Chapter 408 Pleading with the Princess
"I mean if."
Fu Zhaoning was almost unable to continue because of his tone.
"Why make such a shadowless assumption?" Xiao Lanyuan asked her back.
Fu Zhaoning paused.
It seems so.
If she continued to ask, she would not be able to let go.
It hasn't happened yet.
"The emperor has not summoned you to the palace yet. He must have known that the secret guards had slept on the riverbank for two days. Just be aware of this. I'll go prepare the medicine."
Fu Zhaoning was ready to leave again.
"That Miss An..." What message is she sending to her brother?
"What?"
"Nothing, just remember to bring a few more people with you when you go out tomorrow."
"good."
Seeing Fu Zhaoning go out and the door closed, Xiao Lanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little sad in his heart.
Qing Yi walked in.
He had just heard the conversation between the prince and the princess outside. Seeing the prince looking a little upset, he couldn't help but ask, "Prince, don't you want to ask the princess what Censor An wrote in the letter to her?"
Why don't you just ask directly? It makes him so anxious.
Xiao Lanyuan glanced at him. "What do you know?"
He doesn't understand. Isn't the prince just jealous?
But Qing Yi looked at Prince Jun's expression and didn't dare to say this out loud.
"Have you found Mr. Tinglou?"
Xiao Lanyuan asked about this matter.
Mr. Tinglou is a craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship and extremely high aesthetic taste. Every piece he carves out will be stunning when it comes into the world, and is also sought after by the wealthy and powerful and their ladies.
Mr. Tinglou's works are varied, including accessories for both men and women, ornaments, sachets and incense burners, masks and hats, and sometimes even one or two small weapons.
Everything he produces is beautiful and exquisite, and each piece is unique.
But Mr. Tinglou is very mysterious and his whereabouts are erratic, otherwise who knows how many people would come to his door every day and affect his life and creation.
Xiao Lanyuan had sent a message to people to look for Mr. Tinglou half a month ago, but he has not been found yet.
"Not yet. But I heard that Mr. Tinglou should be in Zhaoguo during this period."
"Look again."
"yes."
Qingyi took a quick look at his face.
The prince wanted to find Mr. Tinglou, of course, to ask Mr. Tinglou to make a mask for him.
All the masks that can be found outside now are not suitable for the prince.
We need to make a mask that is secure to wear but breathable and won't touch the facial scars.
This requires good materials and craftsmanship, and it must be customized according to the prince's face.
The prince doesn’t even go to the courtyard now, it must be because of this face.
Whenever he came back, he always wore a veil, and the butler didn't see the prince's face.
Qing Yi sighed after he went out.
Although the prince didn't say it, it was obvious that he cared about this face.
If the prince's face never gets better, won't he be invisible for the rest of his life? That would be very hard to endure.
In fact, if the emperor saw the prince's face, he would probably feel relieved about him. A person with a disfigured face cannot be the emperor. This means that the prince will definitely not be thinking about that position.
But then he thought again, and felt that it was not right. The emperor might use this reason to make him hand over everything he had.
Anyway, as long as you don't trust and like someone, and don't take away everything, you will always feel uneasy.
Fu Zhaoning was about to return to Jianjiayuan when he was stopped by two people halfway.
"princess."
Fu Zhaoning stopped and looked at the two people for a long time before recognizing them.
It's almost unrecognizable.
It's white frost and golden snow.
When I first saw these two maids, they were wearing gorgeous clothes, exquisite makeup, and had fair skin. They looked like young ladies from wealthy families.
Moreover, they looked proud and condescending at the time. If you didn't know them, you would think they were princesses.
But now Baishuang and Jinxue were wearing plain clothes of the third-class maids in the palace, with only a few simple silk flowers on their heads. They were completely different.
The biggest difference is their expression and eyes.
The arrogance of the past was gone, and now they were even a little afraid to meet Fu Zhaoning's gaze.
"It's you guys, is there something wrong?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
She was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that they would change so much. Now that she thought about it, Xiao Lanyuan must have done more than just chores for them. He probably did something to put pressure on them psychologically and mentally.
That man would be quite scary if he became an enemy.
"Princess, Jin Xue and I would like to plead for mercy on our behalf. Is that okay?" Bai Shuang said in a low voice.
"plead?"
"I don't know if Princess still remembers that the prince said before that if we can help draw the costumes of the women in the capital at that time, it will be considered as atonement for our sins."
"Remember."
Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised, "Could it be that Xiao Lanyuan doesn't keep his word?" And is he still punishing them?
In fact, it was the same for her. After the two maids completed the task, she regarded it as their atonement.
"No, the prince said at the time that if we succeeded in this matter, he would allow us to choose another place in the palace and choose an easier job."
"So what are you trying to ask for now?" Fu Zhaoning was puzzled. "Don't you have another place to go?"
"At that time, Bai Shuang and I didn't want to choose," Jin Xue bit her lower lip and spoke, "We had a little idea. We thought that we could save up the merits this time so that we could help the prince and princess again when they needed us. In this way, if we saved up merits a few more times, we could make the prince agree to let us return to serve him."
It turns out that I had this idea in mind.
Bai Shuang looked at Fu Zhaoning.
"Princess, please don't misunderstand me. We really don't have any other thoughts. We just feel that the prince has never had a maid by his side, and we are a little worried that the guards will not take good care of him."
Fu Zhaoning smiled.
"So you're asking me to beg for mercy now, because you want to go back to Xiao Lanyuan and be his maid?"
"No, no." Jin Xue said quickly, "The prince told us clearly that if we were sorry for him, we might still have a chance, but we hurt the princess, so no matter what we do, we will never have a chance to go back in this life."
Bai Shuang also said, "Yes, the prince has warned us that if we hurt the princess again, he will take our lives with his own hands."
Fu Zhaoning was stunned.
Did Xiao Lanyuan tell them this?
"The reason why the prince kept us here is actually because we are familiar with Youqing Peak. When we go to Youqing Peak, we will also serve the Peak Master. The prince kept us alive for the Peak Master's sake."
"So what do you want me to ask for now?"
"Princess, Jin Xue and I want to go to Youqing Peak. Is that okay?"
