Chapter 33 The Strange Thief (Third Update)
"Is His Royal Highness going out of the palace to chase him?"
"Chasing? Where are you going to chase? What can really be chased by you is not the strange thief Tang Si. Mu Yunting sneered and said.
"But, Your Highness..."
"I have my own plans." Mu Yunting waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Huazi's words.
"Yes, I asked them not to look for it anymore."
At this time, Mu Yunting suddenly turned his face and looked at Xie Zhiruo and asked coldly, "Do you really see the strange thief Tang Si? How did you see him?
"Me? I'm..." Xie Zhiruo was hesitating to tell Tang Si about saving her.
"What, what else can't be said? Do you know the thief Tang Si? Speaking of this, Mu Yunting dangerously narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Zhiruo, as if she dared to nod and would smash her body.
Xie Zhiruo shook her head in a hurry. No, no, I don't know him. It's just that he helped me.
"Help you?" Mu Yunting raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Zhiruo, motioning her to continue.
"Yes, the thief Tang Si helped me."
At this time, Mu Yunting noticed that Xie Zhiruo's clothes were dry. Why did he help you? You also said you didn't know him! Say, who is the strange thief Tang Si?
"I, I really don't know him. He only helped me when he saw me." Why don't you always believe her? Why do you gouge out her heart with that knife again and again? Don't you know that she will also feel tired and painful?
"Okay, I will believe you for the time being. If I find out that you are a liar, don't blame me for being rude at that time! Get out of here and go back to your yard."
Xie Zhiruo forced the tears that were about to fall back. She can't shed tears as often as in the past. She has to learn to be strong. She has to wait until the day when Ye Yan comes back to her!
"I know. I'll go back now." Just as Xie Zhiruo was about to leave, she heard Shen Yuyan's voice from outside the room.
"See the Crown Princess."
"Get up, His Royal Highness is in there?"
"Mother, His Royal Highness is in it."
Soon, the voice of Xiao Huazi's announcement sounded outside the door. Your Highness, the princess is asking for a meeting.
"Come in."
"See Your Highness." As soon as Shen Yujuan entered the door, she saluted Mu Yunting.
Mu Yunting came forward and helped Shen Yuyan and pulled her to his side. His expression was not as cold as before, but his soft face said to Shen Yuyan, "Why did you come?"
"When she heard that the night pearl given by Her Royal Highness had been stolen, she was very worried that she wanted to come here to have a look."
"This matter can be handled by the palace. There is no need to worry about it."
Hearing this, Shen Yuyan blamed herself and said, "The night pearl was just given to the princess today, but it was stolen in the evening. This was all because of the negligence of the princess. Please punish her."
"Since I have given you the night pearl, it is yours. If you lose your own things, how can I punish you?"
"However, that night pearl was given by the emperor to your highness..."
"Don't worry. It's getting late. Let's go back and have a rest."
"It's so late, is Your Highness still reading the medal?" Shen Yuyan nodded and looked at the medal on the desk and said sadly.
"Why don't you leave? Do you want me to send you?" Inadvertently, Mu Yunting caught a glimpse of Xie Zhiruo, who was still standing in the room, and said coldly with a sinking face.
Xie Zhiruo originally wanted to leave, but she didn't want to. She didn't want Mu Yunting and Shen Yujuan to stay alone.
"Why is Sister Xie here?" After entering the door, Shen Yuyan had been paying attention to Mu Yunting. She didn't pay attention to Xie Zhiruo standing by the door at all. In her opinion, Xie Zhiruo should still kneel in the Star Viewing Pavilion. How could she be in Mu Yunting's study? Or two people?
"I, I just, I'm just here..." Xie Zhiruo couldn't say anything for a long time because she was depressed.
"I just looked at my sister's nothing to do. I was worried that the wind would be too cold at night, and I was going to ask Feiyun to send you clean clothes."
Xie Zhiruo has to admit that Shen Yujuan is really a good person. Their current relationship is a rival, but she still helps her so much.
"Thank you for your concern."
"It's my sister who is polite." Shen Yuyan smiled gently and said.
"Why don't you go? Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Mu Yunting said coldly to Xie Zhiruo.
"I'll leave right away." She doesn't want to stay and see the sweetness of the two of them, because her heart is bleeding.
"It's late at night, and it's very inconvenient to walk back and forth. You can rest here in this palace tonight." With that, Mu Yunting gently hugged Shen Yuyan to the lounge in the inner room of the study.
