It was just over two hours when Su Shixia came out of Zhaoyun Palace's dormitory again.

During this period, the imperial concubine sent someone here.

The man looked inside through the window and saw Su Shixia kneeling in front of Concubine Shu's portrait to worship without any suspicious behavior and did not dare to disturb him. After a while, he backed away, leaving only

Two maids stood guard at the door of the dormitory.

As soon as Su Shixia opened the door and came out, the two maids immediately came to greet her.

"Princess, fortunately you came out in time. If it had been any later, we would have had to knock on the door and call you out."

One of the maids said: "The banquet is about to start. The imperial concubine is waiting for you to go to the banquet. Please pack up quickly and don't waste time."

While the maid was talking to Su Shixia, another maid next to her had been secretly sizing up Su Shixia, as if trying to see something strange about her.

But after looking at her for a long time, she couldn't see any difference between Su Shixia and before, except that her face was a little pale and she looked slightly tired.

Su Shixia knew that these two maids were spies planted by the imperial concubine, so she was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. She just nodded briefly to indicate that she understood, and then strode towards the room where little Qin Zhan was recovering.

Before Su Shixia came back, Xiao Qin Zhan and Qian Duoduo had been following Su Shi's instructions and stayed in the room without even opening the door.

The atmosphere in the room was very solemn, and the two of them were not even in the mood to say anything.

It wasn't until they heard the voice of the palace maid outside that they cheered up again.

When Su Shixia opened the door and came in, Qian Duoduo's face immediately broke out into a smile, and Xiao Qin Zhan jumped directly into Su Shixia's arms and hugged her tightly.

"Mother! You are finally back!"

His eyes carefully scanned Su Shixia's body, and after confirming that Su Shixia was not injured, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face softened slightly.

The phrase "Is nothing wrong?" has already reached his lips.

But little Qin Zhan remembered that Su Shixia had said before that he could not say unlucky words, so he could only swallow those words silently, looked up at Su Shixia, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, did things go well?

?”

"good."

Su Shixia's response was very vague, and she didn't give little Qin Zhan a chance to ask further questions. She just smiled and rubbed his little head: "These are not things that a child like you should worry about. Come on, go ahead and let me know."

The maids outside are preparing hot water."

Su Shixia turned around and told Qian Duoduo, "Let's seize the time to freshen up briefly and then go to the imperial concubine's place."

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo immediately went out to find the two maids.

There were only two people left in the room, Su Shixia and Xiao Qinzhan. Su Shixia took Xiao Qinzhan's hand and walked to the table to sit down. He poured himself a cup of tea, regardless of whether it was hot or cold, and drank it in one go.

Go down, then look at Xiao Qin Zhan and ask: "Has your master been here before?"

"not yet……"

Xiao Qin Zhan just shook his head.

I saw a tall figure slowly walking into the room.

When he saw who was coming clearly, his eyes lit up and he shouted crisply, "Master!"

As he spoke, he took Su Shixia's hand and motioned her to look back, "Mother, you are so smart with your words! As soon as you mentioned master, others were already here!"

After Mr. Mo entered the room, his eyes fell on Su Shixia.

When he walked to her side, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What happened just now? Why is your breath so weak all of a sudden?"

After all, Xiao Qin Zhan is still young and only knows how to look at the surface.

But Mr. Mo himself has deep inner strength. As soon as he got close to Su Shixia, he immediately felt that Su Shixia seemed to have been drained of energy. At this moment, he was completely strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"It's not just to deal with that crap Ye Li made."

Su Shixia got angry when she talked about this, and her tone was somewhat temperamental.

"His hiding place is deep enough. If I hadn't secretly left a mark at the base of the courtyard wall when I passed by the courtyard this morning, I might not have been able to catch him this time."

Mr. Mo and Xiao Qin Zhan both looked puzzled and wanted to ask further questions.

Su Shixia took a breath, drank another cup of tea, and then raised her hand to wave to them.

"I've said it before, you don't understand the Feng Shui mystical arts that I know, and I would waste a lot of time explaining it to you. I don't have that time now."

She put the empty cup in her hand on the table, raised her head and looked at Mr. Mo and said, "Ye Li really made a big deal this time. He has been planning for a long time, and I don't have much time to deal with it.

"

Su Shixia said: "I can't guarantee you now that if he really gets mad and wants to fight to the death, I can take action to control him."

"But don't worry."

Su Shixia said in a very firm tone: "I have at least controlled two of his positions. If things really develop to an irreversible state... I will try my best to minimize the power of his backhand."

While Mr. Mo nodded in agreement, he couldn't help but ask again, "You...are you like this because of those two positions?"

"What if?"

Su Shixia snorted: "I won't say how much effort I expended. Just kneeling for two hours is enough to drain me."

"But fortunately, at least I have gained something. If I had spent so much time and suffered so much and finally accomplished nothing, I would be even more sad."

When Su Shixia said this, her brows and eyes regained some excitement.

Mr. Mo saw that although her breath was weak, she was still energetic, and the frown that had been frowning before relaxed a little.

At this moment, Qian Duoduo also led the two maids to bring in hot water.

When the two palace ladies came in, Mr. Mo resumed his guard posture and stood beside Xiao Qin Zhan.

The two maids secretly looked at Mr. Mo, but didn't see anything strange, so they quickly looked away.

After they had put their toiletries in place, Qian Duoduo immediately asked them to leave and closed the door in front of them.

While Su Shixia took Xiao Qin Zhan to the basin to wash himself, he asked Mr. Mo casually, "What are your plans soon?"

"Zhan'er and I are going to the imperial concubine's place, and we will go to the front hall for a banquet with the imperial concubine."

Su Shixia asked: "What about you?"

"Are you going with us as a guard, or... do you have any other arrangements?"

"I will escort you to the imperial concubine."

Mr. Mo said: "After that... I will act on my own, but don't worry, I will also go to the palace banquet, and we will see each other then."

"Today's dinner party is all about the royal family."

Su Shixia turned around and glanced at him meaningfully, "Are you... finally ready to reveal your identity?"
