Consort of a Thousand Faces

I say that I came specifically to see you, would you believe me? ”

”This servant naturally wouldn ’t believe that. ”

”Are you so sure about that? ” Situ Li raised his hand, almost touching her face.

Su Xi-er took a step back.
”Do you know why Old Maidservant Zhao told me to come to this woodhouse? ”

”She ’s telling you not to forge connections with puissant patronages. ” Situ Li ’s clear and cold voice escaped from his lips.

It looks like he is aware of the matter regarding Liu Ye-er.
However, He Ying previously mentioned that the Third Imperial Prince had just returned to the imperial palace recently.

He ’s far away in the county city, yet is so clear about matters of the imperial palace.
Is it because it involves Commandery Prince Xie? ”

”Su Xi-er, women who are beautiful and intelligent don ’t live long in the imperial palace. ” Situ Li placed his hand down and softly muttered.

”This servant is stupid and doesn ’t understand what you mean, Third Imperial Prince. ”

”Pretending to be foolish. ” Situ Li actually laughed before turning around and heading towards the woodhouse.

Strange.
For what purpose did the Third Imperial Prince come to the abandoned woodhouse in the Palace Side Quarters?

Su Xi-er was puzzled and followed him in.

She saw him sweep his eyes over the old items before going to rummage through the cupboard as if he was searching for something.

Finally, he came to the wooden table and looked at the words on it.

”Ye-er, ” he read in a low voice.

’Ye-er ’ was the name carved on the wooden table.
Su Xi-er immediately continued, ”This ’Ye-er ’ is referring to Liu Ye-er, the palace maid from the Palace Side Quarters.
Third Imperial Prince, you are curious about her? ”

”She ’s a mere palace maid from the Palace Side Quarters with no special traits at all.
She ’s not worthy for me to be curious. ”

”Then what did you come here for tonight, Third Imperial Prince? ”

Situ Li raised his head to look at her.
”I came to see you but you didn ’t believe me. ”

”This servant is also a palace maid from the Palace Side Quarters with no special traits.
Third Imperial Prince, you shouldn ’t be curious. ”

She felt that there was an overtone in the Third Imperial Prince ’s words, but she was unable to discern it at this point guess his reason for doing this.

”Your words just now are already enough to prove that you stand out from the rest. ”
