Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 379 Princess's Skirt 25

It was only when Mrs. Shen reached the foot of the mountain that she learned that Princess Chenxiang was also in the temple today. She had not originally planned to come up the mountain, but because she felt guilty, she was worried that her sudden departure would arouse suspicion, so she finally came up the mountain.

But you can’t go to the backyard.

According to the old rules, after listening to the monks' lectures for a whole morning and paying some money for incense, Mrs. Shen planned to return home.

At this time, a young monk with an unfamiliar face ran over from the side hall and fell rashly at Mrs. Shen's feet.

When Mrs. Shen saw the familiar pattern on the little monk's collar, she bent down and helped the little monk up herself.

Before he could even open his mouth, the young monk said weakly, "Xiaoshan has a fever!"

After saying this, the little monk got up and ran away quickly.

Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, waved away the maid, and turned around with her nanny, walking around the hall to the cold and quiet rooms in the back courtyard.

Someone knocked on the window of Gu Li's room from outside.

Three short and two long, two short and three long.

Gu Li put down the hand warmer and said in a deep voice, "Bring me the cloak."

They strolled to the wing rooms in the back mountain again. Commander Hu, who was hiding in the tree, gave a hand signal. Gu Li nodded and walked towards the westernmost wing room with a clear goal.

The nanny who was standing at the door to keep out the kids had no time to utter a word when Feixue rushed over, covered her mouth and pressed her into the snow, where she struggled and whimpered.

Gu Li did not stop and stepped into the courtyard. She saw two figures, one old and one young, in the half-open door and waved her hand.

Many guards suddenly walked out from the woods in front and behind the yard.

"Surround this place for me!" Gu Li raised her voice and shouted. The princess's majesty was firmly in her grasp.

"Yes!" The guards immediately surrounded the small courtyard several times.

Commander Hu stood behind the princess with a sword in hand.

Although they didn't understand why the princess had to brave the snow to come to Guanshan Temple outside the city, she also asked them to ambush around the courtyard in the back mountain without alerting the monks in the temple.

However, it does not affect their compliance with orders.

The noise outside frightened Mrs. Shen so much that she tried to hide the child in her arms in a panic.

"Enter!"

Two guards stepped forward, kicked the door open, and stepped aside to make way.

When Gu Li raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Shen holding the child and trying to send him out through the back window.

Putting down his hood, Gu Li stood at the door without going in.

"Mrs. Shen, where did the child in your hand come from?"

Mrs. Shen also saw the scene behind the princess. She sat down on the ground and hugged the child tightly in her arms.

"Your Highness, this was done by a woman alone, and no one in the family knows about it. I hope Your Highness----"

Gu Li interrupted her explanation: "If you have anything to say, go to the Dali Temple and talk!"

She believed what Mrs. Shen said. At the moment, Shen knew nothing about the fact that she was hiding her little grandson of foreign descent, but time would pass and the child would grow up. It would be impossible for him to hide in the mountains forever.

In the original owner's life, Prime Minister Shen finally accepted this grandson and even deliberately fabricated an identity for this grandson.

The guards stepped forward to detain the two people, but Madam Shen covered the child's face tightly with such force that she almost suffocated the child to death.

Gu Li frowned: "Pull the child out!"

When the child does not threaten the safety of the Shen family, she is the grandson of the Shen family. But if the child threatens the entire Shen family, no one needs to say which is more important.

Madam Shen held the child's head tightly, ignoring the child's struggle. The guards were not able to pull a woman with an imperial decree, so they failed.

"Do you think that by smothering him to death you can cover up everything? His face is still there!" Gu Li turned sideways, "Commander Hu!"

Commander Hu stepped forward and pulled the child out without any hesitation.

As soon as the child's face appeared, Commander Hu took a deep breath.

Deep eye sockets, shallow pupils, and high nose bridge.

These are the enemy Rong people.

Commander Hu had been on the battlefield before, and he glared at Mrs. Shen who was lying on the ground, instinctively sensing that this was not a small matter.

Mrs. Shen said in a panic, "I don't know him. I just felt sorry for him because he was alone. That's why --"

The child held by Commander Hu started crying loudly, looking at Mrs. Shen and stretching out his arms, asking to be held, uttering a few foreign words.

Gu Li laughed sarcastically, "Take him away!"

Shen Qingzhou arrived faster than Gu Li expected.

When Gu Li and his group arrived at the foot of the mountain, they met Shen Qingzhou who was rushing over on horseback.

Mrs. Shen was tied up and thrown into the carriage at the back, guarded by Feixue.

There were armored guards guarding both sides of the carriage.

Shen Qingzhou saw at a glance that the maids who were supposed to serve his mother were tied together with a rope and fell at the end of the princess' carriage team.

"Your Highness, I wonder what the servants in my house have done to offend you--" Shen Qingzhou turned over and dismounted, bowing and asking.

Gu Li opened the door of the carriage and stood on the shaft. Her fiery red cloak was blown up and down by the northwest wind, revealing the scarlet dress underneath from time to time.

This was the first time in her life that she smiled at Shen Qingzhou.

He just laughed with ridicule, "It's not just the servants of your Shen Mansion who have offended me, but Madam Shen who has evil intentions!"

"What did you do to my mother?" Shen Qingzhou didn't see his mother among the crowd, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Gu Li, however, was carelessly adjusting her cloak that had been blown open by the wind. She looked down at the anxious Shen Qingzhou and said, "Why, what does Third Master Shen want to do? Do you want to snatch someone from me?"

"you---"

"Just the right thing to give you for the crime of disrespect and treason!"

Shen Qingzhou clenched his fists, knowing that he couldn't force the princess, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Princess, you are too kind. I just want to ask you why my mother, who has an imperial decree, offended you. How can it be considered a rebellion?"

"Imperial edict?" Gu Li chuckled, her laughter a little broken by the cold wind, "Does she deserve it?"

"Princess!" Shen Qingzhou's forehead veins popped up, and he took two steps closer. "Princess, why are you making things difficult for our Shen family?"

Shen Qingzhou still hasn't figured out why the little princess is so determined to deal with the Shen family.

It is obvious that the Shen family has always been law-abiding officials in the court and has not taken on too much power. It is impossible for them to affect the interests of any prince, let alone collaborating with the enemy.

"I thought you would know!"

Gu Li left an ambiguous remark and turned to get into the carriage, "Go back home quickly, you can still be the third son of the Shen family for a while. Cherish it."

The carriage slowly moved away from Shen Qingzhou.

Shen Qingzhou could not do anything even though he knew his mother was caught in a carriage behind him. He could not argue with the princess's guards, as this would confirm the charge of provoking the royal family.

Even though she was a princess, she could not dispose of her mother who had an imperial decree at will.

The most urgent task is to find out what happened in the temple and then go back home to discuss it with my father.

Shen Qingzhou abandoned his horse and ran up the mountain. Ever since the Crown Prince sent someone to summon him to the East Palace early this morning, this must have been the princess's plan.

By sending him away, the target was his mother who was out worshipping Buddha?

This was planned for a long time.
