Chapter 57 This man has deep resentment
They had not thought of this before. After Jing Fang Qianxue reminded them of this, they recalled their suicidal behavior in the past few years and were so scared that their legs went weak.
"What's more, the young marquis is still useful to His Majesty. It's not certain whether His Majesty will kill him for the two concubines who have fallen out of favor." Fang Qianxue glanced at Jiang Xu and continued, "Maybe just getting rid of you two will suppress this matter."
Jiang Xu looked at Fang Qianxue's profile from behind and felt sweet in his heart.
She was indeed still the same as she was back then, and would not stand by and watch him being humiliated.
"Sir Fang, we sisters were reckless today," Concubine Song was upset at being bullied, but she could only force a smile and said to Fang Qianxue, "Just pretend you didn't see it. We sisters will remember your kindness in the future."
"It was the young marquis whom you were rude to. What's the point of telling me all this? You should apologize to him." Fang Qianxue said.
Concubine Song tugged at Concubine Yun's sleeve, and the latter reluctantly bent her knees towards Jiang Xu and said, "We were just joking with you just now. Young Marquis, please be magnanimous and don't take it as an offense."
"Are you kidding?" Jiang Xu glanced at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to go to His Majesty to seek justice and see if this is just a joke?"
"No, no, no!" Concubine Song pulled Concubine Yun behind her and knelt down to Jiang Xu. "We were wrong. Please forgive us, young marquis. Don't worry, we sisters will never dare to do it again!"
Fang Qianxue looked at Concubine Song and Concubine Yun, and seeing that they were really scared, she said, "You two ladies, please be careful with your words and actions in the future. Let's forget about what happened today."
"Yes! Then we'll take our leave." Concubine Song nodded, and then she took Concubine Yun and trotted out of the imperial garden.
Fang Qianxue called the young eunuch over and was about to continue going to the horse farm when Jiang Xu suddenly called her.
"Lord Fang, stay."
Fang Qianxue gave him a strange look and said, "Young Marquis, you are going to the palace to see the emperor, right? Then you shouldn't linger in the Imperial Garden, lest something like what just happened happens again."
"Just now...thank you for speaking up for me." Jiang Xu is one or two years younger than Fang Qianxue, but he doesn't talk often, giving people a very immature feeling.
"It's just a small favor. If you have nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Master Fang!"
"What else?"
"And last time, it was all thanks to you." Jiang Xu's face flushed, and he paused in the middle of his sentence, "I haven't thanked you properly yet."
"Last time?" Fang Qianxue was surprised that he had said so much today. "Are you talking about the birthday party, or the time on the mountain road? I should thank you for the expensive gift on the birthday party, and I should have given way to you on the mountain road. Young Marquis, you don't have to thank me."
"No," Jiang Xu frowned and looked at her, his eyes slightly red, aggrieved and anxious, "Except for those two times, don't you remember that we have met before?"
"Before?" Fang Qianxue thought about it carefully, "I really can't remember."
Hearing this, Jiang Xu turned his head away stubbornly and said in a muffled voice: "Forget it, I knew you didn't remember. How could you remember when you were so busy? I'm the only one who remembers."
She had totally forgotten that she had come to her own rescue at the palace banquet many years ago. In the same situation today, she would still come to her own rescue, but it would be unintentional.
Jiang Xu laughed at himself: "I was overthinking."
Fang Qianxue was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he was saying: "Young Marquis, do you still want to see the emperor?"
"I'm not here to see the emperor!" Jiang Xu suddenly got angry, "You don't have to rush to send me away."
"???" Fang Qianxue thought to herself that her kindness was taken for granted. "I'm not chasing you away, but I really have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
She took a few steps and felt that the man behind her was very resentful.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jiang Xu was weird, like a taciturn person and his moods were unpredictable.
When they arrived at the big iron gate of the horse farm, the young eunuch unlocked the door, turned around and saluted, saying, "Master Fang, I will not accompany you in."
Although the Qilin beast started to eat, it still hated strangers, and the palace people avoided it.
"Thank you for showing me the way, sir." Fang Qianxue returned the greeting slightly. Just as she was about to open the iron gate and go in, she suddenly felt the light in front of her eyes dim.
A figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist stood sideways in front of the iron gate and glanced back at her: "The king also wants to see the Qilin beast, it's just right, let's go in together."
Fang Qianxue couldn't see his gaze clearly, but she felt that it was as sharp as a knife. Standing in front of him, she felt as if her internal organs were being seen through: "The Qilin Beast is in the palace, and the prince can come to see it at any time. Why did you choose this time?"
Prince Beining has a mansion in Shangjing, but he has been living in a side hall of Shou'an Palace to serve the Queen Mother during this period.
"That beast is not very friendly to me. Only by following you can I avoid being bitten by it." Xiao Mingzhe said casually.
