His tone was still cold and indifferent:

"What's the matter?"

He glanced at her hand, but didn't pull it away, didn't make any other moves, just let her hold it.

Her gaze moved from his face to his hands, how much love/caress and heartbeats these hands had brought her, and now how much heartache these hands had made her have, but now she had to hold on to him.

She didn't dare to look at his face because she was afraid that he would refuse, which was her only hope.

"I have a younger sister who used to work as an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Daegu, but her whereabouts are unknown now, I don't know where she is, I don't know if she's okay now, whether she's in danger or not, I want to find her, but I ......"

"You don't have the ability."

He saw through her mind and said what she felt ashamed of.

She suddenly was like a deflated ball, and as soon as she let go of her hand, she was about to slide down, but he grabbed it backhanded, and a soft little hand was tightly held in his palm.

She was startled, raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that he was also looking at herself, and couldn't help but lower her eyes again.

"Yes, I don't have that ability, so can you help me find her?"

She had to admit that compared to Mu Jiuxiao, she was far behind.

As a little maid, she has no power, no power, and only one night with him, and this night has now become her only bargaining chip.

She didn't know if he would agree to the little maid's request, but in any case, her little maid had a special meaning to him, after all, it was also his first time, otherwise he wouldn't have saved her again and again, and now he kept her by his side, and even tried to make her feel at ease.

He is a rare stupid man, but he is also a responsible and responsible man.

His voice floated above his head:

"Yes."

The two words made her immediately turn melancholy into joy, and she raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise:

"Really?"

"Conditions?"

But soon, the two words below him plunged her into melancholy again.

This person is always so kind of about conditions, and he will never suffer.

Finding her sister is the key, as long as she finds her sister, she will no longer have to be subject to Cloud Falling City, she can take her sister away and live her free life.

So......

"As long as you can find your sister, whatever you say, it's what you say."

She looked at him and said firmly, her crystal eyes were like two black onyxes, and the stubbornness and persistence were undisguised.

He suddenly hooked the corner of one side of his lips, and the demonic face became evil because of this shallow arc:

"Okay, this king wants you to stay by this king's side forever, no matter how the sun and moon change, landslides or earth cracks, tsunamis or storms, you will forever, only, belong to me!"

Her eyes widened instantly, and under his domineering words, her heart skipped several beats.

Stay by his side forever? Forever can only belong to him?

If it was in the past, she would not hesitate to promise him, snuggle into his arms, and sue him, which is also her wish.

But now, ......

Instinctively, his hand tried to pull it out of his hand, but his hand locked her firmly like a tong, making her unable to move.

She had burned the words on her chest, she had already resolved to break with him, why did he have to trouble her so much now?

She didn't want to lie, because the lie was too heavy.

However, he is now her only hope to save her sister, and only he can compete with the forces of Cloud Fall City, for the sake of her sister, what qualifications does she have to say "no"?

She no longer struggled, her little hands were clenched in his palms, and in the dry winter, her palms were already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

The big eyes slowly closed, hiding the hazy mist under the eyes, and nodded lightly:

"I promise you."

She is not qualified to object, her sister fell into the clutches of Cloud Fallen City because of her, and now her life and death are uncertain, how can she make up for this pain?

"Remember what you said today."

He coldly threw down a sentence, let go of her hand, and turned to stride away.

Yes, she will remember today's words: This king wants you to stay by this king's side forever, no matter how the sun and moon change, landslides or earth cracks, tsunamis or storms, you will always belong to me!

Although she knows that it is impossible for them to be together, she will always remember this sentence in her heart, as a tribute to her first love.

－

Time flows forward like water, and the days become dull and quiet.

A few days have passed, Lin Ling'er's leg injury has basically recovered, she can jump alive again, and the burns on her chest are gradually scabbing, hiding the original vermilion "Xiao" in a dark red.

As Mu Jiuxiao said, no one will hurt her, and no one will hurt her anymore, Chunyu's fingers are getting better day by day, and the two of them are waiting for her with Xia Yu, the person who is in Yunqicheng seems to have disappeared from her life, and this change has only happened in a few days, and it is still unbelievable to think about it now.

The voice of Mu Jiuxiao and Yun Chengcheng in the West Chamber that night was still in her ears, she didn't understand, Mu Jiuxiao was unwilling to marry Shangguan Qingqing as a side concubine before, how could he be cold to Yun Chengcheng for her sake now? Also, he never mentioned marrying her again, did he really just want to treat her as an ordinary maid in the future?

Things became unpredictable for her, but the facts were in front of her, and she could only go with the flow, not do what he thought, take care of her body steadily, wait for Mu Jiuxiao to bring news of her sister, and then ......

It's a pity that ordinary life never seems to favor her so much, and on this day, an uninvited guest came to the private room.

At that time, just after breakfast, Xia Yu went to prepare tea for Lin Ling'er, Chunyu's fingers were not good, and he couldn't get wet, so he only did some cleaning errands in the elegant room, and when he was cleaning the dust with a feather duster, she only heard a cough outside the door, and her movements were paused, and she hurriedly went out to see what was going on.

