When she turned around, she saw a man in Taoist robe standing behind her, looking at her with a smile on his face.
Xie Li was so scared that she almost fell down on the stool.
This is the deep palace and the east palace.
In addition to the prince, there is actually a second man here.
The reason why he was sure of being a man, not a eunuch, was that the long beard on his chin was too obvious.
And he is still an old man.
"You...you are..."
Xie Li subconsciously wanted to retreat. Even if she had no knowledge, she knew that as the prince's woman, being alone in a secluded place with other men was enough to kill herself twice.
She looked around, there was no trace of people, and it was so quiet here.
Xie Li couldn't help but regret that even if she didn't want to go back to face Jiang Shuhua's face, she should have gone in with the palace maid. It was too dangerous to be alone here.
No, she needs to find a way.
She secretly glanced at the soft satin shoes on her feet, then glanced at the person opposite her. She couldn't escape the other party if she wanted to run away.
Then I can only... drag it out.
As long as she dragged the palace maid to come over, she would be fine.
Thinking of this in her heart, she tried hard to pluck her courage and replied: "Who are you? Why did you appear here at this time?"
Before the other party answered her, she changed her tone and tried to look gentle. "This is the inner palace. You are a man's house here. There are some suspicions of being under the melon field. If you don't want to be slashed in your head, you should leave quickly!"
The man's eyes only fell on her face, and the smile at the corner of his mouth did not change at all, "You are Zhang Xin's face, I have never seen you here before.
Let me guess... your surname is Xie? Xie Yuncang's daughter?"
Xie Li was a little nervous when he guessed his identity, but it was only for a while.
If you are a person with a heart, it is not difficult to inquire about the situation of the prince's woman in the East Palace.
It was a rumor that Xie Yuncang's concubine daughter had entered the Eastern Palace. Now, it was not a big deal to recognize her after seeing this.
She insisted on calming herself, "Who are you?"
"I heard outside that Xie Yuncang's youngest daughter is dead. It seems that he doesn't want you to be alive. I didn't expect Xie Yuncang to have such a cruel side, which surprised me."
His tone of disdain for Xie Yuncang was too obvious, and it was difficult for Xie Li to ignore it.
This was a very fresh feeling in her cognition. Since she was a child, no one dared to say Xie Yuncang in such a tone, because he was the pillar of the entire Xie family and the one everyone looked up to.
Even if the prince mentioned Xie Yuncang in front of her, he would always call him the title of Chief Xie, and he still didn't dare to call him by his name like this.
So who is the person in front of you?
The fear slowly faded, and Xie Li felt a little inexplicable expectation in her heart, "You... who are you? Do you know my father?"
"That's natural." The man smiled slightly, for some reason, Xie Li felt that his smile suddenly became two strange.
But she couldn't care about it anymore. What she had just learned made her clear that she was already a dead person in this world and she had to save herself.
"You seem to be in trouble now. Do you need me to pull you?"
Before Xie Li asked what she wanted to ask more, the other party suddenly spoke.
Just one sentence immediately made Xie Li nervous and excited.
But she wasn't completely crazy. She tried her best to suppress her uncontrollable emotions, "You... pull me? How do you pull me?"
"You don't want to die, do you?"
Although it was a question, it was clearly a sure tone when he said it from his mouth.
Xie Li himself has no way to refute it.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the man continued to say to himself, "If you really don't want to die, I have a way to not only allow you to continue to live, but also live like a superior."
If someone else said this, Xie Li would probably think that the other party was bragging, but the person in front of her, staring at her with his eyes made her completely unable to doubt the authenticity of the other party's words.
"Who are you? What are you going to do? How do I know if what you said is true? If you..."
"Little girl..." The man suddenly smiled and interrupted Xie Li's words, "There are too many problems that a cute girl should have. Just tell me now that you choose... or not."
His eyes were just smiling at Xie Li.
Xie Li had no power to resist in such a look and subconsciously agreed.
But she didn't know if she was too excited or she didn't recover from her fear just now, so she couldn't speak.
In the end, I could only nod my head vigorously.
When the other party showed an expression of achieving his goal on his face, Xie Li finally found his voice, "Why are you helping me?"
At this time, the other party had turned around and started walking out. Xie Li thought he would not answer, but who knew that his steps suddenly stopped again, as if he was thinking about her question.
Finally, after a while, he smiled and said, "That's probably me... I'm a little bored."
This answer was really a bit too hasty, which made Xie Li confused for a while.
"You haven't kept up?"
"Ah?" Xie Li was stunned for a moment without understanding his words.
Then I heard the man say again, "What are you still here for? Do you only realize your regret when you wait for someone to kill you quietly and throw yourself into the well?"
Her light words made Xie Li shudder. She didn't care about that much at the moment, and immediately chased the man and passed by.
When Xie Li's palace maid came here, there was no sign of his own master here.
The palace maid was so anxious that she immediately ran to report to the Crown Princess.
Although Zhao Mingxi didn't want to care about it after hearing this, he still asked someone to help him find it.
Strangely, I started looking out from the place where the palace maids mentioned, but after searching for a few rounds, I couldn't see Xie Li.
Not only did I not see her, I even found someone who had seen her.
What's even more strange is that when the palace maid clearly said that when she left, Xie Li stood there.
However, after careful analysis by the experienced eunuchs in the palace, there was no trace of Xie Li staying.
This made a mess for a day, and there was no trace of it.
When the news was reported to Zhao Mingxi, although Zhao Mingxi found it strange, he still reported it to the front yard truthfully.
Sure enough, there was no movement in the front yard.
I'm afraid the prince was relieved. This great disaster left no end.
Zhao Mingxi suddenly called the palace maid who was passing the message again, "Go to Prince Chen's Mansion!"
The palace maid stopped immediately, "Please give instructions to the queen."
Zhao Mingxi hesitated again and said for a while: "Forget it, I will write it myself. Remember to deliver it to Princess Chen later."
Xie Songhua didn't expect that the Crown Princess of the East Palace would actually send a letter to him.
Hearing this, he took it from Cui Liu's hand, but Lan Tian, who was beside him, suddenly said, "What's so good about it? Isn't it just a show of kindness to you?"
