Chapter 1558

"Then what happened after that? Where is your little sister now? Your parents and family? "Chen Ning asked.

She never knew Xiao Si's background. She had only heard Mo Chuan mention that he had entered the palace as a eunuch when he was young. This was the first time she had heard Xiao Si mention his family.

"This servant's parents are both dead."

Xiao Si raised his head and revealed a sad expression, "When this servant was young, there was a drought in my hometown, so my parents brought me and my little sister away from home. We begged all the way to the capital city, wanting to rely on our relatives, but we couldn't take the hunger on the way, so we sold this servant's little sister to a family. Afterwards, my little sister's money was used up and my parents starved to death, leaving me alone. I followed a group of beggars to the capital city and heard that as long as I entered the palace, I would have food to eat and clothes to wear, so I entered the palace to become a eunuch. As expected, the days in the palace are much better than when I was a beggar. I have good food to eat, good clothes to wear, and I even met a good master like the emperor … …"

Saying this, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had unknowingly fallen from his face. He suddenly realized something and said, "Look at this servant's mouth, what nonsense is this servant saying? How could this servant mention these old matters in front of the empress? This servant will not say it in the future, not even a single word."

Chen Ning looked at his thin face and gave a soft sigh. Then she said in a gentle voice, "Xiao Si, I never thought that your background would be this pitiful. You are a lonely person and Xiao Ru has lost her parents. She was sold to my family as a maid since she was young, but your backgrounds are very similar. You said that Xiao Ru is like your little sister, so you can treat her like your little sister in the future. When I'm not in the palace, you have to take care of her and talk to her, alright? "

Xiao Si wiped his tears and said with a smile, "Alright, this servant also likes to talk to Xiao Ru. What, does the empress want to leave the palace?" He looked at Chen Ning with wide eyes.

Chen Ning thought that this Xiao Si was very mischievous. She couldn't let him see anything and reveal it to Mo Chuan.

She said with a faint smile, "I'm saying that in the future, the emperor and I will have to leave the palace and it won't be convenient to bring Xiao Ru with us. At that time, you have to take care of her, alright?"

"Alright, this servant will definitely take good care of Xiao Ru, just like my own little sister." Xiao Si straightforwardly agreed.

Chen Ning revealed a faint smile and put down the curtain.

The group returned to the Guan Yu Palace.

Chen Ning got off the carriage and walked through the gates. Looking at the empty courtyard, she couldn't help feeling a little strange.

It wasn't late yet, and it wasn't time to go to bed, but why were all the eunuchs and palace maids gone?

Could it be that assassin from the Purple Heaven had come back?

She thought of the river of blood that day and her heart tightened. The first person she thought of was Xiao Ru.

God, Xiao Ru was lucky enough to escape last time, he couldn't let anything happen to her this time!

"Xiao Ru!" She raised her voice and shouted. At the same time, she rushed over to Xiao Ru's room.

She was startled and couldn't help but laugh at herself for being overly suspicious. That assassin from Purple Heaven Pavilion had taken her Bone Melting Pill and lost all of his power. How could he possibly make a comeback?
