The autumn wind rustled, and the moonlit night was sultry.

Lu Qiange was wronged for no reason, and his angry white face suddenly was like being cooked. He hugged Gu Yunxi and retorted in a deep voice,

"I didn't do anything evil. Be cautious about your words!"

"Oops, you are a bastard! You are still so arrogant after being caught!"

The girl's face suddenly changed, and she waved to the side as she scolded.

The maids next to her immediately threw down the palace lantern, and leaped forward to the opposite side of Lu Qiange. With the fierce momentum and body skills, it seemed that she could play Kungfu.

The maid looked at Gu Yunxi, who was unconscious, and the sack on the ground. She turned her head and shouted to the girl in the pink cloak,

"Princess, this guy is really not a good person. The sack on the ground is proof!"

Princess?

Lu Qiange frowned when he heard the voice. He looked at the girl on the corridor with surprise, and saw her raising her hand and pointing towards him, screaming,

"Yaoer, catch him for me—"

With a command, the maid immediately started to attack Lu Qiange with left punches and right kicks. The moves did reflect rigorous practice and were absolutely unambiguous.

Anyway, Lu Qiange was also the third Prince of Udan, the famous Lone Ranger all corners of the country. How could he be regarded as a womanizer by these ignorant women with long hair and short knowledge?

Upon thinking of it, Lu Qiange became angry. He put down Gu Yunxi and bent to avoid the attack of the maid.

Seeing that she was still chasing after him and did not give up, Lu Qiange gradually became angry and refused to give in. He turned his palm into a blade and used real skills. Without five moves, he hit the palace maid's heart with one palm.

The maid screamed and fell at the feet of the Princess. Her face was sallow and painful.

Seeing this, the Princess was furious and waved again to command,

"Jin'er, go!"

The other maid lifted her fist and was prepared, yelling and leaning towards Lu Qiange.

Gu Yunxi opened her eyes faintly in confusion.

She had been taking Hanfu pills, whose ingredients were the same as the medicinal properties of the smoke that she just got. As a result, she had a certain degree of resistance to narcotics, which made her wake up earlier than ordinary people.

Hearing the sound of fighting, Gu Yunxi slowly propped up her body from the ground, rubbing her dizzy head with her hand,

"Where am I?"

She looked around in confusion, and suddenly someone crouched in front of her, holding her shoulders with a firm expression,

"Don't be afraid. You are still in the Palace now. I saved you. I'm arresting the gangster and will bring fairness back to you later."

Then she confidently patted her chest.

Gu Yunxi took a closer look at the girl by the quiet moonlight, and was immediately shocked. She struggled to kneel and knock on the ground,

"I'm Tu Muxue, the chief maid of the Chuxiu Palace. Tu Muxue bows before the Fourth Princess."

Emperor Jingxiao of Da Yi had four daughters. Concubine Shu gave birth to Huanan Jixiang, the Third Princess. The Imperial Noble Concubine gave birth to Huanan Jiyue, the Fifth Princess, and Huanan Jiyang, the Sixth Princess.

And this woman was the daughter of the Emperor and Empress Qian of the Eastern Palace, the Fourth Princess, Huanan Jiyan.

Huanan Jiyan waved her hand generously at this time and was in fine fettle.

"All right. All right. I know you. Aren't you the palace maid who makes the best pastries in Concubine Xu's palace? You are lucky today to meet me. When the bastard is caught, I must let my mother punish him."

"I want to tell you that my two maids are very good at fighting, and always win even when fighting against the Honour Guards. Hey, hey, look at the excellent moves they use..."

Huanan Jiyan kept praising her subordinates, and heard Gu Yunxi's sudden scream.

Watching the two people fighting, she recognized that one of them was Lu Qiange.

"Princess, I beseech your mercy. Hurry up to tell your maids to stop!"

"Ah? Why?" Huanan Jiyan was reluctant, "Are you afraid Jin'er will beat the man to death?"

"No," Gu Yunxi was able neither to cry nor to laugh, "I'm afraid that your subordinates might be hurt..."

Could Gu Yunxi not know how excellent Lu Qiange's skill was?

Huanan Jiyan snorted coldly and turned her eyes to Gu Yunxi, obviously not convinced.

Then there was another scream of "Ah" and the maid named Jin'er was also defeated.

"Brother Lu, please stop!"

The situation was not good. Gu Yunxi stood up and shouted, feeling dizzy again.

Huanan Jiyan was shocked and her bright eyes widened. She was obviously unable to accept this fact and pointed at Lu Qiange and Gu Yunxi,

"Wait, wait! Do you know each other?"

Gu Yunxi reluctantly explained,

"Princess, you really misunderstand. The gangster who attacked me was another person. This is Lu Jian, the imperial bodyguard of Tiger Battalion of Honour Guards. The gangster is definitely not him!"

"Do you wake up? Are you well now?"

Hearing that sound like Yunxi's call, Lu Qiange felt uneasy, walked over and asked her with concern. Finding her faltering, he supported her with his hands.

