Qinghuan winked at Huaye, and Huaye understood. The two of them took two steps back without saying a word. With Yuxiu around, they didn't dare to say anything more.
Yuxiu and Yuchun are both personal maids of Princess Ying. If it were in the past, she would have looked down on them, but now they are people in the palace, belonging to the Queen Mother, so even Princess Ying has to be polite to them when she sees them.
Now, they don’t dare.
During the time they were in the British palace, they clearly realized that even though they still had the title of maids bestowed by the Queen, now they were thrown into a corner of the British palace. They were just two maids, and the two lowest kind at that, left in a remote corner. If they did not have opportunities, they might even die there.
The two men who had suffered losses were no longer as impulsive as they were when they first arrived at the British palace.
For the next period of time, the two followed Yuxiu, following behind the old woman, listening to her nagging all the way. They looked like two ordinary maids. If they didn't look at each other from time to time, no one would notice that there was anything different between them.
The old woman led them to a place and pointed at it, saying, "There is one person standing here, slowly moving towards the middle. This is an edge."
As the old woman spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction deep in the bamboo forest. That was the center and they would meet there when the time came.
"Then I'll stay here for now!" Yuxiu was the leader. She looked into the distance and decided to stay.
Afterwards, the old woman took the rest of the maids away, and Yuchun was left alone.
Behind her was another maid.
"Mammy, isn't this bamboo forest very big? We have walked a long way all the way here. Is it possible that there are still a few bamboo shoots missing in such a big bamboo forest? Do we have to walk so far to find them?"
The last two maids left were Qinghuan and Huaye.
The two men followed the old woman, one on each side, and asked curiously. They couldn't help but slow down their pace. They had been walking all the way and were indeed tired now.
"It's not that big, but we were talking about the corners just now. We searched everywhere outside the corners, just like walking around a bamboo forest. There were originally a lot of bamboo shoots in the forest, but we just found them yesterday and there are basically none left. The masters want to use them, so how dare the servants not be willing to do their best? Every time we dig, almost all of them are gone."
The old woman replied with a smile, and she also looked tired, and her steps were much slower than before.
The two people just now were the personal maids of the King of England's palace. She had been given instructions when she came over, and she also saw that Yuxiu and Yuchun were the leaders just now.
"No wonder we have to look for such a big place now." Qinghuan said suddenly.
"Isn't your princess seriously ill? How can she eat hard vegetables like bamboo shoots?" The old woman tilted her head to look at the two maids who were too beautiful, and asked calmly, her steps becoming slower and slower.
Can a patient who is so seriously ill really eat bamboo shoots? Is it easy to chew? Or is the British princess not as sick as the legend says
"Our princess is very ill, but she should be fine after drinking some soup. The mansion has been making medicinal food before." Qinghuan replied.
It seemed as if she really knew something, but in fact, she was just making assumptions.
They were in a remote corner of the British palace and knew nothing about it. Only when they were brought out did they know that such a big thing had happened. Of course, they were gloating in their hearts. They also hoped that the British princess would die.
, maybe if they die they will have a chance.
If there is a new princess or concubine coming in, they can come to the door and put forward the identities bestowed by the queen, and maybe they can escape from the suffering here.
But they had to follow here now, and when they came, the manager warned the maids and old women who followed them, saying that if something happened to the Princess of England at the hot spring manor, everyone who followed them would be buried with her.
Just these words frightened the two maids so much that they almost fainted. They no longer dared to hope that anything would happen to the Princess of England.
Even if they were maids sent by the Queen, so what? Whoever the King of England wanted to kill, let alone them being servants, even if they were from aristocratic families, who would dare to say no
Buried with the dead, they are still young, have a bright future ahead of them, and are so pretty...
"Does this bamboo shoot really taste so good? Does Your Highness the Crown Prince like it so much?" Qinghuan asked again, looking a little coquettish and curious.
"Your Highness naturally likes it very much. Such good bamboo shoots are only available at this time. If they are old after a while, they will not taste so good." The old woman Hu Yan said, bringing the topic back, "Princess Ying is so sick, why did she come to the manor? Isn't it difficult to move?"
"Someone is carrying her, and she will be fine. The princess is not feeling well this time. The hot springs here have great healing properties. I hope to use the hot springs to help her get better soon."
Huaye replied.
Some of these things they had seen, and some had been explained to the outside world by the British palace. Anyway, they couldn't let the old woman in front of them find out that they knew nothing.
