Empress is in the harem again

Chapter 32
Rong Jinli sent someone to send Shen Xi back to the palace safe and sound.

When Tao Hong saw her, she ran over eagerly, panting, and asked, "Master, where have you been? You haven't come back for a long time. This servant is almost going to find the empress and send someone to search."

"Just walk around."

Shen Xi smiled at her.

Such a shameful thing, of course, cannot be said.

Suddenly, Tao Hong's eyes froze, and she looked her up and down, her eyes showing astonishment.

She looked at Shen Xi who was flamboyant all over her body, her eyes widened, "Master, what are you—who is so bold to bully you."

Shen Xi let out a slow "ah" and looked up in confusion.

As her distressed and angry eyes fell on him, Shen Xi paused, and glanced at the clothes inadvertently.

It was so dirty that the color could hardly be seen, and the palace dust that hadn't been cleaned for a long time could accumulate several layers, and it was all stained under the bed.

No wonder on the way back to the palace, the maids and eunuchs had weird eyes.

Shen Xi felt embarrassed, and patted Tao Hong's shoulder perfunctorily, "Don't worry, no one bullies me."

As soon as he turned around, he entered the bedroom, and couldn't wait to go to the bronze mirror.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but my soul is scared out of my body when I look at it.

There are spider webs on the blue silk, and a thick layer of dust on the forehead.

Shen Xi couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, she almost didn't recognize that it was her.

He looked like someone in trouble, but he walked back to the palace openly without realizing it?
She could already imagine the topics in the harem tomorrow.

Tao Hong couldn't believe it, she looked like this and no one bullied her?

I thought to myself, the master must have some difficulties and he doesn't want to say more.

During the daydream, I saw one or two servants in the palace whispering, and unconsciously glanced into the bedroom.

Tao Hong glanced at several people, and scolded, "What are you looking at, and you don't want eyeballs anymore?"

Gong'e hissed, her eyes didn't dare to sneak any more glances, and they scattered one after another.

"What arrogance."

One of the maids secretly rolled her eyes in disdain, muttered, and was pulled by the person next to her, motioning to stop talking.

Shen Xi sat in the well-prepared basin of the rose pond, raised her white and slender arms, and the water droplets slowly fell from the fingers to the wrist of the other arm.

The delicate collarbone is exposed, a little thin shoulder emerges from the water, and the roses cover the scenery under the clear and transparent bath water.

When Tao Hong raised her head, she could see Shen Xi pursing her lips, smiling faintly, as if it was an illusion, that pure and lustful little face was really overwhelming.

Shen Xi didn't pay attention to Tao Hong's expression, staring at the water drop, thinking about the abandoned palace in his mind.

Shen Xi didn't pay attention at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he suddenly remembered that when he went out after Rong Jinli, he saw a special handle that didn't exist.

Before Rong Jinli left, he even warned her impatiently, "Don't go anywhere again in the future."

There, even if there is no treasure, there are probably some unknown secrets.

Deep in thought, she bit her lip unconsciously.

She put her fingers on the edge of the basin, leaned her chin against it, moved her body a little, and the water stains would ripple.

Shen Xi tilted her head, glanced at the warm water that came in from Taohong's spoon, "Taohong, do you know that there is a deserted palace in the palace?"

"Abandon the palace?"

Tao Hong paused, surprised, then thought about it carefully.

Shaking her head honestly, "I haven't heard of it, but Qiaoyin has stayed in the palace for a long time, so I might know something."
