The two eunuchs didn't dare to refute after being scolded. They kept nodding and finally came back with a sad face.
"Your Highness, please forgive us. It's our dereliction of duty. We'll bring some food for Consort Su right now."
"Then go quickly." The man shouted coldly again.
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll go now …" The two eunuchs hurriedly left as if their butts were on fire.
After watching them leave, the man remembered that there was another person here. He quickly turned to Siyang and bowed deeply, "Bo Yikao greets Consort Su."
He was Bo Yikao.
The small corner door of Yingxiang Palace was not locked for the convenience of outsiders. Two guards were sent to guard it, so there was no need to worry that Su Daji would escape. The palace was so big that even if she escaped here, it was impossible for her to get out of the palace gate.
Just now, the corner door was opened for the convenience of talking. The eunuchs were scared away and forgot to close it.
Across the threshold, Siyang and he looked at each other.
Bo Yikao.
The eldest son of Marquis Xi Bo and also the Crown Prince of Xiqi. He was ordered to escort the two daughters of the Su family to Zhaoge.
Bo Yikao was young, gentle, and talented. His behavior showed that he was the son of a noble family. In the short time they got along, there was a vague ambiguity between him and Daji.
But Daji was going to enter the palace to be the king's favorite concubine, so that was all they could do.
In the later stage, Daji was possessed by Nine-tailed Fox and lost her mind. Bo Yikao was also killed by Nine-tailed Fox with the help of Daji. He was even eaten by his own father. It was really miserable.
"Consort Su?" Bo Yikao found that the man in front of him was staring at him. He was a little uncomfortable and called him again.
"You don't have to be so courteous." Siyang patted Little Geek's head and nodded. "Thank you for your help just now."
"Consort Su, please don't say that. It's what I should do." Looking at Siyang seriously, Bo Yikao sighed. He had always felt guilty towards Daji. Because of her father's divination, Daji had been imprisoned at home since she was young. She was not allowed to go out, she could not read, and she was not allowed to see outsiders.
After that, Bo Yikao personally sent her to Zhaoge. Then, his father and the court officials asked the king to trap Daji here. Just thinking about it made Bo Yikao feel ashamed to face the person in front of him.
"You don't have to feel guilty. This is all because of Daji's bad luck." Siyang knew what Bo Yikao was thinking. This person was a gentleman. In the end, he could only blame it on … God's will.
Seeing that Siyang was about to turn and leave, Bo Yikao wanted to stop him.
Siyang turned to look at him and finally looked at his feet.
Bo Yikao's feet were about to cross the threshold, but he paused the moment he lifted his foot. He was not as unscrupulous as the concubines in the harem. He was the Heir of the Marquis of the West, and he was a man outside. The harem was a forbidden place for him and he could not stay for long. He should avoid Yingxiang Palace.
After a long sigh, Bo Yikao still did not cross the threshold. He held the door and looked deeply at Siyang.
"Daji, please don't say that. None of this is your fault."
He called Daji's name, not Consort Su. But … so what?
"Since it's not my fault, I have to bear it."
Step by step, Siyang walked closer to him. She raised her delicate chin at Bo Yikao. Her slightly raised eyebrows were slightly sarcastic. "I didn't decide to be born. But because of your father's divination, I was grounded in my boudoir and became illiterate. You were ordered to send me and my sister to the palace. Your father turned around and said that I was a witch who brought disaster to the country and caused me to fall into such a situation."
"You are really a good father and son."
"I, Daji is not like this …" Bo Yikao was speechless by Siyang's words. He wanted to explain but found that all these words were true. He was ashamed.
Frowning, Bo Yikao suddenly blurted out, "Don't worry. I will save you."
"Save me?" Slightly raising her eyebrows, Siyang smiled. "How are you going to save me? You dare to disobey the King's order. What's more, as long as I'm alive, your father can't be at ease."
"Since I said I would save you, I will find a way." With Bo Yikao's temperament, once he had decided on something, he would never change it. He had to fix the mistake he had made.
"Do you really want to save me?" Siyang seemed to be affected by his tone. Her tone softened.
Bo Yikao's eyes lit up and he quickly nodded. "Yes. Give me a few days to find a way. I will save you before I go back to Xiqi. I won't leave you here to suffer."
"Why do you bother?" Siyang shook her head and lowered her eyelids. "Even if I go out, there is no place for me in the world."
"With me here, you won't be homeless." They were close to each other. Bo Yikao was excited and eager to express his feelings. He grabbed Siyang's shoulder.
After saying that, he realized his behavior was inappropriate. After a pause, he quickly let go of her. Bo Yikao was a little embarrassed. He blushed and stammered, "I, I mean … Trust me. I won't let you down."
"In that case, can you do one thing for Daji?" Siyang didn't seem to notice this. She bit her lips and asked.
"Ah." Bo Yikao was stunned for a moment. Then he responded, "Tell me, what do you want me to do? As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
"Of course it's within your power."
Si Yang's eyes were as clear as water. Her eyelashes gently fluttered, and her body leaned slightly closer to him. Her delicate head was slightly lowered, and she looked extremely flirtatious. Bo Yikao was stunned.
Although he didn't know how many times he had seen this appearance, Bo Yikao still felt amazed. His father's divination was at least half right. This woman's appearance was indeed a beauty that could captivate the birds and beasts, outshining the moon and putting the flowers to shame.
"Thank you, Young Prince."
"Ah …" Bo Yikao came to himself and thought of what the woman said in his ear. Fortunately, he was distracted to listen to her. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.
"May I ask, why do you want to do this?" Bo Yikao felt a little strange about Siyang's request.
Siyang, who had already retreated, only smiled, "If Young Prince wants to save me, then do as I say. Daji is only doing this for her own survival."
Since she said this, Bo Yikao pursed his lips and nodded heavily, "If you don't want to say, then I won't force you. But I will do my best to do what you want me to do."
While the two were talking, a sound came from the corridor not far away. It turned out that the two eunuchs had returned with food. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Bo Yikao took a few steps back.
"Young Prince, Consort Su, the food has been brought."
Bo Yikao opened the food box and felt that the food was okay. He snorted and glanced at the two eunuchs as a warning, "In the future, if you deliberately make things difficult for Consort Su, you need to consider your own status. Why aren't you helping the Imperial Consort bring it in?"
"Yes, yes, this servant will bring it in right away."
It was her first time here today, but she was pleasantly surprised by what she received. With Bo Yikao's help, she would have a much easier time. Siyang nodded to Bo Yikao, "Many thanks, Young Prince. This consort will go back first."
"Imperial Consort, please." Bo Yikao waved his hand to send her off.
After watching Siyang leave, Bo Yikao stood in place and thought for a moment. He clenched his fists and made up his mind.
After returning to the bedroom, Siyang first fed the Little Geek and sent it to its own nest before eating. Perhaps because of the previous shock, this time, she didn't need to say anything. The hot water for washing up had already been brought over. It was convenient for her to use.
Daji was the only one in Ying Xiang Palace, so she had to do everything herself.
After washing up, Si Yang lay down on the bed. After blowing out the candles, the large bedroom was pitch-black and empty. The cold wind passed through the cracks in the windows, bringing with it a whistling sound as it passed through the hall, making it a bit more sinister for no reason.
The bed curtains fluttered slightly and a figure suddenly appeared beside the bed.
After that person appeared, he lifted the curtains. His movements were casual as if he wasn't afraid of waking up the person in the bed.
A pair of long and narrow eyes with a charming red light stared straight at the beautiful woman lying on the bed. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze. The bed curtains were still fluttering, but the figure had disappeared.
