auspicious time has come

Chapter 196 You seem to be inseparable from me

Hengyu walked along with the envoy of the East Palace, and while they were chatting on the road, the envoy talked about Princess Jiayi's childhood fun.

Hengyu laughed again and again, when passing a garden, suddenly there was a voice: "Ms. Ji seems to be in a good mood tonight."

Following these words, a figure came out from behind a rockery in front of him.

Hengyu's face tightened, and she took a step back subconsciously, looking at the other party.

There are stone lamps not far away in the garden, the sight is not too dim, and the frivolous voice alone is enough for Hengyu to identify the identity of the visitor——

"I've seen the King of Hedong." Hengyu lowered her eyes slightly, and put up her whole body on guard.

The same goes for the female envoy beside her.

King Hedong walked over, reeking of alcohol: "Ms. Ji still remembers Xiao Wang."

As he spoke, he smiled and stretched out his hand towards Hengyu: "Miss Ji, what are you doing with your head down, quickly raise your head and let me have a look..."

Heng Yu frowned and avoided that hand: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."

The King of Hedong smiled instead of anger, as if he was very happy: "In front of the person you like, what do you want to do with your self-respect? I just invited Mrs. Ji to the side hall, and it is said that Mrs. Ji declined, so I hurriedly copied the passage. , came here specially to wait for Mrs. Ji... I have put so much painstaking effort into this, can't it be that I can't win a smile from Lady Ji?"

Heng Yu felt like gagging: "It seems that the prince is drunk."

"This king is not drunk." Heng Yu of the Hedong Dynasty approached, smiled again and stretched out his hand.

Seeing this, the female envoy of the Eastern Palace stepped forward to stop Hengyu, and reminded her solemnly: "This is in the palace, the King of Hedong still needs to be restrained—"

King Hedong's complexion sank, and he said "Pooh": "What are you, you dare to teach this king how to do things?"

Heng Yu grabbed the female envoy's wrist and whispered "Go".

Experience told her that it is not advisable to entangle and conflict with such people head-on, and the best thing to do is to get out as soon as possible.

However, just as she and the female envoy turned around to leave the place, two guards suddenly appeared beside them, blocking their way.

The maid's complexion changed.

According to the palace rules, the prince can bring two people with him when he enters the palace.

The two guards approached them, King Hedong walked up to Hengyu from the other side, and grabbed her wrist: "Miss Ji, don't be ungrateful, this king's patience is not as strong as you imagined." -"

Seeing this, the female envoy immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Come on! Come on!"

The King of Hedong's complexion was extremely serious, and he motioned for the guards to step forward and restrain the envoy.

The envoy's face sank like water: "Mistress Ji is the teacher whom His Highness the Crown Prince invited into the palace for Princess Jiayi. I am the first-class envoy of the Eastern Palace. King Hedong behaved like this, so I dare to ask why he regards the palace rules!"

"So what?" King Hedong laughed, and he tightened his grip on Hengyu's wrist: "Could it be possible that His Royal Highness will blame me, my cousin, for a mere little lady? Proof, it's not the king she seduced by tricks?"

Speaking of this, his laughter became even louder: "It's a joke that you dare to yell, you lowly maidservant, so this king promised you to yell, the louder the better! Who was the one whose reputation was ruined?"

Said, a face moved closer to Hengyu, pursed his lips and said: "Miss Ji, what do you think?"

Heng Yu looked at him calmly: "What is the prince's intention?"

"The scenery here is quite beautiful. Of course, this king wants to spend a good night with Mrs. Ji." The King of Hedong slowed down his voice, squinted his eyes and said, "If Mrs. Ji is interested, I don't mind your past reputation. It is detrimental, I would like to accept you as a concubine and enter the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth. If I can make this king happy, your only elder brother will certainly benefit, if you don’t know how to play..."

He exhaled hot alcohol into Hengyu's ear, and said in a low voice: "Then don't blame me for not knowing how to pity and cherish jade."

"I don't know if the prince has ever heard a word?"

"Oh, what are you talking about? Mrs. Ji, come and tell me——"

"Wicked man—" Heng Yu suddenly raised his foot and kicked him in the crotch heavily: "He died of talking too much."

King Hedong screamed in pain, bent down involuntarily, and Hengyu took the opportunity to sprinkle a handful of lime powder that he just took out of his sleeve at his face.

"My lord!" The two guards were shocked when they saw this, and hurried over.

Heng Yu turned around and grabbed the envoy's wrist: "Run!"

"Stop them! Stop that bitch for me!" King Hedong was in so much pain that he couldn't take care of himself, his eyes were burning with lime powder, tears were streaming down his face, and he said through gritted teeth, "We must not let her run away!"

The guards didn't dare to take him into consideration when they heard the words, and immediately went to chase Hengyu and the two of them.

Just when one of them was about to reach out to grab Hengyu, the next moment, he was suddenly kicked several steps away, fell heavily to the ground, and screamed out.

