Chapter 154 Unexpected Visitor
The two stood still, extremely respectful, with their eyes downcast, not daring to look at her.
But Su Wuli knew they had still seen it.
The marks on my collarbone must have been visible the moment I slid down.
Her face flushed red, and she lowered her head, quickly putting on her clothes.
Upper garment, skirt, tied with a belt.
She was flustered and it took her several tries to tie it properly.
After getting dressed, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at herself.
After washing up, Su Wuli looked at her loose hair and was thinking of braiding it into a plait.
At this moment, Qiaosheng stepped forward and asked softly, "Miss, shall I comb your hair?"
Su Wuli raised her head upon hearing this and met those eyes.
Qiaosheng is quite pretty, with small but clean eyes.
She saw the other person looking at her with a hint of caution in their eyes, and something else entirely.
It was a mixture of curiosity and amazement.
Su Wuli didn't refuse her this time, and nodded in agreement.
After she sat down, Qiaosheng came over and stood behind her, and began to comb her hair.
The movements were very gentle.
Su Wuli looked at her blurry reflection in the mirror.
But you can still see that her lips are still red and a little swollen.
Although the collar covered her collarbone, a faint red mark could still be seen.
I subconsciously looked away.
Qiaosheng behind her suddenly whispered, "The girl is really beautiful."
Su Wuli paused for a moment and looked at herself in the mirror.
Qiaosheng was seen with her head down, intently combing her hair, her face slightly flushed.
Chuhe, standing beside her, nodded and whispered in agreement, "Like a fairy."
"Thank you," Su Wuli said with a light laugh.
Watching my hair being combed up little by little in the mirror.
First, she tied her hair into a bun on top of her head, and then the rest of her hair was braided and coiled around the bun.
Su Wuli could see the two people behind her in the mirror.
Qiaosheng was combing her hair, while Chuhe stood beside her, handing her hairpins and hair ribbons.
Neither of them spoke, but their gazes kept drifting towards her face.
I've finally finished combing my hair.
The two took a step back, their eyes filled with undisguised amazement.
"You're so pretty, girl," Qiaosheng couldn't help but say again, her face turning red as soon as she finished speaking.
Chuhe, standing beside her, nodded vigorously, her eyes shining.
Su Wuli looked at her face in the mirror. She saw it every day and it didn't seem special.
She was still a little curious to see her long hair styled into a bun.
Although there were period costumes during filming, they were different.
Makeup artists usually use wigs to achieve the desired effect when filming, but Qiaosheng doesn't need them.
Su Wuli couldn't help but glance at her hand; it would be highly sought after on set.
Qiaosheng and Chuhe exchanged a glance, communicating silently.
No wonder she caught the eye of her own prince and was so well protected by him.
They had been in the manor for a long time and had seen many newly arrived maids who wanted to become the prince's bed warmers.
She dreamed of gaining the prince's favor and rising to prominence.
But each time, those things never ended well.
As a result, everyone else who went to serve the prince in his courtyard was filled with trepidation.
Upon hearing Feng Xi's instructions, the two were both shocked and frightened, and they repeatedly reviewed their recent words and actions.
Su Wuli thanked her with satisfaction, "Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them paused, exchanged a glance, and then showed a look of being flattered.
"You flatter me, young lady," Qiaosheng quickly said.
Su Wuli suddenly remembered something.
"Where is Yu Chen?"
Qiaosheng raised her head and replied politely, "His Highness has gone to the council hall."
"Oh..." Su Wuli nodded slightly upon hearing this.
At breakfast time.
Su Wuli looked at the various side dishes, a bowl of porridge, and a few small steamed buns laid out on the table.
She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite.
Qiaosheng and the other person stood beside her, watching her.
As Su Wuli chewed on her steamed bun, she felt those two gazes fixed on her.
He looked up at them, and they immediately lowered their eyes again.
Su Wuli lowered her head and continued eating, but after a few bites she couldn't take it anymore.
"You..." She put down her chopsticks and looked at them, "Go back first."
After he finished speaking, the two of them were stunned for a moment.
"I can eat by myself," Su Wuli explained. "I'll call you guys when I'm done."
The main reason was that Su Wuli was really awkward; they couldn't possibly eat with her, but they just stood by and watched.
I feel uncomfortable no matter how I eat.
After he finished speaking, the two looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Yes, I'll be right outside. Just call out if you need anything, Miss."
They left, the door closed gently, and the room became quiet.
Su Wuli breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her chopsticks to continue eating.
After taking a few bites, I suddenly heard a sound.
It sounded like it was coming from the window.
She looked up.
The windows were carved wooden lattice windows covered with paper.
Now that it's locked up, you can't see anything.
Su Wuli stared at it for a while without any movement, thinking she had misheard, and then lowered her head to eat again.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the window was pushed open from the outside.
She suddenly looked up, almost dropping the chopsticks in her hand.
A figure was seen vaulting in through the window, landing very lightly, almost without making a sound.
It's a girl.
He was dressed in a gray-blue outfit, his hair was tied up high, and a short knife was tucked into his waistband.
His eyes and brows exuded a heroic air.
The woman stood by the window, her gaze sweeping around the room before settling on Su Wuli.
The other party was stunned.
Su Wuli was also stunned.
The two of them just stared at each other.
The woman's mouth gaped open in astonishment, and her eyes widened even further.
"You..." she said in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Su Wuli opened her mouth, as if to call for help.
Upon seeing this, the woman's expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to cover her mouth.
"Don't shout," the woman said in a low voice. "I'm not a bad person."
With her mouth covered, Su Wuli could only stare at her.
The other person looked down at her, their gaze slowly moving down her face and landing on her neck.
Then I saw her eyes widen even more, her gaze filled with shock.
Su Wuli realized what she was looking at.
Those marks were faintly visible above the collarbone.
"Well……"
The woman was clearly skilled; Su Wuli was no match for her.
Thinking of using the techniques Yu Chen had taught her before, but before she could make a move, the woman spoke.
His tone was pleading, "If you promise I won't shout, I'll let go."
"Hmm..." Su Wuli nodded slightly.
The woman then released her hand from her mouth and took a step back.
The expression on his face was absolutely priceless.
"That King Yama..." the woman murmured, her voice as if she had seen a ghost, "Wasn't he supposed to be averse to women?"
