Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 795
Hongxiu thought that she was about to die in such a humiliating manner, but unexpectedly, things turned around.

There was a scream, and the guard who was pressing on him was suddenly thrown aside.

Opening her eyes, Hong Xiu's eyes were a little blurry. The slap just now was too hard, and she still hasn't recovered from it yet.

An outer shirt was covering her body, Hong Xiu turned her head to look, but was surprised to find that the person who saved her was actually the man who robbed her yesterday.

The screams kept coming, and Hong Xiu looked back at the two people who were screaming.

"Boss, what should we do?" Kicking the guard on the ground, the person who robbed yesterday turned his head and asked the man beside Hongxiu.

"Get rid of it." The man's voice was without a trace of warmth, he opened his mouth to order, and hugged Hongxiu from the ground.

Withdrawing his gaze, Hongxiu looked at the man who was hugging him. Behind him, the screams came again, but it was two very short ones.

Hongxiu understood that the two guards who wanted to defile her had already lost their lives.

For this, Hongxiu didn't sympathize at all. Such a person really deserved to be killed.

"Are you okay?" After walking a certain distance, the man put down the red sleeves and asked, the red sleeves shook his head, and stretched out his hands to gather the long gown on his body.

The clothes were torn, and she was taken away without a chance to change clothes, so she could only wear the other party's long gown.

After all, Hongxiu is a woman. The men's clothes she wore before were specially modified by others. Now she is wearing a man's outer shirt, which looks like a child stealing an adult's clothes.

"You saved me again." I suffered internal injuries yesterday because I fell off the horse. If the man in front of me hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have lost my life.

Although the injury was also due to them, it was considered even. Today he brought someone to rescue him, so that he was not defiled and survived.

"How do you thank me?" Looking at Hong Xiu's pale face, the man's tone was still light, "My name is Ji Li."

"Master Ji." Hearing the other party's name, Hong Xiu greeted him, but didn't know what to say.

"Ji Li." Correcting Hong Xiu's name, Ji Li's tone showed a bit of persistence.

"Ji Li, I...I still have something important to do, can I repay you after I finish my work?"

She narrowly escaped death, but what Hongxiu was thinking about was still the imperial concubine Ronghuang in the palace. She looked at Ji Li and began to discuss.

"Where are you going?" Before Hongxiu was riding a horse, she seemed to be in a hurry. She left before dawn in the morning. Ji Li guessed that she had something to do.

"I...I..." Hongxiu bit her lip, but couldn't say it out, she didn't know what to say.

"I can send you there, and I will repay you after you finish the work." Seeing the embarrassment on Hongxiu's face, Ji Li suggested, "I'll take you off on horseback, it will be faster and it will protect your safety."

Hearing what Ji Li said, Hong Xiu couldn't help but think of what happened before, her face turned paler, and she hesitated whether to agree or not.

"Boss." Behind him, the men who had taken care of everything followed, and when they saw Ji Li talking to Hong Xiu, they greeted him.

"You guys go back first, the horse stays here." Turning his head, Ji Li gave instructions to his companions.

After Ji Li finished speaking, the group of people nodded, left a horse behind, and turned to leave. Obviously, the group of people were very convinced of Ji Li.

"Shall we go too?" When his companions had gone far away, Ji Li looked at Hong Xiu and said again.

"Okay." Nodding her head, Hong Xiu also knew that there was no need to delay the matter, she didn't care about other things, and followed Ji Li on the horse.

"Eat." Handed Hong Xiu a pill, Ji Li gave an order, Hong Xiu took the pill, let Ji Li hug her, and rode forward.

"Where are you going?" No matter where Hongxiu is going, there must be a direction, Ji Li asked him again, this time, Hongxiu did not hesitate, and said his destination.

Clearness flashed across his eyes, before, Ji Li guessed that Hongxiu was from the palace, now it seems that it is so.

"Are you a court lady?" After getting the seat, Ji Li didn't speed up immediately, he hugged the red sleeves a little tighter, and asked again.

He moved his body uncomfortably, Hong Xiu responded, Ji Li didn't speak, and urged the horse to run forward.

Ji Li's horse is a very good horse. In the evening, the two arrived at a small town near the palace.

"Eat something, take a rest, and I'll take you to the palace tomorrow." The clothes on Hongxiu belonged to Ji Li, and she couldn't possibly be face-to-face with this appearance.

What's more, it's already evening, even if I go to the palace, I may not be able to enter it.

Although she was anxious, Hong Xiu still complied, and the two entered the inn, Ji Li only had one room.

"The shopkeeper said that there is only one room left." Facing Hong Xiu's gaze, Ji Li said calmly, but Hong Xiu didn't dare to take out the money left on him in front of him, so he had to follow Ji Li into the room.

"I have someone prepare hot water, and after eating, you can take a bath and change into clean clothes."

Because of the day's events, Hongxiu was a little embarrassed at this time.

"Thank you." No matter what, I have to thank him. If it wasn't for the man in front of me, I'm afraid I would have died in that forest at this time.

"Well, I'm going to buy some clothes." Ji Li didn't bring any clothes. He was wearing a long gown with red sleeves. If it's hot today, he's not used to wearing one piece of clothing for several days.

In response, Hongxiu entered the room. When the hot water was ready, she tidied up carefully and changed into women's clothes.

At that time in the capital, Hong Xiu only bought a suit of men's clothing. After all, if he rode a horse, he could arrive there in more than a day.

After arriving, she was going to the palace in women's clothing to ask for help. Now, the men's clothing has been broken, and she can arrive in the palace tomorrow, so naturally she has to change into the heroine.

When Ji Li came back, what he saw was the red sleeves that had been changed into women's clothes. He raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

"I want to take a bath too. Do you go out and wait, or lie on the bed?" Looking at Hong Xiu, Ji Li asked, Hong Xiu blushed, got up and left the room.

Soon, Ji Li packed up. He only ate something less. He left the room and had dinner with Hongxiu.

After returning to the room, Hong Xiu was a little uneasy. There was only one bed in the room, and she planned to sleep on the couch beside her at night.

Anyway, it's hot today, so don't worry about catching cold. Besides, as a court lady, I used to sleep on the couch often.

"After taking the medicine, you sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the couch." Giving Hong Xiu a pill, Ji Li dispensed it, Hong Xiu wanted to say something, but saw the persistence on Ji Li's face.

After thanking her, Hongxiu took the medicine, folded her clothes and lay down on the bed, facing the bed, with a lot of thoughts in her heart...
