Chapter 5: Counting is Counting
The prince rubbed his hands. The face of the woman in front of her was like congealed fat, white, pure and delicate.
He had never seen such good skin before, and even the most bewitching beauty in the imperial city could not compare.
At this point, he was reluctant to let her die, not to mention that he hadn't asked her what was going on with Banyue.
"Don't take your own life, if you have any grievances, you can say to this palace, and this palace will administer justice for you." The prince gently persuaded Mi to smile.
Suicide? Mi Hanxiao's mind flashed over this strange word, and when he searched, oh, humans love water but fear water, because they will drown in the water.
They thought they were trying to kill themselves, not run for their lives?
Anyway, it's going to be counted.
She said to the prince aggrievedly: "Your Highness, the little girl has nothing to say, she just wants to die." β
Ban Yue glared at her, and the corners of his mouth slid away with a mocking meaning: Lie!
She has never lived with her, why should she seek death because of herself? She must have wanted to escape from the sea, otherwise she wouldn't have done this.
I wanted to expose her, but after thinking about it, no, if the prince knew that she swam ashore, he would definitely say that his coastal defense was lax, and the consequences would be much more serious than playing with women by himself.
Out of self-preservation, he remained silent and watched how things unfolded.
The prince rubbed his hands nervously. You must not let her die, wouldn't it be wonderful to keep her tossing like Yue?
He approached Banyue, pretended to give him face, lowered his voice, and said exaggeratedly: "Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and there are really many people who sue you." This palace has helped you to suppress it because you have been a companion of this palace since you were a child. But you blasphemed women in the barracks, seriously violated military discipline, and had a bad impact, and this palace cannot bend the law for personal gain. β
After speaking, he put on an iron-faced and selfless appearance and ordered: "Come on, arrest this demon woman!" β
His attendant immediately stepped forward and grabbed the woman's arm, one left and one right.
Ban Yue didn't say anything about this, thinking that this woman could come and go freely in the sea, she must be a Bang Shi who spies on the military, and she must be afraid that her identity will be exposed.
She must have known her situation, otherwise she wouldn't have taken advantage of herself so blatantly.
Mi Hanxiao didn't expect that there would be such rules in the military camp, he was really smart before, but he was smart and mistaken.
But one thing is very strange, I obviously heard the prince threatening the general, why didn't he make a defense?
Since the general acquiesced in his lies, no matter what the reason, of course he had to rely on him, and if he didn't believe him, he would die and not be saved.
She looked at Ban Yue and said resentfully: "General, why did you stand by and watch the little girl be humiliated like this? Is it really so ruthless? β
Of course Banyue was unmoved, why should I save you? I have nothing to do with you! If you don't expose you, it's already a great favor for you, and you have the ability to escape from the prince's hands yourself,
Seeing that Banyue did not interfere, the prince smiled fiercely, approached the woman, and looked close to her face, only to see that her skin was crystal clear, and she couldn't see the pores at all.
It's a great treasure to be able to do this without powder.
He couldn't help but touch it with his fingers, but before he could touch it, his foot felt a huge pain, and he stiffened up.
The woman withdrew her feet, this hateful prince, moved her hands and feet, so presumptuous, she had to abolish him, and stomping his toes was polite to him.
Everyone looked at it and felt surprised, is the prince really in pain or fake in pain? The woman was so delicate that she stepped on his boots with her bare feet, and he screamed so loudly.
It should be the woman's foot that hurts, not him, right?
"You...... Look for death! The prince regained his strength and drew his sword in anger.
His entourage didn't expect the prince to be really angry, so he came to help him, protecting him by his side, and the sword was pointed at the woman.
Mi Han smiled and was unwilling, he just went ashore, and he didn't do anything, so he was going to die? This human being is really cruel and ruthless, including the cold general with a paralyzed face.
She said in despair: "You don't have a good person! β
Ban Yue thought to herself, this woman is brave and strategic, not afraid of danger, as a state scholar, she is really in the hands of the prince, with the character of the prince playboy, if she is confused, I don't know how many court secrets she will hear.
