Even if lying down without moving, her legs still hurt.
Shen Qi leaned on the bed, her eyes fell on the Gardenia Tree outside the window, remembering what happened yesterday with her brows knitted tightly.

At this time in the previous life, Prince Xuan wasn’t in the palace.
Not until the middle of the month, he hurried back covered in dust.
Shen Qi only then knew that those days when Prince Xuan wasn’t in the prince’s palace, he actually traveled the mountains and rivers to search for a priceless treasure for Su Lianxue as a birthday gift to please her.

But yesterday, Prince Xuan returned to the prince’s palace almost ten days earlier than the previous life.

Thinking of everything yesterday, Shen Qi brows wrinkled deeper.

Yesterday, someone from Su Lianxue came over, saying that she stole the rouge that His Highness gave to Girl Su.

It was the same as in the previous life, only to start over again.

However, in the previous life, she did take the rouge that Prince Xuan, Shen Zhonghua gave to Su Lianxue but didn’t steal.
It was the best rouge in the Yunbin Huayan Building which was given to Su Lianxue shortly before Shen Zhonghua left the palace.

However, Su Lianxue didn’t like it and complained to Shen Zhonghua: “Xue-er already has this color rouge, but Your Highness still gave it to me.
It was clear that Your Highness didn't pay enough attention to Xue-er and didn't notice……”

Su Lianxue relied on favored and dared to spoil, but at the same time, Shen Zhonghua's personal guard reported that there were important tasks for Shen Zhonghua to continue so Shen Zhonghua didn’t comfort Su Lianxue for long.
As soon as Shen Zhonghua stepped out of the Xi Courtyard, Su Lianxue turned and threw the small box of rouge out of the window.

As a person that died for Shen Zhonghua, at that time, she somehow lost her mind and picked up the overturned small box of rouge, carefully took it into her arms……

Then later, it was the scene of yesterday.
A servant girl and an old woman of the Xi Courtyard rushed into her room fiercely and overturned everything.

The difference was that she was unguarded in the previous life so the small box of rouge was found.

After rebirth, Shen Qi naturally threw that small box of troublesome rouge away.
It was just that she didn't expect Su Lianxue's people to still find the same rouge in her room.

Su Lianxue's personal servant girl, Xiaoru, fox faked tiger power smashed that small box of rouge onto her head: “The evidence is here, do you still want to quibble?”

Shen Qi could hide but she couldn’t because she was a person that died for Shen Zhonghua.
Shen Zhonghua’s order, she needed to obey all her life.
On the day when Shen Zhonghua took Su Lianxue into the prince’s palace, Shen Zhonghua ordered Shen Qi: “In the future, see Miss Su as seeing this prince.”

So she couldn't hide.

As in her previous life, the rouge box cut her forehead, and blood flowed down.

Shen Qi suddenly understood.
No matter whether the box of rouge was with her or not, Su Lianxue made it clear that she wanted to bully her and she was also just the right person to pinch.

Shen Zhonghua wasn’t in the prince’s palace and Su Lianxue no longer pretended to be a gentle and virtuous lady, laughing very brightly: “It's just a small box of rouge.
This miss isn’t going to make you feel embarrassed or awkward.
Just kneel in the courtyard for twelve full shichen.”

(T/N: a shichen = 2 hour.)

After finished speaking, Su Lianxue went into the room to dress up, applied powder and went out to enjoy flowers and teas with the noble daughters in Chang'an City.

Su Lianxue's order was like Shen Zhonghua's order.
Shen Qi only felt her whole body was ice-cold, but she obediently knelt down and kneeled straight.

Shen Qi thought: “Is this the so-called fate? Even if live again, still can't escape and doomed to not escape……”

In her previous life, she didn’t eat or drink and knelt for twelve full shichen from daytime to twilight.
At dusk, it rained and the clothes on her whole body were wet.
She knelt with her whole body drenched in that place, knelt in the doorway of Su Lianxue's courtyard, on the uneven ground decorated with cobblestone.

Because of that, her legs have fallen into the root of disease and her knees were painful from time to time.
Especially when it was raining on a cloudy day, it was even more painful.

This life too should be the same.

However, Shen Qi had never thought that she would see Prince Xuan, Shen Zhonghua covered in dust at this time……
