Qiao'er put on her veil and walked out of Changle Palace.

The palace maid secretly felt thankful that it was such a cold day and that there was a lowly palace maid like Qiao'er who could run the errand for her.

The wind was freezing cold and Qiao'er was shivering with cold. She could only quicken her pace and quickly go to the Imperial Household Department to get the fur material so that she could come back earlier.

Ministry of Internal Affairs

Because Qiao'er was wearing a veil, the eunuchs inside couldn't help but look at her a few more times after seeing her, but when they heard that she was from Changle Palace, they all avoided their gazes.

After all, Concubine Wang who lives in Changle Palace is the cousin of the current queen's mother's family, and now she is pregnant with the royal heir, so naturally her status rises, and even the servants in Changle Palace have to show her more respect.

The young eunuch arranged the fur and handed it to Qiao'er, "Here, the best fur for the winter is all here."

Qiaoer took the leather and said softly, "Yes."

The young eunuch couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Changle Palace was not a laundry department, so how could her hands be frozen like this? She still had a veil on her face. Was she injured?

Just as he was thinking, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly hit the young eunuch on the hat from behind and said, "What are you looking at, little brat? Go to work!"

The young eunuch then hurried to do his own thing.

The chief steward flattered, "Young lady, please take care. If you need anything in Changle Palace, just come to our Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask for it~"

Qiao Er said, "Thank you, butler."

Turning around and walking back, she realized how it felt to be respected. But if she returned to Changle Palace, she would become a lowly palace maid that everyone could trample on...

On her way back, Qiao'er slowed down her pace, enjoying her own time alone.

Two palace maids came towards me, and looking from afar, they seemed to be Haitang and Xiaoying from Yufangzhai!

Her eyes gradually became blurred, and with a thud, Qiao'er fainted on the road without any warning.

After seeing this, Haitang and Xiaoying hurriedly walked up to Qiaoer and touched her forehead, which was burning hot!

Xiaoying said, "Sister Haitang, she seems to have a fever!"

Haitang said, "It's so cold. If we leave her alone, she will freeze to death here with a fever!"

Sakura hesitated and said, "Then...should we take her back? Will the young lady be angry..."

Haitang seemed to have made up her mind, "Xiaoying! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda! Let's take her back! I'll take care of it if it doesn't work out!"

Sakura nodded "Okay!"

In this way, the two people brought Qiao'er back to Yufangzhai.

After seeing this, Yingcan couldn't help but frowned, "What are you doing?"

Xiaoying said innocently, "Sister Yingcan, she fainted. Sister Haitang and I rescued her together."

After hearing this, Yingcan was very angry. "Do you know which palace she is from? You just brought her back at random. What if she is a concubine from some palace who did this on purpose and then reported us for hiding people in Yufangzhai? You can't explain it even if you have ten mouths!"

After hearing the voice, Song Qingwan rushed over and couldn't help laughing. These palace maids really have their own characteristics. Some are chivalrous and righteous, some have pure hearts, and some hate evil!

"What's going on? Why is there such a big noise?" Song Qingwan asked

Haitang bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "My lord, we saved a palace maid on the road! Human life is at stake, so I didn't think too much about it. Please punish me, my lord!"

Song Qingwan: "Okay, Yingcan, let's see if she is serious first!"

Yingcan was a man with a cold face but a warm heart. He nodded, then bent down to check Qiaoer's injuries. He touched her forehead and found it was burning hot! She was still wearing a veil on her face.

After Yingcan carefully lifted the veil, his hands couldn't help but tremble. When others saw it, they couldn't bear to look at it. Xiaoying covered her mouth and almost screamed.

How cruel a person must be to do such a cruel thing to a girl's face!

Yingcan continued to check and found that Qiao'er's hands were all covered with frostbite. There was a long cut on the palm of one of her hands, and the cut was festering! Maybe the fever was caused by these injuries!

"My lady, you are injured so badly. I am worried that it might be a trap set by other ladies. It would be bad if they attribute all the injuries to Yufangzhai." Yingcan said cautiously.

Song Qingwan couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, if we throw her wherever she came from, we won't be able to do it. So, let's take her to the hidden woodshed and put her in a good place. Keep your mouths shut about this matter, and don't let the news leak out!"

"Also, when you picked her up, no one saw her on the road, right?"

Sakura and Haitang said "No one!"

Song Qingwan said, "That's good. Give her some medicine to reduce the fever first. When she wakes up, I must find out her background clearly!"
