When Prince Yue calmly said, "I released the death row criminal, Tang-zou," I didn't react. Instead, I comforted him considerately, "If you let her go, then let her go. She's just a death row criminal who needs to be executed."
/p
After I said that, I felt something was wrong and asked him, "Who did you let go?"
/p
"Tang-zou shi."
/p
Alarm bells rang in my head. "What's her identity again?"
/p
"She's a death row criminal."
/p
I felt the taste of blood in my mouth, "Your Highness, according to the laws of Da Qi, what is the crime of releasing a death row criminal?"
/p
Prince Yue was silent for a while and said to me, "It's the same crime as a death row criminal."
/p
With great effort, I tried to calm my rapidly beating heart. For the time being, I asked him with a calm mind, "Then Your Highness must have a way to deal with this."
/p
Prince Yue sighed, "Let's go back and pack our luggage. We're going to escape."
/p
As soon as I heard this, wasn't it over? At this moment, I couldn't sit still. Using my legs, I pushed myself up and prepared to run. Prince Yue also stood up with me. Although he was injured, his speed wasn't slow. He hugged me from behind and asked me: "Where are you going?"
/p
I was burning with anxiety, "I'm running. Your Highness, don't worry. You rest here and recover. I'm going back to the residence to pack. Is there anything you need to bring with you?" Ah, right. Where did you put your mask? I'll have to take it all. We'll also have to bring a bit of silver. If we find a good place to settle down in the future, we can invest in our family's estate. The money will roll in, and we'll collect some profits from the estate. When the time comes, we'll keep our hands and feet to ourselves. That should be enough for us to live for the rest of our lives. "
/p
My plan was so meticulous that the Prince of Yue chuckled behind me. I was so angry that I twisted my arm to pinch the soft flesh on his waist. "You're still laughing? You're still laughing? If it weren't for such a huge trouble, would I need to be so meticulous and meticulous in my calculations? Hurry up and think about what important things you have to bring! "
/p
Prince Yue still had the time to gossip, "My most important thing is the head I'm holding in my arms!"
/p
I was furious, "Get to the point!"
/p
Prince Yue said, "Good, good, good. Fortunately, I married a qualified housekeeper. Otherwise, I would be squatting on a tree and drinking the northwest wind every day."
/p
I sighed, "If Your Highness really can't think of anything you need to bring from the residence, I'll go first. At most, I'll bring some more silver. Oh, right. Can we bring the gold from the treasury? Will it be convenient to exchange it for silver on the way? Won't they find out?"
/p
Prince Yue didn't say anything. I thought about it and agreed. How could a man who was in charge of government affairs and military affairs be proficient in all kinds of martial arts and understand the affairs of the inner residence? Forget it. In the end, I was hired with a high salary. I'll make the decision.
/p
I tried to break free, but Yue Wangye threw me into the air. He only held my hand tightly. Before I could do anything, he twisted our linked arms into a screw and made me turn 180 degrees. I wasn't afraid, I just let him fiddle with my body. I waited until the sound of the wind disappeared before I opened my eyes. Well, I was already lying on his back.
/p
I immediately froze. He reeked of blood. He was wearing a black robe and I couldn't see where he was injured. I wanted to get down because I didn't want his injuries to worsen. However, I didn't dare to get down. I was worried that if I moved, I would rub against his vitals. Helpless, I could only make a scene, "Your Highness, what are you doing? Hurry up and put me down."
/p
"I'll send you back. You've been tired all night. Isn't it good to let you rest on my back? "
/p
Fortunately, there was still a long way to go with Qing Gong, not to mention that I would have to go through a lot of cleaning up. However, my mind was still clear, and I directly scolded, "You should also care about your own poor body. If you carry me like this, what are you going to do if the wound just now opens up again?" I had to add some ointment and gauze to my bag.
/p
"You've been on the battlefield for a long time. How can you not know when to stop?"
/p
I thought about it and asked, "You can carry me, but why do you want to go back with me? If I go back alone, I won't say anything. If you haven't been convicted, the officials won't arrest me. However, if you go back, there's no guarantee that an angel will summon you to the palace. When that time comes, you won't be able to leave. "
/p
Prince Yue said, "I dared to let a prisoner on death row escape. Do you think I can't bear the consequences?"
