"Later, I will ask Shi Wu to execute it. Get out!" After sending Shi Jiu out, Dong Fang Su apologized, "I am really sorry about Shi Jiu, I did not know that she would suddenly be this rude, please forgive me Princess." After pausing for a moment, he said: "Since Shi Jiu is unwilling, I will instruct someone else to give it to Princess."

"This matter is not urgent, but Shi Jiu … What she said just now was mostly because of his anger, could the Prince be spared from her whipping? "

Dong Fang Su sighed, "Offending from the bottom out is Camping's greatest taboo, and being whipping fifty is already the lightest punishment."

Xia Yue listened at the side with her mouth agape. Whipping fifty was still the lightest punishment, so how terrifying would the heaviest punishment be?

Mu Qian Xue nodded silently. After sending Dong Fang Su off, Xia Yue turned her eyeballs around while holding the lamp. It was unknown what she was thinking about.

After lighting up all the lamps in the room, she looked at Mu Qian Xue who was reflected in the orange light, and said after spinning her tongue a few times: "Princess, do you think Shi Jiu likes Prince?" This was the only reason she could think of to explain how Shi Jiu had lost his composure like this.

Mu Qian Xue glanced at her, then said indifferently: "You finally saw through it?"

"That means this servant guessed right." Xia Yue said in pleasant surprise, then she said in a pleased tone: "This servant already said, why does she always target Princess on the way, so that's how it is." After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "But looking at her appearance today, Prince doesn't have a care in the world for her. It's just like the poem Princess once recited, 'What did Luo Hua do … What love, water... "Heartless."

Xia Yue nodded her head repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, that's what she said. She was obviously jealous of the fact that the Prince is good to his heart, and is always protecting the Princess." As she said that, she remembered something and asked curiously, "Did Princess notice that earlier?"

"You have the most questions." As they spoke, Mu Qian Xue got up and walked out. Seeing that Xia Yue wanted to follow her, she said: "I'll go take a walk outside, and I'll be back soon, so don't follow me. Go to the inner room to clean up the bedding, and then see if there are any benzoin s. Ever since the incident with the West Chu, she had not been sleeping well, and could not fall asleep easily, and it was easy for her to wake up.

After Xia Yue agreed, Mu Qian Xue opened the door and walked out. The sky was already completely dark, a bright moon quietly hung in the sky, shining down a gentle silver light.

After nightfall, the heat had subsided by quite a bit. It was no longer as hot and stuffy as it was during the day. Low chirping of cicadas came from both sides. It seemed like there were still some left on the trees.

"No need, let them be." Mu Qian Xue looked at the pretty boy in front of him, "What's your name?"

The servant said respectfully, "In reply to Princess, my name is Xu Li." Afraid that Mu Qian Xue couldn't understand, he followed and explained, "It's a good place to stand for both of us."

Mu Qian Xue listened carefully to his words, "From your accent, you don't seem to be from the Jinling?"

Xu Li raised his head in shock, "Yes, I was originally from Hu Prefecture, and when I was seven years old, I followed my family and fled to Jinling, where I lived for ten years. Father said that the Jinling was under the feet of the Emperor, and was the best place in the entire Dazhou, so he gave me a new name. He was quite straightforward and told everything about himself without hiding anything.

"As long as one is reliable and willing to work, one is not afraid of hard work. No matter where one goes, he will be able to live a peaceful life."

Xu Li nodded, "Mn, that's what Prince said too." Saying that, he carefully asked, "Has Princess been to the Jinling before?

"Although the difference between your accent and King Rui's is not big, there are still some." After replying, Mu Qian Xue left the courtyard. Under the night sky, the Prince Rui's Palace was quiet, there were only the rustling of leaves and the chirping of insects. Occasionally, he would meet the servants in the mansion and she would also quietly bow.

Mu Qian Xue had a good memory. After walking a few steps and making a few turns, she remembered them all clearly, so she was not afraid of getting lost. Her snow-white skirt was meandering on the ground.

After passing through a white jade arched stone door, they arrived at the Prince Rui's Palace's rear garden. Although it was night time, both sides of the garden were lit up, so it was easy to see everything clearly.

Although it was not big, its layout was exquisite, the scenery within the garden was ever-changing, it could even be said to be a scene with every step. Just based on the arrangement alone, it was not inferior to the West Chu Palace of the past.

It was currently the middle of summer and the lotus flowers were all in full bloom. They floated lightly on the green lotus leaves. Wherever the night wind blew, the lotus leaves curled, and under the silver moonlight, there was a tranquility and beauty that could not be seen in the daytime.

In the moonlight and by the light of the lamp, one could see the shoulders of a person quietly sitting on the edge of the pond. In the moonlight and by the light of the lamp, one could see the shoulders of a person quietly sitting on the edge of the pond.

Shi Jiu quickly wiped his face, turned his head, and coldly said: "You better leave now, if not, I cannot promise that I won't be able to hold back and not kill you." She had never tried to hate someone so much before. Mu Qian Xue was the first one.

Mu Qian Xue gave a bland laugh as she gently raised her slender foot, touching upon a lotus stem that was closest to the shore, causing the lotus flower at the top to sway slightly, startling a butterfly that was hibernating on top of it. It flapped its wings and flew up, circled for a while, then landed in another lotus flower, and said, "Why would you rather be whipped than listen to my orders?"

"In this lifetime, I will only listen to the orders of the Prince alone. Under the moonlight, Shi Jiu's face vaguely had traces of wetness.

Mu Qian Xue looked at the surface of the pond, which was being blown away by the wind, and said softly: Even if it's something I want you to do, do you think it's related to the safety of King Rui?

Shi Jiu was startled, he stared at the face that was as beautiful as jade under the moonlight, "What do you mean?"

Mu Qian Xue said with a smile that was not a smile: "What, are you finally willing to look straight at me?"

Shi Jiu did not have the mood to joke around with her, and anxiously asked: "I'm asking you, what exactly do you mean."

Mu Qian Xue did not keep him in suspense and slowly said: "Previously in the inn, I told you this before. To King Rui, I might be his life protection talisman."

"That's a lie." The more Shi Jiu thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible. It was clearly she who put the Prince in danger time and time again, so how could it be some kind of life saving talisman?
