Chapter 16 God Helps Me
Jing Siye listened to Zhu Wenqin's thoughts and couldn't help but scratch his nose:
"From now on, when Guard Zhu wants to walk around the mansion, he can bring two guards with him."
When Zhu Wenqin heard this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across her face, and she curled her lips, thinking:
[Are you dissatisfied with my skills?] 】
Although he didn't say anything, his unwillingness to accept the outcome was evident in his eyes.
After a while, Zhu Wenqin seemed to have made a great decision. She walked quickly to Jing Siye with a serious look on her face.
"My Lord, I want to discuss something with you."
Jing Siye raised his eyebrows and looked at him, asking curiously:
"Well, what's the matter? Tell me about it."
"Can I learn martial arts?"
Jing Siye looked at the thin young man in front of him and couldn't help laughing and said:
"Guard Zhu, can you endure the hardship?"
When Zhu Wenqin heard this, she immediately got furious:
"Who are you looking down upon?"
Jing Siye looked at his angry expression and found it very interesting:
"Why did Guard Zhu suddenly have this idea?"
When Zhu Wenqin heard Jing Siye's question, her expression dimmed slightly, she lowered her head and whispered softly:
"I'm always bullied."
His voice was very low, and there was a hint of grievance in it.
But Jing Siye has sharp ears: Being bullied all the time? Isn’t he the eldest son of the Zhu family?
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious look. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Zhu Wenqin:
"Tell me who bullied my little guard."
Zhu Wenqin hesitated for a moment, scratched her sleeves with her fingers and spoke slowly:
"I used to be bullied by my second mother's son at home. He was taller and stronger than me, so I always suffered."
His voice was a little low, as if those unbearable past events had reappeared before his eyes.
"Later, when I went to the capital with my mother, someone wanted to do something to me..."
When Zhu Wenqin said this, she suddenly paused, a blush appeared on her face, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
"How did it treat you?" Jing Siye asked.
"You're touching me." Zhu Wenqin bit her lip, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible. He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look into Jing Siye's eyes.
"What happened next?" Jing Siye continued to ask.
"Butler Xin saw them and beat them to a pulp."
Zhu Wenqin raised her head, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.
"That's good." Jing Siye breathed a sigh of relief: Steward Xin deserves a reward.
"You can learn martial arts if you want, but you have to be able to endure hardship and not be lazy."
Zhu Wenqin smiled happily: "Really? The prince really agreed?"
Jing Siye nodded slightly and said affirmatively:
"Well, when you are fully recovered, let Qi Feng teach you."
"Guard Qi? Why not Guard Xue? He seems to be more skilled in martial arts." Zhu Wenqin was full of confusion.
"No! Just Qi Feng." Jing Siye left no room for negotiation this time.
"Okay, Guard Qi is Guard Qi."
Although he was a little confused by Jing Siye's sudden toughness, he was satisfied to be able to learn to be like Guard Qi. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Xue Nian helped Qi Feng into the house and was about to help him take off his outer robe to check his injuries, but Qi Feng stopped him anxiously with a red face.
Xue Nian was puzzled: "Qi Feng, we are all men, why are you still shy?"
Qi Feng took the ointment from his hand and pushed Xue Nian out the door.
"Thank you, Guard Xue, for what you did today. You don't need to bother Guard Xue with applying the ointment."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Xue Nian was outside, knocking on the door anxiously and saying:
"Guard Qi, it's no trouble. Qi Feng, open the door. I want to see your injuries."
And the response to me was silence. Unable to figure it out again, Xue Nian had to support himself with his hands, shook his head and walked away.
——
That night, Zhu Wenqin continued to clean the study room. He read every book and "cleaned" the drawers thoroughly, but he did not find the so-called "evidence".
Where did the big devil hide him? 】
Zhu Wenqin muttered to himself while pounding his sore arm.
The big devil who was sitting at the desk and reading documents had a nice smile on his face: How could there be such a silly and cute rabbit? How could such an important thing be found so easily?
Zhu Wenqin sat on the ground with her chin in her hand, her brows furrowed:
[Besides the study, there is the bedroom, but I can't see where to hide things in the bedroom.]
[The closet was secretly searched,]
[There is nothing in the secret compartment next to the bed.]
[Also searched in the flower pot]
The more Jing Siye listened, the tighter his fingers tightened.
[Could it be hidden in the crotch?]
With a "pop" sound, Jing Siye's hand trembled and the book fell on the table.
"Guardian Zhu——"
Zhu Wenqin was immersed in her own thoughts. She was frightened by the sudden roar and stood up reflexively, her voice trembling a little:
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Jing Siye tried hard to calm himself down, repeating to himself: Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.
After a moment, he tried to make his tone sound calmer:
"Pour a glass of water for the king."
Zhu Wenqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Your Majesty."
[Just pour a glass of water, is there any need to yell like that? 】
Zhu Wenqin respectfully handed the teacup to Jing Siye. At this moment, Lu Bo's voice sounded outside the door:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Come in."
After getting the consent, Lu Bo pushed the door open neatly and walked straight to the desk with steady steps.
When he saw Zhu Wenqin standing beside him, he hesitated slightly.
Jing Siye seemed to have seen through Lu Bo's thoughts and spoke slowly:
"It's okay, just say it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Bo immediately bowed and saluted, his voice loud and respectful:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After that, he quickly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Jing Siye with both hands.
"This is news from the palace."
Then he retreated.
Jing Siye gently pinched the envelope with his slender fingers and slowly pulled out the letter inside. His eyes quickly swept across the letter, his expression as calm as water, making it impossible for anyone to guess the contents of the letter.
After reading it, he folded the letter carefully and put it back into the letter bag.
Then, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and slowly put the envelope inside his lapel, with a deliberate caution in his movements.
[Put it on your chest. You big devil, you are so mysterious. Maybe it is related to your uncle. 】
Zhu Wenqin watched all of this from the side.
[But if I put it on him, how can I get it? 】
He bit his teeth lightly, staring at Jing Siye intently, and thinking frantically about all possible solutions in his mind.
Jing Siye noticed Zhu Wenqin's gaze, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Guard Zhu, I am tired. Please help me take a bath."
When Zhu Wenqin heard this, she secretly clapped her hands in her heart, but on the surface she still responded respectfully:
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll go get some water right away."
[It is such a coincidence, God is helping me]
He turned around and almost ran out of the study.
Even though he was exhausted from drinking several buckets of water, the little rabbit in his mind did not stop for a moment and kept urging Jing Siye:
"My Lord, the water is ready. You can take a bath now. Come quickly."
Jing Siye walked into the bathroom at a leisurely pace. Seeing Zhu Wenqin's slightly anxious look, the teasing in his eyes became even stronger. He couldn't help but tease:
"Guard Zhu, why are you so excited about my bath?"
