The main hall was large and empty, An Xuan's words seemed to be echoed, but his indifferent face was still not very emotional.
Le Zhi looked at Huo Du, trying to find out how he would react—
It seems that An Xuan is his closest bodyguard, will he allow it
I saw Huo Du chuckle and raised his eyes, but he didn't look surprised. He didn't ask the reason, he just said, "Yes. Are the rules clear?"
Hearing this, An Xuan's expression loosened, as if he was relieved. After nodding his head and saying yes, he turned around and walked away without thanking him.
Huo Du glanced sideways at Le Zhi, who was at a loss, to see the doubts on her face.
It's not surprising that she would wonder.
He and the people below him have their own set of rules. He does not like to beg, nor does he like others to beg him.
It is useless to ask for this word.
He likes exchange of equal value, and if he wants to get something from him, he will exchange it for something of equal value.
You can only get what you want by paying the price.
It's fair.
But... Huo Du slightly curled his lips and looked at the person beside him—
Today, the five kingdoms are separated, and the three major tribes are attached to the state of Qi. Everyone knows that the country of Lebanon is governed by benevolence and kindness, and even ordinary people of the country of Lebanon are friendly and different from those of other countries.
And now, the Li kingdom is destroyed.
Just now, he waited for a long time, wanting to wait for the former Princess of Li Kingdom to plead for those palace maids. But I don't know if it was the pain of subjugation that wiped out her kindness, or she was not a kind person at all, or she wanted to endure the humiliation and do something for Huo Xu...
After all, he didn't wait for her to speak.
It's a pity, if she speaks, he will let her replace the palace maids alone.
Look, he's planning to do a loss-making business.
Ah.
Plus last night, this is the third time.
His crown princess is really lucky.
Xu Shi sat on Huo Du's lap for too long, and Xue Tuan jumped down with a meow and ran outside the hall to play.
Perhaps it was the rumor that Mammy Li collided with the Crown Princess. At this time, the dining officer trembled and entered the hall with the recipe book, "Xiaguan, please see His Royal Highness and Concubine, this is the recipe for today's lunch, if you need it. To add food, please also express your Highness."
Huo Du waved his hand casually, "Show it to the Crown Princess."
Lezhi took the meal note in response, and his eyes widened as soon as he saw it—
Too exaggerated, this lunch seems to be a grand banquet.
It seems that the people below are quite frightened.
"The food matches so well." Le Zhi bowed slightly, and showed Huo Du the recipe, "Your Highness, take a look, do you have anything else to add?"
"The princess is satisfied."
The dining officer put down the boulder in his heart and wanted to retire and leave.
"Wait." Huo Du said again: "Prepare a few more fish meals."
Le Zhi leaned back softly on the mahogany chair, and Huo Du had been away for a while. Her palms and back were still sweating coldly, and the feeling of fear enveloped her whole body.
She has self-knowledge, and what Huo Du did just now was definitely not to protect her or give her power.
So what does he mean
She couldn't understand.
Huo Xu had told her before that Huo Du was a wolf.
No, I'm afraid it's more than that. As soon as he sits there, it can bring a suffocating sense of oppression...
"master!"
Le Zhi returned to his senses, and Li Yao looked at her with a worried face, "What happened? The slaves just saw the guards escorting Li Ma and the others..."
"Can you see where they were taken?"
Li Yao shook his head, "The guards' faces were as cold as frost, and the slaves didn't dare to look at them, let alone keep up."
After a pause, she said again, "Why don't the servants go and find out?"
"No." Le Zhi commanded in a deep voice, "You shouldn't know about this, and you shouldn't mention it outside, do you know?"
In this huge East Palace, who can play tricks under Huo Du's nose
Mammy Li just made a few words of nonsense, and he knew it right away. How dare she act rashly
After Li Yao nodded in agreement, he took out the cake wrapped in his sleeve, looked at Le Zhi's haggard face, and asked softly, "Then do you still use this cake, Master?"
"use!"
The chill was overwhelming, and Le Zhi ordered Li Yao to make a pot of hot tea and eat it with cakes.
The entrance of the pastry is rough and the taste is not good, and I still ate a few mouthfuls of cola sticks. But thinking of a hearty lunch, she didn't dare to be completely full.
The hot tea entered her stomach, and her body gradually warmed up. The heat wafting from the tea cup brushed over her eyes, making her eyes a little blurry—
"Zhizhi...live well, forget all this, don't...don't take revenge."
This was the last word Father Huang Shu said to her.
She could only promise half of it.
She will live well.
From now on, she will not let herself be hungry, cold or sick, she will work hard to live.
But-
The hatred of subjugation will never be forgotten.
The enmity of destroying the country is never-ending.
When he walked out of the main hall wrapped in a snow-white cotton cloak, snowflakes began to float outside.
His underwear was soaked by the cold sweat on his back. At this time, the cold wind was blowing, and Le Zhi couldn't help shivering, and the pace of walking towards the dormitory also accelerated.
But before taking a few steps, a thin figure appeared to stop her. After she stopped, the palace maid knelt down in front of her and kowtowed, "My servant, thank the Crown Princess for saving her life!"
A life-saving grace
Le Zhi frowned, "Who are you?"
The palace maid raised her head slightly, and saw her eyes were clear and bright, her eyes were red, and her face was pale, but it was not ugly to be born with a beautiful appearance.
Le Zhi felt a little familiar.
"The slave is Jing Xin."
It turned out to be her, the maid who specially went to see Xue Pazi on the bed of the bedchamber
She didn't know that it was An Xuan who protected her...
"Get up first." Le Zhi looked at the cold ground and said, "Who told you that I saved you?"
"The guards took us halfway, and released the slaves, saying that the Crown Princess asked for mercy for me." Before Jing Xin got up, he kowtowed to Lezhi again, and choked: "The slaves are subject to Li Ma. It is an unforgivable sin for you to persecute your Highness and the Crown Princess. I would like to thank the Crown Princess for your kindness.”
It seems that An Xuan is deliberately hiding from her.
"Get up." Le Zhi asked Li Yao Jiang to help him up, and asked, "Where are you on duty now?"
"Back to the Crown Princess, the slave servant is on duty in the pantry."
Lezhi nodded, "Okay, let's go back. It's cold outside recently, so wear more clothes."
Jing Xin nodded and gave another big gift before turning around and leaving.
The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and snow fell on Lezhi's black hair and eyelashes. She hurriedly walked to the bedroom.
After stepping into the bedroom and looking around, Le Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Huo Du was not in the bedroom.
Li Yao helped her change the wet clothes, and gave her a pink palace dress. After she changed, she wrapped her a fluffy snow-white cloak.
The chill gradually subsided.
Not long after, a palace servant entered the palace and invited her to the dining room for lunch.
Unlike breakfast, there is now a table full of delicacies. Xu Shi was not used to having people around when he was eating, and the servants and servants all retreated outside the hall to wait for orders.
She and Huo Du were the only two left in the dining room.
Le Zhi ate slowly, sip by sip, looking serious.
The person beside him suddenly put down the silver chopstick, "Lezhi."
Hearing him speak, Le Zhi hurriedly put down the silver chopstick and looked up at him, "Your Highness, please speak."
Huo Du chuckled, "Are you not fond of talking at all or are you too afraid of me?"
