Chapter 8 It was him all along
Seeing such a scene, the right son who was serving on the side was suddenly like a thunderbolt on flat ground, and his whole body stiffened on the spot.
And on that round and lovely little face, there were almond-shaped eyes wide open, a small mouth slightly agape, staring at Xiang Siyan with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
She has been serving beside the Seventh Prince for at least three years, and she more or less understands his temperament.
The Seventh Prince usually has a soft and weak appearance, but once he decides on something, he won't change his mind, not even the current Emperor can do anything about it.
But now, because of this girl's one sentence in front of him, he immediately changed his mind, and that appearance, was clearly afraid that the girl would be unhappy.
At this sight, You Er's gaze towards Han Xi Dong was filled with a hint of admiration.
She had never noticed the adoring gaze of You Er, and although Xing Xiang had agreed to go with Han Xi Tong to the Prime Minister's residence, she couldn't bear to leave Han Xi Tong's side, as if she was afraid that Han Xi Tong would suddenly disappear like a fleeting dream.
She raised an eyebrow, a hint of distress flashing in her eyes, then blinked her pitiful phoenix eyes, her gaze sparkling as she looked at Han Xi with a soft voice.
"But, Tong Er, I don't want to leave you, what should we do? How about you accompany me to school instead?"
"Uh...this isn't good, is it?"
Hearing Xing's proposal, Han Xi felt it was inappropriate. After all, she wasn't a palace person, and if someone detected her, she might be mistaken for an assassin.
Although her martial arts skills are not weak, what if she implicates Xun Yan in trouble? In the imperial palace, this deep and grand mansion is different from ordinary people's homes. Every step must be carefully planned, and one cannot afford to take a wrong step.
Perhaps sensing Han Xi's concern, Xun Xiao smiled shallowly and said.
"There's nothing wrong with this, it's been decided like this. If you're worried, Concubine, you can change into a palace maid uniform and follow me around. No one will dare to touch you."
Xiao Ran's mind was made up, and Han Xi couldn't say anything more. So she could only nod in agreement.
At this, Xiang suddenly became unhappy and immediately looked up and shouted towards the outside of the door.
"Little brother."
"I'm here!"
At the sound of Cui's call, a 17 or 18-year-old eunuch in blue clothes immediately came from outside the door.
All that could be seen was that the eunuch had a slender build and wore a sky-blue eunuch uniform, but because he kept his head down, Han Xi couldn't see his face clearly.
However, for some reason, seeing the eunuch's figure, Han Xi always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. But for the time being, he couldn't remember.
He didn't notice Han Xi's thoughtful gaze at Xiao Dezi, or he would have been jealous.
After all, Han Xi Tong is the one he has set his sights on. From now on, no matter what's in her heart or eyes, it can only be him, Xuan Xiao Ran. Even if she were to become a eunuch, it wouldn't be allowed, because even a eunuch is still half a man!
"Xiao Dezi, attend to me and help me change my clothes. I'm going to the Shangshu room now. You, quickly bring a clean set of palace attire and attend to Tong'er as she changes."
"Yes."
Upon hearing Xiang's words, Xiao De and You Er simultaneously bowed their heads respectfully.
However, perhaps it was because he was a little curious about Han Xi Tong. After all, Han Xi Tong was an enigma to them, and today the Seventh Prince had specifically instructed that no one was allowed to mention Han Xi Tong's affairs. So, Xiao Dezi was extremely curious about Han Xi Tong.
However, he didn't know that curiosity kills the cat. When he timidly raised his head and took a sneak peek at the girl sitting next to Xun Shaoyan, when that familiar pretty face entered his line of sight, Xiao Dezi only felt a loud "boom" in his head, as if struck by lightning, stiff like a stone statue!
He immediately let out a cry of surprise and stared at Han Xi's eyes with a look of shock, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg.
At the same time, it was not just Xiao Dezi who was surprised.
When Han Xi Tong saw Xiao Dezi's true face, she was also shocked, but quickly came back to her senses. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Dezi with a hint of teasing in her eyes, especially when she saw how stunned he was after seeing her, clearly frightened by her appearance.
All he saw was a eunuch kneeling on the ground, with long and clear eyebrows, skin as white as snow. Wasn't he the little eunuch she caught first last night?!
Thinking of last night's incident, Han Xi still finds it amusing. She didn't expect that her first time going to a brothel would end up with her abducting a eunuch.
But this thing is an interesting matter in Han Xi's eyes, but it has become a nightmare for someone!
I thought last night's incident was just a nightmare, but when Xiaodezi got up from the icy ground, I realized everything was real. Although my heart still had lingering fears, I secretly rejoiced that the woman who had planned to "rob" me of my chastity last night was nowhere to be seen. I thought I would never see her again, but unexpectedly, not only did I see her, but it was under these circumstances.
Good heavens, she's the woman of the Seventh Prince, this is something that everyone in the entire Zi Yue Palace knows.
If she wanted him dead now, it wouldn't take much effort at all!
The more he thought about it, Xiao Dezi's face turned pale in an instant.
Noticing Xiao Dezi's unusual expression, Xuan Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong, Little Dezi?"
"Good for nothing... this..."
Upon hearing Xiang's words, Xiao Dezi suddenly realized that he was staring straight at Han Xi's eyes, which was extremely disrespectful and made his heart jump in fright. After all, this was the woman of the Seventh Prince...
Thinking of this, Xiao Dezi immediately cried with a sad face, sincerely fearful and lowered his head, his whole body began to tremble.
Although he looks weak and delicate as the seventh prince of his family, Xiao Dezi naturally knows that it's just a disguise after following him for a long time.
After all, having witnessed the master of his own family joking and killing people in a shapeless manner, with just one flick of his finger being able to twist someone's neck, he wouldn't be so stupid as to think that his own master is easy to mess with.
Xiao Dezi was terrified in his heart and couldn't even speak.
Han Xi Tong saw it too, and he also knew that he was scared out of his wits. He didn't want to make things difficult for him either. After all, as a palace slave now, his status was lowly, and his life was worthless. If he slightly displeased the master, he would be beaten at best, or lose his life at worst.
Thinking of this, Han Xi couldn't help but sigh, and then thought that no matter what she said yesterday, it was all her fault. So, with a flicker of her eyes and a curl of her lips, she reached out to stroke her smooth and delicate cheek, and smiled brightly at Xiang Shao Ran, who looked puzzled.
"Haha, he must have seen my appearance and thought it was too beautiful, so he got scared. Well, this is not surprising, I am naturally beautiful and can't help it..."
