Chapter 9: Swallowtail Dart
The women let go of their hands. Lin Yaxi quickly took out the rag stuffed into her mouth. She didn't know what it was for. The unpleasant smell made her almost vomit on the spot. She couldn't stop coughing, and mist was also bleak in her eyes.
Did this man save himself? He called himself this king, so he should be His Highness King Jin.
Lin Yaxi raised her head and met her eyes that were as sharp as an eagle.
Song Chuxuan stood tall on the steps and looked down on her. The man was eight feet tall, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and his figure was surprisingly perfect, and compared with the modern top male models, he was no less inferior.
This should be the legendary leg length and aura of five meters!
He was wearing a dark green brocade robe embroidered with silver silk cloud patterns, with a black wide-edged spider pattern belt on his waist, and a flawless jade pendant fell. His long black hair was tied up with a gilded crown, revealing his handsome and uninviting face below.
Unlike Gong Chenxue, Song Chuxuan has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes are deep and dark, covering it under the tough and cold eyebrows. His nose bridge is high and straight, and his thin lips seem to be smiling but not smiling.
It is noble and domineering, unparalleled!
Everyone knelt down and greeted each other. "See the prince!"
Song Chuxuan nodded slightly and signaled everyone to get up. "Lin Yaxi stay, everyone else can go down."
"Yes, Prince Xie."
Sun Mingyue followed everyone at the end, feeling very puzzled. Does King Jin know Lin Yaxi? Otherwise, how could he be exempted from her assassination?
Lin Yaxi is so lucky! It’s fine to be favored by the servants and guards on weekdays, but why even the noble Prince Jin protects her? Sun Mingyue was very dissatisfied and wanted to secretly eavesdrop on the next conversation.
Nighthawk saw her little thoughts and shouted, "Don't you get out of here! Do you dare to disobey the prince's order?"
The group of people immediately scattered birds and beasts.
Song Chuxuan held his hands behind his back, staring at Lin Yaxi without any moment, and walked down the steps.
"Is this yours?"
Lin Yaxi was confused. In fact, she had heard the sound just now, but before she could see clearly what it was, she was picked up and taken away by Nighthawk. Now seeing Song Chuxuan taking the thing in front of her, Lin Yaxi was speechless for a moment.
She didn't even know what this thing was called, so how could it be hers?
"No." Lin Yaxi answered honestly.
I just questioned that she was lying and was about to be killed by a stick. This time she was right to tell the truth.
"Hmph." Song Chuxuan made a sound from his nose, and then he sneered, "It's not yours, how could it fall from you?"
The man took the swallowtail dart closer. The posture seemed to be using this dart the next second and digging out Lin Yaxi's two eye beads.
Lin Yaxi didn't move, just looked back at him calmly.
"Did the prince see it fall from the slave with his own eyes? If you remember correctly, the prince is just behind the screen in the house."
"Rareless! You, a maid, dare you question the prince?" Ye Ying shouted sternly from the side.
"How dare I? I just believe that there is still a king's law in Tianyuan Kingdom. Besides, the prince is wise, so he will not punish me if he doesn't distinguish right from wrong. It's not my thing, so I can't admit it."
Lin Yaxi was also angry. She was called to ask questions for a long time, but if she had disagreements, she would be killed. Now she would have to say that the swallowtail dart was hers. It would be better to think that she was easy to bully!
Song Chuxuan stared at the little woman who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him. Lin Yaxi raised her head high, her eyes were pure, and she could not see any fear when facing the man's eyes as deep as an ancient pond.
Song Chuxuan thought to himself that this woman was a little brave. He recognized the Golden Qilin on the swallowtail dart as the Iron Blood Secret Guard logo secretly cultivated by the Emperor of Dongzhao. This assassination organization is extremely bloodthirsty and is the most powerful dark armed force of Emperor Dongzhao.
Could Lin Yaxi be the detailed work of the King of Jin’s Mansion as the emperor’s brother?
If it were her, then it would make sense that she was so calm and stubborn that she refused to accept it. Since that was the case, he might as well use his plan to find out what her purpose was to come to the Jin Palace.
What he had to do was to set up a long line and catch a big fish. If he was shocked at this time, once the clue was broken, the conspiracy of the person behind her would be no longer known.
Thinking of this, in the strange atmosphere of the two of them stalemate, Song Chuxuan was about to speak, but heard a light cough coming from the gate of the courtyard.
