Xuan Pei smiled as he swept his gaze over the people in the courtyard. When those eyes fell on them, they did not know why, but they felt that this child was overbearing and did not dare to look directly at him. Unexpectedly, they were awed by his imposing manner. Xuan Pei slowly opened his mouth and said, "One has been beaten to death. You will take over the position of personal palace maid." He casually pointed at an unfamiliar palace maid in the crowd. That palace maid had only been assigned to Xuan Pei courtyard two days ago, and was still a third-rank palace maid. Suddenly, she was promoted to a first-rank palace maid. She immediately bowed and said, "This servant Ming Yue thanks Your Highness for your grace."
"You..." Lu Zhu was both embarrassed and anxious. She made a pose to hit her, and the two of them quarreled in the room. Perhaps because today's request had gone smoothly, Jiang Ruan's lips also overflowed with a smile.
If it had been her, if it had been her... Jiang Su Su's heart trembled. What would Jiang Quan do? He probably would not have the courage to acknowledge her, and would have turned and left as a stranger. If it had been a few years ago, Jiang Su Su would certainly have believed that Jiang Quan would disregard everything to save her. However, ever since the incident with Xia Yan, and the matter of Jiang Quan making her his sister-in-law, Jiang Su Su's heart had grown estranged from Jiang Quan. Jiang Quan was so selfish, and only cared about the Jiang fu's reputation. Would he really disregard everything for her?
The eunuchs and palace maids in this courtyard were a mix of crooks and honest folk. There were very few who had not bullied Xuan Pei before, but now, they looked down and did not dare to say another word. After witnessing Xuan Pei's methods, how could they dare to have any other thoughts? They could only be terrified.
The man spat, but did not move in the slightest. He only laughed sinisterly and said, "The things that I, Blade Scar Li, have set my eyes on have never flown away. A high-ranking official in the capital? Can a high-ranking official in the capital raise such a shameless young lady? Are you trying to scare me into not knowing? Young lady, today, even if you say that you are a nuisance princess, I will still take care of you all the same! "
This was a bandit's lair located deep in the mountains. The people who lived in this village were all burly men like these bandits. There was not even a single old person or child. Of course, there were also some women who were captured from outside. These women had no status here. They were like objects that could be given to others at will. They even had to serve many men at once. Therefore, the lifespan of women here would not be too long — no one could withstand such inhumane torture. From time to time, the men here would go down the mountain to bring some new women up, and everyone was used to it. However, it was rare to see a high-class woman like Scarface Li. Everyone was envious of Scarface Li. When they gathered together, they would say some superficial sour words.
"No …. No … " Jiang Su Su wanted to escape, but her whole body had long been tormented by Dao Scarface Li to the point where she didn't have a trace of strength left. How could she have any extra energy left? Immediately, she was pushed down by Scarface Li.
…
It seemed that ever since that day when Jiang Ruan had helped Xuan Pei out of his predicament in front of Princess He Yi, Xuan Pei had begun to slowly change. The palace maid did not understand how such a small matter could change Xuan Pei. Or perhaps, Xuan Pei had always been pretending, and that matter was just a prelude. Now, he had decided to tear off his mask and show his true face?
Alone on the bed, Jiang Su Su's tears silently flowed down her cheeks. She did not know how things had turned out this way. The young master who had come to rescue her had not appeared, and she had been taken back to the bandit's lair by the mountain bandits. Whenever she recalled the scene just now, Jiang Su Su could not help but tremble all over. Dao Scarface Li was a demon, and his actions were extremely heavy. Moreover, he had taken possession of her body. Jiang Su Su painfully closed her eyes and grabbed the quilt under her hands. Now that she was living like this, there was no hope of escaping. If she became the exclusive property of such a person, it would be better to be a nun in a temple.
Jiang Su Su saw that this person was so stubborn, and the young master in the letter had not come after so long. She panicked and turned to run out, shouting loudly for help, "Someone, help me!"
…
Ming Yue thought for a moment, "It was Hong An Junzhu who said that His Highness lacked someone who knew martial arts by his side, so Master sent this servant here."
When they returned to the room, Lian Qiao recounted everything that had happened today to Jiang Ruan. At the end, she said, "Miss, this servant acted on her own accord. Please punish me."
