Chapter 36.1: dare to not believe this prince
Miss Qing saw the joy on Su Xi-erâs countenance and became even more upset.
But this is the Palace Side Quarters so I canât let my temper flare up completely. Elder Brother Wu had ordered me before I came to inconspicuously pass the note to Su Xi-er.
As for the contents of the note, she didnât look at it, nor did she dare to.
However, after Su Xi-er discovered the note, the delight on her face made Miss Qing extremely uncomfortable!
âMiss Qing, thank you.â Su Xi-er grasped the note tightly in her hand.
âRemember what you have told me. Donât have wishful thinking about people you shouldnât forge connections with.â Miss Qingâs voice was very low and carried a threatening tone.
âThis servant knows, please donât worry, Miss Qing.â
After Miss Qing received Su Xi-erâs assurance, the former heaved a sigh of relief. âThat is still acceptable.â She then turned and walked forward.
Some palace maids witnessed this scene and couldnât help but be curious in their hearts.
How did Su Xi-er offend Miss Qing? Judging from that attitude just now, it felt as if Miss Qing was going to strangle Su Xi-er to death.
Su Xi-er returned to her room with the note. After she closed the door, she immediately opened the white note up to find five large words written with forceful brush strokes.
Eunuch Zhang, Imperial Household Department
Hm? The one who took Ruo Yuan away was Eunuch Zhang? The Imperial Household Department arranges the assignment of old maidservants, palace maids and eunuchs to the respective palaces, as well as handles various miscellaneous goods. Is it because Ruo Yuan is strong? Thatâs why she went to the Imperial Household Department to work for Eunuch Zhang by carrying out manual labour and moving items?â
Su Xi-er was slightly relieved. Finally, she lit a candle and burned the note.
After tidying up, she laid down on the bed to rest.
Staying there until nightfall, she only woke up when Hong Li came to call her to eat dinner. After freshening herself up simply, she opened the door and prepared to leave.
However, Su Xi-er absolutely didnât expect she would see
him
right after she opened the door.
Pei Qianhao! What about Hong Li? Where did she go? Just a moment ago, she was still calling me to go for dinner, but thereâs no sign of her now.
âThis servant pays my respectsâŠâ She was about to bow when a large hand pressed against her shoulder and pushed her into the room.
As soon as the door closed, Pei Qianhaoâs stare made it seem as if he was trying to bore a hole through her.
Why is he looking at me like this?
Su Xi-er was perplexed as she looked at him. When she saw that he didnât speak for a long time, she broke the silence, âMany thanks to Prince Hao for investigating Ruo Yuanâs matter. Since she is in the Imperial household Department, I reckon that she was called over by Eunuch Zhang to do work.â
Although Pei Qianhao chuckled, his tone was unfriendly. âNo need to thank this prince. You exchanged it with your kiss.â
The atmosphere immediately became awkward. The passionate scene from last night engulfed Su Xi-erâs mind in an instant.
âI wonder why you came to look for this servant today, Prince Hao?â She didnât understand.
Even though the Empress Dowager has caused such a large commotion with her tantrum just for Prince Hao, he still chose to come here and trouble me instead of going to the Compassionate Peace Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager.
âWhat do you think?â Pei Qianhao walked closer to her step by step. This feeling made Su Xi-er very uncomfortable.