Before Hengyu had time to react, someone came to protect him behind him.

Seeing that the person was wearing a first-grade purple robe and possessed extraordinary skills, the other guard didn't dare to step forward for a moment.

"Dingbeihou...?!" King Hedong, who could barely open his eyes, walked over, saw who was coming, and then glanced at the guard who was kicked to the ground by the other party, and couldn't help gritted his teeth: "Who gave your dog?" Daredevil, whoever dares to touch this king!"

Xiao Mu's tone was calm but with a hint of coldness: "Since the King of Hedong is drunk, he should go back to his residence to rest, instead of making troubles in the palace for no reason—"

"What did you say!" King Hedong laughed back angrily, drunkenness welled up, and it was hard to hide the anger in his eyes: "Xiao Mu, you are just a dog raised by our Li family, how dare you attack your master like this!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his finger to Hengyu who was beside Xiao Mu: "This bitch seriously injured me, and I'm going to take him down to deal with it! I advise you to do your duty as a dog, don't meddle in other people's business, Ask for trouble!"

Xiao Mu looked at him coldly: "If I have to take care of this matter, what should I do—"

"The surname is Xiao... I think you are seeking death on purpose!" King Hedong was completely enraged, he took out a dagger from under his robe, and stabbed towards Xiao Mu suddenly.

Heng Yu's pupils shrank: "Be careful! He has a dagger in his hand!"

The expressions of the female envoy beside her and the eunuch who was leading the way for Xiao Mu also changed greatly when they saw this—how could there be a dagger!

Xiao Mu didn't move, nor did he hide, he just raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of Hedong King.

As soon as he exerted a little force, the man who usually only knows how to indulge in drinking and sex was immediately relieved of his strength, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

"You...!" The King of Hedong, who was still gripped by Xiao Mu's wrist, was so painful that a layer of sweat immediately broke out on his forehead: "Presumptuous! How dare you offend me! Let me go! What are you two wastes doing! Quickly take him down for this king!"

Heng Yu looked at the two guards who were about to step forward, and asked in a fixed voice: "Are you also wanting to rebel?"

The guard's complexion suddenly changed.

"What nonsense are you bitch!" King Hedong glared at her viciously: "This is the palace! You are the ones who want to rebel if you dare to attack me!"

Hengyu bent down to pick up the dagger, only to see that the hilt was inlaid with gemstones, and the back of the knife had a word "Jin" written on it.

Therefore, she 'reminded': "Anyone who enters the palace, no matter who they are, must lay down their swords. Anyone who enters the palace with a sharp weapon, no matter whether it is intentional or negligent, will be punished as a crime of disrespect. Clan prince, you shouldn’t even know this rule, right?”

The faces of the two guards were already pale.

After the King of Hedong's face froze, he still couldn't see the guilty look, and he sneered coldly: "I really don't know what it means! The so-called rules are just used to restrain your lowly servants! I am a descendant of the Li family, and you are the only one who rations me. Is the king condemned!"

Xiao Mu tilted his head slightly, and looked at the eunuch standing behind him: "Did this father-in-law hear clearly the words of King Hedong?"

The eunuch restrained himself and said seriously: "Return to Jieshi Xiao, our family has heard clearly."

Xiao Mu: "Then Mr. Lao will tell the saint exactly what he said."

The inner supervisor bowed his head: "Yes."

King Hedong's eyes changed, and he struggled violently.

Xiao Mu grabbed his wrist and walked forward.

"Xiao, what do you want to do to this king!"

The King of Hedong couldn't break free, and was staggered by Xiao Mu and dragged to the side of the rockery.

Behind the rockery is a pond.

Xiao Mu let go of Hedong King's wrist.

The King of Hedong gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, and was kicked into the pond by Xiao Mu.

"thump!"

The sound of falling into the water sounded, and King Hedong struggled in the water, raised his head with difficulty, gasping for breath, and said, "Xiao Mu...you have the guts of a bear, and dare to openly murder this king!"

"The King of Hedong will have to meet the Holy Spirit later. If he is so drunk, it would be inappropriate if he bumps into the Holy Driver." Xiao Mu looked at the man struggling up and down in the water, and said, "I just want the Lord to sober up, why not?" Let's talk about murder."

"you……"

"Save the king!"

"Hurry up and save the king!"

King Hedong's scolding quickly turned into a cry for help.

The two panicked guards didn't dare to watch any more when they saw this, and rushed forward to get people into the water.

The King of Hedong understands the nature of water, and Xiao Mu knows this very well.

At this time, it was just because of being drunk and frightened that he needed help from others.

The movement here attracted several officials and female family members who passed by the palace, and they couldn't help being surprised when they saw that King Hedong was fished out of the water like a soaked chicken.

"This physical evidence is handed over to the father-in-law." Heng Yu handed the dagger to the inner eunuch.

The inner supervisor dared not take it carelessly.

