The maid seemed to have regained her composure, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Slave, please see the princess."

Zhaoxue looked at her and ordered: "Raise your head."

"Yes, Princess." The maid responded, slowly raising her head, but her eyes flickered slightly.

Nanny Jiang looked at the maid, she was quite pretty, and turned to Zhaoxue: "Princess?"

Zhaoxue still looked at the maid and nodded. She was indeed Xiaochan. Still, she looked a little timid, but she asked: "What's your name?"

"Back to the princess...my slave...this slave's name is Xiaochan." Xiaochan said timidly, her eyes secretly glanced at Murong Zhaoxue who was looking up, and she secretly sighed at what a beautiful woman.

"Where are you from? What's the purpose of coming to Leng's Mansion?" Zhaoxue asked lightly, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

Xiaochan lowered her eyes slightly and bowed: "Back to the princess, my slave... I was working in the big kitchen of the Zhenguo Mansion..."

"Oh, you are a servant in the main kitchen of the Zhenguo Mansion? Did your General Zhenguo ask you to come?" Zhaoxue asked again before she could finish her answer.

"No...it's not..." Xiaochan denied it hastily, with a hint of worry in her eyes, and then said: "Princess... this slave has never even seen the general's face. This slave is often bullied in the kitchen of the Zhenguo Mansion.

It was Aunt Gui who always protected the slave, and the slave was better off just now, but...it was just that A few days ago, Aunt Gui was transferred away. Seeing that there was no one to protect the slave, the people in the big kitchen began to bully the slave again, and even shouted at the slave.

Come and drink, punch and kick, Princess, you see..." As he said that, without caring about anything, he rolled up his sleeves in front of everyone.

Zhaoxue and others looked at her arms and saw many bright red scars. Although they had been treated with medicine, they were still very scary.

Situ Chen glanced at it lightly, lowered his eyes, and his face darkened slightly.

"Then why did you come to Leng Mansion?" Zhaoxue looked at the scars and frowned slightly, but she didn't expect that this girl would be even more sad than in her previous life.

"Back to the princess, I heard from Aunt Gui that she had a friend who was working in the Leng Mansion and was serving the princess. She said that the princess was kind to others and a very good master. Aunt Gui also said that the Zhenguo Mansion was kind.

Because of her, she can't leave the Zhenguo Mansion, so she wants to be a servant to the princess." Xiaochan put down her sleeves and lowered her head in response.

Zhaoxue looked at her quietly and asked, "How did you get out of the Zhenguo Mansion?"

"Princess... I escaped while I was out of the house to buy groceries... Princess..." As he spoke, he knelt down and nodded towards Murong Zhaoxue: "Princess... please... please take me in... slave

I don’t want to go back and be beaten and scolded by them again... Princess... please... please..."

"Princess." Yinxin walked into the house and saluted Zhaoxue: "Princess...Princess..." He looked at Xiaochan, looking a little confused.

"What do you want to report?" Nanny Jiang asked, looking at Xiao Chan, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Yes, a servant from the Zhenguo Mansion came to the mansion. They said that a maid ran away and saw her coming to the Leng Mansion. The boy guarding the door said that there was an unfamiliar maid who came to the princess. The master sent someone

Come and take the maid to the main hall, she is in the outer courtyard now." Yinxin reported truthfully.

"Princess...Princess...please, please, please save this slave...If this slave is taken back by them, her life will be worse than death...Princess, please, please, please..."

He licked his head on the ground again, begging urgently.

"You should get up first." Zhaoxue winked at Yinxiang. Yinxiang understood and stepped forward to pull Xiaochan up.

Zhaoxue looked at Xiaochan, narrowed her eyes slightly and thought for a moment. After a while, she ordered: "Yinxiang, take her to your room to rest first, and give her some medicine."

"Yes, Princess." Yinxiang responded and supported Xiaochan: "Girl, come with me."

"Thank you, Princess...Thank you, Princess..." Xiaochan thanked her hurriedly, and walked with Yinxiang to the door of the house. When she turned around outside, she glanced at Murong Zhaoxue in the room, but she didn't expect that Murong Zhaoxue was also looking at her.

