Gu Nuo’er was carrying a basket of little frogs.
They were croaking along the way.
Gu Zixiao followed beside his sister and watched as the child walked towards the remote palace path.
He couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Nuo’er, where are we going?”
Gu Nuo’er turned her head and smiled, revealing her white teeth. Her bright and lively eyes were sparkling.
“Brother, there’s a strategy in the art of war called ‘preemptive strike’. I’m off to scare Gu Rao first!”
She raised the small basket and shook it gently.
Then, Gu Nuo’er remembered.
This older brother of hers had been on the battlefield since he was young.
He had trained himself to be as firm and upright as a copper wall.
When doing such bad things, she should drag her second brother along.
It didn’t seem good to let Eldest Brother follow her…
Just as Gu Nuo’er was hesitating if she should let Gu Zixiao go back first…
However, the first prince had already taken big steps. He looked back and urged, “In that case, what are we waiting for? Nuo’er, give me the basket.
Brother will go and put it down.”
The child beamed with joy and caught up to her brother in two steps.
“Let’s go together!”
The siblings quickly arrived near Zhuyou Palace.
Initially, Gu Yihan had let their family stay here because the Zhuyou Palace was located in a remote place.
It was in the extreme north of the palace and was just one path away from the cold palace.
There were two imperial guards guarding the door. Their goal was to forbid anyone from visiting the deposed prince, Gu Yongxuan.
When they saw the first prince walking over with the little princess, the two imperial guards were shocked.
They quickly bowed. “Greetings…”
“Shh.” Gu Nuo’er raised a small finger and pressed it against her pink lips.
She curled her small finger and the imperial guards quickly lowered their heads and approached. “What instructions does Your Highness have?”
“Is that old woman, Grand Consort Yu, inside?” The child’s voice was soft and her disgust for Grand Consort Yu was obvious.
The imperial guard quickly said, “Grand Consort Yu has to go to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures every morning. She hasn’t returned yet.”
Gu Nuo’er’s black eyes darted around.
The imperial guard seemed to understand something. He said in a low voice, “The deposed prince stays in his room in a depressed state every day. The deposed princess consort had also just returned with a swollen face and had not left her room. Later on, Miss Gu Rao also went in angrily.”
Gu Nuo’er narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Thank you for telling me, imperial guard older brother.”
She looked up with her watery eyes and asked cutely and obediently, “Can Brother and I go in to take a look?”
How could they say no?!
The little princess could do anything she wanted.
The two imperial guards quickly made way for the two of them and bowed, opening the doors to the Zhuyou Palace.
Gu Nuo’er darted in with a flash.
Gu Zixiao followed behind his sister. He looked around cautiously before following her in.
This was the first time he was planning to do something bad. He was still a little excited and nervous!
The courtyard of Zhuyou Palace looked a little empty and desolate.
Compared to the other palaces, this place was like a cold palace that had been simply decorated.
Although the windows weren’t broken, it was still very cold.
Gu Nuo’er walked along the long corridor on the left.
Just as she was about to walk around the corner, Gu Zixiao hugged her and the siblings stood rooted to the ground.
At the corner, Gu Rao hurriedly walked into a room with a palace maid.
Gu Rao was still cursing, “Bad bird, stinky bird, damn bird! Hurry up and get me hot water. Wipe it clean!”
The young palace maid looked troubled. “Miss, please wait in the bathroom for a moment. This servant will go boil water now.” “Hurry up!” Gu Rao’s complaints came from inside.
The young palace maid left quickly..
