"Ah? Here it is, where is it?"
Xiao Ren tried hard to walk for most of the day, holding on to his dizzy head due to the drunkenness.
But Shuiyun Pavilion, where the Mo family lived temporarily, didn't even see a shadow. The buildings dangling in front of them unexpectedly turned into a vast green ocean.
Even the ground beneath my feet seems to have turned green?
He tried hard to open his eyes and raised his neck, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, trying to figure out the way forward.
But he probably exerted too much force, and before he could even raise his head, his stomach was already churning.
"Uh-huh, yuck!——"
Only a moment later, Xiao Ren felt uncomfortable and grabbed the person next to him. He only had time to bend down and started to vomit.
It was so dark that he almost vomited his stomach out. Xiao Ren didn't know when he was moved to the shade of a cool tree. The cool breeze finally cleared his mind.
However, when he was stubbornly trying to find the way, he looked up and saw the beautiful Seventh Prince Xiao Ni looking down at him with a wry smile.
"...Well, see you, Your Majesty, Seventh Prince. It's a joke. I'll be fine after I finish vomiting. Let's continue..."
But before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ren, who was struggling to get up, his shoulders sank, and he sat firmly back on the ground with a thud.
Immediately afterwards, a wry smile floated above his head.
"I accept the prince's wishes. But if you want to continue, I think we should wait for another day. With this colorful outfit, it's not easy to embarrass yourself in front of outsiders."
Xiao Ren was tired and uncomfortable, and it took a long time for Han Zang's brain to react before he realized that he might have vomited on the seventh prince just now, and that's why he said these words.
"Okay, okay. Yes, I'm sorry, Your Highness."
Xiao Ren no longer had a goal that he had to complete, so his mind relaxed, and his eyelids immediately started fighting, without caring about where he was.
The Seventh Prince Xiao Ni saw that the person had completely closed his eyes, and then he called out softly:
"Your Majesty, wake up, Your Majesty?"
After confirming the fact that the other party's eyes were unable to open after trembling frequently, he approached lightly. He took out the fragrant ball from his purse and put it under Xiao Ren's nose.
After a while, when Xiao Ren was completely "drunk" and fell unconscious, he pushed and screamed twice, confirming that Xiao Ren really had no reaction at all, and only after snoring, he stood up and adjusted his very clean clothes.
Before emerging from the bushes, Xiao Ni looked up to confirm her location and the sky. She immediately chose a path with few people and quickly disappeared into the shadow of another dark tree.
…
In the flower-filled back garden of the Princess Mansion, there is a remote white bridge, close to the courtyard wall.
No matter the location or size, it is just a decoration at first glance.
All the elders in the mansion knew that the Prince Consort had someone come to the mansion to make it when the eldest princess was pregnant with Princess Danyang.
Everyone knew at that time that a woman who was pregnant for ten months had to rest and relax, and it was not advisable to start the pregnancy.
Therefore, this bridge is also seen by those who are familiar with it as evidence that the prince-in-law does not like the eldest princess, and the marriage is also evidence that he was forced to marry the royal family.
Later, the eldest princess became weak after giving birth and was unable to take care of herself. She was even less able to run the household and take charge of the middle school. And soon the general affairs were handed over to the people sent by the old lady of the mother-in-law's government.
Therefore, this white bridge was left "lucky" without anyone caring about it.
The elders in the mansion were all tacitly aware of this. Although those who came after them did not know the inside story, they felt that this place was probably a "forbidden area" in the mansion, and naturally they did not want to get involved.
Over time, deliberately turning a blind eye and taking silent detours, the already remote Baishi Bridge finally became an increasingly remote corner in the already overgrown back garden of the Princess Mansion.
Even during this renovation, the people who were assigned to clean and tidy up the house continued to ignore this inconspicuous corner due to inexplicable taboos and the desire to avoid taboos.
But today, just after noon, someone sneaked under the White Bridge.
The little maid Dou'er beside Grandma Zhou had just gotten to the stone steps buried under the weeds, and her palms were already covered in cold sweat. The note that has been held tightly in the palm of my hand has become a ball of ink stains due to sweat.
"Hey, hey, someone is here... woo! -"
Before Dou'er could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed a strange noise in the grass behind him, but just as he was about to turn around, someone was holding his neck and mouth tightly.
"Shhh - if you attract irrelevant people, don't blame me for being merciless."
"...Woo."
At this moment, how could Dou'er, whose life was hanging by a thread, dare to struggle?
She just nodded her head, hoping that the other party would let her live.
"Listen, I am a subordinate of the third prince. Because His Highness wants to smile at Miss Bai from Duke Boguo's palace, I need your help. If it is successful, you will also have a big share. But if you don't agree, or deliberately leak the news, Don’t blame me for being cruel and ruthless.”
The hoarse voice sounded like a stone, giving Dou'er a choice like a talisman in his ears.
Although Dou'er secretly met with people from the Duke's Mansion two days ago, he heard the news that Miss Bai and the third prince were becoming more and more in love. But at this moment, I still couldn't figure out why the other party did this.
However, no matter what, the affairs of these noble people have nothing to do with her, a little maid who serves as an errand.
So after only a moment of hesitation, she immediately nodded and agreed to the other party's request.
After her mouth and neck were released, and without waiting for the other party's instructions, she closed her eyes tightly, bowed her head deeply on the spot, and begged for mercy like a turtle with its head shrunk:
"Hero, spare your life! I, I'm just a little girl. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best without asking for credit."
"Ha, it's my duty. Then listen up, in a moment..."
…
In Qishuang Pavilion, Mei Lan, the only eldest maid left in the courtyard who could take charge, was busy working in the courtyard with a few maids who were sweeping and doing rough things.
"Sister Mei Lan, come and see how to match these colored threads so that the princess will like it?"
"...I need to add some more colorful feathers here."
Everyone who was so busy didn't realize that someone was rushing towards them outside the open hanging flower door.
As soon as the newcomer stepped across the threshold, without waiting for the little maid guarding the door to come forward to greet her, she ran straight to the eldest maid Mei Lan, smiled and said quickly:
"Sister Mei Lan, are you busy? It's an unlucky time for me to come here. I wonder if I can do you a favor?"
Apart from Bai Zhi who is next to the eldest princess, the only maid who is so familiar with Qishuang Pavilion is Dou'er, the maid next to Grandma Zhou.
Mei Lan didn't know why, but she always disliked the latter. Especially after the last time she discovered that the other party was secretly inquiring about the situation in Qishuang Pavilion, she was particularly sensitive to his voice.
Therefore, without even turning around, he knew who it was and frowned involuntarily.
After trying hard to suppress the strangeness, Mei Lan turned around and greeted:
"Oh, is it Sister Dou'er? I'm here in such a hurry. Could it be that grandma has something urgent?"
