Chapter 88 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 2
"Xiao Yun! Xiao Yun! What's wrong with you? You didn't respond even after I called you so many times."
A pair of warm hands grabbed Ji Yunhuan's arm from behind. Ji Yunhuan finally came back to his senses from his thoughts. He blinked and turned off the screen. When he turned around, he saw Bai Zhi staring at him anxiously.
Bai Zhi lives in the same room with Ji Yunhuan. She seems aloof and unsociable, but she is actually very kind-hearted and always takes care of Ji Yunhuan without leaving any trace.
She secretly stuffed a bundle into Ji Yunhuan's hand and whispered, "Hurry up and find a place to change, don't get sick from the cold."
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she left quickly, not giving Ji Yunhuan any chance to refuse.
Ji Yunhuan was grateful and immediately found a secluded palace to change into her cotton clothes. Bai Zhi was of similar size to her, so the clothes fit her well.
As her body warmed up, Ji Yunhuan's mood also improved a bit. She didn't meet anyone along the way, so she walked and stopped as she went, enjoying the leisure time.
By the time we arrived at the gate of Jinhua Palace, the sun had already risen and the snow had melted a lot, making it much easier to sweep.
Ji Yunhuan swept the snow in no time and was about to leave when he saw a large group of people pouring out of the gate of Jinhua Palace.
Walking in the center was the fifth prince, wearing a prince's crown and robes, with a python riding on the clouds embroidered with gold thread on his chest. On his head was a golden crown with a ruby on it and eight oriental pearls embedded in it, showing his royal majesty.
The fifth prince was born to Concubine Wu, who was the most favored concubine in the harem. The fifth prince was also deeply loved by the emperor. Although he was an adult prince who had already left the palace and established his own residence, he was able to hold his birthday banquet in the palace.
It was too late for Ji Yunhuan to hide, so he knelt down immediately, lowering his head very low, trying to minimize his presence.
At the gate of Jinhua Palace, the fifth prince smiled gently and said, "It's freezing cold, don't send me off, go back and serve mother."
Shuang'er finally had the opportunity to get close to the Fifth Prince. She squeezed aside a few first-class palace maids and carefully tied the cloak around the Fifth Prince. She looked at him lovingly and said with a blushing face:
"Your Highness doesn't have anyone to serve him, how can the Imperial Concubine feel at ease? The roads are slippery in the snow, why don't I follow you and serve your Highness?"
The fifth prince stretched out his hand to straighten the collar of his cloak and touched Shuang'er's hand inconspicuously. He had been in the romantic world for a long time, so how could he not understand what this little palace maid meant.
"I still have to go pay my respects to my father, so why bring you along? You can serve me next time I come."
Although Shuang'er felt a little regretful, she felt happy when she thought that the Fifth Prince looked at her differently and even touched her hand.
"Your Highness, please take care. Your Highness must remember Shuang'er. Shuang'er will always be waiting for Your Highness."
Several strong eunuchs came carrying a sedan chair. The Fifth Prince got on the sedan chair surrounded by the crowd and played with the small heater in his hands out of boredom.
He suddenly saw a figure kneeling under the palace wall. Although she was wearing a rough cotton coat, she had a charming figure and seemed somewhat familiar.
The fifth prince knocked on the armrest of the sedan chair, and the eunuch serving beside him immediately understood and stopped the sedan chair.
"You, raise your head and let me see."
Ji Yunhuan's body trembled, as if she was frightened. She deliberately lowered her voice and said in a rough voice: "I have an ugly face and dare not look up and look directly at you, my Lord."
The fifth prince became more interested, "Don't be afraid, I will forgive you."
When the head eunuch saw Ji Yunhuan's attire, he knew that she was a slave from the slave camp, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you capture her so that His Highness can have a good look at her."
The fifth prince was still smiling, "It's freezing cold, I feel sorry for her, don't scare her."
Although he said so, the Fifth Prince had no intention of stopping the two powerful eunuchs. Ji Yunhuan was dragged over roughly and made to kneel down, and was forced to raise his face by pulling his hair.
It was as if she was an object without emotions that could be admired and played with by anyone.
The Fifth Prince's eyes flashed with surprise. He touched Ji Yunhuan's face with interest and said with a smile:
"If you were ugly, there would be no beautiful women in this world. This king remembers you, you are Xiaoyun, and last time this king gave you a gold leaf."
Ji Yunhuan felt like her scalp was about to be torn off, her shoulders seemed to be twisted off, and her knees hit the cold floor, the pain making her sweat.
In her previous life, she fainted in the arms of the Fifth Prince like this. When she woke up, there was already blood on the bed.
Later, the Fifth Prince learned of her life experience and took her to his palace, promising to overturn the Ji family's case. Only then did she willingly follow the Fifth Prince.
The chief eunuch flattered him, "Your Highness is so kind and generous that he has even blessed a little slave. But this slave didn't know what was good for him and offended Your Highness. How should we deal with him?"
The Fifth Prince's lustful and greedy eyes fell on Ji Yunhuan without any scruples. "Take her away. The banquet has not started yet. I have plenty of time to...deal with her properly."
Ji Yunhuan struggled hard. The two eunuchs holding her down did not expect that she had so much strength that they managed to break free from the shackles.
The Fifth Prince's face darkened, and with more than a dozen eunuchs standing around watching him covetously, Ji Yunhuan knew he couldn't escape.
What would happen if she escaped this time? She was just a slave, and she couldn't resist the Fifth Prince's rape.
Ji Yunhuan knelt down again with a plop, looked up at the Fifth Prince, tears in his eyes, and cried with a trembling body:
"I am too dirty to serve the Fifth Prince. I am not resisting, but I don't want to pollute your Highness's eyes. I am really terrified by your kindness. Please show mercy."
The Fifth Prince felt much more relieved. He was just a criminal slave. It was a great blessing for him to be noticed by the prince. He should be extremely fearful and terrified.
"In that case, go back and rest. You don't have to work today. Get ready. I will come to find you tonight."
Ji Yunhuan pretended to be filled with gratitude and kowtowed to the Fifth Prince, "Your servant respectfully sees you off, Your Highness."
Before leaving, the Fifth Prince condescendingly threw a delicate little hand warmer to Ji Yunhuan, "This is a reward for you. It would be a pity to let such beautiful hands crack due to the cold."
Not until the Fifth Prince walked away did Ji Yunhuan stand up despite her aching body. She stared at the exquisite little hand warmer on the ground with disgust. She thought anything related to the Fifth Prince was dirty!
She must find a way to leave the slave camp, otherwise she will definitely not be able to escape tonight!
Not far away, a few young eunuchs passed by carrying a corpse. There were bloodstains under the white cloth, and the exposed gray-white arms were covered with knife wounds of varying depths.
"What bad luck! On a nice day, we have to carry the dead bodies. Not only do we get no reward, but we are also frightened."
"Please be more polite. This is the third person to die this month. I think the one in the East Palace has gone crazy. Who will be the next to suffer?"
"If you lie in bed every day and can't move, and need someone to take care of you when you eat, drink, defecate and urinate, you will go crazy..."
Ji Yunhuan stood against the wall and heard the discussions gradually fade away.
Others avoided the Eastern Palace like the plague, but Ji Yunhuan knew that the deposed Crown Prince Xiao Yan was the ultimate winner.
The system helped her to be reborn, so she had to complete her mission, give birth to an heir for Xiao Yan, and keep the Xiao Kingdom stable so that it would not fall into war.
She had originally planned to find an opportunity to go to the Eastern Palace. If she could go to the Eastern Palace to serve today, then the Fifth Prince would not be able to do anything to her.
