Chapter 193 My Two Lives Have Been Wasted
The wives of officials and noble ladies present at the scene then remembered that the wife of Marquis Guangling had lost her child and frantically searched for him, even going crazy in the Prince's Mansion. Later, for some unknown reason, she suddenly stopped looking for her child after the incident in the Prince's Mansion.
"Do you remember what happened at the former prince's house?"
"I remember, I remember. How could I not remember such a big thing? At that time, the former Crown Princess was caught having an affair with her brother, and Princess Zhan said she saw the two children of the Marquis of Guangling. At that time, I thought Princess Zhan was just saying it casually to appease the Marquis of Guangling."
"Yes, after that day, the Guangling Marquis and his wife, who had been searching for a child for several years, stopped looking. A few months later, news broke that the Guangling Marquis' wife was pregnant. Now that I think about it, this... can't be a coincidence."
"And that time, not long after Princess Zhan married into Prince Zhan's palace, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky at the palace gate. The god said... Princess Zhan was her apprentice who had experienced tribulations in the human world, and also said that the Heavenly Master was the real monster."
"Yes, that's right. And that very night, countless flowers blossomed from Prince Zhan's mansion, spreading all over Kyoto. They also cured many people of their chronic illnesses. The people all went to the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion and knelt in gratitude."
"Now that you mention it, I think I remember it too. It's just that I went to bed early that day and didn't see it. When I woke up the next day and heard the servants talking about it, I regretted it so much that my intestines turned green. Since then, I dare not go to bed so early every day, but I have never encountered such a miracle again."
A lady nearby covered her lips and chuckled, "You, you also say it's a miracle. You think you can see it once in your lifetime because of your ancestors' good deeds. How can you just see it whenever you want? Do you think it's a sideshow at the market?"
"Ah... that's right. I have to talk to my master about this matter when I get back. This Princess Zhan is incredible."
Bu Ruo listened to the whispers of the ladies below but did not take them to heart. It did not matter whether others knew who she was or not, as long as she knew who she was. She did not care about other people's opinions and did not rely on others to live.
Just as the ladies were praising the twins, a female secret guard quietly walked up to Bu Ruo.
"Princess, the prince has sent someone to tell you that Master Jin...seems to be having an affair with a woman."
When Bu Ruo heard this, he stood up and walked to the side with the two of them, looking as if he was looking at the scenery in the garden.
"Yeah? That idiot can actually pick up women? Has he become more capable or have I underestimated him before?"
The female secret guard thought for a moment and said, "If we follow what the princess said... then Master Jin must have been set up."
Seeing the interest in Bu Ruo's eyes, the female secret guard stood directly beside Bier and began to speak slowly.
"The secret guard you ordered to watch over Master Jin this morning was my brother. The girl was Cai Zhu, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She followed her father, disguised as a man, to the men's side. She was tall, and everyone else's attention was on the prince, so she didn't attract anyone's attention."
"She originally intended to kill the prince, but she changed her mind after she saw him drag a maidservant who tried to get close to him and execute her."
Bu Ruo blinked her eyes and said, "Now the position of Minister of Revenue has become vacant due to the incident involving the former Crown Prince Xiao Jingrui. The Vice Minister of Revenue is trying to get promoted by selling his daughter."
"The prince is accompanied by Cen Nan and Jin Congcong today. Jin Congcong's identity is known to many people in Kyoto. If the prince is not chosen, anyone with a mind will know how to choose. But she may not know that even Cen Nan has a rank."
"Hmm...but she's still not a good match for our Bi'er. I'll have to ask the prince to promote Cen Nan and Cen Beisheng. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to our Bi'er."
Bi'er was listening to the gossip seriously, but when she saw that the protagonist of the gossip had suddenly changed, her face turned red: "Princess, why are you talking about Jin Xiaodizhen and bringing me into this again? I don't want to get married at the moment, so let's continue talking about Jin Xiaodizhen, Jin Xiaodizhen..."
Bu Ruo saw that Bi'er was shy and stopped joking: "Yes, yes, let's talk about that idiot. Let's continue talking about that idiot."
The female secret guard couldn't help but smile when she looked at her princess. She was extremely grateful that she was chosen to be by her side. There were so many joys to be with the princess.
Moreover, the princess allowed all the secret guards to get married, and there were miracle doctors to heal their injuries. This made all the secret guards in the palace reach the peak of their gratitude towards the princess and the prince.
"That's silly... No, no, Divine Doctor Jin had always been very obedient and stayed by the prince's side. The others, knowing his identity, also tried to get close to him subtly. Divine Doctor Jin, delighted by the flattery, drank a few more glasses of fruit wine. When he went out for some fresh air, the most common scene of vying for favor in the palace occurred..."
"That Miss Cai Zhu...fell into the water."
Bu Ruo raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "That idiot can join in the fun, but considering how much he values his life, it's absolutely impossible for him to jump into the water to save people, because he can't swim at all."
The female secret guard nodded. "What the princess said is correct. Divine Doctor Jin is indeed a master at joining in the fun. He was the first to notice it, and then he went to the pool to watch the fun while calling for help."
"As a result, when the prince arrived, Divine Doctor Jin also fell into the pool. The prince had no choice but to use his inner strength to grab both of them from the air."
"My elder brother saw it clearly. He said that Divine Doctor Jin was pushed down by Cai Zhu's maid. There was no one around at the time, so no one saw it."
"Brother originally wanted to go down and rescue them, but when we set out, the prince specifically told us to just keep an eye on Divine Doctor Jin from a distance. As long as their lives weren't in danger, we didn't have to take action. We couldn't disturb Divine Doctor Jin's fate, and we couldn't... ruin the princess's excitement of watching the fun."
Bu Ruo: ...
"Little Divine Doctor Jin had only drunk a few sips of the fruit wine and was just a little dizzy. He had already sobered up by the time the prince rescued him. Cai Zhu's eyes flickered between the prince and Little Divine Doctor Jin for a few times, as if considering something. Not long after, she knelt on the ground and thanked Little Divine Doctor Jin for saving her life. Even Little Divine Doctor Jin himself was stunned."
"Little Divine Doctor Jin wanted to clarify, but the Minister of Revenue kept expressing his gratitude. When he said he would give Little Divine Doctor Jin rare treasures and banknotes, Little Divine Doctor Jin's mouth seemed to be sealed with needle and thread. He just nodded and didn't say a word."
"The prince didn't say anything when he saw this. He just asked my brother to come to me and tell the princess that the young doctor Jin had hooked up with a woman."
Bu Ruo was both angry and amused when she heard this: "Did that idiot know that Cai Zhu was a woman?"
The female secret guard nodded: "I know, he knew it when the woman fell into the water, but..."
"Alas, good words can't persuade a ghost who wants to die. If his death and bad love life don't come with money, my two lives will be in vain."
