Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

"Your Majesty."

Hearing the voice outside: "Fuck, Yan Kaiyu is back." Shangguan Zimeng hurriedly hid under the quilt, not daring to show her head.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer, Shangguan Zimeng prayed in her heart: I hope he is not here to settle the score with me because I beat the Prime Minister's daughter.

Yan Kaiyu looked at the ball of quilt and asked, "Have you been sleeping since this morning?"

Fortunately, it seems he doesn't know.

Shangguan Zimeng pretended to be very sleepy, poked her head out and started talking nonsense: "Yes, I am really very sleepy."

Yan Kaiyu nodded: "That's fine. With your restless personality, you will definitely cause trouble for me if you go out."

Shangguan Zimeng smiled apologetically and thought to herself: I'm sorry, you guessed it right. I have caused you trouble, and it's a big trouble.

"Since you are sleepy, then sleep a little longer. I will be with you and no one will disturb you. You can..."

Before he could finish his words, a palace maid walked in: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Yang is here."

Yan Kaiyu rubbed his brows and said, "Let him in."

Eunuch Yang walked in with small steps and gave Shangguan Zimeng a meaningful look. The latter didn't dare to look him in the eye at all, knowing in her heart that she was dead.

"This old servant greets His Majesty, and His Majesty the Princess."

The last two words of Eunuch Yang were deliberately dragged out.

Shangguan Zimeng: "..."

"Eunuch Yang is here, but what does His Majesty want to see me for?"

"Your Majesty, I am not here to invite you, Your Majesty, but to invite the Princess to the Yangxin Palace."

"Looking for her?"

"Yes, I'm here to see the princess."

Yan Kaiyu looked at Shangguan Zimeng suspiciously, as if asking: Didn't you say you were sleeping? Why would the emperor come to you for no reason?

Shangguan Zimeng was a little frightened by his gaze. She endured the pain in her right foot and got out of bed. In order to prevent him from noticing, she deliberately said, "I have been pressing my legs down for a long time, and they are numb. Eunuch Yang, you are old, let me help you."

Eunuch Yang: “…”

It looks like this, who is supporting whom?

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

"Eunuch Yang, take care."

Shangguan Zimeng did not dare to look back, for fear that she would meet Yan Kaiyu's burning gaze, so she could only limp and follow Eunuch Yang.

Yan Kaiyu looked at her feet and frowned. He felt more and more that something was wrong. Something must have happened this morning that he didn't know about.

She called over a palace maid and asked, "Did the princess go out this morning?"

The maid replied, "Your Highness, the princess went out this morning, but she came back not long after."

Yan Kaiyu: Didn't you just say you slept all morning? You actually lied to me.

"What did she go out for?"

"This servant doesn't know. The princess didn't let us follow her. She just said that we were too bored to wander around."

"So was there anything unusual after she came back?"

"There was nothing unusual. After the princess came back, she stayed in her room, saying that she was very tired and didn't want to be disturbed. Even when the queen came, she didn't open the door."

"Alright, I understand. Go down."

Yan Kaiyu shook her head helplessly, having already guessed in her heart that she must have gotten into some big trouble, otherwise how could she have alarmed the emperor.

There is no other way. Of course I have to take care of my own people. I'd better go and wait outside the palace. If there is a real commotion inside, it won't be too late to go in and protect the calf.

……

In the Yangxin Palace, with the arrival of Shangguan Zimeng, all the people involved in the incident of the Prime Minister's daughter being beaten in the imperial palace have arrived.

As an emperor, Yan Ruoshi had to remain dignified at all times. He held back his laughter and glanced at Min Ran, who was beaten black and blue. He pointed at her and said, "You are in a worse situation. You speak first."

Min Ran seemed to be frightened by Shangguan Zimeng's beating. He mustered up the courage to point his finger at her and then carefully put it down, saying weakly, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say. She was the one who beat me."

"Shangguan Zimeng, let me ask you, do you admit that you beat her?"

Shangguan Zimeng, in line with the idea of ​​leniency to those who confess and severity to those who resist, actively admitted her mistake: "Your Majesty, I admit it."

When the Empress heard this, she admired Shangguan Zimeng's honesty and deliberately favored her: "Your Majesty, Zimeng is well-behaved and cute. There must be some misunderstanding."

Shangguan Zimeng: Sister Ye Xi thinks I’m well-behaved and cute. Is this probably some misunderstanding?

Yan Ruoshi felt that what the queen said made sense, even if what she said didn't make sense, it still made sense.

"I want to ask you, how did this happen? Tell me and the Queen the whole story, word for word."

Min Ran stammered and was unable to say anything. Although she was the one who was beaten, she was the one who provoked Shangguan Zimeng first. In this regard, she was not in the right.

At this time, Eunuch Yang came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Min is here."

"Please."

Min Ran: That’s great, my prime minister father is here to make the decision for me.

After Min Xiang came in, he glanced at Min Ran and said: You've been beaten into this state.

"This old minister pays homage to His Majesty."

"Min Xiang, there is no need to be so polite. I believe you are here for Princess Min's matter."

"Your Majesty, I already know the general situation of my daughter. It was because I didn't discipline her properly that my daughter offended the princess."

Min Ran: What's going on? I was the one who got beaten.

Shangguan Zimeng: What's going on? Didn't I hit someone?

Yan Ruoshi had originally been on Shangguan Zimeng's side in his heart, but when he heard what the prime minister said, things became much simpler, so he walked down the stairs.

"Min Xiang, don't blame yourself. I will never be biased in this matter. Since Princess Min was beaten by her, I will punish her by confining her to my mother's palace and not letting her move around freely."

Minister Min bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Min Ran was completely confused. Just confining Shangguan Zimeng was enough. He said unconvincedly, "So was my beating in vain?"

Prime Minister Min looked at her with a look of disappointment and said, "Shut up, don't embarrass yourself here, thank you quickly and come back with me."

Min Ran thanked him reluctantly, looked at Shangguan Zimeng with grievance, and then followed her prime minister father out of the Yangxin Palace.

Shangguan Zimeng was actually also confused. She had thought that she would be severely punished today, but she didn't expect it to end so easily.

"Okay, this matter is over, you can go back now, my brother should be worried about you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Zimeng was about to leave when the Empress called her back: "Wait a minute. Your Majesty, I think Zimeng's legs seem to be a little inconvenient. Let's ask someone to take her back."

"The queen is kind-hearted. I will obey you."

At this time, another eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial guards just came to report that the Queen's favorite tree was kicked down by someone."

This is quite sudden...

After hearing this, Yan Ruoshi flew into a rage and slammed the table, severely damaging it. "What!? Who is so bold? How dare you touch the Queen's favorite tree? Investigate me."

Shangguan Zimeng had a vague feeling of foreboding: Could it be the tree I kicked today? But after I kicked it, it was still intact and standing well.
