"Fortunately no one saw it, it really scared me to death!"

She hurriedly grabbed the golden hairpin on the ground and stuffed it into her sleeves in a panic. This made her heart that had fallen into the ice cellar finally be recovered.

"Hey... I can never change my carelessness..."

She shrank out of the palace eaves, but the uneasy feeling in her heart still failed to calm her down.

Not long after she walked away from the dense jungle on the slope of the corridor, the lush flowers on the pavilion and waterside pavilion next to her began to sway, and a sly smiling face emerged from the flowers.

She collapsed from the flowers and was standing at the bifurcation of the winding corridor, smiling secretly. The kind and gentle look on her face in the past was gone.

"Hmph..."

Yingxu, who had already walked away, suddenly thought of the conversation he just heard in Yinghuang Hall.

"Hey... Actually! Behind this scenery is either dirty or vicissitudes of life..."

The more Yingxu thought about it, the more she felt that she had heard these words somewhere before. The more she thought about it, the more she slowed down, and an idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

"That's right! I seem to have heard that sentence just now in Cuixin Pavilion. It was said by two palace ladies!"

Thinking of this, she suddenly turned around and headed back the way she came.

"I seem to remember that the two maids seemed to suddenly appear and then disappear. I still remember that I was looking for their footprints! Am I dreaming?"

When she returned to the corridor beside Yinghuang Hall in three steps and two steps at a time, she heard someone talking again.

"This is your reward. You don't have to go back and report to Princess Lin. I will explain it myself!"

"yes!"

When she heard the sound, she was stunned. She took a few steps back and hid in the dense flowers behind the corridor of Gong Lane. Through the gaps in the flowers, she could vaguely see the two people she had seen in Cuixin Pavilion before.

Gong'e.

"Huh? Haven't we met these two people in Cuixin Pavilion before? How come they are here?"

She saw the two familiar figures from behind again, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"These two back figures are clearly the two palace maids who disappeared suddenly when we met in Cuixin Pavilion! Oh! Who are they? Why do they appear in the palace of the Crown Princess? Could it be the work of the Crown Princess?"

She stretched out her fist and knocked hard on her head twice, only regretting that she woke up too late.

The night was dark, and the sound of insects chirped intermittently.

Yao Xianxiu turned over, her tender arms cradling her cheeks, and with the moonlight shining in through the window, her eyes shone with a quiet and clear light.

Looking carefully at the sleeping King Lin in front of her, her thoughts couldn't help but be drawn back to the pain of the past, and the conversation that once made her heartbroken rang in her ears...

"You have never thought of me at all in your heart. How can you care about your child's life and death?"

King Lin was scratching his scalp, the expression on his face was distorted by crying.

"I shouldn't have had that incident with you in Yixia Palace. In fact, I didn't want it to happen! I know I'm guilty because I've been blaming myself for what happened between you and me. Everything was over from the beginning.

Not what I want to see!"

At that time, what King Lin said was like a heavy pinch of salt on her injured heart. Even now, thinking of him still makes her heart tremble.

"It turns out that from beginning to end, I have never had a place in your heart."

The more she talked, the more annoyed she became, and just when she was about to burst into anger, Ziyou's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Princess, your food and wine have been prepared. Can we serve it to you now?"

Ziyou's crisp voice softened the solid atmosphere in the room, which temporarily interrupted Yao Xianxiu's anger at that time.

“Let’s serve!”

She ordered coldly.

"yes!"

Then one plate after another of wine and food was brought into the room, and then laid out one by one on the table.

"Princess, these are the dishes for the time being. If they are not enough, I will go to the dining room to cook. How about asking Laifu to prepare some more?"

After Ziyou finished serving the dishes, she stood aside and bowed to Yao Xianxiu to report.

"Yeah! Okay!"

Just as Ziyou was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped by Yao Xianxiu again.

"Hey... please give me a glass of water!"

Hearing this, she stopped again, turned around, walked to the tea table aside, and poured two cups of tea.

"Here you go!"

When she handed one of the cups of tea to Yao Xianxiu, she secretly stuffed a note under the cup.

"Well………………"

Seeing Yao Xianxiu stunned, Ziyou winked at her.

"Oh... Okay! You should retreat first! Just leave two people to guard the door."

She pretended to drink tea, but in fact she just touched her lips gently to the edge of the tea cup.

"Eh? What's wrong with you?"

King Lin put down his tea cup and was momentarily stunned when he saw Yao Xianxiu's face turning red and white.

"Oh...it's nothing! I suddenly remembered that it is not suitable to eat food and drinks with mixed flavors during the confinement period!"

She thought about it and suddenly put down the teacup in her hand and smiled at King Lin.

Her smile made the atmosphere in the room suddenly soften, and King Lin also relaxed his tense mood.

"It's rare to see you smile, it's so rare!"

Staring at the food and wine on the table in front of her, Yao Xianxiu suddenly became distracted.

"It seems that I can no longer show my temper to others. My situation is already so bad. If I don't think of a solution carefully, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to turn around! Why did I enter the palace before others but do better than others?

So much difference? Is it really just a matter of fate?"

The more she thought about it, the more miserable she became, and she couldn't help but sniff secretly.

“Eh?…………you…………what’s wrong with you?”

King Lin, who was putting vegetables into his bowl, saw tears in her eyes and stopped his chopsticks to look at her in confusion.

"It's nothing! It's just that the more I think about it, the more I feel sad! Our child died tragically in vain, and the culprit is still at ease. How can I not feel sad?"

When she said this, her tears rolled down like beans into the tea cup in front of her.

"Well……………………"

Seeing how sad she was, King Lin also put down his chopsticks and lost his appetite.

"But... things are already like this, and we can't let time flow backwards. Otherwise, we will avoid a lot of regrets!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and scratched his head again. The more he scratched, the more distressed he became, and the more he scratched, the more worried he became.

"I really can't continue to be stupid anymore. I have to make what I say work, instead of making people feel that I am a dispensable existence!"

Yao Xianxiu thought of this and sighed again.

"It seems that I don't have the means and weight to be a human being. Even if my own flesh and blood dies tragically, the child's father can find a bunch of reasons to turn a blind eye. I can't be as stupid as before!"
