Chapter 30 Want her to become the prince consort
The two arrived at Situ Yuanxiao’s residence not long after. Zhao Zimu thought for a moment and asked, “Do you have a keepsake?”
Ningan hurriedly probed on her body after hearing that and took out a yellow jade pendant. Zhao Zimu took it, threw it at the guard guarding the door and said, “This is the princess’s item. Tell fifth prince that Ningan is looking for him.”
Even if Ningan didn’t mention it, she knew that her identity had been guessed by the other party. Aside from some worry, there was a small expectation in her heart. How would he view her? Ningan secretly observed the man’s face while she thought nervously.
The guards at the door exchanged a glance. The gaze they swept at the jade pendant was a bit with alert.
The person who suddenly appeared was suspicious and he was carrying someone of unknown origin. However, the person even used the princess’s name. They had to treat this with caution.
One of the guards took the jade pendant and went into the residence. Soon, Situ Yuanxiao came out and stared at the person held by Zhao Zimu.
Ningan revealed her face and looked at him happily.
Situ Yuanxiao was furious.
He rushed forward and shouted, “Presumptuous, what did you do to Ningan? Let her go!”
Situ Yuanxiao had never thought that his little sister would be held like this by a man. Bad things immediately appeared in his mind.
If, if something had happened. Situ Yuanxiao didn’t dare to think more. This is Great Liang’s seventh princess!
Situ Yuanxiao gestured. Immediately the guards of the fifth prince’s residence surrounded Zhao Zimu, drew out their swords and pointed it at her.
Ningan panicked and quickly jumped from Zhao Zimu’s arms. She ran forward, grabbed Situ Yuanxiao’s hand and said, “Big brother, what are you doing? The situation isn’t like what you are thinking. Stop. It is Zhao Zhong who saved me!
Situ Yuanxiao looked at the clothes on Ningan. He didn’t have the time to think and took off his coat to put it on her and covered her with it. He protected her with both hands but the gaze casted at Zhao Zimu was very unfriendly.
“Ningan, let talk when we go back. This is not a place to talk.” As Situ Yuanxiao spoke and said to the guards surrounding Zhao Zimu, “Detain him, don’t let him escape.”
No matter what the matter was, first lock this bastard up. Moreover, a princess is of noble blood. How could her body be seen by this bastard? Situ Yuanxiao’s thoughts run quickly.
“No, no, fifth big brother. He saved me. You can’t treat him like this. If it wasn’t because of him, I, I would’ve long been…,” Ningan couldn’t continue. Tears rolled again in her eyes and she looked pitifully at him.
Situ Yuanxiao didn’t expect that Ningan would break away from him and run over to the bastard to defend him. He was very angry. Was this bastard so important to not even care about her chastity anymore?!
Also, how could his little sister sneak out of the palace and turned into such a state? If emperor father and empress mother got to know about this, he didn’t know how furious they would be.
In short, he had to get them in first. What kind of image would they give if they continue to stand at the door like this?!
Men in ancient times matured early. When Situ Yuanxiao was twelve-year-old, he was got permission to open his own residence. He has his own residence outside the palace. Wives and concubines also already filled his backyard. When something happens, he would deal with matters in a more mature way.
Situ Yuanxiao let the people surrounding Zhao Zimu disperse. He pulled Ningan from Zhao Zimu’s side and walked into the residence. Zhao Zimu consciously followed behind them. She didn’t look like she would do something.
“Alright, now you can tell fifth big brother how you turned into such a state. Also, why did you sneak out of the palace? And what is the matter with him?” As soon as they entered the room, Situ Yuanxiao asked in one breath. He was really worried and anxious. An imperial daughter was unmatchable noble.
Here was Situ Yuanxiao’s study. To prevent others from eavesdropping, Situ Yuanxiao sent many people to guard outside.
Ningan lowered her head and whispered, “I only wanted to come out and have fun. Unexpectedly, I ran into a few evil scoundrels and was almost dishonored. Fortunately, fortunately, Zhao Zhong saved me.” Having said that, she looked once at Zhao Zhong and said to Situ Yuanxiao, “Big brother, we must thank him well.”
Situ Yuanxiao almost died from fury, “Why, why is your gal so big? Not only did you sneak out of the palace, you also didn’t bring any guards! What can fifth brother say? If something happens to you! You…”
Situ Yuanxiao was so angry that he couldn’t continue. Ningan had been well-behaved usually. Why did she suddenly want to get out of the palace? Could it be that he had taught her the bad ways?
