"It's the Night King's Mansion." Dongfang Ye glared at the steward, who quickly lowered his head. Dongfang Ye gently carried Xia Sizhu and got off his horse. The steward immediately stepped forward and took the reins.

"Night King's Mansion? What did you bring me here for? " Xia Sizhu asked the indifferent Dongfang Ye after waking up.

"To be more serious, you are now a fugitive. Do you think you still have a place to go before coming to the Night King's Mansion?" Dongfang Ye's words were reasonable.

"I can leave the South Tomb and live in seclusion." Xia Sizhu frowned. It wasn't as though she didn't have anywhere else to go. With her ability, she wouldn't die from hunger.

"Have you thought about Ling'er or Aunt Liu after you left?" You can take Ling'er along, but what about Aunt Liu? " Dongfang Ye had already expected that Xia Sizhu would say this, and he had already thought of a good reason to keep her here.

Looking at Xia Sizhu's furrowed brow, Dongfang Ye continued, "Even if you can handle all of this, you can't possibly live the life of a fugitive, can you?! You alone can do it, but do you think you can with your servant Ling'er? "

If she said that she was going to escape, Ling'er would definitely go with her. However, did she really have the heart to let Ling'er live and eat with her? Did she even need to guard against pursuers?

Alone, she was definitely not a problem, but if she brought Ling'er with her, she might not be able to take care of Ling'er. If that happened, Ling'er would be in danger.

"Let's go!" "Let's go in first and talk later." Looking at Xia Sizhu's silent expression, Dongfang Ye knew that she was hesitating.

"Yes." Xia Sizhu thought about it and decided not to evade. She decided to settle this matter.

"They look at me strangely." As soon as Xia Sizhu entered the palace, she was met with many small looks. She looked at the brightly lit servants and guards before turning her head to Dongfang Ye and saying, "Young Master Ye, what's going on?"

"What are you blaming for? What's weird about that? " When Dongfang Ye heard this, he glanced at the servants and guards. All of them instantly became expressionless, as if they didn't want anyone to come close.

"You see, this isn't normal." There was a hint of flattery in Dongfang Ye's words.

"Butler, take her down to wash up." Dong Fang Ye said to the butler who had just entered the house.

"Miss Xia, this way." The butler immediately stepped forward and gestured with his hands.

"Sorry for the trouble, Butler." In the prison, there was no water to bathe in. She felt somewhat uncomfortable from head to toe.

"Miss Xia, this is your clothes. Because there is no woman of the same age as you in the prince's mansion, you have no choice but to let your girl feel wronged. These are the clothes of this old servant's daughter. She married very early on, and this dress is new. When she got married, she forgot to take it with her, so I decided to keep it to myself. I didn't expect it to come in handy today. " The housekeeper led Xia Sizhu into a nearby hot spring and went out to retrieve a piece of clothing.

Even though the clothes were made of ordinary cloth, the workmanship was meticulous. With a single glance, one could tell that the person who made the clothes was very diligent.

"What's wrong with that? These clothes are pretty good." Xia Sizhu took the clothes and stroked them. From the way the clothes were made, one could tell that the person must be very attentive.

"It's good as long as you don't mind." The housekeeper said with a smile. This was the future consort. He had to serve her well and not let her suffer any grievances.

"You just said that there are no girls in the Duke Palaces of the same age as me? Even if Dongfang Ye has nothing better to do, can it be that there are no servants? " Xia Sizhu felt that since there weren't many women in the mansion, shouldn't a bunch of men come over to help them wash clothes and cook food?

"In the manor, other than a few slightly older envoys, there are indeed no girls of the same age as the young lady. Those envoys' clothes naturally cannot be worn by the young lady." The butler explained one by one. Seeing Xia Sizhu's understanding look, the butler continued.

"This old servant will be going down. Miss, please be at ease. This is the specially used bath for the prince, no one will barge in." After the butler finished speaking, he silently withdrew himself.

Prince's private bath?

Can she choose not to wash?

She didn't want to use the same bath as the one who always took advantage of her.

But thinking about how this ancient man, Dongfang Ye, didn't mind her using his private bath, she didn't mind at all. Xia Sizhu quickly untied her clothes and entered the hot spring.

"Hu!"

Taking a deep breath, Xia Sizhu sat down in the hot spring.

On the other side.

Hearing the butler's words, Dongfang Ye thought for a while and said, "Butler, after you get your wife to wash Miss Xia's clothes, send them to Pure Cloud Pavilion, find the best embroidery lady and use the best materials to make ten sets of clothes. Then, inform the Pure Jade Pavilion to make some jewelry and let them take their time, but do not worry about it.

Dongfang Ye said it all out in one breath.

Pure Cloud Pavilion, Pure Gold Pavilion, Pure Jade Pavilion, and Pure Jade Pavilion were named after the three sisters. Each of them was responsible for their area of expertise, making them the best embroidery workshop, jewelry store, and restaurant in the entire South Tomb.

These three stores were all from Dongfang Ye.

"Yes, this old servant will do it right away." The steward respectfully left after he finished speaking. His heart was filled with comfort. It seemed that the prince was really concerned about his wife. It seemed like the Prince's estate would soon have a new mistress.

After taking a bath, Xia Si Zhu walked out with a head full of wet hair.

Ye Xiao blinked as he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, then his gaze landed on a tree not too far away.

The hidden guard on the tree saw Xia Sizhu's gaze land on him and couldn't help but be puzzled. Could it be that he had been discovered?

Just as he was puzzled, Xia Sizhu spoke.

"The one on the tree, I'm looking for Dongfang Ye, do you know where he is?"

"The lady follows me!" Hearing this, the guard immediately jumped down from the tree and led Xia Sizhu to Dongfang Ye's study.

Along the way, the Dark Guard didn't even dare to glance at Xia Sizhu because she didn't wipe her hair and allowed the droplets of water to freely fall from her hair.

If the prince were to find out, he would definitely be punished.

"This is the prince's study room. This subordinate will leave first." After the guard finished speaking, he instantly disappeared.

Xia Sizhu pursed her lips. She wasn't some venomous snake or ferocious beast. Was it really necessary for her to run so fast?

Gently pushing the door open and then closing it, he raised his head and saw Dongfang Ye's pair of deep eyes.

Xia Sizhu appeared in front of Dongfang Ye with her dripping hair. His eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked down at Xia Sizhu, his eyes focused.

"Come here!" Dongfang Ye waved at Xia Sizhu, who rolled his eyes and walked over slowly.
