Chapter 509 Rainy Night

"I just heard from the palace maids around me that Tan Zong was heard by his mother in the morning and was standing in the square. I don't know what he had done." The person who broke into the room was Zhao Yulan. Because she was too hasty, her clothes were soaked in the rain.

Zhao Yuzhao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she understood. From the time point of view, Queen Wanyi should have taken her anger against Tan Zong because she did not marry, and her eyes couldn't help but show a look of worry: It's almost midnight now, if you say so, wouldn't Tan Zong have been standing in the square for twelve hours? Can his body be able to bear the scorching sun at noon and the heavy rain at night?

"Which square is he in?" Thinking of this, Zhao Yuzhao pressed his hands on Zhao Yulan's shoulders and asked anxiously.

"The one next to the washing clothes bureau." Zhao Yulan felt a pain on her shoulder. It seemed that Zhao Yuzhao had used a lot of effort and replied in a sweet voice.

"Go to Chengde Square." Zhao Yuzhao immediately understood Tan Zong's direction when he heard this. After letting go of Zhao Yulan, he walked out quickly while in a deep voice to the palace maids in the room.

Upon hearing this, the palace maids quickly took umbrellas and followed Zhao Yuzhao.

"Sister, wait for me." Zhao Yulan rubbed her sore shoulders and looked at Zhao Yuzhao who was rushing out. She couldn't help but smile a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she shouted and chased after her.

In Chengde Square, Tan Zong stood tremblingly in the heavy rain. His body was already wet. He was blown by the wind on this rainy night and was suddenly frozen to death.

From noon to now, Tan Zong has been thinking about the reason why Queen Wanyi punished her, but unfortunately she had no idea and couldn't figure it out. Could it be that a villain was making a report from behind?

Just as Tan Zong was thinking about it, Zhao Yuzhao and Zhao Yulan appeared behind him and stood there from afar to watch him.

Looking at Tan Zong trembling in the cold wind, Zhao Yuzhao's heart suddenly felt ache. She didn't expect that she would cause such a big trouble to Tan Zong.

"See the two princesses." Seeing Zhao Yuzhao and Zhao Yulan coming, two eunuchs standing under the eaves of the palace on the side hurriedly walked over with umbrellas and bowed to them. They were ordered by Queen Wanyi to supervise Tan Zong to stand here.

"Sister, this is wind and rain. Even if Tan Guerrilla is attacked by iron, it will be damaged!" Zhao Yulan glanced at Zhao Yuzhao who was staring at Tan Zong with concern and said calmly.

"Go and give him this umbrella." Zhao Yuzhao heard this and took an umbrella from the palace maids beside him and handed it to one of the eunuchs who supervised it. "Don't tell him that it was the one I asked you to send it."

"The princess is not a young man who is unwilling to do so. It is the queen who issued an imperial edict to ask Lord Tan to think about it for three days here, and no one can come into contact with Tan Zong. Violators will be punished with the same crime." The eunuch held an umbrella in his hand and said to Zhao Yuzhao in embarrassment.

Zhao Yuzhao was slightly stunned when she heard this. She originally wanted to plead with Empress Wanyi and asked Empress Wanyi to let Tan Zong go. She never expected that Empress Wanyi, who had always been kind, would punish Tan Zong so severely. She would not eat or drink for three days, even if Tan Zong did not die, she would have to peel off her skin.

"Sister, my mother has never been so strict with others. I think Tan Juezha is over now. Unless the father speaks, the mother will never change her mind easily." Seeing that Zhao Yuzha's face became solemn, Zhao Yulan looked at Tan Zong and said to herself, "I see, in this weather, it will take only three days. Tan Juezha will be difficult to get through tonight."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzhao looked at Tan Zong in the heavy rain with his eyes flashing, thinking about countermeasures. She knew Queen Wanyi's personality. Although Queen Wanyi treats people well and drizzle on weekdays, once she gets angry, it will be a storm. Unless she is Emperor Qingping, it will be difficult to calm her anger.

Tan Zong angered Queen Wanyi this time. Even she was not sure that she could rescue Tan Zong immediately. The more time went on, the more dangerous it was for Tan Zong.

Besides, Zhao Yuzhao had no reason to plead for Tan Zong. Could it be that she, a girl, would like to admit that she likes Tan Zong who is ignorant? Even if she doesn't mind, would she still want such a face as Dashun Royal?

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yuzhao's mouth. She seemed to have made up her mind. After breathing a deep breath, she took an umbrella from the eunuch's hand and walked towards Tan Zong.

