The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 153 The servant girl went to the wrong place

"But the northern border... is full of dangers, so it's better to stay in Chuzhou." Xiumu held Xiulan's hand and said, "Sister, it's good to be successful, but you forgot what Auntie said before she died? It's better to die than to die." alive..."

"That's you!" Xiulan shook off his hand and reprimanded in a low voice, "I will never live a life of being bullied again!"

"Sister, your skills and mine are among the best in the entire Xilu tribe. Even if we are going to the northern border, with our skills, why don't we just ask the lord to take us away, and it's okay to get out of slavery with military merit!" Xiumu looked Glancing in the direction of the dormitory, "Why use such a dirty method?"

Recalling the days when he was once dominant in the tribe, Xiumu couldn't bear to imagine that his sister would sell her luster to help her get rid of slavery.

"There are so many masters around the prince, how could he fall in love with two barbarians?" Xiulan smiled wryly and shook her head, "I've thought about it a long time ago, look at Pingfeng and Mingjing, whoever he takes to the northern border doesn't matter. I will bring you and me, two barbarians who don't know the details."

The two were silent for a while.

As night falls, the courtyard of Kuyeju is still as warm as spring, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and sweet breeze is blowing in the ears, like lovers whispering.

"Brother, there is only this shortcut now. Since the prince doesn't like you, why not...let me try..." Xiulan narrowed her eyes and made up her mind.

"Forget it." Xiumu sighed, "I'll help you do what you want to do. Just don't regret it in the future."

"Thank you!" A smile bloomed on Xiulan's delicate face.

The two people in the house finished their dinner, Xiulan went in to help Xiangxia clean up the table, and Xiangxia brought some little girls to serve some fruit and tea to the prince and concubine.

Zhao Shuang had a bad appetite and was not in good spirits in the past few days. After eating some fruit, he fell asleep early.

Yang Xuan was sitting alone at the desk in front of the window, flipping through "West Dian Fengtu Zhi", and was fascinated by it, when he suddenly heard a young boy's voice.

"My lord, I have prepared hot water in the East Wing, please move to the East Wing to take a bath." Xiumu walked in, glanced at the sleeping woman on the couch, and said in a low voice.

Yang Xuan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Understood, you go get the clothes."

This young man is quite clever, the concubine went to bed early, taking a bath in the clean room of the main hall for fear that the sound of the water would wake her up.

Yang Xuan ordered Xiang Xia to take care of Zhao Shuang, and followed the gray-clothed boy out the door.

In the dead of night, the moon rises.

In the clean room of the East Wing, the sound of water murmurs and the fragrance fills the nostrils.

Xiumu added some medicinal herbs from western Yunnan to the tub, and the smell was cool and intoxicating.

In the dense water vapor, the man's head rested on the edge of the bathtub, his black hair drooped, and his straight shoulders and neck like a swan were looming.

The situation in the northern border was urgent, and Yang Xuan knew that he couldn't stay for too long. He was thinking about what to buy Zhao Shuang tomorrow, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door bolt moving, and asked vigilantly, "Who is it?!"

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and then Zhao Shuang's voice sounded, "My lord, it's me."

"What are you doing up? Go back to sleep!" Yang Xuan now takes care of her like a baby, lest she get a cool breeze at night, "I'll be back soon."

"Yes." The voice of the woman outside the door was low and cool, and the sound of rustling footsteps gradually went away, and the east wing room became quiet again.

In the main house, the lights are like beans.

Zhao Shuang was wearing a middle coat and an ink-colored cloak, and sat on the soft couch in front of the window, leaning against the big pillow, finding a comfortable sitting position.

Xiangxia carefully brought up a bowl of warm red bean soup.

"Princess, forgive me! Slave... Slave went to the wrong place..."

The weather wasn't cold, but a thin, khaki figure on the ground couldn't help shivering.

The girl was still wearing the khaki linen dress, but she had some light makeup on her face, and her hair was well done, with a small flowing cloud bun and an ingenious bone bead hairpin inserted.

"Just now I asked you to choose." Zhao Shuang moved the spoon lightly, but he had no appetite, "I asked you whether you want to go in to serve the prince, or go with me. You said to go with me, do you regret it now?"

"Your servant really... went to the wrong place..." Xiulan lowered her head extremely low, not daring to look up at her.

The concubine is pregnant now, if she gets angry because of this matter, her own life will be lost, and the prince will definitely cut herself into pieces!

"Oh? Wrong place?" Zhao Shuang stirred the red bean soup in his hand, and looked out the window, "Just now...Xiu Mu has already said everything, do you want me to bring him in for a confrontation?"

"Your maidservant is wrong!" Xiulan frowned, and knocked her head with a "bang bang", "It's all because of my servant's obsession for a while, this matter has nothing to do with my brother!"

"I'm asking you, do you regret coming back with me? Do you still want to go in and serve the prince?" Zhao Shuang glanced at the khaki figure on the ground, feeling a nausea in his stomach.

"I don't dare! I don't regret it!" Xiulan raised her head and glanced at her, then quickly lowered her head.

"You want to serve the prince?" Zhao Shuang gathered his cloak and took a sip of red bean soup absently. "He is old enough to be your father."

She naturally knew Yang Xuan's attraction to women, but this Xiulan was young and a barbarian, so could it be that she also liked the gentle type of the prince?

"Slaves...slaves and elder brother want to get out of slavery, there is only one way..." Xiulan lowered her head and said dejectedly, "Anyway, this slave is good-looking, and Granny Wu sent this slave and elder brother to serve the prince. .”

There was no fear in her voice, just a little decadent.Today, it was fallen into Wang Hao's hands, and she also recognized it. Anyway, it's just a death, and it's better than continuing to live a life that would be worse than death.

Zhao Shuang put down the spoon in his hand, and said to the maid in pink, "Xiang Xia, go get the things Mrs. Xu sent."

Hearing this, the khaki figure kneeling on the ground trembled. She knew that Xu Shou's wife, Mrs. Rong, had been here in the morning, but she didn't know what Mrs. Rong gave the princess.

Take it out at this time, it won't be... the poison you want to eat for yourself, right?

There was a layer of sweat on Xiulan's forehead and she didn't dare to wipe it off, she just watched Xiangxia with wide eyes in horror and turned around to get a wooden box the size of a scroll from the bookcase.

Xiangxia didn't look sideways, didn't look at her, and quietly handed the things to Zhao Shuang.

Zhao Shuang took the wooden box with both hands, put the wooden box on the table, gently opened the lid of the box, and opened the door towards herself, so that the little maid could not see the inside, "Do you know what...is in here? "

Xiulan looked at her dully, and stammered, "Slave...don't know."

"You said just now... that you want to get out of slavery, and this palace also has this intention," Zhao Shuang took out two documents with stamped fingerprints and stamps from the wooden box, threw them on the ground, and said coldly, "You and Xiumu's bond of slavery is here."

Because the slaves in western Yunnan did not comply with the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were not officially filed in the government. They only had a copy of the bond of slavery in the master's house, which was regarded as a contract of sale signed by both the slave and the master.
