Chapter 588: The Favor I Owe Him

It is easy to get rid of someone. Just give him a beating for any mistake and kick him out. But if you send him away casually, on the one hand, it may arouse Bai Qianqian's suspicion. On the other hand, if you send this person away, no one can guarantee that there won't be another one.

"It's a good name, let's call it that." Si Linglong chuckled. There was nothing she could do with the knife at the moment, so she ordered the eunuch in charge of the young eunuchs to arrange people to run errands in front and then let them leave.

Originally, there was no need for her to intervene in the matter of the eunuch entering the palace, so it was normal for Si Linglong not to care.

Xiang Tian, ​​oh no, now the young eunuch who changed his name to Tianbao was taken away by the big eunuch.

After Si Linglong and the others walked away, they immediately turned to Shu Hong and said, "This is Concubine Lian's man. We must keep a close eye on him."

Shu Hong was a little surprised.

The matter concerning Xiang Tian and Bai Qianqian had always been discussed privately by Si Linglong and Helian Yue, so Shuhong and Qinglu did not know of Xiang Tian's existence, not to mention that he was Concubine Lian's man.

Although she didn't know how the queen knew it, Shu Hong still agreed cautiously.

"I understand. I will keep an eye on him."

Si Linglong thought about it. Xiang Tian knew Kung Fu, and it was said that his Kung Fu was not bad. Shu Hong and her delicate and weak maids in the palace probably could not keep a close eye on him. She called out again, "Lie Yi, is Lie Yi here?"

Soon, a man in black stepped in silently, "Your subordinate is here."

Shu Hong knew that he had gone to deal with the Ouyang family who had bullied Li Sheng before, and had only returned a few days ago. However, because he did not show up often, it felt like they had not seen each other for a long time.

He lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the corner of the black clothing, his face showing no emotion at all.

Si Linglong didn't notice anything wrong with the people around her, so she told Lie Yi about Xiang Tian directly.

"He's good at martial arts. If Shu Hong keeps an eye on him, it might be bad if something goes wrong. Why don't you help keep an eye on him?"

Lie Yi remained calm and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Emperor has already given instructions."

Now that he knew that this person had entered Yuxiu Palace, there was no reason for Helian Yue to just leave it alone.

Si Linglong remembered what A Yue had said he had arranged before. She didn't expect that even this had been arranged. She couldn't help but feel a sense of security.

[Is this the legendary boyfriend power? Hmm, it’s pretty good. ]

Si Linglong thought sweetly, and asked Lie Yi for some arrangements, then nodded and gestured, "Shuhong, be careful, if there is any situation, tell her in time."

Lie Yi was a man after all, and although Helian Yue asked him to secretly look after Si Linglong, he did not allow him to appear in her bedroom at will.

Normally, unless it is an urgent matter, Shu Hong will come forward.

When Shu Hong heard her name, she raised her head slightly and bent her knees slightly in the direction of Lie Yi.

The first one is a slight nod in response.

Seeing that everything was fine for the time being, Si Linglong asked both of them to leave.

Lie Yi didn't disappear suddenly, and followed Shu Hong out of the bedroom. Shu Hong then said to Lie, "Thank you for taking care of Tian Bao."

"Hmm." Lie Yi responded in a muffled voice, his face still expressionless.

Shu Hong was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped.

"This is yours."

Shu Hong turned her head and was visibly startled when she saw the hairpin in Lie Yi's hand. It was a silver hairpin she bought outside the palace this time. It had a flat square pattern with carvings on it and was not very eye-catching. She had given the same style to many young palace maids in the palace.

"I lost this hairpin a while ago. How did it end up here, sir?"

Shu Hong was a little confused. She had looked for the hairpin after it fell, but couldn't find it, so she didn't take it to heart. If Lie Yi hadn't taken it out suddenly, she would have almost forgotten about it.

Lie looked at her and said, "I got it back from Dai Jiangkuang."

These words made Shu Hong's face turn pale.

Ever since the emperor arranged a marriage between Dai Jiangkuan and the girl from the Cui family, Shuhong no longer paid attention to Dai Jiangkuan. However, she never thought that she still had something in his hands.

Although this thing does not represent one's identity, if someone sees it in Dai Jiangkuang's hand, she will inevitably be subject to gossip.

I don't know whether he picked this up or not.

But if you picked it up, why don't you return it to her?

Thinking of Dai Jiangkuan's actions behind keeping the hairpin, Shu Hong couldn't help but frown. However, in front of Lie Yi, she quickly suppressed the emotion in her eyes and thanked the person in front of her solemnly.

"Thank you, Mr. Lie."

Shu Hong took the hairpin from Lie Yi's hand and her eyes fell on it. Thinking that the hairpin had been taken by another man, she had already made up her mind to get rid of it.

But no matter what, she owed Mr. Lie a favor.

Shu Hong was suddenly stunned when thinking about this. She seemed to have thought of something and raised her head suddenly, "How did you know that this hairpin was in the hands of Deputy Commander Dai..."

Before he could finish his words, he found himself the only one left in the corridor, and the person in front of him had disappeared without a trace.

Still coming and going silently like a secret guard.

Shu Hong opened her mouth, looked at the empty corridor, and hid the doubts in her heart.
