Xiang Cao was naturally not an exception.
Perhaps admiration didnât mean love, but when she knew that sir Song met with a maid of the clothes washing department late at night in the imperial garden, her heart felt dissatisfied.
In her heart, there wasnât a maid that was worthy of Song Nan Mo.
No, perhaps she wasnât even qualified to talk to Song Nan Mo.
âXiang Cao.â Concubine Rou looked at her and said, âYou leave first.â
âConcubineâ¦â¦â
âGo.â
Xiang Cao pursed her lips, but she could only feel angry as she bowed and said, âYes.â
âThis one already knew about this since there was no maid named Luo Qing Chen in my Righteous Declaration Palace.â She took a deep look at Luo Qing Chen, âThis palace is one that is filled with eyes, so no matter what you do, someone will know.â
âThis servant understands.â
âThis one wasnât planning on telling you the truth and was planning on punishing you with twenty paddles before sending you back to the clothes washing department.â Concubine Rou said with a chuckle, âBut this one never expected you to be this frank, so this one doesnât know how to punish you.â
Luo Qing Chen looked up with a slight sparkle in her eyes, âHow about the concubine keep this servant in your Righteous Declaration Palace?â
âKeep you here.â A faint sparkle appeared in Concubine Rouâs eyes, âA clothes washing department maid like you, wouldnât it be a reward rather than a punishment?â
âYour majesty is wrong.â Luo Qing Chen looked up and explained, âAlthough this servant is working from early morning to night in the clothes washing department, being even lower than the normal maids, as long as this servant keeps to herself, I will not be in any danger.â
The road paved for so long was finally on the right track.
Luo Qing Chen thought that palace battle was very suited for her and not suited for her at the same time.
It was suited for her since she was smart and knew how to leave a path of escape for herself.
But it wasnât suited for her because of her temper and that she always spoke her mind. In this place, one must make certain preparations before saying anything.
Commonly known as a plan.
âYou mean that if you come to this oneâs palace, your life will be in danger?â Concubine Rou put down her cup and slightly knitted her brows to look at Luo Qing Chen, âWhat exactly do you want to say?â
âThis servant must contribute to the Righteous Declaration Palace before coming here. The concubine should know that before this servant was sent to the clothes washing department, this servant was a maid for Concubine Li.â Luo Qing Chen slightly knitted his brows, âThe matter of the eighth prince wasnât a simple accident.â
âGedeng!â The sound of a cup smashing on the ground rang out.
Xiang Cao immediately rushed in, âConcubine, are you alright!â
Concubine Rouâs face was unusually pale and her hands were trembling a bit.
Concubine Rouâs only son Feng Zhi had a cold a few months ago. Feng Zhi was only three months old and the cold wasnât that big of a deal. The imperial doctors of the palace took turns diagnosing and treating him, so his condition stabilized and he gradually recovered.
But one night, Feng Zhiâs illness suddenly changed. He had a high fever and finally couldnât keep going.
The imperial doctors all gave the analysis that since the eighth prince was young, it was common that his condition was unstable.
Concubine Rou didnât say anything and Luo Qing Chen didnât say anything either.
Xiang Cao was very anxious. She looked at Concubine Rou and then at Luo Qing Chen before stomping her foot, âSomeone, lock this maid from the clothes washing department up and wait for her majestyâs judgeâ¦â¦â
âWait.â
âConcubine, you canât keep this person here.â Xiang Cao angrily said, âIf the concubine feels that she shouldnât stay in the Righteous Declaration Palace, then send her back to the clothes washing department. Someoneâ¦â¦â
âXiang Cao, has this one been spoiling you so much that you want to reverse roles?â
