- The congestion in Nanzhao Kyoto is probably a kind of bustling in the middle of a bustle.

However, at this time, in the Qingchuan royal capital, which is thousands of miles away, it is a different scene.

The fireworks soared into the sky, mixed with the sound of swords and soldiers cutting and shouting, and the bloody smell was dyed with a dazzling red, smeared on the ground, on the ruins, and on the sacks...... In the air.

Mo Ye didn't know if the guy who ate mad dog meat by mistake and contracted some plague, so he actually set the time to rob the Qingchuan King Capital Dongda Cang after lunch! Something like this, although it is not a pure righteous act, but it is obvious that there are fewer enemies, and Mo Ye does not believe that with the mind of the night ink, he will not be able to figure out the pros and cons of this matter.

What's the matter, it's safer to act in the dark moon and wind at night than in the bright daylight tomorrow, right?!

Mo Ye didn't believe that this second-in-command of the cottage had the courage of such a stupid person because of the success of several successes before this.

It's just that the end of the night didn't leave Mo Ye much time to think. When she took a lunch break for half an hour, there was still a little sleepiness in her mind, and when she just woke up, half of the bandits in the cottage had already been sent out. The second master, who has always regarded himself as calm and wise, has taken the lead in running to the forefront.

The cottage boss was also a little anxious, although Mo Ye felt strange, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly packed up and followed.

And when Mo Ye followed the team of Xiang Dongliu, the big boss of the cottage, to the vicinity of Dongcang, the royal capital of Qingchuan, according to the route agreed a few days ago, what he saw was the dripping scene in front of him.

"!" didn't see the figure of the night ink, but only saw a piece of blood smeared all over the ground, Xiang Dongliu suddenly turned red, scolded, and rushed into the fireworks regardless of it.

Mo Ye was beside him, and without thinking, he struggled to hold him. Under the strong pull, the five fingers directly cut out a few holes in the linen fabric.

"The courage of the horseman!" Mo Ye didn't care about the environment around him now, and in front of all the bandits, he first shouted at their boss, and his voice was shocking.

If the cottage boss rushes out, the first dozen followers will be completely out of control! Sometimes the subordinates rely too much on the leader. It doesn't seem to be entirely a good thing, either.

Seeing that Xiang Dongliu finally stopped his footing. Mo Ye then lowered his voice again, and said at a very fast pace: "There are at least three thousand defenders in Dongdacang. And if the night master has already startled the snake and fallen into an ambush. The entire East Okura can gather 5,000 garrisons. These are all the results of our repeated investigations in the past few days, and you are also making mistakes? ”

As soon as Mo Ye's words came out, Xiang Dongliu did not make any more moves to conflict with Okura's side. But he frowned slightly and was silent.

And in the first dozen or so bandits. Three or five people couldn't help but gasp: "Fuck, what kind of fame!" That's not what the boss said last night? ”

Not to mention 3,000 people, it is 300 Dongokura guards who are full of arrows and swords, and they meet more than a dozen bandits whose martial arts are all self-taught. It's easy to cook!

Isn't this here to send you to death?

If you take out a bandit in the cottage, you can figure out this account, why the second-in-command of the cottage and the wise man who has always served as the commander of the village's actions is all over the night. Why was it negligent?

This suicidal behavior ......

Although the cottage boss has a slightly impatient personality, he is actually not a strong and brainless person. Otherwise, it is impossible to manage the dozens of people in the stockade who are mixed with dragons and snakes. Mo Ye only stayed in the cottage for a few months, although this little time was not enough to cultivate everyone to be completely convinced of her, but her experience was enough to see how strong the unity of the people's hearts within this only remaining bandit seedling in the Qingchuan region was.

This is not a spirit of community that can be cultivated by force alone.

Therefore, assuming that Ye Dumo is a traitor who has been lurking for many years, and the purpose is to bring all the bandits to Huangquan here and now, this conjecture is unreasonable.

But...... If it weren't for the group suicide, how could Ye Dumo have such a crazy act today?

Could it be that he himself is impatient and runs here to find death? What about motivation?

