The guard stood sideways, and then she saw clearly that there was a well-placed tear mole in the corner of his left eye. This man had unstandardized long peach blossom eyes, and the folds of his double eyelids were looming. The tear mole was incompatible with this person.
The person's unruly temperament is opposite to his charming eyes.
He lowered his eyes and sneered: "If you weren't afraid of being implicated, you wouldn't have saved my life!"
"That's considered a rescue. Do you want to be ungrateful?" Chu Yunjing asked, his bright eyes flashing in the light from the door and window, fixed on the guard.
The guard turned to face her clear and longing eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why pay it back?"
She pursed her lips and thought for a while: "Well... tell me your identity first."
"The last guard of the Forbidden Army, Zhou Yang!" He faced Chu Yunjing, and the light shone on the side of his face.
What she is most curious about at the moment is the identity of this guard. There are many officials and officials in the Forbidden Army who come to train as leaders. Judging from his style, he is not afraid of anything like the style of the young master. If someone's young master offends Ning,
Ruoshui, then she also wants to be under his command.
But he is a low-level bodyguard? You are not mistaken! A low-level bodyguard recruited from the private sector? How can he be so arrogant? If you take one step forward, he will take two steps forward, but there is no one in the family, so you are not afraid of being implicated?
She asked: "Second guard...have you offended anyone?"
"Never!" replied without any hesitation.
Chu Yunjing's tone was sarcastic: "Impossible! With your temper...don't you know what powerful person you have offended? For example, a certain arrogant princess?" He asked seriously.
Zhou Yang lowered his eyes again and thought for a moment: "Arrogant? Princess? Are you talking about yourself?"
How could he be connected with her? She was obviously that poisonous woman Ning Ruoshui. A low-class guard could only guard the gates of various palaces on weekdays. How could he know his identity? This guard is definitely not simple. As you can see
The temperament is generally unfathomable.
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world! I am ashamed of myself! You know the empress in the palace very clearly. Have you guessed the identity of my princess?"
With her hair in a woman's bun and rich clothes, gold hairpins and hairpins, she was walking in the palace. It was difficult not to be guessed by others. Besides, he had already figured out the powerful people in the palace. The eighteen or nineteen-year-old empress
There is only Princess Qi.
"There is only one empress and princess of your age, Princess Qi. What's more, your appearance just now is obviously unfashionable..." There is no such thing as a man and a woman...
Zhou Yang's words stopped abruptly and he lowered his head in embarrassment. If he continued to speak, it would seem frivolous. He just couldn't treat this woman just now. He was standing guard in front of the Tai Chi Hall today. When the time came, someone came to change the guard. He was the same as before.
I went back to my place, but unexpectedly I was knocked unconscious. Then I woke up with a fever all over my body and saw the woman next to me. She was almost unable to control herself due to the influence of drugs, and was knocked unconscious and brought to this place.
Princess Qi has never met King Qi. This is something that is known both inside and outside the palace, so she has not experienced any affairs between men and women, and Zhou Yang knows it very well.
Chu Yunjing does appear to be a bit immature. Even though she dresses like a young woman, she is still a girl underneath and can easily be seen through.
She didn't know why: "What?" Without waiting for a reply, she immediately spoke again: "Because you care so much about the master's affairs, you will become my bodyguard from now on!"
"No!" The tone was firm.
Chu Yunjing said solemnly: "You have no choice. I can find any reason to kill you when I go back. It's more than enough!"
The airs put up in front of Zhou Yang seemed to have no effect. This guard was very cunning.
"It's more than enough for me to kill my empress now!" What he got was an even greater threat.
She squinted her eyes and thought to herself, this person was very courageous and could definitely do it. If she was killed here, there would be no one to save her, and it would take several days to find the body. It would not be cost-effective!
After a long time, she softened a little: "Hey~ Okay, okay! Let's do this! You will be my guard, and I will take you out after I leave the palace. How about I promise you glory and wealth?"
The man in front of me looks like he has a lot of martial arts skills, his limbs are strong and he is very capable of fighting. He looks no less good than Su Hua and Fu Feng. The two men in the mansion are the confidants of King Qi, and he always has to carry them on his back when doing something, but
She was also afraid that it would be unsafe to sneak out, so she needed to recruit a confidant who could fight for her at critical moments.
Being a low-ranking bodyguard in the palace, not to mention the low salary, you can't even make money, but getting a princess is a blessing for a person like him. The glory and wealth that everyone wants is right in front of her. She doesn't believe it.
What reason would the guard have for refusing?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang just closed his eyes indifferently and murmured: "Glory and wealth are all fleeting. If you don't have it, you won't lose it, and you won't feel heartache!"
This makes Chu Yunjing confused. Does he mean to refuse? With his unique skills and unruly nature, does he just want to be a low-level guard in the palace? Or does he expect that he can get a high position with little effort and no one else? It's too much
Be noble!
People don’t have desires and desires, but people’s pursuits are different. Maybe he doesn’t care about the money, but the official position!
