Miao Li sat on the ground with her knees crossed, looking at the breakfast that was delivered, and she had no appetite at all. The things that were sent were her favorites, and it seemed that she was not treated like a prisoner. But she didn't have any fate for her, and she didn't know what happened to Zhou Shuxuan, so she was very anxious.

How could last night's events be so coincidental, she really shouldn't have gone out.

There seemed to be footsteps outside, as well as the sound of her familiar wheels rolling on the ground, it should be Zhou Shuxuan. Miaoli stood up and looked out expectantly, and heard the sound of the lock clattering, the door was divided left and right, and Zhou Shuxuan really came.

Miao Li couldn't wait to look him up and down, seeing that he was all right, the injury he suffered last night didn't seem to be very serious, and Miao Li was relieved.

I figured out my thoughts last night, and when I saw him again at this time, Miao Li was a little aggrieved, with tears in her eyes, and bowed to Zhou Shuxuan, "The slave maid greets the prince." ”

Zhou Shuxuan saw the tears flashing in her eyes, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and motioned for Wei Hai to go out, and after seeing the door closed, he asked, "What are you crying about?" ”

In her heart, he was different from before, Miaoli held back her tears and said, "The slave maid wants to cry when she sees that the prince is well." ”

Fortunately, he didn't have anything to do, otherwise she would really regret dying, why should she run around outside at night.

Zhou Shuxuan hung his head, his voice couldn't hear joy and anger, and he asked without half a fluctuation: "Do you feel that the action failed, do you want to cry with regret?" ”

Did he suspect that she was an assassin as well?

Miao Li knelt in front of him with a grunt, put away her tears, and desperately wanted to prove her innocence, "Does the prince also suspect that the slave is an assassin?" The slave is really not an assassin. ”

Zhou Shuxuan didn't speak, and quietly listened to her distinguish for herself.

Miaoli said truthfully: "The slave heard footsteps in the yard last night, so she chased them out. Then he heard the sound of the prince being assassinated, and ran back to Shende Hall, what the slave said was true, and there was no half a false word. ”

After hearing what she said, Zhou Shuxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you heard the sound of footsteps, not the joint code you heard?" ”

Still don't believe her.

Miao Li couldn't argue, and found a reason to prove herself, "The slave doesn't know martial arts, what do you use to kill the prince." Even if the slave and maid are so stupid, the person who ordered the slave and the maid to come will not be so stupid. ”

Zhou Shuxuan said with a serious expression: "You don't need to use a sword to kill someone, you can kill people with poison, and you can kill people with medicine." The beauty trick is the best poison. ”

Looking at her face now, I really feel that there is poison on it, although it is not fatal, but it is addictive.

Miao Li looked at him in shock, unable to believe that these words came out of his mouth. The true feelings for her before seem to be fake, and I don't even have the most basic trust in her.

The man is really unreliable, she is too stupid and has been fooled again and again.

Miaoli stretched her neck and said without humility or arrogance: "The slave and maid have already said what they should say, and the prince believes it or not, the slave and maid have nothing else to say." It's death or life, but listen to the prince's fall. ”

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at her lightly, this is her. She just now made him feel weird, she didn't look like herself. Now he is the one who is not afraid of death.

Miao Li felt him raise his hand, thinking that he was going to hit someone, and he was about to take a slap from him, so that they would break off and never let her believe what the man said.

Zhou Shuxuan reached out to the top of her head, picked off the weeds on her head, and said softly, "I believe in you." ”

Miao Li raised her head in disbelief, still unable to believe her ears, did she hear it wrong just now? His attitude before and after seems to be different.

"Lord ......"

Zhou Shuxuan chuckled, his tone was still very gentle, as if he was making fun of her, and said: "You are so strange, you don't believe you, you want to die or live." I said I believed you, but you didn't seem to believe what I said. ”

Miao Li felt that he was not quite right today, the previous smile, whether it was a fake smile or a sarcastic person, the smile was sincere. But his smile today seems to be fake, the kind of smile that floats and doesn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

Miao Li kowtowed in a daze and said, "The slave just can't believe such good news, thank you for your trust." ”

"You're welcome. I have one more thing to ask you, you were once sold to the former prince Zhan Shi, and you want to avenge your family, isn't it much faster than me? ”

Although Miao Li didn't know why he wanted to mention something so far ago, she still chose a very appropriate answer, "It's not up to the slave to stay or not. ”

Zhou Shuxuan looked at her quietly, he didn't believe that she had no way to decide whether she would go or stay.

Miao Li could see that the answer didn't seem to make him agree, and she had to say the past she didn't want to face, "The son of Prince Zhan Shi has taken a fancy to the slave maid, and he has to be a maid in the room." The slave maid beat him in a hurry, and then he gave him away. ”

It's a fierce girl.

