Chapter 1166

Mo Chuan knew that although she was smiling, she would not change her mind once she made a decision.

"Alright, it's fine if you want to see him alone, but I have to stand guard outside the window. If you find anything wrong, immediately release the 'Peacock Tail', do you understand?" He said in a serious voice.

"I understand." She forcefully nodded.

Chu Shao Yang was placed under house arrest in a side palace outside the Cold Palace, which was located in the outer city of the royal palace.

Although he was a relative of the royal family, he was still considered a foreign minister. He could not be summoned, so he could not stay in the inner city and could not enter the emperor's harem.

When Mo Chuan and Chen Ning arrived at the side palace, the sky had already darkened. The light of dusk overlapped and covered the entire side palace.

Once they stepped through the door, a cold and damp air hit them in the face.

This side palace had not been inhabited for a long time, so it was empty and desolate.

In a side room beside the main hall, there was a pea-sized lamp that reflected a slender figure on the paper window.

Although the figure was blurred by the candle light, Chen Ning could still recognize it with a single glance.

That was Chu Shao Yang!

Her steps couldn't help stopping as she stood on the steps of the side palace. Looking at that blurry figure, she bit her lower lip.

The last time she saw him was at her empress coronation. His gloomy eyes and lonely face seemed to appear in front of her again.

That high spirited and overflowing Chu Shao Yang had disappeared.

He had changed, becoming a stranger that she did not recognize.

Chu Shao Yang's figure did not move for a long time. It was like he had turned into a statue, silently standing in the room.

Chen Ning did not move either. She suddenly felt her heart start to beat erratically and her face instantly turned pale. She raised her hand to her chest and her body slightly swayed.

"What's wrong?" Mo Chuan supported her. Seeing her pale face, his heart filled with worry as he asked in a soft voice, "Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

Chen Ning closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Opening her eyes, she revealed a smile to Mo Chuan.

"I'm fine."

Her eyes looked at the layers of imperial guards outside the side palace before turning around. She walked down the steps and walked step by step towards the room Chu Shao Yang was in.

Mo Chuan tightly held her hand and felt her fingertips turn cold, gently trembling in his palm. His heart also began to fill with worry.

Was the decision to let her see Chu Shao Yang wrong?

He suddenly wanted to regret it and stopped his steps.

"Ning 'er, don't go in."

Chen Ning looked back at him and saw the worry in his eyes. She slightly rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "He's not a tiger, could he eat me? "Just wait for me here, I'll go in myself."

"Just wait for me here, I'll go in myself."

What kind of person Chu Shao Yang was, he knew it better than her. When he went crazy, he was like a tiger coming down the mountain. If he hurt her, it would be too late for regrets!

He suddenly felt a shiver and felt even more like he had made the wrong decision.

He suddenly felt a chill run and he realized.

Chu Shao Yang's heart for her was very strong and he was a headstrong person. His martial arts were very strong and she didn't know any martial arts at all. Wasn't this sending her to the tiger's den?

"This matter has nothing to do with you, so I can't let you take the risk for me. Even if there is a little bit of danger, I won't let you go in!"

"No, Mo Chuan, I want to go!"
