Chapter 42: A Surprising Coincidence

Xue Ning squinted at Xue Hao on the side and asked.

Xue Hao approached her and said, "This is the third sister, your personal palace maid Xiaoshu, when you disappeared in Huguo Temple, she was knocked unconscious." ”

I see.

Xue Ning looked at Xiao Shu, she had a deep scar on her forehead, it looked like it hadn't been for a long time, and she hadn't dealt with it well, it should have been the injury she suffered when she was knocked unconscious.

"Xiaoshu, you get up first." Xue Ning said softly, without any reproach in her tone.

But Xiaoshu still knelt there, "No, the slave and maid can't get up, the slave and maid didn't protect the princess well, please condemn the princess!" ”

Xue Ning cupped her forehead, a little headache.

There were so many things she had encountered throughout the day, and she really didn't have the energy to deal with these people's affairs.

Seeing that she insisted on kneeling, she waved her hand and said, "Since this is the case, then I will punish you for kneeling here for a stick of incense." ”

After speaking, he turned to Xue Hao, "Let's go in." ”

What is the difference between kneeling and not punishing?

Everyone was a little surprised, even Xiaoshu felt incredible.

With the princess's past temper, even if she doesn't kill her, she will be beaten to the point that she has only half a life left.

Strange is strange, but she still hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you for the grace of the princess not to kill, and the slave will be punished!" ”

Xue Ning and his party left, and everyone dispersed, leaving Xiaoshu who was kneeling on the ground alone.

There were still tears on her cheeks, but the fear and guilt in her eyes had long since disappeared, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile.

Xiao Feng, who hadn't spoken since he came in, suddenly turned his head when he stepped into the door, and glanced at the slender back kneeling there straight, his eyes shining.

After entering the Lingxi Palace, Xue Ning knew that the carriage Xue Hao was sitting in was not luxurious, and the real luxury was here.

The pillars of gold and jade, the tables, chairs and beds of the finest rosewood, and even the sheets and bedding in the room, and even the patterns on the veils are all made of gold thread.

A girl's boudoir is actually decorated with golden light, and she is not afraid of being blind.

Seeing Xue Ning frowning and not moving, Xue Hao hurriedly said, "Third sister, although you are not here, there are always people cleaning here, and I will come to check every day." ”

"Ah, it's good, it's good." Xue Ning didn't know what to say, after all, these were the original tastes of her body, so she could only play haha and perfunctory.

Walking to the table and sitting down, Xue Ning suddenly said, "When I went to Huguo Temple, was there only Xiaoshu with me?" ”、

"Yes." Xue Hao walked over, poured her a glass of water, then sat down on the side, and continued: "Originally, I was going to accompany you, and my father agreed, but the day before I left, I fell off my horse when I went hunting in the northern suburbs and injured my leg. Third sister, it's me who is so useless......"

Speaking of this, Xue Hao lowered his head guiltily.

Xue Ning nodded, was slightly silent and looked up at Mo Chen who was standing on the side, "What about Mo Chen, why didn't you follow?" ”

Mo Chen said expressionlessly: "At that time, the queen mother was sick and the sixth prince was injured, so the princess left her subordinates to guard Fengqi Palace. ”

"I see." Xue Ning played with the cup in her hand, thoughtful.

Everything happened together, where in the world are so many coincidences, the only possibility is man-made.

Xue Hao looked at her like this, and didn't dare to speak, just looked at Mo Chen for a while, and looked at Xiao Feng for a while, but this big and small were all cold faces, scratching their heads and not knowing what to do.
