Hearing this, Shen Zhiyi seemed to have taken reassurance and gradually loosened his grip on the quilt.
Jiang Yubai was seriously injured. After taking the medicine, he sat on the soft couch next to her and watched over her. The princess refused to leave no matter what, and stayed here to take care of them.
"Princess, please rest early. I dare not trouble the princess."
"No trouble, no trouble, it's what I, a princess, should do to take care of the heroes and heroines."
Otherwise, the title of princess will be in vain.
Every time they went into battle to kill the enemy, the soldiers risked their lives. As a princess, she felt ashamed for not fighting side by side with the soldiers. It was all the credit of the soldiers that she could stay in the capital with peace of mind. The Shen family was full of loyalty and made great achievements on the battlefield, bringing peace to the world.
When Shen Zhiyi saw the princess' appearance, her eyes turned red...
In her previous life, she had assisted Xie Shaoheng in ascending the throne for only half a year, but the princess died tragically at her residence. Xie Yu, who was far away in the imperial mausoleum, luckily escaped death. If she hadn't insisted on marrying Xie Shaoheng, and those sweet words had made her obsessed, she wouldn't have lost so many lives in vain.
The princess pulled the quilt over her body, wrapped her whole body, and said softly: "Sister Shen, don't catch a cold."
"I asked my servants to boil some hot water. It's not too late for you to go back after you've had a lot of fun in the princess' mansion. General Shen already knows that you are in my mansion, so don't worry."
Everything was arranged properly, but Shen Zhiyi was a little at a loss. She was alone for many times and was not used to being taken care of.
"Thank you princess."
The princess has never liked conventional etiquette. Since you have entered the princess's house, you are one of your own, so there is no need to be so polite.
"I am a princess, and it is an honor to take care of the female members of the hero's family."
The princess wore a light blue cross-neck skirt embroidered with wind chimes, tied up with a neat ponytail, and wristbands were tied on her wrists, but it could not stop her whole person's gentle temperament, like a swaying tree on the snow. Bouquet, firm and gentle.
Thinking of her last life, she accidentally bumped into the princess at a banquet. The black fox fur was draped on the princess. Her whole body was cold and noble, like a black crow haunting the gloomy night. The terrifying and cold look emanating from her eyes, there was no They were half blood-red, and just looking at each other made Shen Zhiyi tremble with fear.
Now it seems that I may have been dazzled.
"You have some wounds on your body. I have applied medicine for you. It is difficult to walk on the road at night in the mountains, so you should be careful in the future. The wounds on your body will probably heal in a few days. During this period, you should avoid eating anything. It's better." Hurry up."
"The Shen family is highly respected, and there is no guarantee that no one will get jealous. Don't go out alone in the future. It's always better to ask some servants to accompany you." She felt a chill running down her spine, and slowly raised her head to look at Jiang Yubai, "Speaking of which , when Jiang Yubai brought you back, I thought he had caused some trouble outside again."
Jiang Yubai glanced at Xie Yuan with stern eyes, "If you talk nonsense again, I will pull out your tongue."
Regardless of his threats, Xie Yuancai opened up a conversation and told Shen Zhiyi: "Don't be afraid of him. He just has an iceberg face, but he is actually a good person. After all these years, Governor Jiang is the only one who is willing to talk to me."
"After I was kicked out of the palace by my father, I didn't even have anyone to talk to. Even the maid next to me was mute."
This was her punishment for killing her mother.
"If you are willing, you can come when you are free. The day you come, I will be happy."
The warm sun has risen outside the window, and the moment the sunshine shines down, all the haze dissipates along with yesterday. Jiang Yubai held his face slightly with the back of his hands and leaned on the soft couch. The tea brought to him by the maid next to him was still steaming.
Shen Zhiyi saw that several scars on her body had been bandaged and tied with cute bows, and asked tentatively: "Princess, have you studied medicine?"
For a moment, the princess didn't know whether she could reply truthfully, so she said vaguely: "Well... I have learned a little bit."
Jiang Yubai: "She is a direct disciple of the mad doctor, and the medicine hidden in the hairpin on your head was made by the same person. The princess and I are also from the same sect. Since I have saved you, I will not take your life. You have saved I will give me the medicine. If you run into trouble in the future, you can come to my house to find me."
These words brought Shen Zhiyi's vague memories back to her mind. When she recalled the time she stayed in the palace as a child, she heard people talking about this princess, saying that both brother and sister were a monster and a scourge, killing each other as soon as they were born. his own mother.
The emperor never allowed them to leave the backyard, and she didn't see much of the princess. The princess was frail and sick since she was a child and was raised in a boudoir. The imperial doctor said she could live up to three years, but she was already in her prime.
"Is the princess feeling better?"
She has earned every day she lives for twelve years.
"Every year on March 3rd, my father would invite Taoist priests to perform rituals at my house to pray for blessings and prevent disasters. However, he never came to see me in the house. She could only stay alone in the house even during the Si Festival. inside."
She was like an unloved canary kept in a cage. She was made of fine gold wire to create an airtight cage, imprisoning her in this short life.
She wouldn't survive anyway, so she didn't care.
Shen Zhiyi was a little surprised and grabbed her hand, "This year's Shangsi Festival, I will take you out."
"good."
