Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Silly Prince
Shangguan Xi was still holding the hairpin tightly in her hand, and her uneasy heart was about to pull up once at the slightest movement, and sometimes the slightest slackness could lead to her entire life.
The few searching forbidden soldiers looked around for a while, but they didn't find anything unusual. Thinking about it, although this Xuanwang Mansion is located in a remote location, after all, it is at the border of the palace, and it is difficult to explain if something goes wrong.
There is also this Xuanwang Li Mu, who is obviously a fool, but the emperor takes good care of him, so that he can be kept in this palace for many years without worrying about food and clothing. So even if everyone laughed at him and teased him in private, he always did enough work on the bright side, not to mention how others bullied him, he only thought that others were playing with him.
And everyone knows that there is no future in this mansion, and naturally few people are willing to serve by his side, and the few who stay are all treacherous villains who flatter on the surface and secretly enrich their own pockets to get some money.
As for the leader of the forbidden army, it seems that he is so attentive and respectful to him, and he just wants to keep his position and not accept his words, and now that the surrounding security has been determined, he will take the rest of the people to prepare to leave.
"Lord Wang, the food has been ordered to be made in the kitchen, and it will be delivered in a while. This will be a few lowly and night guards, so I won't disturb the prince's Yaxing who admires the moon!"
Li Mu didn't pay attention to them, he still held his head and looked up at the sky, the dark clouds in the sky were about to go away, and the bright moonlight poured down like a waterfall.
Even if he didn't respond, the leader walked out of the garden with his men. As soon as they walked out, they met a guy who had come from the dining room with a food box, and the guy nodded and greeted them as soon as he saw them.
After watching the forbidden soldiers walk away, he walked in from outside with a yawn, threw the food box on the table, then took out the plate and handed it to Li Mu, and said coldly: "Hurry up and eat, don't let people sleep in the middle of the night!"
As soon as Li Mu saw the chicken leg, his originally gloomy face instantly smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared on his slightly round little face, which looked very cute.
But the next second he took a bite of the chicken leg, he suddenly frowned, and spit out the chicken leg that had been bitten into his mouth without chewing, and also fell the chicken leg in his hand to the ground and stepped on it three times.
"Phew, it's cold, you can't eat it!"
The guy's temper came up as soon as he heard it, but he couldn't do anything to Li Mu, he could only hold his breath and put the plate on the table.
"Some of them are good to eat, and I am picky, I want me to burn the fire again in the middle of the night to bring you hot food, dream about it!"
After he finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned his head, and went back to his room to rest.
And Shangguan Xi, who was hiding behind the rockery and was about to take the opportunity to slip away, somehow saw Li Mu looking at the pitiful appearance on the ground, and he just couldn't leave with the heart. Now I don't know which way to go out, and with the way I look wet now, I may also arouse Caihuan's suspicion when I go back.
She could only make up her mind to put the hairpin away and walk up to him.
Li Mu, who originally lowered his head, saw a pair of shoes slowly raise his head, his immature little face was full of crystal clear tears, this aggrieved look, anyone who saw it would feel distressed!
Shangguan Xi looked at him like that, couldn't help but sigh, and asked, "Where is the kitchen?"
Li Mu subconsciously sniffed, tried to suppress his sobs, and said softly, "Just ...... It's right in the front yard. ”
It was late at night, and the cooks and men in the side room were sleeping soundly.
Shangguan Xi was very skillful in the kitchen, adding hay to the stove, spreading a layer of small branches, and then stacking firewood on it. She picked up the fire and blew it, and the spark burned more and more in the stove.
She found some leftover chicken thighs and steamed buns from the day and heated them in the pot, while she just took advantage of the temperature of the fire to dry the clothes on her body. Li Mu looked at her blankly, and after a long time, he suddenly said faintly: "Are you here to be friends with me?"
Shangguan Xi didn't intend to answer, he just silently dried his clothes there, he waited for a long time and saw no response, and then said to himself: "No one in the palace wants to play with me, except for the emperor's brother, they don't want to be friends with me, but some people say that I will definitely have friends in the future." They said, "My friend either fell out of the sky, or came out of the earth, or maybe he jumped out of a rock, and you climbed out of the water, and I think you are like what they say!"
Shangguan Xi suddenly lowered his head and laughed to himself, the smile seemed to be self-deprecating, and it seemed to sneer at his own life experience.
In the Shangguan Mansion, she is an invisible person who is not even qualified to have relatives, an existence that cannot even be known to relatives, let alone have friends. In the past, she could only have two things in her life, her sister, and the target to kill.
Now there are people who are willing to be friends with her, but they are fools.
An invisible man, a stupid prince, are really two special existences!
