One touch and one silence

This was the first time that Nancy opened the door on her own initiative after falling into the water. This time, there was no one in the courtyard, even the two personal maids beside her were nowhere to be seen.

Nancy was a little curious. She looked around, but didn't see anyone, so she found a place to sit down.

In the evening, the two maids came back in a hurry.

Seeing Nancy sitting in the pavilion, he ran up anxiously and asked with concern: "Your Highness, why did you come out? Be careful of the wind. Are you still sick?"

Shuyue quickly went to the bedroom and took out an old plush cloak, and came over to put it on Nancy.

Nancy was about to say no, but when she saw the concerned looks of the two maids, she swallowed the words back.

"I went out to look for you, but after searching for a long time, you weren't there, so I waited for you in this pavilion for a while."

As soon as Nancy finished her words, she saw the two maids beside her plop down.

Kneeling on her knees, Nancy could feel how much pain she felt just by hearing the sound.

He quickly helped the two of them up with both hands.

"What are you doing? Get up!"

Shuhua knelt down and admitted her fault directly, "It is our fault that Your Highness woke up without anyone to serve him."

Seeing that Shuhua didn't explain, Shuyue spoke regardless and ignored Shuhua's disapproving look.

"Your Highness, Yuelin Palace said they were too busy and asked us to go over and help out. That's why we came back late. It's our fault."

"stand up!"

For the first time, Nancy felt angry.

"What did she ask you to do?"

Shuhua looked at his frowning master and lowered his head even more, without explaining.

In the palace, if the master says you are wrong, then you are wrong. As a slave, explanations are the most useless thing here.

Shuyue muttered indignantly, "Master, it was the nanny next to Concubine Jieyu who asked us to go over and wash clothes for the Eighth Prince. But when we went there, they were all the clothes of the maids and eunuchs. They stopped us from leaving and didn't let us go until we finished washing."

Shuyue knew, of course, that it would be wrong to complain about Concubine Jieyu in front of her master.

But it is different for slaves.

Nancy's brows furrowed even more, her tone became a little cold, and her face became very gloomy.

"You are my personal maids, why are you going to her Yuelin Palace? The next time they come looking for you, just tell me directly and your master will naturally make the decision for you."

"Although this prince is not favored, he is still a prince."

Nancy's words, though harsh, were powerful enough to make Shuhua and Shuyue's eyes tear up. It was the first time that their master had defended them.

This happened quite a few times after they came back. Every time they had various excuses to make them do the most menial jobs.

However, the master has always been looking forward to the favor of the concubine, so they, the servants, can only endure all this.

Shuhua Shuyue knelt down and kowtowed to Nancy, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Master!"

"Get up! Why are you still kneeling? Is there something wrong with your knee? Go and apply some medicine."

Nancy was worried that their knees might be injured, so she sent them back to get some medicine.

Seeing the two people's grateful expressions, Nancy finally realized how difficult it was to survive in this deep palace.

Whether it is her, the master who is unloved by her father and mother, or the servants around her, life is equally difficult.

Nancy suddenly had an impulse in her heart. She wanted the two little girls to live a better life and stay alive.

It doesn’t matter whether I live or die, but if my master really dies, the fate of these two people will probably be similar to mine.

You have to know how terrible it was to be implicated with the people close to you in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Nancy stood up and paced back to the study.

She had to find a way out for both of them.

In the evening, Shuyue invited Nancy to dinner. Nancy was a little curious why Shuyue was the one today.

Seeing the vegetables and tofu on the table, Nancy paused.

"Didn't His Royal Highness order the kitchen to make soup for me twice a day? It's only been two days and you're not making it anymore?"

Nancy was a little confused. He was the prince after all, but what he said and did were somewhat unsatisfactory!

Then I thought, at least I was given two days, so it doesn’t matter.

Just as I was about to sit down, I heard sobbing behind me.

Nancy turned around and saw the little girl Shuyue crying in grievance.

Even though Nancy was stupid, she understood that there was something fishy going on.

"Why are you crying? Tell me what happened?"

After saying that, he handed Shuyue a handkerchief and asked her to wipe her tears.

"You're crying like a kitten. Could it be that this soup was taken away by my good mother?"

Apart from this, Nancy really couldn't think of anything else that could make the little girl so aggrieved.

Shuyue knelt down suddenly, "Your Highness, it was Yuexiang from Yuelin Palace. I don't know how she knew that you would have a bowl of soup every day. So she brought people to the imperial kitchen and snatched the soup that the Crown Prince gave you. They are so hateful. They even slapped Sister Shuhua. They thought you would not resist. The people from Yuelin Palace are too much."

"You are their master's biological son after all. How could you do this? That is to nourish your body."

When Nancy heard the little girl talking about Shuhua being beaten, she stood up from her chair.

His tone was full of concern and anger; "Where are the calligraphy and paintings?"

"Take me there and have a look!"

After saying this, without waiting for Shuyue to stand up, he picked up Shuyue with one hand and asked her to take him to see calligraphy and paintings.

When Nancy walked over, she heard Shuhua lying on the bed and crying in grievance.

Nancy suddenly became angry.

He pulled Shuyue out of the yard and reached the door, and suddenly calmed down again.

"Shuyue, take me to Yuelin Palace. I haven't seen my mother for a long time."

He just said he was going to see the master of Sister Shuhua, how come he suddenly said he was going to see Concubine Jieyu?

Shuyue didn’t know what her master was going to do, but looking at her master’s expression, Shuyue felt a little scared for the first time.

Especially the master's half-smile on his face, which made people's hair stand on end.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you lead the way?"

Nancy couldn't help but pinch the little girl's red face.

Shuyue then took Nancy forward.

Along the way, Shuyue didn't know what the master was going to do in Yuelin Palace. She didn't know whether what she did was right.

I really want to ask Sister Shuhua, but Sister Shuhua is not here, what should I do? If a fight breaks out, the master will definitely suffer.

What should I do then?

Just when Shuyue was still struggling along the way, she came to the door of a palace, stopped, and said hesitantly: "Master, why don't we go back!"

Nancy turned a deaf ear to Shuyue's words and walked in with big strides.

Shuyue could only hurry to catch up.

Nancy looked at the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. They acted as if they didn't see her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It seems that the servants in Yuelin Palace are really worthy of attention.

Nancy looked around the environment in the palace. It was a far cry from the place where her own impoverished prince lived.

There is luxury everywhere, as well as an unbearable tacky vibe.

It seems that the mother of this body has very bad taste!

Look at the red palace lanterns and the green gauze curtains. The palace maids are wearing the same green silk flowers on their heads.

Wow, this is a true green fan!
