On the carriage far away, the little maid with her hair combed and her bun asked Zitong: "Miss, why did you stare at the young man standing at the door of the jewelry store just now?" Do you know him? ”

Zitong shook his head, blinked his eyes and said, "I don't know, but I always feel like I've seen it somewhere." Wan'er, what's the name of that jewelry store just now? ”

"It seems to be a Forgetful Pavilion!" Wan'er thought for a moment and said.

"Forgetfulness? How did you come up with such a name? Forget ......" Zitong was puzzled.

"Miss, do you still have the name of someone's store in mind? Why don't you hurry up and think about how to explain to the master later? You escaped from the Six Princes' Mansion privately, what can I do? Wan'er said anxiously.

"Afraid of what? How can I stay in that ghost king's mansion! Oh, my God! What a dead man I met! Zitong shuddered when she remembered what happened last night!

As the two were talking, the carriage jolted lightly and galloped into the City Lord's Mansion.

Zitong stood there cautiously, her hands still trembling even though she told herself a thousand times in her heart to be calm.

She wanted to forget the scene last night, but she couldn't. The flickering candlelight made her even more uneasy.

In the study, two men sat in front of her, one was her city lord's father, Ziyang; One is her fiancé, the sixth prince, Haotian. It was the last thing she wanted to face.

"Wicked obstacles, kneel down for me!" Ziyang said angrily.

Zitong bowed her head and knelt down as she said.

The sixth prince Haotian said coldly: "Raise your head and reply." ”

Zitong sighed and raised her head helplessly.

Haotian is the son of the emperor today, the sixth in line, the most popular with the emperor, and it is rumored that he is the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince, worthy of the name of one person above tens of thousands of people. At this time, his sharp eyes were looking directly at her, "Last night, you were the first to find Concubine Shu's body?" ”

Zitong replied in a steady voice as much as possible: "Yes." ”

Haotian asked word by word, "Why did you appear in Concubine Shu's bedroom last night?" This king needs to know every detail. ”

Zi Tong looked at those cold eyes, and for some reason forgot the fear and uneasiness just now in his heart.

Zitong sighed again and replied cautiously: "The little girl heard that Concubine Shu's beauty was captivating, and she was very curious and wanted to see her face. Therefore, last night, the little girl came to visit Concubine Shu's room after finishing up. After calling the door, no one answered, I thought maybe the slave in the room didn't hear, I saw the door open, I pushed the door in, but I didn't expect that the concubine was still in the bathtub, I thought the concubine was still bathing, so I didn't pay attention, but then I waited for a long time but didn't see the movement of the concubine, so I stepped forward to ask, only to find that the water in the bathtub was bloody, and the concubine's neck was injured by a sharp blade, and it seemed that she had been dead for a long time, and the concubine's eyes became a pair of blood holes. ”

After Zi Tong finished speaking in one breath, his whole body became cold from head to toe.

Haotian had no expression on his face, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Then why didn't you tell this king at that time?" Instead, he ran away without permission? ”

Zi Tong was surprised in her heart, and said helplessly: "This ......"

Haotian frowned impatiently: "Do you want this king to teach you how to reply?" ”

"Tong'er, quickly answer the prince's question!" Ziyang also said anxiously.

Zitong felt a little annoyed in her heart. From last night to now, she was even frightened, and she didn't have peace all night, but this arrogant sixth prince asked such a strange question again. I have long heard that this sixth prince has a strange and moody temperament, so Zitong doesn't want to enter the palace to be a princess at all. However, my father's fate was unbearable, so I had no choice but to agree. I didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing!

Zitong raised his head and said loudly: "Sixth prince, the little woman has just arrived in the palace, and she is not familiar with the place, how do you know where to find you!" Besides, in the middle of the night, the little woman was frightened and frightened, and she had to escape from the palace quickly, could I think of any other way? ”

Haotian didn't expect her to reply like this, he was slightly stunned, his face immediately sank, and then he sneered, "What a bold woman!" ”

Zitong was not frightened by his words at all, and still stared straight at Haotian!

Ziyang on the side was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Bold and evil, you dare to talk to the Sixth Prince!" Don't you want to live? ”

Zi Tong immediately realized what kind of mistake she had made, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The little girl should die, please forgive the prince." ”

Haotian stood up, slowly paced in front of her, and gently picked her chin with his hand, "I know now that I'm afraid, don't you think it's too late?" ”

Zi Tong was forced to look at him, and seeing that his deep eyes contained anger, he quietly dodged his fingers: "The little woman is a commoner and has never entered the palace, so the little woman really doesn't know." ”

Ziyang on the side hurriedly interjected: "Sixth Prince, the little girl is indeed ignorant, don't be angry with her." ”

Haotian's eyes flickered, and he sneered, "This king won't be as familiar as you little woman!" But, tell this king, in addition to hearing that Concubine Shu is beautiful, have you heard any rumors about her? ”

Zi Tong secretly complained, and after a while, he said, "Isn't the prince embarrassed the little girl?" ”

When Haotian heard this, he didn't get angry but laughed, "This king is just embarrassing you, how about it?" Sit back in your chair and enjoy a leisurely cup of tea.

"Tong'er, hurry up and tell the prince what you heard!" Ziyang was afraid of offending the sixth prince, so he hurriedly urged.

Zi Tong glanced up secretly, where does Haotian look like a person who has just lost his beloved concubine, and what kind of expression is this, it seems that the concubine who died tragically has nothing to do with him, this person is really ruthless! I escaped at a loss! Didn't marry this ruthless and unrighteous person!

Zi Tong thought that she couldn't kneel here like this, and she slowly whispered tentatively: "The little woman heard that Concubine Shu is a rare beauty embryo, and she is a very, very beautiful person. After that, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Haotian's expression.

Haotian snorted and scolded: "Nonsense! It's up to you to talk about it! ”

Zitong's fingers trembled slightly, and the annoyance in his heart became more and more intense, and finally he couldn't restrain himself, gritted his teeth, and his heart was horizontal, and he told what he had heard about the concubines in the Six Princes' Mansion: "The prince has four concubines, each of whom is as beautiful as a flower. Among the many beautiful wives and concubines, in the eyes of outsiders, the prince's favorite is the concubine. However, although the concubine is beautiful, she is not very kind-hearted, and she treats her subordinates with snarky and mean, so she is unpopular, but in this palace, the prince is high, as long as you get the love of the prince, you can regard others as ants calling the wind and rain, this is the so-called pampering and arrogance! ”

Haotian's face sank like water, and Sen Sen smiled: "What a treacherous girl, just now this king asked, you pushed three obstacles and asked three questions, but now you say this, it seems that you put a lot of effort into entering the palace!" ”

Zitong's stomach twitched, and she had to be cautious and patiently replied: "The little woman just said what the prince wanted to hear, and asked the prince to forgive her sins." ”

Haotian stared at her coldly: "So, you seem to understand the thoughts of this king." ”

Ziyang on the side couldn't help but say, "Sixth Prince, you see that the little girl has already told you everything she knows." This girl has been frightened and scared for a whole night, and she is about to faint, see if you can let her go! ”

Haotian looked over lightly, saw Zitong's pale face, his lips were bloody, and he looked pitiful, paused for a while, and said slowly: "That's it for today, but, this king will summon you at any time!" You go down first! ”

Zitong's eyes lowered, "Sixth Prince Xie, the little woman is retiring." ”
