Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

Kong Kong said with a depressed look on his face: "Master, are you just going to watch him and protect that vicious woman like a snake?"

At this time, Jin Jiusi had quietly returned to the room, sitting elegantly on the edge of the bed, casually playing with the dagger in his hand that was shining with cold light.

She parted her red lips and said coldly, "Give in? Humph, when has this palace ever tolerated others' reckless behavior? When have I ever stopped being that vengeful and meticulous deity?"

After hearing this, Kong Kong was still a little confused and asked cautiously, "Then you..."

Jin Jiusi narrowed his eyes slightly and replied with a half-smile, "I will just sit here quietly and wait for him to come to me."

Her tone was calm, yet it contained a chilling murderous intent.

Kong Kong couldn't help but shudder. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to continue asking: "What if he doesn't dare to come?"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Jiusi raised a scornful smile and said disdainfully: "Don't you dare to come?"

Just as she said this, the next moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Tsk, isn't it coming?"

Jin Jiusi sneered, then waved his jade hand. The dagger in his hand flew out like lightning and rushed straight towards the door.

The dagger was like a streak of silver light, moving at an astonishing speed.

However, Yun Chenyu, who was standing outside the door, reacted extremely quickly. He flashed and stretched out his right hand effortlessly, accurately grabbing the dagger flying towards him with his bare hands.

In an instant, the extremely sharp blade cut his palm, and drops of bright red liquid slowly flowed out from the wound like delicate and beautiful flowers, falling to the ground drop by drop.

Although his hand was injured, Yun Chenyu seemed unaware of it. He held the dagger tightly and strode into the room without changing his expression.

He walked up to Jin Jiusi, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please punish me."

After saying this, he used his uninjured left hand to lift up his long gown, indicating that he was willing to accept the blame.

"Your Highness saved my life. My fate is entirely up to Your Highness." Yun Chenyu said, bowing his head and clasping his fists in salute.

Jin Jiusi stood up, walked up to him, and took back his dagger.

She lifted Yun Chenyu's chin with the blood-stained dagger, forcing him to look up at Jin Jiusi.

"What if I insist on taking her life? What will the Prime Minister do?" Jin Jiusi said in a petty way.

As she spoke, she took back the dagger that was placed on his chin.

Yun Chenyu stood up at this moment, walked over to Jin Jiusi and asked softly, "Your Highness, I will obey you. Your Highness, hand me the knife, and I will do it."

"You'd better give me a satisfactory explanation for what you said and did in the front hall just now, otherwise..."

"He's just a clown. Why dirty your Highness's hands?"

Jin Jiusi raised his eyes slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "What if I insist?"

"In that case, I am willing to be your Highness's sword." Yun Chenyu said softly.

Jin Jiusi leaned closer to Yun Chenyu, raised his hand and pinched his bloody chin, "I'm suddenly a little fed up."

Yun Chenyu's eyes trembled for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Are you...tired?"

"Yes! I'm tired of you." Jin Jiusi said readily.

Yun Chenyu took a deep breath and said, "Even if Your Highness gets tired of me, I will always be loyal to Your Highness."

Jin Jiusi snorted coldly, loosened his hand, turned around and walked away a few steps, "The way you defend Jun Muxue makes me feel a little sick."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chenyu staggered back two steps, looking a little dejected.

"Your Highness, I am not defending her."

Jin Jiusi listened in silence for a long time before he slowly spoke: "If it's not to protect her, could it be to protect me?"

"The Queen Mother's people are behind her. If Your Highness punishes her in class, the gossip will be the least of the problems. The most troublesome thing will be that the Queen Mother's party will take the opportunity to cause trouble." Yun Chenyu explained patiently.

Jin Jiusi's expression paused, a wave of anxiety rising in his heart, but his face remained cold. "Are you worried that the Queen Mother and her followers will target me?"

Yun Chenyu smiled bitterly, "Yes!"

Kong Kong anxiously added, "Master, Master, I've found out. A direct descendant of the Empress Dowager's mother's family has disguised themselves and entered the Imperial City, residing in the Duke's Mansion. Those people also taught that wicked woman what she said. If you punish her for this, the Empress Dowager will surely exploit it, and you might be in big trouble."

Jin Jiusi now has a very high reputation among the people. The Queen Mother wants to kill two birds with one stone.

He instigated Jun Muxue to provoke Jin Jiusi, and even found such a lame excuse, saying that one of the crucial ingredients in the antidote to the plague was obtained by a folk doctor.

If Jin Jiusi lost his temper, he could kill a daughter of a duke's mansion in the blink of an eye, but at the same time he would be caught by the empress dowager.

By then, if Jun Muxue died, even if she realized that the princess's mansion was set up, the evidence would be gone and she would still be infamous.

But if Jin Jiusi doesn't fall for it, it will still disgust her for a while.

She knew what kind of person the Queen Mother was and what kind of personality Jin Jiusi had after fighting with him once.

That's why she deliberately let Jun Muxue come to the princess's mansion to disgust her.

Jin Jiusi turned his head and stared at him with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"Jun Muxue stays here for now, come here." Jin Jiusi glanced at his injured hand and said.

As she applied medicine and bandaged Yun Chenyu's wound, she asked, "So you already knew that the old woman's men had arrived in the Imperial City?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Yun Chenyu answered truthfully.

"Then I should thank you for stopping it?"

"It's my fault. I didn't think it through..."

"It is indeed your fault. You should have told me about this earlier instead of acting on your own initiative. Besides, it's okay to kill Jun Muxue, especially since I haven't even touched her hair."

"I have acknowledged my mistakes and I beg Your Highness to punish me."

"Since you accept the punishment, then leave immediately. I don't want to see you for the next three months."

Jin Jiusi said this, turning his back to him.

Yun Chenyu looked at her figure, his eyes darkening.

He knew that His Highness was really angry this time.

"Sir, obey the order."

*

In the dungeon of the Yun Mansion, Jun Muxue was tied up and thrown into the water dungeon.

She has been captured for five days and can hear screams from time to time every day.

She was very nervous at first, but now she is used to it.

I have to say, she adapted quickly.

The prison door made a slight sound, and Jun Muxue raised her eyes with difficulty. Yun Chenyu, dressed in a black robe, walked slowly towards her.

"You, you are Chen Yu?! Are you here to rescue me?" Jun Muxue's eyes lit up.

Yun Chenyu walked to the edge of the water dungeon, looked down at her and said, "You're being used as a pawn and you're still complacent. This water dungeon is where you belong."

"......How...could it be...could it be that you were the one who brought me in?" Jun Muxue asked in disbelief.

"If you're not dead in three months, I'll let you go."

I haven't seen His Highness for three months, and it's all thanks to you.

Don't die too early...
