Chapter 873: Smell the rosin

"No, Your Highness, I'm not talking about leaving the palace this time. Yue Xiuju hurriedly said, her tone was very eager, as if she was afraid that Qin Su would not believe it: "In fact, Madame returned to the palace very early for the night tour that night. It's just that not long after returning to the palace, the lady quietly went out again. Because she saw that I always followed my wife, she rewarded me with this ...... This bracelet told me not to follow her, and told me to hide it...... Hide it from Your Highness......"

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and by the end it was almost inaudible.

"Then you really didn't follow?" Qin Su asked, still with no expression on his face.

Yue Xiuju quietly glanced up at her, and was meeting the other party's indifferent eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, hurriedly lowered her head again, and said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, I'm ...... After I took the bracelet, I remembered His Highness's advice and was also afraid...... I was afraid that something would happen, so I ...... I sneaked up behind Madame. ”

"Really?" Qin Su looked at her with a faint smile, with a smile on his face: "You are really loyal." ”

Yue Xiuju's body trembled so much that she didn't dare to speak anymore, she only shrank down desperately, as if this was the only way to avoid the cold eyes.

Qin Su looked at her condescendingly, and there was no anger in his heart.

What she hated was not Yue Xiuju, but Li Shuyi.

There must be something wrong with this man's brain.

Most of the time, Lizzy always seems unusually smart. For example, she could see at a glance that Yue Xiuju was the one who stared at her, and she also saw who she was, and she saw through the greedy nature of the other party, so she gave up her blood to bribe.

However, at certain times, Li Shuyi's head is as stupid as a stubborn stone, for the sake of Xue Erlang, she simply doesn't even want her life, she can really kill people just by thinking about it.

Fortunately, Jiang Banniang pestered Xue Yunheng all the way that night, and Li Shuyi must not have had the opportunity to have a private meeting with Xue Erlang, which is really lucky.

Thinking like this, Qin Su glanced at Yue Xiuju again.

This Yue Zhuren is also restless, he clearly took Li Shuyi's reward, but he still went to stalk secretly, Qin Su never believed that she was staring at Li Shuyi because she was worried that something would happen.

People who are too flexible will think a lot. At that time, Yue Xiuju was afraid that she was also a little cautious.

"Why don't you go on? You followed your wife all the way, and then? What did you see?" Qin Su asked lightly, but the smile on his face was sweet, as if he was talking about something happy, and walked forward slowly.

Yue Xiuju didn't dare to raise her head, hung her head and followed behind Qin Su, and said in a trembling voice: "Go back...... When I returned to His Royal Highness, I followed my wife out of Yilan Palace, and I saw that my wife was going to the Yulu River...... I went over there, and I picked up the palace road where no one was there. Afterward...... Later, I saw that my wife seemed to have met someone, and suddenly she walked back quickly. I'm afraid...... Afraid of being bumped into by his wife, he hurriedly found a place to hide. When I hid it, my wife was...... It's gone. ”

When she said this, she swallowed her saliva, and said softly: "I waited in place for a long time before I saw Madame come back again, looking like she was hiding from someone...... Walk very fast. I looked behind my wife, and I saw what seemed to be a flash of ...... in the distance The figure of a man. It's just that it's too far away, and I can't see it clearly, and then ...... I...... I went back to the palace, and then Madame came back. ”

"That's all?" Qin Su asked with a cold face.

Yue Xiuju nodded hurriedly: "That's all, Your Highness, really...... There really isn't any. ”

Qin Su's gaze swept over the sugar jade bracelet on her wrist, and then turned to the pine forest on one side.

The palace road is wide and smooth, all the way down, but the amplitude is very small, and there is no inconvenience to travel. There are birds chirping in the pine forest, and the bitter pine fragrance comes from time to time, which is very quiet.

It's just that Qin Su's mood at the moment is depressed, and he also has some doubts.

Li Shuyi sneaked out of the palace on the night of the Dragon Boat Banquet, but turned back halfway, and it is said that she met a man.

Who the hell is that man?

Could it be Xue Yunyan?

If it was Xue Yunyan, then Li Shuyi really had to hide.

Thinking of this, Qin Su's gaze was still fixed on the pine forest, and he asked lightly: "You didn't see the man's appearance clearly, didn't you see it at all, didn't you see the crown of your clothes?" After that, she smiled again and said softly: "If you can't think of it for a while, this palace is not in a hurry, and when you go back, you will have that hammer to remind you of it." ”

"I really didn't see it. Yue Xiuju said with a crying voice, her teeth rattled, obviously remembering all kinds of terrible legends of the Torture Division, and she was terrified to the extreme: "Your Highness...... Your Highness must believe me, it was too far away that night, and I really didn't see it...... Your Highness forgives ...... sins"

"Shut up!" Qin Su shouted.

Yue Xiuju trembled with fright, she didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore, and wiped her hand on her face indiscriminately, wiping away the tears on her face.

Qin Su lowered his eyes and looked at her, and suddenly he wanted to kill someone to relieve his depression.

It's been a long time since she's been so violent.

Closing her eyes slightly, she took a deep breath.

The fragrance of pine needles came to her nose, which instantly reminded her of Li Xuandu's embrace.

At this moment, the taste of this memory inexplicably soothed her outburst of emotions.

After a few breaths, the murderous anger finally dissipated from her body.

"That's it. Qin Su opened his eyes and said, only cold in his voice, and there was no more terrifying aura in Fang Cai: "If you think about it again, you really haven't seen that man's appearance at all?"

Yue Xiuju's lowered face was no longer colorless.

Just now, she felt an obvious killing intent, and her neck was cold, like a knife on her head.

For the first time, she realized that if Her Royal Highness the princess in front of her really wanted to kill a palace man, it would be an easy task.

The thought made her go limp, and if she hadn't been able to hold on with a breath, she would have almost fallen to the ground. Hearing Qin Su's question at this time, she was scared and tried her best to redeem it, and she really twisted her eyebrows and desperately recalled it.

Qin Su didn't speak, still walking forward slowly.

After a long while, Yue Xiuju opened her mouth tremblingly and said, "Your Highness, I'm ...... One thing that comes to mind, that ...... The man ......" She swallowed hard, her voice trembling more and more: "The man seems to be wearing a ...... A high crown, and that crown is like a golden ...... Made of gold. ”

Qin Su's heart was slightly cold.

Crown?

The crown of the princes and the crown princes is golden!

Could it be that the person Li Shuyi is trying to avoid is actually a certain prince, or even His Royal Highness the Prince?!
