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

East Palace?

she?

Not appropriate...

Jiang Ruoli forced a smile.

"I'll still live in Minghua Palace..."

"Something happened in Minghua Palace tonight, and we must clean it up properly. You won't be able to sleep well here." Xiao Yujing said.

I can't sleep at your place...

"Li'er, just go to your royal brother's place. It will be safer there." Xiao Yuyao advised.

Jiang Ruoli looked at her in surprise.

No, Princess Yuyao, are you serious?

Xiao Yuyao blinked, what happened?

Jiang Ruoli sighed.

Just go.

Such a big thing happened to Xiao Yuyao tonight, and it is estimated that no one will take care of her. She should just go to the East Palace obediently. After all, it is not the first or second time that this has happened.

In this way, Jia Zuo sent Xiao Yuyao to Concubine Rou, and Jiang Ruoli followed Xiao Yujing to the Eastern Palace.

As soon as I entered the East Palace, I saw Burch kneeling outside the palace gate.

Jiang Ruoli asked in confusion, "What happened to Burch?"

Xiao Yujing walked past him without even looking at him and spoke coldly.

"Don't worry about him."

Burch lowered his head and couldn't help but shudder when he heard it.

After entering the front hall, Xiao Yujing called Eunuch Wu.

"Clean up the side hall."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will do it right away."

Eunuch Wu glanced at Jiang Ruoli and quietly retreated.

Jiang Ruoli remembered the medicine that Jia Zuo fed to Argus.

"Your Highness, what medicine did you give Agus just now?"

Xiao Yujing curled his lips and smiled, "Of course it's medicine that makes him happy."

hapiness?

Um, it can’t be...that kind of medicine, right?

Jiang Ruoli's face suddenly looked a little strange.

"After taking a pill of this medicine, the symptoms will occur every half an hour. Each attack will last for two hours and can only be relieved by sexual intercourse." Xiao Yujing explained.

One pill has such a strong medicinal effect. Agus took five pills and was thrown into the pigpen. Wouldn't that mean he would die with the pigs?

Jiang Ruoli was shocked.

Xiao Yujing didn't want her to know these dirty things, so he waved his hand, and a palace maid came in with a bowl of soothing soup.

"Drink the soup and have a good sleep." Xiao Yujing said in a gentle voice.

Jiang Ruoli took the soup and drank it in small sips.

Seeing that she was sitting beside him peacefully, Xiao Yujing finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in the air all night and stared at her straightly.

Jiang Ruoli endured his scorching gaze, drank the soup with gritted teeth, and put the bowl down.

Xiao Yujing dismissed the palace maids in the palace.

He reached out and gently held Jiang Ruoli's hand.

"Li'er, you can tell me anything you have in the future." Xiao Yujing looked at her seriously.

He didn't want to go through what happened to Kun and Gong tonight again.

God knows how panicked and frightened he was when Birch said she was alone in Kunhe Palace.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing.

Kosaku said the same thing to her tonight.

Can she really say anything?

"I'm afraid that if I tell you, Your Highness will find it strange and won't believe it..."

"I believe."

Xiao Yujing spoke with a solemn vow.

"As long as Li'er says it, I believe it."

Jiang Ruoli's heart trembled.

The sincerity and enthusiasm in his eyes made her unable to bear to look at him.

"Li'er, I hope you can trust me completely, and I will trust you completely too."

"I......"

Jiang Ruoli met Xiao Yujing's gaze and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times. In the end, she was unable to tell him what she knew.

When Xiao Yujing saw her lower her head and stop talking, a trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes.

Did she still not trust him?

But it doesn’t matter, they still have a long way to go.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yujing touched Jiang Ruoli's head lovingly.

"Okay, it's getting late, go get some rest."

Jiang Ruoli bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.

After sending Jiang Ruoli to the side hall, Xiao Yujing did not leave.

"Your Highness, what happened in Minghua Palace tonight won't be leaked out, right?" Jiang Ruoli's face was full of worry.

She didn't want Princess Yuyao's reputation to be damaged in any way.

"Don't worry, everyone present tonight is my personal guard and they won't tell anyone." Xiao Yujing comforted.

That's good......

Jiang Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ruoli went to the inner room to change into pajamas, and when she came out she found Xiao Yujing still standing there.

Her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

He looked down at the pajamas he was wearing.

Fortunately, it’s very conservative.

"Your Highness, you should go and have some rest too." Jiang Ruoli said.

Xiao Yujing smiled dotingly.

"It's okay. I'll watch you sleep."

Seeing that he was determined not to leave, Jiang Ruoli walked to the bed reluctantly, lifted the quilt and crawled in.

Xiao Yujing came to the bed and sat down.

Jiang Ruoli's whole body stiffened.

What are you doing so close...

But Xiao Yujing just sat quietly beside the bed, looking at her, and reached out to gently pat the quilt covering her body.

Jiang Ruoli understood that he was worried that she couldn't sleep because of fear, so he stayed with her.

A sweet feeling surged in her heart and Jiang Ruoli slowly closed her eyes.

After a while, under the effect of the tranquilizing soup, Jiang Ruoli's breathing gradually stabilized.

Xiao Yujing held her hand and sat aside, looking at her quietly for a long time.

He was very scared about what happened tonight.

If Li'er hadn't gone to Kunhe Palace tonight, something might have happened to her mother by now.

But tonight Li'er went to Kunhe Palace and put herself in danger.

Neither of these two things was what he wanted to see.

He knew that Li'er was different from ordinary people in some ways and knew many things that they didn't know.

He also understood that she did all this to save them.

But he really didn't want her to take the risk alone.

It's all his fault. Blame him for not being resolute enough and for not being able to protect her.

Xiao Yujing's eyes gradually became firm, as if he had made some kind of decision.

He leaned over and gently kissed the back of her hand.

He placed her hands on the couch and tucked in the quilt for her.

Xiao Yujing stood up quietly and left silently.

There are still two hours until dawn.

Tonight, he has something to do...

Jiazuo hurried to the East Palace.

"Your Highness, the maid has confessed."

Xiao Yujing seemed not to hear.

"That maid was originally from Concubine Jia's palace. After Concubine Jia was imprisoned in the palace, all the people in the palace were also punished and sent to the Xinzheku."

"A few days ago, Mr. He approached her and asked her to find an opportunity to monitor Kunhe Palace's every move. Tonight, she saw the prince coming to Minghua Palace, and she knew that something had happened in Minghua Palace, so she followed him."

"But she didn't know what happened in Minghua Palace tonight, and she didn't have time to deliver any news to the He family."

"Agus met the princess and the county lady in the imperial garden today. I guess that's when he started to have evil intentions."

Fortunately, nothing happened to Princess Yuyao tonight, and the county lady was not in Minghua Palace, otherwise what happened tonight would have ended badly.

"Yeah." Xiao Yujing responded softly.

Seeing that he didn't seem to care much, Jia Zuo knew that His Highness was in a bad mood at the moment, so he stepped aside and waited quietly.

Looking out the window, he saw Birch still kneeling outside the door, and Jiazu sighed silently.

Not long after, Lu Jinzhou entered the hall.

"Your Highness, the eunuchs Kun and Gong have confessed."

Only then did Xiao Yujing raise his eyelids.

"The eunuch said that everything he did tonight was instructed by the Southern Dynasty!"
