Chapter 16 Knowingly Asking

When the woman saw me stupidly calling her a fairy sister, she thought I was deliberately molesting her.

I felt a little flustered in my heart for a moment, and I didn't know what to do for a while, so I quickly pulled my arm back and lowered my head a little shyly.

She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and was later selected to become a maid in the palace of the three princes, serving the princes and nobles who have always had a face and a face, where have I ever met a shameless person like me?

At this time, she had already decided in her heart that I was the lustful demon who wanted to do it, and under the rapid turn of her mind, she actually imagined more than a dozen Meng Lang behaviors that I might do next.

"Ahh

Thinking about it, she screamed to herself, her arms folded around her chest, and she took a few steps back with a wary expression.

This voice finally pulled me back to reality, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that my words were a little abrupt.

Seeing her frightened look like this, I just wanted to explain a few words, but the words had already reached my lips but I couldn't say anything anyway.

So we got into a stalemate with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

In fact, she did misunderstand me, you must know that I have studied for a few years, in other words, I usually don't say how gentle and elegant, but the basic etiquette when facing a woman is still there, but the lethargy of the past few days has made me a little confused, and I suddenly met such a beautiful woman when I was stunned, and I didn't react for a while, and I mistook her for a fairy who came down to save me......

To alleviate the current awkwardness, I gave her a friendly smile as much as I could, and then made a gesture with my hand to raise a glass of water.

I would like to ask her for a cup of tea to moisten my throat, so that I can explain a thing or two to her as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, instead of succeeding in making her let her guard down, this action had an unexpected counterproductive effect.

It's the same as when I mistook the three princes for water ghosts by the river.

Once a person has decided on something, it is difficult to overturn his previous thoughts if it is not conclusive evidence.

Therefore, the smile that I thought was gentle in the spring breeze turned into a lewd smile in the eyes of the woman.

And my gesture of raising a glass and drinking water was naturally mistaken by her for wanting to ask her to drink with me.

Therefore, in her heart, the meaning of my whole set of behaviors can only be explained by a classic line that has been circulated in Fireworks Willow Lane for thousands of years.

That's it:

"Chick, come and drink with your grandfather~~~~"

This time, even if the woman really has the good temper of the heavenly immortals, she won't do it.

At this time, the look of shame on her face had quietly turned into resentment, and I saw her eyebrows upside down, walk two steps quickly to my side, grab the pillow on the bed and throw it at me.

I watched the pillow draw a graceful arc in the air, swirling towards my already dizzy head, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to block it, but I don't know how long I had been sleeping, my limbs were obviously numb, and before my hand was halfway raised, the pillow had already reached the front door.

The pillow is made entirely of mahogany, and despite a thick silk cloth wrapped around it, the weight is always there.

In the blink of an eye, there was a fierce battle between my head and the solid wood pillow.

I lost......

As soon as I was smashed, I only felt that my eyes were starring, and my whole head was as if the old donkey raised by the family kicked it its hind legs, and in an instant I fell back on the bed.

"You deserve it, you whore!"

The woman seemed to be still angry after smashing it, and cursed a few more words, before turning around and leaving the room quickly......

———————————————————————————————————————

After a little reluctance, I shook my dizzy head and struggled to sit up on my own.

Although I really couldn't figure out why the fairy sister suddenly wanted to hurt someone, but the fright just now made me really break out in a cold sweat, and at this time, I faintly felt that my whole body was a lot more transparent, and even the arrow wound in my chest was no longer so painful.

So I began to observe my surroundings through the dim light.

I found some clues from this look.

Although this room does not have the splendor of the green houses I have seen before, it is spacious and elegant.

There are not many pieces of calligraphy, painting and antiques in the house, and the patterns on the top are mostly pine and bamboo as the theme, which gives people a sense of freshness and elegance, and there is no trace of the vulgar situation of the ordinary rich and noble people who wantonly pile up gold, silver and jade.

A few well-cut green plants by the window are also carefully placed to complement the interior furnishings and further set off the overall atmosphere of the house.

Looking at the whole interior of the house, it can really be described as elegant and light, like a beautiful woman's whispering.

Hey, it's a pity that the beauty has gone.

However, based on what I have seen and heard so far, I have come to the conclusion that I may be in the mansion of the Third Prince now.

After all, I could have been treated like this, and it was obviously impossible for me to be captured by that group of assassins.

Combined with the fact that the beauty called herself a "slave maid", it is very likely that she is just the person who is responsible for taking care of me, and the maid who can afford such a beautiful maid in the world can only be a royal family member, and more importantly, she did not wear filial piety on her body, so the third prince must have escaped smoothly in the end.