After standing for a while, Ye Feng seemed to remember something and hurriedly flew away. In a hidden cave a few miles away, a young woman was sitting in the same place, glaring at him. Seeing him return, she finally heaved a sigh of relief, but the first thing she asked was, "Has the matter been settled?"
The night was as dark as ink. In the depths of the forest, there was a village. At this moment, there were still some voices, accompanied by some noisy clamor and vulgar curses. A group of shirtless men squatted at the door, and there were some wine pots scattered on the ground. In the midst of the overwhelming smell of alcohol, one of them said, "I heard that Dao Scarface Li brought a woman back today? That woman looks pretty good. "
What kind of family did the mountain bandits have? Their temperament was crude, and it was even more impossible for them to have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex. When Jiang Su Su entered the mountain bandits' lair, she had encountered a group of tigers and wolves. Those mountain bandits had always been generous to women. Jiang Su Su was naturally arrogant and would certainly not serve the man tenderly. Thinking about the consequences of angering the man, Ye Feng could not help but sigh for Jiang Su Su.
Jiang Su Su was startled, and in her heart, she understood that this person was definitely not the one who had sent the letter. Looking again at this person, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a fiendish appearance, she could not help but feel her legs tremble. However, she still forced herself to calm down and said, "What do you want? Do you know who I am? My father is a high-ranking official in the capital. Take advantage of the fact that my bodyguards have not arrived yet, and quickly scram. "
Lian Qiao turned her face away and softly cursed at her bad luck, but her face quietly reddened. Seeing this, Ye Feng also felt somewhat awkward. The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became somewhat strange. Ye Feng coughed lightly and said, "Let's go back to the fu."
"I don't blame you." Jiang Ruan said, "Ye Feng would have done the same thing. After all, he is Xiao Shao's man."
The servants looked at each other in dismay, and a few palace maids glared at Ming Yue before taking their leave. Xuan Pei turned to enter the room and sat down at the desk in the room. Ming Yue closed the door and entered as well, standing in front of Xuan Pei. Only then did Xuan Pei raise his head and look at Ming Yue, "Did Jinying Wang send you?"
Hearing this, Xuan Pei became even happier. Squinting his eyes, he smiled and said, "Of course, she is my …" His words suddenly paused before he continued, "I am the person who will testify for her."
That palace maid looked at Xuan Pei with some disbelief. She did not know whether Xuan Pei was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. If he was really stupid, how could she, the spy, be pulled out so easily? If he was pretending to be stupid, Xuan Pei clearly knew that she was from that side. How could he have the guts to easily punish her?
"What virgin," a big, fat man wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I heard that when she was meeting her lover, she was seen by Blade Scar Li. How can she be clean when she has already pledged her marriage to someone else? " He revealed a wretched smile, "It's just letting him have a taste first. When he's done playing, we can also get a share!"
Moreover, Blade Scar Li's words just now had indeed pierced her heart. Indeed, once such a thing happened to the daughter of a wealthy family, if she was kidnapped by bandits, her entire life would be equivalent to being ruined. Even if she was finally brought back, most of the time, she would only be fed a pill. That woman would also be able to extricate herself, and her family would not have to be laughed at by others.
"Wishful thinking." Jiang Su Su sneered. Even at this moment, her attitude had not softened in the slightest. Her eyes were filled with the desire to peel off Dao Ba Li's skin and eat Dao Ba Li's flesh. "When my father finds me, he will definitely not let you off!"
After the man left with Jiang Su Su, a person appeared in the forest. Under the moonlight, his features were clear. It was Ye Feng. He whistled, knowing that Jiang Ruan's task had been completed. Today, Jiang Ruan had merely borrowed his hand to deliver the letter to Jiang Su Su. As for the wilderness and forest area, the bandits had to pass through at night to return to their lair. As a member of the Jinyi Guard, Ye Feng knew this, but he did not know how Jiang Ruan, a lady, knew about it. However, in the end, he still somewhat admired Jiang Ruan's divine foresight. Perhaps because she and Jiang Su Su were both daughters of the Jiang fu, she was also very familiar with Jiang Su Su's temperament. She actually knew that with Jiang Su Su's temperament, once she saw that letter, she would definitely escape and think of a way to not be a sister-in-law.
