Chen Shangshu tied the belt around his waist and left the palace.
The maid who was responsible for packing Ye Wuji's clothes found that a belt was missing when she was packing at night, and wondered: "Why is there a missing belt on His Majesty's belt?"
"No way?" Another little palace maid also stepped forward to help search, but she couldn't find it anywhere.
"What should we do!" The eldest palace lady was almost in tears. "If the Prime Minister finds out about this, we will all suffer!"
"It's just a belt, it's not that serious! I see that our Majesty is not a difficult person to talk to." The little palace maid had just been brought from another palace, and she didn't know much about the situation in the palace.
"What's the use of your Majesty's good temper! Your Majesty can't take care of things. The Prime Minister always checks the people around your Majesty closely, and you will be punished if you make any mistakes."
"Could it be that His Majesty lost it himself?"
"Even if His Majesty loses it, will the Prime Minister still blame His Majesty? It won't be us who will suffer at that time! Your Majesty is really, really good at it, how could he lose his belt!"
"Ahem." The little maid kept winking at the eldest maid.
"What's wrong with you? Your throat is uncomfortable. If your throat is uncomfortable, take some medicine. Don't delay your work. The Prime Minister is not here now. If he finds you coughing when he is here, you will be out of luck! Our Majesty is the same, Prime Minister She didn't say a word to punish people. She said she had a good temper, but in fact she was just cowardly. No wonder she was punished by the Prime Minister... "
"Cough cough cough!" The little palace maid coughed violently, making people suspect that her lungs were about to be coughed out.
"What's wrong with you? Go see the imperial doctor quickly! I'll report it to Your Majesty." The eldest maid turned around, only to see Ye Wuji standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" The maid's knees softened and she immediately knelt down, "When did you come?"
Ye Wuji smiled and said, "I've been here since you said, 'You're so good, how can you lose your belt?'"
The eldest palace maid's face instantly turned pale, and she kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, slave, slave, you didn't do it on purpose!"
"Don't be afraid." Ye Wuji smiled and helped her up, "I won't blame you. I also know that the name for my throne is unjust, and I am a woman. It is normal for you to disobey me."
"My slave has no intention of doing this!" The eldest maid almost swore to the sky to declare her loyalty.
"It's okay. I told you not to worry about you. I'm just a puppet in the Prime Minister's hands. No one inside or outside the court doesn't know about this. It's normal for you not to be afraid of me."
"Your Majesty..."
Ye Wuji's expression suddenly changed: "But even if everyone knows it, no one has ever dared to make irresponsible remarks in front of me!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" The eldest maid had no way to defend herself. His Majesty heard her wild words with his own ears. For a moment, she really didn't know how to defend herself.
"I told you, I won't blame you. Now that the Prime Minister is no longer in the court, few people listen to my words. Even if I want to punish you, I'm afraid I can't command the eunuch guards in the palace."
"If the Prime Minister asks about the belt, just say that I was in a bad mood one day and burned it. The Prime Minister will not blame you." After saying that, Ye Wuji walked out, "Everyone. You are a person trapped in a deep palace, so how can I criticize you harshly?"
The eldest maid looked up at Ye Wuji's back, and suddenly felt that the back of this aloof Queen was full of desolation and loneliness.
"Let me just say that Your Majesty will not blame you." The little palace maid said, "Your Majesty is such a kind person! Don't always speak ill of her in the future."
"Your Majesty... he is indeed a nice person."
The little palace maid leaned into her ear and said: "I know you have some bad thoughts about the Prime Minister. Don't deny it. I always see you staring at the Prime Minister's back in a daze. But you should restrain yourself. The Prime Minister is not you and me. You can imagine it.”
The eldest palace maid was shocked and looked at the younger palace maid with a trace of murderous intent in her eyes.
The little palace maid was completely unaware and smiled: "I won't tell others. You should pay attention to yourself. If His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid you won't be as easy to talk to as today."
