"It's true that your good intentions are not rewarded! Just let you, a lame man, mess around on your own!"

However, Xia Ruyan, who is as cunning as a snake, could not have noticed Ying Xu at the door of the bedroom. Yun Yao seemed to be speaking plausibly, but in fact she was not listening to her words attentively, but her eyes secretly glanced at the people who had been in the bedroom.

Ying Xu was waiting at the door, not only her eyes were shining, but the corners of her lips were also curved with a sly smile.

"Huh? Who is that at the door? Why haven't you left yet?"

Her question immediately interrupted Yun Yao's words, and she followed Xia Ruyan's gaze and turned to look at the door.

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, slave... I have injured my legs and feet, so I have difficulty walking! I hope the Crown Princess will be merciful and spare this slave!"

After greeting Xu, she turned around and knelt down on the ground again. Although she looked obedient in her bow, her eyes secretly moved towards her forehead.

"In that case, then come over and sit down! You can take care of me when you are traveling with Yunyao later!"

Xia Ruyan stretched out her hand to motion for her to come over and sit down, and then continued to listen to Yun Yao's narration.

"…………So, the princess was caught off guard and rushed out of the way of all of us, and ran to the back garden alone, saying that she wanted to see people alive and dead bodies..."

Yunyao paused, apparently saying she was tired.

"So...so then there was a scene that you witnessed with your own eyes, Princess. In fact, all the maids tried their best, but the slaves had no choice but to do it!"

She paused again as she spoke, thinking she was waiting for Xia Ruyan to make a comment.

"Well! Yes, I really can't blame you for this, but in any case, it is indeed a fact that you are not serving the princess well, and you cannot escape the blame for this. If there is no punishment at all, you will inevitably be unable to accept it.

Everyone, we must not set such a precedent in this great palace, otherwise it will lead to others rushing to imitate it, which will not break the rules?"

Xia Ruyan's expression suddenly sank as she spoke, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

"Then...then may I ask how the Crown Princess will decide?"

Yunyao leaned over, kowtowed, and asked timidly.

"The imperial concubine arranged for me to come to the Imperial Palace, just to see with my own eyes whether you girls from the Hou Mansion who came in from outside the palace have human ethics and ethics. If not, let me come to train you. It turns out that you really have no rules.

, so I will punish you to go to other palaces to follow your example and serve as a warning to others!"

Yunyao and Yingxu immediately bowed and kowtowed: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for being open to the public! May the Crown Princess be safe!......"

Immediately, the corners of Yingxu's lips curled up in a slight arc, and a hint of joy instantly appeared on her brows...

Xinrou's eyes filled with tears as she spoke, and she gradually broke down in tears.

"You can't say that. We are only teenagers. We will have many opportunities in the future. Isn't it also because of the premature birth of Princess Lin that Yingxu and Yunyao took advantage of this opportunity?"

Hongxing's unconvinced defense was actually secretly blaming herself for a long time.

"How easy is it to wait for the next opportunity? It's like waiting for the Tianshan snow lotus to bloom!"

Xinrou's eyes turned red and she sniffed.

"This opportunity is already a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I don't know why the princess only transferred Yunyao and Yingxu, but what does she mean by leaving only a few of us?"

Hongxing secretly blamed herself for a while, but she couldn't tell the truth to Hongxing! Otherwise, she would be called stupid, and she would not be the one being complained about, and she would not get any benefits.

"Maybe this is luck! I don't know when the next opportunity will come! But in my opinion, opportunities always come to those who are prepared, so it's better to wait patiently and don't complain too much!"

Hongxing said and turned around to leave. Xinrou looked at her back and murmured to herself: "If they were all as stupid as you, they wouldn't complain!"

However, Hongxing was thinking as she walked: "No wonder Yingxu shook off my hand that day. I usually see her looking silly, but I didn't expect her scheming to be quite deep. So that's what happened..."

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was unwilling to be a living dead in this ghostly imperial palace for the rest of her life.

"Hmph... It seems that who is not planning only for themselves? I still underestimate others too much!"

Tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes as she thought about it, and her aggrieved look looked a little pitiful.

"...Hongxing, wait! Your things have fallen off!"

She was troubled in her heart, and even if someone called her from behind, she didn't bother to pay attention, so she still walked forward angrily on her own.

"...Hongxing, Hongxing, your things have fallen! Don't leave!"

The people behind him hurriedly caught up, and she stopped and glanced at him angrily, saying angrily: "What the hell! It's so annoying!"

It turned out that the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of her was the guard guarding the gate of the palace. He smiled at Hongxing, spread out his hand, and a delicate hairpin shone in front of her eyes.

"Huh? This..."

Her eyes lit up, and she was about to reach out for it, but then she thought: Where do I have this hairpin? But if I don't admit it, I'm afraid that even if I work in this imperial palace for the rest of my life, it won't be worth it.

Such a hairpin!

After thinking for a while, she bit the bullet and agreed with a glance of her teeth and a stamp of her feet: "Thank you!"

As she spoke, she reached out and took the hairpin from the man's hand, then turned around and continued walking with a guilty conscience, but this time she walked faster than before, and the things she was angry about were instantly forgotten.

"…………Hongxing, don’t leave!"

From the corner of his eye, he saw the guards behind him getting closer and closer to him, so his steps changed from a quick walk to a running pace.

"Hongxing, don't go! Just wait for me!"

The guard got closer and closer, and her heart jumped into her throat.

"Why are you running so fast? Why?"

But how could she, a little girl, outrun a grown man? Soon she was blocked by someone chasing after her.

"Hongxing, don't run away! I'm chasing you!"

He raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and smiled, revealing his teeth as white as jade, but his eyes were flashing with waves of crystal clear and hot light.

"What...what do you want to do?"

She was so tired that she was out of breath. She held her waist and hugged the pillar beside her, breathing heavily.

"What don't I want to do? I returned the things to their original owners, but you didn't even say a word of thanks. Isn't this too unkind of you?"

He stared at her red cheeks, a look of dismay on his face.

"Okay...Okay! Then thank you...thank you..."

She looked so tired that she couldn't even straighten up. She felt extremely nervous. Of course, only she knew whether it was because she was too tired or too nervous.

"Actually...Actually..."

The guard was already a little shy when he spoke, and his cheeks became increasingly crimson under the cold wind of ice and snow, looking at a loss like a big girl.

However, Hongxing's panting has not subsided, so she has no energy left to mock him.

"Ning... Ning Yunfei, you... please don't disgust me here! I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you..."

She tucked the hairpin in her sleeves, and her reserved expression looked a little cute, although she still pouted and looked angry.

"Haha... your tongue is so tied that you can't even speak properly!"

He suddenly looked at the sky and laughed, which shocked Hong Xing.

"Huh! You still have the nerve to laugh. When I first came to Yaohou Mansion, I was sent to this hellish place to be the living dead. What a newcomer! You can actually laugh. It would be a tragedy to die here all your life!"