Bai Zhi saw Ye Feng standing outside the courtyard. She thoughtfully looked at Lian Qiao and softly said, "Let's go back to the room and talk."
Ye Feng sighed in his heart. Jiang Ruan's method was really sinister. She had given Jiang Su Su hope, and then Jiang Su Su had personally witnessed this hope shattering in front of her eyes. One could imagine how devastated she was. Jiang Ruan did not let anyone directly kidnap Jiang Su Su, but only guided her slightly, piecing together a series of coincidences. Even if Jiang Quan finally investigated, he would only find out that Jiang Su Su had voluntarily escaped from the carriage. As for Jiang Su Su's ending, it was completely her doing. In the future, when Jiang Su Su thought of this matter, would her intestines turn green?
The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids did not dare to make a sound, and motionlessly hung their heads. The palace maid kneeling on the ground was still pleading, "Thirteenth Highness, this servant was momentarily blinded by greed. In the future, I will not dare to do it again. I beg Your Highness to spare this servant's life, for the sake of this servant serving Your Highness for so many years."
In a dilapidated house in the village, after the thought-provoking voice had passed, there was a 'pa' sound. Someone had used a match to light up the oil lamp in the house, and the optical fiber inside immediately lit up. A faintly smelly thin blanket was spread on the extremely dirty wooden bed. At this moment, the thin blanket was covered with stains, and a woman was lying on her back.
That person laughed mischievously, "Where did this young lady come from, coming to this desolate wilderness to meet her lover in the middle of the night. It's just that your little lover didn't keep the appointment tonight, making you sad for nothing. Why don't Laoye come and comfort you? "
But in this desolate wilderness, she had just run for a long time in order to shake off that group of imperial bodyguards. She was so far away that her voice only drifted a few times in the wilderness outside the forest before it dissipated. Immediately after, a strong force dragged her back from behind. Jiang Su Su was suddenly pulled from behind, and with a 'pa' sound, a slap landed on her face. This person was not Jiang Quan, so naturally, he would not have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex. With a heavy slap, Jiang Su Su almost fainted, and blood flowed from the corner of her lips.
"You … what do you want to do?" Jiang Su Su was startled, and asked with trembling lips.
When the two of them returned to Jinying Wang fu, Lian Qiao had just walked into the courtyard when she saw Lu Zhu hurriedly coming to greet her. She looked her up and down, and upon seeing that she was fine, let out a sigh of relief, "Where did you go? Why did you only return now? "
However, Lu Zhu looked at Lian Qiao with a grin and said, "Sister Lian Qiao really cares about Guard Ye. Why is it that your words are trying to absolve Guard Ye? It can't be that your heart aches for him, right? "
The palace maid suddenly understood and screamed, "Your Highness, don't — no —" Immediately after, her mouth was gagged, and she struggled to whimper. A few sturdy old women dragged the palace maid away. Everyone was silent, and watched as that immature Highness turned around and sat back on the chair by the door, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Feng stood in the rustling cold wind and could not help but shiver. In his heart, he thought that this future Young Madam was indeed formidable. Her skill in killing people without spilling blood could be considered to have reached perfection. In the future, he must serve her carefully, and must not provoke her. Not to mention that the Young Master was making decisions for Young Madam, just Young Madam alone was enough to toy with the people of Jinying Wang fu to death.
"You damned hussy, you dare to talk nonsense in front of a young lady. See if I don't tear your mouth apart." However, Lian Qiao was not a gentle person. She immediately replied in a shrewd manner, "I don't know who was it that chatted and laughed with that Jiner every day. Today, you must have seen that you were embroidering a handkerchief. Is that handkerchief for Jiner?"
The man in the lead chuckled, "Young lady, don't be afraid. Brother Dao Ba said that you don't understand the rules, so he specially sent us brothers to teach you the rules. Don't be afraid, we are very gentle."
