However, the two had not yet approached the door.
Ye Qingcheng opened the door and came out.
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."
When the two saw Ye Qingcheng come out, they both called out to her.
Then.
Xiao Xin coaxed Ye Qingcheng with a frightened look in her eyes, saying, "Your Highness, there are ghosts here. We shouldn't stay here. Shall I take you to the Wisteria Courtyard?"
That's the inner courtyard of the Prince's residence, with the Prince himself there, guards, and many, many other people who will protect you.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at her lightly, did not reply, and walked straight back to the stone bench to sit down.
This sudden change.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin were puzzled for a moment.
However, after exchanging a glance...
The two of them then moved closer to her.
"princess…"
Ye Qingcheng glanced at them again, then slowly picked up her teacup and took a sip.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin looked at Ye Qingcheng, completely bewildered as to why their princess had suddenly stopped causing trouble, as if she had become a completely different person.
But in that instant...
Xiao Xin suddenly trembled and took several steps back, her face filled with terror.
"Little...Little Cui...Your Highness...This...this can't be possession by a ghost, can it?"
now.
Xiao Cui seemed to share this thought, her face filled with panic, and she tried calling out again, "Your...Your...Your Highness..."
Ye Qingcheng put down her teacup: "Xiao Cui."
"Ah? This servant is here."
Ye Qingcheng's sudden calm and collected voice startled her.
She stared wide-eyed at Ye Qingcheng with her beautiful, captivating eyes.
When Ye Qingcheng looked up and saw the panic on her face, she smiled.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not possessed by a ghost."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin exchanged another glance.
Then Xiao Cui spoke again, asking, "Then you...?"
Tell me, what are you doing here?
"Your Highness, it was His Highness who sent us to serve you."
What if I said I don't need you to serve me?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui was immediately terrified and quickly knelt down: "No! Your Highness, please let me serve you! The Prince has already given me to you, I am already yours. If you don't let me serve you, when you go back... the Prince will think that I didn't serve you well, and if you are sent back, the Prince will beat me to death."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin quickly knelt down as well: "Yes! Yes! Your Highness, we beg you, please let us serve you!"
"Aren't you afraid of ghosts anymore?"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, the two remembered the incident and panicked again.
However, a moment later...
Xiao Cui took a deep breath: "No... I'm not afraid... As long as the Princess is there, we servants will be there too?"
"Oh! Is that so?"
Yes...yes.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's lips curved into a beautiful smile, as she prepared to probe further.
She spoke again: "Alright, since you say you are my people, then there is a jade pendant that I dropped into that well. I wanted to go down and pick it up, but I was afraid because I saw ghosts inside, the kind that are very scary."
"Huh? There's...there's...there's a ghost?"
Upon hearing this, both Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin turned to look at the well.
"That's right, so which of you two is willing to go down and help me pick up that jade pendant?"
"Pick...pick it up?"
"Hmm! Who among you wants to go?"
"This servant...this maid...this maid..."
"What? You don't want to?"
“No…no…this servant is willing,” Xiao Cui replied first.
Ye Qingcheng nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then looked at Xiao Xin.
"And you? Are you willing?"
“This servant…this servant is willing too.”
"Okay! Very good, then you can all go down and pick them up! But you need to be mentally prepared, once you go down, you might never come back up."
"Can't...can't get up?"
"That's right, so I won't force you."
Xiao Cui closed her beautiful eyes and made a desperate gesture: "As long as I can retrieve the jade pendant for the princess, I am willing to die as a servant."
"This servant is the same. This servant belongs to the princess. This life already belongs to the princess. It is this servant's honor to die for the princess."
"Alright, then you can go!"
"yes…"
The two responded hesitantly.
Then, trembling all over, he walked to the well.
Although they were prepared to risk their lives, they were still terrified when faced with death.
Ye Qingcheng sat on the stone bench, watching the two of them.
The two of them first peered into the well.
A moment later.
Xiao Cui placed her hands beside the well opening, sat down on it, and prepared to jump in.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng quickly stood up, pushed off with her toes, and swiftly swept over.
In an instant, he was beside her and grabbed her.
Xiao Cui felt a pull on her arm and turned to look at Ye Qingcheng.
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Alright, you can stay here!"
"Huh? What?"
"I am very satisfied with both of your performances."
"ah?"
The two were taken aback.
However, just a breath later.
Xiao Cui was the first to react. She quickly climbed down from the well and knelt on the ground, saying, "This servant thanks Your Highness."
Seeing this, Xiao Xin also realized what was happening and knelt down, saying, "This servant thanks Your Highness."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and nodded, "Okay! You can get up now!"
