When Luo Jiuli was about to retreat, the beggar whipped out a sharp dagger and headed straight for Luo Jiuli.
"Sun Ting!"
Almost at the moment when the dagger pierced his chest, Luo Jiuli made a sideways cross to avoid the fatal blow.
The person holding a dagger who wanted to kill her turned out to be Sun Ting, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Chun Rong and the other maid instinctively wanted to protect Luo Jiuli behind them, and they rushed up unarmed.
"Back off, he will hurt you."
Luo Jiuli yelled in fright, then turned over and jumped up. He didn't have time to deal with Sun Ting, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to push Chun Rong and the maid aside.
Over here, Sun Ting's dagger struck again. Luo Jiuli had to protect the two maids from being hurt and deal with Sun Ting again.
At this moment, a figure descended from the sky, kicked the dagger out of Sun Ting's hand, and thrust his palm directly into Sun Ting's shoulder.
Hearing a bang, Sun Ting hit the ground, vomited out a mouthful of blood, and looked at the person who hit him with a vicious look.
"King Zhao, you actually took action for Luo Jiuli, a bitch. King Zhao is such a sweetheart."
That's right, the man who fell from the sky and injured Sun Ting with one palm was none other than Zhao Wang Xiao Zhumo.
Sun Ting knew that if he struck again, it would be detrimental to him, so he held his injured shoulder, threw down a choking smoke bomb, and quickly fled the place.
Luo Jiuli, with his two maids, was unable to settle matters with Sun Ting, so he could only watch Sun Ting escape with a gloomy face.
On the other hand, Xiao Zhumo turned around and looked at Luo Jiuli nervously.
"Li'er, are you injured?"
"Your Highness King Zhao, my daughter's name is Luo Jiuli. As for who the Li'er your Highness is talking about, I don't know you?"
Luo Jiuli avoided his outstretched hand with a cold face.
Chun Rong pulled her young lady over and protected her in front of her.
"On behalf of my young lady, I would like to thank the prince for your life-saving grace."
As he said that, he glanced at the other maid beside him.
"Donglian, Miss is frightened, please take Miss back to the car quickly."
"okay."
The maid Donglian helped Luo Jiuli and hurriedly walked towards the carriage.
"Luo Jiuli."
Xiao Zhumo's eyes were filled with guilt, and he raised his hand to pull it away.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao."
Chun Rong was brave enough to block Xiao Zhumo's outstretched arm with a vigorous step.
"Your Majesty saved the life of our master and servant. No matter what, we should be grateful."
After saying that, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed several times at Xiao Zhumo.
Xiao Zhumo clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves, wishing he could slap this damn maid to death with one palm.
He went through so much trouble, followed Zhou He's suggestion, and drew a huge pie for Sun Ting, just to attract Luo Jiuli's attention again.
At least, with Luo Jiuli's soft heart, he would never refuse him such a heartless offer of saving his life.
However, he miscalculated.
Luo Jiuli seemed to have turned into a woman he didn't recognize, with eyes full of ruthlessness and coldness.
At this time, more and more people were watching, pointing at them and talking louder and louder.
Chun Rong saw the right moment, stood up and saluted, quickly walked out of the crowd and went straight to the carriage.
As the wheel rolled, Xiao Zhumo's heroic life-saving plan was completely defeated by Luo Jiuli's indifferent response.
However, no one saw that in a separate room on the second floor of Yilanxiang, behind a half-closed window, there was a thin and slender man wearing a red brocade robe with a golden wand, and a pair of seductive fox eyes.
Looking at Xiao Zhumo with clenched fists and dark clouds on his face on the street, he laughed coldly.
"Ha! Interesting."
——
Returning to Duke Yiguo's mansion, the master and servant quickly entered the mansion. Returning to Fuquyuan, Luo Jiuli looked at Chunrong's red forehead and sighed helplessly.
"Why do you kneel down for him?"
Chunrong rubbed her forehead.
"He wants to use the gift of saving his life in exchange for the lady's change of heart. How could I let him succeed?"
"You! Am I stupid? I changed my mind."
"Sit down quickly and let Donglian give you an ice compress."
Chun Rong sat down as she was told, still frightened when she thought of the scene just now.
"Miss, why did Sun Ting suddenly appear? How could he have the guts to attack Miss?"
Luo Jiuli shook his head, his eyes dark.
"Could it be that he knew about the flower shop and it was me who tampered with it?"
"But how come King Zhao appears there?"
Chun Rong muttered.
"Perhaps, he and King Zhao are in the same group."
Luo Jiuli was silent, wondering whether she needed to tell Xiao Mingxuan about this.
However, before her letter was sent out of the house, Qin Wu delivered the news.
Looking at the note in his hand.
"What's he doing here at night?"
She had a headache, so she made a vow to her mother that she would never start a relationship with the Nine Kings easily. But before she left her words, the Nine Kings would come to the house late at night.
But whether the nine kings entered the palace in a big way or secretly, Luo Jiuli was the first and the second.
As it got darker, Luo Jiuli obediently accompanied his mother to dinner, took a walk, and chatted, and then sent her mother back to the courtyard to sleep.
From beginning to end, she never told her mother what happened on the street, and she also prohibited Chunrong and Donglian from telling them.
When we returned to Fuquyuan, lanterns had been lit in each courtyard.
"Chunrong, go get ready, I'm going to sleep."
"By the way, put the brocade that the prince sent you during the day on the bedside."
"yes."
Chun Rong hurriedly sent someone to prepare bath water for the young lady, and also hurriedly made the bed.
Donglian took off Luo Jiuli's bun and helped her take a bath and wash herself.
After everything was settled, Chunrong and Donglian blew out the candles, closed the door quietly and went out.
Because Luo Jiuli was worried about their health, he never asked them to keep vigil.
Therefore, the two of them slept in the room next door, and no longer had to keep vigil on the floor under the corridor as before.
Lying on the bed, Luo Jiuli tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Her mind kept thinking about what happened during the day. Sun Ting suddenly appeared and wanted to kill her, but King Zhao suddenly appeared again and saved her.
But there is one thing. How did Sun Ting know her whereabouts? Why did King Zhao go to Yilanxiang Street?
Is it possible that, as Chun Rong guessed, Sun Ting and King Zhao are in the same group?
Regardless of whether those two people are together or not, she will have to be extra careful when leaving the house in the future.
And the woman she saved in Yilanxiang? The look in her eyes when she looked at her was inexplicably complicated. Could it be that the woman also knew her, or was she familiar with her? But there was clearly no image of that woman in her memory.
.
All kinds of weird thoughts flashed through her mind over and over again, and she slowly fell asleep.
She didn't know what time it was, but in her sleep, she suddenly felt a movement. Although it was very light, the military doctor's sensitivity made her open her eyes immediately.
Then she saw a dark figure standing in front of her bed. This tall figure gave people an invisible pressure.