She answered very quickly, like a straw she was desperately holding on to when falling off a cliff. A glimmer of light caught the dark road. When the princess smiled, her eyes were like crescent moons hanging in the air, curved, and it seemed as if there was an endless world hidden in the depths of her eyes. of tenderness.
Princess Yongan...what a wonderful person.
The rising sun shone on her eyes, and Shen Zhiyi woke up suddenly. She hadn't returned home all night, and the Shen family might have been in chaos.
"Thank you, Governor Jiang, and Her Royal Highness the Princess for taking care of me. At this time, it's time for me to return home."
"General Shen just returned to the court with his troops yesterday. He will go to Hajj to see His Majesty today. It won't be too late for you to go back later."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhiyi was so frightened that she rolled off the bed. If things went according to the trajectory of her last life, her father and brother would propose for her today. Everyone knew that she had admired Prince Xie for a long time, and she must not marry again. he!
no! She has to rush over! She wants to prevent this tragedy!
Shen Zhiyi grabbed his sleeve and looked at him pleadingly, her peach blossom eyes filled with water, "Please, Lord Governor, take me into the palace."
This was the first time Jiang Yubai saw her so anxious and looking at him with such eyes.
Is this woman, moody, crazy?
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Xie Shaoheng had repeatedly hinted to her that if she insisted on marrying him, and cried and begged her father and brother, they would always find a way. If the Shen family father and son used their military exploits to reward His Majesty, His Majesty would definitely marry her to him.
The day before General Shen returned to court, he specially invited Shen Zhiyi out to teach her how to behave with her father and brother and how to threaten them with her life.
The naive Shen Zhiyi thought that something great was happening to her. Her beloved Xie Shaoheng was devoted to her until death and she had to do it. She was foolishly immersed in the fantasy of "happiness" without thinking about the Shen family's situation.
Emperors since ancient times have hated marriages between noble families. The forces are intertwined. The Shen family has such a high voice in the hearts of the people, and its masters should be low-key and cautious. If the Shen family's legitimate daughter marries the prince, this force will definitely stir up the situation.
The emperor will also be afraid.
Who in the capital doesn't know that she, Shen Zhiyi, must be Xie Shaoheng. She has made trouble in public several times and used her military exploits to force marriage. How do the people in the world think of the Shen family? !
In the drama of forced marriage, Xie Shaoheng stripped himself cleanly. It was her overlord who took advantage of her, and he was the man she robbed. Xie Shaoheng pretended to be pitiful on his wedding day and refused to sleep with his bride. He was the one responsible for this. Victim of an engagement.
It's true...the emperor sighed when he saw it, and the people shook their heads.
Xie Shaoheng! You are really a good chess player!
The two of them rushed to the entrance of the palace. After dismounting, Shen Zhiyi stretched out his hand and said, "I want money."
She knew the rules. It cost money to ask for help and nothing was free.
Jiang Yubai threw a bag of broken silver at his waist to her, "Thank you, I'll lend it to you."
She didn't want to owe a favor to a scoundrel.
"My lords, I wonder if the two generals of the Shen family have come to the palace to meet the saint?"
If not, then it's still too late, and she still has room for change, as long as she stays here and guards.
"Get out! Get out! This is not where you should be!"
Shen Zhiyi grabbed two handfuls of broken silver and stuffed it into the guard's hands, and immediately changed his attitude, "Just entered, which family are you from? You can't just wander into the imperial city." He accepted the girl's money. Money, the guard Ducai reminded, "There are many female relatives who admire Mr. Shen in the capital. This is the first time that they dare to risk their lives to chase them to the imperial city."
"You dare to stop my people?"
Jiang Yubai, who was sitting on the horse, said coldly, his cold eyes could not help but give him a chill. Jiang Yubai had many entrances and exits in the palace, and the guards had long recognized him, but they did not expect that this girl would be related to Governor Jiang.
"Girl, that's disrespectful."
The guards clasped their hands in fists and said that they were about to return the money. They did not dare to accept the money of the King of Hell.
"I've long heard that the guards in the Forbidden City are tight-lipped, so I hope I'll accept it with a smile."
It turned out to be hush money. The guard looked up and saw Jiang Yubai's tacit approval, so he dared to accept it. If he dared not to accept it, he would be openly opposing this man. This man has a weird personality. Even if he has nine heads, it is not enough. cut.
Jiang Yubai reached out to hold her wrist, pulled her onto the horse, and went straight to Zichen Palace.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the red walls and yellow tiles. Each exquisite carving was of the highest quality, like a carefully carved cage that trapped the freedom of women in the harem of all dynasties. She could not help but feel a trace of sadness in her heart. In her previous life, , trapped in the square courtyard of the harem, even the imperial city is a bit unfamiliar.
Sensing that Shen Zhiyi was a little uneasy, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but lower his eyes and put his arms around her body.
"As long as I am here, I won't be able to throw you down."
At first, Shen Zhiyi was worried that being seen like this would cause trouble, but he didn't encounter a single guard along the way, and Jiang Yubai avoided them all.
He is more familiar with this imperial city than I am.
He even had a vague feeling that he was more complicated and powerful than what was rumored to be.
After getting off the horse, Shen Zhiyi rolled up the corners of her skirt and ran towards the Zichen Palace with all her might. Her palms were sweating and she didn't dare to stop for a moment.
Faster, faster.
Governor Jiang followed behind her, no one dared to stop her.
