Yan Zheng was worried and followed Shen Ning to the front yard in person.

A middle-aged eunuch with a fair face and no beard was waiting in the front yard, holding a fly whisk in his hand. He was slightly fat and his eyes were narrowed. He didn't look like a good person.

Seeing Shen Ning coming this way from a distance, he had a smile on his face and was about to speak when he saw a figure suddenly walk out from behind the moon cave door and blocked Shen Ning's path without warning.

He was shocked, and when he looked closely, he realized it was Qin Yanshu. His brows couldn't help but frown, why was Mr. Qin here?

"Ning'er." Qin Yanshu didn't know when he came, and he didn't know how long he had been hiding behind the moon cave door. He looked at Shen Ning with a haggard face, "How are you doing these days? Has the regent treated you harshly?"

"Master Qin, why are you here?" Yan Zheng looked at him in surprise, then turned to look around, "Brother is not at home. I only invited female guests today. How could you step into the Prime Minister's Mansion without permission?"

Qin Yanshu apologized to Yan Zheng, and then looked at Shen Ning: "Ning'er, I'm here for you."

Shen Ning stopped and looked at Qin Yanshu coldly: "Get out of the way."

"Ning'er——"

"Previously, the regent had ordered that everyone in the Zhenguo Palace must salute when they see me. Mr. Qin's status should not be any more noble than the people in the Zhenguo Palace." Shen Ning looked at him with a piercing look in her eyes. Han Liang said, "So you should kneel down and talk to me now."

Qin Yanshu was startled and looked at her in disbelief. His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes could no longer hide the pain.

Seeing this, the middle-aged eunuch hurriedly walked over and bowed slightly to Shen Ning: "Princess Regent, Your Majesty, please come into the palace."

Shen Ning turned her head with an indifferent expression: "Is it the Queen Mother or the Emperor?"

"Your Majesty." The eunuch smiled slightly and answered very firmly, "But please rest assured, Princess Regent, the Emperor is not summoning you to ask questions, but to ask the Princess to handle something on your behalf."

"What's the matter?"

"The Regent's poisonous disease should be the most painful time right now." The eunuch said calmly, as if he had been used to this kind of thing, "Because the Regent embarrassed the Queen Mother and the Emperor in public a few days ago, this month's antidote It’s a day late, but the emperor knows that the antidote can be delayed by a day or two, but it must be given, otherwise the regent’s life will be in danger, so he asked the princess regent to come into the palace to get the antidote for the prince.”

Shen Ning stared at the middle-aged eunuch's smiling and hypocritical face, and didn't ask why he didn't just send the antidote to the palace, nor why she had to go to the palace to get it in person.

She just nodded slowly: "I'll get it."

The middle-aged eunuch smiled and said, "The princess is a smart person."

"Princess." Shi Qin frowned and said, "The prince has told me that you don't have to go into the palace to see anyone without him accompanying you."

"If there is no antidote, the regent may not survive tonight." The middle-aged eunuch sighed, "The princess will have to decide on her own."

"Ning'er, I'll go with you." Qin Yanshu said eagerly, "If the Queen Mother or the Emperor gives you trouble, I will definitely intercede for you, Ning'er—"

"Brother." Qin Zhilan came in a hurry and looked at Qin Yanshu with anger on her face, "Why are you so confused? The Princess Regent is the wife of the royal family and has a noble status. How can you, a man, get close to her? Stop talking nonsense and come with me. go home."

"I will enter the palace with you." Qin Yanshu ignored his sister's obstruction and looked at Shen Ning with paranoid eyes, "I am sorry for you, and I will apologize to you. I only ask Ning'er for the sake of our friendship over the past ten years. Don’t hold a grudge against me.”

"Hate you?" Shen Ning sneered, "Qin Yanshu, are you worthy?"

Qin Yanshu's body shook, as if he had received a huge blow.

"Princess Regent." The eunuch who passed the order couldn't stand it and took the initiative to help Qin Yanshu. "Young Master Qin is the nephew of the Queen Mother. In principle, his status is valuable and he is no worse than the princess..."

