After walking out of the courtyard, Tang Jinlan made her way in the direction of the Grand Prince’s palace.
On this journey, although she encountered a few waves of patrolling internal guards, she was not hindered too much.
A few moments later, Tang Jinlan arrived at the entrance of the Grand Prince’s palace.
At the entrance, a team of royal inner guards were guarding the place, their expressions serious and not comparable to ordinary inner guards at first glance.
Tang Jinlan was not familiar with the palace and did not expect to appear directly in the view of these inner guards.
She was just about to change her route, but those inner guards had already spoken.
“Who is it, what are you doing here?!”
The inner guards asked in an icy voice.
Unavoidable, Tang Jinlan could only walk straight up with a stiff upper lip.
Afterwards, Tang Jinlan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, “In reply to your Excellency, I am a showgirl who came to participate in today’s selection, I accidentally got lost just now, so I beg your character to facilitate and let me in.”
Tang Jinlan put on a soft and weak look.
“A showgirl?”
That head of the inner guards looked Tang Jinlan up and down.
What Tang Jinlan was wearing at this moment was the uniform clothing for a showgirl to participate in the talent show.
So this head of the inner guard immediately relaxed his guard a lot.
Moreover, seeing the beauty of the woman in front of him, she was indeed extremely rare. With such beauty, she would definitely be able to be seen by the Grand Prince in the future, even if she became the Crown Princess or even the future Empress, it was possible.
The head of the inner guards had been in the palace for so long, so he still had this insight.
He could already tell that once this woman entered the palace and was seen by the Grand Prince, she would definitely become a phoenix in the future.
Such a good opportunity to make friends with a noble person, how could this head of the inner guards miss it.
“I see, you are too polite, from my point of view, you will definitely have a good result in this election, and we will need more care from you in the future, Your Highness!”
The head of the inner guard said with a smile on his face.
Seeing such a polite attitude from the head of the inner guards, even Tang Jinlan felt a little surprised.
“Why don’t I personally show you the way, do you think it would be good?”
This head of the inner guard said respectfully.
“This …… is not necessary, you are on official business, I will not bother you, I will just go in by myself.”
Tang Jinlan hurriedly refused.
“That’s fine, then your honorable servant, please enter!”
The head of the inner guards made a gesture of invitation.
“Many thanks.”
Tang Jinlan nodded, and hurriedly walked in.
It was only when she entered the palace that Tang Jinlan finally sighed in relief.
Things were going much more smoothly than she had imagined.
Tang Jinlan made her way through the palace and soon found the location of the courtyard the inner guard had mentioned earlier.
The courtyard was small and remote, the most inconspicuous place even in the entire palace.
When Tang Jinlan saw that no one was around, she leapt into the courtyard wall.
Immediately, when Tang Jinlan looked into the courtyard, her eyes lit up.
She saw at once that in the courtyard room, a familiar figure was sitting behind a desk, writing something.
Who else could it be if not grandfather Tang Dingyuan!
When she finally saw her grandfather, Tang Jinlan was so excited that she almost cried out in surprise.
Luckily, she still had her senses intact, and then she saw that behind her grandfather Tang Dingyuan, a sturdy slave was standing guard.
She heard the slave scold Tang Dingyuan in a cold voice, “Damn old man, write quickly, our grand prince is still waiting to see it!”
Tang Dingyuan rubbed his sore wrist and said in a deep voice, “I’ve been writing for days on end, can’t I even take a break?”
Ever since he was caught here a few days ago, Tang Dingyuan had been asked to write out everything about the secular world, including the current state of the political situation, technological development and all sorts of other things.
In the past few days, Tang had to rest for at most three or four hours a day, and spend the rest of his time writing.
If he dared to slacken off, he would be greeted by the mistreatment of the slaves, and Tang was in deep despair!
At this moment, when he heard Tang Dingyuan’s screams of suffering, the slave snorted coldly.
“Rest? Are you f*cking qualified to rest?! Our Grand Prince will come over to see what you’ve written after he chooses his concubine, if you delay our Grand Prince’s pleasure, can you f*cking afford to pay for it!”
The house slave rushed at Tang Dingyuan and cursed angrily.
When Tang Jinlan on the courtyard wall heard this, her heart burst with anger.
She did not expect that her grandfather would be treated so unjustly here.
And at that moment, Tang Dingyuan was also a little bit unable to bear it anymore.
He had been writing for so many days in a row, his wrists were so painful that they were about to break, and his entire spirit had been completely overdrawn.
He just couldn’t hold on any longer.
“Whatever, I just can’t write anymore, I really need to take a break!”
Tang Dingyuan really couldn’t carry on this time, and with that, he simply put down his pen.
However, just as he put down his pen, he heard a “pop!” There was a crunching sound.
The slave suddenly swung the whip in his hand and struck Tang Dingyuan directly on the back.
Tang Dingyuan’s back was instantly split open and blood flowed.
“Damn it, I’m not giving you face! I tell you, you writers are no better than animals in my eyes! If you don’t want to die, keep writing for me!”
The slave cursed.
Tang Dingyuan’s face was grim as he endured the pain and said, “Fine, if you have the guts, just beat me to death and see if your master will blame you!”
“Damn you, I think you’re looking for death!”
The slave was completely enraged, and waved the leather whip in his hand, and struck down again towards Tang Dingyuan’s body.
“PAP PAP PAP!”
The sound of the whip striking was extremely loud.
The force of the whip was so great that it was embedded in the flesh, causing blood to flow from Tang Dingyuan.
Just as the slave lifted the whip and was about to strike down again, he suddenly found that the whip in his hand had been grabbed from behind.
“Hm?!”
With a puzzled cry, this household slave turned his head.
Immediately afterwards, he saw that a beautiful woman was standing behind him.
Her gaze was grim and her eyes were full of hatred as she looked at herself.
“Who the f*ck are you …… and how dare you meddle in the affairs of our Eastern Palace!”
The household slave shouted angrily at the other party.
“I am the one who sent you to your death!”
Tang Jinlan coldly snorted and shouted.
As she spoke, a fierce electric aura struck out from Tang Jinlan’s hand.
Like a venomous snake, the bolt followed the leather whip all the way up and instantly struck the slave’s eyes!
