Lingxi felt nauseous in her heart, but she couldn't show her dislike to Chu Fengyi in front of her.
She tightly held the hands that were tucked into her sleeves, and her lips were pursed tightly, restraining herself to the extreme so as not to reveal her true emotions.
"Xi'er," Chu Fengyi stretched out her hand and held her wrist through Lingxi's clothes, "You have suffered so much outside these years, it's all the queen mother's fault. Hurry back to the queen mother, I will take care of you." Make it up to you."
The corner of Lingxi's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound calm, "Aunt Lan has taken good care of me these years, and I haven't suffered any grievances."
She said this sincerely, without any falsehood.
During these years in Misty Valley Forest, if it wasn't for Aunt Lan's care, where would she be now?
"Yeah, it's really thanks to Lan Xin these years," Chu Fengyi nodded, her eyes flickering, "It's just that she seems to have misunderstood me and left the palace quietly. You, go back and take Lan Xin over with me. She cannot be left alone outside, the imperial palace is her home."
Lingxi looked calm on the surface, but in fact, she knew in her heart that Chu Fengyi wanted to keep both of them in the palace, so that she could catch them all in one go.
But since she was ready to expose Chu Fengyi's true face, she would naturally not be afraid of any of her schemes.
This time Lingxi didn't evade any more excuses, but followed Chu Fengyi's words and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll go back right away and bring Aunt Lan back."
"That's right," Chu Fengyi was so happy that the corners of her mouth rose, "This is what a human being should do. Don't forget your roots. The kindness of a drop of water must be repaid by the spring."
Lingxi gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, and she exposed Chu Fengyi's hypocrisy on the spot.
But she is smart after all, so she held back, turned and walked out the door, "I'll go find Aunt Lan right away."
Chu Fengyi winked at the two personal guards behind her, "Follow and protect the princess."
Lingxi wanted to refuse subconsciously, but after thinking about it, since Chu Fengyi said so, she would definitely not give her another chance to refuse.
Since I can't refuse, I simply accept it silently, and then wait and see how it gets better.
Lingxi didn't make another sound, and walked out of Lingxi Palace quickly, followed by the queen's two most trusted guards.
As she walked, she thought about how to get rid of these two guards, but after thinking for a long time, she still had no good idea.
The two guards followed her all the time, keeping a close distance, their eyes fixed on Lingxi.
Lingxi, who was walking forward with her head buried, was only thinking about her thoughts, and as soon as she turned out of the gate of Lingxi Palace, she directly crashed into Dao's generous chest.
"Hmm." She subconsciously snorted, and took half a step back while clutching her sore nose.
"Lingxi, I knew you were going to throw yourself into my arms."
Above Lingxi's head, there was a voice that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. It was Curtis who was smiling proudly.
He assumed a flirtatious posture, and stretched out his hand to hug Lingxi, but Lingxi dodged in time.
"Are you sure you don't need my personal protection?" Curtis asked softly, with a smirk on his face.
Lingxi shook her head immediately, "Thank you, no need."
After finishing speaking, she quickly walked around Curtis, preparing to avoid him far away.
For Curtis, Lingxi has always been respectful.
She didn't like the way he looked at her, because it reminded her of a fawn in a hunter's trap.
Seeing that Lingxi was about to leave, Curtis immediately chased after her, "Lingxi, why are you walking so fast? Even if you are a princess now, don't ignore us ordinary people!"
Lingxi was walking, when he heard Curtis's words, he stopped and said seriously, "I've never thought about it that way, if you insist, I have no other good way!"
Seeing Lingxi biting her lip angrily, Curtis chuckled, "How can you be so cute? It's a foul! I just teased you on purpose, so don't explain it so seriously, okay?"
"Boring!" Lingxi said softly, reaching out and pushing Curtis who was close to her, "Get out of the way, don't block my way!"
"The road is open to the sky. Let's go on each side. Can't I walk side by side with you?" Curtis smiled rascally, always keeping only half a step away from Lingxi, looking like a follower.
Lingxi was very angry, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only speed up his pace and continue walking forward.
After all, no matter in terms of the thickness of her skin or her rogue nature, she is far away from Curtis by a long distance, and she is simply far behind.
"Lingxi, don't go so fast, wait for me!" Curtis didn't seem to see Lingxi's impatience at all. Little tail?"
Lingxi knew that he was asking about the two guards who were always behind him, so he sighed helplessly, "They are the queen's people, and they are ordered to protect my safety."
"Oh, I didn't expect the queen to be so thoughtful." Curtis couldn't help feeling emotional, "Speaking of which, Yuxi has been a fake princess for so many years, and she has never seen such preferential treatment."
Lingxi wanted to laugh a little. If Curtis knew the real intention of the queen's sending of these two guards, he might not think so.
Where did they come to protect her? He is clearly responsible for following and closely monitoring her every move!
She was about to roll her eyes at Curtis angrily, but when she turned her head, she met Curtis's eyes with unknown meaning.
Lingxi was stunned for a moment, could it be that even Curtis has already seen that the queen cares about her falsely?
She stared blankly at Curtis who was about to ask a question, but Curtis had already put his arms around her shoulders, "Lingxi, let's go, I'll take you to a good place!"
Lingxi was about to refuse, but Curtis lowered his voice and said, "If you want to get rid of the two tails behind you, follow me!"
After finishing speaking, Curtis quickened his pace, almost as if he was trotting with Lingxi.
Lingxi tried her best to speed up her pace, barely keeping up with Curtis's speed.
Just as she was about to catch her breath, Curtis had already led her out of the palace to the winding alley outside.
"Where are we going?" Lingxi's eyes became blank, and she was very unfamiliar with the environment in front of her.
She had never been to the alleys here before, and when she came in, she found that the layout inside was almost exactly the same.
If it is not a person who lives here all year round, it is estimated that it is easy to get lost.
"Of course I took you out of the maze, and then trapped those two mice!" Curtis made a pun, almost dragging Lingxi to run.
The two turned left and right into several alleys, turning so that Lingxi was dizzy, leaned against the wall and waved his hands weakly, "No, no, no, if I continue like this, I will definitely die!"
