The walls on both sides of the corridor were built quite high. As Xie Songhua knelt on the ground like this, he felt as if the two walls on both sides were about to close above his head. Dark clouds covered him down like a prison cell. Standing in front of it
The man's scrutinizing gaze was so intense that she felt like she couldn't breathe.
"Four girls, please get up. Don't be nervous."
His voice fell in this empty corridor, with a somewhat ethereal feeling.
Xie Songhua thanked him honestly, and then stood up in an orderly manner, with his eyes lowered, only looking at the ground not far away from him.
In fact, it is not difficult to think of why the prince appeared here. Rumors about her and Xie Shuhua Tianfeng's destiny were so widespread.
If she were the prince, she would definitely want to see the girl from the Xie family behind this rumor.
In this case, being different is courting death!
Who is the prince? What kind of beautiful woman have I not seen before?
The most visible ones are the noble ladies from aristocratic families who follow strict rules in their words and deeds.
Rare things are valuable, and if they are not rare, they will naturally lose interest.
"He's actually a good-looking person."
Xie Songhua almost couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that the prince would speak so frivolously when they first met.
She was secretly unhappy, but she still said patiently: "Your Highness is so complimentary."
Not a single word more.
Then I heard the other party snort slightly, obviously not expecting her to be so boring.
The prince added: "It seems that the fourth girl has entered the palace for the second time, right?"
"yes."
His voice became softer, "You don't have to be afraid, just follow me."
"yes."
The prince paused for a long time and then said: "Let's go! I just have something to do to find my mother. I will take you there by the way."
"As commanded."
"..."
After walking in silence for a long time, the prince seemed a little impatient with the silence, so he asked again, "What do the fourth girls like to do at home?"
Xie Songhua inexplicably thought of the blind dates arranged by the dean's mother in his previous life. When they met for the first time, when they had nothing to say, they always used this tactic.
"Read and draw."
Read medical books and draw human anatomy diagrams.
"Oh? That's quite a talented woman."
"Your Highness is so complimentary."
The second time, the prince suddenly felt that this road was a bit too far.
He couldn't help but take another look at the girl who was half a step behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She was beautiful but had no soul.
He changed his mind and suddenly had a narrow-minded thought, "Why don't you raise your eyes to look at Gu? Are you afraid that Gu's ugly appearance will scare you?"
Xie Songhua immediately knelt down on the ground after hearing this, "Your Majesty makes atonement for your sins. I, my servant, have so little money and do not dare to despise Tian Yan."
Things like flirting with each other's eyes will only increase discomfort if done to the wrong person. Xie Songhua doesn't want to give them such an opportunity.
Anyway, as long as the prince is not interested in her and doesn't offend anyone, that's it.
"You..." The prince seemed annoyed by her attitude, and simply waved his hand, "That's all, get up!"
Xie Songhua thanked him again and followed him step by step.
But it was obvious that this time, the prince's footsteps were much faster, and Xie Songhua was also much happier.
Walking to the edge of Yechi, a somewhat feminine voice suddenly came, "I have met His Highness."
Xie Songhua's pupils narrowed slightly, and suddenly he felt that his throat seemed to be a little tight again.
Sure enough, I heard the prince's voice: "Why is Eunuch Han here?"
Han Jian's eyes swept over the people next to the prince, and his tone did not fluctuate, "I just came out of the East Palace, but I didn't see your highness. I heard that he was coming this way, so I came over to look for him."
Hearing this, the prince's voice became a little eager, "What do you want from me, father-in-law?"
Han Jian then stated that he wanted to find a report submitted by the governor of Zhejiang Province in the past year and it should be with the prince.
When the prince heard this, he quickly said: "My father-in-law, wait a minute, I will go find him now."
After saying this, he seemed to think of Xie Songhua. Han Jian smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, just go ahead! Miss Xie, I will take you to Kunning Palace for you."
Xie Songhua's hands and feet began to feel a little cold. He finally raised his head and wanted to call the prince, but the prince's feet seemed to have been greased and he walked away in a few seconds.
Xie Songhua turned his gaze faintly and landed on the person looking at him.
He was still wearing a bright red python robe, but he was covered with a similarly bright red gold-woven cloak, with a circle of snow-white fox fur rolled around the edge of the cloak.
His face looked increasingly pale and bloodless, but his eyebrows were delicate and picturesque.
If one ignored that cold gaze, Xie Songhua could honestly say that this person was a beauty.
She tried her best to twitch her lips, but forgot the rules, "We meet again... again."
After he finished speaking, he remembered and quickly saluted, "I've met Eunuch Han."
Then she heard his still cold voice, "Yes! We meet again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Songhua felt a gust of wind blowing toward her face. She stepped back almost subconsciously, but she didn't pay attention to her feet. In addition, the cloak was not short. When she leaned back and stepped back, her heels stepped on the edge of the cloak.
He immediately fell to his knees.
"Ouch..." Even though she was wearing thick clothes, Xie Songhua still fell hard. Especially she felt as if she had hit her tailbone. The pain was so painful that she burst into tears. She couldn't help but scream.
A flash of surprise flashed in Han Jian's eyes, and then he stared sharply at the person on the ground.
After Xie Songhua recovered, he slowly stood up. He cursed the dead eunuch three times in his heart, then twitched his lips and said, "No, I'm sorry, I didn't stand firm."
Seeing that the other party was still staring at her with stern eyes, Xie Songhua tested it, "Are you still going to Kunning Palace?"
Han Jian glanced at her, turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Xie Songhua hurriedly followed, but after taking only two steps, he stopped and said, "Oh, wait a minute."
Han Jian turned his face slightly and looked at her with a cold gaze. Xie Songhua tugged at the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "The fall was a little hard, I have to slow down."
"Gah..." A crow happened to fly from the branch nearby, and Xie Songhua became even more embarrassed.
Then she saw the person in front of her walking towards her step by step. Xie Songhua felt a little panicked and subconsciously covered her neck and tried to step back.
She was really scared, this person was too much like the pervert in the TV series, not to mention, he almost killed her twice before.
Isn't it easy to kill someone in this deep palace? Just find a dry well and throw yourself into it.
"That...I...I, I, I am the queen. The queen summoned me...ah..."
Xie Songhua's wrist was suddenly grabbed by the man, and a short scream was stuck in her throat, and she didn't dare to continue shouting.
In fact, it was because the look in the man's eyes was too terrifying, and the wrist he held was as cold as ice.
The coldness penetrated from his fingertips, wormed its way into Xie Songhua's skin, and traveled along the veins to the bottom of her heart, making her tremble involuntarily.
She breathed carefully, looked at the person in front of her, and then noticed that his brows were frowning slightly.
After a long time, his wrist was suddenly released, and the man continued walking forward.
Xie Songhua was so big that he didn't dare to breathe, so he still followed him forward cautiously, trying his best to ignore the pain in his buttocks and try to walk as smoothly as possible.
Fortunately, no more troubles occurred along the way. When Xie Songhua saw Queen Zhao again, she was as excited as if she were seeing her mother.
She was not familiar with Empress Zhao, and she knew that a woman in this position was not an ordinary person.
But at least he wouldn't kill her directly like that pervert!
