The first rain of spring arrived as expected.

With the murmur of rain and the curling of smoke, people along the street happily opened their windows to welcome the heaven-sent rain.

In teahouses and restaurants, people were discussing what was new in the capital yesterday.

"I heard that Princess Huaxi fell into Jinming Lake, but her bodyguard rescued her?"

"Didn't it be said that Princess Huaxi doted on a guard last year, and His Majesty made him a fifth-rank official?"

"It's good to have a skin. If you are next to Princess Huaxi, he will have the glory and wealth in this life."

"But I don't know who would dare to marry Princess Huaxi..."

Those who were originally married to the royal family were all descendants of the family.Right now, more than half of the aristocratic family has fallen, and Emperor Yong was promoted to a poor family, so he can't marry the princess to a poor family, right?
With such a great Buddha, I don't know who would dare to marry her home.

The officers and soldiers pushed open the gate of Linshui Palace, Shu Ningyou was held down by two strong soldiers and knelt in front of Emperor Yong.

The mysterious conductor wearing the silver mask stepped into the hall unhurriedly, and said in a calm voice, "Your Majesty."

"I have investigated the inner divisions. There were six court ladies who accompanied the dragon boat yesterday. One of them had a sudden illness and went back to the palace to rest. Shu Ningyou used her name to sneak into the dragon boat pretending to be a maid."

The young man's voice was hoarse and cool, as it was rumored in the outside world, just listening to the voice would make one's body chill.The commander's gaze fell lightly on Shu Ningyou's body. This strange sense of familiarity made Shu Ningyou's heart skip a few beats, and he suddenly realized that the trembling feeling was the same as yesterday on the dragon boat.

This conductor makes...

This commander is Shu Yao's personal bodyguard!

Shu Ningyou suddenly realized why Emperor Yong would give such a mediocre bodyguard an official position and allow the rumors about Shu Yao and the bodyguard to spread in the capital... This bodyguard is not an ordinary person at all, he left Li Mingji in Shu Yao By Yao's side, it was still to protect Shu Yao.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my daughter is wronged!"

Bumping into Emperor Yong's calm and indifferent eyes, Shu Ningyou's desire to survive reached its peak, "Your Majesty, my servant was coerced by the Tatars, if they didn't follow their rules, they would kill my servant, and my servant was also forced have no choice……"

Li Mingji's thin lips curled up coldly: "Really."

Another group of soldiers escorted the envoys in Tatar costumes into the palace.

He was one of the attendants who accompanied Kunmi to Beijing, his slender eyes were full of panic, and he kept speaking unfamiliar Tatar language.Behind Li Mingji, an official who was proficient in Tatar came forward and said something to him. The attendant's eyes widened, and he was escorted by the soldiers to kneel in front of Emperor Yong.

The official cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, he said that this matter was done by him alone. Seeing that His Majesty's attitude towards the marriage was ambiguous, he made a plan to hold Shu Ningyou hostage and let her destroy Princess Jiayi's innocence. His goal It was Princess Jiayi, he didn't know why it was Shu Yao who fell into the water."

Emperor Yong, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, "Bring the sword."

Li Mingji drew out the sword at his waist, and his servant Yin Fu handed it to Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong walked down the steps step by step with his sword in his hand, his leather boots approaching, every step was like a knife piercing the tip of a person's heart.

"Bang!"

Raising the sword in his hand and falling, blood spattered on the golden dragon pattern, and the servant's head fell to the ground.

The whole house was silent.

Even soldiers who had experienced many battles could not keep their backs tensed under such high pressure, not to mention the officials and servants who were called in, some of them were timid and knelt on the ground in fright.

Only Li Ming stood still, watching all this casually, as if enjoying a farce.

The one I'm most afraid of should be Shu Ningyou.

The scene of the head of the attendant falling to the ground will become a lingering nightmare for her life. Her back was soaked in cold sweat, and she wished she could immediately pass out and escape from this trial.

She even began to regret why she had to fight against Shu Yao, why she had to pick up that storybook, why she pushed Shu Yao into the water after Princess Jiayi left...

But next, it's her turn.

The blood-stained long sword was thrown on the ground casually, and Emperor Yong's fingertips were still stained with blood. Yin Fu boldly handed over a handkerchief to wipe away the blood on his hands.

"Preach my will," Emperor Yong said in a flat voice, "Give Shu Ningyou the title of county lord and marry him to the Chata Department."

……

Shu Yao had a fever again in the morning, was fed a bowl of soup in a daze, turned over and fell asleep again.

In March, spring is expected to be chilly, and the lake water is icy cold. Although we only soaked for a while, the damage to the body is still not small.I woke up for a while at noon, and when I looked at the skirt, there was still Guishui.

This is simply not worse, but an avalanche.

Shu Yao, unable to exert herself, lay on the bed sadly, listening to Chunrui and Songzhen talk to her about what happened today.

Miss her princess mansion.

Miss her kitty.

Also misses her bodyguard.

She doesn't want to stay in this Qionglin Garden for a moment, anyway, every time she comes here, there is nothing good.

"Princess, Shu Ningyou has been named the county lord by His Majesty, and she is about to marry into the Chata Department. She did what you fell into the water yesterday."

After hearing what Songzhen said, Chunrui let out a pooh, and said in disgust: "She's to blame."

Shu Yao hadn't heard this name for a long time, who knew that she came here suddenly, frowned, and didn't say anything.

Yesterday Yin Fu came to see Princess Jiayi, was he talking about marriage?

"I heard that the customs of Tatar are extremely barbaric. Marry your mother when your father dies, and marry your sister-in-law when your elder brother dies." Songzhen frowned just thinking about it, "Fortunately, the second prince and the others conquered the Tatar tribe and did not let them do more harm. people."

This fact is really unpleasant, Songzhen changed the news again, "His Majesty also issued an imperial decree to marry Princess Jiayi and Zhongshu Sheren Zhou Rong, and the ceremony will be held this autumn."

Gee, what a happy event.

Thinking of Princess Jiayi's sad face yesterday, Shu Yao wanted to laugh.

However, Princess Jiayi and Zhou Rong have been tortuous for so long, and now the dust has settled.

She has been there to help with these two people's matters, and Princess Jiayi has to thank her very much.

Although she couldn't remember what she had helped, Shu Yao still made a thank you list in her mind.

The pain in the lower abdomen came and went, and Shu Yao seldom had pain during menstruation, but today she finally experienced this feeling, her face turned pale, and she buried herself in the quilt.

How nice it would be to have a fluffy and warm Persian cat in my arms at this time.

So, after hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Shu Yao ordered even though she was already in so much pain, "Come here, prepare the sedan chair, the county chief will return home."

She didn't want to lie in this place anymore.

Li Mingji looked at the bulge in the quilt, and slightly raised his eyebrows, "Jiaojiao is not feeling well, it's not suitable to take a carriage, why do you want to go home?"

"Because I miss my cat—" Shu Yao poked her head out, and silently added, "There are also guards."

Li Mingji: I stay up late to read the storybook, and I am in a hurry to go home to watch the cat. Why am I always the one by the way?
