The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 25 I promise to repay you with my body

"Your Highness, isn't this the girl Xue..."?

The guard's surprised voice sounded, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Silence." King Xuan spat out two words.

The personal guard immediately stopped his expression, closed his mouth, and quickly detoured to the entrance of the courtyard.

"Your Highness, the door is locked." The guard whispered.

King Xuan did not respond. He had already walked slowly to the wall where Xue Qingyin was lying.

He raised his head and asked in a low voice: "You want to jump down?"

Xue Qingyin: "Yes, yes, hurry up!"

As she spoke, she struggled to climb up.

However, her arms really didn't have much strength, so it would be good if she could just lie down, let alone ride on the wall and jump again.

But in an instant, his face turned red.

The fingertips holding the wall turned white.

King Xuan's eyes moved slightly and he said: "Dai Huang, come here."

The guard immediately turned around and ran back.

King Xuan stepped on his shoulder, turned over and rode on the wall.

The movement was so swift that before Xue Qingyin could react, King Xuan had already grabbed her by the collar. His fingers were tense and all the veins were visible on the back of his hand.

Then he mentioned it up.

Xue Qingyin:?

When she came to her senses, she had already been lifted to the wall.

Xue Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, His Highness King Xuan."

Then she lowered her head and looked at the bodyguard standing under the wall, and whispered: "I...jumped?"

The personal guard hurriedly said: "No, no, no! Don't jump first... I..." He said, first he raised his head to catch a glimpse of King Xuan's expression, and then said: "I'm afraid I can't catch it."

Xue Qingyin could only frown and ask, "Where can I find a ladder?"

King Xuan suddenly turned over the wall, turned around, opened his arms towards her again, and said nonchalantly: "Didn't Miss Xue want me to pick her up?"

Xue Qingyin licked her lips, somewhat embarrassed.

"I see His Highness has already jumped over the wall, why bother to go back and catch me? If I accidentally crush His Highness's arm... I won't be able to pay for it even if I die."

When King Xuan heard the sound, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the guard.

The guard was agitated and didn't know what he was thinking. He blurted out and asked: "Then if it breaks mine, wouldn't it be the same?"

Xue Qingyin thought for a while: "I can repay you with my life."

Although marrying someone like her might seem like revenge.

Beauty is present.

The guard broke out in a cold sweat.

He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I don't dare, how can I be worthy of Miss Xue?"

King Xuan interjected coldly: "If you don't come down, I will leave."

"Down, down, down!" Xue Qingyin no longer sat on the wall and chatted with others. She leaned forward and smashed down towards King Xuan without any scruples.

King Xuan caught her and held her steady.

Xue Qingyin leaned on his arm: "...it feels a bit awkward."

The muscles are pretty hard.

Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well.

King Xuan glanced at her with lowered eyes, but surprisingly he was not angry.

He felt like she was a bright splash of color.

Just like this, it is splashed thickly on the paper. It is gorgeous and smart, and it is completely impossible to ignore.

Seeing that King Xuan was not moving.

The guard asked in a low voice: "His Highness's arm...is broken?"

King Xuan let go of his hand.

Xue Qingyin also stepped firmly on the ground and took a step away obediently.

But after pulling away, she suddenly remembered again.

That’s not right!

Didn't she originally want to try to marry King Xuan?

What a great opportunity!

Xue Qingyin hurriedly reached out and pinched King Xuan's arm from top to bottom.

"...Okay, it's not broken." Xue Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief.

King Xuan tensed his muscles unnaturally, lowered his eyes and said coldly: "What's going on?"

Xue Qingyin secretly curled her lips.

It seems that he is really unfeminine.

She said hurriedly: "You should think of a way first and open the door. There is someone trapped inside."

King Xuan remembered that when he went to pick up Xue Qingyin just now, he vaguely saw her stepping on someone.

King Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

How did she save herself to this extent?

That person actually let her step on her and climb over the wall.

King Xuan said calmly: "He is a thief, why not trap him to death?"

Xue Qingyin paused for a moment, and then she felt a bit of the strong evil aura on King Xuan's body.

She raised her eyes to look at him and whispered: "The people behind this matter deserve to die, but they are just poor people who were implicated. They were unjustly sentenced to death."

Only then did King Xuan look at his guards: "Draw your sword and hack at the door."

The guard responded.

Only two "click" sounds were heard, and the door bolt fell.

The door opened easily.

The guard walked in and took a look.

The man sat dumbly on the ground with a horrified expression.

The guards quickly ran out and whispered to King Xuan, "Your Highness, he is the son of Duke Zhao."

"Zhao Xufeng?"

"It's him!"

Xue Qingyin heard Zhao Xufeng and thought that this is the full name of the big man.

"Leave it to Jinque to deal with it." King Xuan seemed indifferent.

"yes."

King Xuan turned around and said calmly: "You don't need to see me..."

Xue Qingyin was curious, why was she spared the opportunity to meet King Xuan?

Does King Xuan have any grudge against him?

"I'll take Miss Xue back to her mansion." King Xuan said.

Obviously it is no longer appropriate for Xue Qingyin to stay here any longer.

Xue Qingyin was a little confused.

Is this incident aimed at her?

But why does it seem...as if it's heading for the princess's mansion?

Or, did Concubine Wan intend to kill two birds with one stone from the beginning?

Xue Qingyin couldn't figure out the twists and turns in the middle, so she followed King Xuan out obediently.

"Mother! Mother!"

She could still vaguely hear the sobbing in the yard, the cry of an adult male.

It sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves to other people's ears.

But Xue Qingyin couldn't help but turn her head back.

King Xuan noticed her movements and asked her: "Did he offend you?"

After all, he was a fool, so it's not surprising that he did anything.

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "He is very obedient. I even suspected that he was drugged and kept shouting that he was uncomfortable."

King Xuan frowned unconsciously when he heard this.

"Then I asked him to fetch water from the well and rinse himself."

King Xuan's brows relaxed.

When did Zhao Xufeng understand what people said?

"Your Highness, please ask someone to bring him a bowl of ginger soup later."

"... Yeah."

While they were talking, they bumped into Princess Jinque who was walking hurriedly.

When Princess Jinque saw them, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work, King Xuan."

Princess Jinque is King Xuan's sister.

But the two of them don't seem to have any friendship.

Not as close as the fourth princess's "Second Brother".

The tone of King Xuan's conversation with Princess Jinque was no different from that with other people, both cold.

He said: "There is another person here. If you can't deal with him, it's easy to make enemies."

Who can be Princess Jinque's enemy?

Presumably this Zhao Xufeng is not ordinary!

Wait...

It can't be such a coincidence, is it the foolish son of Duke Zhao that my mother mentioned that day?

Xue Qingyin's heart skipped a beat.