He took the dozen or so people who went first, didn't he have the slightest doubt to follow him to the funeral?

Thoughts flashed through Mo Ye's mind in an instant, and in the end, she only took one of them, raised her eyebrows and stared at Xiang Dongliu, and asked in a suppressed voice: "Before this operation, did Ye Dumo ask you for something alone?" ”

The situation was urgent, and Mo Ye didn't care about any decency when he spoke, and called him by his name.

However, her sudden questioning was quite abrupt in the scene environment, and it was easy to misunderstand her intentions.

Xiang Dongliu was stunned: "...... Say what? ”

"Didn't I say goodbye to you?" Mo Ye muttered, then bit her lip and was silent for a moment, and finally said her conjecture bluntly: "He...... He's here to die! ”

"Huh?"

"Ahh

As soon as Mo Ye's words fell, several bandits who were closer to the front and back were surprised. Mo Ye is a newcomer to the cottage, and even she doesn't believe that Ye Dumo, who has always acted calmly and well, would do such an extreme thing, not to mention the brothers in the cottage who have been with him for a few years, it is even more unbelievable.

Moreover, if Ye Duan Mo really died in this battle, it would also be a heavy loss for the cottage. At this time, the big guy was looking for him to no avail, and it was at this time that when he learned of Mo Ye's inference, everyone couldn't help but panic.

And Xiang Dongliu is obviously the most anxious person. At the end of the night, the ink is his hair, and they know each other well, and they have nothing to talk about. After leaving their hometown to build a cottage, the two don't know how many times they have cooperated, and their brotherly feelings and tacit understanding between each other have long been harmonious and better than siblings.

If something really happened to the night ink, it would be like cutting off Xiang Dongliu's arm, and he would be heartbroken.

Xiang Dongliu's hand holding the handle of the knife was already too strong, and there was a slight "creaking" sound between the knuckles. However, Mo Ye's inference was too bizarre, and under the strong contrast, Xiang Dongliu calmed down a little and didn't want to rush out again. However, the expression on his face at this time was not much better, he wrinkled his eyebrows and opened his eyes, slightly hideous, gritted his teeth and said, "Why? Why do you think he did that? ”

"If I knew why, how could I have asked you the other way around?" Mo Ye was afraid that he would be impulsive again, although he saw him squatting in place and did not move, he still reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

She didn't want to be so tugged at with a man she didn't know very well. It's just that if Xiang Dongliu runs out at this time, her whereabouts on her side will not be guaranteed.

At this time, the life and death of Ye Dumo weighed in her heart, and it was still secondary.

Mo Ye fled all the way west from Kyoto, although he encountered the cottage built by Xiang and Ye, and was able to rest for a few months, temporarily escaping from the vicious pursuit of the group of killers. The people in this village are to her. is half a benefactor, but this kindness has not moved her to gamble her life to repay it.

She had more important things on her mind. And more than one. Every night before closing her eyes and the moment she opened her eyes in the morning, she never missed a single warning to herself that there was more important things!

"There must be a reason...... Mo Ye stared at Xiang Dongliu and asked again: "You are the person he trusts the most, he really didn't tell you?" ”

If the night is over, I want to use the matter of the east of Okura to cut myself off here. Once this matter was finalized, Mo Ye did not plan to delay the time here. She would not hesitate to choose to leave immediately.

……

"There's a labor doctor." Wang Hong raised his sleeves from afar, "Send the medical officer." ”

The two palace maids answered, carrying lanterns to lead the imperial doctor out.

Concubine De walked to the couch again and sat down on the brim. She would have had something to say. She hadn't had time to ask about who the owner of that Fang Supa was, but she saw that the second prince Wang Hong looked very tired at this time. He put these words in his heart for the time being, but reached out and probed his forehead and arm again.

I don't know if the imperial doctor has come. caused some psychological hints, she felt that the prince's body temperature seemed to be calmer at this time, she was slightly relieved, and said slowly: "The concubine originally only planned to come over to see you and leave soon, but she didn't expect to be delayed for so long. You must be very tired now, and you are only holding up your spirits to accompany your mother. Okay, the mother is really going back now, you can lie down and rest. ”

Wang Hong nodded, he really didn't have the energy to talk more, so he prepared to slide into the quilt.

