Chapter 42 Stomachache

Shen Yuexi sat in front of the window, holding her chin in her hands and looking at the darkening sky outside.

I originally wanted to buy some things before going home, but now I have money in my arms, but I have no choice but to stay.

She appears calm and composed, but it would be a lie to say she is not nervous.

Ever since Prince Qi Xiao Beiheng detained her, she had a vague premonition that Xiao Zhuo would be in danger.

Now I have some regrets. I shouldn't have been tempted by five hundred taels of silver and let myself fall into the current predicament.

From now on, she must be careful not to lose the big for the small.

She stayed in a daze until the sky completely darkened, and then she cheered up. It was useless to just daze, she had to think about what to do next.

Xiao Zhuo must have known that something happened to her, but will he come?

Wanted notices for his arrest were posted everywhere in the county, and Xiao Zhuo also knew about it. I'm afraid he wouldn't really take such a big risk to come find her.

But she held on to a glimmer of hope. After all, the two of them shared the joys and sorrows.

There is also an indescribable feeling in my heart towards Xiao Zhuo.

But just waiting for Xiao Zhuo here is not a smart idea. The better way is to find a way to escape by yourself, so that Xiao Zhuo does not have to take the risk of entering the county.

Apart from a door and a window, there are no other exits from the house. The window is right next to the door, so it is obviously not possible to jump out directly.

She put her hands on the window frame, poked her head out slightly, and glanced at the maid guarding the door.

The maid guarding the door was replaced by a new one. The new one had a moustache, a green dress, a round face, and a cold look, as if everyone owed her money, and she felt like she was special. A person who is not easy to talk to.

It seems that Prince Qi is quite considerate and specially sent a maid who is not easy to communicate with.

While she was thinking about it, the maid in green turned her head and glared at her. The direct gaze directed at her was like an ice pick.

Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear, don't even think about escaping.

Shen Yuexi retracted her head and slammed the window shut. She stood up and walked around the room restlessly.

The decoration in this room is actually very high-end. The tables, chairs, beds and cabinets are all made of fine sandalwood. But at this time, her mind was full of thoughts of escaping, and she had no intention of appreciating it.

When she gave the prescription to Prince Qi, he didn't pay much attention to it and didn't even look at it. It can be seen that in his eyes, the prescription was not worth mentioning at all. He wanted to recruit her talent for his use.

In this case, Prince Qi will naturally not embarrass her. Otherwise, there is no point in recruiting talents.

Thinking of this, she had an idea. She walked quickly to the door and patted the door:

"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"

The voice of the maid in green came from outside the door: "I know, wait."

Shen Yuexi opened the window and took a look. The maid in green did not leave her place, but called a servant to give some instructions.

She didn't expect the maid in green to leave her post without permission, so she returned to the table and sat down.

The first step to escape is to understand this place. To understand this place, you must first talk to the maid who is guarding you.

After a while, the door opened.

The maid in green stood at the door, and a servant came in holding a plate in one hand. The four small, palm-sized dishes in the plate were placed on the red lacquered Eight Immortals round table in the room.

Shen Yuexi took a look and saw four small dishes of cold dishes: honey lotus root, shredded cucumber, mixed bitter chrysanthemum, and shredded dried tofu.

"What is this," she pretended to be angry, "this little food will be gone in two bites."

The servant carried the tray and said, "Ms. Pei, please calm down, the dishes are not finished yet."

Shen Yuexi's hand that was about to slap the table stopped in mid-air.

The servant exited the door, and another servant came in, also carrying a plate, which contained a whole sweet and sour fish. It was steaming and seemed to weigh three kilograms.

As soon as the sweet and sour fish was placed in the center of the table, the next dish of steamed scallops came.

After the dishes were served, Shen Yuexi looked at the dishes on the table and coughed dryly. She wanted to get angry and bring in the maid in green because she was dissatisfied with the food, but it seemed that she failed.

Anyway, she was indeed hungry, so she didn't treat herself badly. She stretched out her chopsticks and started eating, picking up each dish and tasting it.

You have to eat enough to escape, right?

As a result, she was full after finishing a round of vegetables. It was delicious, but now her mind was not on it.

The maid in green ordered the servants to remove the dishes, wipe the table, and close the door. She still didn't say a word to her the whole time.

After dinner, it was time to sing the next play. Shen Yuexi sat in front of the mirror, brewing her emotions first, then stretched out her hand to mess up her hair, making a look of pain. She felt it was not enough, so she pinched herself. A handful.

It hurts to cry now, and it can be faked.

"Ouch...ouch...yo." She threw herself on the bed, rolling over and moaning, pretending to be in severe pain.

After calling several times, there was still no movement outside the door.

It's impossible. It's so miserable. Why didn't the maid in green even ask? Could it be that the voice was too low and she didn't hear?

I still don’t believe it.

"Ouch——!" She screamed with all her strength, "My stomach hurts so much!"

The door opened with a bang, and the maid in green walked in with a sullen face.

"Ms. Pei, please keep your voice down. Your Highness has already rested. He is a light sleeper. If you wake him up, you and I will suffer no consequences."

Shen Yuexi was secretly happy.

It's a good thing that the maid in green didn't open her mouth, and she revealed important information when she opened her mouth. Don't call me at this time.

She took enough breath and was about to scream again with a higher pitch. The maid in green walked up quickly, squatted beside the bed and said:

"Ms. Pei, please stop screaming. If the pain is really severe, I will call the doctor for you."

The words were so urgent that he almost reached out to cover Shen Yuexi's mouth.

Shen Yuexi's heart moved, and she pretended to be in agony and said: "I don't know what I ate that was inappropriate, and the pain in my stomach is severe. Please call Doctor Hua from Yishengtang."

Invite Dr. Hua and find a way for him to contact Xiao Zhuo.

"Ms. Pei, there is a good doctor, Dr. Lin, in the mansion now. There is no need to invite outsiders. Do you want to invite him to come over for treatment?"

What's the use of asking Lin Kui to come over? He is Xiao Beiheng's subordinate and can't help him. Shen Yuexi had no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing and said to the maid in green:

"I'm suddenly feeling better now. If you talk to me for a few words, it might make things better."

Seeing that she stopped making noise, the maid in green seemed relieved, stood up and said, "If that's the case, I'll have a few words with you."

Shen Yuexi sat up holding her stomach, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "What's your name?"

"Cold frost."

As the name suggests, he is indeed cold and cold.

"Why did your master come here?"

The fiefdom of King Qi is in the north of the Yan Dynasty, and Liangzhou is close to the east. As far as she knows, the emperor is very vigilant about every move of these vassal kings. If these vassal kings want to leave the fiefdom, they will inevitably be monitored by the emperor to prevent

They colluded to shake his throne from under his ass.

"This servant doesn't know much about the master's affairs."

Leng Shuang rejected her simply and clearly.

Well, I couldn't find anything useful even if I wanted to.

In desperation, she fell back on the bed as if she was boneless.

It seems that there is no useful information to be gleaned from this maid's mouth.
