"Miss Xue, what are you looking for?"
It was with much difficulty that the wedding lady managed to help the tired-looking Miss Xue up, but seeing that her body was still swaying, she still wanted to walk out of the courtyard. What was she doing?
"Shh!" Be quiet! "
Zhao Xiaoxue raised her finger to tell the wedding lady to lower her voice. Just now, she had only seen Yi Bu. She didn't know if her two companions were still there. If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't be able to rest at ease.
Seeing Miss Xue's secretive look, the wedding lady did not say anything else and obediently followed behind her, thinking that if Miss Xue needed her later, she could also help.
"Hmm? Weird, why is there no one here? "
Zhao Xiaoxue looked for the direction of the voice. She looked back and forth several times, but there was no trace of Yi Bu.
"People? Who is it? Miss Xue, did you hear wrongly? Besides you, who was standing outside the courtyard, I didn't see anyone else around here! Sigh! If you say that in this vast palace, the popularity is so low that it gives off a desolate feeling, then it would be strange if the Southern King did not get sick. Even if he did not get sick, he would probably hold back and get sick! "
She sighed with emotion. To be honest, although the Southern King Mansion was not bad, she didn't like it here at all. It was just too eerie. If it weren't for her guilt towards Miss Xue, she wouldn't have stepped in here.
"Eh, it seems like there really are less people in this residence!" However, there was someone here just now. How come this person disappeared? "
Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't figure it out. It was a pity that right now, there were only two people here, Xi Niang and Zhao Xiaoxue. Xi Niang had no idea what was going on, so Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't tell the truth in case Xi Niang got scared.
"Alright, since he's gone, forget it! I can't walk anymore, my feet are hurting! "
Zhao Xiaoxue was really tired, she really wanted to lie on the chair and rub her feet.
"Sigh!" Do you even know that your feet hurt? Why didn't you think about wearing shoes when you went out? Also, you are a rich young miss after all. How come Master Xue hasn't brought over a maidservant for you? "Say, how do you think you'll survive in this manor like this?"
When Miss Xue went to Lin Xuan Pavilion, the wedding nanny had already gone through the entire pavilion's interior and exterior. Just like before, there was not a single trace of a maid.
Niang Niang had originally planned to find a maid to give Miss Xue her shoes. She hadn't thought that there would be no one to run errands for her. It could be seen that Miss Xue was still as pitiful as ever.
Of course, Xi Niang didn't belong to the Prince's Mansion. If she showed up, not only would she be unable to help Miss Xue, she might even lose her life. In the end, Xi Niang could only wait in the yard.
"Niangniang, I actually don't need anyone to serve me. I can take care of myself!" I am very strong! "
Zhao Xiaoxue's words weren't false. Since she was an orphan, she naturally knew how to take care of herself. However, when Zhao Xiaoxue saw the Xi Niang's worried expression, she felt very warm.
Although Zhao Xiaoxue didn't really understand the Xi Niang, the fact that she appeared at such a crucial moment showed that she truly treated him well. The more she acted this way, the less Zhao Xiaoxue wanted to worry about him.
As she spoke, she pulled the wedding lady's arm and shook it a few times. This made the wedding lady feel as if this Miss Xue was being spoiled, but she also felt very close to her. She could not help but shake her head and say:
No matter how strong you are, there must be someone by your side to serve you. No matter what, you are an imperial concubine, a proper eight hundred princess without a maid. If these words are spread out, I'm afraid that people will laugh at you, especially when it comes to the new year, there will be a lot of opportunities for an imperial concubine like you to attend the banquet.
There were many ugly things about the families of officials and officials over the years that the wedding lady knew. Many of them had been framed. With Miss Xue being so innocent today, they really didn't want her to die a violent death.
"Ah?" That serious? "Alright, I'll think about it a little more!"
In any case, the little girls from the Xue Manor, Zhao Xiaoxue, definitely wouldn't take them. If they were by her side, she might have died even faster.
"Right, this is a serious matter. You really need to think about it carefully!"
Seeing that Miss Xue had finally been enlightened, the wedding lady felt gratified in her heart.
"Honestly speaking, compared to a servant, I want to know a few things about the elementalists. For example, where can I find an elementalist?"
Mentioning the doctor, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but look around. The book had disappeared and Bu Li was nowhere to be seen. This Bu Li was indeed a child. He was not reliable at all!
