After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Emperor Chengren said so, but how could the imperial physician really come to save the princess of the enemy country?

The old empress dowager was not ill. She just received a message from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, asking her to find an excuse not to appear in the front hall.

Agus and Alia waited for a while, but still no one came.

Agus understood that this was a trap set up by the Dacheng royal family on purpose.

He snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Since Dacheng's imperial physician is not available, this prince doesn't care about it!"

"As the ruler of a country, he can't even use a royal doctor. How ridiculous!"

He looked at the envoy from Beixin Kingdom who was still sitting.

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"

After that, he supported Alia and left without looking back.

Emperor Chengren was not annoyed. He looked at the two angry figures and shouted loudly:

"Don't worry, Prince Agus. I will definitely send the best medicine to Princess Alia for treatment."

"By the way, don't forget to take the black mutton from Beixin Country!"

Upon hearing this, Agus staggered.

Then he left in a hurry.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall.

Jiang Ruoli watched the two men leave with amusement.

When she turned around, she found that the Holy Lady Lingjia was staring at her with a smile.

Ok?

what happened?

Jiang Ruoli tilted her head, looking puzzled.

But this action inexplicably pleased the Holy Lady Lingjia.

The smile on her lips widened and she raised her hand to tap the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Ruoli subconsciously reached out and touched the corner of her lips.

Sure enough, there was a cumin seed stuck there.

Jiang Ruoli wiped it clean with a handkerchief and smiled shyly at the Holy Lady Lingjia to express her gratitude.

Saint Lingjia nodded slightly and withdrew her gaze.

Xiao Yujing looked at the interaction between the two and his face darkened.

After the Beixin people left, the atmosphere in the entire hall became much more relaxed.

As the night deepened and the palace banquet drew to a close, envoys from various countries stood up and said goodbye.

After seeing off the envoys, the ministers also prepared to leave.

"Dad, Princess Yuyao wants to let me stay overnight tonight. I want to stay in the palace for two nights. Please tell mom about it." Jiang Ruoli said to Duke Jiang.

The Jiang family father and son looked at each other.

They knew that tomorrow night was the night when something bad would happen to the Queen, and Jiang Ruoli wanted to stay in the palace to prevent the tragedy from happening.

But how could a weak woman like her put out a fire?

Duke Jiang remained silent.

Jiang Ruoli was anxious.

[Daddy, please let me stay in the palace! I can't just watch the Queen get into trouble! ]

[The harem is not an ordinary place, how can my father and brothers enter? ]

[I am the only one who can stop this disaster! ]

Duke Jiang frowned.

He knew that the Queen must not be allowed to get into trouble, but he also didn't want his daughter to take risks alone.

"The harem is crowded with people, and daddy is worried that you are not safe here." Duke Jiang said.

"What Duke Jiang said is not right."

Xiao Yuyao walked over with her skirt lifted.

She knew that Li'er would not be able to convince Duke Jiang so easily.

"The harem is heavily guarded. How could Li'er be unsafe living in the palace? Lord Jiang, you are really overthinking it."

Jiang Ruoli also looked at Duke Jiang, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Duke Jiang sighed and reluctantly agreed to Jiang Ruoli's request.

"But Li'er, you have to protect yourself no matter what. Nothing can happen. Do you understand?" Duke Jiang instructed.

Jiang Ruoli nodded seriously, "Don't worry, father. I won't let anything happen to me."

Xiao Yuyao looked at the serious faces of the Jiang family and felt very puzzled.

No, she just wanted Li'er to stay for two nights. Why did she make it seem like Li'er was in a dangerous place?

"That's it. I'll take Li'er away first."

After Xiao Yuyao finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled Jiang Ruoli away.

Duke Jiang helplessly watched the two figures leave.

He frowned slightly, he couldn't let Li'er take risks like this.

"Dad, what are your plans next?" Jiang Ci'an asked.

Jiang Guogong straightened his expression and said, "Go find Chief Lu."

The Jiang family's father and son stood up and left.

When he arrived outside the palace, Duke Jiang saw Lu Jinzhou standing guard outside the palace, and he stepped forward to greet him.

"Chief Lu." Duke Jiang said politely.

"Duke Jiang." Lu Jinzhou hurriedly bowed.

Duke Jiang looked at the young man in front of him.

Lu Jinzhou is the son of the elder brother of the former Vice Minister of Justice, Lord Lu.

Mr. Lu's elder brother and his family lived in his hometown. He was old and had a son, so he valued this son very much. When Lu Jinzhou was five years old, Mr. Lu's elder brother and his family were accidentally killed by mountain bandits on the way to Beijing. Lu Jinzhou's mother tried her best to protect Lu Jinzhou. The little child came to Kyoto alone and found Mr. Lu's home.

When his brother's family met with misfortune, Lord Lu felt sorry for his nephew who was left alone, so he adopted him as his own.

Lord Lu was in poor health and never married or had children in his life. He devoted himself to raising his brother's orphans.

Unfortunately, Lord Lu died young. When Lu Jinzhou was just twelve years old, his old illness relapsed and he passed away suddenly.

Duke Jiang had a close relationship with Lord Lu. Before leaving, he entrusted Lu Jinzhou to Duke Jiang, hoping that he could help Lu Jinzhou find a good way out.

Duke Jiang agreed, and after the funeral of Lord Lu, he discussed the next steps with Lu Jinzhou.

Duke Jiang's suggestion at the time was that he hoped Lu Jinzhou could pass the imperial examinations and get a government job in the future, which would ensure a stable life.

Lu Jinzhou was a very talented young man who was both civil and military, but he chose to join the Imperial Guard, starting as a soldier at the bottom, and gradually worked his way up to the position of leader of the Imperial Guard in three years.

Now he has achieved success at a young age and has become a favorite of the emperor.

Seeing that Lord Jiang was staring at him blankly, Lu Jinzhou called out again, "Lord Jiang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Duke Jiang came back to his senses, smiled and said, "I need Chief Lu's help with something."

"Duke Jiang, please feel free to speak." Lu Jinzhou was very polite to Duke Jiang.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that my daughter is staying in the palace for the next two nights. As a father, I'm really worried, so I'd like to trouble Chief Lu to take good care of her." Duke Jiang said.

The Imperial Guards are responsible for the security of the entire palace. Lu Jinzhou is the leader of the Imperial Guards, so he will naturally not be lax about the security of the harem.

However, since Duke Jiang specifically mentioned it, he must be worried about more than just his daughter.

"Don't worry, Duke Jiang. I will definitely increase patrols throughout the palace in the next two days," said Lu Jinzhou.

Seeing that Lu Jinzhou understood everything immediately, Duke Jiang felt relieved.

"In that case, thank you very much, Chief Lu."

"You are too polite, Duke Jiang." Lu Jinzhou said respectfully.

Xiao Yujing returned to the East Palace, thinking about what Jiang Ruoli had just heard.

Queen Mother? Disaster?

What's going to happen to mother?

I felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in my heart.

"Birch."

"My subordinate is here."

"You have been following the county lady for the past two days. If you see anything unusual, come and tell me immediately."

"Also, strengthen the guard of Kunhe Palace." Xiao Yujing ordered.

Strengthen the guard of the Queen's palace?

Although Burch was puzzled, he still agreed.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Your Highness, this person has moved into the palace, why are you still being so reserved?"

He was also arranged to look after the county princess. If His Highness wants to see someone, can't he just go himself?

Birch was wondering when he suddenly felt a cold gaze falling on him.

not good!

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have presumed to guess your Highness's intentions. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, he quickly backed out.

Horrible, terrible!
