It was an extremely ugly face.
Among all the living people that Huimo had ever seen, she was the ugliest one. Even among all kinds of dead bodies that he had examined, there were not many ugliest ones.
She was dressed like an ordinary palace maid, but her face looked like it had been burned in a big fire. Her eyebrows had been burned away, and her mouth was crooked. It was as if there were ferocious worms crawling all over her face. Even her age could not be accurately determined. Only a pair of awl-like eyes swept over. In this kind of floating flower shadows and sweet fragrance of the Imperial Garden, suddenly seeing such a terrifying face, anyone would be so frightened that they would break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing Huimo's shocked face, the palace maid immediately lowered her head, "I'm sorry for scaring you. I deserve to die."
Judging from her voice, she should be an old maid, but suddenly appeared here quietly, which made people suspicious. Xiahou Qing put one hand behind his back and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The maid bent down in fear, "I'm from Zhaoyi Yin's palace. I came out to find a jade pendant for my mother. If I knew that there were nobles here, I would never dare to come out and offend you. "
Zhaoyi Yin? Sixth Prince Xiao Yunyi's cowardly biological mother who had no sense of existence. Xiahou Qing's eyebrows flashed with a trace of playfulness.
Huimo knew what she meant and immediately stepped forward, "You said that you're from Zhaoyi Yin's palace, right? Who knows if you're talking nonsense or not? "
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
The maid was trembling with fear and was about to kneel down, when a lake-green palace dress floated from near to far, "Shu Xue, haven't you found it yet? It's just a jade pendant. You've been here for a long time and still haven't found it. What's the use of you? Ah, it's Heir Xiahou. I was blind and didn't see you. Please forgive me. "
It was Yin Zhaoyi. Her voice was originally slightly anxious, but when she recognized Xiahou Qing, she immediately changed her expression. She glanced at Shu Xue, who didn't even dare to raise her head, and roughly guessed the whole story. She sighed and said, "This Shu Xue is indeed mine. I was taking a walk in the Imperial Garden and accidentally lost a bracelet. I didn't think that she would come to find it. Later, I thought that His Majesty was holding a banquet in Weiyang Palace today. At this moment, there should be no one here, and it wouldn't scare others, so I sent her. I didn't expect that she would bump into you. It was my negligence. "
She was different from Empress Cao's noble and graceful, and was also completely different from Qi Feiyan's overbearing aura. Yin Zhaoyi, who was a few years younger than Empress Cao, used her whole body to write a big word "worry". She was like a rootless butterfly orchid, afraid that she would fall down when the wind blew gently.
Xiahou Qing's face was warm, and he also politely said, "Zhaoyi, you're too polite. It's just that I can't see, so it's not considered a collision. It's my servant who was young and reckless and lost his decorum. Hui Mo, hurry up and confess your sins. "
Hui Mo heard the string and quickly understood his meaning. He went forward to salute Yin Zhaoyi embarrassedly, scratched his head and said, "I pay my respects to Zhaoyi. I made a fuss about nothing and was rude. Please punish me. However, I'm really curious. What kind of disaster did this maid go through to become like this? "
Yin Zhaoyi's twinkling eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of water vapor that rippled like smoke. She couldn't help but sigh, "This matter started twenty-five years ago.
That year, Empress Zhou suddenly went crazy for some reason. She raised her sword and killed the previous crown prince. Blood dyed the Phoenix Algae Palace, and then she burned the entire palace. That fire was too big, spreading to palace after palace. The palace servants' howls resounded throughout the entire palace. Even after twenty years, I still can't forget those miserable cries.
At that time, I hadn't been appointed as an imperial concubine by His Majesty and was still working in the Shang Palace Bureau. Because the Shang Palace Bureau I was in was very close to the Phoenix Algae Palace, I wasn't spared. At that time, my life was at stake. I saw palace maids dying one after another in front of me. I thought my life was going to end here. It was Shu Xue who braved the raging fire at a young age and dragged me out. After I was rescued, I found that my arms and back were burned, but my life was not in danger. However, because she was hit by a broken piece of wood, her entire face was destroyed and could never recover … "Yin Zhaoyi's voice was slightly choked," So Shu Xue saved my life. Although I know that palace maids with disfigured faces shouldn't be kept in the palace, I still insisted on keeping her. Once she was driven out, there was no way she could survive. "
He didn't expect that there was such a reason. Hui Mo was surprised and ashamed. He clenched his fist and bowed deeply, "I didn't expect mama to be such a righteous person. I was rude and offended mama. Mama, please forgive me."
The misunderstanding was over. Yin Zhaoyi said a few more polite words and left with Shu Xue.
When their figures completely disappeared, Hui Mo's expression changed. He immediately jumped back and said mysteriously, "Your Highness, I feel that there is something wrong with Yin Zhaoyi."
