Lock and secure

"The prince guarded the princess all night!"

"Who said that! The prince used the princess to vent his anger, and then threw her into the woodshed after he was done with her!"

"That evil man should have been killed. I really don't know why the prince married him!"

Some people have doubts:

"Isn't the prince falling in love with the princess..."

As long as someone begins to doubt this matter, it will become a seed that takes root and sprouts in everyone's heart.

A group of people were heavy-hearted, and the powerless feeling of being betrayed and abandoned gradually filled their hearts. Some people's eyes were filled with hatred, some with resentment, and some with confusion.

If the prince abandons them, where will they go? How will they avenge their parents and brothers?

They are just a group of people gathered together!

Even if they wore the uniforms of imperial guards, they were just a group of common people who had learned some rudimentary kung fu!

Bei Zhenting has never realized so clearly that this group of people is just a mob!

A mob might overthrow a regime, but it can also disintegrate it. They have no brains and are not as obedient as regular soldiers. Their overthinking can even interfere with their judgment and decisions, hindering them.

This thought may be an excuse for him not to take action against Luo Yao, or it may be because he is angry about the prejudice of these people. This group of people only makes him feel irritated at the moment!

Letting Luo Yao live in the woodshed was his last concession!

He sent people to guard the woodshed where Luo Yao lived to protect Luo Yao, and ordered the guards to disperse the mob. Bei Zhenting sat in the study with a splitting headache.

"How's the check going?"

Li Qingyun, still with a white cloth tied around his head, landed silently in the room. "Your Highness, as you said, Mr. He delivered food to the princess. I have thoroughly checked the kitchen, and it is indeed true. Since the princess entered the mansion, the kitchen has only delivered meals a few times. Also, during my thorough investigation, I discovered that there are people arranged by the butler Wang to monitor the western courtyard of the palace..."

Bei Zhenting frowned, "Have you found out who is delivering food to the princess?"

"not yet……"

Bei Zhenting was furious: "You've never reported so many things to me! Li Qingyun, you're becoming increasingly useless! Hurry up and get out of here and investigate!"

"Yes!"

Li Qingyun left and Zhang Jiji came in again.

"Your Highness, there's one thing I haven't told you. While the princess was taking care of you, that person followed her..."

Bei Zhenting's eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at Zhang Jiji.

Zhang Jiji was embarrassed: "The person above once issued an order to summon the princess to the palace, but the princess disobeyed the order... I suspect that even Qingxin Hall has someone with that person."

That person?

Bei Zhenting's mind flashed to the burly man who suddenly appeared beside Ye Qing... a tall, stupid guy who didn't look like...

"Check it for me!"

Zhang Jiji was ordered to withdraw.

Bei Zhenting just felt that there were not enough people and there were too many things to check!

The matter in Zhejiang Province has not been fully investigated! At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, it was still unclear who was trying to harm Luo Yao!

There are still three unsolved cases in the prefecture! In addition, Mr. He’s funeral must be held!

So many things happened in just six days of him lying in bed!

Thinking about what happened when he saw Luo Yao in the dungeon last night, he felt a wave of fear. If he had come a step later, he would never see Luo Yao again!

Who summoned Aunt Wei from the military camp? And where did Luo Xinchen get that wooden doll he was playing with? Why was it filled with medicinal stone powder? Where did the missing medicinal stone powder go? Was it the same medicinal stone powder in He Lao's pills? Or was it something else?

I haven't slept in the past two days! My brain is about to explode!

He was just thinking hard when a servant came running in hurriedly.

"Your Highness, the princess has woken up and is agitated. She's making a lot of noise and even spilled her food, refusing to take her medicine..."

Bei Zhenting waved his hand to drive the servant away, then stood up and walked out of the study.

In the woodshed, Luo Yao's mind was in a state of confusion, and his emotions were also very chaotic. Sometimes he curled up in the corner, shivering and muttering "no, no". Sometimes he stood by the wall and banged his head against it, his lips trembling and he didn't know what he was muttering. Sometimes he screamed loudly and cried loudly.

The guards heard the banging sounds of the man hitting the wall and were afraid that he would hurt himself, so they wanted to step forward to stop him. However, as soon as they got close, the princess was as sharp as a wild beast in the mountains. She would hit them as soon as she sensed them approaching. Several guards were beaten and had nosebleeds.

Now everyone was looking at the princess shivering in the corner and no one dared to approach her.

When Bei Zhenting arrived, he saw a group of guards with bruised faces and noses, some even bleeding from their noses. None of them dared to step forward. Luo Yao was standing barefoot on a pile of straw and banging his head against the wall.

The wound on his forehead started bleeding again. Seeing this scene, Bei Zhenting's face turned black.

The guards had been with the princess for a few days and thought she was a good person; but after being beaten by the princess for several consecutive days, they were afraid of the beatings and ran away as soon as they saw the prince coming.

The only people left in the woodshed were Bei Zhenting and Luo Yao, who was banging his head against the wall.

"Come down." Bei Zhenting called Luo Yao.

Luo Yao heard it, stopped banging his head against the wall, tilted his head to look at him, as if wondering who this human was. It was unknown whether he figured it out or not. Luo Yao suddenly bared his teeth at Bei Zhenting, then turned his head and continued banging his head against the wall.

Bei Zhenting walked forward step by step with a sullen face. Luo Yao was really watching Bei Zhenting's movements with his peripheral vision, ready to go crazy and hit him at any time.

Bei Zhenting approached, Luo Yao stopped and banged his head against the wall, like a wild beast, making a low whimper in his throat, protesting against Bei Zhenting.

Bei Zhenting slowly approached, and Luo Yao slowly retreated. The two were like beasts confronting each other, testing each other to see who would expose their weakness first.

Suddenly Bei Zhenting stretched out his hand. Luo Yao thought Bei Zhenting was going to hit him, so he slapped Bei Zhenting's hand away and dodged sideways. Unexpectedly, Bei Zhenting was waiting for him to escape sideways. He quickly stretched out his other hand and pulled him into his arms around the waist, holding him in his arms with both hands.

The deafening screams and cries that erupted in an instant made Bei Zhenting feel like his ears were going to be deafened.

After struggling desperately, the two men fell and sat on the straw.

He couldn't break free from the hand that was restraining him, and Luo Yao suddenly became quiet for some reason. Just when Bei Zhenting was calming down, Luo Yao suddenly bit his arm.

"Hiss..." Bei Zhenting felt pain. A group of guards outside the house heard the prince's suppressed voice and trembled with fear.

Luo Yao seemed to want to bite his arm off, using all his strength. Bei Zhenting reached out and touched Luo Yao's head, chuckling, "Yaoyao, are you a puppy?"

When the puppy heard the name "Yaoyao", his mouth froze and relaxed a little, but he was still biting Bei Zhenting's arm.

Warm water dripped onto his hand, and Bei Zhenting felt a surge of fear in his heart. He raised his arm, and sure enough, the puppy was crying again.

What a crybaby.

Bei Zhenting held up Luo Yao's tear-stained face, and the only thing left in Luo Yao's eyes was Bei Zhenting.

It stopped biting people and calmed down. After calming down, it began to tremble all over, as if it was afraid of Bei Zhenting.

Bei Zhenting wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Luo Yao closed his eyes in fear, then quickly opened them and stared at Bei Zhenting, as if he was worried that the human who wiped his tears would suddenly disappear.

The fluttering wet eyelashes brushed across his fingertips, and Bei Zhenting's heart was stirred.

"Stop crying."
