With the departure of the emperor, the people in this garden dispersed, Xie Nantian looked at Xie Chuyao, who was still in a daze, and asked with concern: "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

His daughter hasn't spoken out since she asked the palace maid just now, can't she be frightened, thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, although he has been away from home for a long time, but his daughter's temperament is somewhat understood, and she is timid and afraid by nature.

If he was really scared, then he would have to settle accounts with this Miss Zhao family.

He glanced at Zhao Xinlan, who was following behind Master Zhao, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness.

Xie Chuyao came back to her senses at this time, she had actually been thinking about the relationship between Zhao Xinlan and the palace maid, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally came to a conclusion, there are two possibilities, one is that the palace maid took this Zhao Xinlan's money, so she will help her with her errands, last year the concubine stole the jade pendant out of the palace and gave it to Zhao Xinlan, and then she framed herself. The second is that the palace maid was originally the dark line that the Zhao family planted in the palace of the concubine this year, and she did things for this Zhao Xinlan, but she put herself on the hook.

No, there is a third possibility, that is, the palace maid is actually a substitute for the dead, and the truth is that Zhao Xinlan stole the jade pendant of the concubine.

But the third one doesn't make sense, the palace maid was brought by Shang Jingcheng, was he afraid that Zhao Xinlan's deeds would be exposed, so he found a substitute for the dead ghost, but what he did just now was for her to be a little more.

Also, if it is really a ghost for the dead, the palace maid will not admit her guilt and recognize it so simply, looking at her appearance, she is protecting the person behind it.

In this way, the second may be the closest to the truth.

If it is really the second possibility, then things are not simple, so how many eyeliners did Zhao Shangshu put in this palace?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously shrunk her shoulders, and suddenly this little heart was a little scared.

"Daddy, let's go back!" Xie Chuyao doesn't think about these things anymore, the things in the palace are too complicated, so she should be her eldest lady quietly.

It's just that she wants to be quiet, but others don't want her to be quiet, Xie Yiyu glared at her fiercely, and then stepped forward and stepped on her while Xie Nantian was walking in front, and then left angrily.

Xie Chuyao covered her feet in pain, and her facial features were wrinkled together.

"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" Xie Nantian saw that she didn't follow, so he stopped and looked back at her.

Xie Chuyao hurriedly let go of his hand, then shook his head and said, "It's okay, Daddy, let's go!" ”

With that, she grinned at him and followed him again.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and she hurriedly tugged at Xie Nantian's sleeve and said, "Daddy, you go first, I'll come when I go!" ”

After saying that, he didn't care whether he agreed or not, he lifted the corner of his skirt and ran away.

"Hey, Yao'er, you have to remember the time when you left the palace, Daddy is waiting for you at the palace gate!" Xie Nantian shouted worriedly.

I don't know what happened to this girl, but the kung fu disappeared after a while.

Xie Yiyu was also busy saying to Xie Nantian: "Daddy, I still have some things, so I won't go with you!" ”

After speaking, she also followed Xie Chuyao away.

Xie Nantian frowned slightly, he glanced sideways at Xie Yueyan and Xie Shuci, who followed him in a proper manner, and asked tentatively, "Won't you two go too?" ”

"No, no, Daddy, we'll accompany you and the second lady!" Xie Yueya hurriedly said flatteringly.

Xie Shuci originally wanted to take the opportunity to visit the scenery in this palace, but as soon as Xie Yueyan said it, his back road was blocked.

He glared at his sister with some annoyance, and then followed behind Xie Nantian with an unhappy expression.

Xie Chuyao saw Shang Jingcheng's figure, but she chased all the way to this secluded place but didn't even see a ghost, she didn't take green beads and red roses with her in a hurry, and now she was alone in this strange place, and the night was dark and windy, which couldn't help but make her a little scared.

This is a bamboo forest, just next to the peach blossom forest, if it is during the day, it should still feel very good, but now it is quiet, and then listening to the "squeak" sound of the wind blowing the bamboo, her little heart beats wildly.

After looking around and seeing no one, she didn't dare to look any further, so she covered her heart, and she picked up her skirt and prepared to leave.

But suddenly, a figure came out of the peach garden next to her, and grabbed her while she wasn't paying attention.

"You, you, are you a human or a ghost? Don't hurt me, I'm just passing by......" I heard that there are the most unjust ghosts in this palace, she is afraid, she is afraid of gods and ghosts.

The person who held her couldn't help but laugh "poof" when he saw her so timid and scared, and it was this sound that made Xie Chuyao know that he was a person behind him and not a ghost, because his exhaled breath was spraying in his ears, and it was warm.

Her heart settled a lot at once, and she asked with some annoyance, "Who are you?" Let me go! ”

"Oh, didn't you follow me? Now ask who I am! After the person behind him finished speaking, he let go of her, and then looked at her with a ruffian face.

It turned out that this person was the fifth prince Shang Jingcheng, and her heart that originally wanted to find him to thank him was now a lot lighter, so she respectfully saluted him and said: "It turned out to be the fifth prince, the folk girl just wanted to come over and say thank you to you, and I left first if there was nothing else!" ”

After saying that, he didn't look at him again, and turned to leave.

Shang Jingcheng frowned slightly, stepped forward to stop her and asked, "So you're leaving?" ”

"And what else do you want?" Xie Chuyao looked at him with a straight face.

"There's no sincerity at all, where is anyone like you to thank you like this?" Shang Jingcheng was not satisfied at all.

Xie Chuyao glared at him and said, "All this sincerity has been scared away by you, you try to be held hostage from behind, and see if you are still in the mood to say thank you!" ”

"Isn't that daring to be mine?" Shang Jingcheng said helplessly, "Who let you sneakily follow me, I don't know it's you." ”

Xie Chuyao snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, I have already said this thank you, so I won't accompany you, goodbye!" ”

There is still a curfew in this palace, and she is afraid that her father will worry about her if she doesn't leave.

"Are you afraid you won't be able to get out?" Shang Jingcheng couldn't help but grab her by the collar, and this time she almost fell down.

She shouted angrily: "What are you doing, let me go quickly, I said that I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out?" ”

Isn't it normal for her to be afraid that she won't be able to get out? There is a curfew in this palace, if she is locked in this palace, won't she have to sleep outside here all night? This doesn't have to kill her to death.

Although it was summer, she felt uncomfortable when she thought about sleeping outside.