But Concubine De suddenly remembered the advice of the imperial doctor just now, and hurriedly said: "I almost forgot, your underwear has been soaked with sweat, and you have to change it, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well at night." ”

Wang Hong had to sit up again, sighed and said, "Mother, you also said that these things can be handed over to the palace maids to do, and rest assured that they will serve, you can go back and rest early." ”

Concubine De thought about it when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, you have also grown into a man, and some things must be left to you to do by yourself." ”

Concubine De is finally gone.

The palace maids who were accompanied by Concubine De all withdrew from Huayang Palace, and the footsteps became farther away, and the second prince Wang Hong, who was sitting on the couch, had lost the strength to lean on the pillow behind him, his shoulders were tilted, and he lay on the soft and silky brocade quilt, and immediately fell asleep.

After a long time, his shoulders suddenly trembled, and the man immediately came to his senses and sat up from the quilt suddenly.

There was a fog in front of him, and then he saw the face of the eunuch Aja.

Aja kept standing on the edge of the collapse and looked at Wang Hong, trying to wake him up, but he couldn't bear to disturb his sleep. Seeing him wake up suddenly, as if he had just been frightened, Aja's face showed worry, and he asked softly: "Your Highness, are you going to change your sweaty clothes?" ”

Wang Hong's gaze paused on the plain shirt held in Ajia's hand, and he did not give instructions, but asked, "How long did Bengong sleep just now?" ”

"It's not enough time for tea." Aja replied verbally, but in his heart he couldn't help but want to say: This is not sleeping, it is more like fainting for a while.

"It's okay......" Wang Hong seemed to be muttering to himself first, and then said to the eunuch Ajia: "You go out first, and you can only come in when the palace calls you to come in and serve." ”

Aja took the order, left a lamp, and retreated.

When he was about to go out, he heard the prince on the couch call him again, and when he turned around, he saw that although the prince sitting on the couch was still full of tiredness, his eyes were condensed, and he said word by word: "Ajia, thank you for what happened just now." I'll figure out what to do next, or I'll leave it to you, right? ”

Aja had long understood.

Just now, when he heard the prince's order to "take ten steps back" from the inner room of the dormitory, he probably knew that there was one more person in the inner room of the dormitory.

In the face of the prince's re-admonition, Aja's eyes also became solemn, he bowed, and went out without saying anything.

Silence is a promise at this point.

When Aja went out, he closed the door. The second prince, Wang Hong, jumped off the couch and ran towards the back of the long screen with his shoes pulled.

couldn't wait to open the wooden door of the one-person-high standing wardrobe, Wang Hong saw that the wardrobe that had moved away from several stacks of quilts was a little empty, this kind of emptiness was difficult to hide, but the palace maid with Concubine De went to the wardrobe three times in a row, and did not find the two people he hid inside......

That's because, there's no one in the closet at all!

So where did the people he hid in before go?

Wang Hong was only slightly confused about this matter just now. At this time, I saw such a strange thing happening in the closet. The doubts in his heart suddenly swelled sharply. He first reached out and waved it in the closet space, making sure that he was not delusional, and he felt a trace of fear grow in his heart.

"Little Star?"

"Aunt Li?"

Wang Hong called softly twice. Subconsciously reached out and knocked on the three side panels of the wardrobe.

As he reached out and knocked on the left side of the wardrobe, he suddenly heard a sound similar to the bounce of an iron piece, and then he felt a flower in front of him, as if something had popped out of the closet. dragged a few robes and clothes in the wardrobe out of the way.

The "thing" jumped out extremely fast, and Wang Hong closed his eyelids hard. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the "thing" was two people.

It was the two people I had just called.

Although Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt, suffered for three years because she went to the Northland, her body was very thin, but her martial arts are still there. With just one move, he restrained the woman who was hiding in the closet first. By this time she had come out of the closet, one of her right hands still claw-like, and she had twisted the woman's arms around her back. so that it is light and unable to move.