"Origin Doctor? If young miss wants to find a doctor, all you need to do is to head to the Southern Palace. All of the doctors in the Southern Chu Country are there! "
"Really? All the doctors are here? "
Zhao Xiaoxue was still thinking about how to find an elementalist, but it sounded like there was a specialist living there. Zhao Xiaoxue was surprised by this.
"Of course it's true. This is something that everyone knows. Miss Xue … If you do not lose your memories, you should know this as well. After all, in Anyu, every newborn baby needs to go to the Southern Palace to check if they have any Yuan Qi. If they have Yuan Qi, they can go to the Southern Palace to learn until they are three years old.
When talking about becoming a great doctor, that was an incomparably honorable matter.
"Southern Palace? "Where is the Southern Palace? Can Empress Dowager take me there?"
Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't wait to find a doctor. If all the doctors were there, perhaps Zhuo Fan would be too. As she spoke, Zhao Xiaoxue was about to run out of the courtyard with Xi Niang in tow.
"Wait!"
The young miss had said that the wind was rain, and the wedding maiden had felt very confused.
"Miss Xue, are you going to the Southern Palace just like that?"
When she had heard that the Southern King was in critical condition and worried about accompanying his wife in death, it had been one thing for Miss Xue to not dress herself up. But now, she still had to leave the palace in this manner.
Sure enough, Miss Xue had some problems with her head. No wonder everyone said she was an idiot.
"Oh!" "If you're not wearing your shoes, I'll wear them now!"
As she spoke, Zhao Xiaoxue lifted up her skirt and ran into the house.
"The shoes are here!"
Seeing that Miss Xue was about to run away, the wedding lady quickly reminded her.
Oh!" Better here! I'll wear it right away! "Let's get our shoes on and set off!
Zhao Xiaoxue did not act pretentious. She took the shoes and began to stir up trouble on her own.
"My young miss, even if you really want to go to the Southern Palace, you can go tomorrow! It's not like the Senior Doctor of the Southern Palace would leave. Moreover, it's already a little late by now. I'm afraid the Southern Palace is already closed! "
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxue's hand gradually stopped moving.
"Is it already closed?"
Zhao Xiaoxue was a little disappointed, but the wedding lady nodded seriously.
"It's so late, it should be closed!"
"Alright then, tomorrow …" We'll go again tomorrow! "
Zhao Xiaoxue really wanted to quickly understand some of the knowledge of the doctor. After all, life and death were at stake.
"Alright, if I have the time tomorrow, I can accompany you as well, Eldest Miss. Rest well today, it's going to change into something else soon. I have to go back now!"
With that, the wedding lady turned to leave.
"Mother, you …" You want to go home? That... I am the only one left here, am I not? "
Although she said she was very strong just now, when the wedding lady really wanted to leave, Zhao Xiaoxue felt reluctant to part with her. She even turned her head to look at the empty courtyard, unexpectedly still feeling a little afraid.
"That's right, you are the only one here. Didn't you just say that you could take care of yourself? "Then I'll leave first!"
The bridal attendants only served the bride, they didn't have the habit of serving others. Furthermore, this was the Southern King's Manor, so she really didn't want to stay any longer.
"My wedding!"
Zhao Xiaoxue still wanted to urge her to stay, but the nanny not too far away waved her hand:
"It's going to change soon, young lady should have gone into the house earlier!"
With that, the wedding lady's figure quickly disappeared.
"Change?"
Zhao Xiaoxue raised her head to look at the sky. She didn't expect the Empress to be right. She saw the sky filled with dark clouds.
"Is it going to rain?"
Speaking of rain, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but shiver and run inside the house. Although she was born on a snowy day and had a special attachment to snow, the thing she disliked the most was rain. Whenever it rained, her mood would become especially gloomy.
Of course, aside from his depressed mood, more importantly …
'Bang! '
Just as Zhao Xiaoxue ran into the house, the dark clouds had already arrived. A flash of lightning followed closely by the sound of thunder.
"Thunder? It's winter, and it's still raining and there's still thunder? "
Not only did Zhao Xiaoxue dislike rain, she was even more afraid of thunder. In the past, whenever there was a thunderstorm, she would find a variety of glowing objects, such as candles, flashlights, and even glowing rods.
But now …
Zhao Xiaoxue turned around and looked at the dark room. Her heart sank to the bottom very quickly.
"Boom!"
Another clap of thunder sounded. Zhao Xiaoxue was so scared that she left the room. Compared to this dark room, she would rather stay outside.
