The night is getting darker and the surroundings are getting quieter.
Suddenly, there was some movement outside the door. She suddenly sat upright, quickly straightened her dress, and covered her red hijab again.
"Your Majesty."
The guard's greeting came from outside the door, and the next moment, the door was pushed open.
She listened nervously to the sound of the door closing, and when she was wondering why the other party didn't come over, the red hijab on her head was suddenly lifted!
Why are there no footsteps? !
Her eyes widened in shock. She subconsciously looked up and saw a handsome man looking down at her!
The man's tall figure forced her to tilt her head back as hard as she could. His sharp face, sharp eyebrows, and proud nose were indeed as handsome as the maid who accompanied the sedan said, as handsome as a god descending from heaven!
But the man's outstanding appearance did not fascinate her, because the man's furrowed brows, thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes as cold and sharp as blades all spoke of his displeasure at this time!
"Who are you!" Wu Zechen looked down at the girl in front of him with cold eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
I didn't expect that this young lady from the Xia family, who had been abandoned in the countryside since birth, would be so beautiful.
"My name is Xia Luotong, and I am the eldest daughter of Master Xia of the Ministry of Rites." Xia Luotong replied softly, pretending to be timid.
The man's powerful aura was full of oppression, a feeling that sent chills down her spine. She had no doubt that if she dared to act rashly, the consequences would not be something she could bear.
"Oh, the eldest daughter born to a village woman." The man sneered, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Tell me! What did Xia send you to do? What tasks did he assign to you?"
When Wu Zechen knew that his marriage partner had changed from the eldest daughter Xia Zhilu known to the world to the Xia Luotong who suddenly appeared, he had already secretly sent someone to investigate.
After understanding the situation, he no longer had any favorable impression of the so-called family of the Minister of Rites, and was filled with disgust.
"I don't know, I don't know anything. I was brought to the capital by my father yesterday, and I only found out yesterday that I was getting married. I didn't even know I was getting married until I was sitting in the sedan chair just now." Xia Luotong had a look on his face. He looked scared and asked cautiously, "I just heard someone said that this is the prince's palace. Are you the prince?"
"Don't pretend in front of me! Otherwise you won't want to know what will happen!" Wu Zechen suddenly grabbed Xia Luotong's neck and lifted her up!
Xia Luotong was shocked. She didn't expect that this man was as cruel, ruthless and capricious as he had heard before. He would attack without warning? !
"Really...really! I...I didn't lie...to you..."
Her face flushed, and she grabbed the man's steel-like palms with both hands, struggling weakly with her legs.
Isn't it going to hang up just after I put it on?
It's a shame that she was on the sedan chair as soon as she traveled back in time, leaving her no time to prepare. Otherwise, with her poisonous skills, she would definitely drag him with her even if she died!
I just don’t know if I can put it back on after I die...?
To a man, her struggle could not even be considered an itch. It was so weak that it seemed as if it would disappear from the world with just a slight exertion.
Seeing that she didn't look like she was faking her, and what he said was consistent with what he had found out, he let go of his hand after a moment and let her collapse to the ground, showing no sign of pity for her.
"Ahem—!"
Xia Luotong, who had regained his freedom, couldn't stop coughing and breathing in the fresh air. He felt angry at the situation just now, which was like walking through the gate of hell.
It seems that his guess is correct. Fortunately, he didn't hesitate to play weak when he first came up. Such a strong man cannot tolerate the slightest resistance from others.
"I'll spare your life for now. You'd better be honest and don't think of yourself as a princess. You're not worthy!" The man said coldly, making no secret of his disgust for her. "Remember, you are just a member of the Xia family. You are an abandoned child, as long as you stay peacefully, I may give you a way to survive when she replaces you in the future."
she?
It seems that what those servants said earlier is true. Is Prince An really interested in someone?
Then wouldn’t he be forced to do three?
She is so... so unfortunate!
As for Prince An, who was being beaten by the emperor? Let's forget it, look at his appearance, there's no way he looks pitiful...
But according to what he meant, as long as he stayed out of trouble and made way for his sweetheart in the future, he would be able to fly away?
That's not bad.
She nodded hurriedly, showing a timid and scared look, and huddled aside cautiously.
"Get out."
Seeing that she was quite sensible, the man finally didn't do anything to her. He just said something coldly and walked to the room on the other side, not even bothering to give her a glance.
go out? Where to go?
Xia Luotong was stunned for a moment, but she wanted to be farther away from this cold-faced evil star!
He immediately stood up without hesitation and quickly walked out of the house.
At this time, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a butler waiting outside the house. He immediately stepped forward when he saw her coming out.
"Princess, please follow this servant to your courtyard to rest."
It seemed that he no longer had to stay in the same room with this guy who might strangle him to death at any time, so Xia Luotong followed him without hesitation.
The middle-aged man who looked like a butler just led the way quietly without any intention of speaking. Xia Luotong thought for a moment and decided to shut up. She was afraid that even if she wanted to make friends and ask about the situation, the other party would not Don't take care of yourself.
The palace occupies a large area, which Xia Luotong had already noticed when he entered during the day, but now they had walked for a long time, and the further they walked, the further they went, and the surrounding area became quieter and quieter, until they finally arrived. He stopped in front of a small dilapidated courtyard.
Looking at the courtyard in front of her that could be used as a filming location for a ghost movie, she couldn't help but sigh. It was really hard for the cold-faced prince to find such a dilapidated courtyard in such a large and luxurious palace. What a painstaking effort!
"Princess, from today onwards you will live here in Tingyuxuan. Three meals a day will be delivered by servants." The middle-aged man said in a calm tone, neither humble nor arrogant, "My surname is Zhang. Just call me Manager Zhang. If If there is an emergency, let someone come and look for the old slave."
The meaning of these words is very clear. Princess, if you have any problem, come to me.
"Mr. Zhang, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Xia Luotong asked politely, not paying attention to his attitude.
To be called the general manager, she must have a high status in this palace. It was best for her to be polite when she was new to the house and the situation was unclear.
"Your Majesty doesn't like to be disturbed." Manager Zhang replied quite simply, "All the things you brought as a dowry have been sent to Tingyuxuan. Please check them later."
As he said that, he waved to the crowd of servants at the back, and one of the maids came out immediately, "This is the maid assigned to you. She will serve you from now on. As for the servants from Shangshu Mansion who came to dowry, They were sent back earlier. They don’t understand the rules of the palace and it’s not appropriate to stay.”
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang." Xia Luotong had no objection to this at all. She wished that the servants arranged by Shangshu Mansion would go back quickly, otherwise they might get the orders of the cheap father and do something to harm her. Come on!
The cheap daughter will never be merciless when she cheats her! Just look at this unfortunate incident of getting married on behalf of your sister!
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first." After saying that, Manager Zhang led the group of servants and left without waiting for her to say anything else, leaving the new princess and the maid standing alone. Under the dim moonlight.
