Chapter 24
Rong Xiangmian laughed, “You’re doing this kind of thing on behalf of King and Mrs. Li, you wouldn’t think that you would still be able to walk out of the East Garden Polo Ground alive, would you?”
Lei Shi was startled again, the East Garden Polo Ground was under the jurisdiction of the Nine Gates Patrol Battalion, and the Patrol Battalion Commander was Zhang Qing, the second son of Marquis Yong An, his master. The orders he received were to destroy the innocence of King Yu’s fiancée, and there would be someone to cover his departure and land him dead. This kind of matter involving the royal family is naturally done for King Li.
Rong Xiangshi takes the opportunity to provoke: ”Don’t you know that the Emperor is here? Now the outside feather guards have doubled. If a moment of trouble, you guess Zhang family is to protect you, or rush in front of the feather guards, first sealed your mouth? I’m certainly faceless, but it’s a lot better than what would happen if you were lifeless.”
The man’s eyes rolled a few times, reacting to the fact that Rong Xiangmian was trying to get away by relying on a skillful mouth, and laughed strangely, “Could it be that if I let you go today, I can’t have any good end? Why don’t you die under the peony flower and be a flirtatious ghost.”
“It’s fine for you to be a flirtatious ghost, but bothering your wife and children living in Xiaohe Lane with a family of five to accompany me to the grave, isn’t it a bit too grand?”
With these words, Lei Shi was completely confused.
In his last life, the King of Li’s heart has guessed that Lei Shi is instructed by whom, but taking into account the Zhang family, do not dare to pursue the inside story, just rewarded jewelry to appease Rong Xiangwang, to calm things down.
Or Rong Xiangwang got the testimony of the Lei family, cut Lei Shi’s head, threw it in front of Mr. and Mrs. King Li, warning them: “Dare to harm my sister again, next time it will be your head that will be cut!”
Of course, the Lei Shi in front of him was completely unaware of all this and was momentarily shaken, “Who are you? How do you know about my family?”
Rong Xiangshi leisurely said, “I also know a lot about you. How much silver did the Zhang family give you? Five hundred taels? I’ll give you a thousand taels to do Zhang Yao, are you willing?”
“You’re a demon!” Lei Shi saw that she even said the number of silver to the penny, and his trepidation could no longer be hidden.
When he could not retreat, a slender hand, like a ghost, covered Lei Shi’s eyes, and in a flash a red whip wrapped around his neck, sharply flipping him over and buckling him to the ground. Lei Shi was like a fish out of water, his mouth was open, but he couldn’t make a sound, his body was helplessly thrashing, and then he slowly fainted to death.
It was the maid who led the horse for King Yu, such a small girl, subduing the man in an instant.
Feiyun was stunned and asked, “Who are you?”
“Don’t care who I am. Someone asked me to bring medicine to the girl. Go back tonight and remember to rub it on your left bladder and elbow, or you won’t be able to lift your arm tomorrow.”
As she spoke, she tossed a small bottle over, and Feixue caught it with a quick eye.
“Get out of here, or it won’t be easy if someone comes later. Don’t say anything about this to anyone.”
Rong Xiangshi understood: “Thank you, girl, for your righteousness in rescuing me.”
After saying that, she quickly left the dressing house and walked along the path into the garden.
After the Emperor’s arrival, all the people here went to the front, so it was particularly quiet. The people from the Nine Gate Patrol Battalion, naturally, wanted to intentionally leave an opening for the bandits to come and go, and when the time came, they all said that they hadn’t seen anything.
At the entrance to the garden, she ran into the Knight King and his wife. They seemed to be waiting for the bandits to get their hands on her and leave, and then make people go in to discover the situation and ruin her reputation.
Unexpectedly, they didn’t see the bandits, but saw Rong Xiangmei traveling in a hurry. They were surprised and called out to her, concerned, “Rong family girl, are you alright?”
Rong Xiangmian stabilized her position and only felt a chill in her teeth.
The account of her past life has not been settled, thinking that people die and things disappear, this life is just to live without any relationship, but I did not think that she would still want to mess with her?
She had to drag some time for that little girl so that she could deal with such a big block, so she covered her heart with a shocked expression, “But I was scared to death, fortunately His Highness and the Princess are here.”
“What’s wrong?”
