"Thank you." Su Xi'er thanked him and handed him the hairpin, then took a step back and looked at him carefully.
His skin is very white, and the whiteness is a little abnormal, and his narrow and long eyes are slightly upwards. There is no luster in them, and there is no waves. Who is this person? Suddenly appeared, and rescued her in time, and then asked her for a hairpin.
"Which palace do you belong to?" The man sat directly on the side chair, his gaze swept over the dinner table.
"The slaves are in the court."
"Yeting palace lady, why are you here?" The man spoke calmly and carelessly.
"King Hao was attacked by a maid in the woods next to Ye Ting, and the matter is being investigated. The slave is suspected, and there is another maid who came with the slave, who has been killed."
The words caused the man to chuckle, "It turns out that the dignified regent was attacked by a woman, a miracle."
"Do you know who the man in the black robe was just now?" Su Xi'er looked up at him. Just now, he and the man in the black robe were facing each other. Judging from the expressions of the two, they should know each other.
"I never knew that there was such a figure in the palace."
The man's answer disappointed Su Xi'er, and he didn't know who the man in the black robe was.
"Are you planning to stay here? Aren't you afraid of the ghost of the former queen?"
Su Xi'er smiled faintly. If she talked about ghosts, her body would have disappeared long ago. Isn't the sojourner in this body just a soul? However, judging from the appearance of this man, it must be related to the former queen. When she was still Ning Rulan, she heard that the former Queen Bei Min gave birth to a son and ranked third.
Is the man in front of him the only son of the former queen? This face is so pale, is it sick
"You are the first to stare at me like this. Why, are you not afraid?"
Su Xier shook her head, "You saved me, why should I be afraid of you?"
"Interesting." After the man said, he got up from the chair and walked around the hall at will, touching the old things with his hands from time to time.
As he walked, Su Xi'er saw a pendant around his waist with three characters written on it, with Situ on the top and three on the bottom. Situ is the surname of the royal family of Beimin, and the third means ranking third.
This man is the son of the former queen!
The young queen mother controls the harem, and the family of Peixie controls the government. According to common sense, the princes should be exiled far away. How could this man appear in the palace again
"For the sake of saving you, take a cloth and wipe the dust off here."
Su Xi'er nodded, the third prince missed her mother's queen, and she knew what it was like.
"What is your name?"
Su Xi'er took a piece of cloth in her hand and replied while wiping the dust, "The servant is called Su Xi'er."
"Su Xi'er, maidservant in the court..." He murmured, then looked at the moonlight outside the window.
The wind outside was not as strong as before, and the moonlight was bright and very quiet.
"Su Xi'er, wherever you are, as long as you are in the palace, there is only one end, death. Are you afraid?"
Faced with his sudden questioning, her eyes were dull for a moment. Is she afraid of death? She has died once. However, compared to the previous life, she cherishes this life even more.
"Just now, when you and the black-robed man looked at each other, I couldn't be wrong about the cruelty in those eyes. It's just that, this time, you will look weak again." The man continued.
"Of course the servant girl was afraid of death. At that time, she was cruel because she knew that she might not be long alive. People are always different when they are about to die." Su Xi'er lowered her head and said slowly.
"There will always be something different..." His voice became lighter and lighter, and finally his expression became distant, as if he was in a memory.
"The third prince, the slave and maid are finished."
Situ Li's expression changed, "How do you know my identity?"
Su Xier pointed to the pendant around his waist, "The words are engraved on it."
This is a pendant given to him by the emperor father, and the words on it are carved by the emperor himself. At that time, the emperor father loved him very much and the queen mother.
"The third prince, not long after you returned to the palace, King Hao specially hosted a banquet for you, why did you come here?" came a tender woman.
When Su Xi'er heard it, the voice... It was He Ying! Moreover, King Hao left just now because there was a banquet in the palace.
"Unexpectedly, the relationship between the Queen Mother and King Hao is getting better and better. King Hao hosted a banquet, and the grand palace lady in front of the Queen Mother came to inform." Situ Li said lightly, but He Ying's face changed.
"The queen mother and King Hao are brothers and sisters. Of course, the relationship is not comparable to others. The third prince, it is better to go with the slaves and maidservants. It is not good for the king to wait in a hurry."
Situ Li waved his hand, "No hurry, this prince still has something to do with it."
After speaking, he turned around and looked at Su Xier, "You will go back to Yeting now. From now on, as long as I'm in the palace, no one will move you."
Su Xier wondered, why would he help her
"Don't thank me, you and I are just fellow travelers." As soon as the words fell, he walked out.
Seeing his leaving back, Su Xi'er was even more puzzled. What do you mean, how could he and she be fellow travelers? What is he referring to
Su Xier saw him say something to He Ying, and then He Ying looked at her, her eyes full of meaning, and finally, the two left.
Can she return to Ye Court now? Can the power of the three princes be compared with that of King Hao
"The maid from Yeting, the matter has been investigated, you can go." The maid who had come to deliver dinner appeared at the door and said loudly to her.
Su Xier didn't think much about the third prince and King Hao, and went out directly.
The court lady walked in front and took her all the way back to Ye Ting.
"Don't eat the dinner for you, waiting to go back to Yeting to eat your stinky steamed buns?" The maid sent her to the gate of Yeting Palace, gave her a contemptuous look, and the words were full of disdain.
"Excuse me, you sent me back to Yeting. Mother Zhao likes to entertain people the most. Why don't you follow me in?" Su Xier's eyes were smiling and her voice was gentle.
"Bah, I won't go. I'm obedient to Wu Shiwei!" Speaking of Wu Shiwei, the court lady's face was full of spring.
Su Xi'er looked at her like this, only thinking that she was too immature. In the palace, the most taboo thing is to confess the master behind the scenes. This palace lady is just a little thoughtful, with a trumpet in her mouth.
"Su Xi'er!" A few Ye Ting court ladies happened to walk by with the tub, and when they saw Su Xi'er standing at the gate of the palace, their mouths couldn't help but open wide.
She came back, but Mu Tao did not come back. Could it be that Mu Tao was the one who attacked King Hao
"A bunch of rough maids."
Everyone heard these words, and all their eyes turned to the palace lady next to Su Xier. This palace lady was wearing a blue palace dress, who was it? Actually they cursed directly. Although they are maidservants in the court, this woman in Tsing Yi is also a maid of court!
Su Xier smiled and replied, "She belongs to Shiwei Wu."
The faint explanation was to frighten several court ladies in Yeting, "Could it be that she is a young girl?"
Seeing their expressions, Su Xi'er looked more respectful than seeing He Xiangyu. Isn't this woman an ordinary court lady? Has a title like Heying
