"However, I am also curious . When did you and Prince Hao get to know each other? There was a time when Mu Tao said that you were possessed and had become very different . Could it have started from that day, you…"
"Hong Li, can I say that I'm not familiar with Prince Hao? Someone of his status is not a person that I can forge connections with; it's just that some matters aren't what they appear to be on the surface . "
Puzzlement appeared in Hong Li's eyes and she looked at Su Xi-er attentively . "You're not familiar with Prince Hao? How can that be? That day, he clearly punished Old Maidservant Zhao for your sake . Furthermore, didn't you tell Old Maidservant Zhao that you have a backer?"
"You are sometimes very smart but sometimes very stupid . In the future, don't say anything at all . You just have to listen to me . Otherwise, seek a way out for yourself . " Su Xi-er didn't have time to explain, thus, she immediately walked forward speedily .

Hong Li was getting anxious . I can't seek a way out for myself . I want to follow and mingle with Su Xi-er!
Hence, she ran forward and grabbed Su Xi-er . She softly said, "Don't worry, I will try hard to become smart and not a smart alec . You have to take me out . All of my hopes are pinned on you . "
Su Xi-er looked at Hong Li's earnest eyes and nodded . "Mhm, go and do your work . "
Having obtained Su Xi-er's a . s . surance, Hong Li's relieved face was plastered in smiles . She immediately ran to the area she worked at .

She gazed at Hong Li's departing figure . Her current appearance is very much like a carefree little la . s . s with no worries .
It's just that when one is in the Palace Side Quarters, there are many times when we don't have the freedom to act out of our own volition .
The other palace maids were currently working . When they worked, it would be time for Su Xi-er to rest .
The weather is currently hot so working at night is cooling . Once the weather becomes cold, however, I will be the one suffering . I must think of a way to change my work before that time .

Since Ruo Yuan had helped her a lot last night, she decided to visit her .
As Ruo Yuan had a robust body, the tiring heavy labour that was suitable for men was all carried out by her .
Su Xi-er came to the southwest side of the Palace Side Quarters . The area where the chamber pots were placed was very close to the woodhouse Ruo Yuan worked in .
However, she didn't expect that Ruo Yuan wasn't around .
Coincidentally, Lian Qiao pa . s . sed by and immediately rushed over after she saw Su Xi-er .
Su Xi-er looked at her and asked, "Lian Qiao, have you seen Ruo Yuan?"
Lian Qiao looked pensive . "She . . . I don't know where she is . In the past, she should be here chopping the firewood . "
At this moment, a contemptuous woman's voice sounded . It was the thin palace maid who had originally stayed in the same room as Su Xi-er .
"Ruo Yuan was just taken away by the imperial bodyguards . "
