Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 235 Severing Relationships
Ruan Jingxin took a step forward, cut off the lock with his sword, and the lock fell in response, Xie Yanniang hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in, looking up and down at the eldest princess, for fear that she might get hurt.

"It's okay, he still doesn't dare to touch me." The eldest princess's heart warmed up, Xie Yanniang's face was full of anxiety, and her body was in a mess, obviously she rushed over to save herself just after she escaped.

Regardless of status and status, in Xie Yanniang's eyes, she only saw pure concern and worry.

The Eldest Princess looked at the tall man standing outside the prison again, not missing the gentle look in his eyes on Xie Yanniang, and guessed, "Prince Regent?"

"Yes, it's me." Ruan Jingxin nodded to her, and reminded: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, the eldest princess should leave as soon as possible."

"The fifteenth prince has been captured by you, where is the young emperor?" The eldest princess stood up with Xie Yanniang's support, her steps were a little staggering.

Although no torture was used, the shackles were heavy, and the eldest princess did not move because it was inconvenient to move around.

Ruan Jingxin cut off the shackles as before, and walked out of the cell first.

The eldest princess didn't mention the female guards beside her, apparently they had already been dealt with by Long Zhiyu when they were escorted in.

Xie Yanniang supported her silently, and quickly left the dungeon. The dazzling sunlight made the eldest princess narrow her eyes uncomfortably: "What is the regent planning to do, hand over the fifteenth prince to the emperor?"

"Naturally, he is the emperor's uncle." Ruan Jingxin replied without hesitation.

"Uncle?" The eldest princess saw the regent's intentions and didn't point it out. She turned her head and glanced at Xie Yanniang, and found that her hands had been wrapped into rice dumplings.

I didn't notice it in the dark in the sky prison just now, but now I can see that the bandaged veil is stained with blood, obviously the injury is serious.

The color of the bloodstain is still fresh, it should be from the injury not long ago: "How did this happen, who hurt you?"

"I hurt it when I broke the rope. I've already applied medicine, so it's fine." Xie Yanniang smiled nonchalantly. Ruan Jingxin's wound medicine is very good, as long as she doesn't use force, it won't hurt.

After she left the eldest princess, she took her mother to rescue the young emperor and was caught by the fifteen princes. The eldest princess gently held her hands and sighed: "It's hard for you, go back and recover from your wounds, little girl! Beautiful hands don't leave scars."

The eldest princess was full of love and affection, if she hadn't insisted on bringing Xie Yanniang into the palace, maybe she would have suffered less.

Back to Qionghua Hall, there is no one outside the hall, and the quietness makes people feel frightened.

The black-faced guard came out of the hall, and said respectfully: "The emperor has invited the eldest princess to enter the hall, and my subordinates have been waiting for a long time."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, Ruan Jingxin had already pretended to be an ordinary guard and stood behind her at the right time, and Xie Yanniang also followed behind with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye like an ordinary court lady.

The young emperor sat at the head, with the elder princess's mother serving beside him.

Seeing that the eldest princess was safe and sound, Mammy's tense face eased down.

"Fortunately, the eldest princess is fine, otherwise I would really be to blame." The young emperor looked down at the few people and asked, "Who are these two?"

He looked at Xie Yanniang who bowed her head very kindly, and after a closer look, he recognized the maid who had saved him.

Now in a state of distress, I almost didn't recognize him: "So it was you, who saved me, do you have a reward you want? You might as well say it, as long as it's not too much, I will agree to you."

Xie Yanniang lowered her head and replied: "This is the emperor's great fortune, and he will definitely not let the rebellious officials and thieves succeed."

Everyone loves to hear good words, and it is rare for the young emperor to squeeze out a smile on his gloomy little face: "In this case, you can come to Zhen's side to serve. If you are good at serving, you can become a concubine."

The eldest princess couldn't help laughing, and glanced at the regent behind her.

It's really good that the young emperor has a good eye for whoever he likes, but for the regent prince and concubine.

"It's the girl's good fortune that the emperor has taken a fancy to her. It's just that she also saved me. I have already said that I will adopt her as a righteous daughter." How could the eldest princess' adopted daughter enter the palace and continue to serve the emperor as a court lady.If it is included in the harem, it is really unreasonable.

The young emperor frowned, and he didn't want to force others to make things difficult: "Forget it, I will ask Qin Tianjian to choose a good day and let her worship the eldest princess as her adoptive mother."

"Thank you Lord Long En," the eldest princess managed to get over Xie Yanniang's identity because she couldn't reveal her identity.

Otherwise, if the young emperor really left Xie Yanniang in the palace, the regent would probably have the heart to cut off the young emperor.

Xie Yanniang also breathed a sigh of relief, if the young emperor asked, she would pretend to be a court lady, and she really couldn't refuse.

Fortunately, the eldest princess smoothed things over, and personally promised the name of a righteous daughter.

The young emperor just wanted to keep Xie Yanniang because he didn't have anyone available around him.

Since the eldest princess likes it, he will not take away people's love.

Besides, the young emperor now relies on the eldest princess for a lot of things.

The eldest princess also gave him a big gift: "The fifteenth prince is in the Qionghua Palace, and the emperor will decide how to deal with it, so I won't say much."

She spent the night in the sky prison, and she really didn't want to stay for a moment.

