"Ling'er!"

Li Yue couldn't help but look at the person crying at Jingjing's feet.

He stretched out his hand to pull Ling'er up and said, "Let's go."

The two of them stood up and walked a few steps, then Li Yue turned his head back and said, "Even if he's at fault, she's still a guest of the mansion, a guest of mine. I hope you can respect his."

"…" Alright, Li Yue, you're so deaf!

"Ahhh …"

Watching the two of them leave, Ah Bi seemed to feel Jingjing's anger. She carefully rubbed her head against Jingjing's body to comfort her.

"Miss, are you alright?" Man Qing looked at Jing Jing's livid face and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine!"

Jing Jing thought for a moment, then thought, it seems like today's lesson to Ling'er wasn't enough. I have to let her remember more.

Well, it wasn't enough to teach her a lesson.

The most important thing was that damned Li Yue.

Women usually don't blame men when they make mistakes.

Rather, he liked to blame all of his mistakes on the fox spirit.

They didn't know that without a man's lust, where would a fox spirit come from?

They had to remember to vent their anger together.

With this thought in mind, Jingjing felt more comforted.

He thought fiercely in his heart, 'Li Yue, if something like this were to happen again, I'll abandon you and protect General Xiahou. I'll let you die, and let General Xiahou live …'

It was obvious that Jingjing had overlooked some of the important points in the masked man's words …

Manqing looked at Jing Jing's green eyes that were filled with calculating light and couldn't help but shiver. She then started to pray with Ling'er and Li Yue.

"Miss, you …" Are you okay? " Manqing trembled as he asked.

Jing Jing withdrew her gaze and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

In his mind, he was already thinking of how to deal with the two of them.

After playing with her for a while, he came back to the Puzhen Courtyard for lunch.

After lunch, he propped his head up in the yard and tried to think of a way to deal with them.

While he was lost in thought, he heard a loud noise coming from outside.

Jing Jing, whose thoughts had been interrupted, looked outside in displeasure, then asked a servant not far away: "What's the matter?"

Ye Chong immediately walked over. She looked at Jingjing and said seriously, "Princess, do you remember that day when you came back, you were the one who infuriated Ah Bi, Little Ming?"

That stubborn face appeared in Jing Jing's mind, she nodded and said: "Remember, it's that group of child kings!"

Ye Chong nodded.

"What's wrong?" Jingjing asked.

Ye Chong's usually cold expression changed slightly. She looked at Jingjing and said, "That day the crowd panicked and punished a lot of people for causing trouble. This young man's punishment was the heaviest."

She looked at Ye Chong with pity on her face, and could not help but ask, "How?"

A person that Ye Chong pitied couldn't possibly not pique Jingjing's curiosity.

"Send her to the border," Ye Chong replied.

"It's that serious?"

Jingjing was a little surprised, she was just a naive child, there was no need to be like this.

She knew that the ancient punishment was severe, but she did not expect it to be this severe.

Ye Chong nodded his head, looked at Jingjing and said, "That's considered light enough." "In order to show that she is a good lady."

"My virtuous wife?" Jing Jing didn't understand so she asked, "Isn't it Li Yue?"

Ye Chong shook her head. "Does esteemed wangfei not know that the Ninth Prince has already made you a man of heaven? All the citizens of the city are now praising esteemed wangfei, so this young man should've died, but he's only sending you off to the border."

"So that's how it is!"

Jingjing was curious, why would Li Yue do such a thing?

Why did it feel like there was a huge conspiracy surrounding her?

"Then... It's noisy outside. Is it because that youth is unconvinced? " Jing Jing couldn't help but to ask.

To tell the truth, if you ignored that youth's mischievousness, then he would truly be a very brave youth.

And from the looks of it, it seemed to have quite an influence, with a large group of children following behind it.

Jingjing remembered that when he was wrapped up in Ah Bi's embrace, his expression didn't change at all. This stubborn young man definitely had a bright future ahead of him.

It was a pity to be sent to the border like this.

Ye Chong nodded. "It's a pity. We can't do anything once we're at the border."

In fact, Jingjing wanted to say that the Western Regions was half the border.

He held back his words and said: "If there is a young man, he will be able to do something when he reaches the border. "You don't have to do something in the city. At the border, you can actually train people."

"I thought you would plead for him."

"I always thought you were a soft-hearted person."

Jingjing couldn't help but laugh, "You want me to seek justice for him?"

Ye Chong did not say anything, admitting it tacitly.

For Ye Chong, who had just arrived here, Jingjing always had a special relationship with him.

Jing thought for a moment, then stood up and looked at Ye Chong, "Fine, I'll make the decision for him. Anyways, I have a big reputation now, I don't mind doing one more 'soft-hearted' thing."

For that youth, Jingjing only admired him.

Furthermore, she would not go against the laws of the country to Li Yue again for the sake of that youth.

However, since even someone as heartless as Ye Chong couldn't bear to help, Jingjing decided to give it a try.

Jing Jing followed Ye Chong out of the Puzhen Courtyard, and saw the teenager being surrounded and pushed around by several guards by the river, he didn't know what to say.