At the door, Shangguan Qingqing, accompanied by Chunxiao, was standing there and poking into the house, because he didn't have the permission of his master, so he didn't dare to enter lightly.

Who doesn't know this Miss Shangguan in the Hades Palace, the last time because of her illness, the entire palace was not peaceful, and the collusion between Chunxiao and Li Huichun to cheat and deceive was also spread, and she also felt that her face was gloomy because of this matter, and she hid for a while and did not dare to go out of the door of Qingxin Garden.

Chunyu saw that it was her, and although she didn't like it, she also politely gave a salute and said:

"It turned out to be Miss Shangguan, you are here ......"

Chunyu asked in a long voice, after all, Lin Ling'er and Shangguan Qingqing had never even met, but Shangguan Qingqing suddenly appeared here, which made people curious.

Shangguan Qingqing retracted her gaze slightly embarrassed, but she couldn't hide the curiosity and envy in her eyes, smiled slightly, and said:

"Oh, I heard that Brother Xiao has a new maid by his side, and I think that there will be no shortage of contacts in the future, so I came to take a look."

Who in the Hades Mansion doesn't know that Shangguan Qingqing likes Mu Jiuxiao, how many years she has been looking forward to being the princess, but it's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, the Hades King has always rejected her thousands of miles away, and she was jealous before to find trouble with the princess, and now she is here...... Chunyu's eyebrows drooped slightly, thinking that Shangguan Qingqing must be a bad comer, and he had already regarded her as a flood beast, so he pulled out a dry smile and said:

"Sister Ling'er is recuperating from her injuries, the prince has instructed that no idle people are allowed to come to disturb, Miss Shangguan, please wait for a while, wait for the slave maid to pass the word, and then reply to Miss, how about it?"

Shangguan Qingqing has reined in a lot after the lesson of the last time, even if she stripped off and stood in front of Mu Jiuxiao, he never looked at her, and even pushed her out, since then, she has been staying in Qingxin Garden honestly, rarely going out.

After hearing about the deeds of Mu Jiuxiao and the princess on the battlefield, she was even more heartbroken, thinking that Mu Jiuxiao was really in love with Yun Chengcheng, but since Lin Ling'er came, the original situation seemed to be broken, so she mustered up the courage to go out, wanting to see this maid who was "hidden in the golden house" by Mu Jiuxiao.

The reason why she is said to be a "golden house hidden girl", if she is just a little maid, why do you need two other maids to serve? Why bother to make room for her next door to his study? Isn't it just to shorten the distance and open the door to convenience?

Because of this, no one dared to underestimate Lin Ling'er, the woman who stayed by Mu Jiuxiao's side in the name of the maid, everyone thought that she would be the future side concubine, but it was just a matter of time.

Chunxiao has been tempered by the Buddha Hall for a month, but she is still the same, what the four are empty have not entered her mind at all, because she has never given up, even if she can't marry again, even if she is a maid, she has to be the one with the highest position.

"Miscellaneous people, etc.?"

Chunyu's words made her hair explode, she was still the girl who stood behind Shangguan Qingqing and pointed fingers, and stood out in order to fight for power and profit.

"Chunyu, our Miss Shangguan is the only daughter of Shangguan Junshi, and she is the sister of our prince's childhood sweetheart, do you dare to say that Miss Shangguan is an idle person?"

She glanced at Chunyu's two severed fingers and sneered,

"I see that your two fingers are broken in vain, and you really don't have a long memory at all!"

Chunyu's brows were raised, her thin lips were pursed, and she lifted these two fingers, which were her eternal pain, and now that she was so ridiculed by Chunxiao, she was even more heartbroken, and she was angry.

The attitude immediately became tougher, and the breaking of two fingers did not make her cowardly, but instead had a spirit that would rather be broken than complete:

"The idle miscellaneous people are said by the prince himself, Chunxiao, do you want to ask the prince, who are the idle miscellaneous people, are there any unobtrusive minions like you?"

"You ......"

Chunxiao was so choked that she couldn't get out of her heart in one breath, and her face was flushed.

Shangguan Qingqing suppressed her in time, the prince's study is next door, now Lin Ling'er is so favored, if she continues to make trouble, I am afraid that she will be the one who suffers.

"Okay, Chunxiao, stop bickering, this is Ling'er's residence, and it should be passed on by Chunyu."

Shangguan Qingqing said calmly.

"But Miss, she, Lin Ling'er is just a minion, why should she ......?"

"Shut up!"

Shangguan Qingqing reprimanded lightly, and turned to smile at Chunyu,

"Chunyu, please go and spread the word, let's wait here."

Seeing that Shangguan Qingqing was polite, Chunyu didn't show his face anymore, and his voice softened a little, and said:

"Then please wait here for a while, and the slave will come when she goes."
