Hearing the commotion outside, Qin Rushuang immediately stood up, and Gu Meiren followed and walked a few steps forward, frowning and saying, "Who is making trouble outside?"
One of the two little maids who were outside had already walked in and stammered: "Yes...it's the one who has been looking for Shopkeeper Gu the past few days.
When Qin Rushuang and Gu Meiren hurried to the door of the rouge shop, the three gangsters were already lying on the ground begging for mercy.
Zhu Sha was trained in the military camp. He had extraordinary skills and brute strength. Sometimes even Zou Yuan couldn't do anything to him. Now he got really angry and knocked the three gangsters to the ground in a few strokes.
Look at the three people who had been beaten by him so badly that they couldn't even get up.
One of the gangsters pointed at Zhu Sha and said, "You! Who are you? We came to the rouge shop to buy things, why did you hit someone for no reason?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Sha's face showed a fierce look. He took two steps forward and looked at the little gangster condescendingly.
Seeing that he was about to say more, a hand suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him up.
The little gangster was not as tall as Zhu Sha, and his build was also thin. He was suddenly lifted up by Zhu Sha, his feet were off the ground, and his collar was tightly stuck around his neck, and he could not even speak.
"Who do you think I am, young master? If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, and if you dare to come to this rouge shop again, I will beat you every time I see you!"
The gangster on the side stretched out his finger and stammered: "I...I recognize you! I know who you are! You are the deputy general under King Huai! General Zhu Sha!"
"The official is beating someone! Come on, come and see, the official is beating someone!"
Seeing more and more people surrounding him, Qin Rushuang frowned and took a step forward to stop Zhu Sha.
"General Zhu, put him down first!"
Zhu Sha originally had an angry look on his face, but when he saw Qin Rushuang and Gu Meiren behind him, he immediately let go of his hand.
The little bastard fell to the ground and coughed violently.
He seemed to be unwilling, and after coughing a few times, he pointed at Zhu Sha and said, "Okay, we just came to shopkeeper Gu of this rouge shop to ask about this rouge. General Zhu Sha, you are so
What are you doing when you are so angry?!"
At this moment, a commoner in the crowd suddenly whispered, "Ah... is this actually General Zhu Sha? I have seen him hanging around outside this rouge shop for several days. I thought he was an ordinary man.
, I fell in love with the little maid in this rouge shop, how...how..."
A clever woman on the side immediately grabbed her man and cursed: "Why do you dare to say anything! Shopkeeper Gu of Rouge Shop is the concubine of King Huai! What are you talking nonsense! Shut up!"
"
But people are like this. The more they are not allowed to say anything, the more curious they become about something. After hearing the conversation between these two people, many people around them began to whisper.
Qin Rushuang finally understood what these three people were doing.
Someone must have known that Zhu Sha was in love with King Huai's concubine, so he came here to cause trouble.
Qin Rushuang said: "I am the concubine of Prince Huai's palace. What I am talking about is nothing but nonsense. Don't talk nonsense. I will cover the medical expenses for the three of you. Don't blame me if you appear outside this rouge shop in the future.
You're welcome!"
The people around were talking in low voices. Seeing that they had achieved their goal, the three picked up the silver coins Qin Rushuang threw on the ground, turned around and ran away.
Zhu Sha still wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Qin Rushuang, who said with a stern face, "Come in."
Zhu Sha lowered his head and followed the two of them to the room behind the rouge shop.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why are you so impulsive? You just take action when someone provokes you. Do you know that today you are on the street, in front of so many people, if those three people go to the government to sue you?
That’s right, do you still want this official position?!”
Qin Rushuang told the truth.
In this Kyoto, under the emperor's feet, the most taboo thing for an official is to blatantly bully the people. If those officials find out, impeachment will be a one-on-one decision.
Now is the most critical moment for Xie Xun to seize the throne. She is nervous every day. She didn't expect that something like this would happen here today!
Zhu Sha lowered his head. When he heard Qin Rushuang's words, he immediately lowered his eyes and admitted his mistake, "I was wrong about the princess! But...but they said that Gu Meiren is not good, and I really can't stand to listen."
"Then you can beat people in the street?!"
Qin Rushuang hated the iron and said: "How many pairs of eyes are staring at Prince Huai's Mansion now. Even if you make a little mistake, you will be caught. It would be better for you to do it in the street. Even if you wait for them to leave, you will
Why did they block him in an alley and beat him up?!"
"Yes, I was wrong, Princess, but I...I just couldn't help it..."
When Qin Rushuang heard this, she sighed and glanced at Gu Meiren, who was silent behind her.
She knew that Gu Meiren was also embarrassed here, so she waved her hand and said to Zhu Sha, "You have to tell the prince about this matter in advance and say hello to the officials you are familiar with. If there is an official who impeaches you tomorrow, I really want to think of countermeasures.
"
She turned to Gu Meiren and said, "I will take him back to the palace first. You should be more careful these days. If someone comes to make trouble again, you don't have to come forward and go directly to Prince Huai's palace to invite someone."
Gu Meiren whispered, "I understand, Princess."
Qin Rushuang took Zhu Sha back to Prince Huai's Mansion, but Zhu Sha was silent all the way.
It wasn't until he reached the door of Prince Huai's Mansion that he said: "Princess, did I get into a lot of trouble today? If there are officials who really want to impeach me tomorrow, please let the prince not protect me, but let them impeach me."
As long as you are a good person, please don't bring trouble to the prince and Prince Huai's palace."
Qin Rushuang frowned and rubbed her temples, and said in a low voice, "If they just want to impeach you for beating someone in the street, that's fine. They were the ones who provoked you in the first place, and the confusion will be over. What I'm afraid of is the other thing."
thing."
Zhu Sha was at a loss and couldn't figure out the twists and turns inside, so he whispered, "What else is going on? Do those three people have some special status and background? I can't afford to offend them? I can't even look at it.
Looks like it."
"And they talk so much that they deserve to be beaten. How can I bear it?"
"They were deliberately provoking you with their words, but you were lucky enough to be fooled all of a sudden."
While the two were talking, Xie Xun walked out, saw Zhu Sha following behind, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Rushuang told him what happened at Rouge Shop in a few words, her face a little gloomy.
"My lord, I'm afraid this incident is about you and Zhu Sha. Someone wants to make a fuss about the relationship between Zhu Sha and Gu Mei and Gu Meiren."
"I'm afraid it's to provoke the relationship between you and Zhu Sha."
"Let's go to the study and talk."
After arriving in the study, Zhu Sha felt that he had caused trouble and sat aside without daring to speak.
Qin Rushuang expressed her guess.
"Now the battle for the right to inherit the throne has been put on the table, and your greatest help, Your Majesty, is these lieutenants under you. I am afraid that some people do not want to see that you and these lieutenants are as close as brothers, and want to use women to drive a wedge between them.
