Prince Rui stood firm and immediately helped Chu Ci, who was wearing men's clothes, up from the ground. "Were you the one who spoke just now?"

Chu Ci nodded and replied quietly, "It's me."

Seeing King Rui being so arrogant, the Wild Boar's lackeys rolled up their sleeves and said, "Boy, you look like a normal person, but you dare to attack our young master? I think you don't want to live anymore."

"Everyone else, come up and take them down, and present them to the young master. He will definitely be very happy then."

A group of people rushed up, and King Rui had murderous intentions. Chu Ci could feel it from the side.

She quickly stopped King Rui and shook her head at him. King Rui then changed the palm wind in his hand and waved his hand, throwing them all to the first floor. "Get out of here! If you dare to make a sound again, you will die!"

The wild boar that fell to the first floor was still full of indignation. When she saw the figure of the speaker clearly, she ran away with her butt between her legs.

His life was pitiful enough. He actually offended this evil god. If his father knew about this, he would definitely break all five of his legs and kill him.

Seeing that they had all run away, Chu Ci stepped forward to help Qiao Yu up, "Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu, wake up quickly."

Qiao Yu looked at Chu Ci with misty eyes, "Sister Chu, it's you. I felt like I was dreaming just now. Someone wants to harm me. Sister Chu, I've been looking for you everywhere."

Qiao Yu couldn't stand steadily, and Chu Ci helped her sway back and forth. Finally, Prince Rui reached out and held her slender waist, and the two of them were able to stand steadily.

Chu Ci felt the big hand on her waist, and her cheeks instantly flushed. She looked at the hand on her waist and asked, "Where are you putting your hands?"

Prince Rui shrugged nonchalantly, "How about I let go? I'm fine with that."

Chu Ci looked at Qiao Yu in his arms and fell silent!

"Oh, is this a heroic act of saving the damsel in distress? Then what's next? Is it a show of not being able to repay the favor?"

Prince Rui glanced at him, then introduced Chu Ci, "This is Shangguan Xuan."

Chu Ci nodded, "Hello, Master Shangguan, my name is Chu Ci, and I am the eldest daughter of the Pingyang Marquis's family."

Shangguan Xuan looked at Prince Rui when he saw the lively atmosphere. "This young lady has quite unique tastes. A girl actually likes to hang out in places like this."

Chu Ci nodded in agreement, "Mr. Shangguan is right, otherwise I would not have met someone like you who has the same special taste. I have to say that your name is really good. Your gender is also mysterious."

After Chu Ci finished speaking, she didn't even glance at the two of them, and walked out with Qiao Yu. Although her business was not done yet, Qiao Yu's condition was no longer suitable to stay here.

The two of them had just taken a step when they saw Qiao Sheng coming in anxiously from downstairs with his servant.

The madam went to greet them, but Qiao Sheng pushed her away. "Did you see those two handsome young men?"

The madam thought of Chu Ci and the other person. They were on the second floor. Could this old man be looking for someone?

When Qiao Sheng went up to the second floor, he saw Chu Ci holding Qiao Yu in her arms, with Prince Rui putting his hands on Chu Ci's waist.

Without saying a word, Qiao Sheng clenched his fist and stepped forward to punch Prince Rui in the face, "Take your dirty hands away."

Prince Rui had long been unhappy with him, and when he saw Qiao Sheng about to take action, he just smiled coldly and stood still.

After being hit hard by the punch, he wanted to punch Qiao Sheng back.

At this critical moment, Chu Ci let go of Qiao Yu in his arms, opened his arms, and protected Qiao Sheng behind him, "Wait a moment."

Prince Rui looked at Chu Ci coldly, "You are protecting him again." Prince Rui's eyes were full of hurt. Once and twice, she chose Qiao Sheng.

What's so good about him? No matter his appearance, figure or status, he is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Chu Ci blinked, not understanding what this sentence meant, but it didn't matter.

"He misunderstood. Let me explain to him. If you land one punch on him, he'll be crippled if not dead."

Shangguan Xuan stared at King Rui fearlessly. He had been playing with King Rui for such a long time, and this was the first time he saw someone dare to protect the person he wanted to attack in front of him.

Prince Rui looked at Qiao Sheng with narrowed eyes and slowly lowered his raised fist. "Are you saying that I took that punch in vain?"

Chu Ci glanced at Qiao Sheng behind him and said, "You misunderstood. Qiao Yu was drunk and dishonest. I was holding her and couldn't stand steadily. His Royal Highness Prince Rui was trying to help us."

Qiao Sheng wanted to say more, but Chu Ci quickly interrupted him. If he said anything else, she might not be able to protect him. "Qiao Yu is drunk. Take her home quickly."

Qiao Sheng glanced at Prince Rui and Shangguan Xuan, then looked at Chu Ci worriedly, "What about you? You're not going with us?"

Chu Ci shook his head and said, "I still have things to do." Perhaps, if he wanted to take the person away this time, he would need to rely on King Rui's power, which would make it easier.

Chu Ci was afraid that Qiao Sheng would not leave, so he helped Qiao Yu up and handed her to Qiao Sheng. He pushed the two of them far away. Finally, he looked at Prince Rui with concern and said, "You are not allowed to cause trouble for him secretly."

Prince Rui glanced at Lin Feng and said, "He is not worthy yet."

Prince Rui dragged Chu Ci's hand back to his private room, personally pulled a chair for Chu Ci and poured water for him, "Don't forget that the matter of this punch has not been resolved yet."

Chu Ci glared at him, took out a bottle of ointment from his arms, scooped out a little, and gently applied it on Prince Rui's face.

Prince Rui smiled with his eyebrows curved, "This can only be considered as interest."

Shangguan Xuan and Lin Feng were stunned by Prince Rui's performance. Was this the same Prince Rui they knew? Seeing that smirk, they really wanted to go up and punch him again.

After the food and wine were served, Prince Rui kept picking up food for Chu Ci, while Chu Ci was picking up food from the bowl from time to time, his eyes constantly looking downstairs. According to his memories from his previous life, this should be about the same.

Sure enough, not long after, the person Chu Ci was looking for appeared.

A woman wearing a layer of gauze, a veil, holding a pipa in her arms, really perfectly interprets the meaning of "holding the pipa half-covered", even the woman Chu Ci felt a little moved when she saw her.

She walked onto the stage, bowed slightly to the crowd, and the lingering sound of the pipa in her hand came out.

Shangguan Xuan secretly kicked Prince Rui's foot and gestured for her to look at Chu Ci. "Your beloved is indeed not an ordinary person. He is so absorbed in looking at women. Is there something wrong going on?"

Prince Rui also felt it from the look in Chu Ci's eyes. No, her eyes were full of joy and surprise, not the look of someone meeting someone for the first time at all.

Chu Ci looked at the enchanting woman and thought of her previous life. Qiuyue had blocked everything for her alone in order to save her. Later, her master went to save her, and she had never seen this little girl again.

At that time, the master said that he would treat her, but she later found out that it was not the case at all. She had mental problems and was unwilling to see anyone. In the end, she took her own life.

No one knows what happened to her during that time.

"Qiuyue, I'm here, I'm here to take you home!" Chu Ci whispered softly, full of guilt.

Prince Rui looked at Chu Ci in surprise. Do they know each other?