Seeing this, the palace maid who held an umbrella for Zhao Yuzhao hurriedly followed her. Before she could take two steps, Zhao Yuzhao waved her hand without looking back and signaled her not to follow her.

Seeing this, the palace maid stood there, looking at Zhao Yuzhao who was walking in the rain with a look of astonishment, her eyes full of incredible: the dignified Princess Zhaoning was actually wet from the rain.

Zhao Yulan, the palace maids and eunuchs around them were also staring at the scene in front of them in amazement. Zhao Yulan quickly reacted and knew that Zhao Yuzhao was using her to plead for Tan Zong with her, so she whispered to a palace maid beside her, "Go and tell the queen, and then she said to Princess Zhaoning accompanied Lord Tan to the rain."

The palace maid left hurriedly when she heard this. Zhao Yulan then looked at Zhao Yuzhao with a smile. Empress Wanyi's trick was really wonderful, which allowed Zhao Yuzhao and Tan Zong to finally break through the window paper between the two. As long as Tan Zong is not a fool, he should know what to do next.

Tan Zong was thinking about when the rain would stop, but the rain suddenly did not fall on him anymore, but it was still raining heavily around him. He subconsciously looked up and saw an umbrella above his head. Then he was stunned, because the person holding the umbrella for him... it turned out to be Princess Zhao Ning Zhao Yuzhao!

Zhao Yuzhao covered Tan Zong's head, and he was wet in the rain. Seeing Tan Zong look at him foolishly and smiled at him.

"Your Highness Princess, why are you here?" Tan Zong never expected that Zhao Yuzhao would hold an umbrella for him. In shock, he quickly took the umbrella from Zhao Yuzhao's hand, reached over and beat her, and asked in surprise.

"I can't sleep, come out for a walk." Zhao Yuzhao smiled slightly and answered indifferently, but felt a little helpless in his heart: Why did Tan Zong, who looks very smart, now has become a elm-head? Have you ever seen a princess who stays asleep while playing with others in the rain in the middle of the night?

"Go out for a walk?" Tan Zong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but look up at the night sky with lightning and heavy rain, and his eyes showed a suspicious look, as if it was not the time to go out for a walk.

"Mr. Tan is quite sensible. Qin Yiting from Duke Zhenguo's mansion is a famous beauty in the capital. When will she marry her into the house?" Zhao Yuzhao saw that Tan Zong had not reacted yet, so he changed his mind and changed the topic. He asked casually, with a hint of sourness in his tone.

"Qin Yiting?" Tan Zong's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he looked very surprised. Then he said to Zhao Yuzhao, "Your Highness the Princess misunderstood. I am just friends with Miss Qin Er."

"Mr. Tan, Qin Yiting has invited you to the Xiayou Conference, but you even said that you are just friends with her. If this matter is spread, what will be the face of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?" Zhao Yuzhao couldn't help but feel angry in his heart when he saw Tan Zong denying his relationship with Qin Yiting, and said coldly.

"Your Highness, Princess, was led by Mr. Lian Enlian, and I happened to meet Miss Qin Er at that time." After hearing this, Tan Zong quickly explained to Zhao Yuzhao that he had nothing to do. It would be bad if Qin Yiting's reputation was ruined.

"Is Lian En who took you in?" Zhao Yuzhao obviously didn't know the reason. After being slightly stunned, he looked at Tan Zong in surprise.

After the bonfire party, Zhao Yuzhao didn't understand why Tan Zong appeared at the bonfire night because of Tan Zong's suffocation. If she didn't ask, others would naturally not say it. She always thought that Tan Zong was invited by Qin Yiting.

"Have you forgotten that you asked the soldiers at the entrance of the yard to report to the princess, hoping that the princess would meet her, but after waiting for a while, the princess did not send a reply." Seeing Zhao Yuzhao's surprised look, Tan Zong reminded her with depression.

"Why do you want to see me?" Zhao Yuzhao's expression seemed even more confused when he heard this, because no one told her that day that Tan Zong wanted to see her. She felt that Tan Zong didn't seem to be lying, and there was no need to lie, so she asked curiously.

"I know how offended the princess was before, so I want to apologize to the princess." Tan Zong heard this and thought that Zhao Yuzhao had remembered the matter of leaving him at the door of the yard and said in a deep voice.

"Apologize?" Zhao Yuzhao vaguely realized that Tan Zong's affairs did not seem to be as he thought. Somewhere must have been wrong. He pondered for a moment, looked up at Tan Zong, and said solemnly, "Tell me, what happened that day?"

