A group of Shao Ning's guards rushed over from around the corner, surrounding Feng Zhiwei and blocking her way.
Feng Zhiwei frowned. Wei Zhi was a scholar who knew nothing about the martial arts; there was no way he could fight the guards, and he could only turn and run.
"Take him down!" Shao Ning shouted, and the guards rushed over and easily subdued Feng Zhiwei.
"Tie him up!"
Feng Zhiwei was quickly tied up with a yellow ribbon and carried off.
Shao Ning's face was a pale green and her eyes red. She trembled with an incoherent excitement, and punched up her dress in her fists as she ran with her guards to the Imperial Study.
"We will go see Father Emperor together!"
"We will say that you tricked my body and that we've already pledged to marry in the Imperial Garden. If you ever marry, it will only be to me; and if not you, I will never marry!"
