On the fifth day after returning to the palace, Zhao Xuan was sitting by the window, embroidering shapeless birds on the embroidery frame, her complexion numb.

After less than a stick of incense, Aunt Li got up again to check her results.

Unsurprisingly, Aunt Li started what she thought was funny ridicule——

"What kind of rare and exotic beast is the princess embroidering? A few days ago, I was still thinking about it. Maybe when it takes shape, I can see what it is embroidering. I didn't expect it to become more and more unpredictable now!"

The two younger sisters, who were also learning embroidery, burst out laughing.

Zhao Xuan poker-faced, inserted the needle into the "monster" she embroidered, stood up, and said calmly: "I'm tired, go back to my room and rest."

Aunt Li hurried forward, blocked her way, and said severely: "The princess has only been embroidering for half an hour now! The Empress Empress is coming soon, if this drags on, what will you bring to the palace to show your filial piety?"

Zhao Xuan looked at her coldly: "Aren't you very good at needlework? Why don't you just embroider for me?"

Aunt Li's face was filled with shock and anger: "Who dares to lie to the mother of a country for you! If this is reported, the slave's life is insignificant, and the princess will get into big trouble, and maybe even the prince will be implicated!"

Zhao Xuan snorted indifferently: "So, if I can't embroider the finished product in the past few days, it will be a serious crime of copying and beheading?"

Everyone in the room suddenly gasped.

Aunt Li was full of anger, and said in a sharp voice: "How can the princess say such rebellious words? It must be heard by the prince..."

Zhao Xuan didn't bother to listen to her threats, turned on her toes, ran out of the sewing room, went back to her own room, and locked the door.

Not long after, Aunt Li's exasperated shout came from outside the door, getting closer and closer.

Then, the door was slammed.

Zhao Xuan put her back against the door, as if she was afraid that Aunt Li would knock the door open.

She believed that this woman dared to do this. Ever since she ran away from home and came back on her own initiative, what her father said about giving her freedom was all false.

On the contrary, the gap between her and her father became more and more severe, and the servants would file a complaint casually, and her father would be furious at her in exchange.

The father will never believe her excuses again, just like what Sang Nuo said, the false persuasion of the father is all to trick her into returning to the palace.

Now, there are guards everywhere in the backyard, so naturally she cannot fulfill her promise of "visiting often", and Sanno must be very disappointed.

What made Zhao Xuan most desperate was that Cui Liu was killed with a stick.

That timid but loyal servant girl lost her life because she allowed her to escape willfully.

Zhao Xuan leaned against the trembling door panel, slowly slid on the ground, and closed her eyes.

Thinking of all the memories of growing up with Cui Liu, tears kept rolling down from under the eyelashes.

She didn't know whether she should hate her father for breaking her promise, or hate herself for being self-willed.

Aunt Li was furious outside the door, she gritted her teeth and said: "Princess, if you don't come out again, this servant will go to ask the princess for instructions! This servant can't bear to scold you, but you are so unseemly, and you will be the one who suffers when you marry someone later." Myself! This servant is dedicated to mastering the Lord, and cannot lead you down like that lowly son of Cui Liu!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to go to the main room to complain to the princess, but she heard the door creak behind her——

The princess said in a hoarse voice: "Come back."

Aunt Li immediately showed a smug expression on her face, she turned around gloatingly, stepped forward and said, "That's right, as long as the princess is obedient, it will save people a little bit of worry..."

Zhao Xuan interrupted her and said coldly: "Kneel down and apologize to Cui Liu immediately."

Aunt Li was taken aback for a moment. Now that the little princess has separated from the prince and concubine, she still dares to put on airs of her master!

Knowing that the Princess has a deep relationship with that dead girl Cui Liu, Aunt Li sneered and deliberately stabbed her: "What is the meaning of the Princess? That beast Cui Liu has the guts to deceive the prince and concubine and lead you out of the palace." , even death can’t wash away your sins!”

With a muffled "Plop", Aunt Li's cursing stopped abruptly and turned into a mournful wail!