"It's her!" Xuan Pei immediately sat up straight. His current stature was small, and when he sat on the oversized chair, it was rather comical. However, he appeared to be in an extremely good mood and said, "I just knew that with Jinying Wang's temperament, she would definitely not be so kind. She's still kind-hearted and considerate. "
Two palace maids stood on both sides with lanterns in their hands. Under the heavy curtain of night, the tender face of the child standing in the middle appeared somewhat gloomy under the light of the lanterns. He appeared even more delicate and delicate, just like the child of wealth in the stories. However, under that delicate and sweet appearance, there was a pair of eyes that were like an ancient well without ripples. The palace maid raised her head and met the child's gaze. Immediately, she was startled by those cold and serene eyes. She only felt that it was as if an evil spirit had crawled out from hell and had come out to claim the life of a murderer.
Dao Ba Li was enraged and immediately sent a slap flying. This boorish man's strength was surprisingly great, and Jiang Su Su's head tilted to the side. Her sweaty hair stuck to her cheeks. Immediately, there was a salty and fishy taste in her mouth.
"Naturally, I won't blame him." Jiang Ruan was somewhat amused, "Since it's done, then there's nothing else. Rest early."
Her mind was in a mess, and the sharp pain in her body had not yet subsided when she heard the door being kicked open. Jiang Su Su thought that Dao Ba Li had returned, and her body immediately trembled. Turning her head to look, she discovered that it was a few shirtless strangers who were striding towards her with large strides. Their eyes flashed with an unclear light.
Xuan Pei waved his hand and looked at Ming Yue, "You come in with me. Everyone else, withdraw."
Every place had its own opportunities for marriage. For example, at this moment, in a corner of the palace, in the courtyard of the Thirteenth Prince's residence, Xuan Pei stood with his hands behind his back, coldly looking at the palace maid kneeling before him.
"That's right, I don't know what kind of luck he's walking on. Looking at her appearance, she's still a virgin. "Another person said," He got lucky for no reason! "
Xuan Pei slowly looked at her, "Is that so? Precisely because of this, the servant who has served me for so many years has such a filthy heart. Even if I spare you, in the future, I will definitely not be able to set the rules. Imperial Father is a person who attaches the most importance to the rules. "
The hatred in Jiang Su Su's eyes immediately enraged Knife Scar Li. Without saying anything further, he slapped her again, "You're still dreaming! Among the women who come to me, there are many young ladies from noble families! I see that you're still not sober. If you give your body to me today, even if your father, who is a high-ranking official, finds you in the future, will he tolerate you? Wealthy families are the most selfish, I have seen too many of them. In the end, I just pretended not to know you, that's all. You still dare to act pretentiously in front of me, it seems that you haven't learned your lesson! "After saying this, he coldly snorted, and without even looking at Jiang Su Su, picked up the clothes on the table and left.
Xuan Pei noticed her expression and smiled slightly, "So, it's not that I don't want to spare you, it's that I really have the heart but I'm powerless." After saying this, he indifferently turned around. The auspicious beast embroidered at the corner of his robe bared its fangs and brandished its claws, streaking across the night like a dark ray. His voice was accompanied by the sound of the wind in the moonlight as it floated over, carrying a childish cruelty.
When the others heard this, they all revealed a tacit smile.
The man looked her up and down, then suddenly laughed and said, "You're a fiery one, and you're also beautiful. Good, I have profited today! I'll bring you back to the mountain, and tonight we'll consummate our marriage! "After saying this, regardless of Jiang Su Su's weak struggles, he carried her on his shoulder and walked towards the forest.
Lian Qiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Imperial Bodyguard Ye also wanted to help this servant, I hope that Miss will not blame him. Today's matter, in any case, is settled …"
Xuan Pei frowned, "Meddling in other people's business." The way he frowned was somewhat childish, like a child throwing a tantrum.
Lian Qiao was still rubbing her nose when she suddenly felt a warmth on her body. She raised her head and saw that Ye Feng had taken off his outer robe and draped it over her body. He said, "Cough, today it's all my fault, I've implicated you."
Jiang Su Su seemed to have finally reacted. She turned her head with difficulty and fiercely spat at Knife Scar Li Zai.
Previously, it wasn't that everyone didn't think about it, but they just felt that the Thirteenth Prince was still a child who wasn't even ten years old. He was young and soft-hearted. Moreover, although this personal palace maid bullied her master, she had a glib tongue and was able to coax Xuan Pei into a happy mood. It was inevitable that he would invite her over. Who knew that this Little Master would be so decisive and make a decision without even thinking about it? For a moment, the people in the courtyard couldn't help but ponder. Some were happy about this, while others were secretly alarmed and shouted that it was bad.