"What nonsense! Well, I promise you a bright future, how about joining the court as an official?" She said in a tentative tone, not knowing whether the temptation of an official position would succeed.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yang obviously hesitated, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Seeing him like this, Chu Yunjing knew that he was tempted, but he didn't expect to fall for the second temptation.
She raised the corners of her lips with some pride: "Don't hesitate! You don't need to question it. Even if I allow you to do it, you can do it. How about you? Be my bodyguard?" She understood the other party's doubts, so she wanted to give it to him.
A dose of reassurance.
Zhou Yang looked at him with hesitation at this moment, and their eyes met again, as if they wanted to peek into each other's heart and guess whether the other party could be trusted.
After a long while, he went straight to the point: "An official? Not bad, enough to impress me, but why do you agree to it? You are a powerless princess? Or do you believe that the future throne belongs to His Highness Prince Qi?"
This was a taboo statement, and what did it have to do with the throne? She had never thought about seeking the throne, she just wanted to gain a foothold in this cannibalistic Kyoto so that she would no longer be bullied or trampled on.
This time she would not reveal too much to the guard in front of her who did not know the details. The small power that had just been established outside the palace could easily collapse.
She calmly said: "I dare to promise, but why...and why should I tell you that you can only seek refuge in me now. Being drugged by someone means that you have offended someone.
If I can’t hurt you once, I will inevitably avoid you next time.”
Zhou Yang had been playing hard-to-get for a long time, and he didn't hide what he wanted. No matter whether Chu Yunjing could help him get the official position, his life was now guaranteed, and there was no conflict between the two. He could promise her
, so as to investigate your own case!
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't need you to do anything for the time being. Just go back. I will call you when I need you!" She stood up and went out.
Getting an assistant this time is a blessing in disguise. Ning Ruoshui, a bastard, will deal with her sooner or later.
She quickly returned to Jiuhua Palace, and the back hall was completely quiet. She had no idea that she and Si Yu had been kidnapped. As soon as she returned to Jiuhua Palace and was anxious about where Si Yu was being taken, someone started to panic.
Si Yu was worried that something might happen to her and hurried back to report the news. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was safe.
The eunuch threw Si Yu directly to the place where he was knocked unconscious. Behind the small door, no one noticed the silence. Si Yu woke up from the cold, and then found out that he had been plotted. They simply didn't do anything to Si Yu, otherwise
We must fight to the death with Ning Ruoshui.
Before entering the house, the queen sent someone to ask if Princess Qi was in the palace. It was probably because the queen had just been tricked by Ning Ruoshui and was worried that she sent someone here. After seeing that Chu Yunjing was safe and sound, the palace staff went back.
Reported.
She stayed in the side hall for only a quarter of an hour, and the Queen's Feng Jia, who was holding on to time, had just arrived at Fengyi Palace. She had to come back quickly. If the Queen couldn't find her, there would be a big fuss.
Then they sent someone to promote Zhou Yang to the rank of second-class bodyguard. In this way, he no longer had to stand guard in any palace. He could move freely in the palace as a small leader. As for the one who wanted to harm him, he would not take action for the time being.
She still had to plan how to give Zhou Yang a position after taking him out. Now she should first find out Zhou Yang's life background.
So he immediately wrote a letter to Sun De and asked him to check this person's life background.
As for the sixth prince, he was taken back to Zhang Guifei's Weiyang Palace to meet his grandmother after he finished school early. No one was sent to pick her up. Where could he find this little palace maid? Such a low-quality lie could trap her.
Already.
After dinner, she went to Weiyang Palace to visit...
At this time, in Prince Huai's Mansion, Ning Ruoshui was viciously taking out the pain he suffered in the palace today on his concubine Ye Xiangqiao and Qin Yun's eldest daughter Qin Dai'an.
It was almost midnight, and in the freezing square courtyard, Ning Ruoshui was sitting on a chair, wrapped in fur, holding a heater in her hand, looking elegant and elegant. On both sides were two charcoal basins prepared by the maid to prevent her from getting cold.
She glared at the mother and daughter in front of them, wearing thin clothes and disheveled hair. There were more than a dozen maids and mothers-in-law standing in the courtyard, all of whom were Ning Ruoshui's helpers.
Ye Xiangqiao knelt on the ground with her bare feet covered with frostbite, trembling with cold, and tightly hugged her daughter, who was her only lifeblood.
Two years older than Qin Yun, she was selected as the Enlightenment Palace Maid at the age of ten. She took meticulous care of Qin Yun for many years. Thirteen years ago, she became pregnant with Qin Yun after their first experience. The Queen took the decision to take her in.
, gave birth to their eldest daughter Diane the next year.
At first, Qin Yun treated their mother and daughter well and visited them often. Until he married Ning Ruoshui, and after King Huai left the palace and opened a palace, Ning Ruoshui often abused their mother and daughter, scolding them instead of beating them, and any grievances they had were all on their mother.
As a result, Qin Yun rarely visited their mother and daughter, which aggravated Ning Ruoshui's arrogance.
