Zhong Yuxi was still frozen in place because of the kiss, but he had already strode out.
"Are you sure you can find the way?"
Facing the people who were stunned there, he coldly said a word.
Zhong Yuxi hurriedly chased after her. She was sure that the tenderness of the kiss just now was her imagination. This one was Xiaofeng now. Well, she couldn't be wrong.
The next day, Zhong Yuxi was not on duty. She got up early in the morning and made a decision that surprised even herself.
When she came back last night, she deliberately left a mark on the road, and today she sneaked over and brought cleaning tools.
This small building seems to have been abandoned, and naturally no one will come to clean it, but the desolation and defeat she saw yesterday is tightly wrapped in her heart like a thin thread, as if she will hear the faint sound as soon as she closes her eyes.
With a sigh, I thought of the sad and lonely eyes of the beautiful woman.
She met such a tragic fate just because she was a commoner.
Standing in the hall, she rolled up her sleeves and looked at the wall. Well, let's start by cleaning the cobwebs.
It took a whole day to clean the small building. Looking at the fruits of her labor, Zhong Yuxi did not forget to bow before the altar. In this way, the beauty would not sigh again. Wouldn't that person also
Will you be happy?
And since she hadn't eaten all day, she was already so tired that her back ached. Thinking that there should be food in the kitchen by now, she hurried back.
As soon as he arrived at Cuihua Hall, he saw a figure standing there quietly. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he slowly turned around and smiled elegantly at her.
The tool in Zhong Yuxi's hand fell to the ground, and the small red bucket rolled far away.
"Miss Yu Xi, Your Highness the Sixth Highness invites you."
The person standing in front of her talking to her was Suo Xin, that is, Bai Lianpu. It was rare that she could still smile so nonchalantly and dare to come and chat with her as usual. This woman's psychological quality was indeed beyond repair.
.
His Highness Sixth Prince is looking for her? What could happen?
They obviously just separated last night.
"Miss Yu Xi, His Highness the Sixth Prince has been waiting for a long time. If you don't come over, he will be angry." She still had such a gentle smile on her face, but Zhong Yuxi felt it was particularly dazzling in her eyes.
She avoided her gaze and went to pick up the bucket: "I'll go after changing my clothes."
"Then Suo Xin will leave first."
She nodded with a smile, turned and left.
Zhong Yuxi sighed. Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind never come. She always felt that this was a trap, waiting for her to jump in with her mouth open.
After hurriedly taking a bath and changing clothes, the distance from Cuihua Hall to Yangxin Hall was not far. She still deliberately slowed down her pace, leaving herself enough time to think. After much thought, she still couldn't think of anything.
Why on earth did His Highness want to see her alone? After all, in this palace, she is the king's maid, and the most favored maid. Even the prince cannot summon her easily.
Just as I was thinking about it, I already arrived at the Yangxin Hall.
There were two rows of guards standing at the door. When they saw her, they all greeted her politely: "Miss Zhong."
The leading guard made a gesture of invitation: "His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the study on the second floor."
Zhong Yuxi suppressed the anxiety in her heart and ran straight to the second floor.
The study door was closed tightly. She reached out and was about to knock when she heard a faint voice from inside: "Come in."
Xiaofeng sat on the large leather chair behind the desk, wearing a gray V-neck T-shirt, revealing half of his lean arms, and was flipping through a book.
When she heard the door open, she didn't even raise her head from the book until Zhong Yuxi walked to the table and asked in a low voice: "Are you looking for me?"
Then he slowly put down the book, raised his head and glanced at her, then pushed a folder in front of her.
Zhong Yuxi recognized this document. His Majesty the King had carefully read it in the garden behind the White Marble Palace yesterday afternoon. There was a word "secret" on the document, and she remembered it very clearly.
But what did he mean now? Just when he was hesitating whether he should accept it or not, Xiaofeng had already said: "At today's regular meeting, His Majesty decided to let the prince go to Qianyu Island."
Zhong Yuxi almost lost her voice in surprise. It was His Highness the Sixth Prince who made the documents and plans, so why was the Prince sent in the end?
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, and the conversation she heard that night sounded in her mind. It seemed that she had mentioned some document, and Xuanyuan Ye said that he wanted that document.
Could it be that Suo Xin secretly copied the plan and gave it to the prince?
He pushed the document aside, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as cold as ever, "Zhong Yuxi, do you know that at today's regular meeting, every suggestion the prince made was aimed at my plan here. He made
He seemed to be more prepared than me. If he didn't know the contents of the document, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Zhong Yuxi suddenly realized the reason why he came to her today. It turned out that she was just a scapegoat. She stole the document and told Xuanyuan Ye. She accidentally saw the document in the garden, so
, Xiaofeng thought she had betrayed him.
"Zhong Yuxi, I always thought you were very simple." Xiaofeng leaned forward and slowly stood up from the chair, elegantly like a gentleman, but Zhong Yuxi knew that the angrier he became, the more
It's not scary, but it's so deserted and expressionless. He must be thinking of ways to plot against people.
Subconsciously, she took a step back.
His eyes were even more dangerous, reaching a bright brightness. He stared at her and said, "Are you scared? Do you know you are wrong?"
Zhong Yuxi shook her head. She didn't know how to explain it, or would Xiaofeng believe her explanation?
She would not betray Xuanyuan Ye or Xiaofeng, but in the end, none of them believed her.
Standing in such a sad position, she only felt that she was a great irony.
She was enveloped by his tall figure, and the aura on his body was like a mountain. Just standing at the foot of the mountain, she was oppressed by that aura.
Finally cornered, she had no way out.
"It's not me." That's all she could say.
He didn't seem to hear, his eyes were still dangerous, he clamped her between his chest and the wall, put one arm on her neck, lowered his head and looked down at her with a somewhat panicked and determined expression.
He raised his hand and waved it towards Zhong Yuxi's face. She instinctively closed her eyes...
Outside the door, a slender figure stood leaning against the wall, with a smug sneer on the corner of his mouth, waiting for the wonderful start as if watching a good show.
Soon, the sound of breaking porcelain and a woman's scream came from the study, and then a louder thumping sound came, as if someone was forcing others to do something.
She didn't need to listen anymore. With His Highness's character, he would not let anyone betray him. He would make her life worse than death.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife is indeed more pleasurable.
