Near the garden, people who were observing from a distance were somewhat bewildered as Xiao Hua approached the Fourth Prince Hongxuan step by step.
"Something feels off."
Could this feeling, this atmosphere, be a sign that something is about to happen?
As usual, Xiaohua stepped aside and bowed to Xiao Hongxuan.
Xiao Hongxuan has an excellent memory, and he has often seen Xiao Hua here, but he feels that she is different from usual. She seems to be much bolder and dares to approach him.
Knowing that this person had always avoided him in the past, Xiao Hongxuan felt something was wrong and immediately became alert.
The eunuch who had been following Xiao Hongxuan was indeed a disciple specially trained by Li Dequan. He also noticed something was wrong and cautiously stood between his young master and Xiao Hua.
Such an obvious protective stance was noticed by those observing from afar, leaving them even more confused and frustrated.
"What, is this little flower kidding me? She's so useless, she actually exposed herself!"
Another group of observers also felt uneasy. "I knew something was wrong just now. Their attitude of heading straight for the Fourth Prince was quite obvious. How could they have chosen such an idiot to do this? He's more of a hindrance than a help."
A person hiding by a small pond, who was spying, glanced at the pond beside him and got angry. "Fool! The Fourth Prince passes by this pond every day. If he wanted to do something, and was so bold and direct, he might as well just wait here and push him into the pond. Wouldn't it be better to freeze or drown the Fourth Prince?"
The groups of people, all with grim expressions, knew that their plan was doomed to fail, as their scheme had already been exposed, and they began to think about their own escape routes.
However, still somewhat unwilling, and disappointed in the maid named Xiaohua, the group glared at her resentfully.
Then it was seen that Xiao Hua seemed to know that she had been exposed, so she suddenly sprang up and pushed the little eunuch to the ground, and then reached out to grab Xiao Hongxuan.
Xiao Hongxuan was already agile, and recently, under the guidance of his martial arts master, he had learned some boxing techniques. In addition, he had been practicing the Shangqing Scripture for several months, which made him even more agile. As a result, Xiao Hua managed to catch her off guard.
The observer who saw this scene from afar gaped open, dumbfounded. He knew that the maid named Xiaohua was both brainless and audacious, but after being exposed, she actually went along with it and directly started a fight.
Good heavens, this is outrageous! Too brutal! Too direct!
"Help! Someone help!" Although the little eunuch was also caught off guard and shocked by the maid's arrogance, he quickly came to his senses and realized that saving his master was the priority, so he shouted loudly.
This shout snapped the stunned observers back to their senses, but they immediately found themselves at a loss for what to do.
What should we do to help Xiaohua?
It was indeed the master's order, but Xiao Hua was acting so blatantly, and the little eunuch's shouts must have been heard. Someone would arrive soon, so the chances of failure were quite high.
Of course, if I help stall for time, and Xiao Hua catches the Fourth Prince, I can directly and brutally kill him. In the blink of an eye, the chances of success will greatly increase.
But that would definitely leave traces and clues, exposing not only themselves but also their masters. That won't do.
After the denial, several groups of people, clinging to a sliver of hope, expected Xiao Hua to quickly capture the Fourth Prince before anyone arrived, and then brutally kill him.
Thinking about it, it's quite possible, after all, that little flower is quite a bit older than the Fourth Prince.
Sure enough, just as the little eunuch who had been pushed down scrambled to his feet and rushed toward Xiao Hua, wanting to help his master, Xiao Hua finally caught up with the nimble Xiao Hongxuan.
The eunuch's face turned ugly and terrified, while the groups of onlookers looked on with delight, as if they had succeeded.
But in the next instant, the situation reversed.
The young eunuch went from fear to delight, while the onlookers went from delight to dumbfounded and furious.
It wasn't that Xiao Hongxuan escaped his predicament; it was simply that Xiao Hua's actions were incredibly foolish.
The onlookers were internally screaming: "Where did their arrogance go? Where did their directness go? Where did their brutality go? Their behavior is so different now, are they playing a trick on us?!"
There's a modern saying that perfectly describes these people's feelings: "Are you a clown hired by the monkeys?!"
After Xiao Hua hugged Xiao Hongxuan in her arms, her body stiffened involuntarily; and, it was so soft.
Xiao Hua unconsciously hugged Xiao Hongxuan tighter, then suddenly loosened her grip.
Xiao Hongxuan was surprised, but that didn't stop him from preparing to save himself. He moved his little hand inside his sleeve, and no one noticed that the thing inside his sleeve reflected the sunlight.
Just as he was about to make a move, Xiao Hua did something foolish that made the eunuch and several groups of onlookers change their expressions.
Unlike previous actions, which were direct and brutal, this one did not directly and violently kill Xiao Hongxuan. Instead, it involved carrying Xiao Hongxuan and running wildly.
Xiao Hongxuan paused in his counterattack, suddenly feeling a sense of confusion. This maid was a human trafficker who wanted to kidnap him, not someone who wanted to kill him.
However, when the little guy saw that the direction he was running towards with his maid was clearly towards the pond, he guessed that the other party wanted to drown him, or, if they couldn't drown him, they wanted to make him suffer from frostbite, illness, or even freeze to death.
The person observing from the direction of the pond also realized what was happening, but after realizing it, she felt even angrier and more aggrieved.
"Fool, idiot! If you're so bold and direct, why didn't you just kill him? Why go through all this trouble to throw the Fourth Prince into the pond?"
It wasn't over yet; the frantic chatter continued: "Such a long way, how much time will that waste? What if some unexpected obstacle appears during that time? It'll all be a waste of time. How could they be so stupid!"
