Seeing this, Xiao Junyi couldn't help but show a proud smile, "This is cartilage powder, my king's treasure."
The beauty with pear blossoms and rain in front of her was instantly alluring. Xiao Junyi felt aroused, and he couldn't wait to pounce on Xiao Xinyue without even taking off his clothes.
But just when he pounced on Xiao Xinyue, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.
Xiao Junyi was dizzy, staggered up and turned around, and immediately saw an enlarged face appearing in front of him.
"Xie Ruyue? If you dare to hit me, I will tell you—"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit with another sap on the head. Xiao Junyi's eyes suddenly darkened, and he could no longer say the next words, and he fell softly backward on the soft couch.
Xie Ruyue covered her still beating heart, threw the wooden stick she picked up on the ground, rushed to the soft couch in a hurry, helped Xiao Xinyue up who was weak, and asked with concern, "Princess Princess, Are you okay?"
Xiao Xinyue never expected that when she was in the most embarrassing situation, she would be rescued by someone she had always looked down on, and she started crying in fear and embarrassment.
Seeing her crying, Li Hua couldn't help herself. Xie Ruyue panicked for a moment. Together with Pearl, she helped her sit down at the table, poured water for her and fed her. While helping her, she turned around and gave instructions. He said, "Zhenzhu, go to the Seventh Princess and find the Fourth Miss. Tell her that something happened to the princess. Hurry!"
Pearl also knew the pros and cons, so she didn't waste any time and hurriedly ran outside.
After Xie Ruyue finished her instructions, she let out a long breath, turned around and glanced at Xiao Junyi who had fainted, and felt that one was bigger than the other.
Although she knocked Xiao Junyi unconscious just now, the other party saw her face. When Xiao Junyi wakes up, I am afraid this matter will not be so simple to deal with.
But she didn't regret it. If she had to watch others being bullied just for her own safety, Xie Ruyue would rather die than take this kind of peace.
Xiao Xinyue couldn't speak, she was shocked and scared, and the tears in her eyes fell faster. After all, she is just a little girl. No matter how arrogant she looks on weekdays, if something happens to her, she will still be the same confused person.
Seeing her like this, Xie Ruyue sighed slightly and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, the bad guys won't hurt you at all."
Xie Ruyue was used to being a sister. Now seeing Xiao Xinyue's pitiful appearance like a little beast, she couldn't help but coax her softly.
Xiao Xinyue's tears were originally caused by being frightened, but after seeing the softness on Xie Ruyue's face, she felt extra heartwarming. She lost her biological mother when she was born, and now the royal concubine is Xu Xian. She is treated with more alienation than love on weekdays. Except for Xiao Junhe, no one has really cared about her since she was a child.
Seeing the girl in front of her turn into tears, Xie Ruyue felt distressed and helpless at the same time. She simply took out the handkerchief and wiped it carefully for her, while smiling softly, "Princess, please don't cry anymore. If you cry again, it won’t be pretty.”
Xiao Xinyue regained some energy, opened her mouth and said softly, "This princess is beautiful even if she cries."
She still had to put in a lot of effort when she spoke, but the stubbornness and annoyance in her words were clearly visible.
Seeing that she had the energy to talk back, Xie Ruyue knew that she was getting better, so she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, whatever you say will be whatever it is. Is that okay?"
After hearing this, Xiao Xinyue smiled with satisfaction. Taking advantage of the feeling of powerlessness in her body, she directly put her hands around Xie Ruyue's waist, rested her head on her shoulder, and muttered with a thick nasal voice. ,"I am afraid."
As soon as she said these three words, Xie Ruyue felt a sourness spreading in her heart.
When she was young, whenever there was a thunderstorm, Xie Ruzhuo would wrinkle her little face and knock on her door with her little pillow in her arms. Every time she opened the door, the girl would say aggrievedly, "Zhuo'er is afraid, my sister is holding me." .”
However, as she grew up, Mrs. Fu taught her to have a lawless temper, and the two sisters became increasingly estranged. Xie Ruzhuo, who would come to her in thunderstorms with a quilt in his arms, never disappeared again.
Fortunately, the girl finally changed her temper in the past two years, but despite her clear mind, there was an inexplicable sadness and resentment between her brows.
Xie Ruyue didn't understand where her resentment came from, but she could feel that that emotion must have affected her sister for a long time before she could look like she was reborn from the ashes.
She thought of Xie Ruzhuo, and the movements of her hands became gentler, and she coaxed softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, as long as I am here, no one will hurt you."
At the end of the day, Xie Ruyue couldn't even tell whether it was Xie Ruzhuo or Xiao Xinyue in her arms.
When Xiao Junhe arrived, this was what he saw.
When Pearl was looking for someone just now, she happened to see Xiao Junhe, so she informed him about the matter before going to the seventh princess's palace.
As soon as Xiao Junhe learned the news, he hurriedly ran over, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xie Ruyue holding Xiao Xinyue and comforting her softly.
Her face was full of softness, like a Bodhisattva enshrined in a temple filled with incense.
He didn't know whether Xie Ruyue could save the world, but Xiao Junhe knew clearly that in this life, he would be saved by this woman.
It was Xie Ruyue who heard the footsteps behind her first and turned around in a hurry, only to see Xiao Junhan looking at her affectionately. Her face turned red, and because Xiao Xinyue was hugging her at this time, she could only say slightly embarrassed, "Your Majesty, you are here."
