Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 28

Chapter 28
There was no change in Situ Li's expression . His inner thoughts were indiscernible from his countenance, an indifferent tone hiding emotions as he spoke . "He is unexpectedly very concerned . "





He suddenly s . h . i . +fted his gaze and looked at Ruo Yuan who was leaning against the tree trunk and sleeping . He slowly posed a question, "If it were this palace maid, would Prince Hao be this concerned?"

He was using another method to remind her . "Prince Hao is treating you like that because you are beautiful . "

"This servant understands what you're saying, Third Imperial Prince . Prince Hao is too eminent and beyond my reach . This servant's close sister was taken into the Beauty Palace and has experienced ups and downs . I reckon that it isn't too pleasant . "

Many people's impression towards Pei Qianhao is that he has a n . o . ble ident . i . ty and likes beauties . But is he really like that? Perhaps his real nature is like that or perhaps he actually hides himself deeper than any other person .

Situ Li immediately chuckled instead . There was finally an almost undetectable fluctuation in his voice . "His n . o . ble ident . i . ty is temporary . How many people have been n . o . ble for all their life? Even if it is Prince Hao, he also has ignominious moments . "





A handsome face emerged in Su Xi-er's mind . Ignominious moments? Is he referring to Pei Qianhao's past?

As the Pei Family's foster son, the fact that the details about his biological parents aren't clear is probably a blot on his life, right?

Right at this moment, Situ Li suddenly walked closer to her and swept his gaze lightly over the chamber pots . "Although you're currently the palace maid scrubbing the chamber pots, no one can be sure about what would happen in the future . "

Su Xi-er felt that Situ Li was contradicting himself . He previously told me that beautiful women don't live long . But now he's saying that I may never know if I will be able to free myself and bring about a change in fortune .

From his words, she could deduce that he was aloof and antisocial, but was extremely bewildered in his heart . He probably only experiences that kind of pain profoundly at midnight .

However, I won't tell him this . I can't say it and there's no need for me to say it .

"Until when are you going to scrub these chamber pots?" Situ Li changed the topic and his gaze kept moving back and forth between the chamber pots and Su Xi-er .

"If there are many, I won't be able to finish scrubbing even after an entire night . If there are fewer like tonight, I'll be able to finish in a little more than six hours . " Su Xi-er lowered her head and started scrubbing .

She had never done this kind of work in her previous lifetime . Now, she was getting more and more skilled in it .

Situ Li stood at the side and watched her silently scrub under the moonlight . Her face was completely serious with no sign of unwillingness .





Is there really this kind of person in this world? Willing to be in a low position with no complaints, only wis . h . i . +ng to lead a smooth and steady life forever .


"Third Imperial Prince, you should go back early to rest," Su Xi-er raised her head and respectfully said .

"You're chasing me back?" Situ Li asked back . He slowly paced back and forth, clearly not intending to leave at all .

"This servant doesn't have the right to chase you away . However, this is the Palace Side Quarters . It wouldn't be good if someone gets the goods on you . "

"Becoming a subject for gossip? Do I have to be afraid of that? By giving you medicinal powder, Prince Hao is also leaving behind a pretext for gossip," Situ Li replied softly . "However, someone will settle Prince Hao's matters . Pei Yaran pays meticulous attention to every single matter of Prince Hao . "

Su Xi-er didn't speak . The Third Imperial Prince always intentionally or unintentionally targets Prince Hao with his words . If there's an entanglement between the two of them, they should just settle it on their own . Why do they have to drag me in?

They don't care about becoming a subject for gossip, but for someone like me who has a low status, any random rumour can bring endless troubles .

"You're afraid of becoming a subject for gossip? You feel that this is a scandal?" Situ Li continued asking her .

Su Xi-er didn't answer . It's not easy to answer this question . She pretended to be ignorant and didn't utter a single word .
