Jun Ning was not joking; he was very serious.
And his words, at first glance, seemed fine, and quite reasonable.
Qiong Hua was intimidated by Jun Ning's demeanor and nodded vigorously, saying, "For the safety of the two of us, Mother will listen to you."
If Qiong Hua knew what happened after Jun Ning sneaked out earlier, and his so-called countermeasures, she certainly wouldn't be fooled by his words. Not getting physical with him would already be very gracious.
The two of them arrived at the hole Jun Ning usually used to sneak out of the palace. The hole wasn't very big and was hidden in the lush grass, making it hard to find.
Jun Ning crawled through the hole with ease, but it wasn't so easy for Qiong Hua to get out.
After all, Qiong Hua was an adult, and no matter how frail her body was, it was much larger than a child's. She used quite some effort to finally squeeze out, but her clothes, which she had changed into that morning, were filthy. However, she didn't mind.
