Chapter 153 The Girl in the House
Chapter 153 The Girl in the House
The two had no choice but to remain standing.
After a long while, the bedroom door in the courtyard finally opened.
The two immediately straightened their backs.
Shadow Falcon glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.
His face was expressionless, just like usual.
The two immediately went to greet him, about to speak and report.
But then he saw his lord raise his hand and straighten his collar.
Just that one moment.
The collar was slightly turned up, revealing a small section of skin.
The Shadow Falcon's gaze fell precisely on that spot, and a red mark flashed past the edge of its collar.
The movement was quick, and the collar was covered.
But in that instant, he also saw clearly that the mark was obviously made by a fingernail.
The Shadow Falcon realized something, and its eyelids twitched.
He immediately lowered his eyes, unable to look any longer.
Feng Xi, who was a step behind him, also saw it.
Feng Xi opened her mouth, then closed it again.
It closes, then opens again.
He moved his throat but didn't dare to make a sound.
The two stood still, eyes downcast and mindful of their surroundings, neither daring to move.
My breathing became a little lighter.
Yu Chen glanced at them and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Shadow Falcon took a deep breath, his voice still relatively steady.
"Your Highness, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue have arrived, along with clerks from the Ministry of War."
"Okay," Yu Chen replied. "Let's go."
Shadow Falcon and Feng Xi quickly followed behind, falling two steps behind.
Feng Xi desperately tried to signal to Ying Jun with his eyes.
"Did you see that?"
Shadow Falcon didn't look at him.
Feng Xi noticed that the tips of his ears were slightly red.
Seeing that Shadow Falcon ignored him, he couldn't help but give him a wink.
"That's...that's..."
Shadow Falcon took a deep breath and finally turned his head to look at him.
They didn't say anything.
But Feng Xi understood.
To shut up.
Feng Xi immediately shut his mouth, staring straight ahead as if nothing had happened.
But the red mark in my mind kept flashing.
The marks on the prince's neck, made by his fingernails, couldn't have been made by him.
Feng Xi took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
Yu Chen took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped.
Shadow Falcon and Feng Xi followed behind, nearly colliding with each other, and quickly braked.
"Feng Xi".
Upon hearing this, Feng Xi jumped forward and said, "Your Highness."
Yu Chen didn't turn around. "Go and pick two maids."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xi was taken aback.
Maid?
He looked up at his lord's back.
I thought I had heard it wrong.
"Wait outside the courtyard gate." Yu Chen paused. "Wait for her to wake up."
she?
After the words were spoken, Feng Xi finally realized what was happening.
He secretly grumbled to himself, wondering why they suddenly wanted to transfer the maids.
Feng Xi swallowed hard and replied, "Yes."
He turned and left.
Shadow Falcon stood still, its eyes lowered.
Yu Chen continued forward, took a few steps, and then suddenly spoke again, "Let's find a quiet place."
Shadow Falcon paused for a moment before realizing that he was speaking to Feng Xi.
Although Feng Xi had already walked far away, his voice still carried back, "Yes."
……
In the bedroom, Su Wuli shifted her body.
My whole body aches and feels weak; even moving a little feels strenuous.
She lay there staring at the bed curtains above her head, lost in thought for a moment.
Yesterday's events are slowly coming to light.
Bathtub, bedroom, and this morning...
My face started to feel hot again.
Su Wuli turned her head and glanced to the side; he wasn't there.
The area around it was empty, with only slight marks on the mattress.
She reached out and touched it.
It's cold; they must have walked for a long time.
Su Wuli lay there, unsure of what to do.
After hesitating for a moment, he still called out, "Yu Chen..."
Her voice was hoarse, and she startled herself when she spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight noise came from outside the door.
Then the door was pushed open.
Two girls dressed in blue came in, carrying a basin and a handkerchief.
They kept their heads down and walked very lightly, as if afraid of startling something.
The one walking in front looked up and glanced at the bedside.
Then he froze.
The person behind also looked up and froze.
Both faces wore the same expression, as if they had seen something rare and unusual.
It was undisguisedly stunning.
Su Wuli lay on the bed and was stunned when she met those two gazes.
After a moment, I realized what I looked like.
She looked down and saw that she was not wearing anything, with the blanket covering her shoulders.
Something is showing near the collarbone.
The red and purple ones look particularly...
Su Wuli suddenly pulled up the blanket, wrapping herself up tightly, leaving only her head sticking out.
The two began to introduce themselves.
"This servant is Qiaosheng."
"This servant is Chuhe."
"We two servants are here to serve you, young lady."
Hearing this, Su Wuli smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Su Wuli." She then added, "I don't need to be served, I can do it myself..."
The two men paused for a moment after he finished speaking.
Almost simultaneously, they knelt down.
The sound of knees hitting the ground was very soft, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
They lowered their heads, not daring to look at her, their voices trembling slightly.
"Please forgive me, young lady."
Su Wuli was completely stunned when she saw them kneeling on the ground.
"You...you get up..." she said quickly, "That's not what I meant..."
The two people on the ground remained kneeling, not daring to move.
Seeing this, Su Wuli tried to sit up, but her body was too sore to move.
Her voice was soft and lacked any assertiveness. "I can really do it myself. It's none of your business."
Qiaosheng raised her head slightly, glanced at her quickly, and then lowered her eyes again.
"It was the Prince's order," she whispered, "that we servants wait outside the door until the young lady wakes up..."
Su Wulizi lay on the bed, looking at the two girls kneeling on the ground, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of the wind outside the window could be heard.
"You..." Su Wuli began, "Get up first."
The two men glanced at her, then lowered their eyes again.
"What are your orders, young lady?"
What are your instructions?
Su Wuli looked at them, pondered for a moment, and realized that she could do it herself.
But seeing the two kneeling on the ground, he could only say, "I...I want some water."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiaosheng, who was kneeling in front, immediately stood up, walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it over with both hands.
Su Wuli took the cup and took a sip.
The water was lukewarm, just right for drinking.
She finished her drink and handed the cup back, saying, "Thank you."
As soon as the words were spoken, the two men immediately kowtowed, "Miss, you mustn't!"
Helpless, Su Wuli quickly agreed, and they stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to take the cup.
He put it back on the table and then came back.
The two of them stood together by the bed, waiting.
Su Wuli lay on the bed, feeling uncomfortable under the gazes of two people.
"You..." She pursed her lips, "You don't need to stand here, I can do it myself..."
The two exchanged a glance but did not move.
"It was the prince's order," Qiaosheng said again, "that the servants should help the young lady with her washing up."
Knowing she couldn't go against their wishes, Su Wuli had no choice but to compromise.
"Well..." she thought for a moment, "I want to change my clothes."
The two immediately responded, walked to the cabinet, and opened the cabinet door.
There were several pieces of clothing neatly folded inside, all of which were bought yesterday.
The two men turned to look at her, waiting for her to choose.
Su Wuli casually pointed to the light apricot-colored dress.
Chuhe took it and held it in her hands, then walked back to the bedside.
Qiaosheng stepped forward and reached out to help her up.
Su Wuli looked at the outstretched hand, her face showing a hint of shyness.
"I'll do it myself..."
Qiaosheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly took a step back.
Su Wuli propped herself up on the bed and sat up, the blanket inevitably slipping down her shoulders a little.
She quickly pulled herself closer to the blanket.