His arms were too twisted for a long time, and his qi and blood were blocked. The woman's face had turned pale, and she had a mass of cloth in her mouth, so that she could not breathe easily, and her forehead began to sweat like rain from such a toss.

"What are you doing here? Loosen up! Although Wang Hong had expected this scene, there was still a difference between what he saw with his own eyes and what he imagined in his mind, and at this time his face had changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to dismantle the cloth stuffed with the woman's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt, also realized that she seemed to have done something wrong, and hurriedly let go of the hand that clasped the woman's arms.

As soon as the clasp on her back was loosened, the woman, who was already having some gold stars in her eyes, weakened her legs and fell to the ground.

Wang Hong, the second prince, who was helping her unravel the cloth ball, also squatted down and pulled out the cloth, but saw that it was a cotton sock. Wang Hong raised his hand and threw the socks that were still hanging with the woman's saliva out of the distance, and then stared sideways at the woman in the cloth skirt Xiaoxing, and said with some annoyance: "How can you do this to her?" ”

Xiaoxing was slightly stunned, and immediately knelt down, pleading guilty: "The maid only thinks she is...... She's a villain...... And they took her. Is it a mistake? But why would this person hide in the closet beforehand? Isn't it a spy who intends to spy on His Highness? ”

"Have you ever seen a spy who doesn't know how to do martial arts?" Wang Hong sighed, not wanting to explain too much about this detail. After he looked at the woman carefully and made sure that Xiaoxing did not cause her much damage, his gaze finally stopped on her arm that was still turning back, and immediately ordered: "Quick, massage her arm, don't leave a disability." ”

Roughly determining whether this woman was a friend or foe, Xiao Xing hurriedly began to push and rub her sprained arm for her, and at the same time asked Wang Hong: "Your Highness, who is this person?" Why would you hide her in the closet? ”

"You can't explain this matter in a single sentence, you just need to see her clearly and remember not to embarrass her in the future." After saying this, Wang Hong rubbed the corners of his forehead, remembered what he saw in the closet just now, and immediately asked, "What happened to you in the closet just now?" Those palace maids didn't find you when they went to get the quilt, I came to check, and I only saw the empty wardrobe, where did you hide just now? How did you suddenly jump out later? ”

"Doesn't Your Highness know?" Listening to Wang Hong's question, Xiao Xing's face also showed doubts, "The back of this cabinet is empty, and there is a secret passage. ”

"Secret ......" Wang Hong was surprised.

He had lived in this dormitory for more than ten years, and the row of wardrobes had been placed in front of the solid wall behind the screen for seven or eight years, but he had never noticed that the inside of this wall was hollow. Moreover, this row of wardrobes was still a few years ago, and Concubine De saw that he had grown from a child to a teenager, and the size of his clothes had not changed so frequently, so she ordered someone to build a large wardrobe and put it over. It seems that Concubine De didn't see the mystery behind this wall.

For this, Xiaoxing, who had served Wang Hong for several years, certainly knew it. Seeing the thoughtful look on his face, she also thought about it, obviously she was more suspicious of Concubine De's unkindness than others, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Could it be that Concubine De secretly sent someone to chisel?" She has so many masters under her hands, it is not difficult to do this. ”

"No, it's unlikely to be her." Wang Hong shook his head. Said slowly: "This row of wardrobes was given to me by her eight years ago. I was only about ten years old at the time, and she didn't need to bother to spy on a ten-year-old child. Not to mention what I could have done at that time. It's not as good as a ten-year-old. ”

Xiao Xing pondered and said: "She also knows that as Her Highness grows up, it will become more and more difficult to control zhì, so she will first chisel the secret passage in the dormitory at the age when Her Highness can still control zhì." Wait until you need to use it. ”

Facing Xiaoxing's second speculation. Wang Hong was obviously silent for a long time, and then he shook his head again and said slowly: "Compared to the method of directly sending people to monitor me, I chiseled through the walls of Huayang Palace a few years ago. It's too risky, and it's too obvious. If the maidservants of my palace discover this secret passage, she will not escape the investigation. Because this row of wardrobes was given by her, why did she set herself on fire? ”

This time it was Xiaoxing's turn to be silent.

