Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 11
Li Shang?I seem to have heard the name.Lin Zijiang suddenly remembered his voice, it was the person who came to meet her on the wedding day.It's just that she covered her head the whole time that day, so she didn't recognize her.

Today, it seems that he is dressed in black brocade, tall and handsome, but there is a scar on the right cheek, which extends from the temple to the chin, which looks a bit piercing.If it weren't for this scar, he must be considered a handsome man.

"Guard Li, why don't you protect the prince by his side, what are you doing here?" Xue Yuliu asked angrily.

"Go back to madam, the prince hasn't returned to the mansion yet. When the subordinates patrolled as usual, they heard the sound of fighting here, so they came to have a look."

"What? Do you want to meddle in Mrs. Ben's business?" Xue Yuliu asked in a threatening tone with her phoenix eyes slightly slanted.

Li Shang still didn't change his face, and replied respectfully: "I don't dare, but my duty is to protect the safety of the people in the palace, and please don't make things difficult for me, madam."

"You mean you want to protect her?"

"The safety of the princess is naturally the responsibility of the subordinates." Li Shang said firmly.

Hearing Li Shang say the word wangfei, Xue Yuliu became a little excited: "Wangfei? She's an ugly girl, why should she be a wangfei? I'm just helping the lord clean up the house."

"No matter what madam thinks, the princess was bestowed by the emperor. Does madam want the prince to be accused of disobeying the imperial decree?"

"I..." Xue Yuliu was at a loss for words for a moment, thinking about Li Shang's words: the prince has only been married for a few days, if he really kills this ugly girl today, it will indeed bring trouble to the prince.

Then Liu Mei raised her eyebrows and said to Lin Zijiang: "Okay, I will let you go today for the sake of the prince."

After speaking, she took her group of "thugs" and left.

Seeing Xue Yuliu leave, she quickly helped Lin Zijiang up with a smile: "Princess, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Lin Zijiang smiled lightly at her.Turning around again, he said to Li Shang, "Thank you for saving me just now."

"My concubine is serious. I beg her to forgive me for not being able to protect her in time." Li Shang lowered his head and said, then turned his head and said with a smile, "Hurry up and help the princess in, and help her bandage the wound."

Only then did Hanxiao remember that Lin Zijiang's right hand was cut, and quickly helped her into the house.

Hanxiao hurriedly pulled out some white cloth strips, and said with tears in her eyes: "There is no medicine here, the princess will use this cloth to bandage it first. Later, I will go to the pharmacy to ask for some wound medicine."

Lin Zijiang naturally knows her current situation in the palace. Now that King Yue is not here, Xue Yuliu is the biggest one left in the palace. Since she intends to hurt herself today, she will definitely not ask the pharmacy to give me medicine for my wound.Then he said with a relieved smile, "It's okay, just bandage it to stop the bleeding."

Seeing Lin Zijiang so indifferent, Han Xiao was very surprised.She originally thought that the princess was a pampered young lady, but she didn't expect that she would not give up after suffering such a great insult and pain today, nor did she shed a single tear. She couldn't help saying in admiration: "Princess, you are the strongest person you have ever seen with a smile on your face." .”

"Really?" Lin Zijiang smiled.Such minor injuries are really nothing to her. In the past, when I was a fledgling, I went to perform missions. That time, I was not beaten all over my body and narrowly escaped death. Master once said that only those who have endured these hardships are qualified to stand He is by his side, so she dare not be strong.

"Yeah, if you were an ordinary person, you would have cried and begged Mrs. Yuliu for mercy, but you still insist on not giving in, and now you can still laugh. This servant really admires you."

"Probably because I suffered a lot of injuries before, so I have a better ability to withstand pressure." Lin Zijiang joked.

"Ability to withstand stress? This servant doesn't understand." She scratched her head in confusion with a smile.

"Um, it's the ability to resist pain. I have suffered many injuries, so I don't feel this little pain." Lin Zijiang explained.

