As soon as Ximen Zhe stepped into Chunlin Garden, he saw such a scene. To outsiders, Ximen Hao was holding Su Ranhua's waist. Although his expression was sharp, his behavior was ambiguous. But Ximen Zhe only saw shock, because he
I know how serious the injuries were to Su Ranhua’s body after being punished by the cane!
"Fourth brother came back very quickly." Ximen Hao squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at Ximen Zhe casually. But the hand that held Su Ranhua tightly did not loosen.
"Zhe'er!" Concubine Yao called in a low voice, with worry and slight anger in her round eyes. The coat on Ximen Zhe's body was taken from an unknown palace official and the one worn by Su Ranhua
His clothes were so eye-catching, like a spark splashing on the dry grassland. She had to put it out as soon as possible to prevent it from starting a prairie fire.
"Second Emperor Brother, do you know how serious the injury of the emperor's sister-in-law is! You still treat her so hard!" Ximen Zhe ignored Concubine Yao and rushed straight in front of Ximen Hao. The usually happy and carefree young man became angry.
, the originally clear eyes were clearly burning with fire.
"Fourth brother, you are actually angry?" Ximen Haowei narrowed his eyes and turned to Ximen Zhe, "For this sinful concubine, your so-called emperor's wife?"
"Zhe'er!" Concubine Yao quickly grabbed Ximen Zhe and tried to drag him away. His actions had never been so bold, but boldness also came with risks.
"Mother Concubine!" Ximen Zhe threw Concubine Yao away, "I will not watch Concubine Bei's suffering and ignore it. I must make it clear to the Second Emperor!"
"This is a family matter in the North Palace. The North King has made his own decision about what to do with Princess Bei. What does it have to do with you? Leave it alone!" Concubine Yao said angrily. She was angry that her son was so meddlesome that he would kill her for a Su Ranhua.
Years of training were thrown away, years of careful care of him were wasted, and she couldn't stand this time of causing trouble.
"Concubine Yao, it seems that the fourth brother has really grown up, and even the mother concubine has begun to stop listening to you." Although Ximen Hao was speaking to Concubine Yao, his slightly narrowed eyes were evil and sycophantic.
But he was looking at Ximen Zhe.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the strength in Ximen Hao's hand became a little stronger. Su Ranhua couldn't help trembling all over, and the body that insisted on standing could no longer support it. With a low moan, he was about to soften.
of falling.
"Dye painting!" Ximenzhe's heart tightened and he wanted to save people.
Ximen Hao turned sideways to block Ximen Zhe, and with a casual grab, he pulled his clothes off Su Ranhua's body. Su Ranhua followed the force of the rotation and fell to the side in a daze.
"Fourth brother, what was your name just now?" Ximen Hao asked coldly, holding on to the blue shirt.
"It's... the emperor's sister-in-law." Ximen Zhe also knew that he had lost his composure in a hurry, and had to change his words to say the most difficult title to say. He looked at the person who fell behind Ximen Hao with dark eyes for a moment, with unconcealable nervousness.
and concern.
"Fourth brother, you have to remember that she is a scheming woman. You are simple in nature, so don't lose your eyes for a moment." Ximen Hao stuffed the clothes to Ximen Zhe, turned around and glanced at Su Ranhua, "All she has is
Let me take control, no one can interfere!"
"She..." Ximenzhe held his own clothes, looked over Ximen Hao's tall body, and looked at Su Ranhua who was lying on the ground. He saw such a kind-hearted and beautiful girl in his memory, and now she looked so pitiful.
How could it be as cunning as the second emperor brother said? He didn't believe it!
He wanted to cross Ximen Hao to help Su Ran draw a picture, but Ximen Hao's tall and domineering body was like a hard barrier, blocking his way.
Ximenzhe's fingers pinched his clothes tightly, and the thin fabric was about to be torn by his pinches.
"Fourth brother, do you still want to help her?" Ximenzhe looked directly at Ximenzhe with his sharp eyes, and his forbearing unwillingness could not escape his eyes.
Turning around indifferently, without any warning, Ximen Hao stepped on Su Ranhua's buttocks that had been spanked with a cane, and took off the cover of Ximen Zhe's coat, revealing a bright red area.
"Ah!" Su Ranhua couldn't help but scream. She felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and she wanted to faint, but she felt all this clearly.
"Second Emperor Brother!" That foot seemed to have stepped on Ximen Zhe's own body, but he did not dare to take a step forward, for fear that Ximen Hao would increase his strength again.
"Zhe'er, get back quickly!" Concubine Yao said urgently. She was so afraid that her son would rush forward like crazy and fight against Ximen Hao. How could he deal with the strong and cold Ximen Hao!
Ximen Hao's cold eyes stared at Ximen Zhe provocatively, his anger, his worry, and his helplessness all visible.
Ximen Zhe's five fingers have pinched his clothes to pieces, but he stood there, motionless. He didn't want to retreat, but he couldn't move forward. He couldn't break through Ximen Hao's iron fence, and he had no confidence that he could save Su Ranhua. In this way
Living in the palace for many years, he only learned to be patient with his mother and concubine, not to cause trouble, and had no ability to fight back at all.
Concubine Yao once taught him that only by giving up everything, living a quiet life, and not being anyone's enemy can he be safe. This was also the only wish of his mother and concubine. Ximen Zhe has always followed her teachings and become a happy and idle prince.
But when he met the woman who had been deeply engraved in his memory five years later and saw the suffering she suffered, there was boiling water in his heart. He didn't want to continue to be quiet, but if he wanted to break it, he couldn't.
of pale and feeble.
If you don't move, you still have resistance.
Ximen Hao's eyes flashed with sternness, and his foot stepped on Su Ranhua's body with increased force.
"Ah!" A miserable scream burst out from Su Ranhua's mouth, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and a few sycamore flowers fell on Su Ranhua's hair, like a few elegant little flowers inserted into a simple bun, adding a bit of sadness to the person lying on the ground.
"King Xi...I accept your kindness...please step back." Su Ranhua's weak voice floated out intermittently, soft and weak, with a bit more pleading.
When she has no ability to fight back, she can only endure it, leave a life, and have a chance to collect debts. Su Ranhua understands that she was reborn by chance, so she must save her life well. She doesn't want to be so miserable.
die.
Su Ranhua's expression shocked Concubine Yao. Her seemingly weak bones contained a forbearing stubbornness. This was different from her years of forbearance. Her forbearance was an aloofness, while Su Ranhua's forbearance
There is a forced surrender in it, and if there is a chance, all the forbearance will be exploded.
Being able to bend and stretch is the best nature, but in this deep palace, being able to stretch also has to pay a heavy price. She would rather her son be an idle prince instead of touching any hot spots.
No matter how Ximen Zhe viewed Su Ranhua in his heart, Concubine Yao would not allow him to provoke her again. He could not afford to touch Ximen Hao's things, and he would never have even the remaining pity.
