Chapter 132 The Prince Finally Understood One Acupuncture Point
And so, Guard Jiang took up his post.
And they were on duty without stopping.
He only exchanged a few words with his own prince from beginning to end. After those few words, the prince asked Feng Yue to take him to find a job.
As soon as Feng Yue left Feng Hua Palace, he could no longer suppress his smile and even punched Jiang Zhuo's shoulder twice, looking extremely happy.
The worry and anxiety that had arisen in Jiang Zhuo along the way had dissipated, but what followed was a faint sense of helplessness.
After being brutally attacked by Feng Yue, he couldn't help but frown.
"What are you doing? Why are you so happy? Are you gloating?"
Feng Yue found it increasingly amusing, and only after they reached a secluded spot did he suppress his laughter and say to Jiang Zhuo, "I really never expected this!"
"So, it really is schadenfreude?"
"No! Let me finish!"
Feng Yue chuckled twice and said with a sly smile, "Our prince has finally figured it out and knows to be wary of wild men!"
These words were so cryptic that Jiang Zhuo frowned, looking completely bewildered.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly!"
What does it have to do with him to guard against unwanted men?
Jiang Zhuo expressed his incomprehension.
Feng Yue still laughed heartily: "You probably don't know, but when the prince said he wanted you to protect Consort Su, he actually wanted you to keep an eye on her and prevent her from having any contact with men outside!"
Jiang Zhuo's brows furrowed even more deeply.
He grasped two key points: first, 'watching Consort Su'; second, 'the men outside'.
So, his prince summoned him back to prevent Consort Su from having an affair.
Recalling the sight of Consort Su at the gate of the Prince's mansion, Jiang Zhuo felt utterly disgusted. The Prince was completely wasting his talents; he was clearly cut out for military campaigns, yet he was sent back to ruthlessly sever ties with other women!
Seeing that Jiang Zhuo remained silent, Feng Yue added, "Actually, Your Highness's excuse is rather lame. Saying you want to protect Consort Su, even if you and I joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for Consort Su. Why would we need anyone to protect her?"
Jiang Zhuo stopped in his tracks, somewhat incredulous at these words.
"You're saying Consort Su is more skilled than me?"
Jiang Zhuo was the most skilled and intelligent member of the Snow Shadow Guard. Hearing that a woman was more capable than him made Jiang Zhuo a little incredulous.
Feng Yue chuckled twice more.
Speaking with the air of someone who's been there, he said, "You'll see later. When Consort Su makes a move, it's incredibly clean, efficient, and amazing! If our master were to give up two legs, he really wouldn't be a match for Consort Su!"
At this point, Jiang Zhuo became somewhat puzzled.
"Since Consort Su is so capable, why did Your Highness summon me back?"
"Don't you understand this?"
Feng Yue walked along, glancing around to make sure no one was watching. "Our Consort Su... well, she's not very good at guarding against those vixens outside. There are always people who come up to her, and she doesn't know how to refuse! And Your Highness can't say this to Consort Su openly, so this important task is entrusted to you!"
Jiang Zhuo became even more depressed upon hearing the words "vixen".
"Why do I have to do this? Wouldn't it be more suitable for you to do it?"
Feng Yue didn't expect Jiang Zhuo to ask the key question so quickly. He frowned and thought for a moment, but still didn't know the answer.
In the end, he could only shrug and say, "Anyway, our master has his reasons for doing things. We don't care about all that, we'll just follow orders!"
When Jiang Zhuo learned that Consort Su was three years younger than him, his expression became even stranger.
Meanwhile, Su Mowan, who had just returned to Huangfeng Garden, had already decided to use Jiang Zhuo as her subject. After Qinghe mixed the paint, she grabbed a wolf-hair brush, laid out the Xuan paper, and was ready to get started.
Then two very faint footsteps interrupted her interest.
"Go and see what Feng Yue is up to."
She gave instructions to Yinshuang, who was closer to the door.
Just as Yinshuang turned to leave, she saw Feng Yue and Jiang Zhuo enter Huangfeng Garden side by side. The former had a good expression, while the latter was expressionless.
"Reporting to Consort Su, Feng Yue has arrived with Young Master Jiang."
Since Consort Su referred to Jiang Zhuo as Young Master Jiang, Yinshuang followed suit.
Upon hearing the words "Young Master Jiang," Qinghe, who was about to put away the excess paint, suddenly trembled, and the joy in her heart was written all over her face.
Su Mowan noticed her unusual behavior and immediately teased her without any politeness: "You get this excited as soon as you hear that Young Master Jiang is here. Feng Yue will be upset if he finds out, won't he?"
Although Qinghe is about the same age as Su Mowan, she is still a bit slow to understand things. Su Mowan often brings up her and Feng Yue, which always makes Qinghe very angry. It's quite amusing to tease her about it.
But this time, miraculously, it didn't work.
Qinghe turned her face away shyly and shrank to the side, but her gaze remained fixed on the doorway.
Su Mowan was a little unsure whether she was shy because of Jiang Zhuo or Feng Yue.
Before Su Mowan could figure it out, Feng Yue and Jiang Zhuo had already arrived outside the door. Before Yin Shuang could announce their arrival, Su Mowan said, "Please come in, both of you."
Jiang Zhuo paused slightly.
He had never been to the backyard of the Prince's mansion, so he felt slightly uneasy.
The thought that he might have to run to the backyard often in the future filled Jiang Zhuo's handsome face with an indescribable worry.
Su Mowan looked at the two people in front of her with a smile.
She asked in a gentle voice, "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"
Usually, only Feng Yue comes to deliver messages, but this time he brought Jiang Zhuo with him. What are they up to? Are they going to arrest her?
Or should she be placed under house arrest?
She knew that Murong Jing's nonchalant attitude after hearing the news that she wanted to paint handsome men yesterday was just to deceive her!
But even if you don't want her to go out and wander around, you don't have to go to the trouble of bringing Jiang Zhuo back from Jiangnan, do you?
Su Mowan's mind was racing, but Jiang Zhuo's next words almost made her brain freeze.
Jiang Zhuo respectfully replied, "Reporting to Consort Su, His Highness has instructed me to serve as your bodyguard from now on."
Guards?!
Qinghe stared wide-eyed in surprise, her gaze fixed on Jiang Zhuo. Such a talent was being wasted like this?!
There are plenty of guards in the mansion, not to mention secret guards!
Only Yinshuang's eyes flickered slightly, and she silently lowered her head.
Su Mowan swallowed hard.
"I...I don't need any guards here. It's not good for Young Master Jiang to suffer like this. Feng Yue, you go and talk to Murong Jing. There's no need for such trouble!"
Why would he suddenly send a handsome young man to follow her around? Murong Jing never acts impulsively; there must be some unspeakable reason behind it.
Even with her sharpest mind, she couldn't come up with a solution this time.
Qinghe and Yinshuang had heard Consort Su directly address Murong Jing by his name, so they remained calm at this moment.
Although it was the first time Feng Yue had heard it, he was already used to Consort Su's 'overstepping of boundaries'.
Only Jiang Zhuo, who had just rushed back from Jiangnan to work as a guard, stared at Su Mowan in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.
