Chapter 266 Queen's Strategy
"Help! There is a ghost!"

The voice of Lanyue suddenly sounded hurriedly in the darkness.

"Who?"

Their master's voice then sounded, and soon there was a rustling sound in the house.

Yan Zi struggled to swing her leg, the person who was holding her down, who knew that the person who held her was quite strong, and she couldn't shake her no matter what.

She gritted her teeth, and slammed her head upwards. In the darkness, she heard a soft hum, and then the person who was holding her loosened a hand.

Yan Zi quickly took advantage of the situation and threw the person under the bed, she shouted: "There is a thief! Hurry up and catch the thief!"

The black shadow quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the door.

"oops!"

There was a muffled sound of impact in the darkness, and then Yan Zi felt a person rushing up behind her, and after catching up with the black shadow, she swooped and pressed the person to the ground.

"Come and help!"

A familiar voice came, and it turned out to be their master.

Yan Zi rushed over quickly, and Lanyue also realized that it was not a ghost at this moment, almost immediately, she also joined the battle to catch the thief.

When the three of them caught the thief who broke in and dragged him outside, they watched the moonlight outside.Only then did they realize that the person caught by them turned out to be the court lady during the day.

"Why is it you?" Ye Xiaomo said, looking at the maid in surprise, only to see that she was already shaking into a ball, looking terrified.

"Please... please let me go, please? I... I didn't do it on purpose, I just... just wanted to steal some food..."

The palace maid trembled all over, crying with blurred eyes, obviously terrified.

Ye Xiaomo frowned: "Why?"

Why are you stealing something to eat?
The palace maid cried: "I... Jiang Zhaoyi and I haven't eaten for two days... I really don't know how long Zhaoyi and I can stay together, so today... Seeing you during the day today, I suddenly woke up Evil heart... I'm sorry... Please pity Zhaoyi and me, please let us go! I won't dare to do it again next time!"

After listening to the maid's words, the three of them looked at each other, Ye Xiaomo couldn't help but let go of his hand, the maid struggled and ran out, and disappeared in a flash.

"Always in...we..."

Lanyue opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she heard their master say:

"Go and get some food, let's go and have a look together."

Lanyue raised her head and looked at the master in front of her. She saw that she was staring at her in a daze, but she stretched out her hand and pushed her into the room, urging: "Go quickly! Why are you in a daze?"

Not long after, the three of them searched the vicinity with food, and sure enough, they found movement in a nearby yard that was also decayed.

The woman's somewhat crazy voice came from the faint light leaking from the room. When the three of them walked in, they heard the familiar voice of the palace maid.

"Zhaoyi, it's useless to blame Xiaodie... Wuwuwu, Xiaodie is sorry for you, if you hadn't saved Xiaodie, Xiaodie would have been framed and beheaded by now, but now... Wuwuwu... But now Xiaodie can't even steal some food for you!"

Ye Xiaomo didn't expect these two people to have such entanglements.She made up her mind and pushed open the door, and at a glance, she saw the mad woman in the maid's arms crying in pain.

Seeing someone coming in from the door, the people in the room were obviously taken aback, and they threw their hands away to protect the person in their arms behind them, watching the intruder warily with a face still full of tears. , but fell into panic after seeing the person clearly.

"You...how did you find this place?"

The palace maid asked, her eyes fell on the plate of food in Lanyue's hand behind Ye Xiaomo, and her eyes became flickering.

"You are..."

Ye Xiaomo nodded and signaled Lan Yue to go forward and put these things on the simple table aside, and then said: "I'll bring you some food."

The palace maid looked at a plate of food on the table, then at the three people in the room, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Thank... thank you!"

The palace maid was crying, and took the woman's hand and walked over slowly. She let the woman sit on the only stool, and then she took a bowl of rice from the plate, but fed it to the woman bit by bit. eat.

When she feeds her, the woman eats. This woman who is rarely quiet looks unusually gentle and obedient. She stares at the maid feeding her, and suddenly raises her sleeves to wipe the tears that haven't dried on the maid's face. .

The palace maid allowed her to roughly wipe the tears on her face, but instead of crying she said with a smile: "Okay, Zhaoyi is good, don't wipe it off, come and eat with us."

That Zhaoyi opened her mouth obediently, and soon a bowl of rice was finished.

The three people watching this scene silently have different experiences.

Ye Xiaomo was lamenting that such a scene was so rare, when he saw the palace maid put the empty rice bowl on the table aside and pulled the woman over step by step.

Then, under her tugging, the two of them knelt down in front of Ye Xiaomo.

Ye Xiaomo was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to help them up, but the latter actually shook his head and refused.

"A benefactor who is willing to give food to our master and servant is our benefactor. It is right to kneel down and thank our benefactors."

Ye Xiaomo did not give up because of her rejection. Instead, he squatted down and looked at the palace maid.

"Since you call me a benefactor, why don't you even listen to his benefactor's words? Get up quickly!"

The maid's eyes were moved, and after some final struggle, she still pulled the woman up from the ground, and then looked at Ye Xiaomo.

"This is our constant presence."

Lanyue explained to her in due course.

"Shen Zhaoyi, you will be my benefactor and Zhaoyi in the future. My name is Xiaodie, and this is Jiang Zhaoyi."

Ye Xiaomo didn't mean to ask them to repay their favor, but he was relieved to see that he stopped kneeling.

"There's actually no need to repay the favor. We're just in the cold palace and helping each other. But...you and this Zhaoyi have been living in the cold palace for how long, why don't you even bring food?"

Xiaodie seemed to have remembered something, and her expression was a little gloomy. She avoided Ye Xiaomo's eyes and sighed, and then told them about her and Jiang Zhaoyi.

Xiaodie was originally a maid in the Queen's Palace, and Jiang Zhaoyi was originally a court lady in the Queen's Palace.The two were on good terms until Jiang Zhaoyi became pregnant after being favored by the emperor.

The mother is more expensive than the child, and the emperor has no heirs, so the pregnancy of the first child directly made Jiang Zhaoyi agree to be promoted to Zhaoyi.

After Jiang was named Zhaoyi, Xiaodie was still on duty in the queen's palace, but once she accidentally lost one of the queen's earrings.
