Chapter 40
The person in front of Shen Yuexi was the man in purple who killed four bandits in the col.

He had now changed from his purple robes to soft casual clothes.But that kind of handsome and dangerous temperament still made Shen Yuexi recognize him immediately.

The man looked at her, frowned slightly, and said slowly:
"This is Mrs. Pei who can make magic medicine?"

Lin Kui, who was beside Shen Yuexi, bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, it is this person who entrusted Dr. Hua to sell the medicine at the pharmacy. The villain found that the medicine was very effective, so he made the decision and bought it for the master. .”

Shen Yuexi's heart skipped a beat.Lin Kui called His Royal Highness, which means that he is the son of a certain prince.

She searched in her mind, and finally remembered the identity of this person.

King Qi's son, Xiao Beiheng.

Although this son of King Qi is talented, he is already well-known outside, and his martial arts are superb, he can compete with Xiao Zhuo.It is said to be an extremely difficult opponent.However, the original owner has been kept in the Duke's mansion, and he only knows it from rumors.

Since the son of King Qi didn't mention the bandits, naturally she wouldn't be out of date.Stepping forward, he saluted Xiao Beiheng: "The little girl has met His Royal Highness."

The voice is clear and lingling, like a clear spring from a mountain stream, flowing warmly in the room.

Xiao Beiheng was taken aback for a moment, then squinted at the Mili that Shen Yuexi was wearing.

The white fence swayed slightly as Shen Yuexi saluted.When the maid serving tea beside her passed by, she brought a little bit of wind and lifted a corner of the fence.

The delicate and beautiful face under the fence, with beautiful eyes, is like a bright moon.Those clear eyes were like water with a slight smile.

After Shen Yuexi saluted, she raised a pair of pale hands and took off the fence.

The maid put down a cup of tea on the table next to her, and quietly retreated out.

Xiao Beiheng stared at Shen Yuexi for a moment, then nodded slightly to signal her to sit down.Turning to Lin Kui, he said:

"Stand back, I have something to say to Mrs. Pei."

Shen Yuexi sat on a chair and watched Lin Kui leave.Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of the tea, he put it back on the table.

At the beginning, she didn't know that it was Prince Qi's son she was going to deal with.Judging from the information so far known, this is a difficult person to deal with.But the original owner did not have any contact with him.Nothing is known about his character.

Raising his eyes, he happened to meet Xiao Beiheng's gaze.There seemed to be a deep look at her in the depths of those eyes with a gentle smile.

That gaze seemed to be looking at an item that was up for grabs.

A trace of displeasure arose in Shen Yuexi's heart.She didn't like this look, she just wanted to get the money and leave quickly.

Especially thinking of Xiao Zhuo and her current situation, she became more wary of this Prince Qi's son.

Putting down the teacup, Shen Yuexi stood up, and said to Xiao Beiheng who was sitting behind the table: "I don't know if there is anything the prince wants to talk to the little girl, please speak directly."

The meaning is very clear, if there is nothing wrong, quickly take out the silver.

Xiao Beiheng withdrew his sizing gaze, stretched out his hand to touch his chin and said:
"The matter of the prescription is just a trivial matter. I wonder if Mrs. Pei is willing to serve this son?"

Shen Yuexi was taken aback.

Xiao Beiheng said it politely, but Lin Kui wanted a prescription, and he wanted a person.Is this to recruit her as a talent?
But how is that possible, she and Xiao Zhuo are still cared about by the old emperor, how dare they have anything to do with the royal family, that's not asking for death.

She pretended not to understand him and looked down at her feet.

"When the little girl was reading, she would try to make some weird things when she saw some strange things. I didn't expect to make a kind of medicine by mistake. It was purely a mistake."

Xiao Beiheng leaned back on the chair behind him, played with the Moyu finger on his finger, put away his gentle smile, and spoke in a low voice.

"My son sees that Mrs. Pei is a talented person, so I asked this question. If you don't feel disgusted, you can go to the northwest with me and work for me in my mansion, how about it?"

Shen Yuexi thought to herself: Isn't that a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

"Thanks to the prince who thinks highly of it, it's just that the little girl doesn't have much ambition, and she doesn't like to be restrained. If the prince needs anything, you can ask someone to come to me."

If you deal with him casually, if you really come to find him, she and Xiao Zhuo will have already run away by then.

Xiao Beiheng was not angry because of her refusal, and continued: "In the palace, no one will care about you, and you are free to come and go. This son can give you and your husband 100 taels of salary every month."

Hearing this, Shen Yuexi's heart skipped a beat.

100 taels a month.If the person in front of her was not the son of Prince Qi, she would immediately agree to such a good condition.

But now she wished she could stay away from these royal family and nobles.

After all, as long as there is a relationship with the emperor, it will never get better.When the emperor issued an imperial decree, King Qi would have to hand over her and Xiao Zhuo.

But you can't offend him.Shen Yuexi's eyes turned sharply, pretending to be in a state of difficulty, hesitated for a while, and then said hesitatingly:
"This kind of thing can't be decided by a little girl. Everything in the family is decided by the husband."

If you can't handle things yourself, just push them to Xiao Zhuo and it's over.

Xiao Beiheng was a little surprised that she didn't get a drop of water in. He got up and said, "So that's it, it's because this son didn't think carefully, so someone came here."

A servant girl responded and said, "What is your order, His Royal Highness?"

"Go and get 500 taels of silver and give it to Mrs. Pei."

Now it was Shen Yuexi's turn to be surprised, she didn't expect Shizi to be so easy to talk to.If she refused, the other party readily gave the money.

The servants handled the affairs very neatly, and soon delivered five silver bills on a tray, each 100 taels, and sent them to Shen Yuexi.

"Madam Pei, please accept it."

It was the first time for Shen Yuexi to come into contact with bank notes when she came to this ancient time.

This thing is really good, light and thin, with a stack of five sheets, you can carry it in your bosom without panicking.

Satisfied, she put away the bank note, took out the prescription written in advance and said, "Your Highness, this is my prescription."

Xiao Beiheng didn't even look at it, just waved his hand, and the maid next to him took the prescription and returned it.

"Miss Pei must be tired from this trip, go down and rest first."

After Xiao Beiheng finished speaking, he raised his foot and walked towards the back room.

Shen Yuexi was in joy, she didn't hear his last sentence clearly, she thought Xiao Beiheng was saying goodbye to her.Then he also returned the gift:

"His Royal Highness, the little girl bid farewell."

She left the room and walked quickly to the exit of the yard.After walking a few steps, a cold maid blocked her way and pointed to a room at the end of the corridor.

"Miss Pei, please rest in this room."

Shen Yuexi said: "I'm not tired, I still have time to go home before dark."

The servant girl did not give an inch and blocked her way: "Miss Pei, this is an order from His Royal Highness, please rest in the room."

Shen Yuexi's smile froze on his face.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Beiheng returned the money to the money, but he didn't let her go.

Resist if you have the heart, this is someone else's territory, she is a weak woman, she can't jump up at all.He could only obediently enter the room.

The room is fully furnished.It can be seen that Xiao Beiheng didn't make things difficult for her, but he made it clear that he wanted to put her under house arrest.

She stood in the middle of the room, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The door behind him slammed shut.