She was kicked by Zhao Xuan and fell to the ground, clutching her stomach and rolling all over the floor.

Zhao Xuan stepped forward, kicked Aunt Li's left shoulder, making her face the blue brick, then knelt down on one knee, put her knee against her back, grabbed her wrist with one hand, and pulled her back.

Aunt Li howled in pain like killing a pig!

Zhao Xuan said coldly: "Apologize to Cui Liu."

"Come here! The chief of the county has murdered and fled!" Aunt Li yelled towards the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Xuan made a sudden force, and there was a crisp "click", twisting her arm into a terrible angle.

Aunt Li's cry was like a prey whose hind legs were torn apart by a wild beast. She gradually weakened in despair, and finally she was no match for the heart-piercing pain. She cried and begged for mercy: "It's my servant's fault! Your Highness, please spare me!"

Zhao Xuan said blankly: "I asked you to apologize to Cui Liu."

Aunt Li cried out in pain: "Yes, yes! Girl Cui Liu, please spare her life, but this servant is a lowly child! This servant will make up for you!"

There was a sound of rustling footsteps, accompanied by the sound of clanging iron objects, and the guards with swords outside the inner courtyard trotted into the courtyard in neat steps, surrounding the two women who were struggling.

With her head down, Zhao Xuan was escorted to the main courtyard by the soldiers, as if heading to the guillotine.

-

Sang Nuo stood in front of the bronze mirror in the jewelry store, put on a pair of jade earrings, turned his head, and smiled at the young man in green beside him.

The young master stared straight at him, swallowed a mouthful, and hurriedly asked in a warm voice: "Which pair do you like?"

Sang Nuo sneered, and looked back at the bronze mirror: "Guess, guess wrong, don't come to me in the future."

The young man in Tsing Yi's face turned pale, and the naive expression on his face disappeared instantly. He lowered his head and looked at the five pairs of earrings in front of San Nuo in a panic.

After pondering for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said pleasantly: "I bought it all! I bought it all! The shopkeeper..."

"Wait." Sang Nuo whispered slowly: "No, I can only choose a pair." She turned her head and raised a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said softly to the young man like a whisper: "You guessed right, someone will give you a pair tonight." You warm the bed."

The young man in Tsing Yi was swept away by that look, and his bones were half-crushed. He was stunned for a long time, and his eyes looked at San Nuo's bun——

She still had the purple jade hairpin on.

I used to see her serving dishes in the tea house, and she often wore this hairpin.

She must love purple!

The young man in Tsing Yi couldn't contain his excitement, he hurriedly grabbed the pair of amethyst earrings on the table, held them in front of Sannuo with trembling hands: "It's this pair, you like this pair, am I right?"

The corners of San Nuo's mouth curled up slowly, and a pair of fox eyes glowed with satisfaction. She raised her hand to hook the young man's neck, and silently opened and closed her mouth: "True, smart, bright."

The young man in Tsing Yi's eyes twitched excitedly, and he couldn't wait to reach out and hold San Nuo's waist...

"Get out of the way!" A woman shouted suddenly from beside her.

The young man in Tsing Yi was suddenly pushed against the table by an arm, he turned his head in surprise, and saw another shopkeeper of the tea house standing in front of him, grabbing the wrist of his little beauty with a face of resentment, and rushed out of the shop aggressively Door!

"What are you doing! Let go of San Nuo!" Young Master Tsing Yi hurriedly chased him out.

Ling'er grabbed San Nuo's wrist and turned around, stared at him fiercely, and threatened: "If you dare to follow us again, I will report to the police and say you are molesting a civilian girl!"

Sang Nuo was dragged all the way back to the bedroom on the second floor of the tea house by Ling'er, without struggling, with a bored look on his face.

Ling'er closed the door angrily, turned around, glared at her viciously, and asked Xing Shi: "Is it the estrus period for mountain foxes recently?"

