When Xie Yao saw Wu Peiya lying on the ground with a look of despair, her eyes flashed, "I'm here, don't worry, leave the affairs here to me."
Zi Qing, who was following Xie Yao, immediately kicked the man in linen hard.
"Sneak attack? I'm going to kick you to death! How dare you bully Peiya! How dare you bully Peiya!"
"You beast! Dare to bully our Peiya? It's easy to kick you to death!"
Zi Qing's eyes flashed coldly in anger, and she kicked the man in sackcloth violently, kicking and scolding him at the same time.
The man in sackcloth was kicked and his head was buzzing, and his body was in terrible pain.
After a burst of wailing, he hurriedly defended: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't hurt her, she took the initiative to invite me over..."
"Ziqing, shut his mouth!" Xie Yao ordered coldly, then helped Wu Peiya up from the ground and asked softly: "Are there any injuries?"
Wu Peiya was completely confused. It wasn't until she saw the princess and heard her voice that she came to her senses and hugged Xie Yao excitedly, "Princess!"
Xie Yao patted Wu Peiya's back and comforted her softly, "Peiya, don't be afraid, no one can hurt you."
At this time, Ziqing and Wufeng had completely blocked the Maid man's mouth and tied him up with ropes.
Xie Yao raised her eyes and looked at Wu Feng, "I'll leave him to you."
Wu Feng's eyes were filled with ice, and he bowed and said, "Don't worry, Princess, I have a way to prevent him from speaking out about this matter in this life."
Xie Yao glanced at the man in sackcloth with a cold gaze, nodded towards Wu Feng, and signaled Wu Feng to take him away.
Wufeng understood and immediately took the man in sackcloth down.
"Don't worry, no one can hurt you anymore." Xie Yao comforted Wu Peiya softly in her ear.
"Princess, I thought no one knew about what happened that day. When this person came to me and repeated what happened that day, I thought I was calm enough, but I still... I am very disappointed in myself."
Wu Peiya nodded heavily, her eyes were slightly red, and there were two tears in the corners of her eyes, which fell quickly and quietly.
"Peiya, you still have me, and your parents. Next time, if you encounter someone threatening you again, don't hide it from me. You are mine, and I will not allow my people to be coerced or even harmed by others."
, Do you understand? We can face it together, there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved." Xie Yao's voice was gentle and soothing.
In her eyes, Wu Peiya is just a child.
"I understand." Wu Peiya responded obediently, like a child who had done something wrong, and hugged Xie Yao tighter.
…
Beijing.
After Xie Yao and others' carriage entered the city, they rushed back to Prince Han's Mansion without stopping.
After Xie Yao settled Wu Peiya, she found Wu Feng and said with a serious look: "Today's events are not allowed to be spread to outsiders."
Wu Feng bowed, "I understand, I understand. But the matter is so important, I still have to tell the prince."
Xie Yao nodded in agreement.
An hour later.
When Chu Han came back from the military camp and heard Wu Feng's report about Wu Peiya, his heart moved and he used this as an excuse to go find Xie Yao.
"I didn't expect that after so long, someone would still come out to threaten the Wu family girl." Chu Han walked side by side with Xie Yao, his eyes fell in front and his voice was calm.
Xie Yao nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect that either. I saw her expression was strange at first, and then I heard she said she was going back to Wu Mansion to stay for a few days. I thought something had happened to Wu Mansion. Fortunately, I followed her out of the city at that time.
, otherwise it will be too late to save her."
"Once something like this happens again, it will definitely hit her hard."
She couldn't bear to see this girl who often looked at her with starry eyes fall into that painful whirlpool again.
Chu Han looked at Xie Yao with some surprise, his eyebrows raised, "Do you care about her?"
Xie Yao's eyes deepened and she replied seriously, "Since she has entered Prince Han's palace and become my maid, I naturally have to care about her."
"Entered the door of Prince Han's Mansion?" Chu Han muttered in a low voice, then curled his lips, seeming to be very satisfied with Xie Yao's statement.
Xie Yao was a little confused when she saw Chu Han suddenly smiled, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"No problem, you said it very well." Chu Han responded with a smile, the curve of the corners of his mouth becoming more and more obvious.
Xie Yao saw Chu Han's strange smile and ignored it.
Chu Han thought of something again and changed the subject, "I heard that you have been very close to General Zhengxi recently?"
Xie Yao immediately became wary, "Why do you say that?"
General Zhengxi is gaining momentum and has a high status in the court. She is just a dilapidated daughter of a marquis, and if she suddenly gets close to General Zhengxi, it is inevitable that people will think that she has other agendas and wants to make a comeback.
She didn't mind being thought so by others, but she didn't want to cause trouble for her grandfather or the Pingdong Hou Mansion.
"Don't be nervous. Only I know about this matter at the moment, but I won't be able to hide it soon. I tell you first so that you can be prepared. I don't mind who you get close to, but
Be sure to pay attention to safety." Chu Han solemnly warned.
When Xie Yao heard this and saw his concerned eyes, she suddenly felt warm in her heart. She smiled and nodded, "It was General Cheng's wife who was sick and had no way to seek medical treatment, so she went to my grandfather. I also happened to go to Ping An."
Donghou Mansion, so I took the opportunity to help Mrs. Cheng treat her. Other than that, there is nothing else."
When she first treated Cheng Yongjun's eyes, she was outside the city, in the wilderness, where it was basically impossible for anyone to see her.
"I have said that I don't care about this matter. All I care about is your safety. However, your words are not appropriate. It is best to find time to polish it, so that it will sound more credible to others."
Chu Han seemed to have seen through Xie Yao's thoughts and spoke frankly.
Xie Yao nodded solemnly when he heard this, his eyes a little heavy, "You are right, it does need polishing."
Although her story is true, it is also a little thin. If she wants to avoid making people suspicious, she needs to make it more believable.
Chu Han turned his head and his dark eyes fell on Xie Yao's face. Seeing that she was thinking seriously, the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, "If there are similar things in the future, you can ask me more, it will definitely benefit you a lot.
.”
Just as Xie Yao was about to respond, he suddenly smelled a wisp of medicinal fragrance floating in the distance.
That was the soothing decoction she ordered people to cook for Wu Peiya.
Although Wu Peiya escaped safely, she was still a little frightened.
Smelling the fragrance of the medicine, she suddenly thought of the medicinal materials given by the Crown Princess to Chu Han to heal his body, and asked, "When does the prince plan to start taking the medicine?"
"Take medicine? What medicine?" Chu Han was slightly startled by the question and paused in his steps.
"Although the medicinal materials that the Imperial Grandmother gave to her when we entered the palace to pay her respects have been properly kept, it is best to consume them as soon as possible to avoid losing their medicinal properties." Xie Yao's lips curled up slightly, her beautiful eyes smiling.
