Beauty and the Bodyguard

"calm down."

Ma Xiaozhu was full of confidence: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Have you heard this saying? I can guarantee that if we hide here, Lin Yi will never even think about it."

 Zhou Youshi thought for a while and finally agreed.

Ma Xiaozhu instantly felt that his conscience was condemned.

This person was so innocent that it was hard to bear to lie to her, but looking back, it would be unbearable if she didn't lie to such a person.

“Lin Yi won’t do anything to her anyway. Rather than letting her wander around outside, it’s better to send her to Lin Yi for safety.”

Ma Xiaozhu silently did a good job in psychological construction.

 However, when I saw the protagonist on stage, I was immediately stunned.

 This person is not Lin Yi at all!

Everyone present looked at each other in shock, but a few people reacted and knelt down in a hurry.

 “See Mr. Han Liu!”

Although the rest of the people had never seen the leader of Han, they knew after hearing this title that the person in front of them must be an important figure in Prince Han's palace, and they immediately knelt down together.

　　Previously, the Fishing Emperor alone had made them unable to lift their heads, but now they were even less temperamental when faced with the big shots in Prince Han's palace.

Ma Xiaozhu moved neatly among them.

However, Zhou Youshi stood upright next to him, suddenly standing out from the crowd.

Ma Xiaozhu was startled and quickly pulled her sleeves: "Kneel down quickly and lower your head, he is going to find you."

Zhou Youshi said firmly: "I am the eldest princess. I only kneel to the emperor and the queen, but not to anyone else, especially foreign ministers."

　　　…”

 Ma Xiaozhu complained secretly.

She was originally thinking of bringing Zhou Youshi to Lin Yi and taking the opportunity to see Lin Yi again. But now the person who came was not Lin Yi. As this person, he became the conspicuous person in the audience.

 How it will develop next is completely beyond her control.

Sure enough, Han Shou's eyes fell on Zhou Youshi, and his eyelids twitched immediately.

 The Chief of Han hurriedly walked over and knelt on one knee: "The Chief of the Han Dynasty, please see your Royal Highness the Princess!"

At this time, not only Ma Xiaozhu was dumbfounded, but the entire audience was also dumbfounded.

Ma Xiaozhu was stunned and subconsciously murmured: "Which family are you the eldest princess of?"

Even though the other party called herself the eldest princess when they met, she didn't take her seriously at all, let alone think about the inner royal court. She just thought she was the princess of some remote small country.

  After all, for high-level practitioners, the status of a princess is really not worth much.

  But if she is the eldest princess of the inner royal court, the weight is completely different.

The head of Han shouted in a deep voice: "How presumptuous! Who are you? How dare you talk to Her Royal Highness like this!"

Then a look was about to suppress Ma Xiaozhu.

Ma Xiaozhu was so frightened that she couldn't bear the pressure of such a big shot. She might even be crushed to pieces on the spot!

 Fortunately, Zhou Youshi spoke up in time: "It's okay, she is my good friend."

"yes."

　　The leader of Han then took back his pressure.

Ma Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Zhou Youshi gratefully. She felt secretly guilty in her heart. She had been holding back her idea to sell him to Lin Yi, but now she relied on him to save her life.

The leader of Han hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, why are you here?"    As soon as the Diaoyu Emperor's accident happened, as soon as the Han Palace received the news, he set off to Jinghai Fei without stopping. He knew nothing about the previous turmoil in the inner court.

Zhou Youshi was a little embarrassed: "I was caught fishing by Lin Yi."

 Han Shou: “…”

Any normal person would have the same reaction as him when hearing this kind of news.

The leader of the Han Dynasty immediately became furious: "This man is so brave. He dares to attack Her Royal Highness the Princess. He really doesn't know how to live or die! Your Highness the Princess will wait a moment. I will go and take his head now!"

 As he said that, he turned around and left.

Ma Xiaozhu was anxious and said quickly: "Lin Yi just caught her accidentally, doesn't he necessarily have any bad intentions?"

Han Shou glanced at her: "Do you have the right to speak here?"

"I…"

Ma Xiaozhu suddenly didn't dare to say anything, and could only look at Zhou Youshi for help.

Zhou Youshi thought for a while and said, "Although Lin Yi fished me here, other than that, he really didn't do anything too extreme. Maybe there was some misunderstanding."

The head of Han frowned when he heard this: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, knows people but not their hearts. Even if Lin Yi did not commit other worse crimes, just for luring you, eldest princess, to the Jinghai Enclave, this alone is already a crime." capital offense!"

 “This matter concerns the majesty of the royal court, and there is no room for carelessness in humble positions!”

Zhou Youshi was helpless. She didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this.

She escaped from Lin Yi, and she was indeed a little afraid of Lin Yi, but to say that she believed Lin Yi was heinous because of this was really not true.

Seeing that the leader of Han was going to kill Lin Yi with great aura, Zhou Youshi was anxious and wise, and said quickly: "This matter will be discussed later. Han Qing has summoned so many people, so there must be other things, but business is more important."

Hou Han hesitated for a moment, and saw that although everyone present was kneeling on the ground, seemingly submissive, in fact they were all communicating with each other, and the whole place was full of gossip spirits.

“Then please wait a moment, Your Highness the Princess.”

With a look, someone immediately came forward respectfully and invited Zhou Youshi to the back hall.

Ma Xiaozhu had quick eyesight and quickly got up to follow.

Han Shou looked down at the audience coldly and said calmly: "Who dares to go out and talk nonsense about today's matter and destroy the nine tribes?"

The tone was calm, but it made the whole audience feel horrified.

 Everyone buried their heads lower.

The leader of Han continued: "The second thing is that the Diaoyu Emperor is dead and the position of the number one person in the Jinghai Enclave cannot be left vacant. You nominate a few people and report it to us, the King of Han, to decide personally."

Everyone was stunned, and after a moment of reaction, they all looked happy.

Previously, they all thought that the position of number one had to be Lin Yi. After all, it was Lin Yi who personally killed the Diaoyu Emperor. In essence, although the Jinghai Enclave was the back garden of Prince Han's Mansion, the stronger was still respected after all.

 But now that Han Shou's words came out, it not only meant that Lin Yi was destined to be removed, but it also meant that their opportunity had come.

Leader Han paused for a moment and spoke again: "The third thing, remember this sentence, there is only one family that can make you kneel down, and that is our Prince Han's Mansion. If anyone's knees are weak and he kneels down to other families, the Jinghai Enclave will not There is no place for him to stand."

 Everyone responded in unison.

 “dispersed.”

Han Shou did not hesitate, turned around and came to the back hall.

Zhou Youshi was chatting with Ma Xiaozhu about Lin Yi. Seeing him come in, she immediately said impatiently: "Han Qing, can you contact the inner court now? The Queen Mother's birthday will be in a few days, and I want to go back early to prepare."

Although after Ma Xiaozhu's repeated persuasion, she had come to the conclusion that Lin Yi did not have any ill intentions toward her, she still felt a little uneasy after all and hoped to return to the inner court as soon as possible.
