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

When they returned to the tent, Feng Yijun and two maids were also awakened.

"Sister, what happened?"

Jiang Ruoli felt a little embarrassed when she thought of the roar she had made.

He briefly told Feng Yijun about the assassin that night, but concealed the fact that he had knocked the assassin unconscious, and only said that he encountered him when he went to the toilet.

Feng Yijun's face turned pale after hearing this.

"There is an assassin. Is Princess Yuyao okay?"

"It's okay. The guards heard the noise and quickly caught the assassin."

"That's good." Feng Yijun breathed a sigh of relief.

After they finished talking, they turned off the lights and lay down.

Jiang Ruoli, however, did not feel sleepy at all.

As things have developed to this point, the Third Prince did not get injured as described in the original book, so naturally he could not receive the grace of His Majesty and enter the court.

Does that mean that the Jiang family's current safety can be maintained for a while, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a threat for the time being?

When I thought of Xiao Yujing, the scene of his arm wrapped in thick bandages emerged in my mind.

Do you want to go see him?

Although he inexplicably gave me a bunch of poetry and books that made me sleepy, he also arranged for someone to teach me how to ride a horse, sent me some delicious roasted rabbit, and even asked the emperor for a reward of 100 taels of silver for me...

If I don't go to comfort her, won't she seem like an ungrateful person?

Jiang Ruoli tossed and turned until dawn before she slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Jiang Ruoli was woken up by Fuguo.

The emperor has issued an edict that due to the assassination incident yesterday, the autumn hunt will be ended early and the team will return to the city today.

Jiang Ruoli sat aside in a daze, watching Fuguo pack his things.

An imperial decree instantly woke her up.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Jiang Ruoli, the daughter of Duke Zhenguo Jiang Lianyi, is intelligent and agile, and calm in times of crisis. She is the best among contemporary women, and is hereby granted the title of Princess of Leping County. This is my decree."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

Duke Jiang felt mixed emotions when he received the imperial edict from the eunuch.

He was happy that his daughter had been given the title of county lady, which was equivalent to having the protection of the royal family, and he no longer had to worry about anyone bullying her;

What worried him was that she had risked her life to get this honor. Even if he didn't want this reward, he didn't want to put his daughter in any danger again.

Duke Jiang sighed and hoped that his daughter would never do anything stupid and risk her life again.

Jiang Ruoli couldn't believe it.

That’s not right. She remembered that there was no such paragraph in the original book. Could it be that because she saved Princess Yuyao yesterday, the original plot changed?

But it’s better this way. Having the identity of a county lord is also a kind of protection for her.

After this, the Third Prince will have to think twice before he can take any action against the Jiang family.

Jiang Ci Yan and Jiang Ci Jin were confused.

How come I got promoted after just a nap?

Jiang Ci'an told the two brothers about the assassination last night.

After learning the ins and outs of the reward, Jiang Ci Yan felt the same as Duke Jiang, and couldn't help but criticize Jiang Ruoli.

"Little sister, do you know how dangerous this is? Why don't you call for help first?"

Seeing that her always gentle elder brother looked angry, Jiang Ruoli felt embarrassed.

"Yesterday was an emergency. What if that eunuch got desperate? Brother, I promise that this will never happen again."

Jiang Ruoli held up three fingers and swore.

Jiang Ciyan sighed helplessly, "That time with Princess Ningyang, you said the same thing."

Jiang Ruoli lowered her head guiltily.

Seeing this, Jiang Cijin put his arm around Jiang Ruoli's shoulders and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so brave! You really deserve to be a member of my Jiang family."

"In the future, our family will have a county lady. How glorious it will be."

"But you are actually higher in rank than me, ah~ I really can't accept it..."

Jiang Ruoli laughed and punched him.

After being interrupted by Jiang Ci Jin, the originally somewhat stiff atmosphere eased.

The Jiang family was very happy that Jiang Ruoli was conferred the title of County Princess.

