"Stop!" Seeing Zhu Fan whipping the county lord of Pucheng, Zhu Biao also roared angrily.

But Zhu Fan seemed to be crazy at this time, and he turned a deaf ear to Zhu Biao's words, his face was hideous, his eyes were red, and the whip in his hand was still falling like raindrops, and the county lord of Pucheng was like a fallen leaf in a storm, trembling under Zhu Zhang's whip.

Zhu Biao was also angry at this time, stepped forward two steps and snatched the whip in Zhu Zhang's hand, and pushed the other party away, at this time Zhu Biao seemed to have discovered the arrival of Zhu Biao and others, and immediately said with a shocked face: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

"Why do you say why I'm here, look at the good things you have done, bully men and women outside, beat wives and children here, this is what you should do as a prince......"

Zhu Biao was angry, pointing at Zhu Fan is scolding, he has been really angry with Zhu Fan in the past few days, and today he simply vented it all, and Zhu Fan was also scolded for a moment, as if he didn't understand why the eldest brother was so angry.

When the county lord of Pucheng saw Zhu Biao and others coming, her face also showed a more aggrieved expression, she was now covered with scars, especially now that the weather is hot, her clothes are already relatively thin, and the clothes on her body have been torn by whips, revealing white skin and red and swollen scars, which makes the county lord of Pucheng even more ashamed and anxious, and wants to pull her clothes to cover the wounds on her body but can't do it.

Li Jie also sighed secretly when she saw this, took off her coat and draped it on the county lord of Pucheng, which made her stunned at first, and then she covered her face with her hands and cried again.

Zhu Biao scolded for a while, and finally got tired of scolding, so he asked Zhu Fan angrily: "What mistake did Pucheng make, you actually made such a ruthless hand?" ”

"I ......" Zhu Fan wanted to explain, but opened his mouth but couldn't say half of the reason.

"It's all my fault for this matter, blame me for not getting my father's consent, so I asked the royal doctor to treat my mother, my father should be angry and beat me, uncle, don't scold your father!" Unexpectedly, at this time, the county lord of Pucheng interceded for Zhu Zhang.

However, the words of the county lord of Pucheng are tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, Zhu Biao, who had just suppressed his anger, pointed at Zhu Fan again and scolded, if the county lord of Pucheng really made any mistakes, it would be fine, but she just asked the royal doctor to treat her mother, and Zhu Biao also saw the tragic situation of Princess Qin with his own eyes, which made him even more angry, and even wanted to slap Zhu Fan a few times.

Li Jie finally couldn't stand it anymore at this time, mainly because he was afraid that Zhu Biao would be angry, so he stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Highness is angry, I see that the county lord's injury is a little serious, if it is not dealt with in time, I am afraid that it will leave a scar!" ”

Zhu Biao finally calmed down when he heard Li Jie's words, and immediately glared at Zhu Fan fiercely again, and said again: "I took the princess and Pucheng away, when you figure it out, when will you go to find me again!" ”

Zhu Biao ignored Zhu Fan after speaking, picked up his niece and turned around and left, Li Jie saluted Zhu Zhang, and then turned to leave, but when he left, he secretly hid something in his sleeve.

Zhu Biao took the county lord of Pucheng to his residence, and immediately asked the imperial doctor to check her injuries, and at the same time, Princess Qin was also picked up by Zhu Biao from the cold palace-like courtyard, and sent maids and eunuchs to serve.

Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to tell Princess Qin about the injury of the county lord of Pucheng, but the county lord of Pucheng insisted on not letting it, saying that he was afraid that his mother would worry, after all, Princess Qin's health was not very good, which made Zhu Biao feel pity and distress for his niece, such a sensible daughter, how could Zhu Fan do it?

Waiting for the imperial doctor to bring the wound medicine, Li Jie and Zhu Biao and others went out, and asked the maid to give medicine to the county lord of Pucheng, and then Zhu Biao went in, and the county lord of Pucheng also bent up at this time and saluted Zhu Biao and said: "Thank you, uncle, if it weren't for the uncle, I'm afraid I ......."

The county lord of Pucheng didn't say anything in the end, but tears began to roll in his eyes, and Zhu Biao also looked at her with a look of self-reproach and said: "I am also to blame for this matter, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, it is I who did not discipline your father well, I didn't expect him to become like this, your mother and daughter suffered with him!" ”

"Uncle, don't say that, my father has a bad temper, and I don't know how to make him angry, so I blame myself for not being good!" The county lord of Pucheng said with tears in his eyes again, but when he said the end, the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help falling.

Zhu Biao also felt uncomfortable when he saw his niece's appearance, and immediately comforted her: "Pucheng, don't worry, I won't care about this matter, you and your mother can live here with peace of mind, it's really not okay, I will send someone to escort you back to the capital, and let my father personally deal with the second child at that time!" ”

Hearing Zhu Biao say this, the county lord of Pucheng also seemed to have found the backbone, and saluted Zhu Biao again with tears in his eyes: "Uncle Xie administers justice for our mother and daughter!" ”

At this time, it was not early, Zhu Biao comforted the county lord of Pucheng a few more words, and then instructed the maid to be careful, and then prepared to leave, so that the niece could rest and heal her injuries as soon as possible.

