The maid pulled Yudong's sleeve, looking quite affectionately at her, and glanced to the side: "Sister Yudong, can you please have a word with me?"
"Is there anything I can't hear?" Tong Yuzhen smiled and said softly.
"Miss, I want to ask Sister Yudong about His Majesty the King of England." The maid said with a smile.
Hearing her say this, Tong Yuzhen blushed, "What's so good about asking this?"
"Please ask for the young lady so that she won't always ask me." The maid teased.
"Nonsense, I never asked these questions." Tong Yuzhen's face turned red as blood, and she glared at the maid fiercely. She looked helpless and it seemed like she was being pouty. It was obvious that she lacked the momentum and felt guilty.
"Miss, isn't it okay for me to ask what I want to ask myself?" The maid smiled and stopped Yudong to move to the side. Tong Yuzhen blushed but did not stop her.
"Sister Yudong, when can your master come to see our young lady?" After standing aside, the maid turned around and looked back. Seeing that her young lady was blushing and lowering her head, she lowered her voice and asked.
"What's wrong?" Yu Dong also replied in a low voice.
"Our young lady is in poor health and is overly worried. She always thinks about your master. If your master doesn't come to see the young lady, I'm afraid the young lady's illness will not get better." The maid's eyes reddened.
"This... wasn't it fine before?" Yu Dong asked in surprise.
"It wasn't that good before... I just kept suppressing it, so the lady's health got worse and worse. This time... This time it's also my fault. I wanted to help the lady meet your master, but I didn't expect that it would make the lady more worried... There was no hope originally, but now there is hope, but this hope is... of little use in the end."
The maid leaned sideways and wiped her tears. It looked like she didn't want her mistress to notice her. She tried hard to suppress her sadness, fearing that she would be discovered.
Originally there was no hope, but now there is hope and concern. It seems much better than before, but if there is still nothing in the end, the situation will be worse than before.
The maid looked at Yudong pleadingly: "Sister Yudong, could you please say a few good words for our young lady and let her... meet your master? I know that the prince cares about our young lady and is concerned about her. Now may not be the best time to meet her, but... but our young lady will die if she waits hopelessly like this."
"She'll die!"
The last sentence was so painful that tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Please stop talking like that. It makes me sad." Yu Dong wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. He has been playing the maid for a while now and is now very familiar with it. Whatever he should do at this moment is very natural.
Although I felt very disdainful in my heart.
This Miss Tong looks extremely innocent, as if she would fall down at the slightest gust of wind. However, she has been fine for so many years, and you can tell there is someone extraordinary behind her.
As a weak woman, how could she escape after her entire family was executed if she had no background
Of course, the prince deliberately indulged her, but if no one helped her, she would not have been able to survive until now. What's more, she actually entered the capital quietly at this time and lived well under the emperor's nose.

In this
He was so active at that time and even sent people to the British palace. It was something that not everyone could do.
The eldest daughter of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, whose family had been confiscated and who had fallen into poverty, was more capable than the Crown Princess. Even with the Crown Princess's ability, it would be difficult for her to place people in the Prince of England's palace.
Not to mention that the British princess is as impregnable as an iron barrel, it is really not easy to place people there. Some of the servants in the mansion are specially arranged by the prince. If there is anything wrong with the servants in the mansion, they will be taken away immediately. Whether they can stay at that time will depend on whether they are spies.
The British palace swept out wave after wave of spies, but an outsider, Miss Tong, accidentally sent someone to sneak in.
"I... I'm just a maid." Yu Dong wiped her tears and said helplessly, "On weekdays, I wait outside for orders. I can only act when the master gives orders."
"You can't even see your master?" the maid said in shock. She really thought Yudong was the King of England's personal maid, or even a maid who served in the King's room.
"It's either that I can't see her, or... I'm just an ordinary maid, not as good as the other sisters in the mansion." Yu Dong shook her hand and continued.
The maid understood what he meant immediately. She was either a maid who shared the same room with him or just a personal maid.
This is better, so as to avoid any hostility towards your own lady.
"Sister Yudong, you are still an ordinary maid, but I am just a rough maid. Before, I thought... you were your master..."
Yu Dong lowered her head shyly, cursing in her heart but not showing it on her face: "The master has better sisters around him, so it's not my turn."
Yuchun and Yuxiu are both good maids, and I am a good eunuch.
