Chapter 543 I am willing to serve the emperor
Seeing this, Defei spoke.
"What's wrong with being a concubine? I'm a human being too. Just tell me if you're willing. I really need someone to assist me in the palace and say some words to the Emperor. If you're willing today, you'll stay in this palace from now on and wait for me to make plans for you. If you're not willing, you can go back with your mother later."
Upon hearing this, Liang Ruxia looked up at Concubine De, but soon lowered her head again.
"My Lady, if I stayed in the palace, then my aunt..."
Seeing that she was thinking about her concubine, well, she was in a good mood. If she was trained well, she should be a useful person, Defei promised.
"It's not just the son who makes a mother noble. If a daughter is able to succeed, then the mother can also be able to succeed because of her daughter. As long as you are able to succeed, your aunt will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Her life will definitely be more comfortable than before. And I promise you that from now on, no one will dare to embarrass your aunt."
When Liang Ruxia heard this, her eyes flashed with desire and determination for an unknown life. She was already nineteen years old, and her stepmother would never let her find a good marriage. This time, her aunt's illness made her exhausted. Why not try her best in the palace, maybe there would be a way out for herself and her aunt.
"Your Majesty, Ruxia is willing to stay in the palace to serve you and the emperor. Everything will be at your disposal."
He is actually a smart person who knows how to fight for his own interests. Concubine De nodded secretly in her heart.
"The letter will be kept in the palace. If you miss your aunt in the future, you can write a letter and I will help you deliver it to your aunt."
Upon hearing this, Liang Ruxia hurriedly spoke with a look of gratitude.
"Ruxia thanks Her Majesty the Defei."
Defei looked at her and spoke.
"We are all family, so please call me aunt."
Liang Ruxia spoke obediently after hearing this.
"Yes, Ruxia will listen to her aunt from now on."
Concubine De nodded and gave instructions to Nanny He.
"Madam He, take her to live in a side hall. From now on, you will personally teach her palace etiquette and how to survive in the complex and ever-changing palace environment."
Upon hearing this, Nanny He bowed and said.
"yes."
Then he took a few steps towards Liang Ruxia.
"Miss Ruxia, come with me."
Liang Ruxia nodded and left with Nanny He.
Mrs. Liang looked at Liang Ruxia's back and didn't speak until she left.
"Xi Huan, this child's aunt is frail and sickly. She has been able to protect him for so many years, which shows her tenacity. If you train her well, she will definitely be a help to you. Of course, she may also develop ambitions that she shouldn't have. After all, once a person climbs out of a quagmire, their heart will slowly turn cruel."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De nodded.
"Mother, I understand. That's why I asked you to choose the person. Even if she has ambitions, so what? Only with ambition can things be accomplished better. As long as we take good care of her aunt, we don't have to worry about her being disobedient."
Mrs. Liang nodded after hearing this.
"Just be aware of this. Don't worry about her aunt. I will take good care of her for you."
In the peach blossom forest, Su Hanchu, Lin Hanzhi and others were enjoying the rare tranquility and joy.
What they don't know is that a conspiracy against them is quietly brewing.
This day.
Qinggu hunted some game.
A fire was built to roast the game.
Su Hanchu even made a beggar's chicken himself. Of course, it was not the ordinary beggar's chicken. Instead, the chicken's belly was stuffed with peach blossoms, marinated with various seasonings, and buried under the fire.
After the beggar's chicken is ready, everyone can smell not only the aroma of chicken, but also the faint fragrance of peach blossoms, which makes people want to drool.
An Che was fed by the wet nurse, while Su Hanchu, Jun Moye, Lin Hanzhi and others sat together eating beggar's chicken and drinking peach blossom porridge.
Suddenly, a group of men in black appeared in front of them like ghosts, each of them with murderous intent, and long swords in their hands pointing directly at Su Hanchu and Jun Moye.
When Su Hanchu saw this, his eyes turned cold. It was really a waste of time even during an outing. Thinking that Lin Hanzhi didn't know martial arts, he drew his sword and spoke.
"Cai Xing, protect Madam Lin."
Then he rushed towards the man in black with sword in hand.
Jun Moye's face was gloomy, but he couldn't do anything. After all, he was a weak patient who couldn't take care of himself. He could only watch Su Hanchu fight with the man in black. However, the secret guards who were protecting him soon appeared. For a while, the peach blossom forest was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouts of killing.
Su Hanchu has a nimble figure and sharp swordsmanship, and every move and every style reveals murderous intent.
She knew in her heart that these men in black were obviously coming for her and Jun Moye, and she had to fight quickly to avoid hurting innocent people.
Cai Xing closely guarded Lin Hanzhi, holding a long sword and observing the surroundings vigilantly to prevent any accidents.
Qing Gu and several secret guards surrounded Jun Moye.
Strangely, the men in black attacked Su Hanchu and Jun Moye, but did not touch Lin Hanzhi.
Lin Hanzhi didn't know martial arts, and seeing Su Hanchu fighting bravely, she shouted out in concern.
"City Lord Su, you have to be more careful!"
At the same time, she did not forget to comfort An Che in her arms, coaxing the child in a soft voice so as not to scare him.
"Don't be afraid, An Che. Your aunt is very powerful and will get rid of these bad guys soon."
Su Hanchu became more and more courageous as he killed more people. Wherever he went, heads fell to the ground.
The secret guards were well-trained and quickly formed an encirclement, repelling the men in black one by one.
The battle lasted for about half an hour, and finally, one man in black fell down after another.
The peach blossom forest returned to its tranquility again, but there were corpses scattered all over the ground. The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood, tainting this fragrant peach forest.
Jun Moye looked at the men in black lying on the ground, his brows furrowed.
"I just observed that although these people's origins are unknown, they avoided assassinating Madam Lin. It seems that this assassination was specifically aimed at you and me."
Su Hanchu nodded in agreement. She squatted down and checked the body of a man in black and found that there were no obvious marks or clues on their bodies. It seemed that they were all special assassins.
She stood up and said to Jun Moye.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. We have to leave here as soon as possible."
Then he ordered Caixing.
"Cai Xing, take Madam Lin and An Che and leave first. Once you reach the Imperial City, report to the authorities and tell them that someone has attempted to assassinate the Lord of Baise City and the wife of General Tianyuan outside the Imperial City."
Although Cai Xing was worried about Su Hanchu's safety, she also understood that her decision was made for the overall situation, so she nodded in agreement.
"yes."
Then he took Lin Hanzhi and An Che and left first.
Jun Moye nodded, and the group quickly packed up their things and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Jun Moye looked towards the distance of the peach forest with a sharp gaze, his eyes narrowed.
Cang Hong, who was hiding in the dark, was suddenly startled.
Leave quickly.
Jun Moye has already given the order.
"Qing Gu, follow in that direction."
