Chapter 38: The trouble should end it

Su Xier helped Mother Liu back to the house, and then walked to the southwestern wooden house.

Just a few steps forward, I heard Hong Li calling her from behind. Turning around, she saw Hong Li holding two white flour buns in her hand.

"You just drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, worked at night, and fainted halfway through." Hong Li said that he would stuff the steamed bun into her hand.

Su Xier only took one, "I'll just eat one."

"What did you say to Grandma Liu, she dared to disobey King Hao's will and let you take her back to the house." Hongli was puzzled. She originally followed Su Xi'er, but saw Su Xi'er and Liu Xi'er. Mother was talking, but she didn't step forward.

"If it doesn't matter, you go back to rest early, and you will have to get up and work early tomorrow." Su Xier finished speaking, raising her foot and walking quickly to the southwest.

Hongli did not keep up, no matter what he said, it is always beneficial to future development.

When Su Xi'er got to the southwest, the buns in her hand had already been eaten. She hung the bucket of well water first, and walked to the wooden house after washing her hands.

There are not many chamber pots tonight. Strangely, when I first came to Ye Ting, I washed a lot of chamber pots every day. Why is it getting less and less these days

When moving all the chamber pots to the bamboo board, she counted them, and there were twenty in total. It only takes one hour to clean it all.

Twenty chamber pots are much lighter than the seventy or eighty before.

Before long, Su Xier dragged the bamboo board to the well.

I hung a few buckets of water and poured it on the chamber pot. When I brushed the second one, a clear and moist voice came into my ears, which was Situ Li.

"Let me see if you are still working desperately like last night."

"The third prince was joking. The number of chamber pots in these few days is getting less and less. Even if the servants want to work hard, they can't do it."

Situ Li stepped forward, only one meter away from her, "Wang Hao has gone to investigate the Ruoyuan matter. Therefore, I did not intervene."

Su Xier faintly replied, "She was called to work by Grandpa Zhang of the House of Internal Affairs, and nothing happened." After that, she continued to wash the chamber pot.

"Who said nothing happened?" Situ Li asked suddenly.

Su Xi'er was shocked by this sentence, and she immediately raised her head, "The Internal Affairs Office specially dispatches slaves from various palaces. If Yuan is over there, how could something go wrong?"

"It was really okay before, it just happened. King Hao ordered to come down, adjust Ruoyuan to the clothing bureau, she was doing all the rough work."

If Yuan is in Yeting, chopping wood and carrying heavy things, although there is a lot of work, there will be no danger if no one targets her.

The dressing bureau is different. Dirty clothes are constantly being delivered, and sometimes I can't sleep for several days or nights. If you accidentally wash expensive clothes and you blame it, you won’t be able to shed a single head.

Su Xier murmured to herself, "It's just an ordinary palace lady, why did King Hao transfer her to the Garment Bureau. What's more..." Situ Li said the next thing for her.

"The dispatching of maids has always been under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. King Hao has reached out to trivial matters this time. Su Xi'er, why did King Hao do this, don't you know?"

Suddenly, what Pei Qianhao said today flashed into her mind. Don't believe this king? Asking this king to investigate Ruoyuan's affairs, why are you begging the third prince again? Everything you are interested in will be destroyed.

King Hao did all this against her.

While thinking about it, Situ Li's calm words continued to come.

"You must tie the bell to untie the bell. Instead of confronting him, it's better to make him not interested in you."

Su Xi'er raised her head and said a word slowly, which seemed particularly bold in the eyes of outsiders.

"The third prince, are you interested in slaves?"

Situ Li looked at her for a long time, with no expression on his face, "I don't have any interest. If you die, I feel sorry at most. I have died of someone who is in a similar situation to me."

Su Xier looked at him, and he always said that she was a fellow traveler with him. How could a lowly slave and maid be in the same situation as the third prince? The skinny camel is bigger than the horse anyway.

She thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it.

Neither of them spoke, and the silence began to spread.

It wasn't until the sound of subtle footsteps came that the silence was broken, and Situ Li jumped into the woods without saying a word.

Su Xi'er followed the sound and found that it was Mother Liu. She walked in a hurry, limping even more as she walked.

When she walked to Su Xi'er, Mother Liu whispered, "Now you follow me to Grandpa Zhang's place overnight. Here, I will order someone to come and wash."

Su Xi'er nodded, went to the woods to take a look, and then followed Mother Liu.

The two walked farther and farther, and Situ Li came out of the woods and looked at Su Xier's back. Mother Liu has always had a heavy heart and doesn't talk to anyone about her concerns. Why is it so close to Su Xier? She is really charming.

Mother Liu took Su Xier quietly to leave Ye Ting, and went to the House of Internal Affairs.

In a slightly spacious room in the backyard of the House of Internal Affairs, Su Xier saw Grandpa Zhang. His hair was gray and his eyes were deep in the sockets. The sharp expressions in his eyes occasionally made her feel that this person was not easy.

Grandpa Zhang looked at Mother Liu and said, "You go back to Yeting, and I will tell her a few words and let her go back."

Mother Liu nodded and left immediately.

Inside the room, Grandpa Zhang had been looking at Su Xi'er, before speaking for a while, "Listen to Grandma Liu, you are great?"

Su Xi'er looked at him directly, "Don't dare to be."

Grandpa Zhang directly opened the skylight and said bright words, "Mrs. Liu is the grandmother of the current emperor. She is dedicated to serving her master. You should know what she wants to do."

Su Xi'er had already guessed that the emperor was young, and the Queen Mother, the Regent, and the King Xie controlled the court. How could Mother Liu bear to watch the emperor become a puppet.

Thinking of the word puppet, Su Xier's face changed slightly. Her most beloved emperor Ning Lianchen, controlled by Yun Ruofeng, is now a puppet emperor.

Grandpa Zhang gave a light cough and continued, "You have the courage to approach King Hao, which shows that you are extraordinary. But I am not so easy to be persuaded by you like Mother Liu."

Su Xi'er smiled, "Grandpa Zhang, how can I convince you?"

"Interesting girl, Ruoyuan is transferred by King Hao to the clothing bureau, no matter what method you use. But you can only rely on yourself to transfer Ruoyuan back to Ye Ting, and protect yourself from leaving, I believe. You." Zhang Gonggong was also betting when he said this.

Like Mother Liu, he used to be favored by the emperor's biological mother, and now he is considered superior among the slaves. It's time to repay the favor.

Su Xier looked at him directly, "Okay, it's a deal. But first, I have to ask, where is the location of the coat bureau?"

"Go straight along the southwest corner of Yeting. Or walk along the northeast corner of the House of Internal Affairs."

"Okay, Grandpa Zhang, remember what you said tonight. If I do, you will be used by me without complaining."

Grandpa Zhang nodded, "I have always counted what I said. Okay, you should go back early and don't be discovered by anyone."

Su Xi'er nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Father Zhang looked at the closed door, his eyes gradually darkened. The beauty of Bei Min is like a cloud, and Su Xi'er is the only one interested in King Hao. As long as she is capable, how about being used by her