I had to pretend to be a maid. If it weren't for Miss Tong who suddenly appeared, why would I need to pretend to be a maid again
"Sister Yudong is so kind, can't your mistress see it?" The maid looked surprised, as if she had seen something incredible, then she took a deep breath and promised solemnly: "Sister Yudong, don't worry, if our young lady has a chance to succeed in the future, she will never let Sister Yudong down, and will make Sister Yudong's wishes come true."
This is a statement on behalf of his master. If Miss Tong ever enters the Prince of England's palace, Yudong's status will definitely be improved. Being a maidservant is the easiest thing for her.
The maid understood the meaning of the hint, and Yudong also understood it.
Hearing her say this, Yu Dong hurriedly shook her hand: "No need... No need, I'm just a maid, I can't compare with those sisters, and I don't have any ambitions."
Seeing her refusal, the maid said sternly, "Sister Yudong is wrong to think so. We are slaves and maidservants and we will serve our masters all our lives, even if it means going through fire and water. But our children are different. Could it be that Sister Yudong hopes that our children will also be slaves and maidservants? And serve others all their lives from now on?"
"We can not consider ourselves and be wholeheartedly for the master, but we cannot not consider our future children. As mothers, we have to worry and work hard for our children's future. If possible, who doesn't want their children to be the masters and the superiors?"
“But…” After hearing what she said, Yu Dong’s expression became hesitant.
"Okay, there are not so many buts. Sister Yudong just needs to remember that the day our young lady enters the palace
, is the day when Sister Yudong becomes a superior person." The maid reached out and took out something from her bosom and put it into Yudong's hand. Her expression became gloomy again, "Besides... if Sister Yudong really helps our young lady, it would be a life-saving favor to our young lady."
The favor of saving my life sounds like a huge favor, and I must repay it with gratitude.
It was both persuasion and assurance, and the gratitude was expressed repeatedly afterwards. Any maid would be tempted when encountering such a situation. Even if they had no idea before, they would think it was worth considering now. Moreover, the risk was not great, but the profit afterwards could be a lot. All they had to do was say a few good words for Miss Tong at the appropriate time.
Yudong felt fortunate that she was a eunuch, not a maid.
He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the maid in front of him. It was said that this maid was Miss Tong's personal maid, the maid who escaped with her, and the maid who had the courage and knowledge to go to the Prince of Ying's Mansion. Now, this maid was just an ordinary loyal maid who only wanted to protect her master.
The brave and knowledgeable maid is named Rui Huang. Before, Yu Dong cared about Miss Tong, but now he feels that this maid named Rui Huang is actually not simple.
“But… but…” Although Yu Dong hadn’t agreed directly yet, he looked no longer as determined as before.
"Sister Yudong, our young lady has the best heart and is the most grateful, otherwise your master wouldn't have treated our young lady like this. Now, the young lady just wants to see your master, and she doesn't want to and dares not think too much about other things. But I am the young lady's maid, and I have followed the young lady all the way here. I have seen the young lady's health become like this for your master, but I still... I still can't forget..."
The maid started wiping her tears again and couldn't speak for a while.
Seeing her like this, Yu Dong sighed heavily and agreed: "Okay, if there is a chance, I will speak for your lady, but don't expect too much, especially... recently."
"What happened recently?" Rui Huang wiped her tears. After the surprise, she was surprised and frightened. "Could it be... Could it be... your princess found out about the young lady... and wants to... kill her? What... what should I do?"
"No, it's not about this. Didn't you hear what people say outside?" Yu Dong shook his hand hurriedly.
"What's going on outside?" Rui Huang asked, "Our young lady is sick, and I'm here to take care of her. There's only one old woman outside, and she's a quiet woman. I don't know what's going on outside. Does it have anything to do with Prince Ying's Palace?" Rui Huang's face was full of confusion, and she looked as if she really didn't know anything.
Yudong sneered in his heart.
"It has something to do with our house. It's... it's about our princess." Yu Dong looked around cautiously, as if afraid that someone would suddenly jump out.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense. I'm just worried about whether it will affect our young lady." Rui Huang assured, "If your princess knew that your master had a crush on our young lady, she would definitely want her young lady's life."
In just a short while, he had quietly moved Miss Tong's position in the King of England's heart.
Yu Dong felt that this maid should be slapped in the face. She didn't even look at what kind of person their mistress was, and she even wanted to put her in her master's heart. How shameless she was...
