The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

When her thoughts returned, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel angry for the original owner.

After all, it was a life-saving favor, but those people were really indifferent.

If she had not been discovered by her master who came out to look for her, she would have probably frozen to death by the lake.

It was this cold that entered her body and caused her to become ill.

Li Jinyuan didn't say anything, he just felt a dull pain somewhere in his heart, making his throat feel sore.

She has been married into the Third Prince's Mansion for almost two years, and she only eats leftovers. How could anyone take care of her health?

"Lili...after returning home, I will ask the imperial physician to heal you."

The man's voice was horrifyingly hoarse. Jiang Li turned around and looked into his painful eyes, somewhat confused.

She was clearly not feeling well, so why did she look at him in so much pain that he almost died...?

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Actually, there is nothing serious wrong with my body."

Li Jinyuan stepped forward and took her hand, holding it tightly without any explanation, with a firm attitude.

Seeing this, Jiang Li no longer refused him. After all, she was the one who benefited, so there was no need to be hard on her own body.

……

"Princess! Something bad has happened!"

Qi Yu stepped over the threshold and ran towards the two of them with a nervous look on his face.

Jiang Li had never seen him so flustered, so she was stunned for a moment, and after two seconds she asked worriedly,

"What's going on? Why are you so flustered?"

The man half-knelt to salute, and only after seeing Li Jinyuan's cold eyes did he realize his previous disrespect.

Li Jinyuan lowered his eyes to glance at the anxious girl, a hint of helplessness crossing his brows. Since when did his subordinates no longer turn to him when they encountered problems...

"Come on, tell me what happened? There's something wrong with the crops!"

Jiang Li was extremely anxious, but Qi Yu just knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Li Jinyuan knew that he was waiting for him to speak, so he opened his thin lips and

"The princess is asking you a question, speak up."

"Yes!"

Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the prince did not blame him.

"It's Xiaoli!"

Jiang Li's mind suddenly buzzed, and a bad premonition instantly emerged.

"What happened to Xiaoli!?"

"Today is the day to collect food, but I have waited for a long time and have not seen Xiao Li. Thinking of the princess's instructions, I felt a little worried, so I took the food to her house."

"In the end...it turned out that her heartless father had sold Xiao Li to bandits! He got a large sum of money and was about to leave Changzhou!"

"asshole……"

Jiang Li was so angry that the corners of her eyes turned scarlet, and she wished she could cut Xiao Li's father into pieces immediately!

He is so heartless that he sold his daughter and mother!

"Where's the man? We can't let him get away!"

Qi Yu's face was also filled with resentment, and his voice was a little gritted.

"I have already detained him and await your decision!"

"He is no longer worthy of being a human being, so he naturally does not need to be protected by Beichen anymore. First, he will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane, and then exiled to Lingnan!"

Qi Yu looked up when he heard the voice, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

It seemed that the princess was really furious. Judging from the man's physique, he was almost out of breath after being beaten with fifty sticks. If he was thrown into the border of Lingnan, he would probably die without even being whipped twice by the officials.

This intensity is even more terrifying than the punishment for many serious criminals.

But Qi Yu agreed very much. Compared to the torture he wanted, the princess was too gentle.

"Yes!"

It was the first time that Li Jinyuan saw a girl trembling with anger. Besides feeling distressed, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The big palm gently pried open the clenched pink fist, penetrated between the fingers, and interlocked the fingers.

"Don't worry, I will kill those bandits and bring the little girl back safely."

The man's voice, as clear as ice, washed away the chaos in Jiang Li's mind like a gurgling stream.

She raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, and they met his eyes that were staring at her intently.

Li Jinyuan sighed lightly, then hugged her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her black hair.

Jiang Li buried her little face in the side of his neck. The scent of cedar lingering around her nose made her feel so safe for the first time.

"I want to come along."

"it is good."

……

Outside the Song Mansion, the royal guards were ready to go, and Li Youchuan was deploying his strategy.

"This time we're going up the mountain to suppress the bandits. Their numbers are several times greater than ours! Therefore, we can't resort to a brute force attack. We must not engage head-on before the royal reinforcements arrive!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty imperial guards lined up in an orderly manner and approached the foot of the mountain with great momentum.

The people gathered on both sides of the street and watched them go, their eyes filled with excitement.

After so many years, someone is finally able to get rid of this cancer...

Jiang Li was unwilling to ride in a carriage on this trip.

In response to this, Li Jinyuan rarely said anything, which surprised the girl a little.

It wasn't until she saw the man riding the same horse as her that she realized she had been careless.

His strong arms wrapped around her from behind, and his big hands held the reins. From an outsider's perspective, the difference in their body shapes was too eye-catching.

“Actually, I can do it myself…”

Jiang Li protested quietly. In order to film a drama in modern times, she specially learned horse riding for three months, and her skills can be considered as an intermediate to advanced level.

At this moment, she really wanted to experience the feeling of galloping on horseback again.

Li Jinyuan chuckled and pressed his cheek against Jiang Li's fair and tender face with ambiguous movements.

"I didn't even know when Lili learned to ride a horse?"

The man stretched out the ending tone, which sounded quite meaningful.

Jiang Li's body stiffened. She had forgotten that the original owner, Jiang Li, didn't know how to ride a horse...

"Haha, that's why I want to learn..."

"That's perfect. I'll teach you."

Li Jinyuan chuckled, then squeezed the horse's belly and made the horse move.

The road was bumpy, and the girl's back kept rubbing against his chest. She let out a breath of foul air from her thin lips. He seemed to be asking for trouble...

……

at the foot of the mountain,

Li Youchuan stopped his horse and looked serious.

"We'll set up camp in the dense forest tonight and take the next step after we've explored the terrain."

"Yes!"

The royal guards immediately took action, but what they didn't know was that their actions had been seen by everyone.

Hidden in the dense branches were two people covered in leaves.

"Hey, that beautiful woman among them, is she the one the boss ordered to be captured?"

"What else? Do you think Changzhou can find someone prettier than her!?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Boss is so lucky! Not only can he play with the God of War's woman, but she's also so beautiful... I just wonder if it will be our turn after he gets tired of her!"

"Isn't this a package? The boss is so generous to us. She's just a woman, how can she be more important than a brother!"

"Hehehe, you're right..."

"You watch here, I'll go back and report the news to the boss!"

"go Go!"
