Chapter 5: Don’t be afraid, Princess, I will protect you.

Xuancang was suddenly poisoned today, and Gu Hongchao was able to rush over at such a coincident time. If it was said that there was no internal response in her yard, she would not believe it at all!
"Ruihe, take the little maids to pack some clothes and utensils commonly used by me."

Hearing Qin Shuhuang's order, although Ruihe was slightly surprised, he finally held back and didn't ask anything.

Ruixue was curious, so she said it without saying a word, "Your Highness, what are you doing to clean up those? Does Your Highness want to go hunting in the royal hunting ground? If so, this servant will find out His new riding outfit and bring it with you."

Qin Shuhuang looked at Ruixue, Ruixue immediately knew that she was talking too much, and respectfully pleaded guilty, "My servant is talking too much, please punish me, Your Highness."

Qin Shuhuang looked away, "Okay, I won't punish you. I'll give you two days to help me sort out the account books for the past year and send them to you. I want to check them."

Ruixue responded immediately.

"Shi Lan Shi Yu."

"Slaves are willing to obey orders."

"The two of you counted the people I brought into the Gu family, compiled their situation into a book, and handed it over to Bengong two days later."

"Yes!"

The four big maids got busy and went to do the tasks assigned by Qin Shuhuang.

In the evening, Qin Shuhuang found that Xuancang was guarding her door, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, but seeing the black and blue scar on his right eye, the smile on Qin Shuhuang's face faded again.

Qin Shuhuang was smart and noble since she was a child. After her mother gave birth to her, her health was not good. Later, she gave birth to the emperor's younger brother, which hurt her roots again.

At a young age, she learned how to make medicated food with the envoy of the imperial hospital, and she learned a lot of medical principles by ear, but she was too young, and even though she worked hard to study medicine, her mother still left.

But since she married into the Gu family, this medical skill has never been used again.

In her previous life, she had never laid her eyes on Xuan Cang, the captain of the guard beside her, and naturally she had not carefully studied the scars on his face.

Looking closely now, Qin Shuhuang frowned suddenly.

This doesn't seem to be a scar, it seems more like poison!
The remnant king's surname is Xie, and Xie's family is the only king with a different surname in Beijing because of his contribution to Zhenbei.

The third generation of the Xie family, Prince Can, has been eccentric and cruel since he was a child. He is a famous madman among the nobles in Beijing.

It is said that the disabled king was disfigured by a fire. His parents and grandfather were all killed in the fire. He was the only one who survived.

Later, everyone in front of him and behind him wore all kinds of weird and terrifying masks. As time went by, his nickname in Beijing became the crippled king.

So for so many years when Xuan Cang was by her side, she didn't even recognize that Xuan Cang was the crazy crippled king.

There were footsteps outside the door, and Ruixue came in with a smile and a maid carrying a food box, "Your Highness, Mrs. Gu has someone bring food. It's roasted venison that was just cooked in Mrs. Gu's small kitchen. I want to put on some fat in the autumn, and I will send it to your Highness to make up for it, and to make amends for the consort and Miss Gu first."

Qin Shuhuang said lightly: "Bring it to me."

Ruixue hurriedly took the food box from the maid's hand and put the plate of roasted venison on the small table next to Qin Shuhuang.

Immediately, a smell of roasted venison wafted out.

This plate of roasted venison is made from the best loin part of a deer. It has very little fascia and has a delicate texture. Qin Shuhuang grew up with fine food and clothing and could tell at a glance.

But such good venison is only found in Mrs. Gu's yard and Gu Hongchao's yard in the entire Gu residence, but her yard has never had it.

In her previous life, Mrs. Gu would often send some delicacies to "caring" her. At that time, she thought it was the elders' sincere love for her, so she would eat everything up every time, and would even praise her a few times, and even send expensive gifts in return.

Looking at this sweet and tempting venison now, she had no appetite at all.

Qin Shuhuang picked up the venison. Ruixue thought that the princess wanted to eat it while it was hot, so she immediately raised the chopsticks next to her with both hands.

Qin Shuhuang ignored Ruixue who was holding up her chopsticks, and walked quickly towards the gate of the courtyard with the plate of roasted venison.

Everyone didn't know what the eldest princess was going to do, so they all followed her.

At the gate of the courtyard, Qin Shuhuang threw out the plate of roasted venison with the meat, and immediately the delicious food was spilled all over the floor, stained with dirty dirt.

The maid who brought the venison saw that the princess was not only unappreciative, but also threw the venison out of the yard. She stamped her feet angrily and was about to pick up the venison scattered on the ground. Unexpectedly, a yellow dog passed by, and the wind and residual clouds swept the plate away. The deer meat went into his stomach, and he quickly ran away with his tail between his legs.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help it. The dog came just in time. Was it a hint that the food Mrs. Gu sent was only for dogs.

Qin Shuhuang didn't expect such a small episode to happen suddenly.

She was bitten to death by a mad dog in her previous life, and when she was reborn, she became afraid of animals like dogs.

The yellow dog that ran out suddenly was cute and gentle in the eyes of others, but in her eyes, it became an evil ghost baring its fangs.

Her face turned pale, and she couldn't help taking two steps back. Just when she was so frightened that she froze and couldn't move her legs, suddenly a tall black figure stood in front of her.

It's Xuan Cang!
All I heard was Xuan Cang's low and magnetic voice comforting him: "Don't be afraid, eldest princess, I will protect you."

This voice was like the best medicine to calm people's hearts, instantly dispelling the fear in Qin Shuhuang's heart.

She stretched out one hand and gently grasped the black clothes around Xuancang's waist. The extreme contrast of white and black made Xuancang's deep eyes even more unfathomable.

Everyone was paying attention to the door, but Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang certainly didn't pay attention.

After the yellow dog left, Qin Shuhuang let go of Xuan Cang's clothes and turned back to the room.

Xuan Cang turned his head to look at Qin Shuhuang's slender and straight back, a storm was suppressed in his dark eyes.

Half an hour later, Xuan Cang led two personal guards and escorted a familiar woman to Qin Shuhuang.

The personal guard pushed her hard, and the mother-in-law immediately knelt down in fear.

Xuancang cupped his hands, "Your Highness, this was just caught."

After finishing speaking, Xuancang took out an azure purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Qin Shuhuang.

Standing behind Qin Shuhuang, Rui Xue, who kept her head down, trembled when she saw the pattern on the purse.
