Drunk Bamboo

Chapter 3: The Villa Encounters a Thief

"You broke into the imperial palace in broad daylight and beat up a palace maid. Aren't you afraid of being sent to jail?"

Xie Yuzhu stared into his dark and bright eyes and questioned.

Black eyes glared.

There was no trace of fear in Xie Yuzhu's calm eyes.

His black eyes narrowed slightly, he was not afraid?

The masked man was more interested and looked at the little man in front of him carefully. His skin was as white as snow, and he was thin and weak, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, but there was no fear in his eyes, and he was neither humble nor arrogant.

Standing upright in front of Xie Yuzhu, he was like a giant, and there was a clear contrast in the heights of the two people.

The masked man threatened: "You are quite courageous little girl, aren't you afraid that I will beat you too?"

Xie Yuzhu smiled innocently: "Don't be afraid, you are not here to beat me."

Sure enough, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

The masked man lowered his guard and smiled smugly, "This old woman slandered Prince Feng and the princess. She is vicious. I am acting on behalf of heaven. Even if I beat her, she wouldn't dare to spread the news."

Xie Yuzhu: The big black bear is as brave as his body, but his brain is not very smart. Wouldn't it be easier to be spotted if he was wearing black clothes in broad daylight? Also, his body shape and skills show that he is not an ordinary person, but a soldier.

Not only that, he also revealed his intention in front of Madam Kong, and foolishly stated his purpose: to vent the anger of Prince Feng and the Princess!

Anyone with a little common sense could have guessed that he must be Wind King's man, and that he was here to speak up for Wind King.

Given Madam Kong's unforgiving temper, she will definitely make a big fuss when she wakes up.

Prince Feng is not favored by the Emperor. Once this matter gets out, she will be in trouble no matter what. She doesn't want to get into trouble as soon as she marries into the palace.

There was a gleam of cleverness in his eyes: "Who said you only beat people?"

The masked man looked puzzled.

She raised the corners of her mouth, looking harmless, and kindly explained: "You are still a thief."

"Little girl, you clearly have a pair of phoenix eyes, but you can't see? I didn't steal anything, so how can I be a thief?"

Xie Yuzhu then leaned over, pulled out the thickest gold hairpin on Madam Kong's head, and threw it into the pool beside her.

"Then you're a thief."

The next second, he shouted with all his might, "Catch the thief! There's a thief in the garden, come and catch him!"

The masked man was confused by her series of actions.

"Why don't you hurry up?" Xie Yuzhu reminded.

After he recovered, he realized her intention and glared at her: "Okay, you actually framed me!"

He jumped onto the high wall, and before turning away, he shouted angrily: "I'll deal with you later!"

Xie Yuzhu was not afraid. He was King Feng's subordinate and she was King Feng's princess. In the future, she would be the master and it was not known who would deal with whom.

She calmly took out a small white bottle from her sleeve and placed it under Madam Kong's nose for a few seconds.

The small white bottle contains her uniquely developed ointment: smelling it can cause temporary amnesia.

He put away the small white bottle, glanced at the person on the ground, and before the guards arrived, he quickly took off the two silver hairpins on her head, the gold earrings on her ears, and the jade bracelet on her hand, and threw them all into the pool.

Only then did he wave his hands contentedly.

Xie Yuzhu: It feels good to speak for a moment, but you will regret it for a lifetime.

The guards came over after hearing the noise. Xie Yuzhu stroked her chest and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry. The thief has escaped. Check if there are any valuables missing from the villa. Madam Kong fainted from fright. Let's get someone to check on her. She's old and I'm afraid she can't stand the shock."

The guards followed orders.

Yun Ling ran over immediately after hearing the commotion. The unconscious Nanny Kong was carried away. She worriedly checked whether the princess was injured, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.

"I'm glad the princess is okay. I heard that the princess encountered thieves and I was scared to death."

Xie Yuzhu patted her hands: "Accompany me to try on the wedding dress."