"Miss Ji was shocked today. Afterwards, the maidservant will report this matter to His Highness and the Crown Princess, and will give Lady Ji an explanation..." The envoy, who thought she had failed to protect Hengyu well, said with a guilty expression on her face.

"Sister Yuejian was also shocked." Heng Yu glanced at the dagger held in the inner eunuch's hand, and said, "I just need to trouble Sister Yuejian to go with this father-in-law and go to His Majesty to explain what happened—"

She didn't suffer any disadvantages tonight, and she didn't expect the emperor to deal with him because of the frivolous words of King Hedong, but it was the truth that Xiao Mu made a move on King Hedong. All right.

The female envoy called Yue Jian nodded knowingly, but said with some hesitation: "How can Miss Ji go out of the palace alone? Why don't you wait for the servant girl to find someone to guide you—"

"No need." Heng Yu looked at Xiao Mu who was walking over from the lotus pond: "I will just go with Dingbeihou."

The female envoy subconsciously looked over, thought for a while, and then nodded.

Dingbeihou is a good man who helps out.

At this time, two patrolling guards passed by, and the inner prisoner holding a dagger explained the matter in a low voice.

The guard's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Let's go." Xiao Mu didn't intend to pay any more attention to staying.

He doesn't care about how the emperor will deal with Li Jin, and he doesn't need to care.

Heng Yu nodded and left here together with him.

"Xiao Mu, you wait for me!"

Behind him came the roar of the King of Hedong.

Hearing this sound, Heng Yu turned her head to look at Xiao Mu, but saw that he didn't respond at all, his profile was immersed in the night so she couldn't see his expression clearly.

The next moment, the hand in her sleeve was gently grasped by him and held tightly.

The two walked relatively quickly, and there was no one else around at this time.

"Just after the banquet was over, the King of Xiang was drunk and pestered me to say something, so it was delayed, otherwise he would have caught up with you faster."

Heng Yu could hear a hint of regret and fear in his voice.

"Not afraid, not afraid." Heng Yu held his hand instead, and comforted him: "I didn't suffer."

Xiao Mu turned his head to look at her: "Since he stopped you here, he had a plan long ago, why didn't you mention that this person treats you maliciously before—"

If he knew, he would be more prepared so that she would not be frightened by this.

"It's been a while since I saw him last time, and I've only seen him once. Besides...we're not just..." Heng Yu said in a low voice, "Before then, I couldn't figure it out. ran to you and told you, did someone speak frivolously to me?"

"Why not?" Xiao Mu held her hand tighter: "In the future, no matter who you are or what you do, if there is any possibility that it will be disadvantageous to you, please remember to tell me."

"You don't need to remind me. Since you are my person, then I will make the best use of everything in the future."

Hearing a hint of a smile in her voice, Xiao Mu looked at her: "You can still laugh—"

Knowing that he was worried about herself, Heng Yu stopped, raised her other hand and patted his head: "Okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, isn't it all right?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help laughing out loud, turned his gaze away slightly, and said helplessly, "Okay, don't be a good boy."

"Let's go, someone is coming." Heng Yu took his hand and led him forward.

The two walked for a while, she lowered her voice and said: "Your attitude today can be regarded as offending King Hedong to death, so are you not afraid of his revenge in the future?"

"Revenge—" Xiao Mu said, "He doesn't have the ability."

This person has no real power in his hands, no courage and no strategy, and he always talks about Li's surname, which is even more incompetent.

As for the so-called being valued by the emperor, it is actually just a chess piece in the emperor's eyes, and it is a chess piece that is not looked down upon.

Seeing that he seemed to know the details of the other party very well, Heng Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "If I had known this, I would have been more serious just now."

"Get off?" Xiao Mu suddenly thought of the embarrassing look of King Caihe who had his legs pinched from time to time, and after a moment of silence, he said, "...very good."

After a while, he couldn't help asking: "However, you still bring lime powder into the palace with you?"

"It's neither a blade nor a poison. Who said you can't bring lime powder into the palace?"

"It makes sense." Xiao Mu looked forward: "But do you recognize the way to the palace?"

"Of course, I have a photographic memory, and I can walk out with my eyes closed."

Xiao Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Strange to say, as long as I'm with her, all roads seem to be easier to walk.

Even if you encounter unpleasant things, even if you are in a dark predicament, you can always cheer up, not indulge in emotions, and feel that the future can be expected.

"Aheng—"

"Ok?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Mu looked forward, the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed: "I just want to call you."

"Xiao Jingshi." Heng Yu turned his head and pretended to look at him seriously: "You seem to be inseparable from me..."

Xiao Mu wasn't afraid of being at a disadvantage, and didn't deny it: "Then I won't leave."

"That depends on your performance."

"Understood." Xiao Mu held her hand and said seriously: "I will behave well."

The person who said this sentence didn't realize that at this moment, he looked like a big obedient wolfhound.

……

On the other side, the drowned King Hedong was quickly brought before the emperor.

The emperor had just finished taking the medicine, and the prince and Princess Yongyang were also there at the moment.
