Not long after Pei Yuanxiu left, Yu'er entered the room. She sat on the edge of the bed and gently held my hand, which had already become cold at the fingertips. A burst of warmth came to me. I just raised my head and thanked her.

As soon as she smiled, she heard her say: "Qingying, the prince—does he like you too?"

"What?" I laughed dumbly: "Yu'er, what are you talking about?"

"But, I think he treats you——"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is kind-hearted and it is only human nature to come and see me. Please stop making blind guesses."

Yu'er looked at me for a while and said seriously: "Qingying, don't you know that the prince has been running around for you these few days since you were imprisoned in the sky prison? I heard the maid next to the queen said that the prince is still here for this.

I have asked the Queen for something."

I was shocked. I didn't expect Pei Yuanxiu to beg the queen for me.

No, it is impossible for him to like me. With a beautiful woman like Nangong Lizhu as his wife, who would fall in love with an ordinary palace maid like me?

Moreover - looking back on what happened during the days I got to know him, I discovered that he is such a deep person. I have never seen him clearly before. He is more elusive than the unpredictable Pei Yuanhao.

Impenetrable.

This is the prince of the Tian family, and he is the crown prince of the country. How can I, a little palace maid, get close to such a person?

So he smiled calmly: "The prince is a good person, and he will treat everyone like this, not just me. Yu'er, stop talking nonsense."

Looking at my indifferent expression, Yu'er could only pout and did not continue the topic. She just looked back at the door with some doubts and said strangely: "At this time, King Qi should be here as well. Why are you here today?"

Not here?"

Pei Yuanfeng did not come, and he did not come until the evening.

This doesn't make me think there is anything wrong. After all, he is the majestic Prince of Qi. I also clearly remember that the queen was very unhappy when she found out about our relationship. She certainly didn't want a majestic prince to leave with a palace maid.

Too close, not to mention, I am the one suspected of poisoning her.

Therefore, it is a good thing that Pei Yuanfeng is not coming.

However, although Pei Yuanfeng did not come, Pei Yuanhao's entourage did.

"Miss Qingying, the third prince summoned you."

Yu'er was changing the dressing on my finger. When I heard this, my fingertips trembled. Yu'er looked at me and turned a little pale: "Qingying..."

Seeing her worried look, I said comfortingly: "It's okay."

After saying that, he stood up and followed the entourage away.

I have not seen Pei Yuanhao again since the public trial in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice that day. Although he asked the emperor for orders to go south, he has not left these days, and the verdict against me has not been issued, so I am somewhat prepared in my heart.
p>

It's just that you called me over so late...

I had some doubts in my heart. After following the escort for a long time, I finally saw the towering Shangyang Palace not far away in the deep dusk. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why is the Third Highness so late at night?"
