Chapter 165: Captivity
As soon as the words fell, a smile immediately bloomed on Xing'er's face, which made her marvel at the speed of the face change.
"Miss, how can we know the whereabouts of our master." Apricot stood up and replied obediently.
Ling Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, it seemed that she couldn't leave now if she wanted to, "Then can you help me deliver a letter?" I'm afraid that others will worry about me. ”
Xing'er nodded hurriedly, "Miss, don't worry, Xing'er promises to be delivered." ”
After half a pillar of incense, Ling Xiaoxiao handed the letter to Xin'er, and instructed: "Xing'er, when you go there, if the person I said hasn't arrived yet, then you should give the letter to the innkeeper first, so that when she moves in, the boss will naturally hand it over to her." The place she was talking about was actually the place she had made an appointment with Laby, and it was also the meeting place set in case something happened, but she wasn't so stupid, in this strange place, surrounded by strange people, she told them the location when they met for the first time.
Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at the letter in Xing'er's hand, and then looked at her meaningfully.
After Xing'er took the letter, she lowered her head and responded: "Miss, don't worry, Xing'er will definitely be delivered." ”
After Xing'er left, Ling Xiaoxiao immediately walked from the house to the courtyard, the size of the place made her sigh, but when she was about to walk to the door of the courtyard, looking at the guards guarding the door, her heart began to feel uneasy, this seemed to be guarding her, she didn't know who the other party's purpose was now, let alone whether the other party was friend or foe, so now she could only wait quietly for Xing'er's reply.
Back in the house, Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the bookshelf by the window and walked along, she used to hate reading the most, it seemed that she could only use books to pass the time.
An hour later, Ling Xiaoxiao, who was dozing off at the desk, suddenly heard a movement at the door, and was so frightened that she immediately woke up, and looked up, but it was Xing'er who came back.
Xing'er walked to the table, and then blessed herself and said, "Miss, the letter has been delivered, but the shopkeeper has not yet come, so I will follow your instructions to put the letter on the shopkeeper's side, and when the people arrive, I will hand over the letter." ”
As if she had expected it a long time ago, Ling Xiaoxiao yawned and said calmly: "That's good, Xing'er has worked hard for you." After saying that, he smiled at her.
Xing'er was a little embarrassed, "If Miss says anything, if Miss has other instructions, she can directly order Xing'er." ”
Ling Xiaoxiao thought about it, and at this time, her stomach rang just in time, and Ling Xiaoxiao looked at her, "Look, I didn't feel it before, but now you call it as soon as you say it." Ling Xiaoxiao pointed to her stomach and said.
Xing'er hid her face and smiled, and then nodded understandingly, "Miss, wait a minute, it's Xing'er who is negligent." After saying that, he was ready to turn around and prepare some pastries and tea.
At this time, Ling Xiaoxiao stopped her again, and Xing'er looked at her curiously.
"Xing'er, if you see your master, please come here, I'm a little anxious about my friend."
"Don't worry, Miss, when you see the master, the slave and the maid will definitely tell you as soon as possible, by the way, if the young lady is still not at ease, the young lady can paint a portrait of your friend to the slave and the maid, and then I will ask the guards in the house to directly notify your friend to come to the house to pick you up."
Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head and replied: "No need, my friend doesn't like high-ranking officials and powerful, if she knows that I left her here, she will ignore me, and when she hasn't replied, then I'll ask you to help find someone." ”
"Okay, if the young lady has nothing else to say, the slave will go and prepare some pastries."
Ling Xiaoxiao nodded, and after Xing'er left the door, Ling Xiaoxiao stood up from her seat with an anxious expression on her face.
"What to do? What to do? Ling Xiaoxiao was pacing back and forth in the room, the current situation was even worse than she thought, if she guessed correctly, she should have been placed under house arrest, and Xing'er had told her before that this was in King Rong'an's mansion, she couldn't figure out why King Rong'an wanted to imprison her, and it was so blatant, it seemed that the other party had a purpose, but she was here without relatives and for no reason, why would she suddenly arrest her, then the most likely thing is-
"Xiao Anzi-" Ling Xiaoxiao muttered, she now regretted a little why she didn't ask Xiao Anzi about the real situation now, she only knew that Xiao Anzi was doing things outside, and it was not an ordinary thing, otherwise with the identity of Xiao Anzi before, it would be impossible to send Na Wei to guard her, thinking of the last time she was almost in danger, it is possible that this time is the same batch as last time, but she knows nothing about Xiao Anzi now, and she is imprisoned in this Rong'an Mansion, her situation is very passive.
"Xiao Anzi, who are you?" Ling Xiaoxiao wanted to break his head, but he couldn't think of anything, so he scratched his head irritably, it seemed that he could only take one step at a time now.