Before leaving the hunting ground, Jiang Ruoli asked Jiang Ci'an to take her to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, the Princess of Leping County requests an audience." Eunuch Wu reported.

"Princess of Leping County?" Xiao Yujing didn't react for a moment.

"Your Highness, you are the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Oh, you little chatterbox.

"come in."

Jiang Ruoli entered the tent and bowed down.

"My lord, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."

This was Jiang Ruoli's first time getting along with the big boss in a formal sense, and she was still a little scared.

"Get up."

Jiang Ruoli stood up and looked at Xiao Yujing's left arm.

The area bandaged last night has been covered by clothes.

"Is your Highness's injury serious?"

Jiang Ruoli felt a little guilty.

She thought that if the third prince had not come, these assassins would not have appeared.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured for no reason.

Xiao Yujing saw Jiang Ruoli glance at his arm quickly and said, "It's okay, just a minor injury."

He dodged in time and only suffered minor skin injuries.

Fortunately, there was no poison on the knife.

Jiang Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you were very brave last night. Aren't you afraid that you might fail to knock out the eunuch and end up getting yourself killed?"

Xiao Yujing said this out of the blue.

When Jiang Ruoli heard this, she remembered that Xiao Yujing in the original book was a meticulous person. Could he have discovered anything?

"Your Highness...Your Highness was only concerned about Princess Yuyao's safety at the time and didn't think too much about it."

Xiao Yujing saw that she kept her head down, and suddenly he wanted to tease her.

"I am ugly?"

When Jiang Ruoli heard this, she almost knelt down.

"Your Highness is a man of heaven, talented and handsome, with extraordinary bearing. He is truly a rare talent. How can he be ugly?"

"Then why do you keep your head down? Is loneliness scary?"

Jiang Ruoli's head shook like a rattle.

"Your Highness is the Crown Prince, and I, as a subject, cannot look directly at your face."

"But you are the county lord now."

Jiang Ruoli paused.

[I am dying, I should have known not to come. 】

Hearing Jiang Ruoli's voice, Xiao Yujing laughed a little.

"Look up and talk to me."

Having said this, Jiang Ruoli gritted her teeth and raised her head abruptly as if to give up everything.

Xiao Yujing sat in the chair, his posture slightly more relaxed than usual, and his eyes, which were usually cold as ice, now contained a hint of smile.

It seems that he is really a gentle and humble person as rumored by the outside world.

Yes, Xiao Yujing became cruel and brutal because the queen was murdered in his later years, which made him murderous and cold-blooded.

Although he is cold and heartless now, he is not crazy yet.

and......

He is really handsome!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoli felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not so scary after all.

Not only did she dare to look directly at Xiao Yujing, she also smiled brightly at him.

Xiao Yujing originally wanted to tease Jiang Ruoli.

He was caught off guard by that silly smile, and his cold heart felt as if it was lightly brushed by a feather.

Xiao Yujing moved his fingers slightly.

Suddenly I wanted to pinch her face.

Xiao Yujing coughed lightly, somewhat unnaturally.

When Eunuch Wu saw that Xiao Yujing looked a little uncomfortable, an idea suddenly came to him.

Could it be...

Just as Xiao Yujing was about to speak, a young eunuch came in from outside to deliver a message.

"Your Highness, His Majesty said we can set off now."

Xiao Yujing nodded to show that he understood.

The young eunuch stepped aside and saw Eunuch Wu winking at him. He couldn't help scratching his head in confusion.

Why didn't you come in at the wrong time?

When she heard that they were about to set off, Jiang Ruoli bowed and took her leave.

"Your Highness, I am fine. I will withdraw now."

Xiao Yujing nodded and said, "Go back. If you have finished reading the book, I still have a lot of it here."

Jiang Ruoli's body swayed, and she quickly steadied herself.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the tent.

Forget about poetry and books.