"Has the princess been injured a lot before? How could it be?"

"Uh, I was naughty when I was young, so I was often injured." Lin Zijiang said perfunctorily.I thought to myself, this girl really has a lot of problems.

"By the way, who is that Li Shang who just appeared?" Lin Zijiang asked, changing the subject.

"He is the prince's personal bodyguard, and he is also the commander of the palace's guards. He is always in the front yard, and it is difficult for us lowly people to see him. I don't know why he came to our remote courtyard today, but Fortunately, he passed by and saved the princess." Said with a smile.

"That's it." Lin Zijiang Lin Zijiang was thoughtful, she could be sure that Li Shang did not pass by by accident today, judging from his skill, it was very likely that he was the figure she saw that night.And today he could appear in such a timely manner, Lin Zijiang guessed, it seems that the eyes that are always staring at him in the dark these days are him, is it Chu Yue who asked him to monitor him?

"Usually he is always cold and doesn't like to talk. In addition, the scar on his face is terrifying, so everyone in the palace is afraid of him. I didn't expect him to help us. It seems that he is quite kind." He continued with a smile.

"Yes." Lin Zijiang agreed.Regardless of whether Li Shang was monitoring her or not, if he hadn't suddenly appeared to rescue her today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live, so I really should thank him.

"Thank you too. Actually, you don't have to help me like this today." Lin Zijiang looked at Hanxiao and said.She really didn't expect that Hanxiao would throw herself on her body to protect her, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, were all the maids in ancient times so pure and loyal?Yueqin is like this, so is Hanxiao.

"It's a servant's honor to take care of the princess. These are what a servant should do." Hanxiao said with a blushing face.

"In the past few days, you must have seen clearly my position in the palace, and there is no possibility of any future. You don't have to take care of me like this." Lin Zijiang said straightforwardly.She didn't want Hanxiao to be so loyal to her because she had too many expectations of her, after all, she wouldn't stay in the Yue Palace for long.

"The servant girl was originally just a lowly servant who was a miscellaneous thing in the palace, and she was always bullied. Now it is a blessing to be able to follow the princess and serve the princess for several generations. The servant girl doesn't want anything, and I can see that the princess is different from other masters, only you don't treat the servants as human beings. That's why the servants want to be with the princess. Please don't drive me away." Said with a smile and choked up.

Lin Zijiang just asked a casual question, but she didn't expect her to cry. Seeing that there were still many bruises on her body, she couldn't bear it.Just as she was about to comfort her, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Hanxiao hurriedly wiped away her tears, got up and went to open the door.

"Guard Li?" With a smile, he looked at the person outside the door in surprise. It was Li Shang who had rescued them before.

Lin Zijiang also got up and walked to the door when he heard the words.Sure enough, he saw Li Shang with a serious face.

Li Shang paused, took out a white porcelain bottle from his cuff and handed it to Han Xiao: "This is medicine for wounds."

"Did the prince ask you to bring it?" asked with a smile.

"My lord is not in the mansion right now... Please take care of me, my concubine. I'm taking my leave." Li Shang turned and left after finishing speaking.

"Hey..." Lin Zijiang wanted to stop him to express his thanks, but he didn't seem to hear it, and left straight away.

"What a weird person." Looking at Li Shang's back with a smile, he muttered.

"But it's okay, princess, we have the medicine." Hanxiao smiled at Lin Zijiang, holding up the white bottle.

……

It was night, Lin Zijiang paced back and forth in the room.I don't know when it started to rain outside the house, and it made a "rustling" sound on the night leaves of the sycamore tree, which made Lin Zijiang's already complicated mood even more uneasy.

Lin Zijiang thought to himself, judging from today's situation, that Xue Yuliu clearly wanted to kill him. Although he escaped today, there is no guarantee that she will not deal with him again in the future.And today Li Shang said that Chu Yue is not in the palace, so this is an excellent opportunity to leave the palace.

So the problem now is... find a way to get rid of Li Shang who was sent to monitor him.
