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

Jiang Ruoli was a little impatient.

According to the plot in the original book, after the queen got into trouble, Xiao Yuheng was furious and chopped off Lu Jinzhou's head on the spot to vent his anger.

Xiao Yujing was stunned when he heard this, and felt that Jiang Ruoli was right.

Lu Jinzhou is the leader of the Imperial Guards. If something happens to the Queen in the palace, he will be the first person to be held accountable.

"Chief Lu, I also have something to ask you."

Xiao Yujing spoke coldly.

"I heard that a female corpse was found in the lake in the Imperial Garden just now. The Imperial Guards patrolling near Kunhe Palace all went to the Imperial Garden. Why is Chief Lu here?"

"My subordinate..." Lu Jinzhou didn't know how to explain.

"Chief Lu, do you know that there is no female corpse in the lake? Instead, it is a scarecrow dressed in the clothes of a palace maid and sunk into the lake."

"what?!"

Lu Jinzhou was shocked, and then he understood.

Someone deliberately led him away from Kunhe Palace!

Lu Jinzhou frowned fiercely.

"Although I don't know why you didn't go to the Imperial Garden, you should be thankful. If the county lady hadn't come tonight and something really happened in Kunhe Palace, I'm afraid your life would be over!"

Xiao Yujing said expressionlessly.

Lu Jinzhou trembled, and a chill rose in his heart.

If Duke Jiang had not entrusted him to take care of Jiang Ruoli yesterday, he would have taken the Imperial Guards to the Imperial Garden tonight.

There is no one guarding outside Kunhe Palace. If the oil in the palace really catches fire, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Duke Jiang must have known something, but due to the special circumstances of the harem he could not arrest anyone directly, so he let his daughter take the risk to enter the palace.

As for why Duke Jiang did not make the matter public directly, he guessed that it was because Duke Jiang did not have enough evidence and was afraid of alerting the enemy.

Lu Jinzhou looked at Jiang Ruoli.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, it’s all thanks to the County Princess tonight.

He really admired the fact that such a weak woman had the courage to go into danger alone.

"Your Highness is right. I know I was wrong. I thank you for saving my life." Lu Jinzhou knelt down and saluted.

The sudden change in attitude surprised Jiang Ruoli.

She looked at Xiao Yujing, and Xiao Yujing nodded to her.

"Well, I didn't save you..."

"Okay, Chief Lu, you must investigate this matter thoroughly. I want a satisfactory answer." Xiao Yujing ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Lu Jinzhou finished speaking, he dragged the eunuch who had already fainted on the ground away.

Xiao Yujing looked down at the little person in his arms.

Seeing that her face was still a little pale, I knew that she must have been very frightened tonight, and I really wanted to spend some time with her.

But he still had to go and keep an eye on his mother.

"Let Kosaku take you back. Don't think about anything else. Just get a good night's sleep tonight, okay?"

Xiao Yujing gently stroked Jiang Ruoli's back and spoke in a gentle voice.

Xiao Yujing's gentleness made Jiang Ruoli feel warm in her heart, and she nodded gently.

Xiao Yujing escorted the person to the door.

"Jia Zuo, escort the county lady to Minghua Palace safely."

"Yes, I obey."

Xiao Yujing raised his hand and touched Jiang Ruoli's head, then watched the two of them leave.

After the two men walked away, Xiao Yujing turned around and returned to the hall.

Jia Zuo followed Jiang Ruoli and escorted her to Minghua Palace.

"County Princess, His Highness is very worried about you." Jia Zuo said suddenly.

Jiang Ruoli was stunned and said in a muffled voice: "I know."

Because she knew that, she didn't know how to respond.

Jiazu hesitated for a while, "Actually, if you have anything to say, you can tell His Highness."

Just like what happened in Kunhe Palace tonight, he didn't know how Jiang Ruoli knew about it, but she could have told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instead of choosing to take the risk alone.

"Tell...your highness?"

Jiang Ruoli murmured, then shook her head.

It’s not that I can’t tell Xiao Yujing, but that I can’t tell her at all.

Should I tell him that the entire Dacheng Dynasty is actually a world in a book? Should I tell him that everyone is a paper man? Or should I tell him the tragic ending of the book?

No, that's too cruel.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli shaking her head, Jia Zuo thought that she did not trust the Crown Prince.

"County Princess, His Highness... is a very dedicated person." Jia Zuo said.

Although Xiao Yujing appears cold-hearted and seems to not care about anything on a daily basis, he will treat people and things he cares about with all his heart.

Jia Zuo knew that women all hoped to be together with their husbands for the rest of their lives. Although His Highness had a special status and even if he had three palaces and six courtyards, people would not say anything.

But he knew His Highness. He was not the kind of person who was promiscuous. If he set his eyes on someone, he would definitely treat her wholeheartedly.

He could see that His Highness treated the County Lady very differently, and that oftentimes His Highness's mood would be directly affected by the County Lady.

"County Lady, His Highness is not the kind of philandering person. Once he sets his heart on a person, he will only treat her well."

Jiang Ruoli was obviously stunned, she knew that Jia Zuo had misunderstood.

But she didn't explain. She was already very grateful that Jia Zuo could tell her so much.

"Jia Zuo, thank you for telling me this." Jiang Ruoli said with a smile.

Jiazuo nodded, not knowing whether the county lady understood what he meant.

He sighed silently in his heart.

Your Highness, this is all I can do to help you.

Jiang Ruoli turned around and walked forward silently.

She knew that Jia Zuo was persuading her to accept Xiao Yujing.

How could she not feel how good Xiao Yujing was to her?

No matter how much she deceived herself, she knew that her heart had completely fallen.

When Xiao Yujing showed up tonight, her inner relief, excitement, joy, and complete trust in him could not be faked.

It's really hard.

It's really hard to guard your own heart.

Jiang Ruoli silently covered her heart.

If she really leaves one day in the future, what will the two of them do...

The two walked in silence all the way to Minghua Palace.

Jiang Ruoli walked to the door and stopped.

"Kazuo, thank you for sending me back."

"You are too polite, my lady. This is what I should do." Jiazuo bowed.

"Then I'll go in first."

As she spoke, Jiang Ruoli pushed open the palace door.

But he froze in place for a moment.

Kosaku noticed something was wrong with her.

"County Master, what's wrong?"

As he spoke he walked to the door.

Looking up, I saw the palace guards on duty lying on the ground.

Jia Zuo frowned tightly, protected Jiang Ruoli behind him, and looked into the hall.

The entire Minghua Hall was silent.

Jia Zuo walked up to a palace servant near the door and put his hand around his neck.

He still has a pulse and is fine.

Jia observed the palace maid's face and thought she had been unconscious for not long.

"County Princess, go find His Highness quickly!" Jia Zuo said in a deep voice.

He estimated that the assassins in Minghua Hall had not left yet. He could not take Jiang Ruoli in rashly, so he could only ask her to find help.

The person behind him didn't say anything.

Jia Zuo turned around and saw Jiang Ruoli's face was pale and her eyes were dull, as if she was lost in some bad memories.

"County Princess! County Princess!" Jiazuo shook her shoulders hard.

Jiang Ruoli suddenly came to her senses, looked at Jia Zuo, and spoke with a trembling voice:

"Quick, go find Princess Yuyao!"

"Go find Princess Yuyao!"
