Chapter 12: The rules of the royal palace are many
Midnight......
Tong Xinya opened her eyes in the dark and listened carefully to the situation around her. After noticing that there was no movement around her, she quickly got up and put on her clothes. He crept to the windowsill, then opened a small slit and looked outside. Outside, nothing could be heard except the sound of bugs calling.
She rolled over to the outside, and under the cover of the night, she gradually disappeared into the darkness. In fact, Tong Xinya wanted to find out what was planted on the wall. If she can't climb over the wall and have a few more big holes on her body, then she is really sad.
On the way, she walked on the trail by the light of the candles on the road. I didn't dare to make too much noise, but I could still hear the rustle of her footsteps as she walked. When she walked to a wall she was passing by today, she looked closer, and found that there was only one thing planted around the wall, and it was still thorny. Unlike cacti, these seem to be harder than the spines on cacti. It seems that if you touch it lightly with your hand, it will bleed. , Tong Xinya reached out and stumbled some. Want to see what these things are by candlelight?
"Who's there?!" A male voice came from not far away, which approached Tong Xinya's eardrums, and the thorns in her hands fell off in fright. There are even some of them, which she grabbed hard in the palm of her hand. Suddenly, she finally knew the taste of ten fingers and hearts, and it turned out to be this sour!
When Tong Xinya was still there and stood there in a frightened daze, the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer to her, she couldn't escape now that she wanted to escape from a wall in front of her, and I didn't know if it was a person or a ghost in the back, and she didn't know the road very well, where could she run? But she thought about it, it shouldn't be a ghost.
"I ...... I am...... Human? "Actually, Tong Xinya doesn't know whether to say that she is a slave or a subordinate at this time, but where can she manage so much now?" Something fell around here today, so come out and look for it. Don't come here! ”
Because the person opposite had his back to the candlelight, Tong Xinya couldn't see his face clearly. But she could feel the people in front of her walking towards her step by step.
"Don't you know the rules of the palace? This king is here to see who is so bold that he dares to break the rules of the palace! In fact, when Tong Xinya sneaked into the garden, he heard footsteps, but he couldn't tell where the source came from.
Belch? This king? Tong Xinya was a little embarrassed when she heard this, feeling that this is the stinky face of the prince? No wonder the voice is a little familiar, she thought that the ancient people went to bed very early, but she didn't expect this stinky face prince to go to the garden in the middle of the night in this mood?!
Under the candlelight, Shen Lingfeng also saw clearly the self-proclaimed subordinate Tong Xinya in front of him, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning. It's midnight now, what valuables have dropped to make her come here in the middle of the night? And call yourself a subordinate? "It turned out to be you, Xie Qingwen?!"
Forehead...... As if it was seen, Tong Xinya scratched the back of her head embarrassedly, "Hehe...... It turned out to be the prince? Uh, I'm ...... That thing fell. I didn't think about it for a while during the day, but when I thought about it just now, I thought that there was no one here, and the things must still be there, so I came to look for it. "What to do? Shen Lingfeng's face seemed to stink even more!
"Oh? I don't know what the princess needs to find, so the king sent someone to find it. Shen Lingfeng said, and his steps took a big step in front of Tong Xinya. So that she could see the face that resembled hers.
"Huh? No, no, no, I found it, I'll go back now. "What can she drop? Now she's poor and white, what else is there to lose?!
"Now that the princess has found it, let this king take a look, and let this king take a good look at what kind of good things can make the princess run to the garden in the middle of the night." Saying that, Shen Lingfeng also stretched out his hand, as if if if you didn't let him see it, he wouldn't let you go!
Tong Xinya wanted to cry, a few thorns in her hand that she didn't know what they were, did she dare to take them out? She didn't dare! Now if she doesn't say anything else, let's just say that her whole body is aching now, and she still has to think about the strength of her fist. Not to mention running away, they are all people who are princes, how can Tong Xinya think that this Shen Lingfeng is so careful?!
"Take it out!" Even Tong Xinya didn't take out the hand behind her for a long time, Shen Lingfeng didn't know where it came from, this garden didn't talk about other people at night, even Steward Hong rarely came over, but I didn't expect Tong Xinya to run out in the middle of the night.
