Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

"Princess, wake up." Ji Xingyao patted Amire's face.

Amire's face turned purple. After being slapped twice by Ji Xingyao, his eyes returned to normal and his chest heaved violently.

Seeing that her life was not in danger, Ji Xingyao breathed a sigh of relief.

After the nerves relax, the pain comes.

Amire's whip was very powerful and the wounds were burning with pain.

Ji Xingyao forced himself not to make a sound and swallowed the hum that was about to burst out of his throat.

"Where are you hurt? Let me see." Li Heng pulled Ji Xingyao's arm and squatted down to check her calf.

The clothes in two places were torn, revealing the fair skin. The bright red whip marks were eye-catching and glaring. Li Heng's face darkened, and a violent aura lingered around him.

The two were so close that Ji Xingyao took a few steps back uncomfortably: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm fine."

Li Heng was about to speak when the Nanjiang maid from Mingyue Palace ran out.

"Princess!"

The maid from Southern Xinjiang helped Amire up in shock, looked at Li Heng tremblingly, opened her mouth, but did not dare to say a word.

Li Heng took a few steps forward, and his boots stepped on the black leather whip.

"Princess Amire, although you are a distinguished guest of our dynasty, you have injured the king. According to our dynasty's laws, you must be imprisoned."

Li Heng didn't mention Ji Xingyao at all, and only talked about the whip marks on his back.

Perhaps because he was frightened by Li Heng or because he had not recovered from the fear of death, Amire kept shaking his head and could not speak clearly.

Li Heng used his toes to exert force, hooked and lifted the whip, and the whip fell into his hands.

"Weapons like these are extremely dangerous and should not be seen in the palace. I have confiscated them. Princess Amire, I would like to remind you that the people in Yonghe Palace are under the supervision of the Empress Dowager. It is not the place for outsiders to interfere. If I find them again in the future, please do not blame me for being rude."

Amire swallowed in fear.

She was used to being arrogant and domineering, and she never expected that one day she would be threatened openly.

But Li Heng's aura was too strong, so strong that Amire felt that he would definitely do what he said. He was stronger than the warriors of Southern Xinjiang and could easily break her neck.

Li Heng stared at her, making her hair stand on end.

Li Heng didn't look away until Ami was excited.

He turned and looked at Ji Xingyao: "Let's go, I'll take you back to Yonghe Palace."

His voice was gentle, completely different from his ferocious appearance just now.

Ji Xingyao was in severe pain all over her body and now she needed medicine.

On the way to Yonghe Palace, Li Heng lagged behind her by one step, following her closely with his eyes, unwilling to miss a single moment.

Seeing her limping, Li Heng stretched out his arms several times, trying to pick her up.

Just as his arm was about to touch the corner of Ji Xingyao's clothes, Li Heng withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

In Ji Xingyao's eyes, he was an unforgivable sinner and he was not worthy of touching her.

"Ahem..." Li Heng cleared his throat. "I didn't mean to follow you. I just happened to pass by."

Ji Xingyao twisted her neck with difficulty. What was wrong with Li Heng to explain this to her?

"Thank you for saving me, Your Highness. However, I have no way to repay you, so please don't do anything next time."

"I don't ask for anything in return. I'm willing to be nice to you."

Well, willingly, sincerely towards each other, for a lifetime, as a pair.

She had heard these words countless times before and believed them.

As a result, it turned out that Wen Yuan was right. Men's words are like an old lady's teeth, few of them are true.

Ji Xingyao didn't want to hear another word he said, but she had just been saved by him, so she couldn't just chase him away.

She simply kept silent and continued on her way.

Halfway through the walk, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to switch the sound in her haste.

Did Li Heng hear it?

Ji Xingyao bit her lower lip in annoyance. Judging from Li Heng's attitude towards her, he probably heard it.

She warned herself that details determine success or failure, and she must not make such a low-level mistake again next time.

In fact, she knew very well that her identity had been exposed long ago after she went to Ruiping Palace.

But she refused to admit it, and Li Heng couldn't do anything about it.

"Ling'er, why did you go to Mingyue Palace?" Li Heng's voice came from behind.

Ji Xingyao pretended to be deaf and dumb, and insisted on Ling'er's identity. "The emperor has banned the queen again. I feel sorry for her. Why can Mingyue Palace enjoy opera and the emperor's favor? I came to see if Mingyue Palace has good feng shui, why is everything going smoothly and why she keeps rising to high positions?"

Li Heng pondered for a moment and said, "My Royal Brother is doing this for the good of the Royal Sister-in-law."

Ji Xingyao sneered, "Your Highness, you must be mistaken. House arrest is a punishment. Since ancient times, a concubine who was confined to her house was no different from being sent to the cold palace."

Li Heng replied quickly: "It's different. My brother is different, and my sister-in-law is different too. Don't underestimate yourself."

Ji Xingyao sneered. Wen Yuan had accompanied Li Zhao until now as the Crown Princess, but in the end, not only did she not sit on the throne of Queen, she was also confined to her house and forced to compete with the Princess of Southern Xinjiang.

Such grace is indeed “different.”

"Ling'er, if the Empress Dowager needs anything, please tell me. I will do my best to help her."

Ji Xingyao didn't give him any face:

"Your Highness, what a joke! You know you can't do it."

"......"

Li Heng was choked. He really couldn't ask his brother to lift the ban.

Moreover, the harem is now in turmoil, and what seems to be a ban is actually a protection.

Li Heng had no way of telling Ji Xingyao the inside story, and when she ridiculed him, he just endured it silently.

The two stopped talking, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard, one in front and one behind.

"Oh, my Lord, what's wrong with you?"

When they were almost at Yonghe Palace, they met Eunuch Zhou.

"The prince is fine. Please ask Eunuch Zhou to invite the imperial physician over and bring some wound medicine and scar cream to Yonghe Palace. Ling'er is injured and needs treatment."

Only then did Eunuch Zhou realize that Ling'er was also injured.

He asked doubtfully, "Is this a whip mark?"

"Ah."

Eunuch Zhou understood that the only person who could openly hurt King Ruiping was probably the ignorant Princess Nanjiang in Mingyue Palace.

Even though Eunuch Zhou was a smooth talker who never offended any of his masters, he couldn't help but reprimand her: "The Princess of Southern Xinjiang is too presumptuous. I will report this to the Emperor."

"Eunuch Zhou." Li Heng stopped him and said, "Go get the medicine first and ask the imperial physician."

"Hey, let's go home now."

Li Heng did not stay outside this time, but accompanied Ji Xingyao into Yonghe Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, Ji Xingyao saw a row of boxes in the yard. Some of the boxes had not been closed in time. Inside were high-end silk fabrics, precious medicinal materials, jade, porcelain, jewelry, etc.

This is the reward sent by Li Zhao.

No matter what.

Li Zhao was very good at using the tactic of giving someone a sweet date after giving them a beating, which was a way to win people's hearts.

"Ah, Prince, Ling'er, are you injured?"

Nanny Li's exclamation woke up Wen Yuan who was dozing off.
