After being in the Red Luan Palace for so long, he had already known about the feud between Duan Yunfei and Duan Yunfei. Back then, when Duan Liusu bribed him to deal with Duan Yunfei, wasn't she only pretending to help him save her father?
If it wasn't for the fact that Master Duan Yunfei had a lot of people and after knowing about all of her wrongdoings, not only would she have forgiven her, she would have even sent her silver and even used her as a gift. Xiao Ya couldn't imagine what she would look like now.
Therefore, Xiao Ya had to be extra careful when it came to Duan Yunfei. She had to ensure that no one else had the chance to harm Duan Yunfei.
Not to mention that Xiao Ya had never met Xiao Gui in the palace, his words were full of holes even to Xiao Ya.
"You said that you are someone close to His Majesty, but why have I never seen you before? You kept saying that it was His Majesty himself who had sent you to invite the Thirteenth Princess over, why are you not going in instead of standing at the door of the Red Luan Palace? I see that you're sneaking around. Say, do you have any other intentions? " Xiao Ya's overbearing attitude was similar to Duan Yunfei's. As expected, she had followed Duan Yunfei for a long time, even the way Duan Yunfei normally acted when she was unhappy with her, Xiao Ya had learnt a little to resemble him.
It was just that Xiao Ya had always been in the Red Luan Palace, and had not shown her appearance in front of others. If it wasn't for the sudden turn of events, Xiao Ya wouldn't have noticed that she would have actually learnt Duan Yunfei's scolding appearance. Xiao Ya felt like laughing as she thought about this, but Xiao Gui Zi was still here, so she had to hold it in.
Xiao Gui Zi did not think that he would meet such a rational and unforgiving palace maid. He had clearly said that Yuwen Di sent him here to invite the Thirteenth Princess, so why did this palace maid in front of him say that he was plotting against her? Moreover, he was just standing at the entrance of the Red Luan Palace and did not go in.
"This sister, this servant was really sent by His Majesty to invite the Thirteenth Princess. Your Majesty was just getting anxious. Elder sister, please don't make it difficult for this servant. If you delay it, this servant will not be able to take responsibility. "
Hearing that Yuwen Di anxiously wanted to see Duan Yunfei, Xiao Ya hesitated a little, if the eunuch in front of his was really sent by Yuwen Di to invite Duan Yunfei, and if the two of them were to become entangled, causing Yuwen Di to become angry, then not only would the little eunuch be punished, she would also be implicated. But what if he was a spy?
"You've always said that you're sent by His Majesty. Do you have any evidence to prove your identity?"
He had just entered the palace and he had only spoken with Yuwen Di today. How could there be anything that could prove his identity?
Just as Xiao Gui was in a difficult situation, Xiao Yang came out from Red Luan Palace.
Earlier, Duan Yunfei sent Xiao Ya to the imperial kitchens to retrieve the pastries. According to Xiao Ya's speed, she should have already returned by now, but Xiao Yang had not seen Xiao Ya return for a long time. Just as he was about to go out and take a look, he was attracted by the ruckus at the entrance of the Red Luan Palace.
"What are you guys talking about in the middle of the night?" Before Xiao Yang even reached the entrance of the Red Luan Palace, he heard Xiao Ya's voice coming from within. Xiao Ya, the princess has sent you to the royal kitchen to get some pastries. Why are you arguing with someone at the entrance of Red Luan Palace? "
Xiao Gui thought that someone would finally come to his rescue. He could only hope that this palace maid would not be so unreasonable as this palace maid before him.
Xiao Ya was just worrying about what to do, but luckily Xiao Yang had come out, so she got a move from Xiao Yang. However, it was only at this moment that Xiao Ya remembered the pastries in her hands. The weather was already cool, and coupled with the time she spent at the door with this eunuch, the pastries might even be cold. At this time, Xiao Ya made another mental note for Xiao Gui Zi.
"Sister Xiao Yang, you came at the right time. When I just came back from the royal kitchen, I saw this eunuch sneaking around the Red Luan Palace entrance from afar. I saw something was wrong with him, so I asked him a question. He claimed that His Majesty had sent him to invite the princess, but he could not prove it. Sister Xiao Yang, what do you think we should do about this? "
Ever since Xiao Yang found out about the matter with the pepper house, Xiao Ya had been especially concerned about Duan Yunfei, afraid that Duan Liusu or the other people in the palace would harm Duan Yunfei. It was a good thing Xiao Ya was so meticulous. However, it seemed like he was making a big fuss out of nothing.
Xiao Gui hurriedly said when he saw that Xiao Ya was the first to complain, ignoring the advice given by Eunuch Li. "Elder sister, don't misunderstand. This servant was really sent by His Majesty to invite the Thirteenth Princess. His Majesty was currently having dinner and wanted the Thirteenth Princess to have a meal together. "If I am delayed …"
"You mean I won't let you invite a princess?" Xiao Ya was unhappy now, wasn't Xiao Gui Zi's words complaining to Xiao Yang and trying to push the blame onto her?
Xiao Yang heard the two in front of him arguing and felt his head spinning.
"Alright, alright. Stop fighting. Let's talk inside." Since Xiao Gui Zi said that Yuwen Di had sent him to invite Duan Yunfei, then no matter if this matter was real or fake, he should leave it to Duan Yunfei to decide. Letting him see Duan Yunfei once on his left and right did not affect Duan Yunfei much.
"You, ah, I don't know how to consider it. If the pastries get cold, I want to see how you're going to explain it to the princess." Duan Yunfei would naturally not blame Xiao Ya for such a small matter. He had merely wanted to remind Xiao Ya not to argue with others the next time, so if this news were to spread to a good person's ears, it would probably become a good reason to make use of her.
Xiao Ya pouted as she thought in her heart, "Isn't it because of him as well?"
Xiao Gui followed Xiao Yang into the Red Luan Palace. He did not dare to directly size up the furnishings inside the Red Luan Palace and could only take a few glances out of the corner of his eyes. Although the arrangement of the Red Luan Palace s could not be considered magnificent, it had its own unique style, different from the other palaces. It was as if every piece of furniture had been meticulously chosen by the master, and the positions of every piece of furniture had been carefully considered. Moreover, it didn't look like the sleeping quarters of a princess.
All along the way, Xiao Ya's eyes were filled with distrust towards Xiao Gui, causing her to feel wronged.
Xiao Yang seemed to have also noticed the movements of the two people behind him. He turned around and saw Xiao Ya looking at Xiao Gui Zi. Xiao Yang had not told Xiao Ya about this matter because she was making a big fuss out of nothing, but if he were to say it in front of outsiders, it would probably cause Xiao Ya to lose face.
Xiao Ya felt that it was boring and decided to focus all her attention on the pastries in her hands. Nothing was clear.
