Qinghuan and Huaye were sitting restlessly in the room, looking out the window from time to time. The eunuch did not leave the yard. There were indeed other people in the yard, but they had only seen this eunuch so far.
"What should we do? What if he doesn't believe us?" Qinghuan asked anxiously, and looked out the window again. In fact, it had only been a short time since the eunuch left, but she felt like a long time had passed, as if the days were passing by like years.
"I'll sit down first. My eyes are dizzy from all the walking." Hua Ye said calmly.
"I can't sit down. If they send us back, we... we might really die." Qinghuan was very anxious.
If it were any other palace, she would not think so, but the Prince of England's Palace made her think too much.
"Just say we got lost and accidentally strayed from the direction we came from."
Flower Leaf Road.
"But this... this is too far away." Qinghuan's hands were shaking and his lips were pale.
"That is the last move. If it really comes to that, we can only leave it to fate. This kind of thing should not happen. We are the Queen's people, and this is the Prince's place." Although Hua Ye was also pale, he still comforted her.
When she first entered the mansion, Huaye seemed a little reckless, but in fact she had better self-control than Qingye.
"This... I've been gone for so long now..." Qing Huan was very uneasy. He looked out the window again and suddenly said, "Here I come, here I come. Is there any news?"
Hua Ye stood up suddenly and looked towards the window. A eunuch hurried over outside the window. His expression looked calm and he didn't look like he was going to take them down.
The two men hurriedly returned to their previous stools and sat down.
The eunuch came over and said, "Come with us."
"Where are we going?" Qinghuan looked at the eunuch fearfully.
"Why ask so many questions? Just follow me." The eunuch said indifferently.
The two maids didn't dare to say anything more and followed the eunuch to a room in the middle.
When the half-open door was pushed open, a musty smell rushed out. Although this room was the main house with inner and outer rooms, it also gave off a feeling that no one lived in it, but there happened to be a woman sitting on the chair in the middle.
A woman in simple coarse cloth clothes, with a veil on her head, her face could not be seen clearly, just sat there. The strong smell of medicine on her body mixed with the musty smell in the room made the two maids who had just entered stop immediately. This was different from what they had imagined.
Is this the concubine of the Eastern Palace
The least favored concubine or the demoted concubine
The two people looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing what was going on. Is this person really the Crown Prince's concubine
How could a woman like this have eunuchs serving her
"Why don't you come over to greet the Madam?" When the eunuch saw that they did not come forward to pay their respects, his face turned cold and he scolded them harshly.
The so-called madam is naturally the prince's concubine.
Although the two maids were skeptical, they had no choice but to step forward and pay their respects.
"Are you the Queen's people?" The woman in the middle seemed to look them up and down, then asked, her voice sounding a little hoarse.
"I am the Queen's servant, sent to the Prince of England's Palace." Qinghuan said, Huaye lowered his head, still feeling suspicious. This matter was very strange. Who was this woman
Could it be that she is not the prince's concubine, but something else
"What did the Queen send you to the British Palace for?" the woman asked coldly.
"Yes... We are asked to serve the Queen and the King." Qinghuan answered uneasily. There were some questions she didn't dare to answer because this person's identity was unknown and they were unsure.
"Just serving?" the woman asked again.
"No... not only serve, but also let me pay attention to the affairs of the Prince of Ying's Palace." Qinghuan was sweating on her vest, always feeling that this matter had deviated from their previous ideas.
Who is this woman
"Since we have sent you to the King of England's palace, why did you come back?" The woman looked at the two maids with panic-stricken faces and asked in a cold voice.
"Your servant... Your servant has heard some news and wanted to report it to Her Majesty the Queen, but I have never had the chance. Today I finally found such an opportunity to escape." Qinghuan explained, fearing that the woman in front of her would send them back to the past, which would mean a life-threatening situation.
"You are so brave that you even dare to spread the news around the British princess." The woman's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, making people feel uncomfortable.
I'm used to hearing the sweet voices of my masters, how could I hear such sounds
"The Princess of England is busy with her own business now and has no time to pay attention to us, so we servants have a chance." Hua Ye thought that the woman in front of him was worried that the Princess of England would come to find out, so he said.
"Has something happened to the British princess?" the woman asked. It seemed that she was avoiding the news here and didn't know the situation outside. Judging from the appearance of the place where she lived, she knew that the situation of this person was not good either.
"The Princess of England was deceived by Madam Qu Er before, and she almost lost her life..." Hua Ye did not hide anything and told the whole story.
After listening to the end, the woman suddenly laughed, "Qu Moying, ah Qu Moying, you have come to this day."
