"The Fourth Princess has found the wrong person. Han Xiao is just an idle man, how can he save others?" Han Xiao answered expressionlessly, not wanting to have anything to do with the Fourth Princess.
Because of Han Xiao's pause, the young master in his arms rubbed his eyes, raised his head and said sweetly, "Husband..."
As soon as he raised his head, he saw the disheveled Fourth Princess standing in front of him. The young master's eyebrows immediately raised and he looked at Han Xiao unkindly. Why did the Fourth Princess come to his house?
Han Xiao secretly groaned in his heart. This matter really had nothing to do with him. How could he know why the Fourth Princess was crazy?
"No, I'm looking for you, Han Xiao, please save Yin Ping. As long as you come forward and plead with the emperor, he will definitely let Yin Ping go."
As the fourth princess spoke, tears began to flow, and in the moonlight she looked really pitiful.
Unfortunately, Han Xiao's heart was as hard as a rock, and he showed no sympathy for the Fourth Princess: "I don't know about this matter, Princess, please find someone else."
He didn't want to delay any longer with the Fourth Princess, because the young master's hand had already touched Han Xiao's waist.
If I wait any longer, I'm afraid I'll suffer again.
The young master was very satisfied with Han Xiao's answer. He gently patted Han Xiao's chest with his other hand, signaling Han Xiao to put him down.
Now that there are strangers around, it would not be appropriate to let Han Xiao hold him all the time. The young master was very sensible and took Han Xiao into consideration.
After putting the young master down, he walked up to the Fourth Princess. This was the second time the two of them had met in person.
"Fourth Princess, why do you think my husband would save people? Shouldn't we ask His Majesty for help in this matter?"
The moment the fourth princess saw the young master, her body tensed up and she closed her eyes to hide her jealousy.
When she raised her head again, tears were still in the Fourth Princess' eyes. This time she was very humble. Even Han Xiao was surprised that the Fourth Princess could do this for a female official.
"Ruan Zhu, I know your identity. I swear as long as you rescue Yin Ping, I will stay away from you, okay?" The fourth princess stepped forward and wanted to grab the young master's hand.
The young master seemed to be frightened and immediately took two steps back, bumping into Han Xiao's chest.
Han Xiao supported the young master's flexible waist, and he roughly pieced together the truth of the matter from the fourth princess's words.
It seems that the rumor about the young master was spread by Aunt Yinping, who was beside the Fourth Princess, in collusion with the Second Prince. The Emperor cannot touch the Second Prince easily. The Zhang family has been punished, so there must be someone to take the blame.
This Yin Ping was treated as a scapegoat and dealt with by the emperor.
However, Han Xiao did not expect that the Fourth Princess would be so desperate to come to them for help.
Even if Han Xiao could save him, he would not do so. Han Xiao would not let go of anyone who posed any threat to the young master.
"Princess, please go back. We can't help you with this matter." Han Xiao's impatience was clearly visible on his face.
The fourth princess could clearly see that she was filled with anger. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a noise coming from not far away.
The fifth prince rode his horse towards them, and the moment he saw the fourth princess, his expression became better.
"Fourth sister, why are you here? Come back with me quickly!" The fifth prince looked ugly and tired, and it was obvious that he had been looking for the fourth princess for a long time.
The Fourth Princess was terrified when she saw the Fifth Prince. She had escaped secretly and was caught by the Fifth Prince this time. It would be even more difficult for her to get out next time.
"Han Xiao, please help me, help me." The fourth princess didn't care about anything else and quickly hid behind Han Xiao, wanting to get Han Xiao's protection.
Han Xiao simply changed his position with an expressionless face and said to the Fifth Prince, "The Fourth Princess is tired. Please ask the Fifth Prince to send her back as soon as possible."
The fourth princess widened her eyes. She didn't expect Han Xiao to be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
The maids who came with the fifth prince also stepped forward, grabbed the fourth princess, and dragged her into the carriage.
The fifth prince rubbed his brows before looking at Han Xiao and the young master. After this incident, he already knew the young master's identity. He didn't know the grudges of the previous generation, but he just thought the young master was good-looking. Everyone said that he was very similar to the late Su Guijun. The fifth prince couldn't see it either, so he just nodded awkwardly to the young master.
As for Han Xiao, he didn't know much about him. He just glanced at him indifferently and turned back. He still had to report to Concubine Li that the Fourth Princess had secretly escaped from the palace, and the news was still being suppressed by Concubine Li.
If this gets to my father's ears, I'm afraid he will punish my sister even more severely.
The fifth prince did not dare to delay any longer and took the struggling fourth princess back to the palace first.
After sending away the great plague god, Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and took the young master home to sleep.
It’s getting late, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
The next day, news came out from the palace that the Fourth Princess was also under house arrest, and the Fourth Princess's female official Yin Ping was sentenced to death by the emperor for violating palace rules.
After the fourth princess knew about it, she even bought a ticket to see Yin Ping for the last time.
The Fourth Princess waited until the palace maids came to deliver the news that Aunt Yinping had been executed. She then returned to her room in silence and did not let anyone in.
Concubine Li was worried about the Fourth Princess and wanted to come see her, but she was also helpless about Aunt Yinping's affairs.
She understood that the emperor just wanted to warn them not to have any bad intentions towards the young master again, and that Aunt Yinping was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
However, Concubine Li did not expect that Aunt Yinping was so important to the Fourth Princess, so much so that the Fourth Princess refused to eat or drink since Aunt Yinping's death.
I just lay in bed, not knowing what to think.
Every time Concubine Li came over, she would watch the Fourth Princess cry silently.
The fifth prince was extremely anxious and kept regretting why he had forced his sister to come back.
If he had followed his sister and asked Han Xiao for help, would the result have been different?
"Fourth sister, can you please get up and eat something?" The fifth prince half-knelt beside the bed, holding the fourth princess's hand and said.
The fourth princess still had her eyes closed, and her breathing became weak. Because she had not eaten well for several days, the fourth princess looked frighteningly haggard.
Concubine Li also sat on the edge of the bed and fixed her hair: "Jingyu, please take a look at your mother, is she okay? Wuwuwu..."
Concubine Li couldn't hold back any longer and tears fell.
The fourth princess had been like this for several days, and they were really afraid that she would starve to death.
The Fifth Prince looked at Concubine Li, then at the Fourth Princess, and said harshly, "Don't you just want to marry Han Xiaoma? Fine, I'll let you marry Han Xiao, but you have to get up first, okay? Look at yourself like this, do you think Han Xiao will still like you?"
After the Fifth Prince finished speaking, he turned and left angrily. Concubine Li looked at the Fifth Prince's back, at a loss.
She didn't know why things had turned out like this.
