A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"This is beautiful, very suitable for the princess."

Wan Dong looked at the plate of headdresses brought by the shopkeeper and picked one to try on Zhuang Ge'er's head.

"Where is the prince?"

Zhuang Ge'er looked at the jewelry for a while, then looked around and found that her future husband was nowhere to be seen again.

"Your Highness has something to discuss in the backyard. If you find it boring here, I can accompany you for a short walk."

Wan Dong glanced at the shopkeeper, and then spoke to Zhuang Ge'er who was looking out the door.

"I'd like to go out for a walk. I remember seeing a snack stand at that intersection. Let's go check it out."

Zhuang Ge'er was naturally craving for cakes and fruits, and she especially liked the coconut and yam cake.

"I will accompany the princess there right away."

Wan Dong smiled shyly and then stepped forward and said.

Smelling the fragrant pastries, Zhuang Ge'er was as happy as a child, asking for this and that. Wandong kept reminding the vendor to wrap them carefully.

"Huan'er..."

Zhuang Ge'er, who was tasting pastries, felt someone gently pulling her arm. She turned around curiously and met a man dressed in black and wearing a black and gold mask.

"How dare you, you little thief, be so rude to our girl."

Wan Dong saw the strangely dressed man pulling Zhuang Ge'er's arm and quickly scolded him.

Hong Qi looked at the unfamiliar face of the woman in front of him and the birthmark on her forehead, and his hand loosened unconsciously, and then he apologized in a low voice.

"Sorry, I...I...I recognized the wrong person."

Zhuang Ge'er glanced at him and nodded. Wan Dong stepped forward and straightened Zhuang Ge'er's sleeves.

"Is everything alright, Princess?"

Late Winter asked softly.

"I'm fine, let's continue choosing."

Zhuang Ge'er smiled and said, Hong Qi, who was turning to leave, heard the familiar voice and suddenly turned back to look at the woman with the same back as Lin Qinghuan.

"No, you...you are Huan'er."

Hong Qi excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhuang Ge'er's arm with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You are such a bold lunatic, you have been so rude to our lady time and again."

Seeing that the man was holding Zhuang Ge'er tightly again for some unknown reason, Wan Dong took out the dagger from his waist without thinking and went up to fight with him.

Hong Qi let go of Zhuang Ge'er with one hand and faced Wan Dong's surprise attack, while the other hand still held Zhuang Ge'er's arm.

"Late winter..."

Zhuang Ge'er was a little surprised that the maid who had served her for several years actually knew kung fu, but what frightened her even more at this moment was the masked man.

The sounds of the two men fighting attracted a crowd of onlookers. Zhuang Kou Shi, who was meeting with spies in the backyard of the shop, also heard people coming to report the situation on the street, so she hurriedly took Bu Ran and a few others and rushed over.

"It's him. He actually found his way to Tokyo City. That's impressive."

Gong Kou Shi saw from afar that the Lin family guard, the man with the black and gold mask, was fighting with Wan Dong with one hand.

"Go, protect the princess."

Bu Ran and several guards quickly flew into the crowd and caught Wan Dong who was slapped back by Hong Qi.

"The princess was captured by that madman."

Wan Dong looked at Bu Ran and Gong Kou Shi in panic and said.

Seeing that there were quite a few people coming from the other side, Hong Qi easily let go of Zhuang Ge'er.

"Huan'er, wait here for me. It will be resolved soon."

After Hong Qi finished speaking, he opened the waist bag with both hands, held the two swords in his hands, began to spin rapidly, and walked towards the crowd.

Zhuang Ge'er felt uncomfortable watching the two swords spinning non-stop, as if they were small needles pricking her heart. She tried hard to think of something, but her head felt like it was exploding.

Gong Kou Shi saw Zhuang Ge'er standing there alone with her head in her hands, frowning and in a daze, so she hurried over and gently supported her.

"Xiao Ge'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gong Kou Shi knew that the Lin family guards were very skilled in martial arts. Seeing that Bu Ran and the others were somewhat defeated, she asked everyone around her to go up, and she protected the distracted Zhuang Ge'er behind her.

"Huan'er."

Hong Qi spun her two swords and kept knocking Gong Kou Shi's guards away. Bu Ran was hit in the chest by the back of the flying sword and fell to the ground, spitting out blood. Wan Dong stepped forward to help her up.

"stop."

Seeing that these people of hers were no match for the Lin family guards, Gong Kou Shi hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.

Zhuang Ge'er hid behind Gong Kou Shi in fear, and kept looking at Hong Qi who was retracting his hands and spinning his two swords.

"Young man, your kung fu is amazing. I think there might be some misunderstanding."

While Gong Koushi was talking, she secretly took out the poison powder given to her by the red-bellied snake hidden in her sleeve.

"Huan'er."

Hong Qi didn't want to fight with these people, so he didn't kill them. He put the two swords back into his waist bag and walked forward to grab Zhuang Ge'er.

"Young man, why do you keep pestering my wife?"

Gong Kou Shi quickly protected Zhuang Ge behind her and then looked at Hong Qi and said.

"She is a girl, she is Huan'er."

Hong Qi looked at Zhuang Ge'er and said firmly, because the woman's figure and voice were exactly the same as the girl she had been looking for for more than three years.

"Young man, my wife's name is Zhuang Ge'er, not Huan'er. Young man, please don't mistake her for someone else."

Gong Kou Shi knew that they were no match for the Lin family guards, so she pretended to be calm and spoke.

"Young man, you might as well take a good look at her face."

Hong Qi looked at the unfamiliar face of Zhuang Ge'er, but she was stubborn and very determined that this was Lin Qinghuan. She hurried forward and tried to grab Zhuang Ge'er.

"Huan'er, I'm Hong..."

Before Hong Qi could finish her words, Gong Kou Shi sprinkled poison powder at her. Then Zhuang Ge'er saw the man wearing the black and gold mask slowly falling to the ground in front of her, and the hand reaching out to her slowly dropped down.

"take away."

Gong Kou Shi waved her long sleeves, opened the medicine bottle in her hand and placed it under Zhuang Ge'er's nose.

"My Lord, please don't harm his life."

Zhuang Ge'er looked at the man with the black and gold mask being dragged away by the guards and pleaded with Gong Kou Shi.

"Well, don't worry."

Gong Kou Shi nodded and looked at the man with the black and gold mask who was a master of martial arts.

On the carriage back home, Gong Kou Shi saw Zhuang Ge'er silent and asked.

"Are you scared?"

"No."

Zhuang Ge'er shook her head.

"Why are you pleading for him?"

Gong Kou Shi asked curiously.

"He had no ill will towards me, he just mistook someone for the wrong person. He probably mistook someone very important to him, so he lost control like that. So it wasn't a big mistake."

Zhuang Ge'er thought of those moist eyes, and her heart couldn't help but tremble again.

"Don't worry, this king is a person who values talent. This person is very skilled in martial arts. It would be great if he could be his."

After Gong Kou Shi finished speaking, she looked at Zhuang Ge'er and continued.

"But if he hurts you, no matter who he is, I will not let him leave Tokyo alive."

"My lord..."

Zhuang Ge'er looked at Gong Kou Shi with a moved smile.
