C3 Longevity Lock

The eunuch who accompanied her did not have the slightest bit of pity. His callused hand swept across her face, and the pain only increased a bit, but just now, there was a bloody smell coming from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Song Xi's cold eyes in disbelief, but she bit her lips and did not dare to speak.

Song Xi brushed past Chu Yunxi as if she didn't see her. She naturally sat down on the bed and held Yuan Jinsi's hand as she said, "You weren't scared, right?"

Jin Se shook his head, then took back his hand. His expression was extremely forced.

"Reporting to the princess, what about the sewers?" The eunuch accompanying them seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma.

Chu Yunxi's eyes were filled with confusion, then she covered her mouth and started to sob softly. Yuan Jinsi pursed her lips with a smile, then turned her head to look at the cowering Chu Yunxi before pulling Song Xi's sleeve, "Elder Sister Chu, perhaps it's because my body is weak right now, but she thinks I'm a bit easier to bully."

Everyone knew that the Grand Princess and Miss Chu had been at loggerheads since they were young. When the eunuch who came with her heard her words and was about to sew up Chu Yunxi's sleeves, he heard a mumbling sound. He looked at Song Xi but did not receive any response.

Seeing that they were almost dragged to the entrance, Yuan Jinsi turned around and said softly into Song Xi's eyes, "The Palace has been deserted for a few days, and Big Sister Chu's teasing is quite interesting today. Ah Chao, you two have been familiar with each other since you were young, so don't take it to heart. Just let Big Sister Chu know the rules of the Palace."

Song Xi turned her head from side to side as she stared at Yuan Jinsi and tried to figure out what she meant by her tone. After a long while, she finally nodded. Chu Yunxi, who had stopped not far from the door, was like a fish on a chopping block. She exhaled as if she was pardoned and she sat down on the ground.

"Why aren't you kneeling down to thank the princess for her gift?" The eunuch that accompanied them whispered into Chu Yunxi's ears before he kneeled down and returned to where he was standing.

Chu Yunxi couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw those icy cold eyes of hers. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Thank you, Princess."

Those vicious eyes seemed to have been poisoned, and Chu Yunxi looked as if she was about to tear apart the golden silk. However, the anger that filled her heart began to show signs of cowardice in her eyes, as she felt that the golden silk was even more cautious than before.

"Ah Chao, my ears are hurting." Yuan Jinsi retracted his deep gaze and pursed his lips with a sullen expression.

"The princess is weak. In the future, without permission, no one is allowed to trespass into the Palace and be punished for violating the rules of the Palace."

She didn't mention a single word of Chu Yunxi's injury, nor did she show any signs of concern. There was only an obscure warning, cold to the point of making Chu Yunxi's expression extremely ugly, but she didn't dare to say anything in the end. She didn't have the guts to retort, because her father had passed away.

Or it could be said that she loved Song Xi, so she shifted all of the displeasure and hatred in her heart onto Yuan Jinsi. The pain from the corner of her mouth caused her to suck in a breath of cold air before she stood up with difficulty and gritted her teeth as she left.

The only thing left in the hall was the fragrance of the Gardenia Flower that had been washed away by the rain. In the incense burner made of gold, only half of the lost spice remained.

"I've ordered someone to make you sweet soup for the summer." Song Xicheng pushed the strands of hair in front of Yuan Jinsi's forehead behind his ears. His actions were gentle as if he was looking at a rare treasure. The moment he finished speaking, the eunuch carrying the soup already anxiously stepped into the Palace.

It was the lotus seed soup. Song Xi took the lotus seed soup from the young eunuch's hand and gently scooped a spoonful. He blew on it a few times before bringing it to Yuan Jinsi's mouth.

He extended his hand to receive the jade bowl in his hand and said with a fake smile, "I'll do it myself. You take your time, I don't feel good eating anything that I eat."

As the material rubbed against his skin, Song Xizhan frowned. However, in the next second, he returned to normal and quickly lowered his sleeves. He looked at the smiling young girl and unconsciously curled the corner of his mouth.

After a short while, the guard knocked on the door frame, breaking the rare silence.

Song Xi only turned her head to glance at him and frowned when she saw him. She then turned her head and pretended to be relaxed as she gently caressed the ends of her beautiful hair, "Rest well, I'll be back soon."

Seeming to be afraid that Yuanjin Se would ask something to hasten Song Xianzi's pace, before quietly closing the door and leaving the room, her gaze once again paused on the bed. As if she felt the gaze but did not turn her head, only waiting for the door to completely close did she turn around and stare at the empty door for a long time.

"Princess, are you full?" The palace maid who had been standing by the side all this time noticed the change, and asked in a low voice.

She covered her mouth and yawned, then lazily lay down and tucked into the bed. She stretched out her hands and caressed the pillow for a long time, before finally taking out a longevity lock that was tied with a red string, the last thing her father and mother left for her. The sound of the bell ringing when she was young really caught her attention, and after she was young, she stuffed it under her pillow.

Her mind was filled with the bloody scene of Yuan Jinsi closing her eyes tightly and her lips could not help but start to tremble. She was waiting, waiting for the day when she could personally kill her so-called enemy.

At the same time, the person outside the door was not in a hurry to leave. In his hand was a slip of paper about the size of two fingers. His wrist was completely red, which was quite shocking.

The morning dew was picked by him a few days ago, the lotus seed was carefully chosen by him, and this morning's delay was also due to the lotus seed soup. He only heard that someone had gone to Jinsi Palace to make a ruckus before hurriedly rushing back, and when he was in a hurry he unintentionally scalded himself, not wanting someone to worry so he came over.

From the beginning to the end, he had always felt like he was on the tip of his heart.

The security guard frowned as he whispered, "Your Majesty, the paper can't contain the fire, the princess will eventually find out."

The piece of paper in his hand was already crumpled. His sharp gaze turned towards the guard. Although he didn't say anything, his deep gaze caused people's hearts to tremble. The guard knew that he had lost his tongue and lowered his head, not saying another word.

Song Xi quietly left on the stone path, but when she reached the end of the veranda, she stopped and looked back at the tightly shut door.

Only two words were written on the paper, Prince.
