If you don’t cherish the love we wear quickly, why are you crying if you change your mind?

Chapter 31 She quits being a substitute (31)

Jiang Miao exerted some force and said, "Master Xiao, please let go."

"How dare you take this king's debt?" Xiao Yi saw her clearly. She was wearing a long coral dress and a white cloak, which made her more delicate and agile.

Jiang Miao understood instantly that he was here to collect debts.

She said loudly, "How do you want me to pay it back?"

In the silence of winter, the atmosphere in the palace gradually changed.

Every time Xiao Yi took a step forward, she stepped back. However, one hand was held by him, and she had no way to hide. She was soon trapped in front of a vermilion pillar in the hall.

Jiang Miao was stopped by his long legs, and her eyes were locked with him.

Xiao Yi was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at her reaction with deep eyes.

Instead, he lowered his head slightly, letting his breath fall slowly on her ear, and watched the roots of her ears turn red.

Seeing that she didn't dare to breathe, she said urgently, "Xiao Yi!"

This call made Xiao Yi raise his head, pull away his legs slightly, and then his fierce face softened, and a smile even appeared on his brows.

"Master Xiao, you don't even call me anymore?"

Jiang Miao raised her eyes to face him. If he were a zombie, he would have been shot in the head by her at such a close distance!
  What is Mr. Xiao called?

A regent is a regent.

He is fierce and domineering, but he is not as gentle as a young master.

"If I call you Mr. Xiao, will you let me go?"

"You have a high position and you can have any noble girl you want. I'm just a country girl."

A woman who truly hopes for a good life will never want to seek wealth and power and be related to the regent.

Jiang Miao thinks her performance is pretty good.
  Xiao Yi looked at her lips and said something about defaulting on debts, and suddenly felt funny.

"You're right."

Jiang Miao nodded.

"Yes, you deserve better."

Xiao Yi responded, "Miss Jiang is humble, I think you are very good."

Jiang Miao simply stopped doing Tai Chi and said bluntly: "But I don't think it's suitable for you."

"Whether it's a maid or a concubine."

Xiao Yi heard her clear rejection and immediately stepped back a distance.

The shadow suddenly receded, and Jiang Miao saw Xiao Yi's eyes getting sharper.

He stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes falling on her face, "Now that I have brought you back, can you still escape?"

Jiang Miao sighed, raised his face slightly and asked, "It's fine to pledge yourself to save your life. But do I know why you want to do this? Don't you dislike women?"

Xiao Yi laughed angrily, "When did I say that I don't like women?"

Jiang Miao groaned, "The rumor is that the regent is not close to women, and there is not a single concubine in the palace, not even a maid who is close to him."

"That's right." Xiao Yi nodded slightly, "I will not give anyone a chance to assassinate you."

"There are many people in this world who want me to die."

"If that's the case, why do you still need me?" Jiang Miao asked in confusion.

Xiao Yi's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, then he put his hands behind his hands and looked out the door, "I don't need any reason for what I do."

"This is what you owe me. I have said that I will never do anything at a loss."

Jiang Miao stopped speaking. At this time, he was just interested in a stunning beauty.

See the color and start.

Those who treat others with sex will show love when sex fades, and when love relaxes, kindness will be cut off.

While she was thinking, Xiao Yi walked up to her quietly and asked:

"Are you married?"

Jiang Miao shook his head.

"Already have a man you love?"

"No."

Xiao Yi locked his eyes with her, "Just concentrate on paying off the debt."    ……

After the confrontation with Xiao Yi that day, Jiang Miao was arranged by him to live in the Regent's Mansion.

The palace steward led several maids over the next day and said respectfully: "Miss Jiang, there have been no maids in the palace before. These are the newly recruited maids. How many of them will you choose to keep with you?"

Jiang Miao glanced at the little girls with simple eyes, who must have been selected in advance, and said, "Housekeeper, please make arrangements."

She didn't plan to stay there permanently anyway.

The housekeeper Wangfeng Xi pointed out that this Miss Jiang was the only woman that the prince brought back to the house. He would never dare to neglect her, so he obeyed and stopped disturbing her.

Jiang Miao saw no sign of Xiao Yi. Seeing that the palace was so big and had nothing to do, he walked around casually.

In such a huge palace, the most common people you see are the guards on duty. With so many people guarding you, it seems that Xiao Yi is very afraid of being assassinated.

After wandering for an unknown amount of time, she saw Xiao Yi, who had changed out of his court clothes and was wearing a black brocade robe with moiré patterns, walking over.

He said with a half-smile, "Have you found an escape route?"

Jiang Miao didn't answer, and simply sat with him at the stone table in the courtyard, pouring tea and drinking it.

After putting down the tea cup, he asked, "When can I go back."

"It's easy for this huge royal palace to open a medicine house for you." Xiao Yi's intention was obvious and he would not let anyone go.

"If you are not satisfied, the entire Regent's Palace can be arranged as you wish."

Jiang Miao was a little annoyed. Seeing his composure, she subconsciously joked.

"Your Majesty is so generous, why not give me the entire Zhao Kingdom."

Although many people scolded him for saying that Sima Zhao's heart was known to everyone, but this was the first time someone dared to say such a thing so blatantly.

Xiao Yi was not annoyed, his expression was as usual, and he just said in deep thought: "Then it depends on whether you can afford the price."

Jiang Miao: "..." It's better not to give up. She has to pledge herself to save her life. If she goes into debt again, she is afraid that her life will not be saved.
  ……

Although she had moved to another place to live, Jiang Miao was not used to it. After all, during the last days, she often slept in the open and had no fixed place to live.

I slept very peacefully in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and I didn't even have a single dream.

When she woke up one morning, she suddenly heard the sound of the system going online.

"Xiao 9, aren't you a mature leader? Why do you keep getting disconnected recently?"

System 009: Host, the system is being optimized and upgraded, and it is normal to be offline occasionally.

Jiang Miao didn't want to argue with it, so she quickly inquired about Zhao Rui's situation while it was online.

As soon as she finished speaking, a screen appeared in front of her, and Zhao Rui's figure appeared on it.

Looking at the picture, it looks like I am in a study room.

Zhao Ruigang finished discussing with his staff and found that Feng Yu was missing.

"Where is Feng Yu?"

"I heard that he was seriously ill in Gaotang. He asked for leave and went back to take care of his illness. He will be back tomorrow."

Although Zhao Rui was anxious to know the news about Jiang Miao, he had no clues before, so he was no longer anxious to wait for this day.

At the same time, in the martial arts training ground of the Prince Regent's Palace, the sound of arrows stabbing into the target continued to be heard.

The slender man was aiming his bow and arrow at the target in the distance. Kneeling in the large martial arts field was a trembling, frail middle-aged man. This man was Feng Yu.

Feng Yu couldn't figure out why he was suddenly taken away by the people from the Regent's Palace. Seeing Xiao Yi's posture, he knelt down subconsciously.

"Master Xiao, I wonder what you want from me?"

Xiao Yi didn't even turn around at all, his eyes were always on the target.

Feng Yu looked at his back and broke into a cold sweat in the cold winter.

After a long while, Xiao Yi spoke.

"Why did Zhao Rui send you to find Jiang Miao?"
