As soon as this voice sounded, the noise of the crowd suddenly stopped.
Zhao Xiyan was startled and poked her head out from behind her third great uncle: "Why are you here?"
The handsome young man with a jade-like face walked over slowly and smiled at the Zhao clan members: "This Colonel Murong is indeed the imperial guard in the palace. He came here on errands on the emperor's order. He lives now.
Beihai Palace is not an evil person. Everyone should leave!"
It was a common occurrence for the Prince of Beihai to come to Zhaojiafang, and the Zhao clan had long been used to it. When he heard what he said, he immediately put down the wooden stick in his hand: "So that's it!"
"Captain Murong didn't say anything earlier, I'm so offended."
The tribesmen walked away in a hurry.
Only the ninety-year-old third great-uncle was still standing there, continuing to protect Zhao Xiyan behind him. His sparse gray beard was blown up by the wind, and he said firmly: "I don't care whether we are a school captain or not. Anyway, Zhao Xiyan is bullying us."
My girl just can’t do it.”
Murong Shen: "..."
Murong Shen had never been so embarrassed in his life, and his handsome face turned dark red with embarrassment and anger.
Xu Jing's eyes flashed, he glanced at Murong Shen with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Colonel Murong and the soldiers around him changed their clothes and left the palace. After my prince got the news, he was very surprised. This made me even more surprised.
What was shocking was that Captain Murong actually touched Zhaojiafang when he came to Beihai County for the first time."
"Colonel Murong wants to see Master Zhao, and I specially invited Master Zhao to a banquet so that we can meet him. I wonder what the reason is for Colonel Murong to sneak into Zhaojiafang secretly?"
Murong Shen: "..."
Murong Shen pursed his thin lips, anger flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say a word.
Although Xu Jing said he had the upper hand, in fact his lungs were about to explode.
When Xu San came to report that Murong Shen had sneaked out of the house, he rarely got angry at his soldiers: "Bastard! I asked you to keep an eye on Murong Shen, why did you let him leave the house?"
Xu San looked ashamed and blamed himself: "I didn't expect that Captain Murong actually exchanged clothes with the soldiers and left the palace through the back door. I immediately led people to find him."
"You don't need to go." Xu Jing squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "I will go in person."
Xu San whispered: "The dinner party is about to start, it's better for the younger ones to go..."
The furious prince could not listen at all and rushed all the way to Zhaojiafang.
Murong Shen is indeed here.
Xu Jing sarcastically said, the anger still lingering in his heart, and he said with a smile: "Why did Colonel Murong suddenly stop talking?"
Murong Shen was not one to be offended, and responded calmly: "The prince is so smart, so naturally he can't hide his thoughts from the prince, so why bother to say more."
Xu Jing raised his eyebrows coldly.
Murong Shen looked back coldly.
Miss Zhao Liu, who was hiding behind her third great uncle, did not say anything.
…
A handful of years old, my third great-uncle has eaten more salt than young people have eaten rice. Looking at this situation, there is nothing you don’t understand.
The third great uncle turned his head and said: "The third great uncle has gone back. If anything happens, just shout. If anyone dares to bully you, I will beat him myself."
Zhao Xiyan nodded obediently.
The third great-uncle went back on crutches.
Outside Zhao's house, only Zhao Xiyan, Xu Jing, and Murong Shen were left.
Xu Jing didn't look at Murong Shen's face. He walked to Zhao Xiyan with brisk steps and said in a friendly and casual tone: "Sister Yue Ya'er, you were frightened today. Go back and rest early!"
Zhao Xiyan raised her eyes: "Why are you here suddenly?"
Xu Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I counted with my fingers and knew that something was wrong with you, so I came to save you immediately. What do you think? Are you very touched? Do you want to pledge yourself to me?"
Even though Zhao Xiyan was in a heavy mood, she was amused and smiled brightly: "You are chewing your tongue and talking nonsense."
Xu Jing grinned: "Okay, I'm here, you go back."
Xu Jing said it was natural.
Zhao Xiyan raised her eyes to look at him.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, I still remember the young bamboo horse in my memory, with bright eyes and a smile on her lips, as if she had grown up overnight. She spread her wings and protected her behind her.
There was a strange throbbing in my heart. It was a little sour and a little sweet.
Zhao Xiyan nodded lightly: "Okay."
She did not look at Murong Shen, who suddenly looked ugly, but turned around and walked into the house.
Xu Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Murong Shen: "The dinner is about to begin. Let's go back quickly and we can still make it in time. Colonel Murong invites you!"
Murong Shen Ding glanced at Xu Jing and responded simply: "Your Majesty, please."
…
The Zhao family's concierge hid behind the door. Seeing Xu Jing and Murong Shen both mount their horses and leave, he breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly closed the door.
The four servants supported me and I leaned on you, all with bruises and swollen faces, and their faces looked ashamed: "Miss, it's all my fault that the younger ones are useless."
The four of them together didn't even miss a single cup of tea. They were quickly dealt with by others.
Fortunately, their master was kind-hearted and did not blame them for being useless and useless at all. He even comforted them in a gentle voice: "That evil man is very skilled and is a master in the world. It is inevitable that you will fall short of your capabilities."
He also called the concierge boy nearby and asked him to fetch the doctor.
The four servants waved their hands: "No, we have some skin injuries. Just apply some medicine and it will be fine. There is no need to call a doctor."
Zhao Xiyan insisted: "Let the doctor take a look and don't hurt your muscles and bones."
The servants then responded gratefully.
Zhao Xiyan returned to the boudoir with a calm expression.
She had been holding back the hosta without daring to say anything, closed the door with a pretty face, and rushed to Zhao Xiyan: "Miss, who is that Colonel Murong? Why did he suddenly rush to our Zhao family? He
How do you know Miss..."
"Jade hairpin," Zhao Xiyan sat beside the bed, her cheeks hidden in the darkness, and her face could not be seen clearly. There was a hint of weariness in her voice: "Please step aside first, I want to be alone."
Yuhan had no choice but to shut up and retreat.
The door was closed again, and she was the only one left in the room. Only then did Zhao Xiyan really relax, raised her head slightly, and covered her face with her sleeves.
She didn't have the joy of meeting old friends again, only the exhaustion and weakness after being shocked and tense.
In her previous life, she went to Beijing eight years later and met the emperor in his prime at a banquet.
In this life, he came to Beihai County ahead of schedule and came directly to Zhaojiafang, calling her by her given name...
This means that, like her, he was reborn with the memories of his previous life.
God is so tolerant and cruel. He would mess up her life by just touching her at will.
Murong Shen has a domineering temperament and is arbitrary. If he decides to do something, he will do it to the end and never look back. Since he came to her specifically, how could he give up?
Xu Jing confronts him, what should I do next?
Is she going to commit herself to a man she doesn't love again and live in fear in this world?
No!
It is better to be broken jade than to be intact.
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