"Boom!"
Another clap of thunder. Zhao Xiaoxue was so scared that she jumped up.
"No!" Don't thunder anymore! "
Fear was like a plague, spreading rapidly once it happened. Under the stimulation of this fear, Zhao Xiaoxue's tears rolled down her face. At this moment, she finally realized how weak she was. She wasn't as strong as she said she was.
"No way, I can't cry from fear, I'll go … …" "Go find Chu Yufeng!"
At this moment, the only person she could think of was that purple-robed man.
Thinking back to the scene where Xi Niang had given her directions, Zhao Xiaoxue carefully chose a direction. Finally, she returned to Lin Xuan Pavilion.
It was unknown if it was to show the sinister and terrifying Southern King Manor, but not only did the Warm Jade Pavilion lack light, even the Lin Xuan Pavilion was like this. Looking at the pitch-black house in front of them, Zhao Xiaoxue whispered,
"Could Chu Yufeng be inside?"
If Chu Yufeng was not in the room, Zhao Xiaoxue would not dare to enter.
"Hualala!"
Just as Zhao Xiaoxue was hesitating outside Lin Xuan Pavilion, rain finally began to fall from the sky that had been thunderous for a long time.
Zhao Xiaoxue quickly ran to the eaves of the Ling-Xuan Pavilion. Seeing that the black mass in the sky was getting more and more numerous, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhao Xiaoxue suddenly felt like she was collapsing. She did not know what to do, so she could only cross her arms and slowly squat down against the wall.
"No more rain, no more rain! "Sob, sob …"
"Are you crying?"
Suddenly, a shadow flashed out from the corner of the wall. Zhao Xiaoxue was so scared that she almost screamed out loud. But when she heard the man's familiar voice, the thought of screaming disappeared from her mind.
"Chu Yufeng, you've finally appeared! Where have you been? "
Zhao Xiaoxue stood up as she spoke, quickly moving forward and pulling on the man's arm.
"This King didn't go anywhere. He went inside the house!"
Chu Yufeng's words weren't false. At least, Chu Yufeng was in the room when Zhao Xiaoxue came out, but he was discussing something with someone else.
"In the house? Then why don't you light it? If there was a light, I wouldn't … "
Thinking back on how she had cried so shamelessly just now, it was really her fault that she was scared.
"Light? Hehe, This King rarely reads at night, so I don't need a light! "
For Chu Yufeng, day and night weren't much different, so he could see things clearly.
Perhaps it was because there was such a 'super economical' master, so the servants of the Southern King's Estate had no choice but to economize. As a result, this forest garden actually didn't have a single light on.
"If you don't want to read, why don't you light the lamp?" Then wouldn't we be touching the dark now? "
Now that she was holding onto the man's arm, even though the room was dark, Zhao Xiaoxue was no longer afraid. It was just that it was dark and she couldn't see anything. It was really inconvenient.
"In the dark? Are you afraid of the dark? If that's the case, This King will immediately order people to ignite the lamp of the Warm Jade Pavilion.
Chu Yufeng hadn't noticed it before, but now that this woman was frightened, he felt rather guilty.
"A lamp from the Warm Jade Pavilion..." "Are you going to let me live in such a big yard?"
Even with the lights on, Zhao Xiaoxue still felt scared when she heard the rumbling of thunder and the sound of the rain outside.
"You don't like the Warm Jade Pavilion? If you don't want to change it, then just do it! "
The Warm Jade Pavilion used to be Chu Yufeng's sleeping quarters. However, the woman had gone to live in it on the day of the wedding, and due to many reasons, she hadn't been able to find a suitable sleeping quarters for the woman.
However, if the woman was unwilling, he would naturally not force her. In any case, there were a lot of courtyards in the garden. As long as the woman liked them, he could choose any one of them.
"Change it? "No, I don't want to live alone. I'll live wherever you live!"
At this moment, if Zhao Xiaoxue didn't have a man by her side, she would be a coward who was afraid of the heavens and the earth. Thus, she absolutely couldn't let him leave his side.
"Oh? You want to live with Ben Wang? Don't you know that This King is also a dangerous person? "
To be honest, Chu Yufeng didn't reject this woman. On the contrary, he really liked her, so he couldn't even guarantee that he wouldn't do anything to her. After all, he was a man with flesh and blood.
However, his short life had bound everything, including his love for his lover.
