Yun Ruying was angry and ignored her before, but now she was finally woken up by Xiao Jue's two slaps.
She knelt on the ground and trembled that everything was her imagination and that she was making trouble unreasonably.
Xiao Jue knelt on the ground and said, "It was me who didn't take good care of the Crown Princess, which made the Crown Princess sick and implicated Princess Anshun. Father, everything is my fault. Please punish me!"
Xiao Chengye half-squinted his eyes and whispered: "Call her name in the middle of the night..."
Yun Ruying immediately said: "It's an illusion, it's my illusion. I like His Highness the Crown Prince too much, so I'm nervous. When I see His Highness the Crown Prince getting closer to a girl, I start to have random thoughts. In fact, there's nothing wrong with His Highness the Crown Prince."
, please ask Father to take a closer look."
Qin Zhen sat next to Xiao Chengye with her head lowered, and she could still hear her sobbing from time to time.
After a long while, Xiao Chengye turned his head to look at Qin Zhen and asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"
There were still tears in Qin Zhen's eyes. After being asked, she was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "I, I don't know anything..."
Xiao Chengye looked at Qin Zhen for a moment, then reached out to touch the top of her hair and said, "It doesn't matter, I will make the decision for you."
Xiao Chengye looked at the two people kneeling below and said coldly: "Since the Crown Princess is sick, she should go back to the palace to recuperate. Don't come out until she recovers."
Yun Ruying was stunned, looked up at Xiao Chengye, and shouted as if begging for mercy: "Father..."
Xiao Chengye said coldly: "Xiao Jue, arrange for someone to send the Crown Princess back immediately."
Xiao Jue gritted his teeth and responded in a low voice.
Xiao Chengye added: "What happened today happened because of you. You also went back to the palace with the Crown Princess and closed your door to think about your mistakes."
Xiao Jue was really anxious now and said quickly: "Father, how can this be done? I still have many things to deal with, I..."
"Put down what you are doing. If you really need to deal with it, pass it on to Xiao Yao." Xiao Chengye said calmly: "Let Xiao Yao handle it for you."
Xiao Jue: "..."
Xiao Jue wanted to say something else, but looking at Xiao Chengye's cold eyes, Xiao Jue did not dare to say another word to anger Xiao Chengye.
After a while, Xiao Jue whispered: "My son, I obey the order."
After both of them went out, Xiao Chengye turned to Qin Zhen and said, "Look, are you satisfied with how I handled it?"
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and asked cautiously: "The Crown Princess...she won't let anyone kill me again, right?"
Xiao Chengye was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "No, don't worry."
After a pause, he looked up at Qin Hong who was standing aside, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Qin Hong, you are still the commander of the Forbidden Army, with thousands of people in charge, but you can't choose one to protect your daughter?
"
Qin Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But this is against the rules."
What he has under his command is the imperial army, not private soldiers.
Xiao Chengye glared at him: "What if this happens again, and there is no one around her to protect her, and something happens?"
Qin Hong: "...What does your Majesty mean?"
Xiao Chengye: "Find two skilled people to accompany Zhen Zhen. The princess, who is a dignified princess, doesn't even have any followers. If you tell me, people will laugh."
Qin Hong touched his head and muttered: "I am in the military camp all day long and don't pay much attention to my family."
Xiao Chengye: "Are you still embarrassed to say that?"
Qin Hong shut up and said nothing.
Xiao Chengye turned around and comforted Qin Zhen a few more words, and then asked Gao Cheng to send Qin Zhen back in person.
Qin Zhen opened the tent and entered the door, and saw someone already waiting in the room.
Qin Zhen glanced at Lou Yan, walked over, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.
After drinking, he looked at Lou Yan: "Did you call the prince here?"
Lou Yan said coldly: "I'm afraid you will be beaten to death by the Crown Princess."
Qin Zhen sneered: "Just her?"
Lou Yan's face darkened and his tone was very bad: "If the prince hadn't arrived in time, you would have been injured even if you weren't beaten to death. Have you never thought about the consequences if you didn't escape?
?Even if she suffered retribution in the end, what about your injuries?"
Lou Yan rarely spoke so harshly.
Facing Lou Yan like this, Qin Zhen felt inexplicably guilty.
She pursed her lips and whispered: "This time it was an accident."
Who would have thought that Xiao Jue, that beast, would call her name in her dream, and that the Crown Princess would hear her?
Lou Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Before you did those things, you should have thought of the consequences."
Qin Zhen's eyes instantly turned cold.
"So what?" Qin Zhen's tone was already a little cold, and she said coldly: "Even if I know the consequences, I will do it."
Lou Yan: "..."
He discovered that Qin Zhen was usually very normal and easy to talk about anything.
But once it comes to the prince's affairs, she will become particularly extreme.
Lou Yan also secretly investigated to find out what kind of conflict there was between Xiao Jue and Qin Zhen that made Qin Zhen hate Xiao Jue so much.
But after searching again and again, nothing could be found.
Lou Yan didn't understand where Qin Zhen's deep hatred for Xiao Jue came from.
He wanted to persuade him, but he would definitely get a strong backlash from Qin Zhen.
Lou Yan was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't be angry."
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lou Yan sighed and said, "I'm just worried about you."
As soon as Lou Yan said this, Qin Zhen's anger dissipated instantly.
She muttered: "I'm fine."
Lou Yan looked at her and suddenly said: "You have no one to take care of you. How about I pick a few people to take care of you?"
Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows, and then said: "No need, your Majesty just sent a message, asking my father to pick a few people to come and protect me."
Lou Yan nodded, then frowned: "We are all men, and some things are always inconvenient."
Yan Yu used to take care of Qin Zhen, but now that Yan Yu has been sent to the East Palace, Qin Zhen has no one to take care of her. This time she came to Qiu Lie alone, without even a maid.
Lou Yan thought for a while and then said: "I have a girl over there named Manman. She doesn't talk much and is very smart. How about I do it for you?"
Qin Zhen: "..."
Lou Yan looked at her for a moment, then asked: "Don't believe me?"
Qin Zhen shook her head subconsciously; "I don't believe you."
A smile flashed in Lou Yan's eyes, he nodded and said, "That's it, I'll ask Manman to come over later."
When the conversation came to this point, Qin Zhen couldn't refuse and nodded.
Lou Yan stood up. Qin Zhen thought he was leaving, but she saw Lou Yan walking in front of her in a few steps.
Qin Zhen was stunned and looked up at him: "What are you doing?"
Lou Yan looked straight into Qin Zhen's eyes. After a while, he raised his hand and gently touched Qin Zhen's eyes, and said with a sigh: "They are all swollen."
Qin Zhen: "..."
Her heart pounded and exploded into a firework.
For a moment, Qin Zhen's mind went blank. She could hear nothing, see nothing, and couldn't think.
Lou Yan slowly took back his hand and whispered: "Have a good rest."
Then Shi Shiran turned around and walked away, leaving Qin Zhen alone in a daze.
