"Don't be afraid! This King is here! "
With a casual movement, a short sentence from the man calmed Zhao Xiaoxue's heart. That's right, as long as this man was by her side, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Ah!
Zhao Xiaoxue had just made up her mind, but the Qing He behind her suddenly screamed out in fear. Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but shiver. If it wasn't for the man by her side, she would have already fallen down.
"Qing He, you …"
Zhao Xiaoxue turned around, wanting to talk about Qing He. Screaming without reason would harm people, and if her heart was bad, it might even cause sudden death. However, when she saw the strange animal in front of her, she immediately stopped.
Two meters away, a fluffy little white rabbit was jumping from one side to the other in a strange manner. It was sprinting with all of its strength, and dodging and retreating at the same time.
It was clearly a little white rabbit that could not speak. However, looking at its human-like conflicted gaze, it actually made people feel that it was particularly interesting.
"Ah!" So it's a cute little white rabbit. I thought it was something scary, but suddenly it came out and scared me! "
As Qing He spoke, she looked to the side and said apologetically:
"You scared the little miss too!"
"Hehe, for a little white rabbit to scare us, it can only mean that we are too cowardly!"
Zhao Xiaoxue analyzed the situation seriously. Thinking about her cowardly actions just now, she found it quite laughable. Besides, this was the Imperial Palace, how could a vicious beast be mixed in so casually? What if it scared the others? Thinking up to here, Zhao Xiaoxue let go of her courage and stretched out her finger, purposely waving it in front of the jumping rabbit:
"Little White, come!"
As soon as Zhao Xiaoxue finished speaking, the little white rabbit seemed to have been summoned as it kept charging forward. However, just as it was in front of Zhao Xiaoxue, it suddenly turned around and ran away in fear.
"Miss, this little white rabbit is so interesting!"
Seeing such a cute little rabbit, Qing He couldn't help but step forward to tease it, but unlike Zhao Xiaoxue, the moment Qing He extended her finger, the little rabbit that was jumping around suddenly opened its mouth, with a murderous look in its eyes, and ran towards the Qing He.
Because the rabbit was too fast and Qing He's finger was too close, in just a few breaths, Qing He's miserable scream was heard.
Ah!
"Qing He!"
Zhao Xiaoxue didn't expect the little white rabbit to suddenly attack. Could it be that she was really forced into a corner? Zhao Xiaoxue didn't want it to continue biting the green lotus, so with a few steps, she arrived beside the green lotus. She waved her hand and pulled the rabbit away, but the white rabbit jumped away as if it was frightened.
"Qing He, are you alright?"
Zhao Xiaoxue carefully checked Qing He's condition. Other than the finger that had just been bitten by the rabbit, everything else was fine.
"Miss, I'm fine! This little rabbit can bite people, I was too careless! "
"That's right!" I didn't expect that I wouldn't have provoked it if I had known this! "
Zhao Xiaoxue felt a little regretful. If it wasn't for her impulsive action, Qing He wouldn't have been injured.
"Miss, your finger is still bleeding. How about the medical officer bandage it up for you?"
When they saw the abnormality, the court lady who was leading the way for the Southern King immediately rushed over. When she saw this, she quickly gave a suggestion.
Of course, this was not to say that all the palace maids could be so amiable towards a maidservant. This was because this maidservant was someone close to the Southern Wangfei. If she seemed so worried, the others naturally had to pay attention.
"Right, we do need to bandage it. If it's an infection, we'll be in trouble!"
Although the wound was small, as a doctor, he knew that a small wound could also be fatal. Rabies was one of them.
Since the young miss had spoken, the Qing He naturally complied. Just as the banquet was about to begin, Zhao Xiaoxue sent the Qing He to look for her at the banquet.
After Qing He left, Zhao Xiaoxue took another look at the little white rabbit. She was no longer in the mood to tease her, but she did not think of harming this little white rabbit. After all, harming Qing He was not all White Rabbit's fault.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Xiaoxue took the initiative to take Chu Yufeng's arm and began to walk forward. Although it hadn't been long, she felt that there was something strange about this man when they were next to a man. For a moment, Zhao Xiaoxue didn't know what was wrong, so she asked in a low voice:
"What's the matter with you?"
The man shook his head slightly when he heard the woman's question.
"It's nothing!"
The man's tone was very gentle, without any ripples to be seen. Zhao Xiaoxue's question was unreasonable, so naturally, she didn't pursue it any further.
"Wah!" There's a lot of people over there! "
It was very lively. Although Zhao Xiaoxue wasn't a particularly lively person, she didn't want to be followed by a rabbit for no reason. Once she arrived at a crowded place, the rabbit would probably leave, right?
"The Southern King and the Southern Princess have arrived!"
When they arrived at the pavilion, another palace maid shouted loudly. The originally lively crowd immediately quietened down, and upon hearing that the Southern King had arrived, everyone's gaze shifted over. Although Zhao Xiaoxue did not recognize the source of most of these gazes, there were still a few people that she recognized inside.
"Father!" "Big brother!"
In the crowd, that chubby figure was very eye-catching, and as a general, her big brother was also very powerful, not to be ignored. When Zhao Xiaoxue saw her family, she quickened her pace.
"Little Wu, daddy's precious daughter, quick... Let Father see! "
As soon as the declaration came up, she grabbed Zhao Xiaoxue and looked around, as if checking to see if she had lost an arm or a leg. This made Zhao Xiaoxue uncomfortable, after all, they had only separated for a few days, she didn't think that her father would miss her so much!
"Little Wu …" How have you been? "
Although he had carefully examined it, Xue Mingshu could not help but want to know more.
Regarding her father's actions, Zhao Xiaoxue was quite puzzled:
"Father, what happened to you?" I'm fine! "
Hearing her daughter's reply, Xue Zhuo said with tears in his eyes:
"Good!" "It's good that Little Wu is fine. Don't worry, as long as Daddy is here, I won't let anything happen to you!"
The declaration was firm.
"Right, Big Bro won't let anything happen to you either!"
At this moment, Xue Yishan also followed them.
Seeing her father and brother being so determined, the doubt in Zhao Xiaoxue's heart deepened. What happened to them? Was it because of the rabbit just now, or did they hear about what happened in the Gao Family?
But whether it was the incident with the rabbit or with the tall man's manor, it did not seem to pose a threat to her. Why did she need her father and elder brother to make such a solemn confession? She was truly overly concerned.
"Little Wu, come, sit over here!"
Xue Zhuo hadn't intended to let go of his daughter ever since he had held her hand. The banquet was about to start, and talking while standing was out of the question. The Xue Clan had quite a high status in the Southern Chu Country.
The reason was naturally not only because General Xue was a great general of the Southern Chu, but also because of the grand banquet tonight. Half of the money had been provided by Lord Snow from the Hong Dian Temple.
"No way!"
Zhao Xiaoxue was about to sit down when she was stopped by a purple figure.
