Princess Tao Ran's shout quickly attracted a group of imperial guards.
They were all shocked when they heard that the Princess Consort of Lang County had killed someone and fled.
The imperial guards were divided into two groups. One group went back to check on the palace maid's corpse, while the other followed Princess Tao Ran to continue searching for the Princess Consort of Lang County.
After they walked away, Shen Junzhi let go of Yu Niaoniao.
Yu Niaoniao took two steps back to distance herself from him.
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Junzhi said, "It's a long story. Come with me first. It's not safe here."
He took Yu Niaoniao's hand and wanted to take her away.
Yu Niaoniao stood still.
"Tell me why you're in the palace first. Otherwise, I won't be able to leave with you."
From the moment she entered the palace until now, many things had happened in just four hours.
