Xie Shizhu left the lotus pond and ran south.
Her steps were chaotic, as if she wanted to quickly escape from the lotus pond.
Xie Shizhu's hair was wet and hung down to his waist. His light green robe was a little loose, and his body hidden underneath was thin and gaunt.
A slight breeze brushed her cheek.
Immediately afterwards, a man's voice came from behind Xie Shizhu. The tone was very soft, like a feather falling to the ground.
"Xie Shizhu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu's back stiffened. A second later, his legs trembled a little. He swallowed and slowly turned around.
System: [Host, what are you afraid of? ]
If Xie Shizhu didn't know the plot, perhaps he wouldn't feel any emotion when facing the male supporting role at that time, the virtuous king.
The young man not far away walked towards her slowly, accompanied by the palace's steward.
He was just over eighteen years old at the moment, with fair skin and a youthful heroic spirit between his brows. However, his thin lips, without any blood color, diminished this heroic spirit a lot.
Song Yan was dressed in a blue robe, with a tall and straight figure, a pair of starry eyes with a hint of clarity, and the look he gave Xie Shizhu was gentle and harmless.
When Xie Shizhu heard his voice, he immediately bowed.
She tried her best to control her emotions and pretend that Song Yan in front of her was just a frail and sickly prince.
Song Yan looked at her wet hair and was silent for a few seconds before he whispered, "What are you doing here?"
According to the plot, Song Yan is a frail, sickly prince who coughs up blood, and is also a waste laughed at by everyone in Yan country.
But the identity he hid behind the scenes made even a pervert like Xie Shizhu think he was a pervert.
The seemingly harmless and virtuous king is actually the most cruel and terrifying assassin in the country of Yan.
He pretended to be sick in the palace during the day, and at night he changed into black clothes, put on a mask, and killed everyone.
Although the palace is extremely poor, Song Yan is very rich and has saved up several boxes of banknotes.
Xie Shizhu lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Song Yan's face.
But she could still feel Song Yan's gaze on her. She opened her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn't utter a single word.
Only then did she remember that she was a mute.
System: [How miserable.]
Xie Shizhu slowly raised his little head, and his nervous gaze met the boy's eyes.
There seemed to be a smile in Song Yan's clear eyes as he stared at her quietly.
According to the plot development, it will be Song Yan's bathing time. He is going to the lotus pond, while Song Wenyan and his four concubines are playing in the pond.
If Xie Shizhu hadn't run away, there would have been five concubines.
In the original plot, when Song Yan saw the prince and his concubine naked, there was no fluctuation on his face and he was very magnanimous.
But a few months later, Song Yan personally assassinated his father, the emperor, and then turned the four concubines into human sticks and sent them to the prince's mansion.
Why are there only four? Because Xie Shizhu died earlier than these concubines.
Now she must find a suitable reason to win over Song Yan and save her life.
But if she directly exposed the fact that the prince and several concubines were in the lotus pond, she would definitely be in trouble.
With Song Yan's cleverness, he could definitely guess that she was there too, but she just came out first.
Under Song Yan's gentle gaze, Xie Shizhu gestured with her hands and said, "I know that the prince needs to bathe and change clothes at this time, so I came here to help the prince bathe."
Song Yan looked at the woman's hands, which were slender and white, with thin fingers without any fleshiness.
When he saw her answer, Song Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, as if he was a little doubtful.
The butler beside him said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to take a bath."
The butler had naturally been bribed by Song Wenyan, and he urged Song Yan to complete the order given by the prince.
Song Yan said "OK" softly, looking elegant in a blue robe and a bit youthful.
Even when facing his servants, the wise king was always gentle and smiling.
Song Yan glanced at Xie Shizhu, then turned and went to the lotus pond with the housekeeper.
Xie Shizhu hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed him.
She was the least favored princess of a nearby small country. She came to the Kingdom of Yangu as a foreign princess. Although she had a beautiful face, she was mute.
Xie Shizhu was not born mute, but he had a high fever once and suddenly became unable to speak.
Originally, she could marry the Crown Prince Song Wenyan, but because she was a mute, Song Wenyan refused the marriage.
There was no other way, so she had to settle for the second best and marry the most incompetent Sixth Prince of Yan State, who was also the wise king at the moment.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the lotus pond.
The entrance to the lotus pond is blocked by a tassel-like curtain. Outside, some weeds are growing on the ground, and mosquitoes and flies occasionally fly by.
The palace was very poor, so the conditions of the prince's bathing place were rather simple.
Song Yan stepped onto the stairs, then suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Xie Shizhu, and curled his thin lips slightly.
Xie Shizhu then realized that she had just said that she wanted to give Song Yan a bath. Her face turned slightly red and she hurried to catch up with him.
When Xie Shizhu and Song Yan stood outside the door curtain together, the housekeeper hurried over and lifted the curtain for them.
What caught the eye was the four princesses of the virtuous king, who were naked and feeding fruits to the crown prince Song Wenyan, and they were not shy about sticking to Song Wenyan's body.
Xie Shizhu was ready to watch the show. After all, the undercurrents between brothers like this were very exciting.
But she suddenly saw Song Wenyan holding a sachet in his hand, playing with it. He raised his eyes and glanced at her, then deliberately turned the words on the sachet to the front.
Xie Shizhu's mood of watching the fun was instantly replaced by fear, because this was the sachet she usually tied around her waist.
When I was putting on my clothes just now, I couldn't find the sachet at all.
