Lock Xin

A slender figure flashed in the corridor, the light blue skirt fluttered with her steps, and the bracelet on the slender wrist swayed slightly, making a sound like a silver bell.The pale yellow hair was loosely braided and fell to the shoulders.

Her skin is extremely fair and delicate, and her big blue eyes under the curved willow-leaf eyebrows are like Zhu Dan.She walked to the door and slowly stopped her hasty steps, holding the tray in her slender hands, and a smile appeared on her sweet face.

The maid stepped forward and reached out to gently open the door, "Princess."

"Come in." Zi Xin looked at the scroll in her hand without looking up, brushing the corner of the page with her fingertips.

"Yes." The maid bowed her head and approached the room, and she put a plate of delicate pastries in front of Zi Xin.

"Wangfei's cakes are freshly made, you'd better taste them while they are still hot, if they get cold, the taste may change." Seeing that Zi Xin hadn't touched the cakes in front of her, the maid couldn't help but stepped forward to remind her.

"I'll eat it later, you go down first." Zi Xin just had tea, and now she has no interest in looking at the steaming pastries.

"Princess, my lord invites you to the racecourse." The maid looked at Zi Xin's indifferent face and lowered her head slightly.

Zi Xin frowned. Ye Luning mentioned this a few days ago, but he rejected it. Zi Xin didn't expect Ye Lu Ning to be obsessed with it, but he has a lot of work recently, so he doesn't have too much free time. .

"Where is the Lord now?" Zixin wanted to say no, but he was a little worried that Yeluning was already waiting for him at the racetrack.

"The lord is discussing with the ministers. After the palace meeting is over, the lord will ride with the princess." The maid replied, and she slightly raised her head to look at the expression on Zixin's face.

Zi Xin closed the scroll in front of her, got up and walked towards the door.Since Yeluning has already made arrangements, he has nothing to worry about.Since leaving the racecourse that time, Zixin has never forgotten the joy of running freely on the grass on the back of a fine horse, but even if he yearns for this kind of relaxing happiness, he will never beg Yeluning to accompany him Go to the racecourse.

There was a cold smile on the maid's face, and she hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the door.

Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, a large spot of light was reflected on Zi Xin's cheeks, slightly dazzling, Zi Xin couldn't help turning her body sideways, the broken hair on her forehead slid down to cover her slender eyebrows, and it was slightly dazzling from a distance. There is a touch of melancholic beauty.

"Princess, this way." The maid walked at the entrance of the corridor, pointing to the winding path in front of her.

Zi Xin nodded. Although he had only walked through it once, he still had some vague impressions in his mind.

The maid walked faster and faster. She looked sideways at the slight displeasure between Zi Xin's brows, and said softly, "Princess, let's go quickly. If you are not seen in the racecourse after the Lord's meeting is over, I'm afraid I'll blame the servants for neglecting this matter."

"You don't have to worry too much, there is still a little time before the end of the palace meeting." Zixin looked at the green branches and leaves around him and walked. Saying something here and there, time will gradually pass by, maybe they may not be able to see Yeluning even if they rush over in a hurry.

The maid followed Zi Xin's leisurely footsteps, and stomped hard, "The Lord said that after the princess arrives at the racecourse, she can ride a horse for a few laps, and she doesn't have to stand still and wait for the Lord."

Zixin recalled that bloody horse, and didn't know how the Xiongnu animal trainer trained the horse, but it treated him like a stranger, and let him ride it safely.

The maid clenched her pale pink sleeves and walked slowly beside Zi Xin. Seeing the people around her stop, she looked a little nervous, and took a step back to seal Zi Xin's back.

"This road doesn't lead to the racecourse." Zi Xin looked into the eyes of the maid. This road was very familiar. He remembered that he seemed to have walked it once, but he couldn't remember where it eventually led.

"Why not? The corridors in the palace are quite complicated, and there are many roads leading to the racecourse. Before the master, in order to spend more time with you, he chose the longest road. Now, it is natural for the servant to treat you to the racecourse. It can't be like this anymore." The maid lowered her head and explained, Zi Xin seldom took a step out of the door, she didn't expect that Zi Xin could see the scrutiny of this road.

Although Zixin felt that something was wrong, he didn't notice anything unusual at all. He paused and walked forward slowly, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Seeing that Zi Xin had listened to her explanation, the maid slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zixin looked at the dark green vines beside him, and a thought came to his mind, but it quickly dissipated. He suddenly turned to look at the maid beside him, "That day, Yeluning and I were the only ones going to the racecourse, so what did you do?" Know Yeluning's thoughts. You are just a maid, Yeluning should not talk too much to you."

"The words just now were just random guesses by the maidservants to please the princess." There was a hint of pleading in the maid's voice, she didn't expect that she would be mistaken by her cleverness, it was originally an explanation, but Zixin saw it carefully.

Zixin approached and looked at the beautiful face of the maid, "You should not be the maid next to Yeluning."

"Why?" The maid looked up at Zi Xin in astonishment, and opened her mouth to ask.There are too many maids around Yeluning, and Zi Xin has not seen all of them, how did he know his identity.

