Ruan Yuyi seemed to have just come back to her senses, grabbing Mu Xiang and trying to slip away from the gap between the two of them. Perhaps they didn't expect that the little lady who turned pale with fright still had the energy to run away.
They actually ran to the alley.
But in the end, she was no longer as strong as the man. Ruan Yuyi was grabbed by the arm and brought back. The injured area was just touched, and all the blood on her face faded. Even when she was pressed against the wall by her neck and hit hard on the back of her head, she was still injured.
No arm pain.
She tried her best to squint her eyes in the direction of Mu Xiang and found that she was also being restrained.
Her ears were filled with the other party's obscene words, and the pain in the injury continued to expand. She closed her eyes tightly, but it could not be relieved by half.
Not far away was the market. The light of day came through and fell on the ground paved with bluestones. Occasionally, a few passers-by noticed the situation here, but they all ignored it.
Ruan Yuyi's heart dropped and became colder by the inch.
She didn't know who else she could count on to save her.
The pressure on her neck made her feel like she was about to be pushed into the wall. With trembling hands, she pulled out the hairpin on the right side of her bun and stabbed the other person's face hard.
What I was thinking about was that I would have to wear an ugly face and be as broken as a mirror.
But the other party naturally didn't give her this chance. He grabbed her wrist and said with a sinister smile, "Young lady, it's better not to use such a dangerous object or hurt yourself."
As he spoke, he took away her hairpin and gestured at her bright face, with threats in his words.
She tilted her head and cried in fear.
At this moment, a tall man wearing a brocade robe walked up from the alley. He walked calmly, and the shadow under his feet disappeared into the shadow of the alley inch by inch.
"You dare to take action against this girl. You should worry more about yourself." Although his voice was gentle, his words were cold and seemed to penetrate deep into people's bones.
It's Wen Pheasant.
Ruan Yuyi knew that she had been saved, so she loosened her clenched hands, barely held back her tears, and looked sideways.
The merchant who restrained her was stunned for a moment, with a look of fear in his eyes, "Who are you! Even the government can't control us, why are you meddling in our own business?"
Wen Zhi had a decent smile on his lips, but underneath his face was a cold look. He said leisurely, "I'll take care of it from now on." As he said that, he walked forward.
When the new emperor governs the country, it is impossible for him to personally take care of everything. When various matters are reported, many people have already been separated, so it is inevitable for oversights. But now that His Majesty knows about it, he will not let it go.
He walked up to the two of them. The man who restrained Mu Xiang was so frightened that he let go of his hand. He unconsciously took a few steps back and stood side by side with his companion. Wen Fei didn't give them a chance to talk anymore, and went up to take a few moves.
Then he beat the man down.
Mu Xiang took the handkerchief and rubbed the touched cheek vigorously, looking dumbfounded. It turned out that this slender and frail man had such skill, no wonder he was always by the prince's side.
Wen Zhi straightened his clothes, turned around and smiled at Ruan Yuyi, "The girl was frightened, but where was she hurt?"
She was leaning against the wall almost without strength, covering the wound on her left arm. Perhaps the wound was torn again, and a line of blood spread from under the sleeve and gathered on the hanging fingertips. She was scared.
He was still in pain, he looked dazed, and couldn't say a word.
He was still thinking that it would be appropriate for his master to do this scene of rescuing the beauty, and when he noticed her, his expression became stern.
"Our master has some friendship with the nearby shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion. Why don't you go there first to take care of things?" he arranged.
Mu Xiang was not seriously injured except for being touched by the man's lips, which made her feel sick. "I will take the young lady there right now." She nodded slightly and stepped forward to help Ruan Yuyi.
Wen Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to the master and let him know. Just stay calm, girl."
These words were meant to comfort her. He knew that the master was special to this girl, but he was not sure whether the master would come from Jingzhao Mansion for her. Originally, he just wanted her to listen and did not point his finger at her in response.
After she finished speaking, I heard her hum in a low voice.
