Chapter 685 Breaking In

When I got on the carriage back to the palace, it was completely dark. Glass lamps were hung on four corners of the carriage, which could only illuminate a not-far-distance area.

Mingruo supported his cheek with his hands and looked out the car window: "Hey?"

"What's wrong?" Si Haochen took his wife into his arms and asked Mingruo to lean on his chest.

"This street...is not much the same as usual..." Ming Ruo observed it carefully before saying, "The street is darker than usual, and there are more patrolling people."

The main streets of the imperial capital were illuminated with qi-death wind lights, and Jingzhao Mansion had a dedicated person to add and change the lamp oil. This street from the Su Building to Prince Yun’s Mansion was bright on weekdays. Today, it was dim and dark. If it weren’t for the lights on the car, it would be difficult for people and animals to be separated by one meter away.

"Yes." Si Haochen nodded without comment.

"I don't feel good, I always feel that something is going to happen." Ming Ruo scratched his chin.

"Don't worry, you'll be home soon." Si Haochen tightened the person in his arms a little.

"Oh." Ming Ruo was not very worried about the dangers he and Si Haochen were in, and he could also go into the space to take refuge at any time.

It’s the Duke’s Mansion that my grandmother and grandfather are both older, so don’t be frightened.

Ming Ruo saw Si Haochen with a calm expression: "Did you know something?"

"Just jumping off the beam is just causing trouble." Si Haochen helped Ming Ruo get off the carriage.

The two of them were about to enter the mansion when they heard the sound of horse hooves. Thanks to Linglong and cute, Mingruo's current night vision ability is also excellent - he saw from afar that his cousin Su You came riding a horse wearing light armor.

The two of them were waiting for Su You to come closer, and Mingruo quickly asked: "Fourth Cousin, is something wrong?"

"It's okay, but the emperor is afraid that he will be uneasy tonight. Grandfather told you to stay in the mansion and not leave the mansion." Su You and Si Haochen exchanged glances, and both of them nodded confidently.

"I understand." It seems that my grandfather was prepared for a long time, so Mingruo was not so worried.

Su Hao still had business to do, so he went to do things after he passed the message.

Mingruo returned to Meiyuan, and after taking a shower and changing clothes, he didn't rush to sleep, and he held a book of "Pharmacopoeia" to study hard.

Si Haochen has processed the official documents accumulated in the mansion these days, and he has not seen his wife sleep.

Si Haochen pulled out the book in Mingruo's hand and slammed it on the table: "It's late at night, let's read it tomorrow."

"Yes." Mingruo stretched his waist and listened to the movement. "I feel very peaceful outside."

"If you can hear something here, you probably have everyone rushed into the palace." Si Haochen poked Mingruo's forehead.

"That's right." Mingruo forgot that it was a long way from outside the mansion to Meiyuan. Even if there were any abnormal movements on the street, it was not so easy to hear.

"Don't worry if you say it, you won't listen..." Si Haochen took his wife back to the inner room, "I don't believe it, it seems that I should teach you a lesson."

"Don't make trouble... talk about serious things..." Mingruo was convinced. When has it been so unreasonable?

"Shh... It's a big night, sleeping is serious." In order to punish Mingruo for not being focused, Prince Yun directly sealed the princess' mouth with a kiss...

Mingruo had many questions in his heart, but he soon could not think calmly. He could only be a small snack for the big bad wolf and was eaten bit by bit.

The next morning, Mingruo held "Lao Yao" and got up from the bed. Jiyue and Zi Su came in to change clothes and dress for the princess.

"Have you heard that something happened outside?" Mingruo felt that if something really happened, news would have reached the mansion in the morning.

Jiyue and Zicao looked confused: "It's nothing, princess, what do you want to know? Let's go and ask you."

"No need." Ming Ruo waved his hand. Instead of asking about it, it would be better to ask Si Haochen directly.

"Why did you bring this dress?" Mingruo glanced at the palace outfit that Zi Su was holding.

The weather is still very hot now, and the dresses Mingruo wears at home are very simple and he doesn't wear such complicated clothes.

"The prince said that I will take you into the palace later." Zi Su said.

"Oh." Ming Ruo also remembered that Si Haochen did say yesterday that he would take him to the Emperor's place for a meal today.

Mingruo and Si Haochen went to the palace in a carriage. Mingruo felt that this morning, he would not be much normal on the way last night. Until he entered the Kuntai Hall of the Supreme Emperor, he did not notice anything abnormal.

Prince Duanze happened to bring Princess Ningping to pay tribute to the Supreme Emperor. After several saluted, they sat down and spoke.

Prince Duanze was afraid that Prince Yun had something to say with the Supreme Emperor, so he first told his own affairs - asking the Supreme Emperor to marry Ning Ping and Su You.

The Supreme Emperor did not rush to agree, but looked at Princess Ningping: "Yu Ning, what do you say?"

"Although I am quite thick-skinned, I will be shy when my uncle asked this." Princess Ningping looked open-minded and did not see any shyness at all.

"Cough." The Supreme Emperor was amused by Princess Ning Ping, "Are you shy? Why don't you blush?"

"That's probably because there was too much powder puff when applying makeup." Princess Ning Ping stuck out her tongue.

"Your uncle asked this, if you are willing, you will say that you will follow your father and I will make the decision; if you are unwilling, you will say that you want to be more filial to your parents and discuss marriages in two years." Prince Duanze really has no choice but to do this girl.

"But..." Princess Ningping pursed her lips, "Are you not allowed to make a decision? Come and ask the uncle to make the decision?"

"Hahaha..." The Supreme Emperor was really amused by this straightforward girl, "Will that Yu Ning girl want to let Gu be the leader, or do she have the same filial piety?"

"I must be filial to you, but I want to be filial to my father, mother and mother with Brother You, and ask the emperor and uncle to fulfill my wishes."

Prince Duanze laughed and scolded: "You shameless girl!"

"Okay, our daughter of the Si family should be so happy." The Supreme Emperor ordered Eunuch Hai to pick up the four treasures of the study. "The Su family's children are all very good, but Yu Ning has a unique vision to choose the prince consort."

"Uncle, I am not recruiting a prince consort, but I am going to marry into the Duke's Mansion." Princess Ningping said with a serious look on her face.

"Huh?" The Supreme Emperor raised his eyebrows, "When marrying the Duke's Mansion, you have to serve your parents-in-law and elders, you have to think it through."

"Yeah." Princess Ningping nodded repeatedly, "I know, the people in the Duke's Mansion are all very good, I want to live with them."

Mingruo originally thought that Princess Ning Ping was just a girl in the boudoir and liked the person she liked. She never thought that her love was much deeper than Mingruo imagined - because if she liked someone, even if she was a princess, she could take off her pride. Like an ordinary woman, she would take care of her husband and children and wash her hands and make soup.

The Supreme Emperor wrote the decree for marriage and stamped it with the seal. Before he could put it down, he suddenly broke into a group of imperial guards holding swords from outside.