Hearing this, Tan Zong was stunned and looked at Zhao Yuzhao in surprise. He didn't understand what Zhao Yuzhao was doing, and what he said was a bit inexplicable.

After all, Zhao Yuzhao was a princess. Although Tan Zong was confused, he still followed her request and started with Empress Wanyi summoning him into the palace. He told Zhao Yuzhao all about what happened that day, including Li Shaoqing's misunderstanding, but he hid the incident of his own conspiracy.

"Your Highness, you were definitely not intentionally offended by the lake that day. It was really because of the situation and you cannot do it. I hope the princess will forgive you." After saying that, Tan Zong bowed and explained to Zhao Yuzhao in a deep voice.

"You mean, my mother asked you to come to the yard to find me, but you were stopped at the door of the yard, so you were taken in by Lian En, attended the bonfire conference, met Qin Yiting, and Li Shaoqing thought you were flirting with me, so he targeted you at the bonfire conference?" Zhao Yuzhao of course knew that Tan Zong did not offend her. After learning about the incident, she looked at Tan Zong with some difficulty.

"Although it sounds a bit long, it is indeed the case." Tan Zong nodded and said in a loud voice.

"How could this happen? How could this happen!" Zhao Yuzhao was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself. Only then did she realize that she had misunderstood Tan Zong. Everything was caused by Li Shaoqing.

Zhao Yuzhao is sure now that it was Li Shaoqing who stopped the team from telling him that Tan Zong was going to see him, because she was bathing in a mountain spring. In addition to the big inner guards, there was Li Shaoqing who was guarding outside the mountain spring. The big inner guards would never dare to hide it. Then the only one who suppressed this matter was Li Shaoqing, who was jealous of Tan Zong.

Tan Zong felt that Zhao Yuzhao was in a bad mood tonight, and he seemed very strange when he said something inconsistent with the foreword.

Unintentionally, Tan Zong noticed something and couldn't help but be stunned. Zhao Yuzhao's white dress had been soaked in the rain before. Although Tan Zong is holding an umbrella for her now, in this stormy weather, how could an umbrella hide Zhao Yuzhao's rain? A lot of rain was still swept by the wind and fell on Zhao Yuzhao's body, making Zhao Yuzhao's dress tightly pressed against her body, as if wearing a transparent outfit, and her perfect figure was presented to him in front of him at a glance.

"Your Highness Princess, it's raining heavily outside, so you'd better go back." After a moment of silence, Tan Zong quickly came to his senses, quickly looked away, and said in a deep voice that Zhao Yuzhao is a princess, and it is indeed not suitable to stay here.

"My mother has ordered you to think about it for three days here, and anyone who comes into contact with you will be punished with the same crime." Zhao Yuzhao smiled slightly at Tan Zong and said in a sweet voice when he heard this.

"Same crime as it?" Hearing this, Tan Zong's eyes first showed a blank look, and then looked at Zhao Yuzhao in surprise. If he said this, wouldn't Zhao Yuzhao be punished to stand here too, but why did she do this?

"The night view tonight is so beautiful." Seeing that he had already understood what he said so clearly, Tan Zong didn't know what it meant, Zhao Yuzhao felt helpless, so he had to raise his head, look at the night sky with lightning, and said quietly.

After hearing this, Tan Zong looked up at the sky. He really couldn't understand what Zhao Yuzhao's psychological world is now. He even said some incredible words. Could it be that something went wrong with her mind?

When a long slanted lightning flashed through the dark sky, Tan Zong, who was thinking about it, suddenly reacted, his eyes immediately showed a look of astonishment, and his face looked incredible. He finally knew why Zhao Yuzhao appeared here, and why Zhao Yuzhao said those inexplicable words.

But how is this possible? Tan Zong couldn't help but look at Zhao Yuzhao who was standing beside him with a smile, and felt like he was dreaming. Just as Li Shaoqing said, what qualifications are he worthy of Emperor Qingping's favorite pearl of the palm!

Zhao Yuzhao felt that Tan Zong was looking at him, so he also looked at him. When she noticed the shock in Tan Zong's eyes, her face couldn't help but turn red. It seemed that this elm-wood head had finally opened up.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed through the night, illuminating Tan Zong and Zhao Yuzhao. The two stared at each other on a rainy night. Time seemed to stop at this moment. The surprise on Tan Zong's face formed a sharp contrast with the tenderness in Zhao Yuzhao's eyes.
