Chapter 20 Unless you die
"The prince is too much." When Chu Zhicheng heard Chu Ruoxi say that the prince was very good, he was annoyed and said in his heart: There was nothing to do, but he had to be so pretentious that his brother and sister had lost their faces.
Chu Ruoxi picked up a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on Chu Zhicheng's forehead, and a smile appeared on his small face: "Your Highness is the crown prince of a country. Your Highness is a great grace to me. Don't think nonsense. Ruoxi is fine, and she is still waiting for her brother to take me out to play."
Chu Zhicheng looked at Mother Li behind Chu Ruoxi suspiciously and looked up and down at his sister, "Really?"
Chu Ruoxi stood up and said, "When did Ruoxi cheat on her brother? Don't you think I'm fine?"
"Be careful." Mother Li grabbed Chu Ruoxi, who staggered under her feet and almost fell down. "Miss, are you all right?"
"I...it's okay."
"It's okay! You almost fainted." Chu Zhicheng suddenly raised half of his body, grinned in pain, and then lay down again. "Damn it, I know he won't treat you well. Don't worry, when I get better, I will definitely go to the palace to help you get justice."
Chu Ruoxi smiled, helped Chu Zhicheng straighten the slippery quilt, and whispered, "Brother, don't be angry. I'm really fine. I recognized the bed last night and didn't sleep soundly. I'm a little tired. I'll go back to Yilanju first and visit my brother tomorrow."
She knew that there were some things that she didn't need to say. The more she was, the more suspicious Chu Zhicheng would be, and he had his own way to find out that the prince didn't like him.
Chu Ruoxi blinked at Chu Zhicheng and saluted.
Back to Yilanju, as soon as I took a sip of tea, the maidservant outside said good to me, and the voice of my stepmother Liang came in, "My son, you are back."
The maid hit the bead curtain on the moon door of the boudoir, and Liang took a small step in with the help of Xu's mother, followed by Chu Yunxi, who was covered in yellow.
"Sister Ruoxi." She called in a low voice.
Chu Ruoxi got up quickly and was slightly blessed: "Mother." He also said to Chu Yunxi, "Yunxi sister."
"Don't get up, just sit down." Liang looked up and down at Chu Ruoxi and his eyes turned red. "I learned that my son didn't return all night, and the rules in the palace were very strict. My mother was so worried... Fortunately, nothing happened. I was relieved to see that my son was fine."
"It's all Ruoxi's bad, which worries her parents."
Liang took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes. "The angry look when His Royal Highness returned to the palace was really scary. Even the master was angry and would definitely hand over your brothers and sisters over to His Royal Highness the Prince. Mother's heartbroken your brothers and sisters, but she can't disobey the master's intentions. She blamed his mother for incompetence and can't take good care of you..." /P>
If Chu Ruoxi is reborn, I'm afraid he will really be moved when he sees Liang's present.
She lowered her eyebrows and said, "I know how good my mother is to Ruoxi..."
She looked up at Liang, "Mother, what have I done wrong, or am I not beautiful enough? His Royal Highness just doesn't like me."
Liang's eyes flowed with an imperceptible smile and advised, "Silly child, you are beautiful and national, and it is difficult to find a person who can compare with you in the capital. How can you do anything wrong when you are infatuated with His Royal Highness?"
"But His Royal Highness..."
Chu Ruoxi bit her lower lip and looked at Chu Yunxi, "Even if the prince hates me and thinks I'm not as good as the drowned Qin Yulan, isn't Yunxi's sister as good as Qin Yulan's sister?"
"Sister Ruoxi!" Chu Yunxi was shocked and looked at Chu Ruoxi puzzledly, "My sister said that my sister didn't understand."
Liang's heart tightened, winked at Chu Yunxi and asked, "Has the prince taken a fancy to Qin Yongzhong's daughter?" Didn't you drown?"
Chu Ruoxi's eyes darkened, took Chu Yunxi's hand, and her face was full of displeasure. "My mother didn't know anything. His Royal Highness privately asked the emperor to grant Qin Yulian, the youngest daughter of Qin Yongzhong, as the prince's side concubine."
Chu Ruoxi could feel that Chu Yunxi's body trembled slightly. She didn't move and continued to pretend to be childish. "I'm the crown princess. Even if the emperor wants to be the crown prince's side concubine, he will also be my sister. It's not Qin Yulian's turn."
Liang's face stiffened, and then showed a light smile and said angrily, "Yunxi is still young. How can you compare her?"
Liang sighed, "It is also his blessing to have a daughter in Qin Yong. The prince is not as good as ordinary people, and he has many wives and concubines, all of which are branches and leaves for the royal family. When you enter the palace in the next day, you are the crown princess. Don't be jealous and hateful, and don't care about those women.
Chu Ruoxi's arrogant and awe-inspiring expression suddenly, "What my mother said was that Ruoxi wrote it down."
Liang was afraid that Qin Yongzhong's daughter would be selected into the palace by the prince. She held back her anxiety and said some decent words to Chu Ruoxi and said a few words before pulling Chu Yunxi away.
Chu Ruoxi looked at Liang's hurried departure back and was secretly relieved.