Situ Yuanxiao was a bit panicked. He only brought her out once!
“Alright, big brother, don’t be angry anymore. Also, you must help me catch the bad guys!” Ningan shook Situ Yuanxiao’s hand. This princess seemed to have completely forgotten the danger of not long ago. She was still young. Zhao Zimu thought silently.
Seeing the sorry state that Ningan was in, Situ Yuanxiao also felt distressed and quickly said, “Alright, big brother promises you as long as you definitely not be so reckless again in the future. Even if you want to go out in the future, you have to tell your big brother. Big brother would find a way for you.”
Ningan finally broke into a smile and acted cute with Situ Yuanxiao, “Also Zhao Zhong, let him stay at our residence for a few more days. I want to show my gratitude well.”
Ningan was a bit shy.
Situ Yuanxiao looked at Zhao Zimu and said, “Presumably, you already know our identity. I hope that you don’t spread today’s matter. Well, brother Zhao, let’s stay a few days in my residence and let’s get to know each other. Let’s forget about the previous matters. Little sister is of imperial blood. You have saved her. I will give you anything you want.”
Zhao Zimu who had remained silent spoke. Her voice was cold, “Prince don’t have to be polite. It is also this humble one’s honor to save the princess. This humble one still has matters to do and will pass on this.”
“What, you dare to disobey my order?” Situ Yuanxiao said and Ningan looked ta him anxiously, “You, you are leaving?”
“Princess, we are strangers who met by chance. Saving you was also a coincidence. You don’t have to thank me,” Zhao Zimu said indifferently. The white robe made her body appear more slender and straight. Her eyebrows were slightly lowered, making her appear more alienated and cold.
“Big brother,” Ningan asked for Situ Yuanxiao’s help. Instead, Situ Yuanxiao rolled his eyes and secretly winked at Ningan, signaling her to stay calm. He slowed down his speaking pace and said to Zhao Zimu, “If that is the case, this prince will not keep you. Where do you live? This prince will definitely come to thank you another day.”
“No need,” After having said that, she paid her respect, pushed the door open and left.
Situ Yuanxiao grabbed Ningan who wanted to chase after her. Then, he gave the guards outside a meaningful glance. One of the guards quietly left.
Ningan looked at him a bit uneasy and asked, “Big brother, what do you want to do? I will tell you, you are not allowed to bully him.”
Situ Yuanxiao quickly calmed her down and said, “What are you thinking about? I only let someone follow that guy to see where he lives. As long as we figure out his identity, it is more convenient for us to do anything.”
That Zhao Zhong’s personality is bad and stubborn. His mouth is like a clam shell that is unable to open. If another saw him (SYX), they would eagerly report their family and wouldn’t be able to wait to flatter him. He gave him (ZZ) a chance, but he didn’t grab it. When he finds out his identity, he would teach him a lesson. Situ Yuanxiao thought.
Members of the imperial family were used to being haughty, arrogant and considered everyone else beneath them. People who dared to ignore them naturally made them unhappy. Situ Yuanxiao wasn’t an exception.
“Oh…,” Ningan said a bit dejected. Situ Yuanxiao patted her head and said, “Are you tired? Big brother will let people prepare good things for you. Stay here tonight at big brother’s. Tomorrow morning, big brother will send you back to the palace.”
“Big brother, what do you think of him?” Ningan asked suddenly.
“Not so good. Arrogant and rude. If it wasn’t because he had saved you, big brother would’ve long beaten him.”
“You are not allowed to say that of him! He isn’t that kind of person!” Ningan said fiercely.
“Okay, okay, okay, it is like whatever you say.” Situ Yuanxiao surrendered.
“I also want to let him become the prince consort…,” Ningan muttered.
“Ah, what did you say…?” Situ Yuanxiao asked a bit confused. The voice was too low. He didn’t hear clearly.
Ningan glanced at him faintly. Suddenly, she said slowly, “I, just, won’t, tell, you!” After she spoke, she ran away with a smile.
This, Situ Yuanxiao was dumbfounded. Why was she suddenly happy? Could it be that something went wrong? Situ Yuanxiao immediately yelled at the door, “Servant, quickly go invite an imperial physician over!”