After a moment of silence. Xiao Xing spoke again, and the object of questioning was still Concubine De: "She can also send someone to take care of this row of wardrobes, so that it will be difficult for anyone to discover the secrets in the cabinet." ”

"This one is even more difficult to do, Xiaoxing, don't you know, the maids in Huayang Palace are the most lax in their rules, and the maids who clean and tidy up this row of wardrobes every day have never fixed the list." Speaking of this, Wang Hong sighed, and said in a slightly changed tone: "Xiaoxing, when you think about it, every sentence is directly aimed at Concubine De, and there is obviously a hatred for her in your words. What's wrong with you? After all, she is the mother who has taken care of me from childhood to adulthood, and even if she has done something wrong, she must have no ill will towards me. ”

Listening to Wang Hong's words, Xiao Xing suddenly realized that no matter what kind of bad image Concubine De has become in her mind now, after all, Concubine De has taken care of him for more than ten years, and she is the most difficult benefactor for him to question and blame.

This kind of kindness, cultivated from childhood to adulthood, is the most deep-rooted, and can most influence the recipient's judgment of certain aspects of the benefactor.

At this moment, Xiao Xing suddenly had a trance in his heart, feeling that he had complied with the prince's instructions to investigate Concubine De, which seemed to be a mistake from the beginning.

Because no matter what the results of her investigation are, the prince, who was taken care of and cared for by Concubine De, will only choose her good aspects in the end, and subconsciously correct the things she did wrong.

If you are very grateful to someone and love someone from the bottom of your heart, there is something wrong with that person, as if there is a right reason for it.

For a moment, Xiao Xing didn't know what angle to think about to continue to discuss the secret passage behind the closet with the prince, so she had to be silent.

The second prince, Wang Hong, was also silent, his eyes fell to the ground, and he didn't know if he was beginning to question whether the secret passage was related to Concubine De, who took care of him when he grew up, or if he was thinking about something else.

When she let go of the woman who had been pulled out of the closet, Xiao Xing had already realized that the woman who had fainted because she had been detained by force for too long was about an extremely important person to the prince, so she deliberately urged some strength from her palm when she pushed her arms that were stagnant with blood and qi.

The woman's qi and blood were quickly excited, her pale face gradually returned to normal, and she quickly woke up, unconsciously breathing a long sigh of relief.

If Lin Shan was present at this time, he would be surprised and at the same time, he would definitely blame this woman a lot. And if Mo Ye is here, it will definitely be surprise and sadness overlapping repeatedly, and excitement and gaffes will be repeated.

But the two men whom the woman knew best were out of sight. Although the same man and a woman were squatting in front of her, the woman was not as well-behaved and quiet as Mo Ye, and she almost broke her arm when she saw her; Although the young man was gentle and kind, with his true identity, she could hardly compare him to Lin Shan.

At the moment when he opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, before Li Shi could stand up, he directly changed his sitting posture to a kneeling position, and kowtowed: "The poor woman knocks on His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

"In the secret, there is no need to be polite." Wang Hong saw that Li Shi was sober. With a smile on his face, his eyes pointed at Xiaoxing, and said, "Xiaoxing, Aunt Fu Li gets up." ”

After saying this, Wang Hong, who was squatting on the ground, also stood up by himself. But at this moment, he only felt that the sky was spinning, and the soles of his feet were floating. The figure flickered. I almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Xing immediately let go of the Li Shi who was holding him, took a step forward, and put his cross arm on the prince's skinny shoulder.

"Your Highness. What's wrong with you? Xiaoxing asked anxiously.

