Chapter 12 Robbery of civilian men After exchanging greetings with the empress, Di Ran left the palace, and his carriage was blocked on the street. "Your Majesty, the road ahead is blocked." A group of people gathered on the street, and a woman in an apricot-yellow shirt was teasing a man in mourning clothes. "You are lucky that I like you, don't be shameless!" The man was kneeling on the ground, his handsome face covered with tear marks and his eyes filled with a hint of stubbornness. "Young lady, I am very grateful that you paid for my mother's burial. I am willing to repay you by becoming your slave, but I don't want to be your servant." "How can you be so ungrateful? Do you know who my young lady is?" "My young lady is the niece of the current Minister of Rites and the cousin of Yao Guijun. If you follow my young lady, you will enjoy the best food and drink, and endless wealth and glory. You must think carefully." Liu Juan glanced at her subordinates and looked at the man with a hint of impatience in her eyes. "Don't waste your words on him. If you don't accept my toast, I will take you home today!"
"Catch him for me!" Upon hearing this, the man's handsome face turned pale and he quickly stood up, pushed through the crowd and ran away. Liu Juan was shocked: "Catch him!" The man who rushed out of the crowd happened to see Di Ran's carriage. When he saw two guards holding swords beside the carriage, he thought that the person in the carriage was of extraordinary status. He rushed over regardless of anything, as if he had seen a life-saving straw. However, before he could climb into the carriage, he was stopped. The female guard sneered: You are kidding, they were careless last time, they will not make such a low-level mistake again this time. "stop!" The man was stopped by the female guard's sword. The sharp and cold light of the sword made the man turn pale with fear. Hearing the pursuers approaching from behind, the man looked up at the carriage, his watery eyes showing a hint of panic and pity. "Miss, save me, please save me." Although the carriage was open, it was difficult to see the person inside clearly from the outside. I could only recognize that there was a woman inside. Di Ran just glanced at the man and ignored him. Upon seeing this, the female guard rudely threw the man out. "Ah~" The man was thrown to the ground, tears streaming down his face. At this time, Liu Juan and her men also rushed over. Seeing the man fall to the ground, Liu Juan became angry and slapped the man. "Snapped!--" "Bitch, it's your great fortune that I've fallen in love with you, and you dare to run away?"
The onlookers who saw this scene did not dare to step forward for fear of getting into trouble. At this moment, a clear male voice was heard. "stop!" Liu Juan, who hit the man, was stunned and looked up as everyone was looking at her. The crowd dispersed to form a path, and the curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted. Through a white gauze, the slender figure of a man was vaguely visible. Liu Juan narrowed her eyes and stared at the people in the carriage. "Who is it? How dare you meddle in my business?" The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a servant helped a man out from inside. The man was wearing a light green bamboo leaf gown, his black hair was tied up simply, his face was covered with a veil, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his eyes were like clear springs, and his whole body exuded elegance and reserve. Qingchen's temperament stunned Liu Juan. The guard beside the carriage saw Liu Juan staring at her own prince and couldn't help but scold her coldly. "How dare you! You don't even kneel down when you see the Third Prince!" "Third Prince?" Hearing this, the dazed Liu Juan came back to her senses. Then he glared at the guard angrily: "What Third Prince? Who do you think he is?" "I said he looked like my nineteenth concubine!" As he spoke, his evil gaze lingered on Ji Ruxue. That naked gaze seemed to strip people naked. (End of this chapter)
