First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Pinching Wei Ling's chin tightly, she forced the pill into his mouth. Then she tied Wei Ling up and sat on a small stool to watch.

But Su Jixiang thought of another thing, that is, this pill seemed to have existed for a long time, would it expire? Even the old concubine had died a long time ago, and she helped carry the body out to the Yongxiang to be burned and buried.

Under the light, the heat on his face gradually faded away, and his breathing gradually became smoother.

It seems that what the old concubine said was right. She was a little confused, but she remembered the medicine correctly...

Wei Ling was really handsome, the light softened his eyebrows. He slept peacefully, his eyelashes were thick and long, covering his eyelids like two rows of small feather fans.

His skin was in exceptionally good condition, like top-grade bone china, white and smooth, and one could hardly see any pores from such a close distance, as if the skin had been smoothed down.

It's true that comparing yourself to others can make you angry. Su Jixiang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. This was the rich young man who was raised by a noble family in Dongdu with all his wealth and luxury.

Wei Ling opened his eyes again, and felt a dull pain in the back of his neck.

What happened to him? Where is he?

He just struggled to sit up, but found himself tied up. His heart suddenly sank. It's over! Has he been caught? He looked around and saw a room he had never seen before. The room was tidy and there was no dust on the tables and chairs. It was very comfortable to look at.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and Wei Ling saw a pink-dressed palace maid walk in, holding two snow-white cakes in her hands, and with it came a familiar sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, very faint, but it was so strong that Wei Ling couldn't tell whether the fragrance came from the cakes in the pink-dressed palace maid's hands or from the hem of her hair and skirt. She took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was tasting the taste of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang warily. This little palace girl was extremely beautiful. Although she had not grown up yet, she was a real beauty.

"You're awake. You don't feel anything wrong, right?" Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling with a little surprise.

This guy can sleep a lot! He didn't wake up until she had finished steaming a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus water tower cakes.

Wei Ling relaxed a little when he saw that there was nothing unusual about Su Jixiang.

"Untie me!" he snorted and said.

"This is how you treat your savior!" Su Jixiang stretched out his legs and hooked the stool over, then sat down on the stool and looked at Wei Ling from afar.

Wei Ling frowned, "You saved me?"

"What else?" Su Jixiang swung one leg, put one hand on his waist, and looked very proud. "You were poisoned by the Hehuan Powder and still ran around in the palace. If anyone finds out, I'm afraid that the Emperor will also charge you with defilement in the harem! Not only did I save you, I also saved your Dingguo Mansion!"

That’s true!

Wei Ling lowered his eyes, thought for a while, then raised his eyes, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady, so what reward do you want?"

Seeing Wei Ling coming up, Su Jixiang stretched out a finger.

"What do you mean?" Wei Ling blinked his big eyes and asked when he didn't understand.

"One thousand and two taels of silver!" said Su Jixiang.

"Okay!" Wei Ling nodded without hesitation...

Seeing him so generous, Su Jixiang regretted it so much that his intestines turned green! If he had known earlier, he would have asked for more! He was really used to being poor, so he didn't know how deep the water of rich people was!

Su Jixiang sighed, stuffed the cake into his mouth, and put the other cake he hadn't eaten on the teacup on the table. He walked over and untied Wei Ling's rope. "We are in the palace. I'm not afraid of you messing around." Su Jixiang said, "I saved you with great difficulty. If you want to die, go ahead and run around!"

Wei Ling didn't know the way, so he certainly didn't dare to run around. After Su Jixiang untied the ropes on him, he sat obediently on the bed, only slightly moving his neck and his arms which were a little sore from being tied up.

He looked down at himself and found that his clothes were intact and he felt fine. Wei Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please wait a little longer. At midnight, a water truck will leave the palace to fetch water from Yuquan Mountain." Su Jixiang said, "I have already arranged with them to use the water truck to help you leave the palace."

Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang in surprise, wondering why this little palace maid had such magical powers...

"Look at me, what am I doing? I spent money!" Su Jixiang felt so distressed when she said this, "I spent five hundred taels of silver to hire someone to transport you out of the palace!" As a result, she only asked Wei Ling for one thousand taels of silver, and she also had to take the risk of losing her head! It was a bit too uneconomical!

"Oh." Seeing Su Jixiang's distressed look, Wei Ling felt a little embarrassed, "I'll make it up to you."

"You said that!" Su Jixiang's eyes suddenly lit up, "I'm not blackmailing you!"

“No, no!” Wei Ling waved his hands quickly, “I’ll give you double the amount!”

After he finished speaking, he saw the girl in front of him smile. Her smile was extremely sweet, the kind that made people want to laugh along with her!

"So the prince of Duke Dingguo is indeed a noble young man praised by everyone!" Su Jixiang gave Wei Ling a thumbs up, "No wonder people say you are the best young man in Dongdu! No one can match your generosity! So generous!" Then she took the cake she had placed on the lid of the tea bowl and handed it to Wei Ling, "Try it, I made it. After all, you gave me so much silver, I can't let you leave the palace hungry."

Wei Ling hesitated for a moment, but still took the piece of osmanthus water tower cake. This was the first time he ate something made by Su Jixiang.

good to eat!

It is soft, sweet, and bouncy without being sticky. It has a sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, which is neither too strong nor too weak, just right! The sweet-scented osmanthus cake she made is not very sweet, but it gives people a special feeling of pleasure. Eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she made is like seeing her sweet smile, which makes people smile involuntarily.

Nearing midnight, Su Jixiang really got him a set of eunuch's clothes and took him to Xuanwu Gate in many twists and turns.

In an alley near Xuanwu Gate, there were vehicles waiting to fetch water. There were two horse-drawn carriages, four people, and a eunuch escorting them.

Su Jixiang pulled the eunuch who was escorting the carriage and stuffed five hundred taels of silver into his hand. The eunuch immediately smiled happily.

"You are a good friend of Eunuch Xiao Shunzi, so of course you should do this for me!" he whispered. Then he asked a eunuch to get into the empty water cart and handed his badge to Wei Ling, asking Wei Ling to pretend to be the eunuch and pull the water cart out of the palace.
