"Did you see that in broad daylight?" Xuanyuan Qi came back to his senses and suddenly stepped forward. He stretched out his hand and pushed, causing the little girl, who was in a daze, to fall unconscious on the floor.

"Your Highness!" "Your Highness, what happened to you?" Ling Er felt something was wrong, so she squatted down a step faster than Xuanyuan Qi and took a deep breath. She found that it was a little weak.

"He won't die!" Let's see what else she can pull off! " Although Xuanyuan Qi had already seen the weirdness, he still said those harsh words.

"Your Highness, Your Highness's breathing is very weak. You should send the imperial physician over to take a look. If …" Ling Er swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue when she saw Xuanyuan Qi's murderous gaze.

"Isn't it better to die? If she dies, then Crown Prince's Wife's position will be yours." Xuanyuan Qi said without any expression, but his gaze was already on Xuanyuan Qi's small face.

After a closer look, he realized that this girl was not faking it. However, no one else entered the room. Just what happened to scare her to such an extent? He looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, a vague illusion flashed through his mind. His gaze fell on the mirror.

"Ling Er doesn't dare!" "Ling Er doesn't dare!" Upon hearing these words, the sweat on Ling Er's forehead flowed as she excitedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Ling Er's actions made Xuanyuan Qi a little curious. He remembered the night she was sent here, she was still kneeling on the ground begging for glory and wealth, there was no reason why Crown Prince's Wife's position wasn't attractive.

Lowering his head and bending his body, he lifted Ling Er's chin with his hand and carefully observed this seemingly delicate girl before him. His half-closed eyes revealed a faint murderous intent.

Ling Er didn't dare to raise her head. She even felt a bit regretful that she had pleaded for mercy for such a small matter. She rolled her eyes in panic, unable to hide the uneasiness in her heart.

"Are you afraid?" He sneered with a bit of suspicion and a bit of sarcasm.

After pausing for a moment, Xuanyuan Qi said again: "How about, this prince bestows you a side concubine, what do you think?" No... "Absolutely not, this is too unfair to Crown Prince's Wife." When Ling Er heard this, she became even more nervous, as if the man in front of her was as doting as hell.

Xuanyuan Qi stared at Ling Er and laughed instead of getting angry. He then got up and walked to the door. He turned his head and said expressionlessly, "Then continue with your lowly life. If someone dies, you'll suffer misfortune. Find an imperial physician to come and see you!" After the footsteps had left, Ling Er raised her head to look at the disappearing figure, then looked down at the tiny figure on the ground.

Xiaoxiao also heard the sound of footsteps leaving. She opened her eyes, looked at Ling Er's depressed gaze, took a deep breath with a tired face, and closed her eyes again.

Xuanyuan Qi charged towards the other courtyard that was not far away with a belly full of anger.

After his figure disappeared, the figure behind the fake mountain revealed a face. It was a face full of imperfections. If one were to call it a face, it would be more accurate to call it a mask. It was a terrifying mask that was difficult to describe with words. The man's eyes revealed a terrible calmness that would have sent chills down one's spine had it been night.

After the rouge hall's figure disappeared, the figure behind the fake mountain revealed a face. It was a face full of imperfections. If one were to call it a face, it would be more accurate to call it a mask. It was a terrifying mask that was difficult to describe with words. The man's eyes revealed a terrible calmness that would have sent chills down one's spine had it been night.

"..." Thus, after a few days, Xuanyuan Qi did not appear in Mi Xiaoxiao's yard again. I heard that the man went to his concubine Lan Yuyan's courtyard and didn't step out of the house for a few days and nights.

Ling Er, on the other hand, had been quietly standing by Xiaoxiao's side, wholeheartedly taking up her duties as a servant.

Life had become peaceful for Xiaoxiao, and there was only the master and his servant in this large courtyard. From the perspective of the other servants, this place had already become a cold palace.

The cold palace was not cold, but it was cold.

It had been several sleepless nights since Xiaoxiao had seen her reflection in the mirror, even though she had always said to herself, "If you want to come, then come." However, she still felt uneasy. As long as she closed her eyes, her mind would be filled with that image.

"Your Highness, it's not good for you to stay in the house like this." Ling Er held the freshly brewed sugar water in her hands and carefully placed it on the table.

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao thoughtfully nodded her head, and lazily shifted her gaze to Ling Er's face.

Ling Er lowered her head. She always felt that her small gaze could see through a person's heart. Even though she was already used to living here, she still didn't dare to look straight into his eyes.

"That rouge hall …?" Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Er suspiciously.

Actually, she had wanted to ask Ling Er why she had appeared in the bridal chamber that night, and what made a woman who didn't want to be a concubine give her virginity to a man who didn't love her, and then be very willing to be a servant.

However, when the words were about to reach her mouth, she felt that it was not the time yet. Her eyes wandered and she changed the topic to rouge hall.

Hearing that, Ling Er immediately turned around and walked out the door to look around. Then, she walked back into the house and closed the door. "Your Highness, you'd better not go to that place. I heard …" Hear what? " It would be a wonder if he didn't let her go. Furthermore, when she saw Ling Er's expression, her interest was immediately piqued. Unable to wait any longer, she shook Ling Er's shoulders and asked urgently, "Quickly tell me!" I heard that place is a bit of a ruckus... Haunted! " Ling Er whispered, but she could not hide the fear and trepidation on her face.

"Haunted?" As she repeated it, she couldn't help but replay the scene from that day in her mind. Suddenly, she took a cold breath and swallowed her saliva. She blinked her eyes as her curiosity was suppressed by the fear in her heart.

"A few nights before you entered the palace, Ling Er went to deliver a gift to His Highness and coincidentally met with a thief in the palace. When she was passing by the rouge hall, she saw a little girl running into the palace. The next day, I heard from the palace manager that someone had died in a dried up well behind rouge hall. I went to take a look, and the one who died was the girl that I bumped into that night. The more Xiaoxiao heard, the more scared she became. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you mean a well without water?" "Yes!" Ling Er nodded solemnly at Xiaoxiao. Her face turned pale, and her body shivered as the image of the little girl remained in her mind.

Seeing Ling Er nod, the little girl wrinkled her little face. A blurry image flashed in her mind, causing her to immediately mutter to herself confidently: "What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, I've already died once. If it was King Yan, he would have already accepted me." "What did you say, Your Highness?" Ling Er could vaguely hear a sound coming from her little mouth, but she couldn't hear it clearly.

"It's fine, I've stayed in this room for too long, I should go out for a walk." After saying that, she tugged her sleeves that were a little too long and walked out of the door without waiting for Ling Er's reply.

As a little girl, Ling Er had no choice but to follow behind him, following his small steps to the other courtyards.

After exiting the Longxi Hall, Xiaoxiao went straight to the main topic, and casually arrived at the entrance of the rouge hall.
