Li Fu thought thoughtfully, "Where is the prince?"
The servant said: "Today King Pingyang came to Beijing, and the prince went to the palace to accompany King Pingyang on the emperor's order."
Li Fu chuckled and said, "Go to the prince and say that Miss Zhao was kind enough to visit the princess, but she was beaten, scolded and insulted by the princess. This will be an attempted suicide, and all hope will be lost."
The servant was startled for a moment, then bowed his head and hurriedly went out to find Pei Xiuyan.
After the servant left, Li Fu looked at his swollen right face in the mirror. He clenched his teeth and slapped his right face hard several times. He didn't stop until his right face was as swollen as a mountain.
He looked in the mirror and seemed satisfied with how he looked now.
After tidying up his clothes a little, he took two servants to Zhao Yujiao's yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard bursts of crying inside.
He entered the room and saw Zhao Yujiao lying on the bed silently, her lips were pale, palm prints were obvious on her cheeks, and her eyes were red and swollen with tears. The right wrist was wrapped in gauze, and there was faint blood seeping out of it. I always feel inexplicably distressed.
Hongying lay beside the bed, crying and persuading.
Li Fudao: "Miss Hongying, can you please let me persuade Miss Zhao alone?"
Hongying turned around and was startled by Li Fu's incredibly swollen right face.
Thinking that Li Fu was also the one who was beaten and fell into the world, he might be able to comfort his master, so he nodded in agreement.
Li Fu stood and waited for Hongying to leave. After making sure that no one was in the room, he said:
"Miss Zhao, you are looking for life and death like this, I feel bad for the prince."
Zhao Yujiao recovered from her loss and turned to look at Li Fu. Feeling the love and compassion in his eyes, she suppressed her disgust towards him and said:
"Steward Li, I'm sorry. It was me who caused you to get beaten up. I didn't expect that I would offend my sister so much. After being humiliated like this today, I have no shame to live in this world. Please stop trying to persuade me. Let me Let’s go.”
The voice was as soft and soft as ever, not sad or angry, but with a heart-wrenching feeling of brokenness.
Her tears hung on her eyelashes, her eyelids drooped slightly, and the ends of her eyes were red.
Li Fu resisted the urge to wipe away her tears, gritted his teeth and said it clearly.
"Miss Zhao and the prince have always been in love with each other. It was the princess who fought for love that made Miss Zhao feel wronged. I have a plan..."
※
Hongying stood outside the house and was thinking that if Zhao Yujiao committed suicide like this, the prince would definitely punish the princess when he came back.
Before she could regain her senses, she saw Pei Xiuyan running towards the inner room with cold air, and she quickly followed him in.
Li Fuzheng was kneeling on the ground, crying so hard that he burst into tears.
"Miss Zhao, if you are really guilty of something, how will I explain it to the prince? If you really go, what will the prince do?"
Li Fu heard the voice behind him, turned around and saw Pei Xiuyan, kneeling forward and crying: "My lord, you are finally back."
Pei Xiuyan ignored Li Fu and opened the curtain in front of the bed. When he saw the obvious palm prints on Zhao Yujiao's face, he took a deep breath.
He gently touched Zhao Yujiao's face and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao, I'm back. How could you do something stupid?"
Zhao Yujiao buried her head in Pei Xiuyan's hand and sobbed softly.
"Your Majesty... I'm sorry... Your Majesty... it's all my fault... I have no shame in living in this world... I'm afraid I won't be able to be by your side anymore."
She cried until she was out of breath and couldn't speak complete words at all.
Pei Xiuyan looked at Hongying beside him, "Have you applied the medicine?"
Hongying nodded and said timidly: "Go back to your lord, I have already applied the medicine. The doctor said it is not serious for the time being, but the broken leg is injured again and it will be a little more troublesome to heal."
"Tell me everything that happened today!" Pei Xiuyan's deep voice contained uncontrollable anger.
Hearing this, Hongying bowed to the ground.
"Your Majesty! Miss Zhao said that something happened to the Ye family, and she was worried that the princess's health would not be able to hold on, so she ordered the slaves to push her to deliver Millennium Ginseng to the princess. Unexpectedly, the princess not only did not appreciate it, but also asked Bai Zhi to drive us away..."
Hongying seemed to recall terrible things, shaking as she spoke.
"Before I could push Miss Zhao away, Miss Bai Zhi suddenly overturned Miss Zhao's wheelchair to the ground. The servant couldn't see it, so she started fighting with Bai Zhi."
"Later, Butler Li went and taught Bai Zhi a lesson. The princess suddenly got angry and beat Butler Li, and then beat our girl Zhao."
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for our Miss Zhao. The princess beat and scolded her. Miss Zhao couldn't bear the humiliation. She almost died today..."
Although Hongying was shaking, she spoke in an orderly manner.
Pei Xiuyan clenched his fists and walked to Li Fu, who was kneeling on the ground. "Look up and let me see."
Li Fu wiped away his tears and raised his head to look at Pei Xiuyan, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
When he raised his head, Pei Xiuyan was shocked by the right side of his face.
Ye Chuyan actually beat Li Fu to such an old bone!
Seeing Pei Xiuyan's eyes getting darker and darker, Li Fu knew that the effect was achieved, and his old face wrinkled up in tears again.
"Unexpectedly, the old slave didn't expect that the princess beat the old slave and beat Miss Zhao again. The old slave was incompetent and failed to protect Miss Zhao. The old slave had no face to face the prince..."
Li Fu seemed to have made up his mind, "If I offend the princess today, I will definitely not have a good life in the future. My lord, please allow me to voluntarily retire and return to my hometown... I just want to spend my old age in peace..."
After saying that, he fell on the ground and cried so hard that he couldn't help himself.
Pei Xiuyan saw Hongying, Li Fu and Zhao Yujiao crying together, and felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.
He squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Okay! Ye Chuyan, very good!"
Bai Zhi contradicted him last time, and now she hits him. If Ye Chuyan wasn't injured, with her skill, she might be able to kill everyone with one palm.
Ye Chuyan, master and servant, is very good!
Pei Xiuyan leaned over and stroked the top of Zhao Yujiao's hair.
"Jiaojiao, stop crying. Promise me. No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to do anything to hurt yourself. I will take back all the injustices you suffered today."
Zhao Yujiao looked at Pei Xiuyan with foggy eyes, biting her lip and saying nothing.
Pei Xiuyan pinched his eyebrows. He was extremely angry, but calmed down.
"Li Fu, please bring a few good guards to bring the princess over. If the princess doesn't want to, she will be tied up. Lock Bai Zhi up in the woodshed and wait for the king to be punished."
Li Fu was ecstatic in his heart and did not dare to show it on his face. He only said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Ye Chuyan comforted Bai Zhi, drank the medicine and fell asleep.
Bai Zhi was lying next to Ye Chuyan's bed and was drowsy when she was awakened by the people Li Fu brought.
Li Fu said fiercely: "Take Bai Zhi away!"
Before Bai Zhi could figure out what was going on, she was dragged away by several guards who were like vicious dogs.
Ye Chuyan was awakened and asked: "Li Fu, who allowed you to take Bai Zhi away?"
Li Fu met Ye Chuyan's icy eyes, and for some reason, his arrogance instantly dropped.
"Princess, this is the order from the prince. The prince also invites you to go to Miss Zhao."
