Chapter 244 I actually offended the prince
Chapter 244 I actually offended the prince
Yu Ruyue was so angry that she instantly rose to her throat. She almost forgot that Shen Chou should be around 30 years old now. In ancient times, he could be a grandfather at this age!
He holds a high position, so it is impossible for him not to marry and take concubines.
Even in this world, he already has someone he wants to spend his life with. Otherwise, why would he embroider a woman's back on this screen? It's double-sided embroidery, and only when he goes around and rests on the bed inside can he see the woman's back.
What it means is self-evident...
Yu Ruyue was so angry that she wanted to go back. Whether they loved each other or not was none of her business.
But just as she was about to push the door back, she found that the bookshelf seemed to be seamlessly integrated, with no flaws at all. It seemed that she had to press a mechanism to go back.
Just as Yu Ruyue was trying to find a way back, there was a loud noise outside.
"Your Majesty! Please stop. The study ahead is my Lord's. He has instructed us that this is a restricted area of the mansion and no one is allowed to trespass. If you continue forward, we will not be able to bear the consequences if he blames us."
Yu Ruyue grumbled inwardly: I didn't expect he was actually a marquis. The forbidden area, where no one is allowed to enter, has that woman's silhouette embroidered on it! Ha! Man!
"Haha! Liuguang, you are truly the most loyal dog under Marquis Wu'an. I can't bear to kill you. Why don't you just follow me? I will make sure you have everything you need. That way, you won't have to worry every day about being betrayed by those around you."
"After all, I'm not a ruthless killer like your Lord. I don't have any enemies, and I don't beat or scold my subordinates."
When Yu Ruyue heard the word "Liuguang", a figure instantly flashed in her mind. She remembered that there seemed to be a mysterious guard beside Shen Zhiheng, named Liuguang.
Could it be that in this world, Liu Guang also follows him?
However, Shen Chou was indeed powerful. He single-handedly rose to the position of Marquis and even offended the Prince.
"Your Highness! If you continue forward, don't blame me for being rude."
Prince Jing laughed heartily, "Liuguang! Don't you dare refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit? Do you still want to be rude to me? Come on, take the knife and kill me, so that we can prove your master's crime of treason!"
Liuguang clenched his knife tightly and looked at Prince Jing angrily, "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. My master is loyal to His Majesty and would never commit treason. You are slandering the court officials like this. Aren't you afraid that my master will report you to His Majesty?"
Prince Jing was waved by the guards who followed him, and immediately someone brought out a chair from the next room. He smiled, touched the chair, and sat down. "Marquis Wu'an really knows how to enjoy life. Even the chairs in the side rooms are made of the finest golden nanmu wood. They sparkle in the sun. If you didn't know better, you would think he wanted to emulate Your Majesty and forge a pure gold dragon throne!"
"Your Majesty! Don't talk nonsense! The golden nanmu was also a gift from His Majesty."
Prince Jing sneered, "You keep calling me Your Majesty. Do you really think Your Majesty truly trusts Marquis Wu'an? If he did, he wouldn't have allowed me to come here when he learned that Marquis Wu'an was assassinated and dying!"
Liuguang and Anying both looked unhappy.
Prince Jing stared at the closed door behind them with a burning gaze. "Your master's body should be inside! You said your master is dead, so why are you two holding out here to the death? Even if you can hold out for a day, you can't hold out forever. Your master won't come back to life."
He waved to the people behind him again, "Go! Bring out to me the charges of Marquis Wu'an stealing the enemy and betraying the country. I want to see just how many dirty deeds that ruthless, mentally ill Marquis Wu'an has committed!"
"As ordered!"
The armored soldier bowed and accepted the order, then slowly approached the study in front.
Liuguang, Anying and the other injured guards all guarded the study door tightly.
If they are really allowed to go in, even if they have no crime, charges will be fabricated out of thin air.
The most important thing is that they will never let these people disturb the Marquis' rest!
Flowing Light and Shadow led people to fight with those who wanted to get close.
Prince Jing picked up the teacup handed to him by the guard beside him, took a sip, and looked at the flashing swords and sabers in front of him with great enjoyment. He sighed, "This Wu'an Marquis has good taste. The tea in his mansion is more delicious than other places."
"Oh, I heard he spent a lot of money a few days ago to buy all the floating brocade in Kyoto and put it in his mansion. He also got a lot of fruit and night-shining pearls from the emperor as tributes. When you leave, remember to find all these things and don't let others get them."
The fawning officials behind him immediately nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Marquis Wu'an is a traitor to his country and deserves death. You are the hero who stopped him from doing so. The things in this mansion should naturally belong to the hero. When we go to court tomorrow, we will ask His Majesty for your reward."
Prince Jing took another sip of tea, his face full of smiles. "Hahaha! Lord Huang, you must be joking. It is the duty of our subjects to share His Majesty's worries!"
Prince Jing and Lord Huang were chatting and laughing there, while Liuguang and his men were desperately guarding the door.
Yu Ruyue was pacing around in her room, her mind racing. Wasn't this a farming story she'd traveled through? Why had it suddenly turned into a palace intrigue? She'd only just arrived and hadn't even finished reading the good stuff, so why was Shen Chou already collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?
What on earth is going on? He's not like that.
However, this was the first time she had seen such a grand scene, and she suddenly didn't know what to do.
If she opened the door and went out now, she would be killed by Liu Guang's sword before she could even say a word! !
But if she didn't go out, someone would rush in soon according to the current progress. Even if she hid in the space, after Shen Chou was killed, she would never be able to return to her original world and see her parents again...
Damn it!
This is a dead end situation.
Damn Shen Chou, what's wrong with him? Did he pull me here just to let me die?
puff!
Blood splattered on the wooden door again.
She had clearly felt that Liuguang and the others were at the end of their strength and could not hold out for long.
All she could do now seemed to be to make people outside believe that Shen Chou was not dead...
So she gritted her teeth, went into the space first, quickly put on a bulletproof vest, tied crossbows on both arms, held an electric baton in her left hand, and poison in her right hand!
Just when Liuguang and Anying could no longer hold on, the door was kicked open and Yu Ruyue shouted, "Stop!"
