The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

The young eunuch Zheng Kaicheng knew him as Song Xiang, who served the Sixth Prince Zhao Kuo.

Every time he came to Wenyuan Pavilion to give lectures, he was the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Song Xiang appeared after the princes had left, obviously waiting for him here.

"If the Sixth Prince is injured, he should rest assured and take care of himself. When he returns to school, if there is anything he doesn't understand or wants to know, I will tell him everything I know."

Song Xiang ran over from behind Zheng Kaicheng, stood in front of him, and said in an almost pleading voice:

"Sir Zheng, to be honest with you, my master is injured... He wrote an eight-part essay and hopes you can give him some advice. That is what he wants to present to His Majesty in winter."

It is only a few days away from the winter moon. The Sixth Prince is not the most talented among all the princes, but he is the most hardworking one.

Zheng Kaicheng was not moved by the young eunuch's words.

It was because he remembered the bruises he saw under the Sixth Prince's sleeves during the last lecture that he began to believe the eunuch's words about the injury.

He put away the textbook in his hand and said, "Then please lead the way."

When Song Xiang heard that he agreed, he almost knelt on the ground to thank him profusely. Along the way, he recounted the Sixth Prince's daily hard work and his admiration for Lord Zheng.

Zheng Kaicheng, who has traveled to many places, has a light honey-colored skin and straight shoulders. He is a gentle and handsome young man.

He noticed the young eunuch's nervous expression, but did not show it, and followed him calmly.

There are not many people who can do tricks under the emperor's nose. If they fail this time, there will be a next time.

Several princes in the palace did not have their own residences, and lived in the "Qiandong Wusuo" and "Qianxi Wusuo" behind the Qianqing Palace.

Although Zheng Kaicheng had never been here, he was still somewhat surprised by the Sixth Prince's living environment.

If the guards had not come to check on him when he entered Qianxi Wusuo, he would have almost thought that Song Xiang had tricked him into the cold palace.

The door looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time, making the Sixth Prince's residence look a bit shabby.

Not to mention that once you opened the door and walked in, you could smell a strange smell coming from inside.

wrong!

A fierce look flashed in Zheng Kaicheng's eyes, but it was too late to get out.

The door behind him closed quickly in front of his eyes, as if isolating the whole world from him. The sunlight that had just poured in suddenly stopped, and the room instantly became dark and damp.

Zheng Kaicheng stood there, looking around.

Through the gaps in the window, you can see dust in the air, and the tiny particles make people feel dizzy.

He walked a few steps to the door, reached out and pushed it, but the door didn't move.

The thin man who was dressed in eunuch's clothes just now has disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.

A faint groan came from the inner room, interrupting Zheng Kaicheng's thoughts.

Since someone had designed to lure him here, then this person inside might be the key. Thinking of this, Zheng Kaicheng lifted the hem of his straight-strap skirt and tucked it into his waist, then strode towards the location where the sound came from.

After entering the inner room, the strange smell became stronger. Zheng Kaicheng frowned, but continued to move forward, suppressing his discomfort.

When he finally saw the person lying on the bed, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

"Princess!"

Zheng Kaicheng bit the tip of his tongue and his vision instantly became clear.

"Um...uh..."

Princess Zhao Xuan showed a fragile surprise on her face, her sweaty and messy hair sticking to her cheeks.

When Zheng Kaicheng untied the ropes that bound her, she couldn't help but reach out to him.

I don’t know what I want to do or what I want.

With her cheek pressed against his exposed skin, she murmured and hummed, "Quickly...quickly leave here..."

It was clearly a commanding tone, and the voice was so delicate and charming that the princess could hardly believe it came from her.

"Princess, please let go!"

Zheng Kaicheng's mouth was filled with blood again, and he used all his strength to pull the princess off his body.

The situation before him told him that the princess had been plotted against, and the smell had also made him fall into a trap.

"Ok?"

Zhao Xuan opened her misty almond-shaped eyes and looked up at him.

Zheng Kaicheng's face became more and more blurred in front of her eyes.

Sometimes he is shown as he is paraded through the streets after winning the first place in the imperial examination, looking high-spirited, and sometimes he is shown in his official uniform, looking serious and stern.

Her breath was hot and she raised her hand to put it on his shoulder again.

The two people seemed to be pushing and shoving each other, but in fact one was trying to avoid her limbs that were constantly wrapping around him, and the other was trying to find a support point for his body.

Finally, she rested her chin on his shoulder and said incoherently, "Looking for uncle...uncle...Sir Zheng..." After that, she muttered, "How...why did you bring weapons into the palace? You are so...so brave!"

Zheng Kaicheng held her face and said with some difficulty: "Princess, please control yourself. Do you believe me?"

Zhao Xuan could hear what he was saying, but couldn't respond.

She could only see his lips opening and closing in front of her eyes. She was so thirsty that she pressed her hand on his neck and tilted her head upwards.

Almost at the same time, the hairpin on her head was taken off, and her black hair fell on her shoulders. The tears in her eyes also fell down and were instantly hidden in her clothes.

"Princess, I'm sorry." The man's voice was hoarse, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions. Then Zhao Xuan heard a muffled groan, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.

The huge pain made Zheng Kaicheng regain his sanity and he straightened the princess's messy dress.

He picked up the rope that had just been thrown on the bed and quickly tied the eldest princess to him.

Zhao Xuan realized what he was doing, raised her hand, pulled out the last hairpin on her head, and stabbed her thigh without hesitation.

She was shaking with pain, but luckily she was not as out of control as before. "Hurry up! Someone will be here soon."

Zheng Kaicheng didn't have time to think about it. He put the two blood-stained hairpins into his sleeves and glanced around the room to see if there was anything that could reveal the identities of the two people.

He found the clean room in the house, kicked off the small window on one side, and then jumped out holding the eldest princess in his arms.

Zhao Xuan regained some clarity of mind, looked at the palace getting farther and farther away, and asked in surprise: "Master Zheng, do you know martial arts?"

It was so good that even the guards in the inner court of the palace and the Jinyiwei did not notice them.

At this time, Zheng Kaicheng's face was pale and blood was flowing from the wounds on his arms and thighs.

He found the servant waiting for him outside the palace gate. Xiang Fei saw that something was wrong with his master, so he ran over like a rocket and asked in a panic, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zheng Kaicheng didn't have time to explain the details, and simply told him: "Go find Lord Qin Lang, and ask him to find the maidservant beside the princess, the Sixth Prince, and a young eunuch named Song Xiang!"

He untied the horse from the carriage, put his arm around the eldest princess who was covered by a cloak in front of him, and jumped on the horse.

The horse's hooves brought up a cloud of dust and galloped away.

Chu Jie'er is coming back home today, so Lord Jiang and the others must be at my aunt's house at this time, and Mr. Wu should be there too.

The princess pressed her hand tightly on the wound to keep herself clear-headed and whispered, "Hold on a little longer, it will be over soon..."

A carriage with green curtains and a Danglu hat stopped in front of a mansion. Gu Jinchu lifted the curtain and looked up to see the three words "Peony Garden".

The journey took more than two hours, but it seemed like it took her a long time.
