Chapter 133 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (3)
Shen Fanli took a look at Song Liaoye's wound and the location of the bandage, and gently poked the man's back with her slender fingers.
The force was too small and Song Liaoye felt almost nothing.
Seeing this, Shen Fanli increased his strength and poked him again.
This time Song Liaoye noticed it, and he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
When Shen Fanli heard this, she said softly, "Pull your clothes down a bit, it's hard to untie the gauze."
The man chuckled.
Shen Fanli blushed immediately at this slightly magnetic chuckle.
Her face was tinged with a light crimson cloud, and when Song Liaoye saw it, the smile on his handsome face deepened.
“What is the problem?”
"Ok?"
His voice is very pleasant, with an upward sound at the end, and you can tell that he is in a good mood.
Shen Fanli patted him on the back, "Don't talk, turn your head away, I'm going to apply the medicine, don't disturb me."
Song Liaoye shrugged and turned his head away obediently.
After Shen Fanli could no longer see the smiling and teasing face, he concentrated on removing the gauze.
The moment she saw the wound, she paused slightly.
Song Liaoye was very sensitive to her movements, and his face, which was meticulously carved and favored by the Creator, turned back again. Perhaps because Shen Fanli did not treat his injuries professionally, she had touched Song Liaoye's wound several times. At this time, Song Liaoye's face was a little pale and his lips were bloodless.
But the man who had just cried out in pain and asked someone to apply medicine didn't say a word, as if he couldn't feel the pain from the wound.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he was still comforting Shen Fanli, saying: "Is the wound ugly? You can't see it when you close your eyes and apply the medicine."
After a pause, he added: "But you can't despise it."
After hearing this, Shen Fanli finally let go of the worry and helplessness on his face after seeing Song Liaoye's wound up close, but his hands were still moving cautiously.
After taking the medicine, Shen Fanli finally felt relieved.
Song Liaoye put on his shirt, handed a handkerchief to Shen Fanli, and chuckled: "Look at how timid you are, your hands are sweating, wipe the sweat off your hands."
Shen Fanli snorted and replied, "Stop talking. Look at the cold sweat on your forehead."
Then he threw the handkerchief to Song Liaoye.
Song Liaoye did not blame her, but asked about what happened during the day.
"Why did you go outside the city in broad daylight? You didn't have a guard or a maid with you. What were you doing there?"
The man's expression at this moment was somewhat serious, just like the look on Shen Fanli's face when he saw him after waking up from being knocked unconscious during the day.
Shen Fanli felt a little scared when she saw Prince Qi like this.
She had no idea that these things would happen.
"I heard about you when I was out of the house buying some things. You went out of the city to race horses again. You know that Mr. Zhang's son broke his leg half a month ago because of horse racing. I heard that he is still lying in bed and can't get up. He is almost a useless person."
When talking about the latter part, Shen Fanli spoke in a very low voice, and even stood on tiptoe to speak closer.
She forgot at this moment that this was in Prince Qi's mansion, not outside; moreover, it was night time and most people were asleep; moreover, she was in her own room, so it was impossible for anyone else to hear anything.
The man looked at the person who suddenly approached him, his Adam's apple rolling. He stared at Shen Fanli's rosy lips that kept opening and closing as she spoke.
He coughed lightly, picked up the glass of water on the table and drank it directly.
Shen Fanli said hurriedly, trying to stop Song Liaoye's movements with her hands, "Hey, Prince, the water is already cold."
Song Liaoye quickly finished the water in the cup and waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm in good health, so drinking some cold water is nothing."
Shen Fanli put his hand down and murmured softly, "This is also the cup I drink water from, and I haven't finished drinking the water yet."
Hearing this, Song Liaoye wanted to pour another glass of water.
He suppressed this thought and continued to ask: "What about the guards? Why don't you bring them?"
Shen Fanli looked at Song Liaoye and said directly: "I forgot to bring guards. Besides, I am just a maid. I need guards to accompany me when I leave the house. What kind of words are these? Won't they cause criticism?"
Song Liaoye shook his head, stroking the cup in his hand, and said casually, "No matter where people are from or what they do, just do whatever you want. No matter how arrogant the people in my Qi Palace are, if you hear anyone criticizing you, just have them arrested. Then I will peel off his tongue and send him to the government to serve a few months in jail."
He totally has the demeanor of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
Shen Fanli frowned when he heard what he said, "You can't use your power to oppress others. It will not do you any good. Besides, if His Majesty knows about it..."
Song Liaoye chuckled, then laughed out loud.
It was like hearing something funny.
Shen Fanli looked at Song Liaoye's appearance, trying to recall whether he had said anything funny, and then found that he hadn't.
In other words, His Royal Highness Prince Qi did not listen to what she was saying.
Shen Fanli was a little unhappy. Every time she mentioned these topics, she was always given a perfunctory answer or the subject was changed.
She was about to speak, but Song Liaoye spoke first, "Shen Fanli, you are worried about me, right? You ran out of the city today because you were worried about me, and you were worried about me just now as well."
Song Liaoye has handsome features and a look of smug self-assurance.
The corners of his lips curved up as he looked down at Shen Fanli. The face that seemed rebellious to outsiders now looked more youthful.
However, he himself was only nineteen years old.
Shen Fanli was speechless for a moment. She was stunned for a moment and felt that His Royal Highness Prince Qi was still the same as before.
She was not very good at speaking, so she just stammered, "You are the prince, the master, and as a servant, I naturally have to worry about your safety."
When Song Liaoye heard this, the smile on his face faded.
He stared at Shen Fanli for a few seconds.
"Shen Fanli, what did you just say!"
Song Liaoye narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Who allowed you to call yourself a slave!"
"Don't you always like to control me? You keep saying that I am the master and you are the servant, but which servant dares to control the master? Huh? Shen Fanli, tell me!"
Song Liaoye was a little angry at this time, not only because of Shen Fanli's address, but also because of the dangerous situation he encountered during the day.
But he didn't want to tell her directly about the consequences, for fear that it would scare her and cause her to have nightmares.
After hearing this, Shen Fanli's face turned pale and his hands were clenched tightly.
She couldn't say anything.
Because in her heart, she always felt that she was not a maid.
But the nanny's teachings and everything in the outside world told her that she, Shen Fanli, was just a maid and not a young lady at all.
Most of the time, she would not refer to herself as a servant, but would just say her name or "I" or "you".
Song Liaoye also didn't like hearing her say that she was a maid.
Shen Fanli couldn't explain the situation, yet felt very conflicted.
But over time, she rarely used words like "slave".
What I just said was indeed without thinking. I don't know how I said it, and it made His Royal Highness Prince Qi unhappy.
Shen Fanli lowered his head, his hands tightly grasping his sleeves, "I just said something wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Song Liaoye looked at Shen Fanli who bowed his head to admit his mistake. His anger had subsided, but he was still a little dissatisfied because Shen Fanli did not look up at him. "Forget it, I won't punish you this time. There won't be a next time."
"Did you hear that?"
Shen Fanli nodded.
"say something!"
Shen Fanli had no choice but to say, "I heard it."
Only then did Song Liaoye nod with satisfaction.
