Chapter 65 We Are the Same
Many thoughts flashed through Xu Shuyao's mind in an instant, but the first thing that came out of her mouth was: "Cousin! I...we are the same."
Xiao Mo looked at the thin, white neck that his palm touched, and the pair of frightened eyes above it with a gloomy expression.
He showed up in the garden as his mother asked, but he didn't expect the prince to come and visit him suddenly, so he invited him to this small bamboo hut.
But...Wuying?
When he looked up at the roof again, he saw the guard's face full of frustration, as if he was about to cry.
A cool smile appeared on Xiao Mo's lips, and he subconsciously scratched the soft flesh with his fingertips, "Same?"
Xu Shuyao nodded with difficulty, feeling the hands on her neck that were strangling her life, "Yes...same, my grandfather...father also offended Empress Feng in the past."
Xiao Mo had heard a general idea of it in Songhe Hall before, but he didn't expect that the woman in front of him also knew it.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person, quite brave!
Does this mean we are allies with him?
He asked as if he didn't care: "Where is your sincerity?"
Xu Shuyao felt that the force on her neck seemed to have relaxed a little, and she felt a little more confident.
Thinking of the things that Xiao Chen asked her to keep, she said, "Let go of them. I'll get them for you."
Xiao Mo frowned and really let go of his hand.
But I saw this cousin Xu turned around and put her hand into her clothes.
He lowered his eyes, but after a few breaths, the other person turned around, blushing slightly, and said, "Here! This is it. My mother told me to keep it well."
Xiao Mo looked up and saw a spherical bead lying in the girl's palm.
He reached out to take it, and looked at it carefully in his hand for a while. Suddenly, he twisted the beads with his fingers, and the small copper ball opened.
Seeing this scene, Xu Shuyao was also shocked.
She had seen this bead many times, but had never opened it.
She suddenly encountered this incident today, and thinking of the promise made by Xiao Chen when she gave her this item, she decided to give it a try.
If Xiao Mo couldn't open it for the time being, she would have time to think of a way to escape.
But...I didn't expect...
Is there really some great secret hidden in it?
The person in front of him did not hide it from him and carefully unfolded the object in the ball, which turned out to be a bright yellow paper.
The dense handwriting clearly shows that this is the medical record of the master in the palace.
Xu Shuyao felt complicated for a moment.
Did she make the right bet?
When the man in front of her saw her leaning over, he folded the paper in his hand, and with a light "click", only an intact bead was left.
Then the prince asked, "Do you want to see it?"
Xu Shuyao quickly shook her head, thinking it would be better not to say that he got it from her.
Xiao Mo smiled, as if he was in a good mood, "Okay! We are the same."
He continued, "Since your contribution is truly useful today, I won't pursue the charge of eavesdropping. However... the item is yours. I'll remember it, and I hope you'll remember it too, so don't let anyone know."
Xu Shuyao listened to his words which were half threatening and half kind, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
She touched her neck which was still a little painful, and her life was saved.
I just don't know why the Chengguo Mansion is so determined to stand on the side of the eldest prince given the almost one-sided situation in the court.
Xiao Mo took the thing and looked at the beams on the roof again.
The shadowless creature slid down from above with a whoosh.
When Xu Shuyao saw the guard, she was also frightened, and she said it wouldn't be that simple.
It's impossible that there is no one watching when discussing such an important matter.
Fortunately, she did not choose to leave immediately, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
But isn't this guard too irresponsible?
A grown man like me is coming here and you don’t even stop me?
Xu Shuyao was thinking about this and looked at Wuying.
Wuying turned his head away guiltily. He had just seen the Duke's wife go to another road, and the prince had just hidden in the bamboo forest. Who would have thought that there was a cousin who was left alone here?
In that situation, it was too late to call out, and then I remembered that there was a great prince inside.
Seeing that the young lady had wisely hidden herself, Wuying felt that it would be better to let the prince deal with this weird cousin personally.
After all, I have dealt with this several times before and have more experience than him.
Unexpectedly, the result was so unexpected and everyone was happy.
Wuying pouted, and when he saw the prince looking at him, he quickly apologized with regret, "It's all my fault. I didn't stop my cousin in time."
Xu Shuyao had been frightened just now, and now that the crisis was over, she felt even colder.
He didn't care whether the prince was still there or not, and hurried towards the charcoal brazier that was burning brightly.
She stretched out her hands to warm them, and moved her deerskin boots closer to the fire.
When he looked up again after a while, he saw that Xiao Mo had not left yet, so he said, "Shu Yao just saw the Duke's wife go to the east road. She might be looking for the prince now."
He was really good at playing tricks, making the ladies and their mothers wait anxiously.
Xu Shuyao said in her heart.
Xiao Mo glanced at her calmly, "Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"
Xu Shuyao: “…”
She said nothing and simply acted like the gourd with the sawed mouth.
But after a while, her body was warmed up, so she bowed to the prince and left.
After she left, Xiao Mo asked Wuying, "Where's Wuming?"
"Didn't you tell him not to follow?"
"oh."
"When you go back today, I will reward you with twenty military sticks." said the man. Wuying shuddered when he heard it.
Although twenty military stick blows were not fatal to a martial artist like him, it was still a heavy punishment.
When Xu Shuyao once again mixed in with the young ladies, a strong woman came up to her and asked, "Where did the young lady from the Xu family go just now? I looked everywhere but I couldn't see you."
After Xu Shuyao arrived, she recognized all these young ladies and knew that her surname was Ma Jingtang and that she was the daughter of a deputy general serving the Duke.
She smiled and said, "I went to the bathroom."
Ma Jingtang continued, "I saw you go to the other side just now. Have you seen the young general?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, Ma Jingtang explained, "It's the Prince. We used to call him that affectionately at the border."
Xu Shuyao glanced at the young ladies who were having a passionate affair with the Duke's wife not far away, and suddenly became worried about their future.
Not to mention that there was a precious royal princess standing at the scene, but the person next to him seemed to have a past from the tone of his voice.
The title of "little general" is probably unique among these young ladies!
Xu Shuyao smiled and said, "That's a pretty unique name."
"What's so unique?" A low and familiar voice came from behind my ear.
