Chapter 984 Where are you going?
Luo Yechen was about to ask the housekeeper to send the people away when he was stopped by Bu Shengyan.
Bu Shengyan sat up and said, "The Imperial Concubine saved my life and Xiao Hanhan's life before. She is our lifesaver. Now that she asks us for something, how can we just stand by and watch? Go and take a look."
The princess had just given birth and was still in confinement. Luo Yechen didn't want to worry her, so he could only sit up angrily.
"Someone, help me change my clothes!"
The butler immediately pushed the door open and helped the prince put on his clothes.
In the warm room, Chu Jian and Yi Mei had been waiting for a long time.
When they saw the King of England coming, they immediately stood up.
Luo Yechen's face looked extremely ugly, as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver.
He didn't know Chu Jian, but he knew the third princess of the Thousand Islands. After all, it was he who escorted the Thousand Islands delegation to Beijing.
Yimei has not yet fully recovered from the shock of the assassination, and her little face is still a little pale.
She no longer had the arrogant demeanor of the past. She clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands, looking uneasy and a little pitiful.
Chu Jian bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am here under the order of the Imperial Concubine to bring the Third Princess to ask Your Majesty for help."
Luo Yechen said patiently: "What's going on? Just say whatever you want to say. It's the middle of the night. Even if you don't need to sleep, I still want to sleep."
Chu Jian: "The thing is, the third princess was attacked by an assassin just now and was almost killed. I rescued her. Now she has nowhere to go and can only stay in the Prince of Ying's Palace temporarily."
Luo Yechen glared at him with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"What do you mean she has nowhere to go? Isn't she the third princess of the Thousand Islands? She can go to the Honglu Temple to find the Thousand Islands' envoys! This is the British Palace, not a shelter. Don't push anyone here."
If Bu Shengyan knew that he had taken in a young and beautiful girl, she would definitely send him to sleep in the study again.
He doesn't want to sleep in a separate room from the princess!
Yi Mei bit her lip, an aggrieved look on her face.
Although she didn't understand what the King of England said, she could feel that she was being disliked.
Chu Jian first glanced at her, and then said, "We suspect that the real murderer who sent someone to assassinate the third princess is someone from the Thousand Island Nation's delegation. If we send her back to the delegation, it would be like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth."
Luo Yechen was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of disbelief.
"How is this possible? She is the third princess of the Thousand Islands. Why would the delegation want to harm her? This doesn't make sense!"
Chu Jian: "When I rescued the third princess just now, I heard the assassins speaking the language of the Thousand Islands."
It was precisely because the group of assassins spoke the Thousand Islands language that he remained indifferent when the assassins said they would search the residents one by one.
He is not too brave, he just doesn't understand at all!
Luo Yechen subconsciously looked at Yi Mei, but saw that Yi Mei had a confused look on her face.
She couldn't understand what Chu Jian and Luo Yechen were saying to each other.
Chu Jian continued.
“The Imperial Concubine had long anticipated that the Third Princess might encounter an accident, so she asked me to protect her in secret.
The Queen also said that the third princess is in a very dangerous situation now.
The person behind the scenes will most likely find an opportunity to attack her again.
We can only send her to the British palace and let her stay here for a few days.
The Imperial Concubine specifically told me that if the Prince is worried that the Princess will be unhappy, he can put all the blame on the Imperial Concubine."
Luo Yechen became famous instantly.
He stiffened his neck and retorted, "What do you mean by afraid of the princess? I have never been afraid of anyone since I was born!"
Chu Jian twitched his lips: "But I heard that the prince is well-known in Shengjing City for being henpecked."
Luo Yechen was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Who spread this rumor?
When has this prince ever been henpecked? It's all nonsense!
I have always been the one who has the final say in this family, and the princess always listens to me!
If the king tells her to go west, she won’t dare to go east!
The King asked her to eat, but she didn't dare to drink the soup!
Still henpecked? This is absolutely ridiculous! "
After yelling, he immediately walked quickly to the door, peeked out, and saw the butler guarding the door. He must have heard what they had just said.
Luo Yechen glared at the butler and gave the order in a cowardly tone.
"Don't tell anyone what you just said, especially don't tell the princess!"
The butler said seriously, "What did the prince say just now? I didn't hear anything."
Luo Yechen's expression turned from gloomy to bright, and he said with satisfaction: "Very good! I will double your salary this month."
The housekeeper thanked him happily.
Chu Jian: “…”
Isn't this textbook henpecked? !
Yimei was still confused.
There seemed to be a line of big words written on her forehead -
Who am I? Where am I? What did they say?
Luo Yechen closed the door, turned around to look at Chu Jian, coughed lightly to cover up, and continued the previous topic as if nothing had happened.
"Since the Imperial Concubine is worried about the safety of the Third Princess, why not bring her directly to the palace? The palace should be safer than the Prince of England's mansion."
Chu Jian said, "The Imperial Concubine said that if the Third Princess entered the palace, things would become even more unclear."
Luo Yechen was confused: "Why can't they explain it clearly? Can they still put the blame on the imperial concubine?"
Chu Jian spread his hands: "I don't know either, but the Imperial Concubine arranged it this way anyway."
Luo Yechen frowned, looking bitter and resentful.
Chu Jian comforted.
"Don't be too nervous, Your Majesty. Just remember one thing -
Protect the third princess and don’t let anyone know that she is hiding in the British palace!
If you have any other questions, you can wait until tomorrow when you enter the palace and talk to the Imperial Concubine in person.
It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb your rest, Your Majesty. I’ll take my leave now!”
He clasped his fists towards Luo Yechen and prepared to leave.
Yi Mei quickly grabbed his sleeve.
"Where are you going?"
Chu Jian turned around and looked at her, just in time to meet her panicked and uneasy eyes.
Originally, Yimei looked down on this guard, but it was this young guard whom she looked down upon who saved her when she was most desperate and helpless.
She now looked around in confusion, not daring to trust anyone. Only the guard in front of her could make her feel at ease.
Chu Jian actually doesn't like this spoiled and willful third princess very much.
If his senior sister had not repeatedly told him to protect the Third Princess's safety, he would never have cared about the Third Princess's affairs.
But now, looking at the pitiful appearance of the Third Princess, Chu Jian suddenly recalled the little rabbit that he and his senior sister caught when they were in Xuanmen before.
When the rabbit was caught, its expression was exactly the same as that of the third princess in front of it.
So pitiful.
Chu Jian couldn't help but slow down his expression: "Princess, please stay here with peace of mind. It's safe here and no one will hurt you again."
Yimei couldn't understand what he was saying.
She could only hold on to his sleeve tightly, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.
Her eyes were full of pleading, begging him not to leave.
Beg him not to abandon her.
