When she woke up in the morning, Hua Rongrong often stretched herself. The sun outside was gradually rising, and she knew it was another sunny day.

This made Hua Rong particularly happy, and she had a vague hunch that what she had to do today would definitely go very smoothly!

As soon as I got up and put on my clothes, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Who?" Huarong asked tightly.

"Princess, this servant is Yaqing." Yaqing's voice sounded cautiously outside the door.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" Hua Rongrong was a little confused. Why did this Yaqing come to see her so early in the morning?

"The prince ordered that the status of the princess be reinstated, and the servant was ordered to continue to be the princess's personal maid." Yaqing stood outside the door and could not hear the emotions of Hua Rongrong in the room, so she could only lower her voice and said respectfully.

"Personal maid? I can take care of myself. I don't need a personal maid." Hua Rongrong declined politely. Although Yaqing's life experience is worthy of sympathy, she doesn't want to keep a time bomb next to her.

"Princess, I know that you are still angry about the matter of informing me. There is nothing I can do about it. I hope that the princess will not embarrass this servant." Yaqing also knew that what she did was wrong, so she had to bite the bullet and said.

"My servant has brought you some floral water for washing your face. I hope that the princess will not forget the faults of others."

"The past has passed. I hope you won't keep it in your mind anymore, but I can take care of myself. I really don't need you anymore." Hua Rongrong stepped forward, opened the door, and spoke face to face.

Said to Yaqing.

Yaqing felt Huarongrong's determination and buried her head even lower. Tears were already welling up in her eyes. She choked and said, "Since the princess is determined not to be a slave, I can only go back to being a washerwoman."

After saying that, he put the basin in his hand on the ground and then knelt down: "I can no longer be by your side. I can only pray every day that the princess will be happy to make up for my fault. I hope the princess will be careful about Concubine Li."

While talking, Hua Rongrong was reminded.

He leaned over and helped Yaqing up: "You said you were originally a laundry maid?"

"Yes, if the princess doesn't want the slave, the slave will have no choice but to continue working as a laundry maid." Yaqing lowered her head and said.

"Then do you know a girl named Ruyi?" Hua Rongrong asked hurriedly with a hint of surprise on her face.

"Slave, I don't know you." A trace of fear flashed across Yaqing's expression, and she hurriedly shook her head in denial.

"Don't you know?" Hua Rongrong naturally noticed the strange look in Yaqing's expression: "There shouldn't be many maids doing laundry, right? You both used to be maids doing laundry. Don't you know Ruyi?"

"Princess, I really don't know you. When Ruyi entered the house, I was already serving the princess." Yaqing buried her head lower, fearing that Huarongrong would see the fear in her heart, so she said firmly.

"Yaqing, I hope you won't lie to me, otherwise I won't forgive you again." Hua Rongrong didn't believe what Yaqing said at all. Her coma didn't last that long. To be precise, Ruyi died at the same time.

Shortly after she fell into coma, how could something unexpected happen just as she entered the palace? Who did she offend?"

Yaqing was stunned for a moment and fell into a dilemma.

Looking up at the princess, Huarongrong had a faint smile on her face, which made Yaqing look very warm.

"Princess, you'd better not pay too much attention to this matter. This matter is far more complicated than you think, and your real enemy is not Concubine Li, but Miss Peng!" Yaqing was attracted by Hua Rongrong.

Touched by his smile, he moved closer to Hua Rongrong and whispered in Hua Rongrong's ear.

"Oh? So you know a lot?" Huarong Rong narrowed her eyes and asked.

Then he bent down to pick up the flower water on the ground, and whispered to Yaqing: "Come to my room, I will take you in."

Yaqing immediately beamed with joy: "Really? Thank you so much, Princess!"

As soon as Yaqing entered the door, Hua Rongrong turned around and closed the door. After carefully checking everything here, she felt relieved.

"Yaqing, tell me everything you know now." Huarongrong asked Yaqing to sit aside.

"This..." Yaqing looked at Hua Rongrong with a troubled face.

She really didn't want to think about that horrific night a month ago.

Hua Rongrong naturally noticed the fear flashing across Yaqing's face, and without asking in a hurry, she walked to the table herself, poured a cup of scented tea, and handed it to Yaqing.

"Calm down first and tell me after you think clearly." Hua Rongrong moved a chair and sat across from Yaqing, watching Yaqing drink tea with a smile on her face.

Yaqing was anxious, fearing that the cause of Huarong Rongcha Ruyi's death would cause trouble for herself again, but she really didn't dare to tell the truth, lest it cause death for herself.

"What happened to make you so nervous? You and Ruyi are both washerwomen, so you must have a good relationship. Ruyi died tragically and was not discovered until today. Aren't you afraid that Ruyi will resent you in his heart?"

After a long time, Huarong said calmly.

"Princess, please stop talking. I really don't know." Yaqing said in a low voice, already covered in cold sweat.

