Xiao Si laughed gurglingly, looking very proud.
Even Aunt Sujin, who has always been dignified and steady, would scream when she saw a dead mouse, and the third princess would be frightened to death.
Even if you are not scared to death, it is still good to be scared half to death.
"Damn boy, are you so scary!"
Sujin came back to her senses and patted her chest. Her expression was still uncertain. She couldn't help but look back and glanced behind her.
In the long palace passage, the sunlight was blocked by the palace wall, making it appear dark and narrow, without anyone or anything.
"Auntie, are you cold? Why do you look so ugly, and why are your hands so cold?"
Xiaosi glanced at Sujin and asked with concern.
"You brat, it's not all your fault!"
Sujin took a breath, turned her head, her face became calmer, and gave Xiaosi a hard look.
"It's not a good place for you to go, but you have come to the cold palace to catch mice. Is that a place where you can enter casually? Be careful, I will tell the Queen Mother to spank you hard!" She was frightened and turned around frequently.
Xiaosi stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "The rats in the cold palace are fat and big. If I hadn't come here, how could I have caught such a fat rat? Besides, aunt, are you willing to let the Queen Mother spank me? Now you But my dear aunt, this slap on my butt hurts your heart."
He thought in his heart that women are women, but when he saw two dead mice, he turned pale with fear. It seemed that his plan would definitely succeed.
"Stop being so glib, Xiaosi, look back and see if there's... is there anyone following you?"
Sujin's fingers holding Xiao Si's wrist were as cold as ice, so hard that they trembled slightly.
Xiao Si looked back and said in surprise: "There is nothing behind me. Auntie, are you worried about someone chasing you out of the cold palace? No, I just stayed in there for a while and didn't see anyone. The rats were running around. Besides, I didn’t steal anything or do anything bad. I just caught two rats. Even if the emperor knew about it, he wouldn’t punish me.”
Sujin couldn't help but look back again, her voice trembling slightly: "Really... there is really nothing?"
"There's really no one!" Xiaosi said carelessly, not even noticing that Sujin asked about "things" but she answered "people".
"Since Auntie doesn't like it here, let's go far away and catch mice elsewhere. Alas, it's a pity that the mice in other places must not be so big or fat." He sighed regretfully.
Su Jin stopped talking, pursed her lips tightly, grabbed Xiao Si's wrist hard without letting go, and moved faster and faster, almost trotting behind her.
Xiao Si ran after him until he was out of breath.
"Auntie, why are you leaving so quickly? Ah, did you also know that the emperor sent me out of the palace? It just so happens that Xiaosi also wants to find you, auntie."
At this time, the two of them had walked out of the long, narrow palace wall, and were already far away from the cold palace. When they looked back, they could no longer see the dilapidated walled courtyard.
The sun shone warmly from above, shining on the heads, bodies and faces of the two people, dragging out a dark shadow behind them.
From time to time, eunuchs, maids, and patrolling guards passed by. When they saw the two of them, they all smiled and greeted them respectfully.
"Aunt Sujin, my little fourth father-in-law."