His eyes flashed, he turned his head hurriedly, and followed Yinxiang.

"Princess, what should we do now?" Nanny Jiang asked Zhao Xue.

Zhaoxue smiled lightly and told Yinxin: "First tell the kitchen to serve the food, and then go and tell my father's people that the princess doesn't know about that maid and has already driven her away."

"Yes, Princess." Yinxin bowed and responded, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

"Xue'er, do you really want to take that girl in?" Qin Kui asked from the side, a little confused. Even if he sympathized with the girl, he could have given her a sum of money and let her go, so why should he keep her in the yard?

In? And that girl is still a member of the Zhenguo Mansion, her identity is unknown. If something goes wrong, it will be serious.

Zhaoxue nodded: "Yes, master."

"Xue'er, it's not easy for that girl to appear." Shukui also said. Everyone in the room thought so. How could people not be suspicious if someone from the town appeared at such a tense moment.

Zhaoxue smiled lightly and nodded: "Yes, master, Zhaoxue knows, but this girl has an indissoluble bond with Zhaoxue. Zhaoxue owes her life. Zhaoxue cannot drive her away. We just need to be more careful in the future."

Zhaoxue knew that if she drove Xiao Chan out of the house, Xiao Chan would be of no use to others and would undoubtedly die. Even if she was given a life back in her previous life, she still couldn't bear to drive her out of the house.

Except for Situ Chen and Nanny Jiang, who showed no doubts, the other people in the room had deep doubts in their eyes, not understanding what Zhao Xue said. Especially Xiaowan, who frowned, remembering the last conversation between his master and Nanny Jiang.

I feel even more strange, what is the connection between the master and this Xiao Chan?

No matter how confused they were, Zhaoxue said this, and the rest of the people said nothing more. After the food was served, everyone put aside Xiaochan's affairs and ate happily.

After dinner, Situ Chen and Qin Kui accompanied Murong Zhaoxue to the residence of the second prince Murong Zixuan. After the prince of Tianyue Kingdom turns fifteen years old, the emperor will give him a mansion outside the palace.

"Xue'er, you must be more careful with that maid." Situ Chen looked at Zhao Xue and spoke with a serious expression.

Zhaoxue raised her eyes, nodded, and asked, "What did you see?"

"The scars on her arms were caused by whips." Situ Chen replied, revealing the flaw in one sentence.

Zhaoxue and Qinkui looked at each other and recalled those scars, but they couldn't tell what they were caused by.

"How did Chen'er know that those wounds were caused by a whip? And if it was really a whip, maybe the servants in the kitchen hit her with a whip?" Qin Kui asked doubtfully and hypothetically, although everyone was confused.

I know that Xiaochan came at the wrong time and is very suspicious, but after all, it is just suspicion and there is no evidence. If there is evidence and flaws, I must find out.

"To be honest with Aunt Hua, Chen'er has a cousin who likes to use a riding crop to punish servants. Chen'er has seen it a few times. The injury on the maid's arm just now was caused by a riding whip, and it was made of high-quality willow branches.

"It's caused by the riding whip." Situ Chen answered, thought for a while and then said: "Judging from her wounds, those scars should have been caused last night. They are all very bright red, so Chen'er can easily tell that they were hit by the riding whip.

Yes. The servants in the kitchen will not have riding whips, which are made of high-quality willow sticks. And generally speaking, when a servant bullies a servant, he should punch, kick, or even twist or pinch. During the Yao Women's Day competition

, Chen'er saw that Xiao Yunhan's riding whip was made of high-quality willow branches, so that maid should have been sent by Xiao Yunhan."

Qin Kui nodded. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he did not speak again. In any case, there must be something wrong with the maid named Xiaochan, and he must be on guard against her.

Murong Zhaoxue sat quietly aside, never speaking, thinking of the innocent...cute...timid girl in her previous life when she was most helpless, thinking of how brave she was for herself, and how she acted for no reason for herself.

