The heroine wants to repay

Royal garden at night.

The two stared at each other with big eyes.

Shu Man cleared her throat embarrassingly, wanted to explain, but felt it was unnecessary, patted the hem of her clothes, turned around and was about to leave.

She never thought that just as she took two steps, the little girl behind her hugged her thigh.

"Immortal." The little girl timidly looked up at her, her bright eyes were black and white in the dark night, "Can you teach me martial arts?"

Teach her martial arts?

Shu Man lowered her head and refused hesitantly: "No, no."

The little girl turned her eyes away in a moment of disappointment, squatting on the ground with a small and thin figure, just looking at it makes people feel pity.

"It's late at night." Shu Man's heart turned cold, she shook off the little girl's hand, stepped out of the palace wall a few steps, and left a sentence, "Rest early."

Suddenly, the little girl followed Shu Man's figure and looked at the empty palace wall, and then lowered her head to look at the half piece of cloth tightly clenched in her hand, as if she had found a treasure, and carefully put it away in the lapel.

Shu Man didn't go far, seeing the little girl staggering out of the imperial garden step by step, she turned over and went down the palace wall.

The hemp rope that she had cut earlier was scattered on the ground, and the other end was still hanging on the treetop, obviously someone else did it.

Unexpectedly, in the seemingly peaceful harem, there are still many grievances hidden behind the scenes.

I searched for a night.

Shu Man searched almost all over the imperial garden, but couldn't even find the shadow of Ye Mingzhu.

She yawned, thinking of going back to catch up on her sleep, and when she woke up, she would go and ask the third princess that the imperial concubine was talking about.

The sky was still a misty blue.

The alleys of the imperial city were already noisy.

When Shu Man came to the door, she was suddenly stopped by Aunt Li on the street.

Aunt Li is in the omelette business and relies on the laying hens at home to lay eggs for a living.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the number of laying hens raised by my aunt’s family suddenly disappeared, which scared her so much that she couldn’t sleep well all night, and she was looking for someone to help find chickens.

Fortunately, Shu Man helped in time and found the laying hen stuck in the dog hole in the alley next door, which solved Aunt Li's urgent need.

For this reason, Aunt Li is very grateful to Shu Man, and whenever she sees her on the street, she can't help calling her over to eat omelets.

After a busy night, Shu Man smelled the aroma of cakes and couldn't help feeling hungry.

She accepted Aunt Li's favor, secretly stuffed two copper coins into the purse next to the pan, and sat down.

There were two tall young men at the same table, dressed in dark pattern robes, like guards guarding the palace gate.

"Oh, I did something bad last night."

As soon as Shu Man took her seat, she heard one of them asking the man beside her in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you? You're so worried."

"It's the fifth princess of the court girl. I didn't know how to anger the third princess yesterday. She was tied up and hung from a tree as soon as it got dark. The superiors specially said that we, the guards of the imperial garden, wouldn't care if we saw it." Put her down secretly."

Last night, people were tied up and hanged from trees.

Shu Man caught a few key words in a daze, and suddenly woke up.

It turned out that the person she saved last night was the fifth princess.

really.

Good-looking, miserable life experience, either the protagonist or the villain.

【The host's premonition can be said to be very accurate】

Shu Man: [So is she the protagonist or the villain? 】

【I will not tell you】

Shu Man: […]

Just when Shu Man was thinking, the man who heard it widened his eyes, and said with panic in his expression: "You are crazy, that is a princess! No matter how humble her background is, she is still a princess."

"I have seniors and juniors here, how dare I confront the superior? If I lose this job, my daughter-in-law will scold me again." The guard sighed secretly, then changed his mind and said, "But I went to patrol this morning. At that time, I looked at the treetop, and there was no one on it."

"It's probably because the third princess is merciful." The person next to her echoed, "The fifth princess is only nine years old this year. If she really hangs up for such a night, can she still have her life?"

"The imperial concubine is deeply doted on. Even if the three princesses cause trouble, the emperor may turn a blind eye."

The two looked at each other, sighed a few times, and did not continue this topic.

Serve hot omelets.

Shu Man numbly took a bite, thinking of the thin girl last night, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After going through several worlds, the heroine has more or less been hurt by her family, but even in ancient times, she is still not immune.

Shu Man: [If I were the fifth princess, I would be tied up like this for a whole night, it would be hard not to turn black. 】

【Oh Excuse】

Shu Man: 【If the villain changes his ways, will it affect the plot? 】

Out of conscience, Shu Man moved a little to change the little girl's mind.

【probably will】

Shu Man: [Is there any consequence of affecting the plot? 】

[The heroine cannot complete the task, all the hosts are stagnant in this world]

Shu Man was taken aback, that's all, assuming that everyone is a tool person, she quickly threw away those thoughts that shouldn't be had.

Thinking of this, Shu Man came back to her senses, but her mouth was burning hot.

It's over.

She was thinking too much just now, and stuffed the pancake that was just out of the pan into her mouth. Now her lips are hot and red and swollen.

Go back and rest for half a day.

In the evening, Shu Man entered the palace again.

Knowing the whereabouts of the imperial concubine, she went straight to the third princess' bedroom this time.

The third princess was not there yet, after getting permission from the palace servants, Shu Man searched for the night pearl in the empty place outside the palace.

Ye Mingzhu is about the size of a fist, even if it is lost in the weeds, you can find it if you look closely.

After a while, Shu Man found out the night pearl wrapped in plaster in the corner of the courtyard, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It was a worthwhile trip.

Shu Man wiped the night pearl casually, and was about to put the brocade belt in, when she suddenly heard a few children laughing wantonly across the wall.

Curiously, she turned over the wall, and saw several luxuriously dressed little girls gathered around the lotus pond, smiling and hugging as if they were watching something exciting.

"Hmph, I told you to provoke me, but you don't even look at who I am and who you are." The little girl in the lead crossed her arms and said arrogantly to the river, "Calling you a princess is flattering you, really. Take yourself seriously, in fact, you are not even as good as a court lady."

Shu Man finally saw clearly that there was a person who fell into the water hidden among the layers of lotus leaves.

From what the little girl said, the person in the pool must be the fifth princess she saved last night.

"Eighth Sister, Tenth Sister, let's go."

Before she could figure it out, the evil little girl waved her hand and left with the two younger sisters behind her.

The lotus pond is not deep, but there are greasy moss on the edge of the pond.

The fifth princess climbed several times, but couldn't get ashore every time.

Seeing that she lost all her strength and her movements became slower and slower, Shu Man couldn't bear it, so she took a few steps to the shore in the air, and stretched out her hand to hold the fifth princess' wrist.

With a slight movement, the wet person was pulled ashore by Shu Man.

"Fairy!"

Seeing the person coming, the fifth princess's eyes were full of surprise.

She was in a terrible panic at the moment, her pink shirt was sticking to her body and kept dripping water, and there were two lotus leaves hanging on her messy hair, but she had no time to take care of it, her big eyes were staring at Shu Man without daring to blink.

"What?" Shu Man glanced at her coldly, deliberately suppressing her emotions.

The fifth princess panicked for a moment, fearing that Shu Man would not like it, she hurriedly lowered her head, pinched her slender fingers back and forth awkwardly, and spoke with fear and sincerity.

"Did you come here specially to save me?"

Shu Man looked helplessly at the sky, and now she really wanted to ask the system why every time she entered the palace, she was always a hero to save the beauty!