However, just when Zhu Biao turned around to leave, he found that Li Jie was standing next to him motionless, and his eyes were always staring at Pucheng, which made him stunned, and then pulled Li Jie to remind: "Let's go!" ”

"Your Highness, I have a few words I want to talk to the county lord of Pucheng alone!" Li Jie smiled at Zhu Biao.

"What do you have to talk about with Pucheng?" Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, although Li Jie is not an outsider, but he is a young man after all, and he is his son-in-law, and he took him to see Pucheng before, but if he is allowed to be alone with Pucheng, I am afraid it will be a little inappropriate.

"Your Highness, the minister has something very important to talk to the county lord, it won't take long!" Li Jie spoke again, he had been quietly observing the direction of the whole thing before, and now he finally had a guess, but this guess still needs to be confirmed from the county lord of Pucheng.

Seeing that Li Jie said so seriously, Zhu Biao finally dispelled the doubts in his heart, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you outside!" ”

Zhu Biao walked out as he spoke, Li Jie also waved his hand to let the others retreat, and only he and the county lord of Pucheng were left in the whole room.

The county lord of Pucheng also looked at him with a pair of big eyes at this time, and there seemed to be a little curiosity and confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't know why Li Jie wanted to talk to him alone.

"Does the county lord still have pain?" Li Jie pulled a stool and sat in front of the county lord of Pucheng, and then asked with a slight smile.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you brother-in-law for your concern!" The county lord of Pucheng replied with a wink, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and her tone seemed to be a little heavier when she called Li Jie "brother-in-law".

"It doesn't hurt!" Li Jie smiled again, and then spoke again, "Actually, when Yu Ning learned that I was coming to Xi'an a few years ago, she told me a few months in advance, so that I must tell her before leaving, so that she could let me help her bring a letter to the county lord." ”

"I have the best relationship with my cousin, when I was in the capital, thanks to my cousin's care, although we are not sisters, but in fact, the relationship is better than sisters!" When the county lord of Pucheng mentioned Zhu Yuning, her eyes turned red again, and it could be seen that she missed the days when she was with Zhu Yuning in the capital.

"Yu Ning said the same, and even Yun Xi said that you and Yu Ning's personalities are the most similar, and your relationship is the best." Li Jie once again followed the words of the Pucheng County Lord.

"Brother-in-law, you keep mentioning your cousin, what do you want to say?" At this time, the county lord of Pucheng raised his head and looked into Li Jie's eyes and asked, she felt that Li Jie had something to say.

Li Jie finally stopped detouring at this time, and said directly at the moment: "Although Yuning is a woman, she has a strong and strong personality, and she refuses to admit defeat when she encounters setbacks, your personality is very similar to Yuning, otherwise you would not have come out for your mother at the beginning, and even did not hesitate to bite King Qin, even if King Qin was about to beat you to death at that time, you have not shed tears!" ”

Li Jie suddenly paused when he said this, and then looked at the county lord of Pucheng with some amusement and said again: "Such a strong woman, it is really unimaginable, in just three years, you will desperately please your father, even if you are humiliated many times, you still plead for your father!" ”

As soon as Li Jie's words came out, the face of the county lord of Pucheng also turned cold all of a sudden, especially when Li Jie mentioned the events of the year, her face was even more cold, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"You also know that it was back then, people will change, and do you think that I am a weak woman, in order to protect my mother, there is any other way than to desperately please my father?" The county lord of Pucheng finally asked coldly.

"Well, you do have a reason to be wronged, then let me ask a second question!" Li Jie smiled again, "There was originally an imperial doctor in the palace, but why did you ask the royal doctor to see your mother?" ”

"Imperial Doctor Wang's medical skills are exquisite, and my father's illness was relieved a lot by drinking his medicine." The county lord of Pucheng said coldly again.

"Hehe, your mother's illness is not a serious illness in the first place, it is just caused by a dietary problem, and ordinary doctors can cure it, you can't be unaware of this, but you still ask the royal doctor to go for treatment, and with your intelligence, you must be able to guess that this matter will definitely not be hidden from the prince, and then the prince will definitely go to the king of Qin to question, but at that time, you just happened to anger the king of Qin, and was beaten by the grumpy king of Qin, this is a bit too coincidental, right?"

"You mean to say that I arranged all of this?" When the county lord of Pucheng heard this, he suddenly smiled and asked, she was originally a very beautiful woman, and being injured made her feel a little more pitiful, and this smile made me feel even more pitiful, and it was extraordinarily exciting.

However, Li Jie was like a stone, unmoved, but asked again: "Are you thinking, these are all my guesses, and there is no evidence at all, so you are not afraid of me saying it at all?" ”