While thinking about it, Xing'er had already pushed the door into the house with refreshments, and when she saw Ling Xiaoxiao sitting at the table, Xing'er chuckled, and then put the pastry on the table, "Miss, please use the heart." ”
The corners of Ling Xiaoxiao's mouth tugged at the corner of a smile, and he laughed twice, "Okay, good." While eating, she looked at the apricot, it seemed that this apricot was not as harmless as it seemed, otherwise she didn't hear a sound just now, and saw her enter the house.
"Miss, is there anything on the slave's face?" Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao had been staring at herself, Xing'er touched her cheek and said.
Ling Xiaoxiao swallowed the pastry in his hand, shook his head, and asked casually, "By the way, what kind of person is King Rong'an you are talking about?" ”
Hearing this question, Xing'er's eyes suddenly brightened, and it seemed that she had asked the right question.
"Our master is not an ordinary person, he is the prince of Chu State, and he is also the King of Rong'an of Chu State, and he has made great contributions to Chu State......
At the mention of King Rong'an, Xing'er's words unconsciously became more, but this was a good thing for her, just to understand the situation she was in now.
Seeing Ling Xiaoxiao staring at her with an interesting face, Xing'er's cheeks suddenly turned red, and Xing'er hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Miss forgive the sin, it was the slave who overstepped it." ”
Ling Xiaoxiao saw that Xing'er was no longer speaking, and a lost expression appeared on her face, "I was listening attentively, why didn't I suddenly stop talking?" ”
Hearing this, Xing'er stood up suddenly, looking a little flustered, "Miss, the slave maid suddenly remembered that there is still something to do, if you have no other instructions, the slave maid will retreat first." ”
Xing'er's attitude was more resolute, and Ling Xiaoxiao could only give up, it seemed that it would be even more difficult for her to talk about these things again in the future, "Okay, I don't have anything else to do for the time being, you can be busy first if you have something." ”
"Then the slave and maid will retire first." Xing'er left the house with a blessed body, and her steps increased significantly faster.
Ling Xiaoxiao leaned on the table with her hands on her cheeks, and it could be seen from Xing'er's speech just now that Xing'er was almost infatuated with this King Rong'an, and it seemed that it was impossible to make her turn against her to help.
Picking up the pastry and stuffing it into your mouth, it seems that for now, you can only sit back and wait.
After staying in this courtyard for nearly two days, Ling Xiaoxiao looked at Xing'er, who had been following her, and said helplessly: "Xing'er, where is your master?" This was the first time she didn't know how many times she had asked it.
Xing'er hung her head and responded, "Miss, the slave doesn't know." ”
Since Xing'er talked about Queen Rong'an in front of her that time, she hasn't said a word in front of her since.
In the past two days, no matter where she goes, Xing'er will follow her inch by inch, which is obviously naked surveillance.
Ling Xiao stood up abruptly, then looked up at the big tree in the courtyard, and stretched out his hand to point at the tree.
"Apricot, I'm going to climb a tree and pick fruit."
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, and by the time she reacted, Ling Xiaoxiao had already lifted her skirt and was ready to climb the tree.
"Miss, this is unacceptable." Xing'er hurriedly stepped forward and supported her by the side, stretching out her hand to protect her while persuading, afraid that she would have a chance.
The overly long skirt was very in the way, Ling Xiaoxiao tied the skirt in a knot on the side, and then climbed the thick tree trunk with both hands, thinking that she was a little expert at tree climbing in their village back then, and almost no one could win her, but she didn't do this sport for a long time, she was a little rusty.
Xing'er on the side saw her climbing the big tree in such an indecent posture, her first reaction was to look around, hoping that no one else would see this scene, seeing Ling Xiaoxiao's ass twisting and slowly moving up the tree trunk, Xing'er coughed twice, she had never seen such a woman who did not pay attention to her image, or a woman who could make such indecent movements, although she wanted to look away, but the task forced her to stare at her closely.
"Miss, be careful."
After a while, Ling Xiaoxiao held on to the trunk of the tree and slowly stood on a thicker branch, staring at the apricot under the tree with a smile on his face and said, "Xing'er, do you want to come up too, there are a lot of fruits here." "Red, she has never seen such a bright and translucent fruit.
Xing'er saw her reaching out to pick it, and sighed helplessly, this is a fruit tree that their master has planted for several years to feed, this year is the first fruit, and the master has not yet tasted it.
"Xing'er, you go and get a basket, I'll pick some fruit and I'll come down." Ling Xiaoxiao reminded the apricot under the tree again.
Xing'er looked at her with some concern, and saw that she waved excitedly, and no longer did any struggling thoughts, and walked to the kitchen as she spoke, "Miss, you hold on to the trunk of the tree, don't let go, the slave will bring you a basket." "Now she can't take care of this fruit tree, as long as Ling Xiaoxiao can come down unharmed, this is her current task, Ling Xiaoxiao must not be injured in any way.
"Okay." Hearing this echo, Xing'er walked away with confidence.