She looked like she died in vain... She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. What if she really became Xiao Yunhan's pawn in this life... What should she do?

Situ Chen looked at her and sighed slightly. After hearing her talk about the past life, he became more and more aware of what she was thinking. He knew that she must be feeling uncomfortable because of that maid. There was a touch of distress in his phoenix eyes.

He reached out and took her bare hand.

Murong Zhaoxue raised her eyes, saw his distressed and worried eyes, and smiled slightly, indicating that she was fine.

The carriage continued to drive. Qin Kui looked at the two of them and smiled happily, but he was a little worried in his heart. That's all...these two children will persevere to the end...

"Xu——" When they arrived at the second prince's residence, the carriage stopped, and Yingfeng's voice came from outside: "Princess, Prince Xuan's residence has arrived."

The three of them got off the carriage. It was already getting dark outside. The carriage stopped at the back door of Prince Xuan's Mansion. There were two bright lanterns hanging on both sides of the back door. The door was open. The boy guarding the door saw Zhao Xue and hurriedly came forward.

Come: "Princess, please come in quickly."

The three of them followed the boy and walked in. Yingfeng told Yingyun a few words and looked around before following him in.

"How's it going? Is anyone following?" Zhaoxue glanced at Yingfeng who followed him and asked.

Yingfeng shook his head: "Back to the princess, no, probably she has been lured away by Yingtian."

Zhaoxue nodded, and several people led the boy to the main hall. The maid had already gone to report to Murong Zixuan, and another maid brought water.

After a while, Murong Zixuan came over. He saw a few people in the main hall, smiled, and walked closer and said, "Zhaoxue, Mr. Situ, how come Master Qinkui is here?"

"I've met the second prince (second cousin)." The three of them stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat." Murong Zixuan smiled and waved, sat down with the three of them, and asked: "What's the important thing for the three of you to come together?"

Neither Situ Chen nor Qin Kui said anything, so it was most comfortable for Zhao Xue to speak up about this matter.

Zhaoxue glanced at the two of them, then turned to Murong Zixuan and said: "Second cousin, Zhaoxue and the others are here this time because there is a very important matter, related to the fate of the Tianyue Kingdom and the life and death of the Murong family."

"What?" Murong Zixuan was shocked, frowned, and asked again: "What happened?"

"Second cousin, this is what happened..." Zhaoxue came one by one.

The more Murong Zixuan listened, the more shocked he became. After Zhaoxue finished speaking, he asked: "Zhaoxue, this matter is of great importance. Does your father know about it?"

Murong Zhaoxue looked out of the hall, thought for a while, and looked back: "At this time, my uncle should probably know. Second cousin, you must have less contact with the Xiao family during this period, and the house must also be prepared."

Murong Zixuan nodded, his gentle face now serious: "My cousin knows, Zhao Xue, you said that one-third of the capital's troops are in the hands of the Minister of War, and my cousin should have a way to persuade the Minister of War to protect the emperor.

"

Murong Zhaoxue frowned slightly: "Second cousin, what can I do? Last time at Zuixian Tower..."

Murong Zixuan smiled warmly and said: "It is precisely because of the incident at Zuixian Tower last time that Zhaoxue still remembers that Ziyi wanted to send his father and son to the government, but Ya'er and I stopped him, so the Minister of War and his son treated me

He Ya'er was so grateful that he came to Prince Xuan's Mansion to visit him this noon, and Mr. Fu asked the master of Zuixian Tower for two hours' leave."

Zhaoxue suddenly understood, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. No wonder he didn't see Mr. Fu in Zuixian Tower at noon today. He smiled slightly and said, "The Minister of War will entrust one-third of his troops to his second cousin, and he will also ask for it himself."

Be careful not to let Xiao Yunhan notice it."

"Don't worry, Zhao Xue, my cousin knows it well." Murong Zixuan nodded.

"Well, that's good. Zhaoxue has to go to his third cousin's house. Let him know and then leave first." Zhaoxue said and stood up.