Therefore, she must be intercepted, firstly, to use her to learn about the enemy, and secondly, to prevent her from continuing to be evil.
Although it may offend the crown prince because of this, it is necessary to do the lesser of the two.
He decisively knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to confess to the prince: "Your Highness, this woman doesn't understand the rules of the camp, and it is the fault of the lower official that causes her to be so foolish, please let this woman go, and punish the lower official if you want to punish it." β
"Of course you have to be punished, arrest them both!" The prince was eager to punish him, but he sent it to the door himself.
But the retinue did not listen this time.
Father-in-law Ochre trotted over and whispered to the prince to explain that Banyue had a gold medal for avoiding death, and no one could move it unless there was a holy decree from the emperor.
The prince suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
I can't figure it out, Ban Yue just blocked a stray arrow for his father in the process of hunting, why the emperor was so impulsive, and even rewarded him with a gold medal on the spot, and said that no one can touch half of his hair except me.
It's so bad that this prince is now in front of him, and he has a false name!
"Banyue, this palace will let you go for the time being, but we must not let this woman continue to stay in the barracks and shake the hearts of the army. Take her away! The prince found himself a step.
This was the first time that Banyue felt the power of the death-free gold medal, so he was naturally no longer afraid, and immediately got up, blocked Mi Hanxiao's way with his sword, and his eyes looked at the prince like a sharp sword: "This general will do what he says." β
"Banyue, don't toast or eat!" After the prince finished speaking, he ordered his entourage, "Take this demon woman away from the palace!" β
Before his words fell, Banyue used his unsheathed sword to knock over the person who was holding Mi Hanxiao's smile like lightning, and pulled her to his side to protect her.
"You want to rebelβ" The prince's face was blue and white, and his fingers were like Yue.
"This is the woman of the lower official, no one wants to take it away, unless you take the lower official." Banyue's eyes were like torches, and he did not back down.
Mi Hanxiao couldn't help but look up at him.
The golden sunset shone above his sword eyebrows, and his high nose and angular face looked handsome.
Such a temperament had to make her have a good impression of him.
She simply played the play more realistically, put her arms around his waist, pressed her head against his chest, and looked at the prince defiantly.
The prince was jealous, as if she was her own, but she was snatched away by Banyue.
The anger rushed to the brain, and the prince angrily ordered his entourage: "Take away the demon woman!" β
Those followers pointed their swords at Banyue, but no one dared to take a step forward.
"Are you dead? Is the words of this palace the wind in your ears? Come on! The prince shouted.
A bolder man stepped forward and raised his sword tremblingly and stabbed at Banyue.
Zi Ning was nervous, hating himself for not daring to protect the general in front of the prince.
Hearing Mi Han laugh and scream, Banyue's sword was mercilessly plunged into the man's chest, and blood burst out.
No one dared to step forward now.
Banyue's murder is called self-defense, but when others hurt him, it is called disobeying the holy decree, which is a capital crime, and no one wants to give up his head for the sake of the prince's impulse.
Fearing that the situation would expand, Father-in-law Ochre reminded the prince again: "Your Highness, you can't do it, only the emperor can move the general." β
The prince endured his anger and threatened: "Banyue, you are obsessed, do you know the consequences?" β
"One person does the same thing."
"I'm afraid that you will be ruined by this woman. This palace advises you, it is better to hand her over to this palace now, and this palace guarantees not to care about previous suspicions. "The prince has now reached the point where he can't stop, and the more he can't get Mi Hanxiao, the more he wants to get it.
"She is with the lower officials. If His Highness wants to take him away, he will not kill the lower officer. Ban Yue replied forcefully.
"You ......" the prince's face turned pale. He understands this stubborn donkey, the guy who refused to admit his mistake at the beginning, once he drills the tip of the horns, he will not bow his head when he kills him.
Mi smiled and gave a thumbs up to Banyue.
This further stimulated the prince, and threatened: "If you want her, this palace will break off with you!" βγ
"The lower officials have no regrets."
"Damn!" As soon as the prince stomped his foot, the toe that had been stepped on was still in pain, and he left angrily with a painful face.
