The guards all knew that Ying Qian had offended Qu Linlang, so they would not be polite with her.

I wish she had been injured more seriously.

Come to please Qu Linlang.

The guard walking in front raised his hand and grabbed Yingqian's shoulder.

At the same time, he raised the saber in his right hand, preparing to slash her face to vent his anger on Qu Linlang.

He drew his bow left and right.

But Yingqian couldn't dodge yet.

Behind her is Xiang Xuanhai, and as long as he moves, he will be exposed.

Yingqian could only grit his teeth and raise his arms, preparing to resist the blow.

Anyway, the guards won't actually kill him.

In the end, it just hurts.

But Yingqian waited for a long time, and the expected pain did not come. Instead, there were "thumping" sounds one after another.

It was like countless knees hit the ground.

Neatly.

Very loud.

The guard who was about to attack Yingqian before was now kneeling in front of her.

The saber fell to the ground. He hunched over and pressed his forehead tightly against the ground. The sound of his teeth chattering was very clear in the night.

Fear spreads silently.

Even Qu Linlang subconsciously took half a step back and stared at Ying Qian's side in horror.

Only then did Yingqian notice.

I don't know when the palace door was completely opened.

And Xiang Xuanhai, who had been clinging to her back just now, was now standing beside her.

His face was expressionless.

His eyes swept over the guard kneeling in front, and his waist immediately softened. All the bones in his body seemed to be rotting in an instant. He lay on the ground, trembling even as he cried out for mercy.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, spare my life. I know I was wrong... Please spare my life as a dog..."

The guard opened his mouth.

The other guards and servants also kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Xiang Xuanhai didn't pay attention to the noise in the yard. He only held Yingqian's hand, looked her back and forth carefully, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Who bullied you?"

Many servants were secretly surprised when they saw his affectionate behavior towards Yingqian.

Then when I heard Xiang Xuanhai’s inquiry.

Everyone present was so regretful that they wished they could slap themselves twice.

How could they think,

The woman Xiang Xuanhai cares about is Qu Linlang, and he only cares about Yingqian for a while?

He started by showing up.

He never even took a look at Qu Linlang.

There was only the shadow of Yingqian in his eyes.

If this is Yingqian's fault for all those gossips before...

The servants looked at each other.

They were all panicked.

The sound of kowtow suddenly became louder.

Yingqian watched helplessly as their foreheads turned red, their flesh and blood became blurred, their wounds were embedded with dirt and stones, and their faces turned pale in pain, but they still did not dare to stop.

The words in his mouth also changed from begging for mercy to desperately admitting his mistake to her.

"You guys are so blind, so I beg the princess to forgive me!"

"Princess has mercy! Please give me a chance, princess..."

"I hope the princess will spare her life!"

These people's faces change too quickly.

Just now, he looked down on Yingqian, with the face of a subjugated princess who was worse than a slave.

At this point the conversation changed.

Treat her as a life-saving straw.

As for Qu Linlang...

In the eyes of the servants, she is only Miss Linlang when Xiang Xuanhai cares about her.

At this time, one's own wealth and life are at stake.

Who cares about her?

Ying Qian glanced at Xiang Xuanhai several times and knew that in his heart, he was still the six-year-old child.

Worried about being caught, she cleared her throat and said:

"I don't want to blame you, but you are so courageous. Following Miss Qu Linlang, you dared to break into the king's residence at night..."

With every word that came out of her mouth.

The hearts of everyone outside the hall were lifted up.

Ying Qian's voice paused.

After enduring the pain of having her fingers secretly pinched by Xiang Xuanhai, she said sternly:

"Each person will receive twenty boards. This matter has been exposed and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future!"

"yes!"

A roaring response sounded.

From the guards to the servants, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although twenty boards are not light, compared to losing one's life, they are too gentle.

All of a sudden.

They all looked at Yingqian with a little gratitude.

Yingqian doesn't stay much.

He dragged Xiang Xuanhai back to the dormitory.

But Qu Linlang took a step forward at this moment, pursed her lips slightly, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Your Majesty..."

Just this sentence.

She didn't say much.

However, this one look in his eyes that was still trying to talk was enough to win the pity of all men.

However, Xiang Xuanhai not only ignored her.

On the contrary, it is one step faster.

As if impatient, he and Yingqian returned to the dormitory.

Qu Linlang's delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She finally found a place next to Xiang Xuanhai, but she was about to be left out in the cold before she officially entered the palace as a concubine?

Or because of a subjugated princess!

How could a proud girl like Qu Linlang ever suffer such a setback?

She took a step closer again, softened her voice, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, Linlang is feeling a little uncomfortable. It seems that the sequelae of that incident have recurred. Can you..."

Qu Linlang's footsteps gradually approached.

Seeing that they had all reached the door of the dormitory.

Her eyes were filled with joy.

I thought I finally impressed Xiang Xuanhai.
