Chapter 140: Betrothed as Wife, Runaway as Concubine

Yan Zhijiao, who was ordered to take care of him, was startled and hurriedly walked to the couch and looked at him uneasily: "Thank you... General Xie, are you... are you awake? Are you... are you feeling unwell?"

"No discomfort." Xie Yunjian looked around, his expression a little confused, "Where is this? Why am I here?"

"here it is--"

"Thank you Yunjian!"

Xie Yunjian stood up from the couch in excitement and walked out without looking back.

"Thank you, general, thank you, general!" Yan Zhijiao hurriedly chased after her, her tone a little confused, "Thank you, general -"

Several maids looked at each other and subconsciously stepped forward to stop him from leaving.

"Thank you Yunjian! Thank you Yunjian!"

Xie Yunjian's face turned very dark. As soon as he walked outside the courtyard gate, he saw a nanny coming with someone. She raised her hand to stop him: "General Xie, why are you here? Men and women don't know each other, you - "

"Get out of the way." Xie Yunjian raised his hand to push her away, walking faster.

The front yard is already in a state of chaos.

The guards, maids, and nuns all chased Yuan Ziying.

Yuan Ziying seemed to have no power to restrain a chicken, but wherever she passed, those who tried to catch her would always freeze unconsciously, as if they were immobilized by an invisible thing.

Although it was only fixed for a moment, it was enough for Yuan Ziying to escape.

Prince Rong and his wife were so angry that their faces were livid.

Yan Jie, the eldest son of Prince Rong's palace, was furious: "Where did this cheap maid come from? Why don't you catch her quickly and cut her into pieces!"

This kind of situation has never happened in the strict rules of the palace. It is as chaotic as a house raid.

Xie Yunjian followed the direction of Yuan Ziying's voice and reached the front in a few short steps.

It was really crowded.

The faces of Prince Rong and his son were extremely ugly. Princess Rong's face was livid with anger. Princess Yan Zhixuan also rushed over when she heard the noise. After being shocked, her eyes looked like she wanted to hack Yuan Ziying to death.

Yuan Ziying hid in the corridor and raised her hand to the guards surrounding her: "Don't come over here! I'm just here to see my fiancé——"

Xie Yunjian walked over: "Yuan Ziying."

When Yuan Ziying saw him appearing intact, her eyes lit up: "Thank you Yunjian!"

She pounced towards him like a butterfly. The guards did not expect Xie Yunjian to suddenly appear. When they turned their heads and were stunned, Yuan Ziying happened to pounce on her.

Xie Yunjian rarely pushed her away, letting her rush to his side and frowning: "Why are you here?"

Yuan Ziying whispered: "I was worried that you were being plotted, so I came over to save you."

Xie Yunjian also lowered his voice: "You are making such a fuss, can you save me?"

"Of course." Yuan Ziying wrinkled her nose, "I'm going to shout at the top of my lungs until everyone in the palace hears it. If you still don't come out, you're in danger, and I'm going to take action."

If she wanted to do something, she would poison him.

Although there is not a lot of poison carried with him today, it is still possible to poison King Rong and his son and then use a rat-proof weapon.

Xie Yunjian glared at her angrily: "What if I take advantage of his plan?"

"Use the trick? What do you want to do?" Yuan Ziying's face changed, "Is it possible that you want to marry the Princess of Prince Rong's Mansion?"

Xie Yunjian scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."

"General Xie, what is going on?" King Rong endured his anger and looked at the two of them, "Dare you ask who this girl is to you? With such a riot in the palace, General Xie should give me an explanation. ?”

Xie Yunjian turned around and bowed to Prince Rong: "During lunch, Yunjian said that he already had a fiancée, and she was her."

Princess Rong's face was full of colors: "General Xie has fought on the battlefield with great military exploits and talent. How can he have such a fiancée who has no rules and upbringing?"

King Rong frowned: "General Xie, are you trying to fool me?"

"A pheasant who comes from nowhere in the mountains can also be the general's wife?" Yan Zhixuan sneered disdainfully, "General Xie looks down on this princess, but is willing to marry such a woman. It is really incomprehensible to the general. taste."

Yuan Ziying was unusually quiet, her big eyes falling on Xie Yunjian's face, and she had no reaction to the belittling of Princess Rong and Yan Zhixuan.

Ever since Xie Yunjian said the words "fiancée", her eyes were shining with stars, and her heart was beating loudly. Why did she care about what others said?

However, Xie Yunjian frowned: "Please be careful, Princess and Prince, Ziying is just a simple-minded person who is not bound by rules and lives a free and easy life. This is not the reason for you to abuse her."

Yan Zhixuan said angrily: "You——"

"Since General Xie already has a fiancée, why is he still entangled with my daughter?" King Rong interrupted Yan Zhixuan and looked at Xie Yunjian coldly, "If I read it right just now, General Xie came from the northwest backyard. Are you coming here? That direction is where my daughter Zhijiao lives."

Xie Yunjian explained: "Yunjian ate too much wine at noon and became unconscious. It was not intentional——"

Princess Rong said coldly: "Whether it was intentional or not, General Xie ruined my daughter's reputation, so we can't just let it go."

Xie Yunjian fell silent for a moment and then said: "What does the princess want to do?"

Princess Rong's eyes glanced at Yan Zhijiao's face, and a coldness flashed in her eyes: "Men and women are not close to each other. Since such a thing has happened, General Xie must give Zhijiao a title."

Xie Yunjian said calmly: "Is she willing to be a concubine?"

"Presumptuous." Prince Rong frowned, "Even if my daughter is not a princess, her status is noble enough."

Xie Yunjian smiled maliciously: "Marry her and run away as a concubine. A woman who took advantage of this general's drunkenness and took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, this general is willing to give her the status of a concubine, which is a promotion for her."

Yan Zhijiao's face turned pale, and she lowered her eyes in embarrassment, and the handkerchief in her hand was unconsciously twisted into a ball.

"You!" Prince Rong was so angry that his face turned blue, "In this case, let's go to His Majesty to talk about this."

Xie Yunjian sneered: "Prince Rong has always been a good man, and today this good man can't pretend to be a good man anymore?"

"No matter how good a good man is, he can't watch his daughter being bullied and humiliated."

Xie Yunjian nodded slowly: "In this case, go to the palace and ask His Majesty to make the decision and seek justice for your daughter."

Yan Zhixuan's expression was cold, and her eyes fell on Yuan Ziying's face, with both disdain and resentment in her eyes.

A country girl with no education in the mountains was actually Xie Yunjian's fiancée?

What a big joke.

"I'll take my leave first. Please ask the prince to dismiss the guards." Xie Yunjian looked at the guards with swords around him, "Today is the day of the companion exam. The streets are heavily guarded. If the prince uses force against me here, I'm afraid it will be suspected of rebellion if it gets out."

Prince Rong clenched his hands and looked at the princess calmly.

"Xie Yunjian." Princess Rong said coldly, "Since you have stayed in my daughter's room, you can't pretend that this didn't happen today. But since Miss Yuan is your fiancée, I am willing to make a concession. My daughter will be my wife and Miss Yuan will be my concubine. They can call each other sisters and live in harmony. What do you think?"
