Chapter 44 Xiao Beiheng’s Habits

Shen Yuexi saw Leng Shuang standing there with his back to her, and quickly looked around.

The toilet was backed by the wall of the yard, and the other three sides were surrounded by brick walls, with a pavilion-shaped roof on top. The only place she could get out was on the wall. But the wall was three meters high, and she couldn't climb it.

However, there was a row of tall poplar trees planted outside the wall, which gave her inspiration.

"Big Bear, make me a ladder. Just long enough to cross this wall."

In the blink of an eye, a ladder appeared in her hands.

She quickly leaned the ladder against the wall and climbed up on the ladder gently.

Just as he stepped up two steps, Leng Shuang's voice suddenly sounded:

"are you done?"

"This is a big size, a big size! It can't be that fast." Shen Yuexi shouted towards the outside, "Don't ask if it's still intact, okay?"

After hearing this, Leng Shuang folded her arms and waited there without saying a word.

Shen Yuexi sat on the top of the wall, bent down and pulled the ladder up, then put it on the other side, holding the ladder down to the ground. She hid the ladder in the bushes in the corner. Then she raised her head and looked around in the moonlight.

On this side of the wall is a garden. It is full of flowers and trees, filled with fragrance. In the center of the garden, you can vaguely see stone tables and benches. A cobblestone path winds through the garden and leads to a corner gate.

If your guess is correct, this is the back garden of the mansion. If you open the corner door, you should be able to go to the street outside.

She was very happy and walked softly along the path to the corner door.

Even if the corner door has a lock, it won't be a problem for her, as long as the universal manufacturing machine can make any iron items.

When she came to the corner door, she reached out and touched the door. Sure enough, she touched an iron lock.

"Big Bear, make it for me..."

She was thinking about what to make when suddenly a voice sounded from behind: "Ms. Pei, why are you still up so late?"

The sound sounded so suddenly that Shen Yuexi was so frightened that she almost jumped up on the spot.

She turned around and immediately saw Xiao Beiheng, who was graceful and elegant, standing in front of her. There was a dangerous smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Ah...I...I suddenly felt a little bored, so I came out for a walk. Can't His Royal Highness sleep?"

She put her hands behind her back and turned around with a smile to hide her embarrassment at being caught red-handed.

Both parties knew it, but no one revealed it.

Xiao Beiheng shook his head and said:

"I go to bed on time every night. It's just..." He glanced at Shen Yuexi, "Just after I fell asleep, a maid seemed to call out and just came out to relax. What a coincidence, I didn't expect Mrs. Pei to also There was no rest.”

He spoke sincerely, but in Shen Yuexi's heart, thousands of grass and mud horses were galloping past.

Daqing Lengshuang really didn't lie to her.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have howled that way.

"Yes...yes, the maid who woke up the prince...sigh." She lowered her head and sighed.

Xiao Beiheng smiled slightly and said vaguely: "There are many servants in the house, and some maids often shout. I have long been used to it."

Shen Yuexi nodded.

From this point of view, this prince could tolerate his servants, and he was a considerate master. She was a little surprised when she thought that when he killed the bandits, he acted decisively, cruelly and without mercy.

"Ms. Pei," Xiao Beiheng walked under the pavilion, pointed at the stone table in the garden, and greeted Shen Yuexi, "it is not the way to entertain guests while standing and talking. You and I sit down and talk."

Shen Yuexi knew that she couldn't escape from Xiao Beiheng's eyes, so she walked over and sat down on a stone bench. On a summer night, the stone bench had been exposed to the sun all day, and it was still warm when she sat on it.

The two of them had just sat down when there was a sound of clothes breaking in the wind on the wall, and Leng Shuang appeared on the wall.

Shen Yuexi looked at Leng Shuang on the wall in surprise.

I bet this maid is still a practicing girl. The three-meter-high wall came up in no time. Even without Xiao Beiheng, it is estimated that it would be difficult for her to escape from this person.

When Leng Shuang saw Shen Yuexi's presence, she put away the anxious look on her face. She immediately jumped down and quickly came to the two of them.

Shen Yuexi was a little nervous and a little embarrassed, not knowing how to face Leng Shuang.

I thought she would scold him for running away. Unexpectedly, Leng Shuang didn't look at her at all, but plopped down and knelt upright in front of Xiao Beiheng.

The garden suddenly became quiet as if there was no one around.

Shen Yuexi looked at Leng Shuang, and suddenly found that Leng Shuang was trembling slightly, as if she was enduring great fear. Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition for some reason.

Because of her escape, Leng Shuang will be punished by the Crown Prince.

But after listening to Xiao Beiheng's words just now, it seemed that he was quite tolerant towards his servants, so Leng Shuang should not be frightened like this.

Could it be that she misunderstood something?

Thinking of this, she also became nervous.

Although Leng Shuang is the maid responsible for guarding her, Shen Yuexi knows that she is only following orders and there is no grudge between the two. If Xiao Beiheng wants to punish Leng Shuang for this, she is not happy to see it.

She looked at Xiao Beiheng again and found that Xiao Beiheng was sitting there leisurely, without even looking at Leng Shuang.

"Ms. Pei, I heard that your husband was attacked by bandits and was injured by an arrow?"

The tone of the question was casual. But Shen Yuexi still smelled something unusual.

This matter cannot be hidden from Doctor Hua and Lin Kui. If Lin Kui wants to buy a prescription, he naturally needs to know the details of the person selling the prescription. Doctor Hua told the story between her and Xiao Zhuo between the lines.

Since everyone knew it, there was no need to hide it, so he replied:

"Yes, but after Dr. Hua's diagnosis and treatment, he is already cured."

"How many days ago was the arrow hit?" Xiao Beiheng seemed to be very interested in this matter and asked step by step.

"Three days... or four days, I can't remember clearly."

Shen Yuexi was a little confused. Why would Prince Qi be interested in this matter?

Xiao Beiheng sighed unexpectedly, shook his head and said, "It's a pity."

She didn't understand even more, what did Xiao Beiheng regret? Then she asked with a smile: "What do you regret, Your Highness?"

Xiao Beiheng did not respond to her, but suddenly stood up, turned to Leng Shuang and said, "You haven't thought about it yet?"

Leng Shuang suddenly touched his forehead to the ground and kowtowed three times to Xiao Beiheng.

Xiao Beiheng nodded slightly, turned to Shen Yuexi and smiled: "Ms. Pei, it's late at night, please go back to the house and rest."

After speaking, Xiao Beiheng took the lead in walking towards the Moon Gate exit of the back garden.

Shen Yuexi didn't understand the meaning of the interaction between the two, but this was a matter between the master and the servant. As an outsider, she had no room to intervene. She still had this self-awareness.

Xiao Beiheng's punishment was probably to make her kneel here all night.

She glanced at Leng Shuang and followed Xiao Beiheng towards the exit.

But when she walked close to the Moon Gate, a sharp and pitiful scream suddenly came from behind. It was far more miserable than when she was pretending to have a stomachache in the room.

She paused suddenly and turned around to look.

Leng Shuang knelt there, twitching all over, holding her left wrist tightly with her right hand, and blood was spurting out from the section of her left wrist.

In front of her, a dagger with cold light was inserted into the ground. The moonlight reflected by the dagger illuminated the bloody severed hand on the ground.

Shen Yuexi's hair stood on end.

She finally understood what Xiao Beiheng meant by "already used to it".
