"My Lord, what are you laughing at?"
"My lord? What happened to you?"
The voices calling in his ears woke Su Minglang from his thoughts. Looking at the two people in front of him with worried faces, Su Minglang smiled brightly and walked in front with his head held high: "It's okay, I believe that sincerity can move mountains and open stones. Concubine Gu will definitely forgive me."
Xiaoqing and Xiaohe fell behind and looked at each other, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Su Minglang went straight back to the bedroom, casually sent Qinghe and the other two away, and lay down on the sandalwood coffee table, fiddling with the tea set on the table out of boredom.
"When can I get a tea set like Concubine Shu's to play with?"
Over there, Qinghe and the other person came out of the bedroom, looked at each other, and nodded with a gloomy expression.
"Xiaoqing, you stay here. I'll go find that person to report."
"I understand, Sister He." Xiaoqing nodded in response, looked around carefully, and returned to the outside of Su Minglang's bedroom with a normal expression.
Xiaohe stood there silently until Xiaoqing's figure completely disappeared, then he slowly walked into a corner. There was already someone waiting there in the shadow.
As Xiao He approached, the shadow in the dark spoke: "Su Zhaoyi was away from Linglong Palace for a long time today. Is there anything unusual?"
The voice was slightly sharper than that of an ordinary man, but it was steady, powerful, and had a hidden edge.
"Eunuch!" Xiao He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt respectfully, "My lord, Concubine Su went to Concubine Gu's place early this morning."
"Hmm?" The voice seemed puzzled. "Hasn't she always been at odds with Concubine Gu Shu? Why would she take the initiative to visit today?"
"This..." Xiao He seemed to have something to hide. "Eunuch, the young lady did stay near Jingyang Palace all day today. She seemed...as if she was going there to apologize."
"Apologize?" The voice seemed to have heard something funny. "The Su family is now in the limelight. Didn't she show off in front of Concubine Gu a few days ago?"
"How come he seems to have changed his personality overnight?"
"This, I am not sure about..."
"Alright!" The figure moved slightly, "Go back, don't forget your identities."
"Yes! I will never forget." Xiao He trembled all over, her voice was full of fear. She didn't dare to stay any longer and walked out of the corner quickly. She checked the surrounding situation with an unclear expression. Seeing that there was indeed no one there, she pretended as if nothing had happened and walked back slowly.
"Sister Xiaoye!"
As soon as Xiao He returned to the main hall, she saw Xiao Ye walking towards her from afar, followed by an unfamiliar little girl. It was not until she got closer that she realized that it was the little palace maid that Su Minglang brought back from the laundry department.
"Sister Xiaoye, are you here to help this new sister get familiar with the environment? I'll let my sister do this kind of small thing, why would I bother you to go there in person!"
"We are slaves and we are just doing what our master ordered." Xiao Ye fought back without any hesitation. She looked down on these two maids sent from the palace from the bottom of her heart and thought they had bad intentions.
"Yes, sister is right!" Xiao He was not angry, and agreed with a smile, "Sister, are you here to see the young master? I dare not disturb you, sister, please go quickly."
"Tsk!" Xiao Ye rolled his eyes in disdain and walked straight into the inner hall with the little palace maid.
"Sister Xiaohe, why are you so polite to her? We are just maids, why is she so arrogant?" Xiaoqing saw that Xiaoye was very dissatisfied with Xiaohe's attitude and couldn't wait to denounce her.
"Be careful with your words!" Xiao He's face darkened when he heard that. "Xiao Qing, don't forget the purpose of our coming to Linglong Palace. If you delay that person's important matter because of your temper, how many heads do you have left to chop off?"
"But!" Xiaoqing felt aggrieved. She was clearly speaking up for her, but in the end, she was the one who was wrong.
"Okay, Xiaoqing," Xiaohe looked at the girl who was a few years younger than her, and unconsciously slowed down her tone, "I know you are speaking up for me, but we slaves are supposed to live at the mercy of others."
"Compared to losing your life, what does a little humiliation mean?"
"I understand, Sister Xiaohe." Xiaoqing turned her head away aggrievedly.
Xiao He knew that Xiao Qing was still unconvinced in her heart, but she didn't say anything else. Xiao Qing was still a little girl after all, and it was better for her not to know some things so that she wouldn't have to live in fear like Xiao Qing did.
Xiao He has long regarded this girl who is a few years younger than her as her own sister. Since she is her younger sister, the worst that can happen is that she will just have to take on more responsibilities in the future.
In this cannibalistic palace, it is unknown how long she can maintain her innocence.
"I hope I won't regret it!" Xiao He shook his head silently.
"Master!" Xiao Ye brought the little palace maid and walked straight to Su Minglang.
As soon as the little palace maid saw Su Minglang, she knelt down with a plop, and her forehead hit the ground hard. The sound of her knees hitting the ground made Su Minglang's knees ache.
"My lady! Your servant..."
"Come on, come on!" Su Minglang waved his hands with a look of toothache on his face, "You don't have to show me your loyalty here."
"Since I brought you back, I will naturally give you a chance to live, of course!" Su Minglang stood up, walked to the little palace maid, held her head up with his chin, and said, "If you dare to betray me, I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead but not alive."
When Su Minglang said this, there was a gentle smile on his face, but his words were like a sharp knife, pointing directly in front of the little palace maid.
Xiao Ye had never seen such a cruel look in Su Minglang's eyes, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
"master......"
"Come and sit down," Su Minglang waved indifferently.
Xiao Ye was still a little timid in her heart. She hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to take a step. Su Minglang frowned slightly when he saw her timid look and sighed for a long time.
"You haven't been back to live here for a while, so I'll give you a few days off to go back and put your things in order."
"Master, I!" Xiao Ye saw Su Minglang frowning. She was afraid that the master would dislike her because of this, so she hurried forward to defend herself, but saw Su Minglang waving his hand to signal her to go out quickly.
"Okay, okay, no need to be so stubborn, go ahead."
Xiao Ye frowned and looked at Su Minglang for a few times, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she could only walk out dejectedly with her head hung.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Xiaoqing and Xiaohe talking under a tree. Xiaoye was feeling frustrated and had no place to vent. Seeing that they were so idle, he immediately became angry and quickly walked up to them.
"Hey! You two! What are you doing chatting while you're on duty?"
At this time, Xiaohe was comforting Xiaoqing. She suddenly heard Xiaoye's scolding. She looked back in fear, but saw Xiaoye questioning them loudly from a long distance.
After confirming that Xiaoye couldn't hear their conversation, Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief and went over to her with an apologetic look on her face. "Sister Xiaoye is teaching me that it was our negligence."
"Humph!" Seeing Xiao He's submissive look, Xiao Ye finally let go of the anger in her heart. After hearing what they said, she didn't make things difficult for them. "Now that you know, just get back to work."
After saying this, he walked away triumphantly with his neck held high.
Behind her, Xiao He looked at the direction she left with a gloomy expression.
