After eating quietly, he walked out of the gate of the Ninth Prince's Mansion accompanied by Xiao Mingxuan.
Looking at the battle in front of him, Luo Jiuli was confused and surprised.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
At the entrance of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the carriage was ready.
If it was just a carriage, it would not be enough to shock Luo Jiuli. However, on both sides of the carriage, there were two maids with swords on their waists, two guards in black, and a row of guards from the Nine Princes' Palace.
Even the driver for her was replaced by Qin Wu.
Luo Jiuli looked at the battle in front of him, his lips twitching slightly.
"Your Majesty, I am going home, not going to fight."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"I know you're going home."
Luo Jiuli pursed his lips, understanding that he was really scared last night, and felt warm and moved in his heart.
"Your Majesty, thank you for being so kind to me, but there are too many guards here."
"To avoid causing unnecessary trouble and for convenience, I will keep the two maids and Qin Wu."
Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a moment and nodded:
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Then with a wave of his hand, two guards in black and a row of guards retreated to both sides.
The two maids with swords at their waists also stepped forward and saluted Luo Jiuli respectfully.
"Slave Nanxing."
"Slave Nanzhu."
"See Master."
Luo Jiuli was a little surprised.
On the side, Xiao Mingxuan held Luo Jiuli's hand and said:
"From now on, they will be your personal guards, and you will be their master. They will take your lead in everything they do."
Luo Jiuli glanced at Nan Xing and Nan Zhu. She had already made plans to buy two girls who knew martial arts, but things kept coming one after another.
Although she knows kung fu herself, there are too many 'perverts' in this world, let alone Xiao Mingxuan and his men.
Abnormal, huge pervert!
Flying over eaves and walking over walls, breaking holes in the air, one sword can knock off two heads.
Just thinking about it makes my head tingle.
But she didn't expect that he would give her his men to her today.
Luo Jiuli nodded, knowing that people coming and going at the door was not the place to talk.
"Your Majesty, I will go back to the palace first, and you should quickly enter the palace to meet the Holy Emperor."
"good."
Xiao Mingxuan's eyebrows became gentler and gentler.
He personally helped Luo Jiuli get into the carriage and watched the carriage leave the Ninth Prince's Mansion in a majestic manner. The man who was so gentle a second ago turned around and his eyes turned cold.
"Qin Yin, have everyone been caught?"
Qin Yin was in trouble.
"Master, this matter is fermenting so much that it has been rumored outside all morning."
"Those ordinary people are following what they say. If they are all arrested, I am afraid that the prisons of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will not be enough to hold them."
"What's more, they are all unfavorable rumors against Miss Luo Er. I suspect that someone is spreading them deliberately behind the scenes."
Xiao Mingxuan got on his horse and said ruthlessly.
"Then kill him as a warning to others."
"It's not their turn to comment on my king's women."
"yes."
Qin Yin lowered his head and held the handle of the knife at his waist.
If he were to catch who was behind the scenes spreading unfavorable rumors against Miss Luo Er, he would have to kill that person with a single blow.
On the other side, Luo Jiuli has returned to the Yiguo Palace.
The guards outside the Duke's Mansion saw their second young lady getting off the carriage from the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and their eyes widened:
"Second...Miss Second is back?"
Luo Jiuli got off the carriage, climbed up the steps, and frowned at the guard.
"Is it weird that I'm back?"
"No, it's not strange."
The guard shook his head hurriedly and looked away.
Luo Jiuli was puzzled, but didn't pay too much attention.
"Where's my mother?"
"Reply to the second lady, Madam is in the front hall."
"good."
She nodded and entered the mansion, followed by the maids Nan Xing, Nan Zhu and Qin Wu as always, hiding in the darkness outside the Duke's mansion.
"Mother."
As soon as he entered the front hall, Luo Jiuli saw his mother clenching her fists with her hands, her face gloomy, and pacing back and forth.
Hearing the call, the Duke's wife suddenly raised her head.
"Jiu'er."
Luo Jiuli took a few steps forward and bowed.
"The daughter makes her mother worried."
"Nothing, nothing, I hope you can come back safely."
The Duke's wife took her hand and entered the hall without mentioning anything about last night or asking her where she went last night.
Luo Jiuli is a person with a very strong sixth sense. From the look on the guard's face when she entered the house to the sullen look on her mother's face, she knew something was wrong.
And, this is about her.
Otherwise, with how much her mother cares about her, she would never be indifferent to what happened last night.
"Where's Butler Zhang?"
She deliberately looked around the hall and found that except for Aunt Xu, several common people were not there.
"Oh! Butler, the butler went to the shop to help."
Aunt Xu quickly took the words.
Luo Jiuli glanced at Nanny Xu lightly, then looked at her mother.
"My mother didn't ask me what happened yesterday? Where did I go? Is there any danger? Where did I stay overnight?"
The Duke's wife was shocked by her sudden rhetorical question. Her heart sank as if filled with boulders. She opened her mouth, ready to speak.
Suddenly, I heard a loud and deafening sound of gongs coming from outside the door.
The mother and daughter were startled, looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and walked out of the house.
At this time, the gate of Yiguo Duke's mansion was already crowded with people watching.
At the bottom of the steps, a ragged old woman holding a gong was confronting the guards of the Duke's Mansion.
Seeing the mother and daughter walking out of the house, the old woman's eyes were filled with sparks. She was about to rush up, but was stopped by the guards.
"Be brave. How can I allow you to act wild in front of the Duke's mansion?"
The old woman didn't care at all about the guard's reprimand, and stared at the mother and daughter who were walking out of the house with ferocious eyes like a jackal.
"Liu Youning, you too have today, you have today too! Hahaha"
"Aren't you self-righteous? Aren't you unconventional? As the Duke's wife, you look down on me as your sister-in-law. I am in danger, and you turn a blind eye. Bah!"
"It's okay now, retribution, retribution! Your daughter Luo Jiuli, the second daughter of the dignified Duke of Yiguo, was first abandoned, then kidnapped by gangsters, drugged with charms, and became the butt of those beggars.
Let’s play——”
Snapped!
In the Duke's palace, a black whip flew out like a long snake, suddenly rolled up the old woman's waist, and whipped her hard.
Before the old woman could react, she was whipped to the ground and the obscene words in her mouth stopped abruptly.
"Bold bitch, I think you have the courage to humiliate my master."
Nanzhu rolled over and landed firmly in front of the old woman. He raised his foot and kicked the old woman hard in the stomach.
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, retreating back and talking among themselves.
"The second young lady of the Luo family was really kidnapped by gangsters last night?"
"No, it hasn't stopped this morning. There are rumors everywhere that Miss Luo Er was not only kidnapped by gangsters, but also drugged."
