Chapter 374 Princess's Skirt 20
Little Mirror bowed and smiled unnaturally, "The Crown Prince has been busy with some matters left by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness asked me to bring some cakes that His Royal Highness the Princess likes to eat."
"Why are you so busy?" Gu Li gestured to Feixue to take the food box from Xiao Jingzi's hand. Seeing that Xiao Jingzi was hesitating and wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
"Just say whatever you want to say!"
Little Mirror knelt down in the snow, splashing snowflakes. Gu Li took two steps back in fear, "Little Mirror, what are you doing?"
The young eunuch said quickly with a sad face: "Your Highness, I don't know what's wrong with the Seventh Prince and his men. These days they are always finding fault with you, so much so that you can only close your eyes for two or three hours a day -"
"Did A Shao ask you to tell me this?"
The eunuch raised his head quickly, "No, before leaving, His Highness told me not to tell Her Highness the Princess about the affairs of the Eastern Palace, lest Her Highness the Princess worry. It was me, it was me who felt sorry for His Highness -"
"Get up!"
"Your Highness?"
"Get up. Given your loyalty to your master, I won't tell Ashao. Go back."
"Yes." The young eunuch hung his head and turned away.
It should be the Fengya Tower incident that brought Li Shao these unnecessary troubles. Facing opponents like Li Jun and Li Rong, Li Shao, who is a generation younger, seems too immature.
Forget it, Li Shao is still young, and lack of sleep will probably hinder his growth.
Gu Li went out, but she did not go to Guanshan Temple outside the city. Instead, she took Feixue to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
The snow was heavy and the road was difficult to travel on. The carriage stopped and started for a long time before it got out of the long square of the princess's mansion.
After leaving Pingkangfang, the road was crowded with more and more carriages. Commander Hu chose a secluded path to go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, which was just across the block.
Gu Li lifted the car curtain and looked at the sky outside, wondering if she would still be able to make it to Guanshan Temple after leaving the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
As the snow is getting heavier, the road out of the city will become more difficult to travel.
The vast expanse of white all around made Gu Li's eyes feel a little uncomfortable. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she suddenly saw a familiar figure getting on a carriage in front of her.
"Whose carriage is that?"
Gu Li asked Commander Hu, who had a thin silk scarf tied around his eyes.
Commander Hu only took a glance and replied, "It's the carriage of the Xia family, the counselor."
"you sure?"
Commander Hu pulled off the scarf on his face, pointed at a person coming out of the corner gate of the prince's mansion, turned sideways to the princess behind the curtain and said, "The person coming out of the corner gate is the counselor Xia Yixia."
Gu Li also saw the somewhat plump Lord Xia.
"Heh." Gu Li sneered. It was like someone brought a pillow just when you were sleepy.
The Xia family is so impatient to give her a head, so wouldn't it be unfair to her good seventh brother if she doesn't get up?
"Walk slower and catch up with them!" Gu Li let down the felt curtain and instructed Commander Hu.
Commander Hu responded with a low sound and covered his face with the towel again.
When the carriage drove out of the alley leading to the Prince's Mansion, Gu Li opened the door and said, "Commander Hu, drop Feixue and me off on the street ahead."
"Princess?"
"It's OK. This place is not far from the City Defense Department. If there is anything, I will send someone to the City Defense Department to find Commander Shen."
"I will protect the princess!"
"I have something else for you to do." Gu Li looked at the carriage in front of her which had already turned the corner. "Later, find a way to trick Xia Yi out of the carriage and take him away. I want the life of the other person in the carriage."
She didn't say the last two words, but the coldness on her face made Commander Hu feel that it was colder than the snow outside.
"Yes."
The carriage stopped, and Gu Li quickly got off the carriage with the help of Feixue, signaling Commander Hu to catch up with the Xia family's carriage.
Commander Hu took out a dagger from his arms and fiddled with the wheel of the carriage, then jumped on the carriage and chased after him.
Gu Li and Feixue hid at the corner and watched Commander Hu chasing after them in his carriage. When they were driving side by side with the Xia family's carriage, the carriage suddenly made a sharp turn and crashed straight into the other carriage.
Xia Yi leaned out of the carriage cursing, and when he saw Commander Hu sitting upright next to him, he immediately put on a bright smile.
Xia Yi was about to break out in a cold sweat after taking a look at the carriage behind Commander Hu. Don't run into Princess Chenxiang just after returning from the Seventh Prince's residence to express your gratitude. If something happens to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it will cause trouble for my daughter again.
This time, in order to save his youngest son who had gotten into great trouble, his daughter, who was a concubine in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, made great efforts.
Fortunately, Commander Hu said that the princess was not in the carriage.
He also said that it was because of his negligence that he hit Lord Xia's carriage. He felt very sorry and insisted on taking Lord Xia to a restaurant nearby for a drink.
Faced with the warrior's strong pull, Xia Yi had no choice but to refuse. Although Commander Hu's rank was not as high as his, he was working in the princess's mansion.
Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.
Commander Hu abandoned the broken carriage and took Lord Xia away.
However, there was another person in the Xia family’s carriage, and that was Fatty Xia, who should have been exiled to a military camp on the frontier.
The Xia family actually dared to replace the fat man right under Li Shao's nose, and Xia Yi even dared to take him out and show off, and enter the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
What to do?
thank?
Thanks to their underestimation of Li Shao, they were so confident and let her catch them.
This time, Gu Li wants to beat them to death completely.
Fatty Xia, who was hiding in the carriage, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his father and Commander Hu had gone far away. He whispered to the coachman to drive back home.
Gu Li took advantage of this opportunity to go around to the front of the carriage with Feixue. Feixue was asked to wait on the side. After the carriage had just moved a few steps, Gu Li stumbled and fell in front of the carriage.
The carriage hadn't accelerated yet, and the driver pulled the reins in time, so the horse's hooves were still two arm's lengths away from Gu Li. Gu Li felt a little regretful, the distance was too far, and the accident wasn't realistic enough.
Feixue was very frightened, and the dagger in her sleeve was always pointed at the horse.
"Whoa~" the coachman soothed the horses that were frightened one after another.
Fatty Xia accidentally hit his forehead against the wall of the car, and he immediately became angry. He asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Old Yu, do you know how to drive a carriage?"
"Master, a girl accidentally fell in front of our carriage."
"Who is that blind bastard? Do you want to die?" Fatty Xia was aware of his identity that could not be revealed, so he only lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.
"It's you!"
Fatty Xia recognized at first sight that Gu Li was the nasty woman who almost caused him to be exiled.
No one knew how she caught the noble's eye and made the Crown Prince stand up for her, causing him to have to live as his cousin from now on.
Fatty Xia didn't dare to complain to the Crown Prince, but he was still filled with indignation towards this unidentified woman.