"Your Highness, let's have a rest with your daughter."
"Okay, I'm also a little tired."
The sky gradually turned white. There have been many hawkers on the street who have begun to set up their own stalls, picking up and preparing to open stalls. There are also many breakfast shops with many business travelers who have to go as soon as possible.
In a relatively remote breakfast shop, a man dressed in gray clothes, with long hair tied high and an ordinary appearance looked at the note in his hand, with an evil and playful smile at the corners of his mouth that was extremely inconsistent with the whole ordinary face.
"Keep it here for the time being. Humph, the tone is quite loud, but I don't know if you have the ability to take it back!" After saying that, the man gently clenched the note in his hand, and the note instantly turned into paper powder and fell into the dust.
After drinking all the noodle soup in the bowl, the man got up and left.
Every time she looks at the sunlight shining into the room through the window paper, Xie Zhiruo will feel that she can warm her body, but when she thinks of what happened in Mu Yunting's study last night, she only feels that no matter how much sunlight is, she can't warm her heart.
Because she was too tired, she fell asleep as soon as she got back to her yard last night. When I woke up today, I remembered that she went to the courtyards with Yuexi last night to pour Yexiang. I don't know if Yuexi didn't wait for her to think something had happened to her?
Thinking like this, Xie Zhiruo sat up. When she was about to get out of bed, she found that her sprained foot last night was still very painful. I don't know if it was the reason why she walked so far last night. However, before her body recovered, she was wet and stayed in the cold wind for so long. She didn't expect that she had nothing to do after waking up today. Did her resistance become stronger, or did the pills that the thief Tang Si took for her work?
If she is really fine because of that pill, then she is really sorry for the thief Tang Si, but he is a thief! How can you think you don't know what to do? Well, now Ye Mingzhu has also been stolen by Tang Si, and his people have escaped safely. She'd better not care about it anymore. Even if she wants to take care of it, she can't do it.
Tang Si said that she had to apply medicine for her feet for three days to get better, otherwise the recovery time would be longer. Last night, Mu Yunting promised her that she could come back to her yard. Does that mean that she doesn't have to be punished by what he said yesterday?
While thinking about it, Xie Zhiruo put on her clothes. When she was wearing shoes, she did not put on the injured foot, but found some older silk cloth in the wardrobe and carefully wrapped the injured foot. She is going to make it more convenient to apply the medicine later, and although her feet are not as swollen as last night, it is still a little difficult to wear into the embroidered shoes.
"Ha ha, I look like a disabled person like this." Xie Zhiruo looked at her feet wrapped like Zongzi and said self-deprecatingly.
"Yes, who is in the house? Is it Miss?"
Maybe the sound of Xie Zhiruo in the room has been shocked to the moon that has been sleeping in the next ear room.
In fact, Yuexi was not sure whether there was really someone in the room. She just heard a noise in it. When Xie Zhiruo returned to her yard last night, Yuexi was so tired that she fell asleep.
Originally, she should have rested in the yard where the maids of honor lived, but no one arranged her residence there at all. She was embarrassed to squeeze in a ** with Bier, so she returned to the yard where she and Xie Zhiruo lived.
"Yuexi, it's me." Hearing Yuexi's voice, Xie Zhiruo exhaled gently, and Yuexi was fine in the yard.
"Is it really a young lady?" Yue Xi said and came in happily.
"Ye-huh, it's me." Xie Zhiruo is also very happy. She feels that only Yuexi and she are dependent on each other in this big Zhaoyang Palace now.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? You were fine when you went to that yard last night. Why did you look like this this morning?" Yue Xi looked at Xie Zhiruo's wrapped feet like zongzi with doubts, and asked with worry in her eyes.
"Hehe, it's okay. I just fell last night." Xie Zhiruo's smile is a little embarrassing, and she is worried again, isn't it?
"Did Miss hurt her foot yesterday? But why didn't you see the young lady when Yuexi went to look for the young lady last night?
"Ah, this is because my sister in the yard took me to take me to medicine after I hurt my foot last night. I'm not good. I forgot to ask someone to tell you in time to worry you." If Xie Zhi is not a person who is good at lying, her face turned a little red when she said this to Yuexi.
"I miss Miss in my heart. That's what Yuexi should do." Seeing that Xie Zhiruo was so hesitant, Yuexi knew that there might be something difficult to say, so she simply didn't ask more questions. Now it's good to see Xie Zhiruo intact in front of her.
