Chapter 85
Shui Yinglian followed Su Xi-er into the boiler room, observing the latter as she went about with her work . Her hair is unkempt, and her collar is also messy . Could there be a hickey on her neck and behind her ear?

The more Shui Yinglian looked at her, the more a . n . a . lytical she became . Only after Su Xi-er placed the teakettle on the stove and turned around did Shui Yinglian stow away her inquiring gaze and reveal a smiling expression . "As Prince Hao's personal maidservant, you definitely know some of his preferences . Can you tell them to me?"
How would I know his preferences? Since this eldest young miss wants to know, there is no harm in . . . Su Xi-er chortled inwardly before raising her head to look at Shui Yinglian . "You really want to know?"
Shui Yinglian's smile was even more radiant, and her att . i . tude became increasingly genial . "Can you tell me? Of course, I won't force you if you don't want to . " She understood very well that if she used the hard way on this woman, it would definitely cause a large commotion . It wouldn't be good if Dad is drawn over .
Su Xi-er pretended to deliberate before she whispered, "I can tell you, but you mustn't breathe a word to others . At worst, this matter may even be considered as secretly defacing Prince Hao, and would cause us to lose our heads!" When she spoke, she deliberately put on a frightened appearance .

Shui Yinglian immediately nodded . "Don't worry, I am also afraid of losing my head . Now, quickly tell me what he likes . " Traces of bright light shot out from her eyes . As long as I know Prince Hao's preferences, I will be able to approach him without causing him to be repulsed .
Su Xi-er knew that Shui Yinglian had taken the bait . "Prince Hao likes bold women; and they even have to be daring in a way that it fits his taste . It's hard to explain this taste of his . If you audaciously challenge his authority in front of others, Prince Hao will punish you accordingly . But if you are a bit bolder at night, when others are absent, he may take a fancy to you"
Shui Yinglian recounted the past day carefully . No wonder Prince Hao's expression was unpleasant that day . So it's actually because I was bold at the wrong time . Everyone was present, so wasn't I not giving him face?
So it's actually like this! An idea suddenly popped into Shui Yinglian's eyes . She looked at the teakettle on the stove and smiled . "Would it be alright for me to send hot water to Prince Hao?"

Su Xi-er purposely waved her hand repeatedly . "That won't do . Since Prince Hao has already ordered for me to send it, I will have to bear the consequences if he finds out that you have taken my place . "
"I have a way!" Shui Yinglian smiled and raised her hand, about to aim for Su Xi-er's sleeping acupoint . "I will knock you out . How are you going to deliver water when you are unconscious?"
Su Xi-er moved to the side rapidly, dodging Shui Yinglian's blow . She's a well-bred daughter from a n . o . ble family, yet she knows where the sleeping acupoint is .

Shui Yinglian's eyebrows furrowed as she didn't understand what Su Xi-er meant . Only if she has fainted, Prince Hao won't reproach Su Xi-er even if he finds out .
"You don't have to knock me out . I can pretend to be unconscious . Do you want to change into grey coa . r . s . e attire before going? Otherwise, with this light yellow dress of yours, you will be kicked out before you even go in . " Su Xi-er proposed slowly . Letting Shui Yinglian change her clothes and send the water disguised as myself can be considered a big 'pleasant surprise' to 'repay' him for his actions .
Shui Yinglian's expression brightened . "Okay! Let's do that then! We will exchange clothes, then you will pretend to be unconscious while I send the hot water over . If it succeeds, I will thank you properly . "
"You don't have to thank me . "
As Su Xi-er and Shui Yinglian were exchanging clothing, Shui Yinglian inadvertently noticed the scar on the back of the latter's shoulder .
Shui Yinglian's body involuntarily trembled . This woman has suffered so much . She has been flogged to this extent .
"If I become Princess Consort Hao in the future, you won't lack benefits . No one will whip you . " Shui Yinglian vowed solemnly .
As long as she doesn't fight over Prince Hao with me, everything else can be easily negotiated .
Su Xi-er chuckled . "I wish you luck . Make sure that you carry the water over only after you've added a little cold water and properly adjusted the temperature . "
Shui Yinglian followed Su Xi-er's instructions, and was soon carrying a basin of water out the door of the boiler room .
