Chapter 12.1: hand it over

Heart-Penetrating Arrow. I didn’t think someone besides Yun Ruofeng would know this move.

She hadn’t been reborn for long before was reminded of the formidable power and callousness of the Heart-Penetrating Arrow.

Pei Qianhao’s voice was cold and stern. “Since you’re already here, why don’t you show yourself? It’s just a palace maid from the Palace Side Quarters, but she was worthy for you to deploy the Heart-Penetrating Arrow?”

Su Xi-er clenched her fists for a moment before relaxing.

If Mu Tao hadn’t said that sentence, would she still be alive? This implies that this person actually wants to kill the palace maid who was in the woods by the Palace Side Quarters and associated with Prince Hao!

Mu Tao had become a scapegoat…

“Su Xi-er, are you still alright?” When he saw that her forehead was soaked with cold sweat, Pei Qianhao furrowed his brow.

“Who killed Mu Tao?” Su Xi-er’s voice was genuinely shaking at this point. This time, she wasn’t pretending.

“I don’t know.”

Su Xi-er was taken aback. “Mu Tao had died because of that sentence.”

“Su Xi-er…” Pei Qianhao’s voice suddenly lowered his voice. Then, he continued, “Was the person in the woods you?”

“This servant only wants to lead my whole life safe and sound. I won’t think much about other things. Besides, with this figure of mine, this servant would definitely not have been able to attack you.” Su Xi-er lowered her head and appeared to be feeling very wronged.

“Is that so?” Pei Qianhao raised his intonation as he replied, his face full of query.

Su Xi-er gritted her teeth.

If I admit it, the person hidden in the dark would kill me with an arrow.

I still have many things I have yet to accomplish. I don’t know how Nanzhao’s imperial palace and Lianchen are right now. I absolutely can’t die!

“Prince Hao, this servant only wants to continue living with my lot in life.” She raised her head. The rims of her eyes were brimming with tears as she appeared very pitiful.

This appearance could tug at the heartstrings of any man.

“Someone will send dinner to you later.” Pei Qianhao sent her into the room.

As for the person hidden in the dark, he would naturally take care of it.

Su Xi-er sat down as the doors to the room closed, the deafening silence serving as the only backdrop to her thoughts. Although her intuition told her that she was already in deep trouble, she didn’t even know who was attacking her.

Pausing here, she couldn’t help but become vexed.

If I hadn’t walked to the wrong place last night, I wouldn’t have bumped into Prince Hao and I wouldn’t have so many troublesome matters now.

Damned Prince Hao, why did you run into the woods beside the Palace Side Quarters for no reason!

Kerchak!

The door was pushed open and a palace maid carrying dinner walked in. Her eyes were filled with contempt as she mumbled incessantly, “Still needing me to serve a person who is about to die.”

Su Xi-er watched the palace maid put her dinner down and deliberately asked, “Who is about to die?”

The palace maid snorted coldly. “Of course it’s you. The other palace maid who came with you had her body disposed of just now. You’ll soon follow. The people who have come here don’t live long.”

“Could you tell me where this place is?” This palace was very near to the Cold Palace. Although it was currently dilapidated, she could tell from the interior design that the previous owner had definitely had a certain amount of status.