/p
I thought about it for a moment and came back to my senses. I punched his shoulder and said, "Prince Yue, you actually dared to tease me. You even made me restless for a long time."
/p
"If it weren't for what happened just now, I wouldn't have known that the princess had such a high talent for managing a household."
/p
I punched his shoulder even more lightly with my small fist. I was too angry to speak.
/p
Prince Yue exaggeratedly cried out in pain. I glared at him and hugged his neck tightly. I said without any politeness, "You deserve the pain."
/p
Prince Yue obediently accepted it.
/p
I said, "Why haven't you gotten up yet?"
/p
Prince Yue nudged me, "Good girl, you really treat me like a mount."
/p
I snorted.
/p
Prince Yue's footsteps were much faster than mine. Taking advantage of the fact that the city gate had not yet opened, he returned to his bedroom in the Fu Fu courtyard. After he put me down, he forced himself to walk slowly to the washroom to familiarize himself with it. I waited outside the door in trepidation. I was afraid that if there was a big commotion inside, Prince Yue would fall to the ground and be unable to get up.
/p
It was rare for Jiang Gui's emotions to fluctuate so much. When she heard the sound of someone coming from the room, she immediately rushed in. Seeing my unharmed and sloppy appearance, she did not despise me and just cried out, "Wangfei, my good wangfei, nubi has been very worried this entire night. The Yellow Heaven Bodhisattva, the Eight Directions Gods, Tathagata Divine Buddha, bless you, you have finally returned safely."
/p
I was worried about the washroom. It was good to see Jiang Gui. I ordered her, "Bring the ointment from the residence. Our prince needs it."
/p
Jiang Gui was a step too late and did not see Yue Wangye return with a bloody aura. So after being stunned, he stuttered and asked an extremely strange question: "Wang, Wangfei, what kind of ointment did Wangye want? Was it placed at the head of the bed or in the pharmacy? Was it applied to the body or was it applied to the lower part of the body?"
/p
I was hit in the head by these words and almost fainted. After a while, the corners of my mouth twitched and I replied, "He wants the best ointment from the pharmacy, the kind that is used on the body. Also, bring a pile of gauze."
/p
Jiang Gui's attention was diverted from me. She finally noticed the movement in the washroom. She suddenly realized and was overjoyed. She said, "His Highness is back. Great news! This servant will go now. "
/p
I thought to myself, it's hard to say whether I should be happy or worried.
/p
Prince Yue quickly came out of the washroom. I hugged a pile of gauze and ointment and squatted by the door. Prince Yue saw me and helped me up. He asked, "Why are you squatting here? I won't run away."
/p
I glanced at him. He had already put his mask back on and changed into a clean, plain-colored silk robe. I raised the tray of ointment and gauze and asked him, "I don't remember there being any gauze and ointment in the washroom. You didn't just wash up and put on a set of clothes and come out, did you?"
/p
Prince Yue coughed guiltily and said softly, "Of course not."
/p
I looked at him suspiciously and ordered, "Go back to the room. I want to see it with my own eyes."
/p
Prince Yue said, "I remember that you received an invitation from the Imperial Uncle's wife from the Province Yan. It's almost dawn. You should go to bed and rest for a while. I will go to the study to sleep."
/p
I guessed that he was mentally strong and didn't want me to see his injuries. He wanted to avoid me, but how could he leave his injuries untreated? I thought that the direct method wouldn't work, so I decided to use a roundabout strategy. I took a step forward and looked him in the eyes. "You teased me today."
/p
Prince Yue said, "Yes."
/p
I continued, "You made me worried for a long time."
/p
Prince Yue stared blankly for a moment, his eyes filled with understanding and a warm smile. Following my words, he said: "Yes."
/p
"You fooled me at first. Shouldn't you give in to me now?"
/p
Prince Yue took the tray from my hands and took a step back. "I really can't do anything to you. Let's go. We'll go back to the room and apply ointment."
