concubines

Chapter 110
Miao Li sat on the ground with her knees hugged, looking at the delivered breakfast, she had no appetite at all.The items delivered were all her favourites, and she didn't seem to be treating her like a prisoner.However, she didn't feel sorry for her, and she didn't know how Zhou Shuxuan's situation was, so she was very anxious to wait.

How could the incident last night be so coincidental, she really shouldn't have gone out.

There seemed to be footsteps outside, and the familiar sound of wheels rolling on the ground, Zhou Shuxuan should have come.Miaoli stood up and looked out expectantly, when she heard the sound of locks rattling, the door was divided to the left and right, and Zhou Shuxuan really came.

Miao Li couldn't wait to look him up and down, seeing that everything was fine and that the injury he suffered last night didn't seem to be serious, so Miao Li felt relieved.

She figured out what she was thinking last night, and when she saw him again at this time, Miao Li felt a little bit wronged, with tears in her eyes, she bent her knees and bowed to Zhou Shuxuan, "My maidservant greets the lord."

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Zhou Shuxuan frowned slightly, and motioned Wei Hai to go out. After seeing the door closed, he asked, "Why are you crying?"

Feeling that he is different from before, Miao Li held back her tears and said: "I want to cry because I see the prince is well."

It's a good thing he's fine, otherwise she would really regret it to death, why would she run around outside at night when she's fine.

Zhou Shuxuan lowered his head, his voice could not hear any emotion, and asked without any ups and downs: "I feel that the action has failed, do you want to cry because of regret?"

Did he suspect she was an assassin too?

Miao Li knelt down in front of him with a groan, shed her tears, eager to prove her innocence, "Does the lord also suspect that this slave is an assassin? The slave is really not an assassin."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't speak, and quietly listened to her distinguishing for herself.

Miao Li said truthfully: "I heard footsteps in the courtyard last night, so I chased them out. Then I heard the sound of the prince being assassinated, and ran back to Shende Hall. What I said is true, there is absolutely no half A fake word."

After she finished speaking, Zhou Shuxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you heard the sound of footsteps, not the connection signal?"

Still don't believe her.

Miao Li couldn't argue with anything, and found a reason to prove herself, "I don't know martial arts, how can I kill the prince. Even if the slave is so stupid, the person who ordered the slave to come will not be so stupid."

Zhou Shuxuan said with a serious expression: "It is not necessary to use a sword to kill a person. Poison and medicine can kill a person. Beauty tricks are the best poison."

Looking at her face now, it really feels like poison has been quenched on it. Although it is not fatal, it is addictive.

Miao Li looked at him in shock, unable to believe that these words came out of his mouth.It seems that the true feelings for her that he said before are all fake, and he doesn't even have the most basic trust in her.

As expected, men are unreliable. She is too stupid to be fooled again and again.

Miao Li bent her neck, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I have already said what I should say. It doesn't matter if the prince believes it or not. I have nothing else to say. It's death or life, but listen to the prince."

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at her lightly, this is her.The her just now made him feel weird, she didn't look like her at all.Now is the one who is not afraid of death.

Miaoli felt that he raised his hand, thinking that he was going to hit someone, she poked her neck and was ready to take his blow, then they would end their relationship, and never let her believe what the man said.

Zhou Shuxuan reached out to the top of her head, picked off the weeds that were sticking to her head, and said softly, "I believe in you."

Miao Li raised her head in disbelief, still unable to believe her ears, did she hear wrong just now?His attitude seemed to be different before and after.

"My lord..."

Zhou Shuxuan chuckled lightly, his tone was still very gentle, as if he was making fun of her, and said, "You are so strange. If you say you don't believe me, you will die or live. If you say you believe you, you don't seem to believe what I said .”

Miao Li felt that something was wrong with him today, the smiles before, whether fake or sarcastic, were all genuine.But his smile today seems to be very fake, it is the kind of smile that floats and doesn't reach the bottom of the eyes.

Miao Li kowtowed in a daze, and said: "I just can't believe such good news, thank you for your trust."

"You're welcome. I have one more thing to ask you. You were once sold to the former prince Zhan's office to avenge your family. Isn't it much faster than mine?"

Although Miao Li didn't know why he brought up such a long time ago, she still chose a very appropriate answer, "It's not up to me whether I will stay or not."

Zhou Shuxuan looked at her quietly, he didn't believe that she couldn't decide whether to stay or not.

Miaoli could see that the answer seemed to be unable to make him agree, and she had to say that she was unwilling to face the past, "Prince Zhan Shi's son has taken a fancy to the servant girl, and insists on making the servant girl to be a housekeeper. The servant girl is in a hurry I beat him up, and then he gave it away again."

She is a fierce girl.

