Perhaps due to good luck, it was already midnight when Sima Xin sent Xiao Lili back to Liqing Palace. Ruyi, who had been worried all day, was so happy that she almost fainted when she saw Xiao Lili back safely.
, she grabbed Xiao Lili's sleeve and cried non-stop. After all, if servants like them were discovered to have abandoned their master and came back on their own, it would definitely be a death penalty.
Xiao Lili comforted Ruyi who was crying a few times. When she noticed that Sima Xin was about to leave, she quickly left Ruyi behind and rushed out of the room to catch him: "Axin, are you leaving?
"
"Yes, empress, I am not from the Liqing Palace. I cannot walk around the harem at this time. If I am discovered, it will be a death penalty." Sima Xin did not alarm other palace people, but if he continues to stay, it will only increase the number of people.
chance of being discovered.
"Then if I have a chance to leave the palace next time, can I see you again?" Xiao Lili knew that she shouldn't leave Sima Xin like this, but at this moment she didn't want him to leave!
Sima Xin hesitated. It was already very risky to follow Xiao Lili out this time. He might be discovered next time, but... he didn't want to refuse her. If Xiao Lili didn't leave the harem, it would be impossible for him as a foreign minister to see her.
of: "It should be possible..."
"Seven days, I will go out of the palace again after seven days. After all, I didn't buy anything this time, so I will go out again after seven days. I hope... I hope you can still come and protect me." Xiao Lili couldn't help but say this.
After a pause, he continued to speak, "Protect Xue'er..."
"Okay." Sima Xin nodded with a smile, not daring to stay any longer, turned around and walked into the darkness.
After seeing Sima Xin's figure disappear completely, Xiao Lili turned around and entered the palace room. She looked at Ruyi whose eyes were red from crying and sighed: "I'm sorry, I almost hurt you."
"Mother, let's not go out again. It's too dangerous..." Ruyi was really frightened. She would rather be a little palace maid in Liqing Palace forever. That kind of extra money is not what her little palace maid can earn.
of.
"Next time... I'll just go out by myself."
"Empress!" Ruyi looked at Xiao Lili in fear, "Why are you going out alone..."
Xiao Lili was stunned for a moment. It was actually a lie when she said she would leave the palace to purchase materials in person. After all, the things that can enter the palace are naturally the best. How can a woman who leaves the palace buy better things as a commoner? But
Emperor Zhan needed her and loved her, so he agreed to her proposal and even let her come and go as she pleased with the token to leave the palace.
But Xiao Lili was not a fool no matter how much she relied on Chong to be coquettish. She knew very well that the frequent visits of concubines in the harem to the palace would only make everyone suspicious, including Emperor Zhan.
The men of Feng State have always had a strong desire to control, let alone Emperor Zhan. It is difficult for men of Feng State to tolerate their women doing small things behind their backs. It is okay for her to leave the palace once, but frequently
Not to mention that the palace maids and eunuchs were scared when they came in and out, she herself was also uneasy.
only……
"I will go out once in seven days, just once." Xiao Lili promised Ruyi, "I will go out with you and bring a few guards with me. That's okay, right? And you didn't exchange anything for money today."
Do you plan to rely on that meager salary all the time? "
After hearing Yinzi, Ruyi hesitated for a while before nodding: "Then... the last time." Perhaps due to good luck, it was already midnight when Sima Xin sent Xiao Lili back to Liqing Palace, and he was very nervous.
Ruyi, who had been working all day, was even more happy when she saw Xiao Lili coming back safely. She almost fainted. She grabbed Xiao Lili's sleeves and cried non-stop. After all, if someone found out that these servants had left their master behind,
If he comes back, he will definitely be punished by death.
Xiao Lili comforted Ruyi who was crying a few times. When she noticed that Sima Xin was about to leave, she quickly left Ruyi behind and rushed out of the room to catch him: "Axin, are you leaving?
