two people leave.
Miaodong frowned, "Miss, that Taoist priest looks eerie."
Shen Ruzhou chuckled, "It's okay, I'm more gloomy than him."
Chunxiu put away her stern expression and looked at Shen Ruzhou worriedly, "Miss, I'm afraid they are hiding some bad tricks to deal with you. You have to be careful."
Shen Ruzhou's eyes were calm, and he stood up and went back to the house, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it."
After Mu Wanrong returned home, she immediately went to find Xiao Chenyan.
In the study, Mu Wanrong cried one after another, sounding very pitiful.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Wanrong." Mu Wanrong wiped her tears with a handkerchief, deliberately revealing her red cheeks.
"Wanrong kindly tried to persuade the princess not to interfere in the imperial concubine's affairs, so as not to make mistakes in her business and implicate the palace. However, the princess did not listen at all and even asked her maid to beat Wanrong."
The expression on Xiao Chenyan's handsome face suddenly darkened.
Zhou Yijian sighed and poured dirty water on him.
"Pindao calculated that the concubine's pregnancy was auspicious and she must carry the baby at full term, so he went to remind the princess not to insist on inducing labor early, but the princess refused to listen and kicked out both Pindao and the concubine."
Xiao Chenyan's thin lips pressed into a tight line, and his already angular facial features looked even sharper.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and comforted Mu Wanrong: "I will go to her to settle the score and seek justice for you."
Mu Wanrong looked at Xiao Chenyan with tears in her eyes and choked up: "It's okay for Wanrong to be wronged, but Wanrong is worried that the princess will harm you. I really can't understand why the princess is so stubborn and insists on getting involved in this matter."
She paused suddenly, as if she thought of something, and gasped in surprise.
"Did the princess fall in love with the prince regent and become disloyal to the prince? The prince regent has helped the princess many times, and it was he who recommended the princess this time. Could it be that they want to join forces to deal with the prince?"
Xiao Chenyan's complexion was even more ashen, and his handsome eyebrows were like a pool of thick ink, terrifyingly gloomy.
Then, he called Chang Lin: "Assign people to guard the door of Shen Ruzhou's house. If she goes out tomorrow, we will arrest her and imprison her in the palace!"
In any case, he would never let Shen Ruzhou enter the palace to seek death tomorrow. As for whether Shen Ruzhou and Beixiu Yan would join forces to deal with him, he would have to ask the answer himself after the matter calmed down.
After listening to Xiao Chenyan's arrangement, Mu Wanrong felt secretly proud. She and Zhou Yijian looked at each other, and both of them had joy in their eyes.
If Shen Ruzhou is locked up tomorrow, they will be able to act better!
The next day, Shen Ruzhou packed up and prepared to enter the palace.
Chunxiu and Miaodong were still a little worried about her. What Mu Wanrong and the Taoist priest said yesterday was true. They didn't know what dangers the young lady would encounter when she went there.
"Miss, let me go with you." Miaodong wrinkled her little face, full of worry.
"No need." Shen Ruzhou smiled and walked out with the medicine box, "Just wait for me at home. The pregnant woman who has just given birth should be delivered to the house by then. You must take good care of her."
"Yes." Chunxiu couldn't hide her worry, "Then please be careful."
"Okay." Shen Ruzhou smiled and strode out the door. As long as she entered the palace, the Taoist priest would not be able to stir up trouble!
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the door, there was a strange noise behind her. When she turned around, she saw that Miao Dongchunxiu and Miao Dongchunxiu had knives at their necks.
Her expression suddenly changed, and before she could react, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck, her eyes went dark, and she fainted amidst the exclamations of Miaodong and the others...