Soon, the grief-stricken cries of Madam Kong were heard from the villa.

"My gold hairpin and jade bracelet! My silver hairpin and gold pendant! It would be better to take my life..."

The pretty palace maid combing Xie Yuzhu's hair was actually the one standing in the long corridor. She felt relieved when she heard the miserable voice of Madam Kong.

"I heard from the guards that Madam Kong didn't remember encountering the thief when she woke up. I'm afraid she was really frightened. No valuables in the villa were lost, so how could Madam Kong's gold and silver jewelry be stolen?"

Xie Yuzhu looked at the person in the red dress and phoenix crown in the mirror and smiled, "Mrs. Kong's teaching is that trouble comes from the mouth, and you should not bully others by taking advantage of your power, otherwise God will punish you."

The maid suddenly felt a chill on her back, and she remembered what she had just said to Madam Kong. She was frightened and almost couldn't hold the comb in her hand. She hurriedly replied, "I will remember this."

Yun Ling was surprised and suspicious, and felt that the princess was not as weak as she looked.

In Zhongdu City, Anhe Restaurant.

Chaoyang walked into the private room on the second floor with a gloomy face, only to see the person who he had been unable to find just now eating big chunks of meat, drinking big bowls of wine, and looking very contented.

"Your Majesty, I went downstairs to buy some pastries and you disappeared! Where did you go?"

Hua Qinfeng tore off the chicken leg with his bare hands, his mouth full of greasy food, and said casually: "Just walk around the building."

"I have searched the entire Anhe Restaurant, but there is no trace of you. Where did you go just now..." Chaoyang has been practicing martial arts with Hua Qinfeng since he was a child. He is both a tutor and a bodyguard. He is steady and has excellent eyesight. He glimpsed a trace of black cloth under the blue brocade robe and frowned. "What on earth did you go to do?"

He raised the jug and drank it all in one gulp. The wine that leaked out from the jug and the corners of his mouth flowed over his beard and soaked his front lapel.

Hua Qinfeng no longer concealed it and said directly: "Xingyun Villa."

"Xingyun Villa? You're going to see the princess! According to Rao's customs, the bride and groom cannot see each other three days before the wedding. If people find out and spread it to the ears of the emperor and those ministers, you, Your Majesty, will be branded as an unlucky person who will bring disaster to the country and the people, and even the princess will suffer!"

"I wore a mask and just went for a walk. No one knew who I was."

Chaoyang tightly grasped the bag of biscuits. Although he was young, he already had a few strands of white hair on his temples. He suppressed his resentment, grabbed Hua Qinfeng's arm and pulled it up with force.

Hua Qinfeng shouted, "I haven't finished eating yet, why are you pulling me?"

Gnashing his teeth, he lowered his voice and said, "Prince, are you still thinking about eating? We are getting married tomorrow and I haven't tried on my wedding dress yet. It's time to go back home." He muttered, "It's not easy for the prince to get married, and there must not be any more accidents."

Hearing that he was going back to his mansion, Hua Qinfeng's face darkened, and he waved his arms, easily getting rid of the restraining palm. He slightly spread his long legs, stood firmly on the ground with his feet, and folded his hands across his chest, like a stone statue of the King of Hell who was defending and motionless.

"There are so many people in the mansion. It gives me a headache."

"Your Highness, you remain calm in the face of an army of thousands. There are only a few maids and guards from the palace in your mansion..."

Before he could finish his words, Chaoyang had already stood in front of the window to prevent Hua Qinfeng from escaping.

"If the prince dares to escape, I will go to Nanny Bai to complain when I get back home, and tell her everything about how you got into danger and got injured in the West Frontier because of your recklessness. Also, if you hadn't used the excuse of buying biscuits for Nanny, how could Bai Guo let you out? If Bai Guo knew that the prince went to Xingyun Villa, would she still let you out in the future?"

Hua Qinfeng frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, then put down his arms and compromised, "Go back home."

Chaoyang shouted, "Boss, pack up the rest!"
