Chapter 870 Seeds of Doubt
Shuxiu lowered her head slightly and said, "You saved me, I don't want you to die."
Tang Miaoxin's peach blossom eyes burst into smiles, and she reached out to Shuxiu's forehead and lit up: "You also said you don't care about me, you are a quarrel girl!"
Shuxiu: "…"
Tang Miaoxin said again: "You have been in the palace for many years, and you should know that once you are soft-hearted, you may face death."
Shuxiu pursed her lips and said, "I know, but I still don't want you to die, but if you commit suicide every day, I can't save you."
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said for a while: "Shuxiu, are there anyone else in your family?"
Shuxiu was stunned for a moment and whispered: "My parents are alive at home, and there are still a pair of brothers and sisters under him."
"My father sold me when my family was too poor to lose money, and my buyer used me to replace his daughter in the palace as a palace maid."
Tang Miaoxin asked her: "Do you hate your parents?"
Shuxiu's eyes were a little confused, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Don't hate them. If they didn't sell me, I would have starved to death long ago."
Tang Miaoxin continued to ask: "Then have you ever thought about leaving this palace?"
Shuxiu was stunned again, then shook her head: "I don't know what I can do after leaving the palace, so I don't want to leave."
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "There are so many things you can do after leaving the palace, you can do whatever you want."
"And there are not so many rules in the palace outside, so there is no need to worry about making your master unhappy one day and losing his head."
"You can find someone you like to marry, and then do some small business. If you have nothing to do, go shopping and buy a piece of floral cloth to make a piece of clothes."
"If you don't want to get married, you can follow me. I will take you to see the mountains and rivers of the six kingdoms, the sea to the south, the snow in the north, the yellow sand to the west, and the green peaks to the east."
Shuxiu had a trace of yearning in her eyes. Such a life was something she dared not even imagine.
Tang Miaoxin looked at her and said, "It's a bit early to say this now, after all, we can't live without here now."
"But if one day you have the chance to leave, I hope you can think about it."
When she saw her, Shuxiu felt that she could see her directly. She subconsciously turned her eyes away.
After she served Tang Miaoxin to fall asleep, she went to report Qi Jianlan and explained what happened today in detail.
After hearing this, Qi Jianlan asked, "Do you want to leave the palace?"
This time Shuxiu shook her head decisively: "I am the princess's secret guard, and she will stay by the princess's side regardless of life or death."
Qi Jianlan did not doubt her loyalty and waved her hand and said, "Continue to serve Tang Miaoxin well, report any abnormalities immediately."
Shuxiu responded and stepped back.
On the way back, she unconsciously remembered Tang Miaoxin's words in her heart. Who doesn't want to live a free life?
But people like her are afraid that they will never be able to have freedom in their entire lives.
She didn't hate Tang Miaoxin in her heart, and she even liked her a little, but her personal preferences never mattered.
She knew this clearly, but some emotions could not be vented in the end. She subconsciously stepped on the stones on the roadside and directly slashed the stones to pieces.
Tang Miaoxin knew it when Shuxiu left, so she turned over and gently raised her eyebrows.
From the first time she saw Shuxiu, she knew that this was not an ordinary maid.
