Wei Yi? It's really you?
Soon after.
Sui 'er had no choice but to brace herself and bring the food from the imperial kitchen to the princess.
She paused at the door.
She first poked her head inside, but there was no one in the room, and it was extremely quiet.
Sui 'er had never been here before, nor had she seen Jing Xuan. Therefore, she couldn't help but feel curious and apprehensive. She took a few deep breaths before cautiously walking in.
"Your Highness?"
His voice reverberated in the huge bedchamber, creating echoes.
Sui 'er didn't see anyone in the outer hall, so she brought the food into the inner hall. She happened to see Jing Xuan taking down a thin cloak from the screen.
"Your Highness, let this servant do it."
Sui 'er hurriedly put down the things in her hands and took the cloak, carefully draping it over Jing Xuan.
"Your Highness, are you going out?"
Jing Xuan had never seen this girl before.
"Which palace are you from?"
"This servant has just been transferred to Zhangzhi Hall."
"Where's Duan 'er?"
"Elder Sister Duan 'er isn't feeling well, so she sent this servant to bring the food to Your Highness."
A question and an answer!
Jing Xuan's eyes turned cold as she looked at the food on the table. She pushed away Sui 'er, who was tying the cloak for her.
The moment the two greyish-white straps left her hands, the cloak slid off her body and onto the ground.
It fell limply by her feet.
Sui 'er thought she had said something wrong again. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and lowered her head in fright. "This servant knows her mistake. Please spare me, Your Highness."
No matter what she did wrong, it was always right to admit it first.
Jing Xuan glanced at her. "Take the food away. I'm not hungry."
"Your Highness …"
"Why are you so scared? Get up. "
"Yes."
Sui 'er stood up shakily, but she didn't dare to straighten her back.
"Pick it up." Jing Xuan's voice was very cold and weak.
Sui 'er didn't dare to say anything else. She hurriedly picked up the cloak, patted the dust off it, and carefully draped it over Jing Xuan.
Jing Xuan also noticed the injury on her face.
She asked calmly, "What's wrong with your face?"
Sui 'er tensed up. Her eyes wavered. "This servant accidentally fell."
"Fell on your face?"
"Yes."
Hehe.
Jing Xuan sneered. She knew very well that the palace maids of Zhangzhi Hall usually didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. They walked and did everything carefully, so how could they fall like this?
She tilted her head and reached out to touch Sui 'er's face. Her gaze was cold as she said, "Is she holding a knife? Or porcelain pieces? Or scissors? "
Ugh!
Sui 'er shuddered.
His eyes widened.
Like a devil, Jing Xuan slowly moved her hand from the gauze on Sui 'er's face to her chin. Then, she pinched it and lifted it up.
He forced the girl to look at him.
"Princess?"
"I think she must have pinched you like this, then used the scissors she used to cut flowers and cut your face bit by bit, right?"
The voice sounded like it came from a bottomless abyss, making one's hair stand on end.
It was as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Sui 'er swore that even when Concubine Xiao scratched her face, she wasn't as terrified as she was now.
No wonder no one was willing to serve this princess.
So, she was crazy!
He was crazy to the point of being a little abnormal.
Sui 'er didn't dare to move. She looked at Ji Yunshu with fear in her eyes.
Until Jing Xuan released her. "Are you very afraid of me?"
"No … I'm not."
"Heh heh, I'm not as vicious as she is. I won't take your life."
"Thank … thank you, Princess."
Jing Xuan smiled. Her smile was very gentle.
That smile seemed to be full of thorns, piercing the little girl in front of her with holes all over her body.
"That's enough. Hurry up and take these things away."
With that, she walked out of the hall.
Sui 'er stood there in a daze for a long time before she came to her senses.
She hurriedly carried the things out and bowed. "This servant takes her leave."
Just as she was about to leave —
"Wait." Jing Xuan stopped her.
"What other instructions does Princess have?"
"Duan 'er isn't here. Help me comb my hair." She sat in front of the mirror.
Sui 'er was terrified. "This servant …
This servant has never combed my master's hair before. I'm worried I won't do a good job. "
"It's fine. Come here."
"Yes."
With trembling hands, Sui 'er used the comb to comb her hair. She didn't dare to use too much force and was still very careful.
Jing Xuan opened a brocade box and picked out a piece of jewelry. She played with it in her hands and asked through the mirror, "Do you like it?"
Sui 'er nodded.
Jing Xuan raised her hand and inserted the hairpin into her hair. "If you like, you can take all the jewelry here."
"I wouldn't dare."
"Why wouldn't I dare? You deserve it. "
Huh?
Deserved?
Sui 'er did not understand.
Jing Xuan said, "I'm afraid that the scar on your face will follow you for the rest of your life. Imperial Mother owes you a debt that she will never be able to repay."
Oh!
So that's what it meant.
Sui 'er hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand. "It was this servant who spoke out of turn and made Her Ladyship unhappy. This servant deserves to be punished."
At that moment, Jing Xuan's gaze deepened. Her thin and cold lips curled up, and a cold glint appeared in her phoenix eyes.
"Wrong? What is wrong? What is right? Everything is up to her. " Jing Xuan laughed coldly, but her eyes regained their calm. She asked Sui 'er with a gentle smile, "Is there anyone else in your family?"
"No. This servant is the only one left."
"Then do you want to follow me?"
"Huh?"
"On the day I get married, I'll take you to Huyi."
"Huh!"
Another "Ah!" was heard.
Jing Xuan asked, "You're not willing to follow me?"
"No, it's this servant's honor to follow the Princess, but … not now."
"Why?"
"Her Ladyship wants this servant to take care of that fool," she said honestly.
Fool?
Jing Xuan looked at her doubtfully. "What fool? How could there be such a fool in the palace? "
Sui 'er said, "It's that fool that Your Highness brought into the palace before. Her Ladyship brought him into the palace a few days ago and has locked him up in that room on the west side, with this servant taking care of him."
Wei Yi?
Jing Xuan frowned. "Why did Imperial Mother bring him into the palace?"
"This servant doesn't know." She shook her head and continued, "He asked this servant to find some bamboo sticks and paper for him, as well as some brushes, ink, and paper. He said he wanted to make lanterns."
As for why that fool wanted to make lanterns, she didn't know.
Jing Xuan was puzzled. Wei Yi had left the capital with Prince Rong and Ji Yunshu several months ago. Why was Wei Yi in the capital now?
And in Zhangzhi Hall?
What about Ji Yunshu?
What about Prince Rong?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
She pondered for a long time, then said, "Sui 'er, from today onwards, you will stay with me. But you must continue to take care of that fool, understand?"
"Yes."
"Doesn't he want those brushes, ink, paper, and ink? Prepare to give them to him. "
"Yes."
Sui 'er agreed. She felt that this princess wasn't that scary after all!
That night.
Jing Xuan took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the hall to put on some clothes and leave the palace with a lantern.
In a short while, she arrived outside the room where Wei Yi was locked up.
There was no one outside, and the door was locked.
She took out a key from somewhere and opened the door.
There was only one lantern inside. When the door opened, a breeze blew in and extinguished the flame.
It was pitch-black!
Fortunately, Jing Xuan still had a lantern in her hand.
She brought the lantern closer and saw that Wei Yi was still sitting cross-legged on the floor, looking up at her.
However, because of the light, he instinctively tilted his head.