Wang Hong stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, patted his mind that was about to become a mess, and said with a little hurry: "I'm a little dizzy, it's okay." ”

Li Shi, who stood up slowly, looked at the prince's hand wrapped in a cloth belt. She has lived half her life and served several masters. It soon became clear the approximate cause of the prince's dizziness. Approaching and holding the other shoulder of the prince, Li Shi said softly: "Sit down quickly, slow down." ”

Wang Hong sat on the chair that Concubine De had just sat on, while Li Shi was holding his arm. She only felt that although this young man was at the most robust age of a person's growth, in fact, his physique was too thin, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

This is the half-brother of Mo Ye's child. Although he grew up in the palace, he enjoyed all the glory of brocade clothes and food. But it is not as strong as Mo Ye, who she takes care of alone.

After helping Wang Hong sit down, Li Shi looked around the room, went to get the silk blanket on the couch, came back and gently put it on the young man's thin shoulder.

Taking this opportunity, the Li family was able to carefully examine the noble prince.

The facial features of a person will change somewhat as they become adults, but when they are young, most of their facial features are still inherited from their parents. Looking at Wang Hong's side face, the natural curvature of the corners of his mouth and eyes, as well as the height of the bridge of his nose, are slightly similar to Mo Ye, which is probably the same as inheriting his father Wang Chi.

Seeing this similarity, Li Shi couldn't help but think of Mo Ye, and then thought of Lin Shan. She suddenly felt that thirteen years ago, Lin Shan left Kyoto with Mo Ye, who was still in infancy, and this practice was not inappropriate for Mo Ye, and even the correctness of this practice could make Mo Ye useful for the rest of his life.

If Mo Ye had continued to stay in the palace at that time, what would have been the result now? Li didn't dare to think deeply.

Sometimes simply living can lead to more happiness. If you have to torture yourself physically and mentally for the title of prince or princess, is it worth it or not?

Maybe this royal identity was originally something that Mo Ye deserved, but if she didn't fight for it, she must be cowardly?

Li Shi thought back to Mo Ye's mother, the young lady of the Ye family who had served for several years. Ye Ziqing seems to have a great passion and patience for the ledger that records the money in addition to her love for cooking all kinds of strange meals, but she is actually a lazy person to think.

In addition to tasting all kinds of food and counting silver, Ye Ziqing also likes to wander around, when the Ye family's ancestral house was so spacious, she couldn't stop her steps. At that time, the world outside was so chaotic, and she still liked to run around, which frightened the servants around her.

However, the longer he left his own young lady, the more Li Shi felt that although the days of traveling around the world with his young lady were full of thrills, if a person had that experience, it would not be in vain to live this life.

If Ye Ziqing can live until now, she will definitely continue her preferences to this day. And the companions she chooses to take with her to travel the world today may no longer be some elderly servants, but her grown daughter.

If things really turn out like this, then the status of the princess will undoubtedly become a great obstacle to free walking. And Ye Ziqing's traces of resisting this obstacle seem to have been revealed as early as thirteen years ago - she has a big belly, but she still prefers to live in a simple palace with maids and maids, avoiding the palace.

After sitting for a while, Wang Hong gradually regained some of her spirits, and when she looked to the side, he saw Li's gaze fall on his shoulder, but the look in her pupils floated a little, as if she was wandering somewhere else.

After a little hesitation, Wang Hong prompted: "Aunt Li? ”

The title of Li Shi was called by Wang Hong and Mo Ye.

Since three years ago, Wang Hong has officially started to investigate the cause of the death of Concubine Ye, Wang Hong has found out the village where Concubine Xian's daughter, that is, his half-sister Mo Ye, lived.

Mo Ye kept calling Li "aunt" when he was a child, in fact, Li took care of Mo Yedi meticulously. Infant Moye. How many nights have I slept to the lullabies sung by Lai. In a sense, Li's existence makes up for some of Mo Ye's lack of maternal love.

Thinking of this, Wang Hong held the same courtesy, and also called her "aunt" when he saw her secretly, but he held a bit of sincerity.

Hearing the call, Li Shi came back to his senses. Because my mind was just now deeply trapped in distant memories. Feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, she smiled a little reluctantly, and suddenly sighed again. Said slowly: "The poor woman touched His Royal Highness's noble body, so thin, the poor woman couldn't help but be a little ......"