"Is Princess Ying really marrying the second wife of the Qu family this time?" The old woman asked curiously, and deliberately explained, "I have been outside the city and heard many rumors, but I don't know if they are true. I really don't understand the connection between them."
"Of course it's true. It's all the fault of the Second Madam of the Qu Mansion." Hua Ye said vaguely. They had no access to the details of what happened. All they knew was what they had just heard and seen. In fact, it was just a small matter. They couldn't make up a story. They could only listen to his explanation. Then he added something they particularly wanted to know, "Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come here at this time?"
"Of course he will come. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes to come here. Even if he doesn't take a hot spring bath, the scenery here is very good. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is upset, he can come here to relax and quiet down." The old woman didn't want the two maids to find out anything, so she naturally pushed them away if they had anything to say.
The two maids and a woman went back and forth, each trying to find out something that would be of benefit to them.
Their movements became slower and slower, as they all felt that the other party was very knowledgeable and should be able to find out what they wanted to know.
However, no matter how slow it was, Qinghuan was left behind first, and Huaye followed for a while before being left at the edge of the field.
Looking at the maids who were left behind, the old woman hurried back to report the news she had just heard. These maids were all the Princess of England's people and could find out the most real situation of the Princess of England.
This old woman was a clever woman. She was responsible for leading people and also for finding out the exact condition of the Princess of England. Now she had finally gained something and she must be very happy to go back and collect her reward.
The bamboo forest is so big that it’s hard for several people to meet each other for a while. Besides, there are people from the village around, and they won’t let a few girls ruin things.
After reporting and receiving the reward, she would come over and watch. Although it was just one person watching several people, this place
It was impossible for Fang to let a few maids run around.
On the surface, we can't have too many people watching over her, so it's best for her to be alone.
What the old woman didn't expect was that after she left in a hurry, Huaye walked back along the same path and came to the place where Qingye had left. As expected, when she saw Qingye, he stayed there waiting for her.
After the two men met, they looked around. This was the edge of the bamboo forest. On one side was a large bamboo forest, but on the opposite side was not a bamboo forest. Instead, it was a yard. This was also a slope. Standing on the slope, you could see quite far and could see the largest yard in the farm and several other small yards.
The whole layout is somewhat similar to the hot spring villa of the British royal palace.
The main courtyard is not in the center of the manor. The main courtyard here is not like the mansions in the city, which are all built in the center of the entire mansion. Here it is built along the hot springs. The largest main courtyard is often close to the hot springs. Other courtyards may have it or may not.
"There are people over there." Qingye pointed in a direction. She just looked for a while and saw people moving around over there. There were people outside the yard in other places, but there were people in that yard.
There were people outside some courtyards, busy and bustling, looking like servants. There were people standing still at the gates of some courtyards, seemingly guards. Only this courtyard looked ordinary, with no one guarding it, but someone came out from inside, and someone outside seemed to be sending something in, and the person inside took it without leaving the courtyard. Was the person inside a master
"It's too far away, and it doesn't look like a proper yard." Hua Ye put his hand on his eyebrows to block the light and said.
That place is really far away from the bamboo forest and seems to be on the other side of the village.
The yard didn't look very big. It felt like an ordinary yard, somewhat similar to the remote one where they lived in the British palace before.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be here now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess should not be here either. There are people living in that place, and the only person who could live in the yard is probably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's concubine." Hua Ye analyzed.
"What's the use of a concubine?" Qinghuan said disapprovingly.
"Could it be that the Crown Princess is here and will be of use to us?" Hua Ye rolled his eyes at her. The two of them had suffered such a great loss in the Prince of England's Palace, and now they have become much more cautious.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were here..." Qinghuan blushed and felt shy.
"What are you thinking? Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, the two of us won't be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Hua Ye sneered and pointed in that direction, "It would be best if it was a concubine. With such a concubine, we will have a chance to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and follow him in the future."
They belong to the Queen Mother and were previously given to His Royal Highness the King of England. Although they were thrown aside, their status was given by the Queen Mother. Only if they follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will the Queen Mother not punish them and it will be possible to get their status back from the British Palace. Otherwise, will they be ashamed to face people for the rest of their lives
Because he is the Crown Prince, the Queen Mother would help him for the sake of his Royal Highness, otherwise they would have died in the British Palace.
Originally, they thought that the Queen Mother would have follow-up plans, but after being in the Prince of England's Palace for so long, the Queen Mother did not say anything and did not even send anyone to take them away. It was obvious that she had really given up on them. Now they can only think of saving themselves, said the old woman who had taken care of them for a while.
When no one helps you, the only hope for survival is to save yourself.
