185. As soon as you make a move: you will know if there is one
When Mu Jieyu heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately ran into the rockery cave with his belt tag, used his inner strength to quickly dry the soaked clothes, and then clumsily tied up an ordinary palace maid's hair. Just smear it on your face, and soon your elegant and beautiful face will become bland.
This time, Mu Jieyu acted much more conveniently. Although he still avoided the searching guards, if there was something unavoidable, Mu Jieyu would respectfully step aside to make way. When he encountered someone who was suspicious, Mu Jieyu would show his face. The waist badge said that he was delivering a message to the Summer Palace on behalf of the Queen.
Mu Jieyu had an unobstructed journey until she arrived at the Summer Palace and showed her Fengzao Palace badge. When she was about to step into the gate of the Summer Palace, she was scolded by a voice.
"stop."
The young man's voice was arrogant but cold, and there was no denying that the voice had a moving magnetism. The one who could appear in the palace at this time must be a certain underage prince, but Mu Jieyu knew that only the fourth prince believed in Concubine Shu. For an adult son, of course, King Xin’s presence in the palace had been premeditated and he had naturally made an excuse.
"Which palace did you say you were from?" Just when Mu Jieyu was wondering, the young man had already walked in front of her. He was half a head taller than her and stood in front of her and asked her coldly.
"This servant is the maid of Sasao of Fengzao Palace." Mu Jieyu bowed first, then lowered his eyebrows and answered cautiously.
"Raise your head!" the boy ordered.
Mu Jieyu had to raise his head carefully, but still lowered his eyes. Due to his height, Mu Jieyu opened his eyes slightly and looked at the boy without any trace. This glance almost didn't make Mu Jieyu's heart beat.
It was really a leaky house and it rained all night, so I unexpectedly bumped into the Eighth Prince here!
At the recognition banquet in Dexinyuan, Mu Jieyu looked at everyone under the introduction of Prince Jing. Her memory was so good that she could remember people with just one look.
There is no doubt that the genes of the Xuanyuan royal family cannot be chosen. Naturally, the eighth prince, the queen's legitimate son and brother of the prince, who is just seventeen this year, is also a talented person.
His appearance is very similar to Xuanyuan Zhichen's, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to have the gentle and tolerant demeanor of Xuanyuan Zhichen. Anyway, he has a kind of superiority and arrogance. His slender eyes are still dark, but when he looks at them, One can't help but think of the wild wolf on the Lonely Mountain, cold and cruel. But the seventeen-year-old boy has a sadistic and gloomy air wrapped around him.
They are obviously two brothers with the same father and mother, and their looks are so similar, but one of them is as high and bright as the rising sun in the sky, while the other is as cold and cold as the weak waters of hell.
"Why haven't I seen you before?" The eighth prince Xuanyuan Zhijue looked at Mu Jieyu with cold eyes.
Mu Jieyu lowered his head shyly, and unconsciously pulled the silk in his hand: "Slave... I am only responsible for sweeping the side hall, how can I have the honor to let His Highness remember..."
Fengzao Palace is the main palace, and there are at least three to four hundred maids in one palace. As a prince who is still studying in the imperial school, Xuanyuan Zhijue has a heavy coursework. You can imagine how heavy his studies are. It would be good if the palace maid remembered clearly, but how could she possibly remember who there were in Fengzao Palace?
"Since you are just a low-class palace maid responsible for cleaning, why would the Queen Mother send you out late at night!"
