A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Chapter 156 The Empress Invites You...

After class, the students got up and left the study.

Niannian calmly packed her books, carefully put them into her schoolbag, then slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and walked lightly toward her home.

Just then, Pei Chang'an, clutching a hand that was swollen and red like a steamed bun, came to Niannian with a wronged expression.

He looked at Niannian pitifully, muttering repeatedly, "Niannian, why didn't you help me just now? Why didn't you plead with the master?"

Upon hearing this, Niannian couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, and replied irritably:

"Hmph, it's all because you were naughty in class and didn't pay attention. You only have yourself to blame, so you can't blame anyone else!"

Honestly, it's his own fault for causing trouble, yet he's blaming her...

After saying that, Nian continued walking forward without looking back, leaving Pei Chang'an standing there, staring blankly at her receding figure, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Pei Chang'an wanted to say something, but Pei Yunjing grabbed him.

"Chang'an, stop fooling around. The country is facing a major crisis, and we must also take responsibility. Let's not make the Grand Tutor and Father Emperor worry anymore."

Seeing this situation, Pei Chang'an was somewhat dissatisfied, but he could only mutter a few complaints under his breath before wisely ceasing to pursue the matter further.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the same time, Nian Nian, like a cheerful little rabbit, hopped and skipped to the gate where she and Li Ma Fu had agreed to meet beforehand.

Just as she was about to successfully step out of the door, a shout suddenly came from behind her.

"Princess Nian Nian, please wait!"

Upon hearing the voice, Niannian quickly turned around and looked around. She saw Emerald leading a group of people, panting and running towards her.

Seeing this, Niannian felt a sense of foreboding and knew she had to run away as fast as she could!

So she smiled at Emerald and said, "Well, how about we talk about this later? My father-in-law is waiting for me to come home so we can have dinner together!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Niannian turned around and ran forward as fast as she could.

Unfortunately, despite running as fast as she could with all her might, Nian Nian was still no match for the agile Emerald.

Soon, Emerald grabbed Niannian's little hand and said in a voice that clearly carried a hint of annoyance:

"Princess, Her Majesty the Empress requests your presence!"

Niannian desperately wanted to break free from Emerald's hands that were tightly gripping her, but no matter how hard she tried, she seemed to have no strength at all.

Left with no other choice, she had to lower herself and plead in a soft voice:

"Oh dear, if I can't get back on time, my father will definitely be furious! He's terrifying when he gets angry!"

And it's not just about getting angry, Niannian knows very well that, given how much her father, Nanxing, dotes on her.

If this time I don't come home on time again, and make him worry and keep him waiting;

Who knows, Father Nanxing might actually turn the entire palace upside down in a fit of anger!

After all, last time it was because he was playing around that poor Li the stableman was punished unjustly...

Emerald narrowed her eyes slightly, staring coldly ahead, her lips tightly pressed together, saying nothing.

However, in the next second, she quickly gave the palace maid beside her a subtle wink.

The palace maid nodded knowingly, and then deftly took out a snow-white handkerchief from her bosom.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward and covered Niannian's mouth and nose.

In an instant, a strange and pungent smell rushed into Niannian's nasal cavity and mouth along with her breath.

The smell was very strange, like a strong fragrance of some unknown herbs mixed together, but with a nauseating fishy smell.

Almost the instant she smelled the scent, an unprecedentedly intense feeling of weakness and exhaustion surged forth like a tidal wave, sweeping over Nian Nian's entire body with overwhelming force.

She felt her once powerful limbs suddenly become weak and powerless, as if all her strength had been drained from her body in an instant.

Her head felt unusually heavy, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on it, making it difficult for her to even perform a simple action like raising her head.

At the same time, the scene before her eyes began to blur, and everything around her seemed to be spinning and shaking, making her dizzy and unable to distinguish east from west.

"Help……"

Niannian tried her best to shout for help, but the sound that came out of her throat was so weak;

The sound was so faint that it was swallowed up by the surrounding noise and commotion before it could even travel far.

At this moment, she was filled with fear and despair, but her body was completely out of her control, and she was unable to make any more effective struggles.

Just a few seconds later, Niannian's consciousness drifted away rapidly, becoming increasingly blurry, like a kite with a broken string.

Finally, she could no longer hold on, and her whole body collapsed limply onto the cold, hard ground like a lump of mud, completely losing consciousness.

"Hmph, take him away! Quickly bring him back to Fengyi Palace!" Emerald gave the order expressionlessly.

As soon as she finished speaking, several strong palace maids immediately stepped forward;

He effortlessly lifted the unconscious Niannian, then hurriedly headed towards Fengyi Palace.

At this moment, Li Ma Fu, who had been waiting outside the door, finally noticed the unusual commotion inside.

When he finally saw what was happening before him, he was utterly shocked.

He instinctively wanted to rush in and rescue Niannian from danger, but when his eyes fell on the palace maids and the insignia on their clothes, he stopped in his tracks.

Because he knew perfectly well that these people were the Empress's trusted confidants.

If someone of your lowly status were to rashly step forward to stop her, not only would they fail to rescue Niannian, but they might also bring about their own demise.

Left with no other choice, Li the coachman could only suppress his anxiety and unease, turn around and quickly climb into the carriage, raising his whip to lash the horse's back.

With a crisp crack of the whip, the horse neighed and galloped away.

"drive!!!"

Li Mafu needed to get to Pei Nanxing as soon as possible to deliver the message and hopefully save Nian Nian's life.

After an incense stick had burned, inside the Pei Prince's residence...

When Pei Nanxing heard Li Mafu rush back to report, his face immediately turned gloomy.
