Princess Yu'an simply couldn't believe what Wen Jiu said. The hostility and malice in her beautiful eyes were gone, replaced by shock.

She didn't know how Wen Jiu could say such a thing. It completely overturned all her cognition.

"Fu Yue, the Queen Mother is looking for you." Suddenly, a pink figure walked into everyone's sight.

The person who came was Princess You'an. She came slowly and nodded slightly to Wen Jiu as a greeting.

"The Queen Mother asked me to find you."

Princess You'an stood in front of Yu'an. She was as quiet as cherry blossoms in spring, beautiful but not gaudy, but enough to attract everyone's attention. She was not as dazzling as peach blossoms, but had a lightness and beauty that made people unable to look away.

Qiao Shinian simply couldn't believe that such a little girl could have such a temperament. It was true that children in ancient times were all monsters.

She looked at Wen Jiu. She felt that Wen Jiu should be the protagonist. The protagonists in novels all had their immortal halo, and Wen Jiu was fine even though he provoked Princess Yu'an, the most favored princess in Zhou Kingdom.

She thought about it and was a little worried about herself. The protagonist would not die, but it was hard to say about the supporting characters and cannon fodder.

Princess Yu'an snorted coldly: "Cousin Siyao, did you do this on purpose? Can't you see that I'm teaching them a lesson?"

"Arguing with others is unbecoming of a princess of a great country. You should know that you are of noble status, and your every word and action represents the Zhou Kingdom." Princess You'an said calmly, then smiled slightly, "The Queen Mother hasn't returned to the capital for a long time, and she misses you very much, so she wants you to go and talk to her."

"Well, I won't bother with this unwanted stray dog." Princess Yu'an didn't care, and then looked at Wen Jiu expectantly: "Go back quickly, I have prepared a gift for you."

Watching Princess Yu'an get on the sedan chair and leave, Princess You'an nodded slightly to Wen Jiu, turned around and followed her.

Qiao Shinian took Wen Jiu's hand and patted him: "I'm fine, don't be nervous. Let's not threaten a girl with her chastity. This method is not clean and not gentlemanly at all."

Wen Jiu nodded, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go back quickly, I don't know what she did."

Qiao Shinian nodded.

Following Qiao Shinian and walking back quickly, Wen Jiu didn't care about Qiao Shinian's words. If he wanted to survive in this palace, he had to use any means necessary.

When he was injured, Qiao Shinian was clearly aware of his situation, so how come he went back to his original state?

We have to think of a solution.

Wen Jiu thought so and followed Qiao Shinian all the way back to his residence. Suddenly, he reflexively wanted to cover her eyes.

But the height of the two men made it impossible for him to do so.

Qiao Shinian took two steps back. If Chunxue hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.

Two eunuchs were hung there just outside the gate, and people were kneeling on the ground huddled together.

The two eunuchs' eyes bulged out, their faces turned purple from lack of oxygen, and they hung there with their eyes open, as if they had been hanged.

"Whoo~"

Call ~

Call ~

Qiao Shinian was breathing heavily, feeling weak all over. Just now, she told Wen Jiu not to treat a girl like this. But now, she had an urge to teach Princess Yu'an a lesson and let her know the preciousness of human life.

Wen Jiu glanced at the two bodies indifferently, then went to support Qiao Shinian, who was almost collapsed and about to fall to the ground.

“Get rid of it!” he yelled at Haruyuki.

Chunxue looked at Wen Jiu in silence, then stood up, pushed the two corpses away, and called on the people kneeling inside to stand up and drag the two men to the mass grave.

No one knows how many people die in this palace every day, and the people in the mass graves are almost piled up into a small mountain.

"Sister." The voice was sometimes far away and sometimes near.

Qiao Shinian looked at Wen Jiu with a confused look on her face. She could hardly make any sound and only felt as if she was moving.

Her tears were streaming down her face. She wanted to express something to Wen Jiu, but her mind was confused and she tried to reorganize her thoughts.

She tried to say something, but she couldn't hear the sound she made.

The faces of the two little eunuchs were still in front of her.

"Wen Jiu."

"I'm here, don't be afraid, sister." Wen Jiu put Qiao Shinian on the bed and shouted, "Hurry up and get the charcoal stove ready, and bring a hot water bottle."

"Smell, smell the trouble."

"Sister, I'm here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." Wen Jiu gently patted Qiao Shinian's back and comforted her softly, "Sister, I'm here, it's just two dead people, it's okay."

"They're dead." Qiao Shinian stared at Wen Jiu with red eyes, and his tone suddenly became heavier: "How could she be so vicious! Those were two lives!"

"Yeah! She is a bad kid!" Wen Jiu replied. He was not really touched by the death of the two eunuchs.

Just two people died, two useless eunuchs who were dispensable.

If Chunxue, who had taken great care of him and Qiao Shinian, died, he wouldn't feel much.

It’s just two lives!

This is not the peaceful era of Qiao Shinian, so it is normal for people to die.

Seeing Qiao Shinian's bloodless lips, he watched her curl up and tremble in fear.

Wen Jiu felt that he should do something to repay Princess Yu'an. Princess Yu'an liked killing people, so he might as well kill one for her.

When Chunxue came back, she saw Qiao Shinian huddled in Wen Jiu's arms, and Wen Jiu was coaxing her like a child.

The room was quiet with only Wen Jiu's gentle voice. The room was dim and one couldn't see the two people unless they got closer.

After seeing Chunxue, Wen Jiu still did not make any move, but just asked, "Is everything settled?"

“Yes,” Haruyuki replied.

For the poor prince Wen Jiu, the only ones who could follow him to Zhou Kingdom were the unlucky palace maids and eunuchs, or people who were deliberately arranged to come in by someone who wanted to see what Wen Jiu was capable of.

And she is such a person, but her master does not want to see Wen Jiu's ability, but wants her to protect Wen Jiu and wait for him to come and teach Wen Jiu in person.

"Your Highness, Miss Qiao has fallen asleep." Chunxue walked to Wen Jiu and knelt at his feet. "The situation is tense now. You must not provoke Princess Yu'an. Your life is the most important. Before we become stronger, we must not act rashly."

Wen Jiu carefully put Qiao Shinian down, then turned around and pinched Chunxue's chin with an arrogant look, without any trace of his previous obedience.

"Haruxue, no matter what your purpose is with the master behind you, please stop interfering in my work!" After saying that, he let go of her and took out a handkerchief to wipe the hand that had pinched Haruxue's chin just now.

"Do you want me to be your puppet? Chunxue, in Zhou Country, it's easy to get killed, especially for someone like me who has no backing. It's normal for a few servants to die. I don't want to see you among the dead next time."

Haruyuki immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said firmly, "Your Highness, please be careful. Your life is of vital importance to that master."

"It's just a worthless life, how can it be important?" Wen Jiu looked at Chunxue lying on the ground with a half-smile, and said frivolously, "Don't you think that I am a useless prince, worthless, but also so brainless and unreasonable. Don't people like me deserve to die?"

"Your Highness, please don't say such nonsense anymore." Chunxue didn't really understand, but her master had told her before she came that even if they all died, Wen Jiu must be alive.

She didn't understand why that person was so optimistic about this prince with a fickle temperament.

Chunxue thought of this and couldn't help but secretly glance at Qiao Shinian who was lying on the bed. He wasn't a person with a fickle temperament. In front of her, Wen Jiu was always a well-behaved and cunning child.