Tong Xinya swallowed her saliva, okay, it's a death left and right, it's better to have a good time, so Tong Xinya quickly put the thorn on Shen Lingfeng's hand. Then there was when I didn't know what to do, and pulled the corners of my mouth, "That...... I said I wanted to work on new varieties, would you believe me? ”
Shen Lingfeng felt a tingling pain in his palm, and he couldn't help but see clearly by candlelight, it was a torture thorn, and there were some blood stains on the spikes, and this kind of torture thorns would be planted on the wall in large quantities in every household. Because in the past few years, there have been thieves from the outside world who have broken into people's homes to steal money, and this kind of thing is still transplanted from the frontier, and the growth rate is fast. The thorns on it bleed at the slightest touch, not to mention brute force to climb over the wall and steal property.
But Shen Lingfeng's mind was not on the torture thorn on his hand, but also on the blood stains on the torture thorn. The blood stains on this are dry, and they should be on Tong Xinya's hands.
"Well, I thought it was fun, so I wanted to take it back and study it." Seeing that Shen Lingfeng hadn't spoken, he thought he didn't believe what she said, uh...... Even she doesn't believe it herself, okay, who has nothing to do to study a few thorns? It can also easily stab the hand.
"What? Isn't that what you're on the frontier? Could it be that the princess still wants to take it back to the east room for offering? Shen Lingfeng was a little displeased, the main thing was to see Tong Xinya's indifferent expression, didn't she feel that her hand was injured?
"Huh?" It turned out to be from the frontier, huh? "Oh, I think ...... This thing just makes me feel so homesick. So I want to pick some back and raise ......" Tong Xinya's voice became lower and lower, not for anything else, but to see Shen Lingfeng's face getting darker and darker. It doesn't seem to make sense.
Shen Lingfeng's indescribable strangeness was not shown, he felt that the so-called princess in front of him was different from the so-called princess. Let's put aside the rumors, this torture stab was originally something that can be seen in the frontier, as a frontier person, very few people touch it directly with their hands, because once touched, not only will it bleed, but if it is not dealt with in time, there will be itchy symptoms on the body every once in a while. But the princess in front of her was obviously the first time she had seen this kind of thing, and she not only touched it directly with her hands. He also paid attention to the wounds on his hands.
Seeing that Shen Lingfeng still didn't speak, Tong Xinya had no choice but to find a reason to slip away. "Hmm...... That prince, since your old man has nothing to do, then I'll go back to sleep first, if your old man wants this thing, then I don't want it. ”
After speaking, Tong Xinya thought about crossing Shen Lingfeng's side, there were so many mosquitoes in ancient times, she seemed to have been bitten several times. It's not okay to start itching on your body, but you can't scratch it without quality, right? But Shen Lingfeng stood there motionless, she was 160 tall and didn't wear high heels, she felt inferior in front of Shen Lingfeng.
Seeing that Tong Xinya wanted to leave, Shen Lingfeng stood in front and reached out to grab her hand. In front of her, the blood stains on the torture thorn did not look much, but she could vaguely see the dense small wounds on her hand that had been stabbed by the torture thorn. There were also some abrasions that had begun to dry up, which were supposed to be left by her fall yesterday. It's just, why didn't anyone bandage her? Even if the next person forgets, the wound will not hurt on her?
Shen Lingfeng's face was cold, he really wanted to open her head and see what was inside. "Follow this king to the west room!"
Before Tong Xinya could reply, Shen Lingfeng dragged Tong Xinya in the direction of the west room. It doesn't matter if she pulls it, Tong Xinya is not familiar with the road under her feet. Walking up and limping, let others see the indescribable funny, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito a few times, and now he can't help but reach out and want to scratch.
Noticing Tong Xinya's movements, Shen Lingfeng unconsciously slowed down. When he saw Tong Xinya's other hand being scratched off his face at this time, his heart trembled. "If you still want this face, don't move it!"
When Tong Xinya heard this, she glanced up at Shen Lingfeng, wipe! Do you have to have rules when you tickle it? There are too many rules in this palace, right?!