Rong Xiangmian said, “I don’t know what kind of bad luck I’ve had today, first I was surprised by a crazy horse, and just now I was startled by a poisonous snake that came from nowhere. This is looking at the beginning of spring, fortunately the snake has just slowed down from hibernation and does not move fast, otherwise I am designated to be bitten. Your Highness, Your Highness or quickly go back to the Moonwatch Terrace, don’t go to the garden, especially avoid the grass under the wall, if you want to be bitten, it’s not a joke!”
She said it in a serious manner, pulling the Li Wangfei and walking back, that Li Wang couple momentarily even believed it, following her to the Moonwatch Terrace.
Rong Xiangmian was relieved to see this, and bowed to the Li Wang couple, “I’m sorry to trouble you two for your concern, but Niangniang Hui was angry, and I’m in a hurry to go and make amends! Excuse me.”
Seeing their puzzled looks, Rong Xianghan turned around and sneered.
In this life, Zhou Xianhan was also not a good person. She had actually offended him by not agreeing to be King Li’s side consort, and wanted to harm her to this point. They were in the same nostrils as Empress Zhang, bent on stirring up the marriage between the Yuhang House and the Duke of State’s House, making the Rong Family and the Fourth Highness lose face.
She pressed down her displeasure and went back to sit with Mingyue to accompany Princess Hui for a while.
It wasn’t long before she saw that little girl with her hands behind her back, bouncing and jumping, coming from a very different direction from the dressing house, walking briskly to Yuhang’s side and whispering a few words.
Was she talking about her? What would Yü Wang think of her?
She sees King Yu picking up his tea cup and taking a sip of tea without moving, his eyes naturally falling on her.
Rong Xiangshi sees that her heart is in the right place and reluctantly squeezes out a smile.
Yuhang put down the tea cup, his face did not see the slightest change in mood, and picked up a plate of pastries, that little girl in front of the crowd directly picked up and ate. The little girl picked it up and ate it right in front of the crowd, causing the relatives and nobles around her to look at her sideways.
We all know the Yuhang’s mountainous behavior, this time all know well.
King Yuh explained a few words to another youth beside him, and the youth immediately left, not knowing what to do.
Thinking that King Yun and King Yu are close friends, Rong Xiangmian asks Sun Mingyue, “Beside King Yu, isn’t there a very resourceful little maid?”
“What? You’re jealous before you’ve even gotten married?”
Rong Xiang See had to be brazen: “I’m inquiring for nothing, I see that she is quite valued.”
“She is not a maid, is His Highness’s personal attendant, receiving the monthly payment of the first-class guards of the Royal Household.”
“A guard?”
“Yes. I heard King Yun say that King Yu doesn’t have a maid of honor, and those two personal followers by his side are orphans he took in the borderlands of Yangzhou, following him into death.”
“Then …… that little girl has also killed people?”
“I don’t know, should have killed it.”
Rong Xiangmei was worried about making a scene. Even if it didn’t make a scene, the news of catching the assassin would always leak out, right, and the news of her changing clothes there would less likely be mentioned. At that time, how to explain?
But until the end of the polo match, there was no unusual news, as if Lei Shi had evaporated.
When it was time to disperse, because there were too many VIPs, the carriages went one by one, surprisingly clogging up.
Rong Xiangshi followed his family members slowly out along the walkway outside the stadium, and suddenly realized that Yu Wang had come from the opposite walkway at some point just to meet up with them.
This is by no means a coincidence.
After everyone politely says goodbye, King Yu drops two words, “It’s fine,” and then quickly walks away.
“What are you talking about?” Rong Xiangwen muttered from the side, while Feixue and the girls glanced at each other and sighed in relief.
It’s alright.
In the carriage going back, Rong Xiangzhi is still angry about losing the ball game, mother and daughter are alone, Mrs. Guo Gong has no scruples and comforts her daughter, “The fourth girl won the ball game, the marriage is bound to suffer.”
Rong Xiangzhi did not understand, Liu laughed, “She is too young! She’s too young to be competitive and doesn’t understand men, thinking that she’ll be favored if she makes a splash on the field. Which man likes a woman who can outshine him? Not to mention what kind of person that Yu Wang is, in public, losing to the fourth maiden and the second highness, does it look good on your face?”
Rong Xiangzhi was dazed and immediately threw his frustration to the back of his mind.
