Second-hand lady

Chapter 23

It was probably because seeing how pitiful the second prince was being collapsed by some bastard, Wen Liang, who watched for a while, finally coughed to remind himself of his existence.

The eldest princess and the second prince looked at the same time, and when they saw the man walking slowly in the moonlight not far ahead, tears filled their eyes.The man's eyebrows and eyes were flawless, and his smile was warm and gentle. Because of his appearance, the palace that was supposed to be cold and gloomy changed the whole world. Even the pale moonlight became holy, and the soft moonlight sprinkled on him. Her body was as dreamy and beautiful as the silvery white moonlight when the raging tide receded, without any blemish.

While they were in a daze, Wen Liang had already approached, first glanced lightly at the "ghost" who was stepped on by his second-hand lady, saw her quickly moved away after seeing her sight, and stood upright with the whole skirt Well, with a respectful and virtuous appearance, a smile could not help but glide across his eyes, and then he looked at the second prince and eldest princess who shouldn't be here at this time, and they didn't bring a single palace servant with them.

The Eldest Princess and the Second Prince's eyes also moved with him. When they saw someone who was so fierce and slaying ghosts just now, they lowered their eyebrows trustingly and looked like a virtuous person, their faces were covered with black lines, and they twitched terribly.

And because Miss Rucui let go of her foot, the "ghost" also took the opportunity to struggle to escape, and Shangxi behind, needless to say, jumped up and grabbed his hand, subduing him easily.

"I have seen the eldest princess and the second prince before." Wen Liang saluted, and his sparkling peach eyes were instantly sharp, and asked: "The night is dark, I don't know where the eldest princess and the second prince are here? The palace servants who are waiting by your side Woolen cloth?"

The eldest princess and the second prince's heart skipped a beat, and they also remembered why Wen Liang was here?Wasn't he called away by the First Prince's people?Facing those cold peach blossom eyes, both of them felt their scalps go numb.

Although the eldest princess is the most favored by the queen mother in the palace, she is also raised by the queen mother very innocently and unscrupulously. She is usually spoiled at most, but because the emperor disciplines their children strictly, the so-called pampering is within the range that people can bear Inside.

Because of the queen mother's previous arrangement, she firmly thought that she would marry Wen Liang. Ever since she secretly met Wen Liang in the palace, the girl secretly agreed with her heart.How happy he was at that time, how sad and sad he was when he found out that he had married a maid, and even gave birth to a wave of dissatisfaction, which is why tonight's incident happened.But after all, she had never looked at him so closely, and her whereabouts were exposed at this time, as if she had done something wrong, which made her speechless. She could only bear the pain from the ankle with a pale face and stubbornly remained silent. .

Seeing that the eldest princess had lost her mind at this moment, the second prince frowned slightly. He calmed down and said reluctantly, "This prince asked the imperial sister to come out to enjoy the moon. Hearing strange noises, he came over to have a look. Those palace people It's very annoying, I don't want people to disturb you, so I asked them to wait not far outside Zhao'an Hall."

The eldest princess nodded quickly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wen Liang's face, and her heart couldn't help beating again.

Although the reason was far-fetched, Wen Liang did not expose it. He turned his eyes around them, then turned to the second prince's face, and asked in surprise: "What happened? Second prince, your face..."

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes shifted to the second prince's face, only to see that there was a red and swollen scratch on that handsome face, with traces of blood running down faintly, which looked a little shocking under the pale moonlight.

"Second brother, your face is injured." The eldest princess was taken aback, "Could it be that you got scratched when you fell down just now?"

Hearing what the second princess said, the second prince looked at a certain culprit—Miss Rucui.

After finishing speaking, the eldest princess couldn't help but look around, and saw Miss Rucui looking back at them innocently, and then said to her husband: "Miss Wen, I didn't mean it. I don't know where this place is, it's dark , and ghosts, we were all frightened, so we had no choice but to run away in a panic, but who knew that the eldest princess and the second prince would have such elegance to come to this place to enjoy the moon today. Sure enough, the royal princess and the prince are different from ordinary people like us. Elegance is different, so I ran too fast and couldn't see the way, so I accidentally bumped into them. The second prince and the eldest princess, please forgive me." Said, stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"..."

The Eldest Princess and the Second Prince blushed and were speechless.After all, I am a little tender, I just feel that someone is simply satirizing their "elegance" to choose such a haunted place to watch the moon.Although he was angry in his heart, the other party looked respectful. Their sudden appearance here already made people suspicious. If they directly challenged and reprimanded them, wouldn't they tell Wen Liang that today's matter has something to do with them?
Wen Liang nodded to express his understanding, and said: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Eldest princess and second prince, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of Zhuo Jing. Please forgive her for her unintentional actions."

Wen Liang is the teacher of the prince appointed by the emperor, and will be the teacher of the emperor in the future. In ancient times, "a teacher for one day and a father for life" was emphasized in ancient times. Disciples serve as teachers and respect the same as their father. The gentleman must also be respectful.In addition, Wen Liang is full of talent and has made great achievements on the battlefield, and he is favored by the emperor. The princes dare not be rude to him. Seeing him lower his figure at this time, how dare the second prince say no.

Therefore, the two were very depressed, but they could only swallow the pain. It is estimated that if their father knew about this matter, they would have to find a way to get over it.

