Chapter 1653 Chitose-sama (5)
Chuzheng happened to hear what Princess Chang Huan said.
She looked over to Princess Chang Huan. The little girl pouted, with displeasure written all over her face.
Zhu Dongfeng rarely shows up recently, probably because he is afraid of encountering any 'supernatural' events again.
Several monks were coming here carrying things. The things were heavy and big, so Princess Chang Huan took the initiative to avoid them.
At this moment, a cold light flashed next to him.
"ah!"
One of the palace maids caught a glimpse of the cold light first, probably out of reflex, and screamed out.
Over there, a woman dressed in ordinary clothes held a dagger and stabbed Princess Chang Huan.
The woman jumped down from the next step and was very close to Princess Chang Huan.
"Princess, be careful!"
The person closest to Princess Chang Huan pushed her directly.
The woman's first attack failed.
"Catch the assassin!!"
"Come on, catch the assassin!"
"Guard! Protect the princess!"
Various voices sounded at the same time, and the woman made a fierce move, kicked the person in the way away, and grabbed Princess Chang Huan's arm.
Princess Chang Huan had probably learned some kung fu, and when she was caught by the assassin, she immediately kicked the target with her feet.
It's a pity that her three-legged cat skills are no match for the assassin.
Stab——
The sharp dagger cut through the fabric on Princess Chang Huan's arm, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.
Princess Chang Huan stumbled and fell down the steps at the back.
"Princess--"
If she fell like this, Princess Chang Huan felt that her appearance would be disfigured.
She doesn't want to lose her appearance! ! !
Princess Chang Huan closed her eyes in fear.
However, the pain she imagined did not come, and she was supported by others...
Princess Chang Huan opened her eyes and saw a very beautiful face. The owner of this face was looking at her with cold eyes and holding her waist with one hand.
If it were a man, this picture would definitely be a standard hero saving a beauty pose.
"Have you seen enough?"
Princess Chang Huan blinked, her pale face looked very pitiful.
Chuzheng's tone was cold: "Stop when you've seen enough. My clothes are stained."
Princess Chang Huan: "!!!"
Princess Chang Huan struggled to stand firm. She had just received a cut on her arm and blood was oozing from it.
The girl who rescued her was also stained red.
Glancing at the blood stains on the clothes, I felt not so good. I had to change clothes...it was so annoying.
The assassin over there has already rushed down.
The result of Chuzheng's bad mood was——
The assassin was beaten to the ground.
Chuzheng looked down at the assassin and found that the man looked familiar.
It seemed to be the young woman who sat with her back to them when they were eating that day.
She left early, and Chuzheng caught a glimpse of her at that time.
Although he had disguised himself, Chu Zheng thought it was the same person.
At this moment, he was staring at Chuzheng with splitting eyes, as if he thought Chuzheng was meddling in other people's business.
The person rushing over from the side interrupted Chu Zheng and the assassin's gaze.
"Princess, are you okay?"
"bleeding."
"Call the imperial doctor quickly."
"Where have you gone, sir?"
The scene was chaotic. Princess Chang Huan was surrounded by people. After feeling dizzy for a while, when she looked for the person just now, there was no one there.
-
When Princess Chang Huan was injured, Zhu Dongfeng was nowhere to be seen. This incident will definitely be regarded as Zhu Dongfeng's dereliction of duty in the end.
Sure enough, people from the imperial court came over the next day.
Chuzheng watched from a distance as a large number of people came in from outside the temple.
The leading man was tall, with gorgeous clothes, and a cloak. He walked in the wind, and the cloak was raised, making him look quite imposing.
Jinzhi stood next to Chuzheng and said proactively: "That is the biggest eunuch in the Xia Dynasty, Yin Shen."
"Eunuch?" Chuzheng raised an eyebrow.
Eunuchs are usually either chubby or too skinny. Why does this man look so good?
Not like a eunuch, but more like a prince.
Jinzhi: "The eunuchs are now in power in the Xia Dynasty, and the emperor is just a puppet."
Chuzheng had vaguely heard about it, but because it had little to do with her, she didn't pay much attention to it.
The emperor of the Xia Dynasty was fatuous and incompetent, and he would not go to court for ten days and a half.
At first, the power of the eunuchs was not so great, but the emperor trusted Yin Shen beside him.
Gradually, the eunuchs gained more and more power.
In the end, Yin Shen took over the power and turned the emperor into a puppet, becoming the largest eunuch leader in the dynasty.
Yin Shen is cunning, moody, and cruel. He is truly a great traitor.
Jinzhi: "Miss, do you know how to call him outside?"
Chuzheng looked at the group of people passing by the courtyard where Princess Chang Huan lived, and asked without much interest: "What do you call it?"
Jinzhi: "Lord Chitose."
The emperor is long live, but he, a eunuch, wants to be called a thousand years old, which shows his ambition.
"Do you think Zhu Dongfeng will be punished?" Chuzheng changed the subject directly.
"Miss, can I ask...do you have any grudge against Mr. Zhu?" Why do you always pick on him?
"No." Not with me, but with the original owner.
I'm just an emotionless performer.
It's so hard for me.
[…] I just watch young ladies acting like dramas.
"Why would you target him without you?" Jin Zhi was confused.
"..."
I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
Probably because she didn't believe it when she said it, Chuzheng thought about it in her mind and kept silent.
Jinzhi didn't get an answer and automatically answered Chuzheng's question: "Zhu Dongfeng came to protect Princess Chang Huan. Now that Princess Chang Huan is injured, he will definitely be held accountable."
Not to mention, the leader of the eunuchs is here now.
Who knows what this Chitose-sama has in mind.
What if we take the opportunity to suppress Zhu Dongfeng?
-
Princess Chang Huan's residence.
The palace people stood outside one after another, with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe.
If the princess is injured, if one thing goes wrong, the people they serve will be implicated.
Inside the house, the imperial doctor was changing Princess Chang Huan's dressing.
Zhu Dongfeng stood outside, his face was haggard, and there were obvious bruises under his eyes. It seemed that he had not rested well.
He walked back and forth, his hands now in front of him and now behind him, looking anxious.
"Chitose-sama has arrived—"
Zhu Dongfeng was stunned. He knew that someone had sent the news back to the palace.
But he didn't expect Yin Shen to come in person.
Thinking of that man, Zhu Dongfeng's mood sank again.
Inexplicable things always happen during this period. Princess Chang Huan is still injured now. The key is that he was not there at the time, so there is no problem in punishing him for his dereliction of duty.
Zhu Dongfeng didn't dare to think about it anymore and hurried out to greet him.
A young and handsome man came in from the outside with someone in tow. His cloak was slightly raised back, revealing the man's exquisite clothes underneath.
The clothes of the eunuch in the palace are not like this at all. The fabrics he wears are almost as good as the prince's specifications.
"Lord Chitose." Zhu Dongfeng called out on his own initiative and cupped his hands.
As a minister, Zhu Dongfeng doesn't need to salute like this at all, but who knows that now that he is a Chitose-sama, he can't do it without saluting.
