Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2287: Chapter 2287: Rescue

Xuexue yawned, looking like she hadn’t slept enough. She reached out to rub her eyes and asked, "Zi Xia, why are you up so early?"

Zi Xia: "Young lady, it’s not early anymore, it’s almost noon. The Prince instructed the maid to take good care of the young lady when he went out, so I dared not slack off and waited here for you to wake up."

Zi Xia was a fearless girl, except for Situ Yongjie, she was only afraid of Long Rui, and when she saw him, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, always following his words.

However, she wasn’t afraid of Xuexue at all.

Upon hearing this, Xuexue turned her head to look at the neatly folded quilt beside her, which didn’t seem like anyone had slept on it.

Zi Xia seemed to understand her thoughts and said, "Young lady, don’t look anymore, the maid has already folded the quilt."

"Did the Prince really come back last night?"

"Yes, he did! Young lady, don’t you know?"

Xuexue was a bit embarrassed and said, "I was sleeping too soundly, I didn’t know."

Zi Xia expressed helplessness: "Young lady, the servant really is amazed by you, with your husband sleeping beside you, as the wife, you didn’t even know, your heart is quite big."

Zi Xia was somewhat relieved in her heart, luckily the young lady returned to the Capital after coming of age, otherwise, with her exceptional beauty and scatterbrained personality, staying in the countryside would definitely be dangerous.

Xuexue stood up, stretching out her arms so Zi Xia could help her get dressed, while saying, "Last night I practiced martial arts for too long, I was tired and didn’t notice."

Zi Xia felt strange and said, "Young lady, the maid has been guarding outside, how come I didn’t see you go out to practice martial arts? The room is so small, surely you weren’t practicing inside, were you?"

The Princess Consort’s room was quite spacious, but not spacious enough to practice martial arts.

Xuexue accidentally let it slip that she did practice martial arts last night, however, it wasn’t in the room but in the space.

Xuexue had a flash of inspiration and immediately said, "I was practicing Inner Strength, so I don’t need a large space."

"Oh, so that’s it." Zi Xia nodded, looking as if she had just understood.

Xuexue then asked, "Where’s Long Yi?"

Zi Xia: "I don’t know, he seems to have gone out with the Prince."

Xuexue was perplexed, where exactly did Long Rui go? Even when asked, he wouldn’t say. Thinking about it, the recent major event in the Capital could only be the enchantment. Could it be that The Emperor gave Long Rui some difficult task again?

Thinking of this, Xuexue mysteriously beckoned Zi Xia over: "Zi Xia, come here."

"Eh! Okay!"

Having been master and servant for so long, they shared a tacit understanding, and Zi Xia immediately leaned her ear close to Xuexue.

Xuexue whispered in her ear for a while. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Mm! Alright!" Zi Xia nodded while listening.

Finally, she straightened up: "Young lady, don’t worry, the maid knows what to do!"

After getting dressed, Xuexue rubbed her stomach, which made a rumbling sound, clearly starving, she pitifully said, "Zi Xia, is breakfast ready? Your young lady is starving."

Zi Xia: "The maid’s prepared breakfast long ago, young lady, would you like to have it in your room or in the hall?"

Xuexue: "Too lazy to move, let’s have it in the room!"

Originally, Xiao Taohong had mentioned the way to lift the enchantment, but Long Rui had been so busy that he was barely seen, so resolving the enchantment on the common folk had been delayed.

Since the enchantment on the common folk couldn’t be lifted, Xuexue decided to first remove the Gu Insects from those ten or so Insect Persons, after all, for such small Little Kids, enduring the gnawing of the Gu Insects daily, and not just one, but tens of thousands of larvae, such suffering is unimaginable for those who haven’t experienced it.