The Young Emperor naturally saw the tiredness in the Eldest Princess' brows, and did not keep her anymore: "Forgive me for not being able to ask someone to take the Eldest Princess back home."

The people around him were dead and betrayed, all he could use now was a black-faced guard in front of him.

For the current plan, the guards from other places in central Beijing can only be transferred back.

Otherwise, the imperial palace would be vacant, and if the Rong people came in to assassinate, the young emperor would be doomed.

The eldest princess waved her hand and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. I still have my hands and feet intact, and I am familiar with the palace, so I don't even know where the palace gate is. Where do I really need someone to send it?"

She turned around and left, the palace was really not a good place for her, she wished to leave immediately.

Leaving Qionghua Palace, the eldest princess glanced at the silent regent behind him: "Are you going to the eldest princess' mansion too, or are you going back to your place?"

"Naturally, where she is, so will I." Ruan Jingxin looked at Xie Yanniang and replied with pursed lips.

Xie Yanniang's cheeks were hot, and she felt uncomfortable being watched by him.

When the eldest princess walked to the gate of the palace, the guards had already got off the carriage and waited for her: "Let's go, you don't need to guard here anymore."

The personal guards took the order, and quickly retreated from all the palace gates, followed behind, and returned to the Princess Mansion.

Xie Yanniang followed the eldest princess in the carriage, and Ruan Jingxin followed outside the carriage with other personal guards.

She frequently wanted to lift the curtain to look around, but she did not escape the eyes of the eldest princess. The latter couldn't help laughing: "It hasn't been long since we separated, and the princess already wants to be the regent?"

After finishing speaking, she sighed again: "That's right, the newlyweds, but they were separated. It's rare to be together now, so I wish I could stay together day and night."

Xie Yanniang saw that the Eldest Princess had a worried look on her brows, so she changed the subject and said, "Thank you, Eldest Princess, for speaking kindly for me in front of the Emperor."

"It's not a good word, but I'm afraid the regent will find me unlucky." The eldest princess smiled, seeing that she was worried about herself, so she stopped thinking about those unhappy past events.

The past is like smoke, why always worry about it?

Xie Yanniang frowned: "I just hope the emperor doesn't take it seriously, otherwise it will be difficult for the eldest princess."

She always thought that the Eldest Princess only proposed to adopt the adoptive daughter in order to break out of the siege.

After hearing this, the eldest princess was surprised and said: "Why, the princess is not willing to be my adopted daughter?"

Xie Yanniang was surprised: "Eldest Princess' adopted daughter is what I can only wish for. It's just a talk about getting rid of the siege, and the emperor may not really remember it."

"My concubine is wrong, the emperor not only remembers it, I'm afraid Qin Tianjian will tell me the chosen date in a few days." The eldest princess shook her head, the young emperor's suspicious temperament was exactly the same as that of the first emperor.

Since the eldest princess said it, he would naturally take it for granted.

If it is not serious, and the young emperor is serious, isn't the eldest princess a crime of deceiving the emperor?

"I've been alone for so many years. I finally met a confidant who played chess. How could I let you slip away? If you have no relatives and no reason, it's not good to ask you to play chess with me all day long. Now I have the title of adopted daughter." , even if the concubine wanted to refuse, she would definitely refuse."

The eldest princess's words were like jokes, Xie Yanniang really couldn't laugh or cry: "I also like the eldest princess, if the eldest princess needs it, just ask me to go to the house to play chess at any time."

Hearing this, the eldest princess smiled and shook her head and said: "Silly girl, I know that the Xie family has removed you from the family tree. There are a lot of gossip outside the house when you marry the regent, and some people question whether you are worthy of the regent. Originally not You should listen to those bastards, but it's not your fault, so there's no need to be gossiped about. Being my adopted daughter, your status will be different, and those people dare not say anything."

Xie Yanniang didn't take it seriously, sighed and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest princess, but they dare not say it in person, don't they still talk about it behind their backs? It's not easy to stop Youyou's mouth, it's better to turn a deaf ear."

"You underestimated those noble ladies, all of them behaved dignifiedly, and they were no different from shrews on the street. They are all disrespectful to others. Now the princess who has become the regent, can't go directly to the border town like him, three to five years You don't need to entertain when you're not in Beijing. If you want to stay here, you can't shirk other people's invitations. That villain doesn't dare to do anything on the surface, but he is very vicious behind the scenes."

The eldest princess has seen those people clearly. If it wasn't for her identity, she might be drowned by these little women in the backyard.

"Hard words are not enough, but cynicism is indispensable. With me in charge, for my sake, they don't dare to be presumptuous in front of you."

Xie Yanniang's eyes were slightly red, she bowed her head embarrassedly and said: "I let the eldest princess bother."

"It's okay, just come and play chess with me more often." Seeing that she was about to cry, the eldest princess felt a little more pity for her because she was afraid that she had had a very hard life before.

She has also heard a thing or two about Xie's family. Mr. Xie is a bastard, he has an eye for money, and he is also a philanderer.The three daughters all wanted to sell for a good price and help the Xie family.

He doesn't care how Xie Yanniang is doing in Xie's mansion.

If it wasn't for her being thoughtful and careful to protect herself, I'm afraid it would be impossible for her to sit here with her whole body intact.

The eldest princess sighed, Xie Yanniang tried her best to break off the relationship with Xie's family.
