Hurry up and go straight to the West Prince's Mansion.
Dai Xiao, who was sitting on the horse and clutching Ximenzhe's clothes tightly, looked pale and was dripping with sweat.
This scene was so familiar. It brought her back to that drizzling day. She was also sitting behind Kuan Kuan, riding a horse and running wildly. She originally thought it was an escape, but unexpectedly it was the beginning of a nightmare...
By the time the horse stopped, Dai Xiao's fingers had become stiff and she couldn't loosen her grip on Ximenzhe's clothes.
Ximenzhe turned around, grabbed Dai Xiao's shoulder, and threw it away casually. Dai Xiao's clothes slipped from her fingertips. She was also thrown off the horse and was thrown to the ground. She was still in shock.[
"Come in." Ximenzhe took Dai Xiao into the Plum Blossom Courtyard of the West Prince's Mansion. "You are responsible for cleaning this place. It must be spotless. Not even a leaf is allowed in the courtyard."
"I clean everything here by myself." Dai Xiao looked at the large courtyard. Although it was only a corner of the Xiwang Mansion, it was as big as a wealthy family's house.
"That's right. From now on, you will only be responsible for this place." Ximen Zhe said. "From now on, you will be the slave of the West Prince's Mansion. If you can't finish your work, don't even think about leaving."
Well, it’s just hard work, isn’t it?
After Ximenzhe left, Dai Xiao picked up the big broom leaning in the corner and swept the yard. She hadn't done any hard work in so many years. She just cleaned. Although the place was a bit big, she just needed to work harder. It only takes more than two hours at most.
However, the hand that was scratched by the porcelain tiles in the flower pot happened to be that her right hand could not withstand long-term use. Dai Xiao's hand was holding the broom and kept waving it and rubbing it, and the pain became more and more painful.
Throwing away the broom and taking a breather, Dai Xiao thought of a more terrifying problem. When wiping things in the house, they would definitely get wet. Then wouldn't this hand be even worse?
Bastard King Xi, bastard of the Ximen family. What he did was really not a human thing to do. He just cleaned the yard and tortured her with the same intention as a punishment.
After finally finishing everything, the sun was almost setting. Dai Xiao raised her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her face. She took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped the wounds on her hands. It seemed that she would have to carry the golden sore medicine with her from now on.
Hiss..
Dai Xiao gasped for air.
"It's all done." Ximenzhe suddenly appeared behind Dai Xiao.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Xiao let go of her hand and turned around slowly.
He wanted to see himself frustrated. She had to act nonchalant. Let this guy see that she, Dai Xiao, would not be knocked down. It was just an injury to her hand. She was still very capable.
"Really?" Ximenzhe's voice sounded a little strange.
Why? Dai Xiao noticed something was wrong. She raised her eyes and saw that the originally clean yard was sprinkled with fallen leaves at some point.
It's still early in autumn and there's no wind or rain. How can the leaves fall so crazily? And it's obvious that every leaf is green and new.
Dai Xiao suddenly felt very angry. The King of the West didn't think he was tormenting her enough, so he continued to add insult to injury.
"King Xi, I want to resign." Dai Xiao swallowed back her anger. She clenched her left fist tightly. Her poor right hand couldn't even punch with anger.[
You have to be patient. You have to be patient. She is not alone. There is also Xiaodie. We must discuss it carefully. At worst, we won't make this money.
"It's up to you. The West Palace will never force anyone to stay," Ximenzhe said. "As long as you pay the money to compensate for breaking the contract, you can contact me wherever you want."
"What." Dai Xiao was stunned. She realized that she was bound by a contract again.
"Don't forget that you signed the contract yourself. Your daughter must act for the Queen Mother. You must also do things for the royal family. The West Palace naturally belongs to the royal family. I have reason to let you do anything. But it will end at the birthday banquet
Before, you had any reason to break the contract."
Ximenzhe said coldly. Just now he went to find Mo Qinghan and happened to see the contract.
Like Mo Qinghan, Ximenzhe could not help but be curious about the signature on the contract. Such handwriting was definitely not something that could only be written by someone who only knew how to write. It must have taken a long time of proficiency.
Ximenzhe stared at the face with the cowhide mask, which covered most of her face. She has such a beautiful daughter. Her appearance should not be bad. Is it because of the accident on this face?
Changes also occurred in her life, and she lost her previous comfort.
Ximenzhe took a step closer to Dai Xiao. His deep gaze fell on that half of his face. He felt a strong curiosity and wanted to take off the mask and take a closer look.
"What are you going to do?" Dai Xiao retreated unconsciously. With a bang, she knocked over the basin behind her. Before she could pour out the sewage, it spilled all over the floor. Her body also staggered involuntarily.
However, Dai Xiao did not fall down. Ximenzhe grabbed her and pulled her leaning body back. His sharp eyes met Dai Xiao's frightened eyes, and his warm breath was very close at hand.
"Ah..." It seems that I have returned to that terrifying rain. These eyes...
Dai Xiao couldn't help shouting.
Ximen Zhe let go of Dai Xiao and stood up straight. He smiled disdainfully after recovering from his curious thoughts. "Do you think you are interested in attracting this king?"
How could I lose my composure over an ugly face that I had just seen? Ximenzhe thought to himself while speaking.
Dai Xiao was speechless. Men are all like this. They are disgusted when they see their disguised face.
But isn't this exactly what you want to achieve after covering your face?
"If you don't want to break the contract and pay compensation, then work quickly. If you can't finish it before dark, today's wages will be deducted." Ximenzhe turned and left, leaving a few words.
"But..." Dai Xiao wanted to say, can you give her something to eat? From the time she left the troupe early in the morning to being taken to Prince Xuan's Mansion by Ximen Zhe, and then working until now, she only drank a few sips of cold water, and she was already hungry.
It's so flat that I can't even make a cooing sound.
"Say one more thing and I will deduct one day." Ximenzhe continued without looking back.
Dai Xiao was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth and did not dare to say a word.
"Don't even think about asking for mercy. Otherwise, the consequences will be more serious." Ximenzhe walked to the entrance of the Plum Blossom Court and added coldly.
After Ximenzhe left, Dai Xiao stomped her feet angrily. She had read the contract carefully. There should be no problem. It said that Xiaodie was going to rehearse for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. During this period, she was hired by the royal family.
Follow the orders. That's no problem. I can't act, and no one will use me to act. Naturally, I am a handyman. It doesn't matter what I am assigned to do. Who knows that Ximenzhe will seize this to make a big fuss and make things difficult?
Own.[
She couldn't find anyone to plead with, which meant that she was cut off from seeking help from Mo Qinghan. This Ximen Zhe had been stabbed a thousand times.
Everyone knows that the King of the West was famous all over the world. He broke out on horseback. He also committed rebellion by forcing the palace to rebel. He stayed in Wan'an Temple for eight years before returning to the court. It is bound to happen.
Restore the majesty of the past.
The King of the West, who was born as a soldier, naturally said that he was right. As long as he said such words and went to Mo Qinghan to complain, he would be digging his own dead end. Give Dai Xiao ten more courage. She would not dare to go against Ximen Zhe.
This Ximenzhe is really ruthless. He deserves not to have a woman as Princess Xi.
Dai Xiao scolded Ximenzhe while cleaning up the messy remnants of the Plum Blossom Garden. She only saw Ximenzhe's terrifying domineering attitude now. How could she have thought that Ximenzhe was such an approachable and sunny young man in the past.
