Zhan Doudou looked at Haitang Duoduo worriedly. She clearly noticed that Haitang Duoduo's body was trembling slightly.

This shocked her greatly. Haitang Duoduo was Ku He's last disciple, and her cultivation had already reached the ninth level. Why did she suddenly vomit blood? Could it be related to the letter she read?

Thinking of this, Zhan Doudou couldn't help but look at the letter in Haitang Duoduo's hand. Haitang Duoduo finally reacted. She found that Zhan Doudou was actually reading the letter, and she screamed in panic.

"Your Majesty, don't look."

But it was too late. Zhan Doudou had already seen the contents of the letter clearly. Apart from the twelve words that Haitang Duoduo had just read, there was only one big word left.

war!

"War letter?"

Zhan Doudou was confused. Obviously, this was a declaration of war. Someone wanted to challenge Ku He, one of the four great masters?

Haitang Duoduo was also very surprised to see that Zhan Doudou was fine after reading the letter.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"What's the matter? Little Sister, why did you vomit blood just now?"

Haitang Duoduo frowned, also confused.

"I saw the last word 'war' in the letter and felt a terrifying sword intent. My Qi was out of control and my blood was surging. That's why I vomited blood."

"Sword intention? This word has sword intention? It can make you, a ninth-rank junior sister, spit blood? Then why is it okay for me to see it?"

"I don't understand either, but this is indeed a letter of challenge. Someone wants to challenge Master. How dare he do so? And he has such a strong sword intention. Could it be Si Gu Jian? This shouldn't be the case. Why would Si Gu Jian suddenly challenge Master?"

Haitang Duoduo was suspicious and had no idea what was going on, so she could only make random guesses.

The Queen Mother did not see the letter, but she understood what was going on.

"Someone challenged the Emperor's uncle to a duel? But if he challenged the Emperor's uncle, why would he leave the letter in Pian Pian's palace and take Pian Pian away? Is he really a Grandmaster? Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enter and leave the palace at will and take people away without being discovered by the guards."

Zhan Doudou didn't have time to think about it and immediately opened another letter. This letter was indeed in Zhan Pianpian's handwriting and the content was very simple. It said that she wanted to go outside the palace to take a look and she would come back by herself. There was no need to worry about her or look for her in a high-profile manner.

After reading the letter, she did not say anything, but asked people to leave again.

"Mother guessed correctly. My sister did leave the palace. But judging from her handwriting and tone, it doesn't seem like she was forced to leave. It seems more like she left voluntarily."

"Little Sister, are you okay?"

Haitang Duoduo said: "I spit out a mouthful of blood and I feel much better now."

"Just one word on a piece of paper made the little nun spit blood. Could the person who left the letter really be the Grandmaster, Si Gu Jian?"

Although the little emperor Zhan Doudou is young, he is also a very smart person. But now he is full of confusion because of this letter, and he is also deeply afraid.

Someone actually broke into the palace and took people away. During this period, the guards in the palace did not find any abnormalities or warnings. If the other party wanted to assassinate someone, wouldn't it be very easy to do it? It's scary to think about it.

Haitang Duoduo also frowned. She had been staying in the palace the whole time, and even she didn't notice anything unusual. The man who sneaked into the palace, issued a challenge, and took the eldest princess away was really terrifying.

The only person she could think of was the Grand Master.

"If it involves a Grandmaster, it's not something I can handle. Since it's a declaration of war to Master, then Master has to handle it."

Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother both agreed that it was no problem to let them handle matters in the court, but if it involved a grandmaster, they would have no way to deal with it.

"August 15th, the night of the full moon, what day is today?"

"July 29th."

"That is to say, there is still half a month left. The top of the Forbidden City, does that mean the top of the Imperial Palace? Only a Grandmaster who is not bound by common sense can treat the imperial power as nothing!"

Zhan Doudou asked a few more people to try to read the declaration of war, and then they found the problem. The higher the cultivation level of the person, the more easily they would be affected when they saw the last word "war", especially the ninth-rank masters, whose true energy would boil after seeing it.

On the contrary, ordinary people who have no true energy in their bodies are not affected at all when they see this declaration of war.

This strange situation made them even more certain that the one who issued the challenge was most likely a grandmaster, because even a master above the ninth rank would not have such an inhuman ability to injure a ninth rank master from a distance.

But Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother were also very rational. They immediately blocked the news and even covered up the disappearance of Zhan Pianpian.

However, they secretly sent people to search for Zhan Pianpian in Shangjing City. Since Zhan Pianpian followed the person who issued the challenge, if they found Zhan Pianpian, they should be able to find the mysterious man.

Chapter 1420 Happy Princess, Jinyiwei

"how is it going?"

Zhan Pianpian was wearing a goose yellow long skirt. She pinched the hem of her skirt, turned around in front of Zhou Chen, and asked with anticipation.

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "No, the color is too plain and quiet, and it doesn't match your personality and aura."

"What do you mean, are you saying I have a bad personality?"

Zhan Pianpian asked very dissatisfiedly, it's just putting on clothes, why does it have to do with personality and aura? It wasn't so troublesome for her to put on clothes in the palace.

When she came to this clothing store, she had already changed six sets of clothes. It was quite troublesome for women in ancient times to change clothes. After changing six sets of clothes, she was really exhausted.

"I'm the one buying the clothes, why should I listen to you?"

"Only if I pay."

"you."

Zhan Pianpian was so angry that her teeth itched. She had reason to suspect that Zhou Chen did it on purpose by not allowing her to take gold, silver and jewelry when she left the palace.

"Try the red one again."

Zhan Pianpian pouted and glared at Zhou Chen angrily, but still obediently walked into the inner room to change clothes.

After a while, Zhan Pianpian came out in a red dress, and Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This one is good, let's take it. Also, pack up the blue one from before."

Zhan Pianpian breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and asked, "Is this one really nice looking?"

The shopkeeper beside him also praised with a smile on his face: "Madam, your husband has a good taste. This dress looks really good on you..."

"We are not a couple."

Zhan Pianpian's eager explanation made the shopkeeper a little at a loss, but the businessman was thick-skinned enough.

"It's my fault. I said the wrong thing. You two are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

Their faces were full of ingratiating smiles. If they were not husband and wife, then they were an engaged couple. They were all the same, all the same.

Zhan Pianpian wanted to explain again: "We are not..."

"Okay, boss, let's settle the bill."

Zhou Chen asked the shopkeeper to pack the clothes, and then took Zhan Pianpian out of the store.

Zhan Pianpian asked depressedly: "Why didn't you explain it just now?"

"What do you want to explain? Explain that we are fine? It's fine that I, a man, will take you clothes shopping?"

"Don't worry about what others think. You won't see them again anyway, so it's just a waste of time."

Zhan Pianpian felt that what Zhou Chen said was wrong, but she couldn't find a reason to refute. Seeing Zhou Chen walking in front of her carrying her clothes, she smiled sweetly and followed him in small jumps.

It’s great that no one knows me. I don’t have to remember the rules all the time, whether sitting, lying down or walking, and pay attention to my image everywhere.

"Zhou Chen, where are we going next?"

"Sugar-coated haws."

Zhou Chen pointed to a vendor selling candied haws in front of him, bought two and gave them all to Zhan Pianpian. Zhan Pianpian happily took one in his left hand and one in his right hand, as happy as a five-year-old child.

"What is that, Zhou Chen, look at that, is it a horse? Why are there two such big bumps on its back?"

What the hell are these two big lumps!

Zhou Chen looked in the direction of Zhan Pianpian's finger and almost burst out laughing. Camels and horses, apart from the fact that they both have four legs, there are no other similarities between them.

You mistook a camel for a horse, and it even has two big bumps on it. Princess, are you trying to make me laugh to death?

"That's not a horse, that's a camel."

But he was also wondering why there were camels in Shangjing City?

Zhan Pianpian looked confused: "Camel? What is that? Is it a relative of the horse?"

This child is really hopeless. If she sees a deer, she would probably mistake it for a horse.

Along the way, Zhan Pianpian was like a little kid who knew nothing. Whenever he saw something interesting or something he had never seen before, he would excitedly pull Zhou Chen to ask about it. Only after getting Zhou Chen's permission would he touch or take it.

Zhou Chen turned into a parent taking care of the child, constantly explaining things to Zhan Pianpian, and was often amused by her silly train of thought.

