Recently, there is a rumor circulating in Shengjing that the prince of the current dynasty was assassinated and was rescued by a Jianghu woman. In order to repay his kindness, Prince Ye Hengyan (heng) invited the woman into the prince's palace and prepared to take her as a concubine. I was having trouble with the prince over this matter.
The rumor that there is a nose and eyes, as if it was experienced personally, was widely circulated in Shengjing, and the protagonist of the rumor, Lianyi, did indeed live in the Prince's Mansion at this time, but the person who surrounded her was not the Prince, but the Prince. It's the Crown Princess.
Because Lianyi rescued the princess instead of the prince from the beginning, it was only misunderstood by someone who was interested, and then it became the version circulating now.
Lianyi gently waved the fan in her hand and said to the dignified woman peeling grape skins at the side:
“Junwan, please clarify this for me, I don’t want to spread rumors with your man. .”
After hearing this, Zhuang Junwan glanced at the ripples angrily, continued to peel the grapes in his hands, and said lightly:
"It's not that Junwan doesn't want to clarify, it's just that even if he clarifies, some people think that he The concubine was instructed by the prince, and then went all out to slander the prince. Instead of doing this, it would be better to do nothing and see what kind of trouble they will bring. "
After hearing this, Lianyi rolled her eyes in her heart, but. She didn't want to spread scandals with the prince. She only used this method to sneak into Shengjing to find the evil god's clone. Unexpectedly, she happened to encounter the prince's concubine Zhuang Junwan and was assassinated.
That day, she was riding a whirlwind and walking unsteadily on the road to Shengjing. When passing by a green gauze tent, she heard the collision of knife tips and screams of pain. She discovered with a sweep of her consciousness Zhuang Junwan and his entourage.
It was just that Zhuang Junwan was a little embarrassed at that time, with messy buns and pale face. She was holding a long sword in her hand and was retreating out of the green gauze tent under the protection of her guards. However, the masked man who besieged them was Not intending to let them go, he attacked the guards fatally.
Ripple saw the dragon energy in Zhuang Junwan that was so weak that she was sure that this woman was connected to the royal family. Even if she was not a princess, she would be able to get close to the royal family, so she held the flower that transformed into a red whip. When Duo saw an injustice on the road, he drew his sword to help and rescued Zhuang Junwan from the hands of the masked man.
Lianyi has always been very cautious in doing things. In order not to be suspected, she did not kill all the masked men. She just knocked them out with a whip and left the rest to the people of the Prince's Mansion. .
Because of Lianyi's behavior, Zhuang Junwan recognized her. He took off the auspicious cloud jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Lianyi on the spot, and asked Lianyi to escort her back to Shengjing.
This jade pendant is a symbol of status and represents that the banker owes her a favor. As long as it does not violate morality, the banker will be satisfied.
Looking at Zhuang Junwan, who was embarrassed but not panicked, Lianyi still admired such a woman. After all, she had just walked around the gate of hell, and he could calmly bribe her as a helper.
Moreover, escorting the other party into Shengjing did not conflict with her destination, so she readily accepted the other party's invitation, and as Zhuang Junwan's personal bodyguard, escorted her all the way back to the Prince's Mansion.
Prince Ye Hengyan has received the news. He had already ordered all the troops to rescue his wife, but before he left the prince's residence, someone came back to report that the prince had been rescued by a female knight. , was escorting the Crown Princess back at this time, asking him to wait in the mansion with peace of mind.
After the prince confirmed that the news was accurate, he waited anxiously in the prince's house. It wasn't that he didn't care about Junwan, it was just because he was the prince, but the position of the prince was not stable. Several adult brothers Everyone is eyeing the position of the prince and hoping that he will make mistakes, so he cannot make a wrong step.
Zhuang Junwan is the eldest daughter of the then Prime Minister Zhuang Qing. Their marriage is considered a powerful alliance. If something happens to Zhuang Junwan, not only will Prime Minister Zhuang feel resentful towards him, but also indirectly This weakened the prince's strength, so it was the prince who was most worried about something happening to Zhuang Junwan.
When the prince saw the intact Zhuang Junwan, the stone in his heart fell to the ground. He turned around to thank Lianyi and asked Lianyi what he wanted.
Before Lianyi could even speak, Zhuang Junwan said:
"Your Highness, you must be aware of what happened to my concubine today. I don’t know how many people are looking forward to something happening to the prince and my concubine. This The first time I met the Honglan Heroine, how many other Honglan Heroines can save me? "
The prince was not stupid and immediately understood what Junwan meant, so he was willing to pay a lot of money to help me. Lianyi protects Zhuang Junwan personally. Lianyi smiled slightly and said:
"My name is Honglan, and people in the world give me the title of 'Rakshasa Girl'. If the prince and the princess want to invite me, they'd better know about me first. If you don't mind, Of course I have no problem.”
Then Ripple temporarily stayed in the guest courtyard of the Prince's Mansion instead of entering the backyard of the Prince's Mansion. Because of Ripple's gender, rumors spread.
Although the royal family was not involved in Jianghu affairs, they did know something about Jianghu and had heard about Lianyi's name. After reading the investigation results, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess decisively asked Lianyi to protect the Crown Princess personally.
In fact, when Lianyi saw the prince, he planned to stay close to the two of them, because the prince's face was very strange. He was obviously destined to be rich and respected, but now he was covered by dark clouds, and he was still With a trend of early death, it was obvious that something had interfered with the prince's destiny.
And something that can change a person's life in a short period of time is definitely not a good thing, so Ripple moved into the Prince's Mansion.
Also because Lianyi is from the Jianghu community, he does not stick to trivial matters and is not involved with any forces around them, so Zhuang Junwan is very willing to stay with Lianyi and chat.
Regarding the rumors about Ripples, the manager of the Crown Prince's Mansion came to tell the Crown Princess specifically, so that was the reason for the initial conversation between the two.
"Honglan, eat grapes and don't pay attention to those rumors."
Zhuang Junwan put the peeled grapes on a white porcelain plate and gently pushed them in front of Ripples.
Lianyi nodded and smiled, and then said:
"To be courteous for nothing is to commit adultery or theft, tell me! What else is going on?"
Zhuang Junwan sighed helplessly:
"The Empress Dowager's sixtieth birthday will be in two days. The Emperor wants to make a grand event. The Prince and I must attend then, and I have to trouble you to follow us into the palace."
After hearing this, Lianyi said clearly:
“I see, this environment is often the easiest to be plotted by others. Those who want to take action against you will definitely not let go of this opportunity. "
Zhuang Junwan nodded and said:
"It's true. It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows, so Honglan must follow me every step of the way."
"I understand, and I promise to make sure that you and the prince come back in full force. "
Lianyi smiled and assured that this time she was really sleepy and waiting for a pillow, and she could just go into the palace to check openly.
Because of the existence of Bai Wen, the national master, she suspected that something might have gone wrong in the palace, so she took this opportunity to investigate. As long as they entered the palace, Duoduo and Xuanfeng would be able to show their talents. She I want to see where the evil god's clone is hidden. (End of this chapter)
