Not long after the first imperial guard had left, the door of the room opened and revealed another who immediately bowed .

"Paying respects to Prince Hao . "
Su Xi-er was still puzzled by the timing of Yun Ruofeng's message . Even if the poison from the banded krait was forced out, it would still take several days for the body to fully recover . Not only that, Yun Ruofeng had invited Pei Qianhao to the Imperial Palace only a few days ago . Now he's inviting him to the Prince Yun Residence .
What on earth is Yun Ruofeng up to? Nanzhao's customs dictate that a host must entertain their guests with Nanzhao's famous premium wine, leading them in a toast no less than 3 times . For someone of Pei Qianhao's status who has come to Nanzhao for the first time, there must have been at least 5 such toasts during the previous palace visit .
And yet, despite his poor health, Yun Ruofeng is once again inviting Pei Qianhao over right before the state banquet . How can there be no drinking at a banquet? Furthermore, Nanzhao is renowned for its fruit wine and flower wine, as well as for its many citizens with high liquor capacity . After seeing how much Pei Qianhao drank last time, I'm sure that there won't be a small amount of alcohol this time either .

Pei Qianhao glanced at Su Xi-er and then said, "Change your clothes and accompany this Prince to the Prince Yun Residence . "
This made it clear that he had agreed to go to the Prince Yun Residence .
"Prince Hao, this servant can't go," Su Xi-er directly refused . Why do I have to go to the Prince Yun Residence?
Pei Qianhao chuckled . "You're this Prince's maidservant, yet you dare to disobey this Prince's instructions?" Although he was asking a question, his tone didn't allow for any argument .
"This servant is tired from strolling around today . Prince Hao, please drink less wine when you are at the Prince Yun Residence . This servant will be in the rear kitchen . " Su Xi-er's tone sounded respectful, but her words definitely weren't .

Without Pei Qianhao's permission, she walked away .
Pei Qianhao didn't stop her or say anything; he just watched her leave .
The imperial guard was on tenterhooks . He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Prince Hao, and only felt an aura of coldness . After a long while, he finally heard the prince speak .
"Go to the back kitchen and tell Su Xi-er that this Prince will be in the horse carriage outside of the posthouse . If she doesn't come out, a high-quality rouge will be sent to her . "

The imperial guard continued to stare at the front door of the posthouse, not knowing what kind of rouge would be presented . If Su Xi-er doesn't come, not only will she not be punished, she will be rewarded! What kind of logic is that?!
Pei Qianhao was clearly unhappy . "Still not going?"
The imperial guard felt the pressure and trembled as he immediately began to leave, speeding up as he went .
Su Xi-er was already in the back kitchen . I originally thought that Pei Qianhao would stop me and force me to go, no matter how I resisted . However, he has allowed me to escape .
Yesterday, Yun Ruofeng came to the posthouse when Pei Qianhao wasn't here . Today, he has invited Pei Qianhao to the Prince Yun Residence . Yun Ruofeng's body shouldn't have fully recovered from the snake venom so quickly .
Su Xi-er scrunched up her slender eyebrows slightly and sat onto a wooden chair, raising her right hand to rub her forehead . No matter what, I won't be going tonight, and neither do I want to go . Moreover, Pei Qianhao was asking me if I am acquainted with Yun Ruofeng without rhyme or reason . ; all the more I can't go .
But it's not easy to shake off Pei Qianhao . He won't change his decisions .
Not long after Su Xi-er sat down in the kitchen, the voice of an imperial guard could be heard . "Su Xi-er, Prince Hao has instructed that he is waiting for you in the horse carriage outside the posthouse . If you don't come, a high-quality rouge will be prepared for you . "
When she heard the words 'high-quality rouge', Su Xi-er's chest tightened . He isn't talking about an ordinary rouge, but the philtre fragrance rouge .