-Qin Yongzhong, don't blame me for being cruel. If you want, you can only blame Qin!
After Chu Yuanshan recovered and returned to the court, the storm of the prince's injury gradually subsided. The emperor did not blame Chu Yuanshan, but was more important.
In early summer, it's a little hot and stuffy.
On the official road ten miles away from the suburbs of Beijing, dozens of officials came with a cage of prison cars from afar. The two sat on the military horse and looked in the direction of the capital. The first man shouted, "Brothers, the capital is right in front of us. When we send this devil to Shuntian Mansion, our errand will be done."
"Grandma Xiong's, he can finally pay. You little rabbits, give me a little cleverness. Don't make anything wrong in the end. I can't spare you."
"Li Kailai, what unlucky words are you talking about." The leader shouted to the people on horseback, "In front of you is Yaer Mountain. Don't relax. After Yaer Mountain, you enter the capital. I invite my brothers to go to thousands of flower buildings to drink flower wine."
His words made the dizzy official like drinking deer blood. He was excited and accelerated, and even more bumped by the horse-drawn prison car. The thick chain bumped and kept ringing.
Under the messy hair of the people on the prison van, their dusty faces were a little thin and could not see any expression. Only under their stubborn eyebrows, their black eyes burst out two terrible sharp lights, looking at the approaching capital...
As soon as the group arrived at Yaer Mountain, the leader felt that there was something wrong - this is the official road on the outskirts of the capital. Today, it is too lonely. Looking around, there is no pedestrian.
It's too late to wake up!
With a beep, the feather arrow flew in. "poof" hit him on the chest, and he shouted, "Someone robbed the prisoner..." Another feather arrow roared and shot him off the horse. More feather arrows shot the official behind him in a hurry and was overwhelmed.
A group of masked people didn't see where they came from and rushed straight to the prison car surrounded by officials, with a clear target.
Chu Zhicheng stood under the big shame tree on the hillside of Yaer Mountain and looked at the people fighting at the foot of the mountain. He was a little helpless. "Xi'er, Yu Tianxiang is a murderer and a Jiangyang thief. You are not close to him. Why do you have to save him so much?"
Chu Ruoxi played with the flowers picked casually and pouted, "I don't care. If I hadn't been lucky enough to bump into them last time I left the house, I would have been almost taken away by the bad guys. I just lack a person who has the ability to protect me. I don't care whether he is a murderer or a compassionate monk.
Chu Zhicheng shook his head and sighed, "Last time my brother was careless, but there were so many guards in the house. My brother just sent more people to protect you. How can I feel at ease by putting a demon by your side? And Yu Tianxiang is alone and never controlled by others. How can he be willing to obey your little girl?"
Chu Ruoxi smiled and pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "Yes, where did my brother find these people? I have some ability."
Chu Ruoxi successfully changed the topic.
Chu Zhicheng was a little proud, "This should be done cleanly, and you can't let the people of the government know that this is the hermit I borrowed from my second brother."
Chu Ruoxi made a flattering expression to Chu Zhicheng, "Thank you for helping me. When his second brother returns to Beijing, I will buy him a drink."
Heavy chains and nearly a month of cage abuse made the murderous murderer Yu Tianxiang a little embarrassed. Looking at the smiling little girl in front of him, Yu Tianxiang's eyes were a little cold.
Chu Ruoxi ordered someone to take Yu Tianxiang to this small farmhouse, and even his eldest brother Chu Zhicheng was expelled.
In the low grass room, the two looked at each other, and the sunlight shone diagonally on Tianxiang through the window lattice, and the dust in the halo was ethereal. After half a sound, he straightened up and looked at Chu Ruoxi.
"Who are you? Why did you save me?"
The cracked lips and fiery voice made it a little difficult for him to speak, and his voice was even more hoarse.
Chu Ruoxi was not in a hurry to answer. She was not sure whether Yu Tianxiang was the descendant of Phoenix Yu's third brother, but she had seen the weapons he used. The killing method was indeed very similar to the third brother. 100 years have passed. Will Yu Tianxiang be his own?
"Bow..."
Yu Tianxiang couldn't bear to be left alone by the gorgeous and temperamental little girl in front of him. He stepped forward and said impatiently, "No matter who you are and what the purpose is, I will never be favored by you. If you want to kill him, kill him. If you don't kill him, let your master go. Don't give me this set."
Chu Ruoxi was not scared by him. He sat in front of the wooden platform indifferently and kissed his lips, "Sh on, I won't save you in vain."
Her words were plain, but Yu Tianxiang, who was murderous, palpitated, and she couldn't help but stand up and dared not move forward.
"Sneer!" Yu Tianxiang was stunned before he came to his senses and gave a disdainful sneer, "I will be grateful to you if you saved me?"
"You're wrong. What I want is absolute loyalty to me, not gratitude!"
Chu Ruoxi stood up and approached Yu Tianxiang step by step, "Of course, if you don't want to serve me, I won't force you."
"Wang..."
The dark shadow flashed in front of Chu Ruoxi's eyes, and her neck was cold. The iron chain wrapped around her jade neck, and Yu Tianxiang's sneer was close to her ear. I want to get my loyalty, unless you die."