Murong Zixuan also stood up and faced Situ Chen: "Master Situ, Zhaoxue's safety depends on your protection."

"Second Prince, you can rest assured." Situ Chen stood up, smiled and held his hands.

After saying goodbye, Zhaoxue and the others hurriedly left Xuanwang's Mansion and went to Yiwang's Mansion. Halfway through, in a hidden alley, Zhaoxue and the others got off the carriage and got into an ordinary carriage. Yingfeng and the ordinary carriage

The driver on the ordinary carriage changed his coat and drove the ordinary carriage to one side, while the driver on the ordinary carriage got on the Leng Mansion's carriage and went to Leng Mansion with Ying Yun.

Yingfeng drove the carriage to the back door of Prince Yi's Mansion. The back door was closed tightly. Yingfeng stepped forward and knocked hard several times.

After a while, there was a "squeak" sound, and a boy opened the door, looked at Yingfeng, raised his head and asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to the back door of Prince Yi's Mansion?"

"My master, Princess Zhaoxue, wants to meet with the Third Prince." Yingfeng replied expressionlessly and ducked away.

The young man was slightly startled, and looked at Zhao Xue, Situ Chen and Qin Kui beside the carriage. Zhao Xue had not passed Prince Yi's Mansion before, so the servants in the mansion did not know Zhao Xue. The young man looked at it for a while, and saw that several of them looked very good.

She was very beautiful and handsome, and her clothes were also very gorgeous, but she looked at the carriage again and snorted: "How could Princess Zhaoxue ride in such a carriage? And why don't you go through the main entrance of Prince Yi's Mansion? Why?

Do you want to enter through this back door?"

Yingfeng was speechless for a moment and looked at Zhaoxue: "Master..."

Situ Chen curled his lips, pulled a money bag from his waist, and threw it to the boy: "Hurry and report to the Third Prince. Princess Zhaoxue has something important to discuss with the Third Prince. If there is any delay, you will be the only one to ask."

The boy took the money bag, weighed it, smiled immediately, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I will go and report it now. Please wait a moment." After that, he closed the door and ran to the main courtyard.

Already.

The three of them were waiting outside. Not long after, the door opened again. With a flattering smile on his face, the boy bent down and led someone out: "The third prince, it's them."

The person behind was none other than Murong Ziyi. Hearing the boy's report that Princess Zhaoxue was coming, he hurried over with a faint smile on his lips. He looked towards the carriage and saw the three of them.

It sank immediately.

"I've met my third cousin." Murong Zhaoxue bowed slightly and saluted.

"I've met the Third Prince." Situ Chen and Qin Kui bowed with their hands in hand.

Murong Ziyi calmed down all his expressions and returned to his usual cold demeanor: "I wonder why cousin Zhaoxue, Master Situ, and Master Qinkui came to the back door of my Prince Yi's residence?" His tone seemed slightly strange.

Situ Chen frowned. He had been looking at Murong Ziyi since he came out. When he saw him clearly, his faint smile immediately faded away. He was very clear in his heart and quietly moved closer to Zhaoxue.

, smiled lightly and said: "Third Prince, we have come to discuss something important." There was a deep sense of alienation between the smile and the words.

Murong Ziyi's eyes darkened a bit, and he glanced at the three of them: "Since you have something to do, please come in." After that, he turned around and walked towards the mansion.

The boy waiting at the door saw Murong Ziyi coming in and hurriedly held a lantern to light the way for him.

Situ Chen looked at Murong Ziyi's back, the smile at the corners of his mouth faded, and then turned to look at Murong Zhaoxue, saying softly: "Xue'er, let's go." As if unconsciously, he put his arm around her shoulders and pushed in.

Go.

Murong Zhaoxue was pretentious at this time and didn't pay attention to anything. She let him hold her and walked into Prince Yi's Mansion.

It was not too dark at this time and there was moonlight, so it was easy to walk.

