Chapter 17: Shocking Changes (1)

After several twists and turns, the emperor agreed to the proposal of the ministers, and Zhize finally got his wish to turn a county in Hanzhong with more than 30 prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction into his own feudal state, and also obtained the power to open the government and grant officials, Hanzhong has a relatively independent bureaucratic system independent of the imperial court.

"Drink, drink, just get drunk!" I rushed to the back garden of the palace in a rage, followed by a group of panicked maids. Since the emperor's decree came down, there was an endless stream of celebrities from all walks of life who came to congratulate, Yuan Zhize seemed to be a little excited, drinking and celebrating with these people every day, and he was drunk when he returned.

The lotus flowers in the pond have all been defeated, leaving only a few lifeless leaves and a few bare lotus canopies standing on the water, and the happy fish of the past are now gone. I originally wanted to come here to relieve my feelings, but when I saw such a dilapidated scene, my irritable mood did not improve, but became more serious.

"Let you drink!" I puffed up a handful of leaves from a nearby willow tree and threw them hard into the lifeless pond. Suddenly, I felt that the atmosphere around me was not right, and when I turned around, I found that all the maids standing behind me were looking at me with trepidation, as if I was like a man-eating devil.

Forget it, I sighed, don't scare them, when I annoyed Guan Neihou, I also experienced this kind of panic and anxiety, it was really uncomfortable.

I calmed down and wanted to talk to them about something, but suddenly I found that I had nothing to say, when I was at home before, Chunyu and Qiuyue served me, and after getting acquainted with each other, there was nothing to say, nothing to say.

Now that there are so many people around me, I can't even remember my name, which is really uncomfortable. I walked to the pavilion in the center of the lake and sat down, looking at a pool of autumn water in a daze.

"Why is my princess unhappy again?" A hearty laugh came from behind me, and I didn't have to look back to know that it must be Yuan Zhize. After the maids gave their salutes, they consciously retreated to the lake, and did not disturb us any more. I felt a pair of hands slap heavily on my shoulders, and a pungent smell of wine immediately hit my face: "Xiaoxiao, why are you unhappy?"

I felt that I was about to suffocate, so I quickly covered my mouth and nose, and waved my hand to Yuan Zhize, who was red-faced and red-eared. "Huh, dare to refuse this king, see how I clean you up. Yuan Zhize suddenly became interested, turned my body over, forcibly grabbed my hands, and stretched his face towards me.

"Go away, you stinky drunkard. "In order to avoid the intrusion of alcohol, I threw my face back so hard that I was almost lying on the stone table. "Xiaoxiao, let this king hurt you well today..."Yuan Zhize said, and pressed his hot face to my chest.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, the maids are all looking at us..."

"Ouch, I'm still shy, don't worry, the beauty is wrapped around me. Yuan Zhize hugged me over and patted his chest with a proud face. "A few of you, let me out, no one is allowed to come in without the king's order!" Seeing Yuan Zhize yelling at the group of maids there, I shook my head helplessly, it seems that I am in a catastrophe today.

Suddenly, I instinctively felt that there was someone behind me, and hurriedly turned around, and found that a figure suddenly flashed into the bushes on the side, and I was suddenly shocked in my heart, could it be... I don't dare to think about it. Hurriedly patted Yuan Zhize, and said incoherently: "Oh no, someone... There it is!"

Yuan Zhize listened to my words, and the wine also sobered up a little, stood up suddenly, protected me behind him, and shouted: "Who trespassed into the palace?

I am now a frightened bird, hiding behind Yuan Zhize and shaking non-stop, chasing and killing in the mountains and forests, being assassinated when entering the city, Chen Qian's death, flashing in my mind like a movie screen, I have experienced so many bizarre and strange things, for fear that a person will suddenly descend from the sky to claim my life, Yuan Zhize is also like a great enemy, looking around vigilantly.

"Report to the prince, no... No one..."It was a long time before several soldiers came out of the bushes. "No one?Xiaoxiao, could it be that you are mistaken?" Yuan Zhize turned to me and asked, "Impossible, I obviously saw a person there, and when I saw me turn around, I flashed inside." I hurriedly shook my head.

"Then do you see his face clearly?" I recalled it carefully, but I didn't see it clearly, but the figure was somewhat familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere... As I meditated, I suddenly remembered the figure that ran from front of me to the toilet in a panic that night—it was Xiao Wu!

"No way, if it were him, he would definitely come and report it, he can't be sneaky, but... According to the day, he should also come back..."Yuan Zhize doesn't agree with me, no, it must be him!

I went back to it, and became more and more convinced of my assumptions. Before I could speak, a guard who participated in the search hurriedly ran over and whispered in Yuan Zhize's ear.

"What?" Yuan Zhize's face suddenly changed, as if he had heard some serious news. "Xiaoxiao, you go back and rest first, don't think about today's things anymore, maybe you're too tired these days, I'll come when I have something to do." Yuan Zhize hugged me, then turned around and left.