When I think about this, I feel a wave of ecstasy in my heart.

The happiest thing in the world is a false alarm.

But I'm not just a false alarm, picking up a life, so simple answer!

Although he was impulsive that day, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to save the three princes, but now that he is safe, why worry about not enjoying endless glory and wealth in the future?

I couldn't help but think of what Li Gongzi said to me before.

"Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in Tianzi Hall."

I didn't expect that Li Gongzi would say a prophecy, and he really gave him the right word, isn't this the situation in my current situation?

You know, it's a great credit to be lucky enough to be able to save the driver once, and I actually saved the three princes twice in a row in just two days?!

Throughout the ancient and modern times, even if you turn over the ancient historical books, this is an unheard of opportunity!

So I thought about a better life with no worries about food and clothing in the future, and I couldn't help but show that obscene expression on my face again.

Just as I was enjoying myself, the door was slowly pushed open again.

An old man with a white beard but a strong spirit walked in.

When I saw someone enter the door again, I immediately withdrew my intoxicated expression and hurriedly clasped my fists at him and saluted.

The old man didn't return the salute, but nodded slightly, then took a cup of tea from the table next to him and handed it to me, and said in a deep voice:

"The matter of Fang Cai, Su Yan has already made it clear to the old man that there is a misunderstanding, Xu Gongzi should not mind."

I shook my head to show that I didn't care, and took the tea and drank it down.

When my throat was slightly moistened, I asked:

"It's okay, how does Mr. know that his surname is Xu?"

The old man smiled and said:

"Why don't you ask who the old man is first?"

When he asked me this, I also felt that I was a little rude, and asked again with apologies:

"Uh, the junior is presumptuous, I don't know what to call Mr.?"

"The old man's surname is Yuan, his name is Jingluo, he is the supervisor of the dynasty, and he is also the chief speaker of the banquet of the mansion of the three princes."

As soon as this remark came out, I was immediately shocked in my heart, although the Guozijian Siye has no real power, he is a big official from the fourth grade, not to mention that this person also said that he is the master of the banquet of the Three Princes' Mansion, isn't that the teacher of the Three Princes?

Thinking of this, I was about to get up and bow down, but I didn't expect to be stopped by Lord Yuan, who continued:

"Xu Gongzi is seriously injured, there is no need to salute, what Xu Gongzi asked, in fact, is very simple, you have saved the three Highnesses twice in a row, the old man, as His Highness's teacher, will naturally pay more attention, just in case you don't have to go to the wrong door when you repay in the future, right?"

He said this very lightly, it seemed to be a joke, but I could hear the meaning of the words, it should be that I repeatedly rescued the three princes to make them suspicious, mistaking me for someone with ulterior motives, this is also normal, after all, even I don't believe in this kind of coincidence, presumably during the time I was unconscious, this old man has investigated my ancestors for eighteen generations.

But now that he has appeared in front of me, it means that even if he was suspicious in the past, he has basically let down his guard at this time.

I secretly reminded myself in my heart that this old man must not be good at talking in circles, and I should be more careful when I speak next.

So I smiled cooperatively and asked casually:

"I don't know where I am at this time? I'm still bothered by the old man to tell me ......"

Old man Yuan didn't answer after hearing this, but said thoughtlessly:

"Another."

"Uh...... Change what? ”

"The old man doesn't like to ask knowingly, change the question."

As soon as he came out like this, I immediately felt a little embarrassed, and I wanted to pretend to be a harmless ignorant person, so that he could completely let down his guard, but who knew that it was debunked in an instant.

So I had to laugh and change the question.

"Ugh. Hehe, I don't know what the current situation of the Third Highness is? ”

"Another."

"Why do you have to change another one?"

"Another."

"I don't know...... I wonder if the real murderer has been found? ”

"Another."

"Still changing?"

"Another."

"I don't know what reward I can get!!"

This quick and easy question-and-answer finally came to an abrupt end when I asked the question.

I saw that Old Yuan twisted his beard and smiled with satisfaction, and finally answered my question positively.

"This question is finally like a point, you have saved the Third Highness twice, as long as you open your mouth, any reward will not be a problem. However, the old man can give you a little advice, in this troubled times, even if you have gold and silver, you will one day sit on the empty mountain, it is better to take this opportunity to think of a long-term errand, which can not only show the man's revenge, but also be truly invincible. ”

I was played by this old man, and I was out of breath at this time, out of pride, I was unwilling to obey his wishes, so I gambled and said:

"If I prefer the gold, silver, and jewelry, what about a beautiful wife?"

Old man Yuan was not annoyed, he just smiled faintly, shook his head and said:

"You won't."

"How do you know I won't?"

"Another."

“......”