When they got closer, they heard the young man say angrily, "Don't push me, I can walk by myself. You bunch of imperial eagles only know how to bully the good and fear the evil. Scram …" "I can walk by myself, humph …"

Hm?

The court's hound?

This was a good description. Hearing this youth speak clearly, could it be that … Did he read it?

His clothes were tattered, and he didn't look like a kid from a rich family.

Furthermore, from the meaning behind his words, it seemed that they were all filled with dissatisfaction towards the imperial government. Why would a twelve to thirteen year old youth be so dissatisfied … Angry?

Jingjing couldn't help but to step forward. When the guard and the youth sensed the arrival of Jingjing and Ye Chong, they quieted down and saluted.

Only the youth had his hands and feet shackled, but he had a proud and aloof look on his face. He raised his dirty chin and looked away.

Ye Chong couldn't help but look at Jingjing with a frown. Jingjing didn't think he was rude, and rather admired him.

"What's going on?" Jingjing walked up and asked.

One of the guards came out and answered, "To reply the Empress, he is very unwilling to accept this and is unwilling to cooperate. In the Prince's Mansion, it's not good to quarrel with servants. If there's a dispute that disturbed the wangfei, please forgive me!"

Jingjing looked at that stubborn youth. She had thought that he would try to defend himself or plead for mercy, but he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of doing so.

In her heart, Jing Jing felt that he was ambitious. She couldn't help but look at the young man: "Tell me, what is going on? "Little Ming!"

When the young man heard Jingjing call out his name, a flash of surprise crossed his face.

After which, he slowly turned his head and looked at Jingjing.

When he saw Jingjing's beautiful face, he was shocked speechless for a long time.

He only felt that Jingjing was like a fairy descending to the mortal world. Her noble aura was extremely pressing, as if she was an unreachable fairy.

"Hmm?" Jing Jing said in confusion. This young man was about two or three years younger than her, but he was quite tall.

Standing in front of Jingjing, he was actually a bit taller than her, but he was thin and looked very short.

And everyone present, including Jingjing, had no idea how much this young man would do, or how many unimaginable things would happen between him and Jingjing.

After being interrupted by Jingjing's nasal voice, Little Ming's face turned red. He hurriedly lowered his head, and his stubborn expression turned into one of distress.

"Hey, your noble body is talking to you, do you hear me?" One of the guards shouted, and Little Ming came back to his senses.

When she raised her head again, she had already recovered her expression. When she looked at Jingjing's face, her expression was sorrowful.

He said earnestly, "Esteemed wangfei, this commoner knows I've committed a crime and was sent to the border to save my life. I deserve my punishment for doing so, but my friends are innocent. They didn't do anything but admire esteemed wangfei's ability to tame the python."

"Your friend? What happened to them? " Jing Jing asked in puzzlement, with a patient and attentive look on her face.

Little Ming's eyes were still red despite his stubbornness. "It's those children behind me. They're all younger than me, without any parents, but they want to be sold off as slaves. They didn't make a mistake and angered the python. It's my fault, so I beg esteemed wangfei to bypass them!"

After he finished speaking, the stubborn youth placed his right fist on his left chest and bowed, kneeling down on one knee.

Jing Jing was surprised.

When he saw Duan Ling Tian, he had a disdainful expression and didn't salute.

And now, seeing that Jingjing was willing to help, she didn't do it for herself, but for those innocent children.

"They are all fatherless children? "What about you?" Jing Jing didn't answer in a hurry, so she asked him.

His expression was stubborn. "My parents are gone too. They've all died in the hands of the imperial government, where they were forced to collect taxes."

No wonder he hated soldiers so much.

Jingjing nodded and said, "The people in the court are just the law enforcers, not everyone is a bad person." The way the people in the imperial government collect taxes might be wrong, they might be wrong, but not everyone in the imperial government is like this. If you, a hot-blooded man, are unwilling, you have to report to the imperial government and suppress this kind of behavior. "

He proudly raised his chin out of habit: "That's why I can do the same when you send me to the border. I'm just asking you to let those kids go. They're not like me. "

Jingjing nodded and asked Ye Chong, "Can I make the decision?"

Hearing Xiao Ming's words, Ye Chong was also a little surprised. She nodded and said, "Originally, this was handled by the Ninth Prince, so the wangfei cannot interfere, but …" This was because of the princess consort, who was also the first-rate wife's first wife. These matters could naturally be dealt with. Moreover, those children only wanted to be slaves, so Princess Hua-Yang could absolutely make the decision. As long as she only knew the ninth prince.

"That's good!"

Jing Jing nodded, and then pointed to one of the guards: "Go, release those children and find a place to take them in separately. If I have the time in the future, I will help you take a look at them. "

Little Ming's eyes lit up as he knelt on the ground, full of gratitude. "Esteemed wangfei's great kindness, this subject will definitely repay it!"

Jingjing nodded and said, "From your words, I seem to have read a book? "What's your last name?"

Little Ming stood up, hearing Jingjing address herself as "I" to the guards, but calling herself "I" to himself, his heart was even more touched.
