Mo Xiang looked at the exquisite jewelry on the table with joy. This was the dress of the wife of Prince Chen. The peony embroidered with gold thread showed her status, and paired with this glittering golden peony crown, if Ji Yuqing saw it, she would probably be jealous.
Mo Xiang touched the gorgeous clothes and golden crown, her fingers trembling with excitement, "Princess, is the prince planning to change the courtyard for us? You are the principal wife and you should live with the prince."
Ji Lingxue's mouth twitched, "That... Mo Xiang, if I said that I would exchange the title of princess for a hundred taels of gold, would you believe it?"
"Ah!?" Mo Xiang had a look as if she had seen a ghost. She stared at Ji Lingxue with her mouth open. She didn't understand why the princess didn't care about him when the prince was so nice to her
Ji Lingxue patted Mo Xiang's shoulder and said, "Don't be in a daze. I have to go out of the house today. Since there are valuables in the house, you stay and help me cover."
Mo Xiang nodded, "Princess, be careful when you go out alone!"
Ji Lingxue shrugged and said self-deprecatingly: "I have no money or sex now, who would rob me?"
In the dilapidated temple in the west of the city, Xiao Si grabbed a piece of straw and put it in his mouth to chew out of boredom, his eyes occasionally glancing at the unconscious man on the ground. It had been two days since the day Ji Lingxue brought him to the dilapidated temple. He had dealt with this man, and not to mention that this man was quite handsome, no wonder the girl saved him.
Huang San came over with a glass of water and said to Xiao Si, "This man has been unconscious for two days. How come he still hasn't woken up? I haven't left home to take care of him. I feel so depressed staying in this broken temple."
Xiao Si said: "He will always wake up when he should. Why are you in such a hurry? When he wakes up, we will ask for some reward. Get some silver and go drink."
Huang San nodded quickly, squatted down with the bowl of water, helped the unconscious man on the ground, and drank the water in the bowl in one gulp.
Ruge fluttered her long eyelashes, and the cold liquid slid down her throat, gradually making him clearer. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the two strangers standing in front of her, she asked, "You saved me?"
He remembered that the last scene before he fainted was meeting two girls. The nightmare of fighting for two days and one night was finally over.
Xiao Si moved his lips and was about to say something when he heard a clear voice coming from the door, "I saved you!"
Ji Lingxue walked in carrying two jugs of wine, which made Xiao Si's eyes widen and he swallowed.
It smells so good, and the wine is so good. I have everything I want.
Huang San jumped to Ji Lingxue's side and said, "Girl, you came just in time. The man just woke up." After saying that, he took the two pots of wine that Ji Lingxue was carrying and slipped away.
Xiao Si snorted angrily and said, "You little San, you actually want to keep it all for yourself!" Then he took off one of his shoes and rushed towards the direction where Huang San disappeared.
Ji Lingxue twitched her lips, and let the two people make a fuss. She walked straight to Ruge who was sitting on the ground rubbing her forehead, "I saved you, how do you want to repay me?"
Ruge looked up at Ji Lingxue. The sunlight shone through the broken tiles onto Ji Lingxue, casting a soft glow on her face. Her features could not be seen clearly. Only her elegant blue dress fluttered in the wind.
Ruge thought for a moment and said, "You are short of people, I will be your bodyguard for a year."
Ji Lingxue shook her head. "When I rescued you, you were seriously injured and being hunted down. You must have been very miserable. If you act as my bodyguard, will I be implicated by you?"
Ruge lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I will keep a low profile and won't cause you any trouble."