Zhou Shuxuan asked again: "When you came to this prince's mansion, you also acted as a housekeeper. Why didn't you do anything to this prince? What is the difference between me and him?"

Recalling that disgusting face, Miao Li endured the nausea in her stomach and said: "Prince Zhan Shi's son is an extremely wretched person, just greedy for beauty. When he likes it, he holds it as a treasure, and when he doesn't like it, he abuses it." Beating and scolding. Many maids in Zhan Shi's mansion died at his hands. But the prince is upright, and the slaves didn't want to be sent back and forth at that time, so they were willing to stay in the palace."

Thinking back to the time when he was the most irritable, it's not that he didn't touch her, and those few whips left her bloody.

"I hit you the same way back then, so what do you say?"

"To be honest, if the prince keeps like this, either the slaves will die, or the prince will die."

Zhou Shuxuan refused to accept this courage.She really dared to say anything and didn't take her own life as her own.Zhou Shuxuan said with a smile: "You really came to kill me."

Why did she change her attitude again, Miao Li looked at him helplessly, "The servant has already explained that the servant is really not an assassin, the prince believes it, doesn't he?"

"Yes, I believed it just now. Please explain to me what this is."

Zhou Shuxuan threw the purse in his hand to the ground, and kept his eyes on Miao Li, not missing any expression on her face.

Apart from shock, there was nothing else, not the guilty conscience he imagined, but luckily not.

Miao Li was surprised, then picked up the purse, and said: "This is what the Xia family asked the servant to return to the former prince. She gave it to the servant before committing suicide. I want the servant to bury this purse next to the former prince's grave." .”

Almost, this is something the Xia family can do.

Zhou Shuxuan sighed and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"The prince may be angry if he finds out, and he may not help the Xia family, so the servant did not tell the prince."

Zhou Shuxuan was angry and wanted to laugh, and asked, "Why do you think I'm angry?"

"Because of the Xia family's relationship with the former prince."

Zhou Shuxuan raised his voice and asked, "Do you think you won't make me angry if you lie to me?"

"The servant knows it's wrong."

Zhou Shuxuan's accumulated anger for a long time erupted, and he asked her loudly: "Keep such things to yourself and let others use them as excuses to harm you, do you have any brains?!"

Xu Meitang put this thing in front of him. If he hadn't trusted her, she would have been torn to pieces long ago.

Miao Li felt a little wronged by the yelling, she lowered her head and said, "Your maidservant knows your mistake."

"What's the use of knowing what's wrong? Can you change what happened if you know what's wrong?"

"Slaves must reform themselves and never make the same mistakes again."

Saying these clichés to perfunctory him, Zhou Shuxuan rubbed his temples and said, "Then you can reflect on yourself here, and when you have done your reflection, tell me again."

Afterwards, Zhou Shuxuan called Wei Hai in and left without leaving any words.

"The slaves send the prince respectfully."

Miao Li knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do next.Obviously everything was explained clearly, and Zhou Shuxuan didn't say that he didn't believe her, so why did he lock her up here?But in one day, if something went wrong, she vaguely felt that things were not simple.

Zhou Shu's mood calmed down a little after he announced that he had left the chaifang. It was really dangerous just now, and he almost let her out.It can't be like that, he hasn't decided whether to keep her or not.

He could clearly feel that he had a trust in Miao Li from the bottom of his heart, believing every word she said.It's a good thing that everything she said is true. What if one day, what she said is all lies? Will he be able to tell the difference?
It can't be like this, no matter what you say, it's too dangerous to keep such a person by your side.

Are you going to let her go?The same reluctance.

It was the first time in 20 years that he was serious. No matter how rational he was, he couldn't let go easily.How can I be entangled in my current mood?

My mind was so confused that I wanted to gain some experience from others, Zhou Shuxuan asked, "Wei Hai, do you have a girl you like?"

"Slave...the slave doesn't exist now, but there was one in the past. She is from my hometown, and we escaped together. Both of us were starving to death on the way. Later, in order to keep the slave alive, she told the slave that she sold herself. I went to a rich family to work as a maid, and gave all the money from the sale to the slave. Later, the slave found out that she sold herself to a brothel, but unfortunately it was too late, and the slave had no money to redeem her at that time."

"Now that you are the chief steward of the palace, why didn't you think of going to redeem her?"

Wei Hai said melancholy: "I have been there before, but it was too late. She was already dead when I went. It is said that she was thrown into a mass grave after she died. I didn't even see her body. I just didn't think about it for a while. I understand that if the servant knew that she was selling herself to a brothel, the servant would rather starve to death than let her do that. Later, the servant swore not to marry for life to repay her kindness.”

Zhou Shuxuan patted Wei Hai comfortingly, and then thought of himself now, Wei Hai didn't understand it for a while, so he could understand it now.