Gu Yunxi smiled gratefully,

"Thank you, Brother Lu. I'm fine."

Huanan Jiyan was not resigned, and hurriedly interjected,

"Tu Muxue, can you recognize this person clearly? Some imperial bodyguards may also harbor evil designs."

"Who are you talking about?"

Lu Qiange had always been tsundere. How could he tolerate being slandered by others? His handsome face turned red with anger and he sternly looked at Huanan Jiyan.

The two palace maids had just suffered a loss, knowing the young man's skill. Seeing his iron fists clenched and creaked like a lion with exploded hair, they screamed, and hid behind the Princess.

Gu Yunxi just wanted to laugh when she saw it. Was it embarrassing to say that they could beat all Honour Guards?

The princess protected the two palace maids but with a proud posture. She said to Lu Qiange,

"You, do you want to eat us? You are good at fighting, right? Is it amazing? Do you know who I am? You are a bastard!"

"Damn it. Do you dare to call me 'bastard' again?"

Lu Qiange suddenly frowned.

There was only one person in the world who could call him "bastard", but it was not the unreasonable princess of Da Yi in front of him!

Gu Yunxi was anxious and helpless. She didn't want to let the two quarrel anymore, so she pushed Lu Qiange and turned to persuade the Fourth Princess,

"Princess, I thank you for your compassion. However, it was the man dressed as a eunuch who attacked me. It was indeed not Lu Jian."

Lu Qiange echoed unhappily,

"When I was on patrol, I saw a person dressed like a eunuch carrying a sack and felt strange. Therefore, I chased that person and saw that you were unconscious in the sack. What is the problem? Who did you offend?"

With things as such, Huanan Jiyan had no words to refute. She rolled her bright eyes and looked at Gu Yunxi and Lu Qiange up and down respectively, and then swung her sleeves angrily,

"Hey, it's okay. It can be said that I wronged him!"

Lu Qiange refused to take off the gloves and said coldly,

"What's 'it can be said'? It was! If I hadn't helped her in time, Tu Muxue would have been killed long ago!"

A maid bravely stretched out her neck and shouted behind the Princess,

"Hey, you are only a little imperial bodyguard of Honour Guards. How can you say 'you' and 'I' in front of the Princess? You should call yourself 'subordinate' or 'servant'!"

Lu Qiange narrowed his eyes and fought back awe-inspiringly,

"I'm not a eunuch, so why should I call myself a servant?"

Gu Yunxi knew the temperament of Lu Qiange, and it was hard for him to be obedient.

However, now Lu Qiange was in the Palace as an imperial bodyguard of Honour Guards. Didn't he have to pretend to be obedient when meeting the master?

No one knew what kind of temper the Fourth Princess had. If she was treacherous and ruthless like the Imperial Noble Concubine, would she directly ask someone to tie up and decapitate Lu Qiange?

Gu Yunxi was worried about Lu Qiange. She kept pulling on the hem of his clothes, winking at him.

Lu Qiange couldn't do anything about it. He was also annoyed by the inexplicable Princess's noise, so he held back his impatience and held his fist perfunctorily to the Princess,

"Your subordinate Lu Jian bows before Princess. I'm on night duty. If Princess doesn't have other commands, your subordinate will go on patrol."

Huanan Jiyan frowned and looked at Lu Qiange up and down for a moment. She waved at him carelessly.

Lu Qiange turned around and left without reluctance. He immediately turned into the palace road and went to the right.

Huanan Jiyan didn't see him anymore and muttered to herself,

"Well! The toy boy is fine-looking but bad-tempered..."

There was a sudden movement of people not far from the corridor, and the girls were shocked again.

Gu Yunxi stretched her arms to protect the Fourth Princess. She squinted vigilantly, and looked towards the person who came.

The moonlight illuminated the man's face, revealing the handsome and childish facial features of Huanan Xin, Prince Chen.

"Haha, do I scare you guys? It's fun! It's me!"

Huanan Xin pointed at the tip of his nose, joking and jumping over to hold Gu Yunxi,

"Hey! Miss, why are you here too?"

"Royal brother?"

Seeing Prince Chen, Huanan Jiyan was stunned for a moment,

"Do nannies not discipline you at night and let you play out?"

Prince Chen scratched his head, feeling a bit sad,

"There is a family banquet tonight, but you don't take me there..."

Huanan Jiyan suddenly looked sad and sighed as if she was about to say something. Gu Yunxi exclaimed all of a sudden,

"Oh, what time is it now? I must go back to the Chuxiu Palace to get furry clothes for the master. It must be late now."

Huanan Jiyan patted her on the shoulder, comforting,

"You can be forgiven for being framed by others. I will go with you to see Concubine Xu to be a witness."

Hearing this, Gu Yunxi no longer worried, and expressed her thanks to the Princess.

Huanan Xin also thumped his chest and said confidently,

"I'll go with you, too. Concubine Xu likes me. I'll ask her to let me go to the Chuxiu Palace later."