After solving this matter, Wen Liang looked at the "ghost" who was being suppressed by Shang Xi again.Wen Liang sneered in his heart, if he said it was a "ghost" or something, he wouldn't believe a word, but would rather believe that someone made something to deal with him, and probably didn't want to do too much, that's why people Pretend to be a ghost to scare people.And if his wife was frightened in the palace, and if there were any bad rumors, it would definitely be his girl who suffered in the end.

Wen Liang walked over and said coldly: "Shang Xi, let him go."

When Shang Xi let go, the man wanted to escape again, but Wen Liang stepped on his shoulder and kicked him away. His whole body hit the pillar beside him hard, and he fell to the ground with a muffled groan, unable to escape anymore.

It was probably the first time to see such a violent action by a man who has been praised by the world for chasing sticks. All the people present were so scared that their eyes widened.

Wen Liang put his hands behind his back, and the night wind lifted his long black hair, and his clothes fluttered.Ru Cui glanced at him, feeling that he was not in a good mood, she couldn't help but rubbed over, and asked in a low voice, "Master Wen, does your foot hurt?"

Wen Liang looked at her.

Miss Rucui felt that he was in a bad mood, so she said considerately: "You don't need to spend so much effort, just step on his legs and he won't run away, and it doesn't take much effort. Your feet hurt Right? When I go back, I'll have someone boil hot water for you to make bubbles and it won't hurt anymore." She had the expression of a loyal dog.

"..."

The second prince once again felt pain in his chest, roaring in his heart: This is so cruel, if all women are such creatures, he will never marry the princess in the future!

Shang Xi lowered his head and moved his feet.

Seeing someone wanted to say something, Wen Liang rubbed his forehead and put his hands on her shoulders, and said softly: "Girl, you are really likable when you are not talking." If there is no one here, you must stop it Her mouth really makes a man feel so embarrassed.

"...Okay, I'll shut up." Miss Rucui smacked her lips and said regretfully.

With a blank face, Wen Liang decided to ignore her and asked Shang Xi to check on the man in white.

Shang Xi checked it quickly, and said to Wen Liang: "My lord, he is a eunuch in the palace, but I don't know which palace he is from."

"Ehhhhhhhhhhh—eunuch? Isn't it a ghost?" Miss Rucui was surprised, then looked at the man curled up on the ground, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that eunuchs can also hurt! I understand, eunuchs are also men!"

Hearing her words, everyone's mood was very delicate, and they all clenched their fists and roared in their hearts: Is your "understand" expression so magical?Even if it's a eunuch, it will hurt to be injured like this, right?Don't compare creatures like eunuchs with normal men, okay?

Wen Liang and the second prince glared at someone with blood on their faces, ouch, my stomach hurts!
"Okay, Eldest Princess and Second Prince, I've surprised you, this eunuch pretending to be a ghost, I'll let you take him down immediately and hand him over to the palace guards for interrogation." Then he ordered Shang Xi to take him down.The eunuch was hit by Wen Liang's kick and hit the pillar, and suffered serious internal injuries. At this time, he had no strength left to resist, and Shang Xi twisted and pushed him down.

The Eldest Princess and the Second Prince didn't respond, they just silently watched Wen Liang make his own decisions, and couldn't get the words out of their mouths a few times.And Wen Liang didn't personally deal with it now, and because it was late at night, he was a foreign minister and couldn't stay in the palace. In addition, the eldest princess and the second prince were both injured. No matter how they calm things down, this matter will definitely reach the ears of the emperor and queen mother. Here, Wen Liang didn't want to rush up to get in trouble, so it's better to leave this matter to the people in the palace.

Moreover, although Zhao'an Palace is usually not populated, there are still guards patrolling here at night, but since they haven't seen the guards coming, they know that there is a serious problem.Wen Liang also wanted to pick Ru Cui out, so the queen mother couldn't make excuses to make trouble.

After the people left, Wen Liang said again: "Eldest Princess, Second Prince, I will ask someone to send you back to rest."

The eldest princess and the second prince looked at each other and reluctantly nodded.Wen Liang ordered again, let Rucui and Tsing Yi help the eldest princess with injured feet to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion beside her, then went outside Zhao'an Palace to find the palace servants who would serve the two princes and daughters.

Finally, the eldest princess and the second prince were handed over to the palace servants who had been found, and Wen Liang also left with Rucui.

Before going out to Nangong Gate, Shangxi came back.Shang Xi approached Wen Liang and whispered, "My lord, that eunuch is dead."

Wen Liang's footsteps paused slightly, and he continued to move forward without changing his expression until he left the Nangong Gate. On the square in front of the palace gate, there was only one carriage parked there alone.

Wen Liang let Ru Cui get into the car first, then Fang looked at Shang Xi and asked coldly, "How did you die?"

Shang Xi lowered his waist and said guiltily: "When this subordinate originally escorted the eunuch out of Zhao'an Palace, he met Captain Gao from the Northern Camp. He wanted to hand him over to Guard Gao, but who knew that the eunuch took the opportunity to break free. , Hit his head against a pillar and died. This subordinate is not doing his job well, please be punished by your lord."

Wen Liang's face was gloomy. At this time, no one was as calm and elegant as before. It was not until the curtains of the carriage were lifted, and a happy smiling face appeared, that he returned to his usual appearance. abundant.

"Master Wen, let's go home." Miss Rucui said, knocking on the car window.

Wen Liang responded with a smile, and said to Shang Xi: "Go back to the mansion first."

"Yes."

After Wen Liang got into the carriage, Shang Xi and Qing Yi sat in the driver's seat, and slowly drove the carriage away from the palace.