The sound became more and more hoarse and unpleasant, as if it were being ground by sand and stone.
The two maids were startled and looked at the woman in front of them in amazement. The eunuch on the side snorted coldly, and the woman's unpleasant laughter stopped. She asked in confusion: "Is the Princess of England really not doing well this time?"
"Yes... it's true. When I arrived at the hot spring resort before, I was carried down. I heard that if I don't soak in the hot springs, my body won't get better. I have to soak it well to get rid of some bad things in my body." Hua Ye exaggerated. What they wanted to talk about now was the matter of the Princess of England, and they couldn't say they didn't know.
"She's going to die? She's actually going to die? It's really retribution." The woman laughed again, a little neurotically. The two maids looked at the eunuch, not knowing what to do next.
Is this woman normal
"Okay, are these two people the ones close to the Queen?" the eunuch asked impatiently.
"They are two maids sent by the Queen. They are so useless. They were sent out to climb into bed, but now they are nothing." The woman mocked.
The two maids felt ashamed and guilty, and a little bit unwilling to accept it. This was indeed the purpose for which they were sent out in the first place. How could the woman in front of them really know this
They really wanted to climb into the King of England's bed, but in the end, let alone the bed, they saw that the King of England was kicked by each of them and almost lost his life. Who would dare to get close to the King of England
Of course, they were not the only ones who didn't dare. Did those who dared in the past dare to do so? At least they were lucky enough to still be alive. Some of them lost their lives as soon as they entered the British palace.
If the King of England was a conquerable person, they would never have had their turn.
It's not that they are useless, it's just that the King of England is not a man who is gentle with women. Who else but the Princess of England could come to him? From this point of view, the Princess of England is really lucky.
Despite being so stupid, the King of England hasn't divorced her yet.
"We... it's not just our fault... His Majesty the King of England has always been unfeeling. Some of them have been sent out in the past, but they have never come out again after staying in the King of England's palace." Hua Ye said.
"So is this useful?" the woman asked again, seeming to look them up and down.
"At least... at least we got the news about Prince Ying's Palace and escaped. This is something that those people in the past couldn't do. If the Queen knew, she would definitely use us." Looking at the woman in front of her who looked neither master nor servant, Qinghuan also felt more confident and said.
The more I talk about it, the more it makes sense. Isn't that the case? The fact that they can come out represents their ability. Could it be that the Queen will punish them just for not climbing into the King of England's bed
"You go down first!" Before the woman could speak, the eunuch waved his hand rudely, as if he was the master here.
The two maids had no choice but to retreat and continue to guard the previous room. The eunuch said that they would stay there temporarily and would only come out when the East Palace had news to send them back.
Watching the two maids leave, the woman took off the veil on her head, revealing an ugly face with obvious scars. Her injured face looked like a pile of red earthworms, which was very disgusting.
"You'd better not take it off. If someone sees it, not only you, but also our family will be in trouble." The eunuch said sharply, pointing to the inner room, "You'd better go inside and don't come out again."
"Take me out when you need me, and take me back when you don't need me. I'm not in a hurry to go back now." Ji Youran said without moving.
"Madam, don't you want to make things difficult for our family?" The eunuch stared at Ji Youran unmoved, his smile becoming cold.
"Of course I won't embarrass you, father-in-law. I'll just sit here for a while. It's too stuffy in there, and it's uncomfortable. If I really die in there, you probably won't want that!" Ji Youran said with a smile, her voice still hoarse as always. She didn't know how her voice was injured, and it was difficult to restore to its previous clear and elegant voice. "If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I will definitely help you if I can."
"Are these two maids really sent by the Queen?" Seeing that she was sensible, the eunuch did not insist and asked about the two maids again. He brought the two maids here specifically to let Ji Youran see them. He didn't know these things, but Ji Youran might know them.
"It was sent by the Queen." Ji Youran said. She really knew about this.
"That's good if it's true." The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief. If the two maids were talking nonsense, their lives would be wasted. "We will report this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I advise you not to rush to report it at this time. There may be follow-up to this matter. Let's wait and see!" Ji Youran said disapprovingly.
"What do you mean?" the eunuch raised his eyes and asked.
"I'm not sure either. Let's wait and see... maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries." Ji Youran added, "It's best for these two people to hide first. If they cause trouble, it will definitely be serious."
As he said this, he stood up and limped inside.
Enter the inner room, push open the secret door, and walk down the stairs. That is where Ji Youran has been imprisoned for some time...
She finally understood her situation. This was the manor outside the city, where she had once lived with her family, but now she was hiding in a dark, damp corner, waiting to rot...
