After Xiao Xu left, the candlelight in the prince's bedroom flickered until the next day.
The palace maids guarding outside the door could occasionally hear the sound of a woman crying from inside, but then everything would return to calm.
I thought the prince had come to his senses and was in love with a certain woman, but when I served him washing up the next day, I didn't see the woman, not even a trace of her.
The maid couldn't help but feel terrified. She knew the prince's personal maids were constantly changing, or might disappear for no apparent reason. Perhaps hearing the woman crying was related to this. Would she...
Thinking of this, the palace maid no longer dared to speak out the sounds she heard, and just did her own thing quietly. Over time, the palace maid got used to it.
…
Xiao Xu returned to the inn. As soon as she stepped into the room, she noticed something was wrong. She held the talisman in her hand cautiously and looked around.
"Get out of here."
The room remained silent.
"Don't make me say it again."
With a clang, a figure hiding under the bed slowly crawled out. It was a white-haired child, about seven or eight years old. There was a strange smile on his little face, revealing his white teeth.
Silly.
Xiao Xu: "Who are you and what are you doing in my room... thief?"
He scanned the child carefully, his eyes fell on his hands holding the corner of his clothes. They were white and tender, and he didn't look like the kind of person who would do such a thing as stealing.
"I, I...I just came in to hide from people. Sorry, I'll leave now."
The child hurriedly ran towards the door, which was her direction, but his foot seemed not to have discussed it with him. He tripped hard and his whole body fell straight forward.
Xiao Xu didn't answer.
She watched the child fall flat on his face.
"S-sorry."
Xiao was speechless. Did she look that scary? The child looked like she was about to die of fear.
No, a normal child would have a head full of silver hair? Could he hide in her house?
After all, she has set up some restrictions, and ordinary people can't get in.
Xiao Xu walked over to the table and sat down. He poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said calmly, "You said you were hiding from someone. Who were you hiding from? The fact that you could get into my room means you must be quite powerful. Who could possibly deal with you?"
This kid is weird. We can't just let him go. At least ask him.
"She's really powerful. She wants to eat me. If I'm eaten by her, her strength will definitely rise to another terrifying level."
she?
"Are you talking about the Imperial Master from the Imperial Master's Mansion?"
The child nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, it's her! But she's not the original imperial tutor of the great country at all. She's fake!"
Of course, what's in front of you is real.
Xiao Xu was used to disguising herself before going out, so it was normal that the child did not recognize her at first.
However, this kid actually saw that the fake one wasn't the real Imperial Master, so his strength is quite strong...
"How do you know she's fake?"
The child was silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke without hesitation: "She is full of death energy, without any trace of living energy. The former Imperial Master exuded soul fluctuations and the breath of new life from his entire body."
Can you see this?
Xiao Xu raised an eyebrow and took another sip of tea. "You can hide for a while, but not forever. As long as you are in the capital, she will find ways to catch you..."
Putting down the cup, Xiao Yu rested his chin on one hand, tapping the table lightly with his index finger. He smiled and said, "Well, do me a favor..."