Lin Yaxi turned her back to the courtyard gate, and saw a rare smile on the man's cold face. She could see that the smile came from the heart.
The people behind him got closer and closer, and finally stood beside Lin Yaxi in the yard.
"His Royal Highness, long time no see."
It turned out to be Gong Chenxue!
"I heard from the flower housekeeper that the prince is back. I'm here to invite the prince to enjoy the flowers and drink."
"Brother Gong, why do you and me need these false rituals?"
Gong Chenxue looked sideways, as if she had just seen Lin Yaxi at this time, and she showed a little surprise. "Prince, is this?"
"Nothing. Huai Xiu knows this maid?" Huai Xiu is Gong Chenxue's face.
Thinking of Chunmei's previous words, Lin Yaxi secretly thanked. God is not too heartless to her! Gong Chenxue should be able to speak for her and let the prince calm down?
Gong Chenxue looked at Lin Yaxi carefully, and even walked around her strangely for half a circle.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yaxi quickly made a lip of "peach, peach". He was so naughty that he would not be able to play any tricks, would he not save him when he was dead?
This time it was not a trivial matter, it was about her life!
Looking at the silent communication between the two, Song Chuxuan was unhappy.
Gong Chenxue thought something and thought hard for a long time before he faintly spit out three words. "I don't know."
Don't know me! Lin Yaxi is struck by lightning and is desperate. She shouldn't have any expectation for Gong Chenxue. Wasn't it enough to be teased by him before? God is going to kill me. If she really can't get out today, Ting Yuxuan, she will admit it.
But! Before she dies, she must find a way to bring Gong Chenxue with her!
"Xiaogonggong, how can you be fed up with the old and throw it away after using it? Have you forgotten that you have eaten other people's peaches before?" Lin Yaxi said shyly.
Xiaogong Palace? Who is Xiaogong Palace?
Gong Chenxue's mouth twitched. Why does this name sound so strange? Are you sure it's not a little eunuch in the palace?
Song Chuxuan was reluctant to laugh. Unexpectedly, Gong Chenxue would have a day of speechlessness. But what happened to eating peaches?
He couldn't help but glared at Lin Yaxi, his face faintly red, not sure if it was angry or something.
Looking at the expressions of these two people, Lin Yaxi was secretly happy. There is a chance to save her life! So she pursued her again. "Little Guardian, you talk~"
"Stop! I remember. Are you the new inferior maid from Qingzhuyuan? What's your name? Lin, Lin, Lin Yaxi? You have to explain clearly, what have you eaten your peaches, you have eaten the peaches you gave!"
Gong Chenxue deliberately aggravated the word "send" for fear that others would misunderstand it again.
Haha, man, just keep pretending! Lin Yaxi thought to herself. She was so stubborn before, but now she is willing to admit it.
Song Chuxuan seemed to say casually. "Since Huai Xiu recognizes it, he must not be a suspicious person. Today's incident should be a misunderstanding. In order to suppress your shock, I will come to my study to work in the future."
Study room? Lin Yaxi looked confused.
With the nature of King Jin, it is rare to let Lin Yaxi go. What is the intention of staying close to him? Gong Chenxue was also surprised for a moment, and then reminded her.
"Why don't you thank the prince? From now on, you will be the first-class maid who serves Bimo in the prince's study."
This plot is reversed too quickly like a tornado? Lin Yaxi said that she can't keep up with the pace of the two people jumping.
It seems that the King of Jin is not as sinister as the rumored one. Not only did he escape the disaster, he was even promoted in disguise!
"Thank you, Prince! You are a great man!"
Lin Yaxi was a little excited and a little unspeakable to escape the hardships of being a coolie.
The Nighthawk is messy in the wind. Is the prince a good person? Will the little girl be too stupid and too naive?
Song Chuxuan ignored the excited Lin Yaxi, turned around and said to Gong Chenxue, "The King of Japan has just returned home, and there are still many chores to deal with. You and I will discuss it another day, how about it?"
Gong Chenxue is naturally fine. "The prince is busy with important matters. He is in the same mansion and will have a long time to talk about it."
After watching Lin Yaxi and Gong Chenxue leave, Song Chuxuan turned his head and ordered lowly. "Nighthawk, go check the origin of Lin Yaxi. Also, how did she know Huai Xiu."