This group of burly men were all middle-aged, and their bodies had more or less scars from knives and swords. Their appearances were also fierce and fiendish, and their bodies reeked of sweat and alcohol. It was a little disgusting.
Ye Feng looked at Lian Qiao in astonishment. He originally thought that Lian Qiao's first words would be to scold him, but he didn't expect that her first words of concern would be the task. Ye Feng snapped his fingers, "Naturally, it's settled." It was a windy night in the wilderness, and Lian Qiao was only wearing a thin emerald green dress. She couldn't help but sneeze. Seeing this, Ye Feng's heart gave birth to a faint layer of guilt. Speaking of which, he was also impulsive today, directly kidnapping Lian Qiao. Lian Qiao couldn't return to the fu for a long time, and she was afraid of delaying Jiang Ruan's matters. Helpless, she could only hand over the letter to him. In order to prove that he was indeed capable of handling such a small matter, Ye Feng ignored Lian Qiao's protests and brought Lian Qiao along.
The second-rank palace maids in the courtyard originally wanted to take this opportunity to show off, but they didn't expect to be pushed away by a newcomer. They were all unhappy and wanted to say a few words. When they saw Xuan Pei's smiling expression, they couldn't help but shiver. Thinking that this Little Master was no longer someone who could be easily fooled in the past, they could only suppress the indignation in their hearts and forcefully endure it.
This woman's eyes were wide open, and her originally beautiful face was full of red marks and palm prints. It was obvious that she had suffered a great deal of abuse. As for her entire body, there wasn't a single piece of good flesh. Just looking at the purple marks would make one tremble. At this moment, her body was placed in an unbearable position, but she didn't move at all. She had already been tossed around until she didn't have a trace of strength left.
"Smelly whore, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!" Knife Scar Li stretched out his hand and firmly pinched Jiang Su Su's chin, "Such a beautiful face, I still want to keep it for a few more days to be happy!"
Knife Scar Li sat up and looked at Jiang Su Su while putting on his clothes. When his gaze fell on Jiang Su Su's spotlessly white neck, he couldn't help but shift his gaze. He leaned over and kissed her fiercely.
"Beat her to death."
There were many ways to torture people in the world, but it was rare to completely destroy their spirit. Jiang Su Su wholeheartedly wanted to climb into a noble family and live a superior life, but once she entered the mountain bandits' lair, she could no longer easily come out. Every day, she would have to live a lowly life. Wasn't that more painful than beating and killing her?
Ming Yue nodded.
The palace maid just now was originally Xuan Pei's personal palace maid. For so many years, she had been a slave who bullied her master. However, she had a backer behind her and could be considered an informer. It was just that she had always been by the side of the obscure Thirteenth Prince. Perhaps she felt that there was no future, so she acted unscrupulously. Since the last time he had helped Jiang Ruan testify, Xuan Pei's conduct had become somewhat unusual. Unfortunately, this palace maid had not noticed it and was still so arrogant. She didn't expect Xuan Pei to be the first to use her as an example. He casually found a reason to beat her to death.
She raised her head and once again looked at Xuan Pei seriously. However, she was surprised to find that she really couldn't connect the young boy in front of her with the child in her memory. The child in front of her had not yet grown up, but he already had a faint aura of an emperor. That pair of eyes were as transparent as colored glass, but it was impossible to see the bottom of them. There was always a bright and beautiful smile on his face, even when he was reprimanded by others. He didn't show his joy or anger on his face. Had this child already reached such a stage of not showing his emotions?
After accompanying this incompetent Thirteenth Prince for so many years, she had always thought that she could firmly grasp this prince in the palm of her hand. From a young age, he had often beaten and scolded her. She didn't know when, but this child seemed to have changed into a different person. He no longer cowardly hid behind others, but instead, he made others feel intimidated.
If this had happened to Xiao Shao, it would have been like meddling in other people's business, but if it had happened to Jiang Ruan, it would have been kindness and consideration. The difference was too big. Ming Yue suppressed her laughter and said, "Your Highness and Junzhu must have been brought together by fate. Your expressions and mannerisms are seventy percent similar."
When Jiang Su Su saw this, her heart went cold. She took two steps back and said, "Who are you?"
