Chapter 87: Found on the Road?!
least he wouldn't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter, or transportation, and it would be safer. He didn't know if Rui Tianling would help him find that corner. Forget it, at least this was an...Mu Jinjiao's whole body started to tense up...
The man walked closer and closer, finally stopping in front of her, then bending down…
A warm cloak slowly draped over her...
Mu Jin was surprised to see the man kneeling in front of her.
"Miss, are you alright" The man looked at her with concern.
Mùjǐn Jiāo didn't speak, she just quietly sized up the man. Unfortunately, he was always backlit, making it hard to see his features clearly...
"Miss, I apologize for the intrusion, but might I ask your maiden name" the man behind her inquired with a heavy dose of caution.
"Watson, behave yourself!"
But…
That man shook his head at the man named Huasheng. Huasheng had no choice but to swallow the words he was about to say, but he still watched the woman on the ground with guarded eyes.
This woman is definitely not a kind person. Just looking at the murderous aura she just revealed, you know that there must be quite a few lives on her hands... The Second Prince is an ordinary scholar who doesn't know much about society and is very kind-hearted. Now that he is so close to this woman, something terrible could happen...
Huasheng stared at the woman on the ground, worried and wary.
"Miss, you don't have to be afraid, he is my guard. If there is any offense in his words, please forgive him."
Mu Jinjiao glanced at the man named Huasheng behind her... His lower body was steady, his waist was flexible, and his hands were thicker than average... It seemed that this person's martial arts were very powerful, and he should be incredibly strong...
"Miss, are you alright" Seeing the woman before him only wearing a thin inner garment, with her other clothes scattered on the ground, Ruitianju naturally thought that this poor woman must have been assaulted.
Jian Mujin said nothing, her face was pale and her lips were bleeding. This only strengthened Ruitianju's suspicions.
"Young lady, don't be afraid. If you have any difficulties, please tell me, and I will help you!" Ruitianzhu looked at her sincerely.
I will help you… The words flowed through Mu Jinjiao's body like a warm current...
But then she thought about it…Heh heh…Mu Jin chuckled self-deprecatingly…
Can you help me How can you help me Can you help me kill my father's murderer Can you help me find my sister who has been missing for many years Can you save me from the fire pit
No, you can't... You're just a weak scholar. Though you have passion burning in your heart, you lack the necessary skills... How can you possibly help me like this
Mu Jinjiao felt the man's breath in front of her, knowing he had no martial arts, and she let down her guard.
Jian Mu Jin's delicate figure merely curved the corners of her lips, but she didn't believe him. Rui Tian Ju said, "Miss, I am Rui Wang Chao's second prince—Rui Tian Ju. If you have any difficulties, this prince will surely do what he can to help."
>
Mu Jinjiao raised her eyes to look at him, just about to speak, when a lot of chaotic footsteps came from outside.
"I bow to the Two Kings!"
"Get up!" Ruitianju shielded Mu Jinjiao behind him.
"Greetings, Second King!"
Those guards, holding torches, exchanged glances as they watched the Second Prince kneeling on the ground.
"May I ask, Your Honors, what brings you here in the dead of night"
"My business is none of your concern! What are you doing here"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. My subordinates have been ordered by the Emperor to search for the assassins in Tian Du..."
"Assassin! What about Father Emperor"
"The assassin was discovered upon entering the palace, so the Emperor remained unharmed. The Emperor has ordered a thorough investigation into tonight's assassination attempt. Your Highness, as well as myself, are also obligated to assist in this matter. I would like to ask your Highness, what were you doing here..."
Second Prince Shu let out a breath: "This prince is admiring the moonlight here. The view from this angle is the most beautiful. Since Father Emperor has nothing to do, then this prince can rest assured. You all go search elsewhere. This prince has been here the whole time and haven't seen any assassins. I presume the assassin must be hiding somewhere."
The guards looked at each other, all saying that the Second Prince loved poetry and song most. He often went out in search of inspiration for poems in the middle of the night. It seems true, but they didn't know if he was doing so tonight as well... Alas, it doesn't matter. They were just subordinates, and he was the prince. How could they disobey his orders So the guards could only say, "We obey your command!"
"If you catch the assassin, this king will reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The guards began patrolling elsewhere again.
As soon as the guards disappeared into the distance with their torches, Prince Rui turned back to face Mu Jinjiao. "Miss, please forgive my rudeness," he said. "With your current attire, if more people saw you, it might damage your reputation..."
It turned out he was shielding her because he cared about her reputation...
Mu Jinjiao was slightly moved……
"Miss, I don't know where you live. Allow me to send you back!" Rui Tianzhu helped Mu Jinjiao up and said.
"General's Residence!" Mu Jinjiao struggled to whisper the three words, her eyelids growing heavier, the scene before her blurring...
"Girl, are you alright You weren't hurt by the palace assassins just now, were you"
“He hurt me… he called…” Mu Jinjiao’s words were cut off before she fainted into Ruitian Ju’s arms.
"Miss Miss You just said you lived at the General's Residence, right The General Mu's Residence Miss Miss, wake up..." Rui Tianqu patted Mu Jinjiao in his arms.
"My lord, she seems to have fainted..." Hua Sheng looked at Mu Jinjiao and said.
"Huh Then what should we do, this... it's past midnight... a lone man and woman... if word gets out, it could damage her reputation..." Ruitianju was at a loss.
"Forget it, I can't worry about so many worldly rules and etiquette! This king doesn't know which General's Mansion she's talking about. What if I send her to the wrong place and harm her It's better to bring her back to my palace first. I'll send her back when she wakes up." Rui Tianju carried Mu Jinjiao onto his back.
"My lord, leave this trivial matter to me!" Huasheng worried that Mu Jinjiao might take advantage of the Second Prince's unpreparedness and harm him.
"Nothing's wrong, just a girl. This king can still carry her."
Ruitianju just like that carried Mu Jinjiao back to the Second Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, who is this" The steward saw the Second Prince bring a woman back for the first time ever. He hurried forward and saw that the woman was lying on the Second Prince's back, her eyes closed and she seemed weak and lifeless. He couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Butler, call two maids who are good at keeping secrets to help her with a wash and tidy up. Also, summon the doctor from the mansion to check on her, she fainted after being injured."
"Huh Injured And what about the Prince How is the Prince"
"This King is unhindered!"
"That's good, that's good! Your Highness, this young lady is…"
"Um... this king doesn't know her given name. I found her on the roadside!" Rui Tianyu said a little awkwardly....
Unexpectedly, he brought back an unknown woman to the palace... Hmph, what a disgrace to scholars!
"Eh! Found on the roadside!" The butler stared dumbfoundedly at the Rui Tian Zhu...ir faces and small gifts in hand, looked at Su Wenhao.Su Wenhao bowed, holding the box and slowly walked toward the Fifth Prince's Mansion..."You said the Fifth Prince will meet young Master Su, right...