Although Zhan Pianpian was a princess, she was curious and happy about everything she saw, probably because she finally got to go out. She followed Zhou Chen for more than an hour without complaining of being tired.

"hungry?"

"Not hungry."

Zhou Chen also felt that his question was in vain. She had been eating all the way, so how could she be hungry?

But it was already noon and the sun was shining brightly.

"You're not hungry, but I am. Let's go to the restaurant and find a place to sit down and rest. After dinner, I'll take you to see other places."

"Okay, okay."

Zhan Pianpian was very happy. After just one morning, she had completely lost her guard against Zhou Chen and even had a strong sense of trust in him. If Zhou Chen was not around, she would definitely not dare to walk around the street alone.

Zhou Chen found a restaurant with a nice environment, sat down by the window on the second floor, and casually ordered seven or eight dishes.

Zhan Pianpian studied the katydid that Zhou Chen had just bought for her and found this little insect very interesting.

Zhou Chen glanced around, revealing a half-smile, and then said to Zhan Pianpian: "Wait for me here, I'm going out to buy something."

But Zhan Pianpian grabbed his clothes with a nervous look on her face.

"Where are you going? You can't leave me behind. I don't have any money."

Zhou Chen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I brought you here, I will definitely be responsible and will not abandon you."

Seeing that she was still worried, Zhou Chen took out a silver ingot and gave it to her.

"I'll be back soon."

"Then you have to hurry up. I'm alone and a little scared and nervous." Zhan Pianpian seemed uneasy.

Zhou Chen smiled at her comfortingly before turning around and going downstairs.

Of course, he didn't leave for no reason. When he took Zhan Pianpian shopping before, he had already discovered that someone was following them, but he just ignored it.

This is Shangjing City, the power center of Northern Qi. The Northern Qi Jinyiwei has a very strong influence here. They may not know Zhou Chen, but Zhan Pianpian, the eldest princess of Northern Qi, is quite conspicuous. It is not difficult to find them with a full search.

They were discovered but no action was taken. It was obviously an order from above. It seemed that the declaration of war he left behind had a deterrent effect, but it was still not enough.

In an open-air teahouse not far from the restaurant, two men in ordinary clothes were sitting and drinking tea. However, if you look closely, you will find that they are not talking and laughing like the other guests. While drinking tea, their eyes are always staring towards the second floor of the restaurant.

Suddenly, a figure sat down in the empty seat next to them. Both of them looked over unconsciously, but the next moment, their breathing stagnated.

"You two seem surprised to see me." Zhou Chen asked with a smile on his face and a soft tone.

But the two men did not dare to relax, because they were responsible for tracking, but they were found by the real owner, and it was obvious that this person had discovered them.

"Don't be nervous. I know why you are following me. You are from the Royal Guards, right? Did Shen Zhong send you here?"

The two men's expressions suddenly changed, but before they could take any action, Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly widened, and the two men felt a terrifying aura coming at them. The true energy that erupted from Zhou Chen's body made them unable to even move their fingers.

"I won't kill you, but you go back and tell Shen Zhong that you can follow me, but it's best not to get within thirty feet. Otherwise, he won't be able to withstand the wrath of the Grand Master."

After saying this, Zhou Chen slowly stood up and walked to the small stall next to him under their gaze.

But even after Zhou Chen left, they were still unable to move. Their whole bodies seemed stiff and they couldn't move even a finger.

The two were extremely shocked. They were both experts in the Jinyiwei, with the strength of the seventh rank. If they joined forces, they could even defeat the eighth rank.

But just a look from Zhou Chen made them break out in cold sweat and unable to move. If the other party wanted to kill them, it would be easier than killing a chicken. It was really terrifying.

They were just following orders to find someone, who would have thought they would encounter such a terrifying existence.

It was not until Zhou Chen bought something unknown and returned to the second floor of the restaurant that they finally regained control of their bodies.

"Whirring whirring……"

The two of them were gasping for breath, like drowning people being rescued from the shore.

After resuming their actions, they looked at each other, then stood up and left at the same time without hesitation, preparing to go back and report.

Ever since Zhou Chen left, Zhan Pianpian had been feeling uneasy. It was not until Zhou Chen came back that she began to smile brightly again.

"Yes, I bought it for you."