She was really extremely weak at the moment. If Wen Zhi hadn't been able to hear well, the sound would have been blown away in the alley by the wind.
While they were talking, they saw that Xu, the two idle businessmen, had run away long ago because they had encountered a serious quarrel. Wen Zhi only glanced at each other lightly, knowing that they could not escape, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Although he wanted to report to Jiang Huaiyang, Wen Zhi was still worried, so he escorted the two girls to Linglong Pavilion and made an explanation with Liu Nanjun before turning around and leaving.
But Liu Nanjun was a little surprised when he saw her coming back, especially when he saw Wen Pheasant coming with them. Who doesn't know that this eunuch is young but has vicious methods and is highly valued by the emperor today?
, but now he takes great care of a little lady.
To be honest, he even felt a little scared.
However, when she thought about the earrings she had just brought, she suddenly felt that these were all reasonable, and she felt that it was the right choice for her to stop caring about her as soon as possible.
Liu Nanjun led the person to the inner room to rest, "Girl, sit here for now." After saying that, he left, and when he came back, he held some wound medicine and white silk in his hand, which he handed over to Mu Xiang.
Ruan Yuyi allowed Mu Xiang to clean and apply the medicine on herself. She lowered her slender eyelashes and said nothing. She also lost her usual smile. Only when she noticed that the box of wound medicine was consistent with the one given by the previous prince, her eyes were slightly disturbed.
.
Liu Nanjun saw that she was in a bad mood, so he thought of ways to talk to her, trying to divert her attention from the injury. However, he continued to ramble on, telling a lot of anecdotes since he opened the shop, and Linglong almost lost his temper.
The boss behind the pavilion also informed her, but she didn't see her eyes move.
She seemed to have sunk into some uninhabited place, struggling on her own in a state of delusion.
Jingzhao Mansion.
Jiang Huaiyang clasped his hands and sat behind the desk, his eyes as deep as a deep pool.
In front of him, Jing Zhaoyin bent down and held his hands, his forehead was dripping with sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it, "Your Majesty, please give me a few more days of grace. The capital is so big, and there are many secret forces entangled in it. If you want to find someone who has never seen his appearance,
It really takes some time.”
On the way to escort the assassin that night, several guards were not paying attention for a moment and were injured by hidden weapons. At this moment, they let the assassin slip away. Originally, the assassination was indeed of great importance, but now the new emperor has no foundation at all.
Sure, there will be an assassin in the next three to five days.
Normally, His Majesty would leave it to them to handle the matter, but for some reason, he actually intervened in person this time.
Jiang Huaiyang sneered, "You mean I shouldn't push you?" Although he didn't show any anger, his tone was leisurely and casual, and he was still playing with the official seal that Jing Zhaoyin put on the table, and he didn't have time to put it away in the future, but that
Jing Zhaoyin trembled all over after hearing this.
He pulled up his sleeve and wiped it on his forehead. The fingertips holding the sleeve were obviously trembling, "I don't dare. Three days! I will definitely capture the person within three days."
Jiang Huaiyang put the official seal back into the wooden box for him, "Then I will wait for the good news from your lord."
He has always noticed the little tricks of this group of people. He knows that if he doesn't put some pressure on them this time, they will find some excuses to stop them as time goes by, and they will naturally lose control at this time.
Let it go.
Just when Jing Zhaoyin breathed a sigh of relief, the door was suddenly pushed open, making him tremble again. Whoever was bolder, there was this person sitting inside, and he just came in.
When he caught a glimpse of the pair of black boots in his peripheral vision, he choked, thinking, this guy is someone he can't afford to offend, no wonder he could come in without announcing it.
"Master," Wen Zhi came in and bowed, "something happened over there with Miss Ruan. She is in Linglong Pavilion right now. Do you think -"
Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyang frowned slightly. Since he was injured yesterday, he didn't know how many more days to recuperate in the mansion, but he kept running out like this.
There was silence in the room for a long time. Just when Wen Zhi thought his master was about to refuse, he heard Jiang Huaiyang in front of him say in a deep voice, "What happened?"