As soon as she spoke, Xiao Junhe came back to his senses, nodded and asked, "Are you okay?"
With that said, Xiao Junhe looked around the small Nuan Pavilion again. When he saw Xiao Junyi, who was half leaning on the bed, he immediately frowned.
Xie Ruyue didn't know what he was thinking, but she said with some guilt, "I accidentally knocked him unconscious. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for you again later."
"Hmph, you dare to touch even my family members. Does Xiao Junyi think that living in Prince Duan's Mansion is too comfortable?" Xiao Junhe sneered, then walked to Xie Ruyue's side, helped Xiao Xinyue to sit aside, and comforted, "Little sister, are you okay?"
Xiao Xinyue was already a little drowsy in Xie Ruyue's arms just now. When she heard Xiao Junhe's voice, she couldn't help the tears she had felt earlier and threw herself into Xiao Junhe's arms. She couldn't help crying, "Two Brother, I'm so scared, that bad guy bullied me! I almost got his way!"
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and then Xie Ruzhuo ran in with a panicked look. Only when he saw Xie Ruyue standing intact in the Nuan Pavilion did he let out a big sigh of relief. She grabbed Xie Ruyue's hand and asked worriedly, "Second sister, have you been injured anywhere?"
Xie Ruyue looked at her amused and moved and said, "I'm fine, but there might be something wrong with that one." After saying that, Xie Ruyue pursed her lips again and pointed at Xiao Junyi, who was unconscious on the ground.
Xiao Junxi came in after her, looked around the room, and then asked, "What's going on?"
Pearl was in a hurry just now and only said, "Miss knocked out King Duan in the Nuan Pavilion!" Xie Ruzhuo then ran over in a hurry without even hearing the details. At this moment, both of them were a little confused.
Xie Ruyue sighed and said, "Just now I was enjoying the scenery in the plum garden, and accidentally bumped into Prince Duan who wanted to use force on the princess. I was in a hurry, so I found a stick and knocked him out, but I was a little nervous. I missed a hit, but he saw my face and made up for it before he fainted."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately said with righteous indignation, "Hitting him is too gentle. This is not the first time for such a scumbag to do such low-level things!"
At last year's New Year's Eve banquet, she was almost frivolous by Xiao Junyi. This Xiao Junyi is simply a mad dog that can't stop when it's in heat. He wants to bite everyone he sees!
Xiao Junxi patted her shoulder to comfort her. Seeing that Xiao Xinyue was not seriously injured at the moment, she said, "That's it, this matter is not a big deal. Jiubao, take them to me." Please stay in the palace for a while, and remember to ask Dr. Wen to diagnose and treat the princess to see if she is in any serious condition."
After saying that, Xiao Junxi turned around and comforted her, "Zhuo'er, you go to my place for a while and I'll deal with the aftermath."
Xiao Junhe Dang even shook his head and said, "Thank you for your highness's kindness, but since this matter involves my Dingnan Palace, I definitely have no idea of being alone. Please leave your highness with your sister-in-law and others, and I will stay. Wait until King Duan wakes up. Now, I still have to talk to him!"
Xiao Junxi coughed twice before saying, "His intentions were frivolous, but Miss Xie also hit him. Today's incident has given him an advantage for the time being, so we can call it even."
Hearing this, Xiao Junhe then remembered Xie Ruyue's beating of the other party, but he didn't take it to heart, "He made mistakes first, why couldn't he hit him?"
Xie Ruyue gave him a funny look, and then said with a little worry, "This matter has something to do with me after all. I'll stay too." After saying that, she said in a strong voice, "Anyway, I am responsible for all the work. If you want to kill You have to cut it as you please!"
"He dares!" Xie Ruzhuo snorted first, "He dares to touch your finger!" Then she would try her best to take off the opponent's hat!
Seeing the people in this room getting more and more confused, Xiao Junxi simply darkened her face and said, "Okay, just listen to this prince, you all leave, no one is allowed to stay!"
He calmed down again and said comfortingly, "Zhuo'er, trust me."
His eyes were inexplicably reassuring. Xie Ruzhuo naturally believed him, but he couldn't help but worry. He asked softly, "Is it okay for Your Highness to stay here by yourself? Why don't I stay here too?"
Xiao Junxi shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, just go over there."
Before leaving the house, Xiao Xinyue finally made up her mind and tugged at the corner of Xie Ruyue's clothes, and then in the face of the other party's confused eyes, she said, "Thank you for saving me today."
Seeing her awkward little appearance, Xie Ruyue burst out laughing and said, "I'll accept your thank you."
As he spoke, he carefully supported her with Pearl and left Xiaonuang Pavilion.
Xie Ruzhuo was worried about Xiao Junxi. After sending him out of the plum garden, he smiled and said, "You go ahead. I'll wait here for a while."
Xie Ruyue and her sisters immediately understood her thoughts, nodded, and said, "Be careful in everything." Then they left with Jiubao and others.
When Xie Ruzhuo turned around again, he heard the people inside roaring, "Humph, Xie Ruyue actually dares to hit me with a stick, I will definitely not spare her!"
Seeing the resentment on his face, Xiao Junxi sat down calmly, then looked at him and said, "Okay, fifth brother, just go and make trouble. When the father asks, you will say that you are drunk and frivolous towards the princess." First of all, maybe I won’t be able to wear the hat of King Duan anymore.”
