Chapter 471: She’s gone

The horse carriage finally stopped .

Chen Ning knew this destination .  She had once again returned to this cage like king’s palace .

She took in a deep breath and stood up .  Since she had made her decision, she would not have any regrets .

The royal palace was not her safe haven and she could not hide in there forever .  She had to face this problem and solve it eventually .

She did not like facing a battle that she did not have control of .  Before she rid herself of the Ding Yuan Princess title, she did not want to face Chu Shao Yang again .

But she had to save Xiao Ru from Chu Shao Yang’s hands .

When she opened the curtain and prepared to exit the horse carriage, she was suddenly stunned .

The horse carriage did not stop at the King Ding Yuan palace’s gates, rather it was stopped in a remote, small alley .

The dark dusk light made the alley very dark, creating a sinister environment .

“Who are you?  Why did you bring the horse carriage here?”

Chen Ning’s eyes fell onto the driver .  He was wearing the clothes of an imperial guard with her back facing her .

When the driver heard this, they slowly turned around .  Their head was pressed down, making their face unseen .

He stood up and slowly walked towards Chen Ning step by step .

For an instant, she thought that the guard was Mo Chuan in disguise .

But it wasn’t!

He was a head shorter than Mo Chuan and his body was also thinner .  The whip it held in one hand was black and thick .

“Stop!”  She reprimanded in a cold voice, but that driver did not care and continued moving towards her .

She couldn’t help moving back until she went back inside the carriage .  Her back hit the cold carriage wall and she could move back no further .

At this moment, the King Ding Yuan palace’s entrance was completely decorated .  There was a row of large red lanterns that could be seen from far away .

Chu Shao Yang was wearing a duck green brocaded long robe, making his figure look tall and straight .  His face was like jade and a spirited look filled his handsome face .

There were many citizens looking from afar, thinking that his highness was welcoming a new bride home .  They could not whispering to each other, talking about this .

“Someone go and see why the princess’ horse carriage isn’t here yet!”

Chu Shao Yang looked down the long street .  He had already waited an incense worth of time, but he didn’t even see the shadow of the horse carriage, making him more and more worried .

“Yes, your highness . ”  A dark figure appeared out of thin air and quickly disappeared into the darkness .

The smile on Chu Shao Yang’s face slowly froze .  He turned his eyes towards the direction of the palace and his heart flashed with a trace of anxiety .

Did she suddenly change her mind and not want to come back?

Or did a new problem with the Empress Dowager suddenly appear?

But he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and carriage wheels coming closer .  His tense face couldn’t help relaxing as the smile on his lips became wider .

A palace horse carriage came through the night, appearing in his line of sight .

It’s her!  She’s here!

Chu Shao Yang was filled with energy as he walked down the stairs with a smile .  When the horse carriage stopped, he found the driver was the hidden guard that he just sent out .

The hidden guard jumped down from the carriage and kneeled in front of Chu Shao Yang with a look filled with panic .

“Reporting to your highness .  Something bad has happened . The Princess Consort… . . is gone!”

“What did you say?”

Chu Shao Yang’s expression changed .  He did not even think as he jumped onto the horse carriage and ripped apart the curtain, seeing that there was not a trace of a human in the cart .

Impossible!  This was impossible!

He had sent the hidden guard to watch her carriage, so how could she be gone!