Regarding his own inadequacy, Wang Hong didn't want to mention more. A faint smile skimmed. He chose an insignificant remark at random, and nodded at the woman in the cloth skirt standing beside him with his gaze. Then he asked: "This is my maidservant, she doesn't know your identity, that's why she will attack you, she didn't hurt you just now, right?" ”

"Handmaid starlet. Fang is reckless and offensive, and I ask Senior Li for forgiveness. Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt, hurriedly bowed down to Li.

Li Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, there is a girl like you who is agile to stay by His Royal Highness's side." Saying anything is more than too little. ”

Hearing the woman's words, a trace of sorrow appeared on Xiaoxing's face. She was in the secret passage just now. Only separated by a thin wall of wooden planks, the conversation between Concubine De and the prince in the inner room of the dormitory could be heard clearly. She faintly realized that she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to come back, even if the prince promised to find a way to take her back just now.

Sure enough, before Li's words fell, she saw the prince shaking his head slightly, and said softly: "Xiaoxing is no longer my maid. ”

Li's expression was sluggish, but she soon found that as the prince's maidservant, she should at least be dressed in finely woven ribbons, but the little star girl was dressed in coarse cloth clothes of a folk girl.

In addition, there was a dark red mark on the corner of the girl's forehead. Under the not-so-bright light, Li Shi, who had just woken up from a fainting, thought it was a kind of palace costume at first glance, and the red was painted on his cheeks. But if you look closely, it's not hard to see that it's actually a broken scar.

Although the candidates for the palace maids are not required to be as beautiful as flowers, their faces must be born upright, and their bodies must not have zài defects, which is the basic criterion for selection.

In the secret passage of the wardrobe just now, Li's hands were reversed and clamped, which made her qi and blood obstructed and dizzy, but she could still hear and remember some of the conversation between Concubine De and the prince. Li Shi didn't remember any sentences about Xiaoxing in those conversations, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this?" Did Little Star Girl do something wrong? ”

"If she did something wrong, it was probably me." Wang Hong glanced at Xiao Xing deeply, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "You should have heard it just now, your handkerchief was taken by Concubine De, if she wants to check, you will not be able to avoid it." If she were to check on someone, even if she just picked up a comb that person had used, she could sniff out the traces of the hair oil on the comb. ”

"Xiaoxing knows that in the future, Xiaoxing will find a secret place and live quietly." Xiaoxing hung his head. Although she had already prepared in her heart, this time she secretly entered the palace and told the prince that she had searched for information in the north for three years, and would never come back after that, but when this matter was announced by the prince who she had served for several years, she still couldn't suppress a sadness in her heart.

When he saw his personal maid Xiaoxing return three years after leaving the palace, Wang Hong's original intention was to wash away the sins he deliberately inflicted on her three years ago, and then take her back to him. Unexpectedly, because of Concubine De's surprise visit, he was forced to abandon this plan. If he wanted him to say these words to Xiaoxing in person, he wouldn't feel sad in his heart.

The two of them said it to this point, and Li Shi on the side could probably understand it, and at the same time, she could also hear that there was a hint of reluctance between the words of the two people.

Once, Li Shi also had a lot of reluctance to the death of his young lady, which was goodbye. And life and death are often inextricably linked, so these two words are often put together, although some people are alive, after parting ways and going retrograde, they are gradually drifting away, and it is difficult to see each other again in life.

After a little deliberation, Li Shi said: "Your Highness, in fact, the poor woman has been thinking about it for the past few days, if she stays in His Highness's palace like this again, I am afraid that it will inevitably bring trouble to His Highness." You might as well go out of the palace with the little star girl and stay in a secluded place for a while, if Your Highness has a call, of course, the poor woman can also answer the call at any time, which is also a safe plan for each other. ”

"This idea of yours is good, but ...... Perhaps there is a better way out of this matter. Wang Hong hesitated, and suddenly changed direction, "Do you know where that secret passage comes from?" ”――

(To be continued)