"Oh?" Shen Ning turned her head casually, as if she had doubts, "Because he has a noble status, does he deserve to be hated by me?"

This sentence sounds a bit strange.

When you hold a grudge against someone, do you still need to ask whether the other person deserves it?

The middle-aged eunuch paused for a moment and said with a cold expression: "It's getting late, so it would be better to ask the Princess Regent to enter the palace earlier."

Shen Ning was about to leave, but Qin Yanshu stretched out his hand to pull her as if possessed: "Ning'er——"

Snapped!

Shen Ning raised her hand and slapped him, the sound was clear and loud, and the force was very strong.

"Princess!" Qin Zhilan rushed to her with a look of shock and anger, "How can you hit someone at will?"

"Why shouldn't I slap an unruly disciple?" Shen Ning's voice was cold, and she stared at Qin Yanshu with indifferent and disdainful eyes, "Even if you are the nephew of the Queen Mother, you have no right to belittle women, let alone offend the Regent Princess. . If an ordinary man dares to do this, his family will be confiscated and his family will be destroyed. Why should you be an exception?"

These words made everyone present fall silent.

Qin Zhilan was angry that her eldest brother had no sense of propriety, and she was holding back a fire in her heart but couldn't let it out, because it was indeed her eldest brother who was reckless.

She was about to apologize for her eldest brother, but she heard Shen Ning say coldly: "Qin Yanshu, don't you want to apologize? In that case, just kneel here for an hour, and I will believe in your sincerity."

Leaving these words behind, she turned and walked out.

"Princess, your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!" The face of the eunuch who delivered the order suddenly changed, "Even if Mr. Qin is not as noble as the Regent, he is still the son of an important minister and a relative of the emperor. How could the princess humiliate him like this-"

"He wants to atone for his sins." Shen Ning looked at him expressionlessly, "Do you have trouble with your ears, or is there something wrong with your brain?"

The face of the eunuch who delivered the order changed, and his face turned gloomy instantly: "Does the princess think that by marrying the regent, she will be lawless in the future, and even the queen mother will not take her seriously?"

"So what?" Shen Ning's voice was as cold as ice, "You, a eunuch slave, dare to preach to this princess?"

"Slave——"

"Palm mouth."

The eunuch who delivered the order turned pale, "Princess——"

"If you don't obey me, I will not go." Shen Ning stood still and said, "You can go back and do the work yourself."

The eunuch who delivered the order turned blue and white. He probably never thought that someone would dare to be so arrogant, even threatening the father-in-law who delivered the order.

His expression changed again and again, and he was thinking sadly, waiting to see how the Queen Mother will deal with you when he enters the palace.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and raised his hand to slap himself in the face. He was worried that Shen Ning would be dissatisfied and delay the time to enter the palace, so he deliberately increased the force: "Princess, my servant is wrong. , I don’t dare to be disrespectful to the princess. Please forgive me, princess, and don’t behave like a slave.”

Yan Zheng, Gu Yanran, and Shen Yan were stunned, looking shocked and speechless.

They had never seen someone who didn't care about rules so much. They couldn't help but wonder, did Shen Ning have a brain problem, or was she really so blindly confident that she thought the regent could protect her for the rest of her life?

"As long as you kneel for an hour, will you forgive me?" Qin Yanshu didn't care about other things. At this time, he only had Shen Ning in his eyes. "As long as you are willing to forgive me, I will even let me kneel for a day."

Shen Ning said calmly: "Kneel down for an hour, and I will forgive you. From now on, we will not owe each other anything, and we will each go our own way."

The two owe nothing to each other and each goes his own way?

Qin Yanshu kept shaking his head, no, he didn't want to be indebted to her.

He owed her, and he knew he was wrong. He was destined to be entangled with her in his life.

He will never give up.

"Princess Regent." The eunuch who delivered the order lowered his eyebrows, hiding the cold luster in his eyes, "Can you leave now?"
