The emperor ordered everyone to stay in the carriages and not go anywhere.
No one dared to say anything about such an arrangement on the surface, but there would always be people complaining in private.
There was still a little distance to the hunting ground. What was the little princess trying to do?
If she wasn’t feeling well, it would be the same if she were to take a rest after arriving at the palace abode!
Why did she have to drag the hundred or so of them here together with her?
However, they soon couldn’t even say a word of complaint.
Thunder suddenly sounded from the horizon, approaching from afar.
The sky that was still filled with light just now immediately turned dark.
Strong wind blew over from the mountains, and bean-sized raindrops hit the carriage, making crackling sounds.
Gu Yihan picked up Gu Nuo’er from Noble Consort Qiao’s arms.
He hugged his daughter tightly and stroked her soft black hair. “Baby Nuo, don’t be afraid. Father is here.”
The child looked up, her eyes sparkling. “Father, I’m not afraid!”
This was the Uncle Thunder God beating the drum. She was also very familiar with Auntie Rain God!
Moreover, she was a small fish. Where there was water, she was the most comfortable.
However, such a heavy rain made the others a little flustered.
Not long later, they saw water flowing down quickly from the mountain at the side.
The child and her father leaned against the window and looked out.
The place where Gu Nuo’er had them stop was very suitable.
Even though they had many carriages, none of them were damaged.
The torrent coming down from the mountain almost brushed past their outermost edge.
However, they gathered into a meandering stream on the ground and gradually became as wide as a small river.
It was obvious that the rain was getting heavier.
Suddenly, a scream came from behind their carriage.
Gu Nuo’er quickly turned around, but the rain was too heavy and she was too far away to see what was happening.
Noble Consort Qiao felt very uneasy and grabbed Gu Nuo’er’s small hand tightly. “Baby Nuo, let Mother carry you, alright?”
The child shook her head. “Mother, sit properly. Baby Nuo is lying here and can see clearly.”
She had to keep an eye at all times. Perhaps, if there was an emergency, she would have to save people!
Baby Nuo might be young, but she was smart and omnipotent!
Gu Yihan also heard the sound. He frowned and called Chunshou over.
Eunuch Chunshou raised his umbrella and anxiously arranged for the officials to sit in the carriage and not come out.
When he heard that the emperor had summoned him, he quickly ran over while stepping on the stream.
“Your Majesty, what orders do you have?” Eunuch Chunshou wiped the water off his face.
Gu Yihan asked, “I heard a cry just now. Go to the back and see if some reckless and disobedient person ran out again.
“If that’s the case, ask them to go further away if they want to die. Don’t die near me. Otherwise, they’ll scare Baby Nuo.”
When Chunshou received the order, he went to check.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nuo’er called out to him softly.
“Uncle Chunshou, this is for you~” The child reached out her fair and soft hand, holding a black chess piece that she had casually taken out from the chess box at the side.
Chunshou only treated it as a child’s whim.
However, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly received the black piece with both hands respectfully.
“Thank you for the reward, Princess.”
The emperor’s things were all good items. These black and white chess pieces were all made of good jade!
It was very good for him to have gotten one of them.
However, Gu Nuo’er’s pink lips were soft and her gaze was clear. “This is to ensure your safety. The roads on the mountain are slippery from the rain. Uncle Chunshou, you have to be careful!”