/p
Jiang Gui considerately walked us to the door and left. He tactfully closed the door behind him. Prince Yue had already reached the inner room, but his movements were hesitant. He said to me, "You know my body. It's an unlucky thing that was struck by lightning. It's really ugly."
/p
I glared at him. "I know, I know. It's a cliché."
/p
Seeing that I was about to throw a tantrum, the Yue Wangye didn't say anything else, and obediently took off the loose silk shirt he was wearing until it reached his waist. This was the first time I saw the flesh on Prince Yue's body. It was also the first time he dared to expose his body to me in front of me in this bright environment.
/p
He really was a pitiful person who was struck by lightning. His body was the same as his hands. They were covered in dark red patterns that looked like the roots of an old tree. At first glance, it looked like there were billions of centipedes crawling all over his body. But aside from these frightening scars, there were a few light grey old scars and a dozen new wounds that hadn't healed yet. The new wounds were probably inflicted by a knife, spear, or axe tonight. The bright red flesh was trying hard to turn outwards, but the owner didn't care. He took a thin thread from his clothes and sewed it crookedly. There was no need to apply ointment, as long as it didn't bleed.
/p
Looking at his body, I trembled with fear. While carefully applying medicine and bandaging the new wound, I felt an indescribable sadness in my heart. I could only quietly complain, "It's not your fault that you didn't want me to see your face. This lightning strike scar is not as frightening as the one you got the day after tomorrow."
/p
Prince Yue said, "In order to live, it's good enough that I only have a few scars."
/p
I bandaged Prince Yue's wounds for a long time. Even the two cups of brown sugar ginger tea that Jiang Gui had specially brewed for me were cold. I looked at him with satisfaction as I wrapped his body in gauze. The fragrance of herbs permeated the entire room. It almost overflowed.
/p
Prince Yue got onto the bed and reached out his hand to me, "Thank you for your hard work, Princess."
/p
I naturally held his hand and climbed onto the bed. I turned around and laid down beside Prince Yue. His injuries weren't serious this time. Although there were many deep wounds, each of them had avoided the vital parts of his body. I used two whole bottles of ointment to apply the ointment. Although I cleaned my hands, I couldn't get rid of the cool smell on them.
/p
Prince Yue saw that I was leaving my hand hanging, so he reached out to grab it. He grabbed my hand and rubbed it fiercely. Then, he brought it to his mouth and kissed it. I pulled my hand back angrily and asked him, "I haven't asked you yet. Tang Zou will be executed at noon today. No matter how capable you are, if the executioner can't see you during the execution, he will continue to investigate it. The Tang family's case of rebellion was personally handled by the Emperor. You released a person for no reason. There was no imperial edict or explanation. How do you explain it? "
/p
Prince Yue said, "I have an explanation. It depends on who comes to ask me for an explanation."
/p
"What do you mean?"
/p
Prince Yue didn't want to continue, so I had to change the topic, "After all, it was Prince Yue who released Tang Zou. When the time comes to arrest her, Prince Yue will have to come forward to redeem himself. I'm really ashamed. I'm also from the Tang family. I didn't know that the first wife of the Tang family had such skills. "
/p
Prince Yue glanced at me, "You fought with her." This was a definite statement.
/p
I said, "Didn't you also fight with her?"
/p
"How did you fight with her?"
/p
I put my hands in front of us, one high and one low, and simulated the fighting scene at that time, "She was standing on a branch, and I was standing on the ground. Then, she suddenly flew down."
/p
Prince Yue grabbed my hand and abruptly stopped my vivid scene, "I'm not asking you how you fought. I'm asking you how you went out last night and provoked the fleeing Mrs. Zou of the Tang Family. Do you know that if I hadn't fought with her before, half of the fireflies would have been enough to make you suffer? "
/p
For this question, I answered a little stutteringly, "Well, it's a long story."
/p
"It's not a long story. Just tell me who lured you out."
