Chapter 28 Rescue
Lu Jiuqing knew Chen Yuan in his previous life.
At that time, Chen Yuan was not a poor little boy who was kneeling on the street and selling his body to bury his father. She is the daughter of General Chen who is stationed at the border. She is the princess conferred by His Majesty, and she is the intended Crown Princess of His Majesty the Crown Prince.
She met Chen Yuan at the prince's residence.
At that time, she was a little bit like she is now, cold and taciturn.
However, she respected His Highness the Crown Prince very much, even to the point of obeying his orders.
According to her status, there was no need to be humble in front of the prince, but when no one was around, she seemed to treat the prince as her master and let him dictate.
Lu Jiuqing was deeply impressed by her not because of this, but because Chen Yuan had excellent archery skills and almost always hit the mark.
Why does she know? Because she had seen Chen Yuan assassinate Mo Xiao more than once with her own eyes.
The Ninth Prince almost died at the hands of Chen Yuan.
At this time, Lu Jiuqing looked at Chen Yuan in front of him with mixed emotions.
She thought, if she didn't care, would Chen Yuan stand by the prince's side like in the previous life, and then come to assassinate Mo Xiao again and again? With her status and her perfect archery skills, if she persisted, she might actually be able to kill Mo Xiao.
She was extremely confused.
Chen Yuan couldn't wait any longer: "Do you want to buy me? If not, get out of the way."
Lu Jiuqing: "..."
Sure enough, Sister Yan will drag her no matter what the situation is.
She gritted her teeth: "Buy it!"
She took out the money bag from her arms and gave it to Chen Yuan: "Is it enough?"
Chen Yuan's eyes finally got a little brighter. He opened the purse and looked at it. He took out five taels of silver and said, "These are enough."
She returned the purse to Lu Jiuqing and said solemnly: "After I bury my father, I will come to find you. If you are worried, you can follow me."
Lu Jiuqing: "...I'll follow you."
It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I think a little girl like her might not be able to handle it well, so she can do me a favor.
Chen Yuan nodded and stood up to leave, but stumbled when he stood up.
Lu Jiuqing stepped forward to support her, but her hands seemed to have touched ice cubes. The girl was almost freezing.
Lu Jiuqing took off her coat and wrapped it around Chen Yuan's body. She took her to the wonton stall and asked the boss to cook her a large bowl of hot wontons.
"You should eat something to keep yourself warm."
Chen Yuan stared at the bowl of wontons for a while, then looked at Lu Jiuqing.
The other party had no coat, and his lips were a little white from the cold.
She pursed her lips and said, "I will repay you."
Then he picked up the wontons and ate them.
Lu Jiuqing: "..."
She was still a little afraid of Chen Yuan, but when she saw her seriously saying that she wanted to repay her, she was still a little moved.
She couldn't help but think that in her previous life, the prince must have helped her, right? So she ignored everything and gave everything to repay the prince.
Strictly speaking, apart from assassinating Mo Xiao, Chen Yuan did not do anything harmful to nature.
After Chen Yuan finished eating, Lu Jiuqing followed her to her home.
When they arrived at the place, Lu Jiuqing discovered that it turned out to be a ruined temple with air leakage from all sides.
Chen Yuan entered the temple, went directly to the corner, opened a pile of withered grass, and found the body of a middle-aged man wrapped in a mat inside.
Chen Yuan said: "My adoptive father, he picked me up and raised me."
So, she wanted to repay him.