"Yeluning hates the smell of makeup, but you have a faint scent of rouge." Zixin said slowly, the more elegant the fragrance of makeup, the more expensive it is, and ordinary maids probably don't have so much money, and this smell is similar to Mu Qi's. The fragrance has the same effect, presumably she should be Mu Qi's personal maid.

"If I'm not mistaken, this road should lead to the outside of the Huns' imperial city." Zi Xin glanced at the ornaments on the maid, a bronze medal hanging under her belt was mostly covered by her clothes.

Seeing that Zi Xin had seen through everything, the maid slowly stood up straight, the weakness on her face gradually faded, and looked at Zi Xin coldly, "I'm here to send the princess out of the city, doesn't the princess feel happy at all?"

"Why did you take me away? If Yeluning finds that my figure has disappeared, he will never let you go." Zixin didn't expect that Mu Qi's intention was just that, and it turned out that he underestimated Mu Qi's IQ.

Mu Qi didn't know how to use any means at all, he was just blindly savage, no wonder Yeluning didn't like him anymore.

"Princess don't worry about this, King Mu naturally has a way to settle everything." The maid took out the palace card from her waist and put it in her hand, "I hope the concubine can leave with me as soon as possible, otherwise when the lord finds out that you are missing, we will Don’t even think about leaving the city gate.”

Zixin looked at the waist card that was close at hand and slowly lowered his raised hand. Perhaps he had hoped to leave Yeluning and the imperial city that imprisoned him, and even if he fled back to Dachu, what was the point? The emperor had made him swear that he would never step into Dachu in his lifetime.

Besides, Yeluning treated him really well, since he accepted the pendant, he would never break his promise, but it doesn't matter if he stays with Yeluning safely for a few years.He believed that Yeluning would not deceive him, and would definitely let him go when the crown prince ascended the throne.

"The princess was rude to you a few days ago, but the princess is also thinking of you. Firstly, you can leave the Xiongnu and return to Dachu, and secondly, the princess can always be with you forever." The maid saw Zi Xin still stood there indifferently, he couldn't help pushing the token in his hand towards Zi Xin's.

"I appreciate the princess's kindness, but I don't want to leave the Xiongnu just yet." Zi Xin turned and walked back.If he really wanted to leave, the Xiongnu Imperial City would never be able to trap him, but he didn't want his reckless actions to hurt the people around him.

"Why, is the concubine willing to continue to stay with the lord in humiliation?" The maid stretched out her hand to stop Zi Xin. If this fails, the lord will definitely suspect the princess.

Zixin laughed lightly, the humiliation was only in the eyes of outsiders, and Yeluning never really forced him, but he humiliated Yeluning.Zi Xin originally thought that Yeluning would become angry, but he didn't expect that Yeluning would still treat him even more gently.

"If the concubine doesn't want to leave, then the maidservant will do it herself." The maid swiped the long whip in her sleeve and hit Zi Xin's cheek, Zi Xin turned sideways to avoid it, and stretched out her hand to grab the maid's sleeve.

The maid took advantage of the situation and fell beside Zi Xin. Zi Xin felt bad when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance. He wanted to push the person in front of him away, but the maid stuck to him like leather candy.

"Princess, please don't leave anymore. It's not too late for you to leave after the maidservant tells the Lord." The maid took advantage of the chaos and held the token in Zixin's hand.

Yeluning saw the pale golden token in Zixin's hand from a distance, and a little pain gradually spread in his heart, and the pain became deeper and deeper, as if piercing into the lungs.On the day of his birthday, he put a pendant on Zi Xin with his own hands. Seeing the smile on Zi Xin's face, he was really happy. He even thought that Zi Xin would accept his heart and love the child in his womb after a while.

It turned out that all this was just his disappointment, Zi Xin never let go of the resentment towards him, the peace that came today was just a temporary compromise, just to make him relax his vigilance.

"Do you want to leave me?" Yeluning walked towards Zi Xin step by step, his eyes were full of pain, he had tried his best, why couldn't he get Zi Xin's sincerity.He didn't want to treat his father as cruelly as his father, but Zixin really chilled him.

Zixin looked at the chill on Yeluning's face, shook her head slightly, but couldn't say anything, he was plotted by Mu Qi, maybe her purpose was not to take him out of the palace but to turn them against each other.

"Since you hate me, why did you still accept my intentions that day? Did Zixin feel that it would be a pleasure to get revenge by playing me around?" Yeluning threw the waist card in Zixin's hand to the ground with all his strength, but he was naive. Thinking that she could get Zi Xin's heart, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep soundly all night.

"Speak." Yeluning grabbed Zi Xin by the collar and slammed him on the red pillar.

Zixin looked at Yeluning's crazy eyes, lowered his head slightly, raised his hand and put it down slowly, a blood stain overflowed from the corner of his pale mouth, Yeluning refused to believe him, and asked him how to explain.

"Come and bring the princess back to the room. Without my order, no one should step in." Yeluning put down her hand forcefully, turned and left.Even if Zixin hated him, he would never let Zixin leave the Xiongnu.

"Let go, I'll go by myself." Zi Xin looked coldly at the approaching attendants, the pain in her chest and lungs intensified.
