Chapter 17 The Palace's Most Protective Princess Arrives
Chapter 17 The person who best protects the princess is here
Just when He Yanyan thought it was Bian Xiao coming back and wanted to find a suitable excuse to defend herself, a familiar male voice came to her ears:
"Princess, you're late!"
"Meet... a gift?"
He Yanyan couldn't believe her ears.
Ever since she sent her "dowry", personal bodyguard Fu Jianli, back to China to inquire about the current situation of the Qianglan Kingdom half a year ago, the man has never sent back a letter. She even began to wonder if something unexpected had happened to Fu Jianli.
.
And now, he is back!
He Yanyan turned around and looked at her in surprise, while Fu Jianli had tears in his eyes:
"Princess...how on earth...did you end up in such a situation during your absence?"
Fu Jianli looked at the scars on He Yanyan's face with distress. As he spoke, the grown man couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing the tearful expression of Fu Jianli, who was once a victorious general of the Qianglan Kingdom, and who asked the late emperor to come to Rongbian Kingdom as his "dowry" during the marriage, He Yanyan finally felt the grievances and sadness she had been holding back for several days.
There is a place to vent.
She curled her lips and cried: "What happened? Why did it take so long on the road? I thought... I thought I would never see you again!"
Shaking his head to tell He Yanyan not to worry, Fu Jianli saw that she was seriously injured now: "Princess, you lie on the bed first. If there is any medicine that needs to be changed, I will change it for you."
He Yanyan shook her head: "How is the mother-in-law doing now? Has the imperial sister really usurped the throne? Where is the late emperor? Could it be that the emperor has given her to..."
Fu Jianli sighed: "It's a long story, and I haven't figured out some of the details yet, and the information I told you is also inaccurate. If the princess wants to know more clearly, I can go there again in a few days.
yes."
She always felt that Fu Jianli was hiding something from her, but He Yanyan did not ask further——
He will never betray himself.
If he had said so, then this matter might have been his worst guess.
Nodding, He Yanyan took out the powder again:
"Now that I have been disfigured, although this powder will have poisonous effects and penetrate into the body along the skin, but now that you are here, I am not so afraid."
Seeing that He Yanyan wanted to use banned drugs, Fu Jianli refused, so he held He Yanyan's hand:
"Princess, think twice. The poisonous effect of this medicinal powder varies from person to person. Some people will be poisoned and die immediately after applying it, some people will be fine, but some people will be blind and deaf, or..."
"I know, but now, do I have a choice?"
When Fu Jianli listened to He Yanyan's cold words and looked at her face again, he couldn't help turning his face away——
How could his once-powerful fourth princess become like this!
It’s all because of my poor protection!
"Princess, who hurt you like this? Bian Xiao doesn't care either?!"
He Yanyan shook her head: "The king has also encountered some difficulties. Now that we are both in trouble, we can't care about it."
After finishing speaking, He Yanyan also realized a strange thing——
Bian Xiao didn't seem to ask much about his face, as if he knew everything about it.
what happened?
These words were like knives in Fu Jianli's ears. While helping He Yanyan apply the medicine, he secretly made up his mind -
From now on, we will find the person who caused He Yanyan's disfigurement and cut him into pieces!
While waiting for dinner, Bian Xiao asked the chef to prepare some more light medicinal meals in the kitchen. When he came to the hall and the family was about to sit down, his eyes fell on Fu Jianli, who had been standing by He Yanyan's side.
Narrowing his eyes, Bian Xiao raised his head slightly: "When did General Fu come back? I don't even know?"
Fu Jianli nodded and smiled: "I am rude. But I am the dowry of the princess alone. Naturally, I don't have to report to the regent if I have any movements."
Bian Xiao's mouth twitched——
Why did He Yanyan choose someone to marry as her bride, but why did He Yanyan choose this person who was her mortal enemy on the battlefield?
Moreover, Fu Jianli paid too close attention to He Yanyan at times. When the two slept in the same room for the first time, Fu Jianli stood like a stone outside the window, looking at Bian Xiao and felt uncomfortable.
Maybe it was the sympathy between heroes, maybe it was because Bian Xiao had always been worried about the arrow that Fu Jianli had shot him in the chest on the battlefield, and wanted to take revenge with his own hands, so he did not drive this man out of the palace.
But every time I see him, I feel like my chest is tight.
Nodding, Bian Xiao asked Fu Jianli to dine with him.
Looking sideways and looking at He Yanyan's cheek wrapped in gauze, Bian Xiao hesitated:
"The emperor sent a message this afternoon. The king will come to the palace to see you tomorrow. It will be the Queen Mother's birthday in ten days, and I will send congratulatory gifts to the palace. Is the princess willing to go with her?"
He Yanyan touched the gauze on her cheek and shook her head slightly: "I am afraid that my concubine's face will attract criticism..."
"If it's because of this, there's no need to worry," Bian Xiao patted her hand, "With me here, no one in the palace will talk about anything. I just thought that the queen mother and the princess are of the same race, so I thought we'd meet
I just ask because I feel nostalgic."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Since the King said this, I have no worries."
Hearing this, He Yanyan vaguely remembered that when the Qianglan Kingdom and the Rongbian Kingdom were at war with each other, the late emperor's biological sister made peace for the sake of peace between the two countries - and like herself, she has now become the Queen Mother.
Fu Jianli looked at He Yanyan's thin body and gave her some meat. Although Bian Xiao didn't say anything, he always felt uncomfortable watching Fu Jianli's actions.
While the two were eating, the wet nurse was crying in the kitchen: "What the hell is this! How could the king lock Yingying in the woodshed just because of He Yanyan!"
Several people around her tried to persuade the wet nurse: "The king must have been angry for a moment. Miss Yingying hurt the princess with a dagger, how could the king not be angry!"
The nanny looked at the door frame pitifully towards the main hall. After a few people finished eating, she chased out and stopped Bian Xiao:
"king!"
"Nanny?!"
Seeing the wet nurse plop down on her knees in front of him, Bian Xiao was stunned: "What is this?"
He Yanyan and Fu Jianli who were walking next to them also stopped.
"King! I know that Yingying has made a big mistake, but Yingying is not bad in her heart. It must have been the princess who spoke harshly to her first. Please don't blame Yingying and let her out first!"
The wet nurse had already been beaten by the family's servants. Now that the woodshed was remote and cold, how could she watch her daughter suffer such injustice.
Bian Xiao was in a dilemma - on one hand, he had the princess who was disfigured by his fire and wanted to make amends, and on the other hand, he had the nanny who had been kind to him in raising him.
He frowned slightly:
"Nanny, if you want to see Yingying, just go and see her. The doctor at home has already seen her. It's nothing serious. Yingying hurt someone this time, and it's unjustifiable."
Fu Jianli looked at the two people and couldn't help clenching his fists. After waiting for He Yanyan to go to bed at night, he silently came to the woodshed.