"There is nothing wrong with you thinking about yourself. Besides, your whole family is counting on you, but you can't be so selfish. If you are the one who suffers the misfortune, I believe Ruyi will tell me everything he knows and let me help you.

Make the decision." Hua Rongrong looked at Yaqing and said coldly.

Through a short period of getting along, Hua Rongrong has a rough understanding of Yaqing's temperament and character. Although Yaqing is a greedy and selfish person who is afraid of death, she can be considered a kind-hearted person.

Hua Rongrong's guess was correct. Yaqing and Ruyi were indeed good sisters. They were both laundry maids, so they were naturally bullied by her grandma. Every time Yaqing made a mistake and was punished, Ruyi would help Yaqing apply medicine to heal her injuries.

Since entering the government, the two of them have been helping each other to persevere.

Therefore, friendship in suffering becomes even more precious.

Hua Rongrong's words also touched Yaqing's heart.

Ruyi was suffering, but she felt uncomfortable. She had to watch her friend lying dead in the well. The feeling could be imagined, but she was just the daughter of a poor family. Even so, what could she do?

Sample?

Telling it out will only lead to death for herself. Yaqing is afraid in her heart, fearing that she will die tragically like Ruyi in the conspiracy between others.

"Aren't you ready to tell me the whole story?" Huarongrong kept looking at Yaqing and asked aloud.

"I...I said it!" Yaqing was silent for a while before making up her mind.

"A month ago, I was assigned to serve you. Ruyi and I were very happy, so I secretly went out to buy some food at night to treat myself.

Ruyi is waiting in the house, so that if someone comes looking for me, it will be convenient for me to cover myself.

But when I returned to the palace at night, Ruyi told me with a panicked look on her face that she saw something she shouldn't have seen."

Yaqing said, paused, looked at Huarong, and then continued: "I will go to serve you the next day. In the evening, I wanted to go back to chat with Ruyi, but when I passed by the back garden, I heard something vaguely

to Ruyi’s cry for help.

I hurriedly ran over and saw a black shadow strangling Ruyi's neck. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to speak. I carefully hid behind the rockery and watched with my own eyes as Ruyi was strangled to death by the shadow and then thrown into a deep well."

As Yaqing spoke, her facial expression was extremely painful, and tears rolled down her face, which made people feel distressed.

Hua Rongrong stood up, held Yaqing in her arms, caressed Yaqing's back, and comforted her softly: "I can understand that you, a little girl, will definitely be frightened when seeing such a bloody and cruel scene.

"

Yaqing did not expect that the princess not only did not accuse herself, but also comforted herself like this, and she was immediately flattered.

"Then do you know who that black figure is? Is he someone from our house? What did Ruyi see that he shouldn't have seen, and he was silenced like this?" Hua Rongrong asked, feeling a chill down her spine at the same time.

No wonder Yaqing would betray herself out of fear of being punished by the prince, because in this prince's palace, there is nothing as peaceful as it seems on the surface!

"My slave is not sure. It is quite dark at night, and the murderer was dressed in black, but his figure looks very much like Butler Liu from the palace." Yaqing bit her lower lip tightly, thinking back to a month ago.

On that frightening night, the clothes on my back were soaked with cold sweat from the fright, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to my body.

"Steward Liu?" Hua Rongrong was stunned, searching for a person like Butler Liu in her mind.

After a long time, I still have no impression.

"There is a butler in our palace? Why haven't I heard of it?" Hua Rongrong asked with a frown.

"Steward Liu mainly manages the various nuns and doesn't often come to the backyard. The princess hasn't woken up for a long time, so naturally she hasn't seen Butler Liu yet." Yaqing said about Steward Liu, her pale lips that had been bitten by her were even more so.

It looked bloodless.

"Then what secret did Ruyi know about Butler Liu, so that he was brutally silenced?" Hua Rongrong asked in a deep voice. If the murderer is really Butler Liu, then there must be a huge secret behind him, and he cannot let the prince and himself.

I know, that is to say, this secret will harm the prince!

Hua Rongrong suddenly felt extremely worried. When she thought that the prince had raised a wolf beside her, it might be dangerous, Hua Rongrong felt scared in her heart.

This feeling is very strange. I obviously don't know what the relationship between me and the prince is, and the prince is not kind to me. Why can't I care about him involuntarily? Knowing that he is in danger is even more terrifying than knowing that I am in danger?

"I don't know the specifics. I just remember that Ruyi said that she overheard a conversation between Concubine Li and a black figure, saying that they were going to join forces to deal with the prince. Concubine Li would be the queen by then and she would definitely promote that man in black.

People." Yaqing said timidly, knowing that the prince would be in danger at any time, but she concealed it, which would probably anger the princess.

"Concubine Li is a member of the emperor, and she still wants to attack the prince?" Hua Rongrong said in surprise. It seems that this matter is really not simple. There are so many things involved behind the body of a maid!

Suddenly, I felt extremely disgusted with the emperor I had never seen before!

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety. Now I have to tell the prince the news as soon as possible." Huarongrong gently pressed Yaqing's shoulders to let her relax.