Sang Nuo ignored her humiliation, sat down at the Eight Immortals table, and said slowly: "Be quiet, Dudu is still sleeping."

Ling'er strode to the table and stared at her condescendingly: "What exactly do you want?"

Sang Nuo looked up at her, and asked innocently: "Didn't you see it all? Find a man for entertainment."

"But you said..." Ling'er frowned and lowered her voice: "You are only interested in women!"

Sang Nuo took a long breath, and muttered: "Then what can I do? You know, the princess has never come to me, and I can't wait like this forever. I have to find someone to relieve my boredom, right? I figured it out, It's too difficult to seduce a woman to fall in love with me, and we don't have a reputation together, and it's difficult to last long, so I don't pay much attention to it at all."

Ling'er frowned, paused for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Have you been haunted by a ghost, or have you been resurrected with a dead body? I will take you to the mountain god to have a look."

Sang Nuo raised the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Look at what you said, if I find a good friend, I will become a ghost? What do you want other vixens to do? When you were in Qingqiu Mountain, didn't you also find a bunch of concubines?" ?”

Ling'er said coldly: "At that time, I had no advantages, and I had to make a living. Now we have a business to make money, but you want to do these dirty things instead!"

Sang Nuo sneered and said, "Finding a good friend is a low-level job? Don't you like that I really like him?"

Ling'er frowned and said, "What do you know about sincerity? You have never fallen in love with anyone! You only enjoy humiliating yourself!"

Sang Nuo squinted at her: "Who said no?"

Linger smiled and said: "Then tell me who you fell in love with? The princess of the palace? Because she abandoned you, so you are willing to degenerate? She has lived with us for five days in total, yo, but It's love at first sight that shocks the world and tears the ghosts and gods."

Sang Nuo laughed: "Princess? If you don't tell me, I'd almost forget it. Of course it's not her. The person I fell in love with is locked up in Tianyu Mountain! Hahahaha..."

When Ling'er heard this, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she stared straight at her like a lightning strike.

Sang Nuo couldn't stop laughing, stood up, put his small face in front of Linger, stared at her with a pair of smiling fox eyes, and asked, "Why don't you talk? The little demon is still waiting for you to teach me a lesson, Linger Sister, do you remember? On the day His Majesty was sealed, he kept holding my hand..."

The innocent smile on Sang Nuo's face suddenly turned cold, he stared at Ling'er gloomyly, and said in a low voice, "It's you! It's you who have been dragging me and not letting me go in to accompany you!"

Ling'er seemed to be struck by five thunders, and the situation of that day clearly appeared in her mind——

Yes... That's right, His Majesty was holding San Nuo's hand all the time, no matter how Aunt Mei and the others cried and shouted, His Majesty was always staring at San Nuo alone.

She remembered again that San Nuo had always had a bad face before, lost his temper at every turn, and made small temper in front of his lord, but he had never been scolded.

Ling'er realized it later, her hands and feet were cold in an instant, and she stared at San Nuo in disbelief.

No wonder this little fox used to guard himself like a jade, and even Fei Lian didn't look down on him. It turns out...it turned out to be climbing a towering branch...

Ling'er couldn't remember what happened that day when the mountains fell and the ground cracked, but she did remember that she hugged San Nuo desperately and pulled her out!

Guilt and helplessness suddenly surged in her heart, and she hesitated and said, "I... I don't know you... I'm sorry, San Nuo, I'm sorry!"

Linger grabbed her arm, but Sang Nuo suddenly threw her away, bent over and swung his arm, knocking all the teacups on the table to the ground, and with the explosion of ceramic shattering, she yelled like crazy : "What's the use of being sorry!"

Ling'er was at a loss, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I was afraid that you would be imprisoned in the barrier."

Sang Nuo tilted his head to look at her, and suddenly showed a smile that was uglier than crying. With tears in his eyes, he nodded and said, "I'm afraid too...I'm afraid too...so..."

Tears rolled down her face, she grinned and choked with sobs in a low voice: "So I abandoned that dragon cub, just because I was afraid..."
