Chapter 137 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (7)

During dinner time, Song Liaoye came back.

I also bought flowers from a flower shop outside the house. The flowers were so bright and beautiful.

After Song Liaoye entered the room, he gave the flowers to Shen Fanli.

Shen Fanli took the flowers from his hand and put them in an empty vase.

From the skillful movements of the two, it can be seen that this is not the first time that Song Liaoye has given flowers to Shen Fanli.

Including jewelry, Shen Fanli shook her head yesterday and just said that the golden hairpin was too presumptuous, and did not show any surprise.

Shen Fanli was worried about Song Liaoye's arrow wound the whole day. She didn't ask him in the morning because of the accident last night. At noon, he hurried back to have dinner, put on the golden hairpin for her, applied medicine for her, and then left in a hurry.

Before leaving, Shen Fanli seemed to hear Commander Gao's voice.

It is speculated that it may be related to the assassination.

Shen Fanli looked worried, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, you should rest more and shouldn't leave the house all the time."

Listening to the care and worry of the person in front of him, Song Liaoye explained, "I had something to do and had to leave the house. Don't worry, I'm not injured."

Shen Fanli looked unconvinced and looked at people with suspicion.

Song Liaoye looked at Shen Fanli's expression and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you later."

"Let's eat first."

After hearing this, Shen Fanli stopped asking.

When two people eat, they usually don't talk and eat quietly.

At Song Liaoye's strong request, Shen Fanli ate dinner tonight, but didn't eat much.

One is that I have something on my mind, and the other is that my lower lip is broken and it is difficult for me to eat.

After dinner, Song Liaoye kept looking at Shen Fanli, occasionally falling into deep thought.

Like thinking about something.

Seeing Shen Fanli put down his chopsticks, Song Liaoye was a little unhappy and said, "No, eat more. You didn't eat much at noon."

"Your Highness, I have no appetite."

Seeing Shen Fanli's worried look, Song Liaoye seemed to understand what Shen Fanli was thinking, so he said, "If you finish your meal, I won't go out tonight. Do you have an appetite this time?"

Shen Fanli's eyebrows relaxed immediately, and he smiled, "Really?"

Song Liaoye nodded: "When have I ever lied to you?"

So Shen Fanli continued to eat, a little faster than before.

But there is still a big difference in the speed of eating compared to Song Liaoye.

Song Liaoye had finished his meal long ago and was just eating with others.

If she was an ordinary maid, let alone eating at the same table with her master, she would have to serve the meal beside him while he was eating, and she had no right to sit down and eat with him.

Otherwise it would be considered as usurpation. The maids in the royal family would be beaten to death, and the maids in ordinary people's families would be sold.

In this era, slaves, maids and other servants had no human rights at all.

The indenture is held in the hands of the master, which is equivalent to being sold to the master. His/her life is no longer decided by himself/herself. Beating and killing are all based on the master's will, and being given away is also common.

Therefore, Shen Fanli was not considered a maid in the palace, but was half a master.

But she has no identity.

She is neither the adopted daughter of the late princess nor a young lady or cousin of some kind.

She is a maid, but she does not have to care about other people's faces. Everyone in Prince Qi's mansion has to call her Miss Shen.

After Shen Fanli put down his chopsticks again, he gestured for people to look.

She has finished eating.

She looked at Song Liaoye eagerly, her pair of beautiful and clear glass-colored eyes were filled with expectation.

Facing those expectant eyes, Song Liaoye couldn't refuse and nodded, "Then I won't go tonight."

After he finished speaking, it was visible to the naked eye that the smile on Shen Fanli's face deepened.

Seeing the smile on the person in front of him, Song Liaoye also felt that it was not necessary to do that tonight and could be postponed until tomorrow.

"I'll go give some instructions." He tilted his head to indicate what he was going to do.

He stood up, walked to the door, waved to someone, and a person appeared in front of him.

The man knelt on the ground with his head lowered, "My Lord, what can I do for you?"

"Get up," Song Liaoye said casually, which was completely different from when he spoke to Shen Fanli. He was full of oppression and said in a deep voice: "Go find Gao Yu and tell him that I have something to do tonight and ask him to..."

After explaining everything, Song Liaoye went into the room.

Song Liaoye had just lifted his robe and sat down when he heard someone say something.

"Your Highness, there is something I have always wanted to ask."

Song Liaoye looked at the man and nodded, his eyes focused and clear, "You say."

Shen Fanli poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Song Liaoye. "Your Highness, do you know who was behind the assassination of you and the person who knocked me out yesterday?"

Song Liaoye paused for a moment, then continued to drink his tea, "Why are you asking this?"

Shen Fanli poured herself another cup of tea and said softly, "I think this is a bit too coincidental."

"Why did someone mention that His Highness was riding a horse outside the city when I was leaving the mansion? He also mentioned that the young master in Lord Zhang's mansion had broken his leg. Then the coachman appeared at the right time, and then I took the carriage to the outside of the city, and then I was knocked unconscious."

"If Your Highness hadn't saved me, I would have been in great danger. But I am just a maid in the palace, why would someone specifically design to murder me? And after I was rescued by Your Highness, I encountered an assassination not long after I woke up, and Your Highness was injured for saving me."

"I've thought about it over and over again, and I still feel that someone is specifically trying to murder Your Highness. I just don't know why they're targeting me, and I'm worried about your safety..."

Shen Fanli told Song Liaoye his guess very seriously, and his expression was obviously uneasy and worried.

Song Liaoye lowered his eyes and stared at her, unable to look away.

What she said was only part of it, but even so, Song Liaoye still sighed. He loosened his fingers, "Didn't someone try to assassinate me yesterday? It almost hurt you. Gao Yu found something, so I went to take a look this afternoon. I didn't do anything. They were just scumbags. It's not my turn to do anything."

Song Liaoye swiftly took off his shirt and exposed his back to Shen Fanli.

Shen Fanli found that the gauze was still tied well on the shoulders and back, and there was no large amount of blood seeping out, only a small amount, but this was normal.

"Don't worry this time."

Song Liaoye asked.

He turned around again, and lightly touched Shen Fanli's fair and delicate cheek with his slightly calloused fingers. He looked at the golden hairpin in Shen Fanli's hair, his vision unclear, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if he was looking at someone through them.

"As for those dirty and shameful things, you don't need to know. Just be obedient and stay out of the house as little as possible. If you do go out, follow me or bring guards with you. Don't listen to others."

"Did you hear that?"

His words were gentle.

The words of refusal came to his lips, but Shen Fanli still did not shake his head.

She knew that this matter might involve a power struggle among the upper echelons, and even worse, it might even involve the royal family.

Shen Fanli could do nothing about it and could only hope that he was safe.

"Then you should spend less time with your friends in the future. They are all playboys, and no one in the capital has anything good to say about them..."

Song Liaoye chuckled and said, "Then I am also the unpromising dandy prince in their eyes, why don't you talk about me?"

Shen Fanli snorted lightly and didn't want to pay attention to him.
