Only then did Li Sisi remember that she entered the rockery to witness the stunning face of the Fifth Prince.
She raised her chin, stiffened her neck, and replied, "Okay."
As soon as she agreed, Xiao Yunchen hugged Li Sisi tightly around the waist and led her into the rockery.
After turning a stone wall, the cramped space suddenly became wider.
In the dim light, a thin young man was sitting against the stone wall. His white brocade robe was covered in dirt, and the collar had obviously been torn too loosely, revealing a large area of white chest skin covered with bruises and red marks.
He raised his eyes slightly, and his delicate face, as cold and white as jade, showed a bit of misery and embarrassment, and there was a dead silence in his phoenix eyes with the corners of his eyes raised.
Even if others saw him like this, he didn't feel the slightest bit of shame or annoyance.
Instead, he curled his lips into a miserable smile, his face extremely pale.
Beneath the white robe, slender white legs...
Li Sisi suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and a big hand blocked her vision completely.
Xiao Yunchen's soft voice was in my ears: "Sisi, go ask my father for a set of clothes. Be careful on the road and don't let anyone follow you."
Li Sisi reacted instantly and realized that Xiao Yunchen probably wanted to rescue the fifth prince from his current predicament.
He nodded quickly and said, "Okay."
When walking out of the rockery, Li Sisi still looked a little dazed and shocked.
When Xiao Yunchen told her that the emperor and the crown prince forced their love on the fifth prince, she thought Xiao Yunchen was talking nonsense.
But when she entered and saw the Fifth Prince in that state, Li Sisi suddenly thought that if she were a man, she would not be able to help but be moved by such a beauty, right?
Ah, bah, bah, bah!
Li Sisi quickly shook her head. What the hell! Is this a question of like or not?!
Where's their moral integrity? Where's their values? They're all of royal blood!
Li Sisi suddenly thought of the system's judgment on the fifth prince, "Excellent"
Xiao Yunchen and Xiao Yunyu both received an "Excellent+" grade, while the fifth prince only received an "Excellent" grade...
It seems that the higher the status, the better the quality!
Li Sisi suddenly thought of the princess and her beauties again.
Could it be that... the princess is also a lesbian?
Li Sisi was thinking about all sorts of things along the way, but she didn't dare to slow down for a moment.
After all, Xiao Yunchen and the Fifth Prince were left alone there. What if someone else came and saw them hiding in the rockery like that?
Well, it was mainly because the Fifth Prince looked like he had been severely abused.
If you don’t know, you might think that Xiao Yunchen was forcing love on the fifth prince, and made him suffer like that!
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and Li Sisi walked even faster.
If today's location and her attire were not inappropriate for such unrestrained movements, she would have already run several miles by now.
Lord Xiao should be gathering with officials in a side hall.
Li Sisi walked through two long corridors and passed through a circular courtyard gate. She saw that she would reach the side hall after turning another corner.
As a result, a group of noble ladies showed up unexpectedly.
"Chen Fu?" Wen Luoqing sounded surprised.
The girl next to her looked around behind Li Sisi, and when she saw that she was alone, she became arrogant.
"You hit us last time, so today is a good time to settle the score."
Li Sisi frowned as she looked at Wen Luoqing and the lackeys around her, feeling annoyed.
He said impatiently: "When did I hit you? Get out of the way, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now!"
After hearing her words, the girl not only didn't move away, but actually stepped closer: "Don't you have a good memory? Let me help you recall. Last time at the Fourth Prince's manor, you injured Miss Wen."
Li Sisi tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk: "I was wondering why you were barking like a dog, it turns out you were barking for your master."
"How dare you scold me!" The girl in the pink skirt in front of him suddenly looked ferocious and raised her hand to hit him.
Li Sisi accurately grasped her wrist and twisted it gently.
The girl cried out in pain.
Seeing this, the other girls immediately surrounded them.
“Chen Fu, do you dare to hit someone?”
"Do you know where this is?"
"Princess Zeng, it's fine that Chen Fu asked you not to be polite, but now she actually hits someone in front of you. She simply doesn't take you seriously." Someone said loudly.
Li Sisi frowned in confusion: "Princess? Sorry, I'm from the northwest. I only know how to ride horses and fight. I don't know what a princess is."
"I have to pee urgently, please move aside." Li Sisi said as she pushed aside the two girls blocking her way with her hands and ran to the side hall holding up her skirt.
I heard the loud voices of several girls talking behind me.
"This Chen Fu still doesn't know the rules. She is so disrespectful to the princess. Can she bear it?"
"The daughter of the Minister of Rites is so uneducated!"
"Who says it's not true? It's a pity that such a talented man like Mr. Xiao married such a vulgar person."
The princess looked at Wen Luoqing beside her in confusion: "Didn't the wife of the second young master of the Xiao family pass away last year?"
Wen Luoqing moved closer to the princess and whispered something in her ear.
The princess looked up thoughtfully at the direction Li Sisi was leaving and murmured, "I didn't expect him to be such an infatuated young man."
Li Sisi turned a deaf ear to the mocking words behind her and only wanted to go to the side hall to find Marquis Xiao as soon as possible.
In the hall of the side hall, officials in their official robes sat or stood in small groups, chatting and laughing while speaking official language.
The palace maids wore uniform palace costumes and shuttled through the hall, serving these high-ranking officials respectfully.
Li Sisi quickly looked around and soon found Lord Xiao chatting and laughing with several officials in the hall.