/p
Don't look at Prince Yue's cultured, refined, and indifferent appearance, as if he didn't hesitate to speak one more word, but when it came to serious matters, he hit the nail on the head. Unable to outsmart him, I could only raise my hands in surrender and tell him the truth: "It was the seventh prince, Yang Yuanlang."
/p
I saw Prince Yue's hair move on his forehead. His eyebrows were tightly knitted.
/p
I hurriedly added, "I reported the case!"
/p
Prince Yue said, "He even reported the case. What method did he use to lure you out?"
/p
I honestly confessed, "Someone threw a dagger into my bag, and under the dagger was a small piece of paper."
/p
"You went out?"
/p
I waved my hand and said, "Listen to me first. He didn't write any nonsense on the note. He only wrote two sentences, 'In the water forest, I see the green, and in the water forest, I see the yellow.' Think about it, he clearly said Rehmannia Glutinosa. How could I not go?"
/p
Prince Yue's eyes could kill people, "Breaking into the inner residence, meeting the eldest sister-in-law in private, Old Seven really went too far this time."
/p
I comforted him, "It's not too much. After all, he gave me Rehmannia Glutinosa."
/p
"Where's the bead?"
/p
I paused and murmured, "It was snatched away by the Zou family of the Tang Dynasty again."
/p
Prince Yue looked at my appearance. His body was weak, and most of the light in his eyes was gone. After listening to my lame explanation, he was too lazy to blame me. He hugged my shoulder, and the two of us rolled on the bed to have a good rest.
/p
I pushed him, and said to the Seventh Prince in a very loyal manner, "Yang Yuanlang went to chase after Little Tang Zou, and we still haven't received any news yet. Will something happen to him?"
/p
Prince Yue hugged me even tighter, and his voice, which had always been clear, was a little stuttering, "No, how could Mrs. Zou of Little Tang hurt Old Seven?"
/p
This information was worth pondering over. I wanted to ask more, but the Prince of Yue had already fallen into a deep sleep. He had fought for a day and a night, so he was exhausted. Seeing him fall asleep, I didn't make any more noise. I just carefully got up a little and called Jiang Gui over. I had her wake me up in time to meet the Imperial Brother-in-law.
/p
Jiang Gui patted her chest and said, "I'll take care of this matter."
/p
I also fell asleep. The sound of the iron chain rang twice in my ears, but I was too lazy to investigate further.
/p
Around the time of the three in the morning and before the five in the morning, Jiang Gui dutifully pushed open the door and came in to wake me up. I covered my eyes and first touched the spot next to the bed. There was no warmth, and I couldn't feel the other person. Jiang Gui stifled a laugh and reminded me, "Wangye only slept for an hour before pushing himself up and entering the palace to see the Emperor."
/p
I muttered, "So early."
/p
"Prince always gets up early, but Wangfei has to get up quickly today. Xiao Yu just came over and told me that the one in Tsukasawa Dō has already woken up. She's almost done dressing up. She should be able to come and greet Wangfei in about an hour. "
/p
I yawned and was dragged in front of the dressing mirror by Jiang Gui, "Are you in such a hurry?"
/p
"Pei pei, it's so early in the morning. Wangfei, what are you talking about!"
/p
This little girl, she's climbing all over me. She even dares to control her master?
/p
I giggled and gestured at my reflection in the mirror, where the two girls were giggling and giggling.
/p
Jiang Gui took a few hairpins and compared them to my hair bun. She asked me, "Wangfei, we have to be proper for this banquet. The children of the Imperial Uncle, the Marquess of Shou Yang, and the relatives of the Prince of the Four Directions are all invited. This servant will dress Wangfei up more luxuriously. It will also be better to suppress this group of noble women who are looking up."
/p
I didn't agree and ordered Jiang Gui, "Dress up more elegantly."
/p
Jiang Gui didn't understand. I had to patiently explain to her, "In the end, I'm the daughter of the Tang family. The Tang family deserves to be punished. I can't be the one who stands out at this time."
/p
Jiang Gui secretly hated, "In the end, it's that group of greedy bastards who dragged Wangfei down."
/p
I sighed and said, "In the end, blood relations can't be disregarded. I don't know what Consort Xian's side is planning."
