Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 332 The county magistrate came late

Liang Shuyan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She waved her hands repeatedly and her voice was trembling: "Princess, how can this happen? If outsiders listen to these words, our Jin family will be beheaded. Please forgive me for such treasonous words." The common people dare not accept it hastily!"

Her words were full of fear and uneasiness, as if in this short sentence, he had seen the tragic fate of himself and his family being executed.

The princess looked at Liang Shuyan, a trace of confusion and disappointment flashed in her eyes. She didn't understand why this girl, who was so kind and simple in her eyes, was so afraid of telling the truth.

The scene freezes at the moment when the princess and Liang Shuyan look at each other, and everything around them seems to have stopped. There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if even breathing became cautious.

"Mom, grandma, get up quickly." Niuniu said, looking at the two relatives in front of her with a pair of moist eyes. The sadness and pain in her heart were like a sparkling lake, causing ripples at the slightest touch.

"The gift has passed, and now we are a family." Niu Niu's voice was gentle but firm, as if there was a kind of magic power that instantly relaxed the tense atmosphere.

"The servants are waiting in the yard, we don't need to be afraid of anything." Niu Niu looked at the servants standing in the yard with low eyebrows, as if her words were engraved in her heart. She paused, and an uncontrollable impulse emerged in her heart, "I just want to talk to mother. I am not happy at all in the palace."

Liang Shuyan's eyes stared closely at Niu Niu, as if trying to find the answer on her face. She held Niu Niu's hand, and the warmth in her palm conveyed her mother's worry and anxiety. Her voice was trembling, as if she was trying to suppress her emotions.

Niuniu lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Her thoughts seemed to return to that splendid palace, those red tape rules, and those concubines in the harem who fought openly and secretly. She thought of the tricks and scheming she had to learn in order to survive, and the exhaustion and helplessness she felt in those days.

"I..." Niu Niu's voice was choked with sobs, "I miss my life at home, my parents, and those days of freedom." A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, "I am in the palace, although I live a beautiful life. Yushi's life, but he has lost himself, and has to face intrigues every day."

Liang Shuyan didn't know how to comfort Niu Niu who had lived with her for more than ten years, and she was a little confused for a while.

Liang Shuyan gently hugged Niu Niu, her heart hurt as if being pricked by a needle. She remembered that when Niu Niu first entered the palace, she was still an innocent little girl, full of curiosity and longing for everything. But now, that innocent little girl is gone, replaced by a troubled girl.

"Niuniu, I know you are unhappy in the palace." Liang Shuyan's voice was trembling, "It's my fault. I didn't protect you well. But you have to believe that one day we will leave this place."

Niu Niu raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, but she gritted her teeth and did not cry. She knew that in the palace, even crying was a luxury. She just wanted to end it all quickly, return home, and return to the arms of her parents.

"By the way, do the emperor and the queen know about this trip out of the palace? I have offended the queen about what happened last time. Niuniu, you must be a good princess and let the emperor and queen worry. Good boy, mother, incompetent .”

Niuniu hugged her mother tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew her mother's worries and helplessness, and she also understood that she had a heavy responsibility. She couldn't let her mother and the emperor down, she wanted to be a good princess and make everyone proud of her.

So, Niu Niu straightened her back, her eyes shining with determination. She nodded vigorously and said softly: "Mom, don't worry, I will do it."

She knew that from this moment on, she was no longer the willful little girl, but had to shoulder the important responsibility of a country's princess. Every move, every word and deed of hers is related to the well-being of the country and the people.

So, Niu Niu silently swore in her heart that she must be a good princess and live up to the expectations of her mother and the emperor. She must bravely face all challenges and difficulties for the benefit of the country and the people. Liang Shuyan and Niu Niu said goodbye reluctantly. A strong emotion surged through her heart, and the scenery in front of her became blurry. She knew that she was about to enter a strange world, while Niu Niu would stay in the palace and live a completely different life from hers.

Liang Shuyan held Niu Niu's hand tightly, and she could feel Niu Niu's trembling and nervousness. Her eyes were full of worry and reluctance, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, trying to bring some comfort to Niu Niu.

"You must be careful in the palace." Liang Shuyan warned, "Don't trust others easily, and don't let others see your thoughts. People here are complicated, so you have to pay attention to everything."

When Mrs. Jin saw Liang Shuyan and Niu Niu reluctant to leave, she let out a sigh of relief: "Niu Niu, you are a princess now. You must always remember your identity and think about this place. You are disobeying the emperor and empress. Therefore, don't think about it." We are at home, and all the brothers at home are fine, and your mother will also protect us. We just hope that Niuniu can find a good family in the future."

Mrs. Jin's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Liang Shuyan's heart.

She knew that from now on she would embark on a road of no return, far away from her hometown and her relatives.

Looking at Niuniu's young face, her eyes were full of reluctance.

Niu Niu held her hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but they never fell.

The scene seemed to have stopped, leaving only the two figures reluctant to leave. People around were watching silently, with a bit of regret on everyone's face.

When the county magistrate learned that the princess had arrived in Daling Village, he came to Liang Shuyan's house without stopping.

"Wei Chen is guilty, please ask the princess to atone!"

Niu Niu sorted out her emotions, took out her identity as a princess, and walked over: "What crime?"

"Wei Chen just received a report from the masses that there was a group of bandits in Dongshan who wanted to murder the emperor, so Wei Chen led people to capture the real culprit. He arrived late and did not meet Her Royal Highness in time. Please calm down the princess."

Niu Niu was shocked, Dongshan bandit? She vaguely remembered that when she was discussing with Song Zheng that day, he said that there was a group of bandits in Dongshan who acted ruthlessly and did not follow common sense, but Niu Niu never thought that they would be so bold as to murder the emperor.

"You mean, the emperor is in danger?" Niu Niu tried her best to stay calm. She glanced at the guard and saw that he was covered in dust, obviously after a fierce battle.

"Your Highness, the Emperor should be in a safe place now. Our people have taken control of the situation, but we must rush over immediately." The guard said with anxious eyes.
