After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

New Year’s Eve, East Palace.

Xiao Yujing sat at the round table, holding a bowl of sobering soup in his hand.

In recent years, the emperor's health has been getting worse. He has sought out many famous doctors in Dacheng, but still cannot find the cause of the disease.

Today, the emperor was in a rare good mood, so with the permission of the imperial physician, Xiao Yujing accompanied him to drink a few glasses of wine.

After putting down the sobering soup, Xiao Yujing, feeling a little hot, ordered the palace servants to open the window.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped at the edge of the couch.

The little bamboo rabbit that Jiang Ruoli gave her was still on the couch.

Xiao Yujing stood up, walked over and picked up the rabbit.

Seeing this, Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "Although this little rabbit is not very delicate, the editor has put a lot of effort into it, and it looks very cute."

Are you attentive?

Xiao Yujing raised the corner of his mouth.

It's so rough, I'm afraid it's used for training.

I couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch the rabbit's cheek.

This childish action surprised Eunuch Wu who was standing by.

Since he was appointed as the crown prince, he has rarely seen such youthful demeanor in His Highness.

I couldn't help feeling touched.

"Eunuch Wu, hang this rabbit on the head of my bed." Xiao Yujing ordered.

Eunuch Wu concealed the turmoil in his eyes and said respectfully, "Yes."

During the Spring Festival, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was visited by a constant stream of visitors.

Officials of all ranks came to visit Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Yan during the festival, and many generals also came to look for Jiang Ci'an.

Mrs. Jiang was so busy that she had no time to rest.

Jiang Ci Jin went to Yue Man Lou to get busy.

Although it was the Spring Festival, Yuemanlou hosted quite a few banquets, most of which were banquets hosted by dignitaries, so Jiang Cijin was busier than usual.

Jiang Ruoli is the only one in the family who is so idle that she is almost going moldy.

So when Princess Yuyao sent someone to invite her to the palace, Jiang Ruoli went without thinking.

Following the palace maid into the Minghua Palace, I saw Princess Yuyao fiddling with a vase.

"Your Highness the Princess." Jiang Ruoli knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Yuyao pulled her up and complained, "I told you that we don't have to bow when we're together in the future. Do you like kneeling so much?"

Jiang Ruoli curled her lips.

Not that.

got used to.

"What is your highness doing?" Jiang Ruoli looked at the plum blossoms in the vase.

"A lot of plum blossoms have bloomed in the Imperial Garden these days, and I went to pick some because they looked nice." Xiao Yuyao said, "But the ones I picked yesterday are already a little dry, and they don't look nice no matter how I treat them."

Thinking of something, Xiao Yuyao said, "Li'er, let's go to the Imperial Garden. You haven't been there yet. It's a good opportunity to pick some plum blossoms."

Seeing Princess Yuyao's enthusiasm, Jiang Ruoli agreed with a smile.

The two of them came to the Imperial Garden together.

As soon as he reached the door, the young eunuch on duty in the imperial garden came to greet him.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, greetings." The young eunuch knelt down and bowed.

"Get up." Xiao Yuyao said, and walked inside.

The young eunuch looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Jia is touring the garden with her pet."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuyao snorted coldly, "What's wrong with Concubine Jia? She takes her monkey around every day. Who does she think she cares about?"

Only Xiao Yuyao dared to say this, and the young eunuch was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Yuyao didn't care about what Concubine Jia said. The Imperial Garden was not for her alone.

He turned to Jiang Ruoli and said, "Let's go!"

Wait!

monkey?

Jiang Ruoli suddenly thought of something.

"Your Highness, wait!"

Jiang Ruoli quickly grabbed Xiao Yuyao's arm.

"Why, are you afraid of Concubine Jia too?"

Xiao Yuyao was a little annoyed. Concubine Jia had a black heart except for her decent appearance.

"No..." Jiang Ruoli hesitated, bit her lip, and said:

"Your Highness, you may not know that I once fell into a lake when I was young, which is why I am afraid of lakes and rivers now and dare not approach them."

In addition to flowers, plants and trees, this imperial garden also has a large artificial lake.

But it’s not that she’s really afraid of the lake.

She remembered that in the original book, Princess Yuyao was once in the Imperial Garden and met Concubine Jia who was walking around the garden with her monkey. Suddenly, the monkey went crazy, jumped on Princess Yuyao and scratched her.

Not only did he tear Princess Yuyao's clothes, but he also scratched her face, leaving a long scar.

It was a great shame for a princess of a country to have her body seen naked and her face disfigured in public.

From then on, Xiao Yuyao locked herself in the palace and never came out again.

Until she jumped off the building and committed suicide.

Could it be that Princess Yuyao’s death was also related to this humiliation?

Xiao Yuyao shook off the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

No matter what, she couldn't let Princess Yuyao suffer the same insult again this time.

"Your Highness...why don't we go back first?" Jiang Ruoli observed Xiao Yuyao's expression.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli's timid look, Xiao Yuyao's unhappiness disappeared.

"What are you afraid of? How can I not protect you with me here?" Xiao Yuyao patted Jiang Ruoli's head. "At worst, I can just send a few more people to follow you."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yuyao ordered: "Yunmei, go and call Yunzhu."

"Yes, Your Highness." The palace maid named Yunmei bowed and retreated.

"Don't worry, Yunzhu is very good at martial arts. She can beat five guards by herself." Xiao Yuyao held up five fingers and boasted, "Even if you fall into the lake, she can fish you out! Hahaha!"

"Your Highness..." Jiang Ruoli wanted to persuade her further, but Xiao Yuyao pressed her hand and stopped her from speaking.

After a while, a palace maid named Yunzhu followed Yunmei to the imperial garden.

Jiang Ruoli looked up and saw that the palace maid was very tall, with a broad frame, and looked very strong.

I sighed in my heart.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

The two walked into the Imperial Garden and strolled around slowly.

Xiao Yuyao chattered away introducing all the things in the Imperial Garden.

Jiang Ruoli listened while thinking of countermeasures.

"Merlin is just ahead, let's go quickly." Xiao Yuyao said, pulling Jiang Ruoli forward.

Just as he was turning the corner, suddenly, a palace maid came towards him carrying a plate.

There were some pastries on the plate, and all of them were poured on Xiao Yuyao.

"How do you walk? You bumped into me!" Xiao Yuyao said angrily as she looked at the snack powder stuck on her body.

The maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me!"

Jiang Ruoli quickly knocked the pastries off Xiao Yuyao.

Yunmei and Yuzhu on the side also hurried forward to wipe Princess Yuyao's clothes.

"Which palace are you from? Why are you so panicked?" Xiao Yuyao asked angrily.

"I am from Yonghe Palace. The Imperial Concubine thought the cakes were not tasty, so she ordered me to change some more."

So he’s Concubine Jia’s man?

Well, now that I've fallen into her hands today, she won't let me off easily.

"Someone, come here, this palace maid dared to offend this princess, drag her away and give her thirty strokes of the cane." Xiao Yuyao ordered.

Suddenly, a lazy and charming voice sounded.

"Princess Yuyao is so powerful, how dare anyone from this palace touch her?"