Zhou Shuxuan asked again: "When you go to this palace, what you do is to be a girl." Why didn't I do anything to this king, and how am I different from him? ”

Miao Li recalled that disgusting face, endured the nausea in her stomach and said: "The son of Prince Zhan Shi is an extremely obscene person, just greedy for beauty. When he likes it, he holds it as a treasure in his hand, and when he doesn't like it, he abuses and scolds him. Many maids in Zhan Shi's mansion died at his hands. But the prince was upright, and the slave didn't want to be sent back and forth at that time, so he was willing to stay in the palace. ”

Thinking back to the time when he was at his most grumpy, he didn't do anything to her, but those whips made her flesh and blood blur.

"I beat you the same time, what do you say?"

"To be honest, if the prince had been like that. Either the slave and maid die, or the prince dies. ”

This courage, Zhou Shuxuan is not convinced. She really dares to say anything, and doesn't take her life seriously. Zhou Shuxuan said with a smile: "You really came to kill me." ”

Why did he change his attitude again, Miao Li looked at him helplessly, "The slave has already explained, the slave is really not an assassin, doesn't the prince believe it?" ”

"Yes, I just believed it. Explain to me what this is. ”

Zhou Shuxuan threw the purse in his hand to the ground, his eyes were always on Miaoli, not missing any expression on her face.

There was nothing else besides the shock, there was no weakness of heart as he imagined, fortunately there was none.

Miao Li was surprised for a moment, then picked up the purse and said, "This is what the Xia family asked the slave maid to return to the former prince that day, she gave it to the slave maid before committing suicide, and wanted the slave maid to bury this purse next to the former prince's grave." ”

Almost, this is something Xia can do.

Zhou Shuxuan sighed and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

"The prince may be angry if he finds out, and it is possible that he will not help the Xia family, so the slave and the maid did not tell the prince."

Zhou Shuxuan was angry and wanted to laugh, and asked, "Why do you think I'm angry?" ”

"Because of the relationship between the Xia family and the former prince."

Zhou Shuxuan raised his voice and asked, "Do you think that deceiving me won't make me angry?" ”

"The slave knows it's wrong."

Zhou Shuxuan's pent-up anger for half a day all exploded, and he asked her loudly: "Leave such a thing with yourself and let others use it as a handle to harm you, do you have any brains?!" ”

Xu Meitang put this thing in front of him, if he hadn't trusted her, she would have been broken into thousands of pieces.

Miao Li was a little aggrieved when she was yelled at, and bowed her head and said, "The slave knows that she is wrong." ”

"What's the use of knowing it's wrong? Knowing what happened wrong can change it? ”

"The slave must change his life and never make the same mistake again."

said these clichés to perfunctory him, Zhou Shuxuan rubbed his temples and said: "Then you can reflect here, when you can reflect well, when you will tell me again." ”

After that, Zhou Shuxuan called Wei Hai in and left without leaving any words.

"The slave and maid send the prince."

Miao Li sat on her knees, not knowing what to do next. Obviously, everything was made clear, and Zhou Shuxuan didn't say that he didn't believe her, why did he still lock her up here? But one day, if there was something wrong with it, she vaguely felt that things didn't seem to be simple.

Zhou Shuxuan's mood calmed down a little when he came out of the firewood room, it was really dangerous just now, and he almost let her out. He couldn't do that, he hadn't decided whether he wanted to keep her or not.

He could clearly feel that he had a heartfelt trust in Miaoli, believing every word she said. Fortunately, everything she said was true, what if one day, what if what she said was a lie, and then he would not be able to tell the difference?

It can't be like this, it's too dangerous to keep such a person with you anyway.

Are you going to let her go? The same reluctance.

For the first time in twenty years, he moved seriously, and no matter how rational he was, he couldn't let go easily. Now in my mood, how can I finish talking about the two words.

He was so confused that he wanted to get some experience from others, so Zhou Shuxuan asked: "Wei Hai, do you have a favorite girl?" ”

"Minions...... There are no minions now, there used to be one. She is my countryman, and we fled the wilderness together. On the way, both of them starved to death, and later, in order to keep the slave alive, she told the slave that she had sold herself to a large family as a maid, and gave all the money from the sale to the slave. Later, the slave learned that she had sold herself to a brothel, but unfortunately it was too late, and the slave had no money to ransom her at that time. ”

"Now that you are the chief steward of the palace, you didn't think about going over to redeem her?"

Wei Hai said very melancholy: "The slave has been there, but it's too late, and she was already dead when the slave went." It is said that after he died, he was thrown into a mass grave, and the minions did not even see the corpse. I just didn't understand for a moment that if the slave knew that she was selling herself to a brothel, the slave would rather starve to death than let her do that. Later, the slave swore not to marry for life to repay her kindness back then. ”

Zhou Shuxuan patted Wei Hai comfortingly, and thought of himself now, Wei Hai didn't understand it for a while, so he didn't want to understand it at this time.
