Chapter 4: Aren't You Afraid?
Before nightfall, Zhao Yan walked to Tang Xinyu's residence.
The people in the courtyard sat on the stone bench, their white clothes scattered all over the ground, and the tiny jujube flowers fell all over their bodies, holding their foreheads and not knowing what to think, but they hurriedly got up and saluted when they heard the sound.
"Steward Zhao."
"Miss Tang doesn't have to be polite, I'm just a subordinate and can't afford it. I don't know if I can still get used to living these days? Zhao Yan stepped forward.
"Nature is excellent."
Zhao Yan said the purpose of this trip, "That's good, do you have any plans to go home?" ”
“……… Steward Zhao means to let me go? What does Chitose mean? Tang Xinyu thought for a moment and asked.
That master has not let her go so far, she has already guessed seven or eight points in her heart, and she didn't think that she would be sent away so soon.
"The palace is full of men, no better than the palace boudoirs of the family, careful and thoughtful, there are people to take care of everywhere, Chitose Lord is for your good, and specially prepared 10,000 gold for you, and sent someone to send you back." Zhao Yan said euphemistically.
He actually couldn't bear it, he had been in the palace for decades, and he didn't know how many young ladies he had seen, and it was the first time he had met a girl he liked, but unfortunately, there was never a woman left by the prince's side.
He said troublesome.
Chu Jinye grew up watching him since he was a child, and the only thing he couldn't worry about was that he got married, but his own father just didn't have this plan, and now he is more than thirty years old, and other princes of the Wang family have already had a group of wives and concubines, and their children are in pairs, but he... Alas...... Hurry to death!
But he didn't want to, who dared to stuff people indiscriminately, even this girl was ordered by His Majesty three times and twice, and now, he was planning to do something perfunctory and drive people away.
His old man's heart hurts~
When Tang Xinyu heard this, he lowered his eyes, "... Since it is the meaning of the Chitose Lord, Xin Yu naturally does not dare to disobey, but before leaving, can you let me see the Chitose Lord and personally thank him for taking care of him these days. ”
Zhao Yan was a little embarrassed, "Chitose Lord doesn't like others to disturb for no reason, what do you mean The old slave will convey it for you, you still clean up, if there is something you like in the room, Chitose Lord commands, you can bring it, and I will send someone to send you back in a while." ”
"Are you leaving tonight?"
In such a hurry?
Could it be that something is going to happen in the palace?
Zhao Yan replied, "What does Master Chitose mean, don't blame Miss Tang." ”
After saying that, he left.
Leaving Tang Xinyu standing alone under the jujube tree for an unknown amount of time, the falling flowers were blinded.
The good days are over.
………
In the middle of the night, the streets were silent, the lights were scarce, and the whole city was quiet, only one place, the voices of people were boiling, and the sound of neat and orderly iron boots sounded in an orderly manner in the palace.
The originally dim courtyard was immediately lit up like daylight.
Tang Xinyu only felt that the blood on her face was hot, and her heart was beating involuntarily in her chest, almost jumping out of her chest.
The person in front of him was pierced through the heart by an arrow, and the long knife he swung was only an inch away from his neck, and the cold light of the knife pierced her skin and her hairs exploded.
Then it fell to the ground with a thud...
"Miss Tang, you, you, why did you come to the front yard at night!" Steward Zhao came out of nowhere and walked to her side.
Then a pleasant voice rang out from the crowd, "You're very bold." ”
Then Chu Jinye, who was dressed in black, walked out of the retreat of the crowd, and someone brought him the Taishi chair, put on a white cloak with fur, took the curved bow in his hand, and brought him hot tea.
"Chitose Master, this kid..."Steward Zhao hurriedly walked to Chu Jinye's side to explain, he raised his hand, and Steward Zhao stopped squeaking.
But Tang Xinyu was shocked, this is the Nine Princes, which is completely different from the rumors.
Dressed in white and with black hair, the clothes and hair are flowing and elegant, untied, and the eyes as bright and dazzling as obsidian shine with an awe-inspiring heroic aura, and there are sharp eyes hidden under the seemingly calm eye waves, with a handsome face that is upright and strong, as if it is carved and has a deep contour, the momentum is compelling, reminiscent of a cheetah pounced on its prey in the savannah, dangerous and unapproachable.
The rumored Nine Princes, whose appearance was ruined and ugly, who would have thought that he had a shocking heroic appearance, and a closer look made Tang Xinyu feel familiar, thinking about it carefully, his eyebrows are somewhat similar to His Majesty today, no wonder, after all, he is an uncle and nephew.
But now is not the time to marvel at that.
Tang Xinyu looked at the corpse that fell to the ground, raised his feet and straddled over, tidied up the dress that had been dyed with blood, and saluted generously.
"The concubine has seen the prince."
"Tang Xinyu?" Chu Jinye looked at her and said.
Looking up and down with interesting eyes, he remembered that he had said in the day that the one who sent this girl back to the door was not only standing here, but also almost killed.
"It's a concubine, the concubine knows that the prince has a lot of questions, and she is here, because the concubine only wants to see the prince, and she is willing to return ten thousand gold, but she asks for one thing."
Yu Fan, the personal guard standing behind Chu Jinye, was displeased: "Presumptuous! Is the place in front of Chitose Lord where you made the second! I think you're an earthly thief, you're in a gang! ”
He felt that the women in front of him were no different from those who rushed to Chitose Ye when they saw Chitose Ye's appearance.
even felt that he was in a group with the people who were lying on the ground and gradually getting cold, otherwise which daughter lady was strolling outside in the middle of the night, not to mention the strict layout of the palace, how could she run over in the eyes of everyone alone, someone must have answered, so as to ruin their layout, and fall short.
Tang Xinyu raised his eyes slightly, did not show panic, but lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground unhurriedly.
"The concubine can stand up to verification, she just wants to ask for a favor tonight, and she doesn't want to send it back to her home tomorrow, please let me stay in the palace, even if I am a fire girl, as long as I stay."
Only by staying can you make a difference, and when you go back, you will have to be oppressed for a lifetime, and you will be married at will, maybe an old man, or a rich merchant's concubine...
The essence of Chu Jinye's pupils flashed, and he beckoned.
"Come here."
Tang Xinyu raised his head slightly, only feeling that there was an illusion of seeking skin with the tiger.
Yu Fan gritted his teeth on the side, and wanted to say something more, but Steward Zhao shook his head on the side and motioned for him not to speak again,
Chitose Ye's temper is not good, sometimes good and sometimes bad, no one knows what he will do in the next moment, and at the same time, he doesn't like people to always touch his scales.
Just like at this moment, under the disbelieving gaze of everyone, he pulled Tang Xinyu into his arms and let her sit on his lap.
People who have always disliked women touching, but whenever a woman touches his clothes, he will be thrown out, and now, with a woman in his arms...
