She sneakily walked out from a corner and followed closely behind Xie Qingrong.
Xie Qingrong had already discovered that there was a small tail behind him, and she quietly walked toward the corner of the Imperial Palace. That person actually didn't have any suspicions of him, and just followed Xie Qingrong into the corner.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached a corner, Xie Qingrong's figure had already disappeared. She was secretly anxious, and looking at her surroundings which was still devoid of life, she knew that she had lost someone.
But she couldn't remember the way back. The sky was dark, so she couldn't tell which path was the right one.
Just as he was hesitating and hesitating, Xie Qingrong suddenly appeared by her side.
The lady was so frightened by Xie Qingrong's figure that she dropped to the ground. Her pretty face was pale as she bit her lips and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
Xie Qingrong's back figure appeared in front of the woman, so she did not recognize that the person was the Xie Qingrong she had been following just a moment ago.
She laughed to herself, thinking that this woman was as timid as a mouse, and actually wanted to follow her.
When she turned around, the lady saw that it was Princess Consort Chen, and was alarmed and confused. However, she still maintained a respectful look on her face, greeting the Princess Consort Chen.
"maidservant pays her respects to Princess Consort Chen." The voice was soft and sticky, like a glutinous rice ball.
Xie Qingrong looked at the girl in front of him, and naturally did not miss the calculations that flashed past her eyes. With her arms crossed, he said coldly: "You are not in the great hall, why have you come to such a remote place?"
The lady was shocked by Xie Qingrong's tone, she calmed her mind and explained in a low voice: "The hall is too hot and stuffy, when maidservant comes out she doesn't want to get lost, does Princess Consort Chen know the way?"
Xie Qingrong did not reply, but instead looked at the woman with his deep eyes. The woman lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the flowing light in her eyes. Her demeanor was extremely respectful, and her slightly drooping head seemed very gentle.
It was like a little white rabbit that had wandered into a palace because it was lost.
Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrows, her fingers gently caressing her arm. She felt disdain for the woman's words just now.
However, he did not reveal it on the surface. After staring for a long while, he withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Since young lady is lost, then this I coincidentally has to go into the hall.
She wanted to see what this woman was going to do next.
When the woman heard Xie Qingrong's words, she suddenly raised her eyes. A dark light flashed in her eyes but it was concealed by a faint sense of pleasant surprise.
"Yes." Xie Qingrong replied indifferently, she stroked her sleeves and placed his hands together, respectfully placing them on her lower abdomen, and continued to walk forward.
The woman followed behind Xie Qingrong, and looked at her fluid movements, and a sense of admiration rose in her heart.
She had never seen a girl who could do this kind of action as she pleased, but at the same time, she had never seen it so refined.
Only, when he saw Xie Qingrong walking forward without the slightest of wariness, he himself followed behind with small and slow steps.
The sky had already darkened, and layers of darkness fell down. There were only a few bits of starlight left in the night sky, and the crescent moon hung in the sky, emitting a bit of moonlight.
Although Xie Qingrong walked slowly, looking straight ahead, but her intertwined hands were tightly clenched, the muscles on her wrists were tensed, and she was always on guard against the lady behind him.
After walking past the imperial flower garden and passing the Supreme Pond Lake, the woman behind her looked at Xie Qingrong's continuous advance, and suddenly had a plan in her mind.
She pretended not to notice as she stretched out her right leg and slid to the side. Her delicate palm supported herself on a willow tree by the side of the Supreme Pond as she exclaimed, "Ah!"
From the moment the woman made her first move, Xie Qingrong had already noticed her. Before she even let out a cry of surprise, Xie Qingrong had already stopped her steps and turned slightly, watching her acting herself out.
The woman saw that her movements had attracted Xie Qingrong's attention, and while it was still dark, one of her hands was firmly holding onto the willow tree's trunk, while the other leg was gradually moving towards the pond, as though she was about to fall into the water.
Her pretty face was filled with panic as she kept shouting, "Princess, save me!"
The woman did not expect that the shore around the edge of the pool would be covered with slippery moss. The edge of the pool, which was already slippery, would be in danger of falling off upon stepping on it. The moss was dark green, and it was impossible to see clearly under the cover of the night.
He had only been supporting himself on the branches, but now he was supporting himself as he was about to slide down. The panic in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
The woman only felt the energy in her body gradually dissipating, but Xie Qingrong, who was on the shore, still looked at her without moving. Her eyes were calm, as if all of her actions were just a clown's, and fear and powerlessness rose in her heart.
In the nick of time, the woman's entire body was thrown backwards. Her eyes were tightly shut, her eyelashes were trembling wildly, and she thought she was going to fall into the ice-cold, bone-piercing pool of too much liquid.
Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly appeared from her waist, supporting her, it slightly rotated, bringing her to a safe place.
As her feet stepped on the even ground, the woman slightly opened her eyes and saw the impeccable appearance of Xie Qingrong. Under the moonlight, the fur on her face could clearly be seen, and an additional layer of silver radiance could be seen on her fair and flawless face.
The woman stared in shock.
In the next moment, Xie Qingrong retracted her arm that was wrapped around the woman's waist, and berated coldly: "Just now, I repeatedly reminded you to never follow I, and not take a detour. If there's a next time, I will not save you a second time. "
The woman was so shocked by Xie Qingrong that she regained her senses. She heard her ice-cold, bone-piercing words clearly, but she felt a warm feeling slowly rise in her heart.
Although the Princess Consort Chen's words were cold and piercing, her actions were extremely heartwarming.
She did not seem to care about the ostracism and injuries inflicted on her by the daughters of the noble families and officials behind her back. Her back was always straight, no wonder the Prince Chen liked her so much.
He originally thought that he would be able to pull Xie Qingrong along with him into the lake in a panic. When the time came, he would have a go at it.
But she absolutely did not expect that the Princess Consort Chen she had wanted to frame would actually save her. If her instincts were not wrong, this Princess Consort Chen seemed to have an extremely high level of martial arts.
She had always admired those experts in martial arts. When she saw Xie Qingrong's dark eyes, she finally remembered where she was and knelt down on her knees, "Thank you, esteemed wangfei, for saving my life."