Qin Kui frowned slightly and followed him in, but he was a little worried. Just now, Murong Ziyi looked at Xueer's eyes... There are only three princes in Tianyue Kingdom who can become famous at this time, Murong Zixuan, Murong Ziyi, and Murong

Zichen... This Murong Zixuan is gentle, and Murong Zichen is still young... Only this Murong Ziyi is a very famous person... Qin Kui has been traveling for many years and has seen all kinds of people. He can tell that this Murong Ziyi is a bad person.

The master of provoking me is afraid that if he is allowed to recognize something, he will definitely get it... I hope Chen'er will not underestimate his love rival...

Shadow Wind threw the carriage rope to the boy guarding the door and followed him inside.

Murong Ziyi took a few people to the pavilion in the back garden. There were several lanterns burning in the pavilion, which was very bright.

The boy carrying the lantern left the pavilion and asked the maid to make tea, while Yingfeng stood guard outside the pavilion.

Murong Ziyi was the first to sit on the chair and stretched out his hands: "You three, please take a seat."

Situ Chen helped Murong Zhaoxue sit down, and then he also sat down, and Qin Kui also sat down.

"What important matters do you three want to discuss with me?" Murong Zi asked with a raised eyebrow, looking at Murong Zhaoxue.

"Third cousin, have you been stable recently?" Zhaoxue asked. Zhaoxue didn't know much about Murong Ziyi in his past life. He only felt that he had always been conceited and was extremely ruthless in his dealings with others, so he was tentative.

Just ask.

Murong Ziyi frowned: "Why would cousin Zhaoxue ask this question? Since ancient times, women have not discussed court affairs, and there are outsiders here at this time. If anything goes wrong, how should I explain it to my father?"

"Third cousin, every man has his own rules for the rise and fall of a country. Moreover, Zhaoxue only asked third cousin if the government was stable, and did not ask third cousin to tell any secrets." Zhaoxue immediately retorted, but it was the same in the past life and this life. She and Murongzi

Yi has always been tit-for-tat and rarely has moments of calm.

Murong Ziyi choked, and by chance the maid came up with tea, served tea for the four of them, and then left.

Situ Chen frowned, turned his head, and saw a figure running past not far away, and suddenly disappeared, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

"Cousin Zhaoxue came here at night just to ask me this question?" Murong Ziyi looked at Murong Zhaoxue closely and then said: "Well, everything is fine now."

"Third Prince, do you have a guest?" Zhao Xue was about to speak when Situ Chen suddenly asked.

Murong Ziyi's eyes flashed slightly, but his face remained calm, and he shook his head: "Master Situ, why did you say this? It was getting so late, and Ziyi was getting ready to go to bed. Who would have thought about Master Situ, cousin Zhaoxue, and Lord Qinkui?

So I came to visit.”

Situ Chen smiled softly and shook his head: "Chen just asked casually. The main reason we came here today is to invite the third prince to go fishing in Qin Lake tomorrow."

Murong Ziyi frowned, doubts flashed in his eyes, and asked: "How did Mr. Situ think of going fishing in Qin Lake?"

"It's rare for Chen to come to Beijing, so he wants to have fun. Hearing that there are many crucian carp in Qin Lake, he wanted to catch a few of them himself, so he just invited Xue'er to invite people. Just now he went to Prince Xuan's Mansion to invite the second prince, and also invited

The third prince must appreciate it!" Situ Chen said with a faint smile, looking at Murong Ziyi all the time.

Murong Ziyi also looked at him, even more confused in her heart, but saw that he had an open face, as if he really came here for fishing, and thought for a while: "Yi has something to deal with tomorrow..."

"Third Prince, are you so disrespectful to Chen?" Situ Chen immediately interrupted him, still smiling lightly.

Murong Zhaoxue and Qin Kui both glanced at Situ Chen secretly, slightly confused.

"Third cousin, it's rare that Mr. Situ is so elegant and cheerful. Please let me go with you as a favor." Zhao Xue also spoke up. Although she didn't know the purpose of Situ Chen doing this, she believed that he must be doing this.

There is a reason.
