After making a lifelong promise to the villain, his vest exploded

Hong Xiu's words still carry weight in the hearts of the two of them. Nangong Yue seemed not to want to do anything tomorrow. When Hong Xiu said this, the smile on her face instantly faded a bit.

Dongfang Ming didn't even try to hide it at all. He simply leaned on the table and howled: "Ah - I have to get up so early again and listen to those old guys nagging me. I don't want to go."

Nangong Yue glared at him: "You have to go even if you don't want to. Do you want them to catch you again?"

Dongfang Ming sat upright from the table helplessly: "Being an emperor is not good at all. You can't make the decision on anything."

As if there was something wrong with what he said, Hongxiu coughed twice and said to Dongfang Ming: "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words and actions."

Dongfang Ming reluctantly closed his grumbling mouth. Seeing this, Nangong Yue didn't want to say anything more about him. She just said to Yin Xi, "Sister, let's go back and rest."

"Yeah." Yin Xi had this intention, not because she was full and sleepy, but because she wanted to be alone for a while.

Although Nangong Yue and Hongxiu have always been friendly to her, Yin Xi still can't open up and chat with a few people she has just met for a day. The past of being cheated by others is still vivid in her mind, and now Yin Xi is not She was no longer the silly girl she was when she first arrived, who believed in everyone wholeheartedly.

When Nangong Yue took Yin Xi back to where she lived, it was already completely dark, but there was always money in the palace, and all the corridors along the way were lit with lights, and the firelight was shining and very bright.

Because of this, Yin Xi could clearly see the slight gloom on Nangong Yue's face.

Yin Xi didn't know what hidden thoughts she had in her heart at the moment, but she understood that as long as she was in the palace, no one would be truly innocent and naive.

Even if Nangong Yue is so gentle and enthusiastic, and Hong Xiu is so submissive and obedient, I am afraid there are many hidden intentions behind this appearance.

If she was really a frank and carefree woman, how could she reach the position of imperial concubine?

Nangong Yue and Yin Xi didn't talk as much as before on the way. Perhaps because of her bad mood, Nangong Yue also had an inexplicable melancholy in her words.

"Hey, I don't know where you came from, sister. Anyway, I haven't been out of this palace for a long time. I don't know what it's like outside." Nangong Yue looked up at the sky and sighed.

Yin Xi naturally understood her worries. After all, when he was watching TV before, he knew a little bit about the rules that concubines marry into the royal family and are not allowed to go out for life.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, you are as deep as the sea. From then on, there is no human contact.

So she responded to Nangong Yue: "What it was like outside before is what it is like now. The only thing that has changed is people's age. For example, the wonton sellers used to be a young couple, but many years later they became elderly grandparents. , and sons and grandsons.”

The example Yin Xi gave was very simple and real, but it hit Nangong Yue's body at some point, causing her to burst out laughing, holding Yin Xi's arm and swaying playfully twice.

Just listen to Nangong Yue laugh and say: "Hahahaha, sister is right, nothing will change, except the days that pass every year."

Although she smiled and laughed very loudly, Yin Xi always felt that she could hear a vague sadness in her laughter.

Such laughter is actually a cover-up for this sadness.

Yin Xi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

Hong Xiu followed the two of them silently. Listening to Nangong Yue's laughter, an unspeakable sadness appeared on her brows.But this sadness only lasted for a few seconds before being interrupted by a sudden voice from behind.

"Hey, no one cares about me? It's so late and it's so dark. I don't dare to walk alone. How can I go back?" Dongfang Ming stood not far away from the three of them and stopped and shouted.

To be honest, this is the first time Yin Xi has seen such a blatant coward.

It was like a conditioned reflex that Nangong Yue would explode when she heard Dongfang Ming's voice.A vein suddenly appeared on her smooth forehead, and she turned around and cursed: "Are you a coward? There are so many lamps lit along the way, and there are so many palace maids and servants, what's so scary about this?"

Dongfang Ming put his hands together and pouted unhappily: "Yes, with so many palace maids and servants, the assassin who assassinated the emperor almost killed me."

When Yin Xi heard this, she covered her mouth in surprise.

After what he said, Nangong Yue choked on her unspoken words, becoming dumb and unable to speak any more.

Hong Xiu subconsciously took a look at Yin Xi's reaction, but by chance, Yin Xi turned her head and met her eyes, so the surprise in her eyes was caught by Hong Xiu.

Knowing that he probably shouldn't express curiosity about the royal family, Yin Xi quickly moved his eyes away and looked down at his toes.

Seeing this, Hong Xiu reached out and pulled Nangong Yue's sleeve, shook her head gently, and indicated with her eyes that Nangong Yue could not say anything more at this moment.

Nangong Yue knew it well, and then she took a few deep breaths, and after forcing herself to calm down, she turned back to smile and said to Yin Xi: "Sister, I'm really sorry, I have to go back with that coward, but it's only a few blocks away from where you rest. The corridor is not far away, I will let Hongxiu take you back for the rest, and wait for my sister to treat you with delicious food and drinks for lunch tomorrow."

"Yeah, okay." Yin Xi responded obediently.

After saying that, Nangong Yue walked towards Dongfang Ming with a stinking face. Dongfang Ming saw Nangong Yue turning and walking towards him, showing a big smile, and her big white teeth were particularly shiny.

"Why are you giggling? Why don't you hurry up and leave!" Nangong Yue didn't appreciate his bright and friendly smile. Instead, she stretched out a hand to grab Dongfang Ming's ear and pulled him back.

Soon Dongfang Ming's voice begging for mercy because of the pain gradually disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Seeing this, Hong Xiu smiled at Yin Xi and said, "Girl, I will take you back."

Yin Xi nodded and turned back with her.

Because Hong Xiu was a servant, her words and deeds were much more reserved than Nangong Yue's. Yin Xi followed her along the way, and the two of them basically didn't speak much.

It wasn't until Yin Xi returned to the room where he woke up during the day and entered the door that Hongxiu changed someone in and prepared some bathing water and soap locust for Yin Xi.

"Girl, feel free to take a bath. My maid is waiting behind the screen. No one else will come in. If you need anything, you only need to call your maid."

In addition to soaking Yin Xi's clothes in the tub, there was a medicinal bath specially prepared for Yin Xi's body.

This made her feel very comfortable, and her body, which was tense because she was not familiar with a strange environment and strangers, relaxed a lot. (End of chapter)
