My Lady is well

Shen Yueyao also laughed when she found out that Li Ning was just a mortal.

But his smile made people inexplicably frightened, and Shen Yueyao subconsciously took two steps back.

Li Ning did not let her go and took two steps forward. His strong aura forced her to retreat again and again.

Until her heels were hanging in the air, she tilted her head slightly and looked back, and the green lake was right under her feet.

One more step back and she would fall.

Li Ning was half a head taller than her, and stood in front of her, completely covering her.

Jin'er was far away and couldn't see what was happening. She could only see the corners of the green clothes being blown up by the breeze.

Therefore, I dare not act rashly.

Li Ning reached out and pinched her jaw, saying coldly.

"Afraid? I really don't know whether to call you naive or stupid. Do you really think that you can be so presumptuous just because your stupid and pig-like personal maid is keeping watch for you?"

Shen Yueyao's jaw was pinched by her and it hurt. She frowned, clenched her palms, and met her gaze.

"Concubine Li, you are joking. I know that I am of low status, so I dare not act recklessly in the East Palace."

"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me. What? Do you think I won't kill you just because you were lucky enough to escape last time?"

"Concubine Li just said she owed me her life, why are you trying to renege on it now?"

Li Ning shook his head and looked at her coldly.

"You are such a thoughtful woman, I don't want to owe you anything."

Shen Yueyao's heart sank. If this woman went crazy, she might really kill her.

Soon, she felt that it was unlikely. At that time, the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince were fighting openly and secretly, and the Li family sent her to the East Palace, which explained the attitude of the Li family.

If she really did something out of line in the East Palace at this time, it would be inevitable that someone would doubt her motives.

"How do you want to kill me, Concubine Li? You drowned Chen Wei last time because you didn't want to leave any traces on him. That way people would believe that he really fell into the water because he was drunk. My appearance forced you to change your plan. If you attack me again at this time, given the Crown Prince's temper, Concubine Li will be in trouble, and it might even implicate the General's Mansion. What do you think... is that right?"

Li Ning lowered his brows and thought for a while, then stared at her, slowly withdrew his hand, and looked at her and said.

"You are an interesting person. I suddenly don't want to kill you. Life in the palace is long. Let's see if you can let me let you go every time like today."

Shen Yueyao was stunned. Li Ning's behavior was different from that of an ordinary person. She was not sure whether she could let her go because of those words or they were just said on a whim.

The blue lake is sparkling, and as it passes around the rockery and through the winding corridor, it is a different kind of scenery.

In the small courtyard with red walls, peach blossoms are blooming quietly, and the bright light fills the entire courtyard, making people forget the hustle and bustle outside as soon as they step into this place.

Shen Yueyao sat lazily under the pavilion drinking tea. It would be nice if she could stay in this small courtyard and spend her days in peace, enjoying the long time.

Jin'er massaged her back with moderate force, very professionally.

I raised my eyes and saw Qiuju looking at me furtively.

She paused her movements, stamped her feet, and spat softly.

"What is this bitch trying to do? If she dares to betray her master, I will skin her alive."

The most powerful thing about Jin'er is her mouth.

Shen Yueyao put down the teacup, frowned slightly, put down the teacup, raised the end of her eyebrows, and slightly raised her head to look at her.

"Who are you scolding again?"

She gave him a look: "Master, look."

Only then did she realize Qiu Ju was hesitating and looking frightened outside the yard.

Jin'er is not usually very tolerant towards the people below her.

I guess he saw her and wanted to come in but didn't dare to.

Shen Yueyao sighed softly: "Go and ask her to come in."

"Yes."

Jin'er's impatient look was like looking at an annoying bug. Her gaze stayed on Qiuju, as if she wanted to poke a few holes in her.

She said a few words to Qiuju in a domineering manner, and Qiuju could only blush and lower her head, not daring to look her in the face.

I guess it's not a very pleasant thing to say.

Qiu Ju came over and bowed: "Meet the Master."

"But is there anything you want to tell me?"

Qiuju's voice was as soft as a mosquito's. Shen Yueyao could hardly hear her. She glanced at Jin'er with trembling eyes.

Shen Yueyao understood. Jin'er had been like this for a long time. It would be difficult for her to change it all at once.

After entering the palace, he has restrained himself a lot and only dares to act arrogantly at home. If he were in his previous residence, he would have taken action long ago.

"You don't have to be afraid of her. Just speak your mind."

Qiuju then nodded and spoke slowly.

"...Yesterday, I heard Sister Zhiyu from Yuexuan come to ask about how many times the prince has come to Liufengxuan this month. Also...what did the master go to Changning Palace for."

Shen Yueyao's brows sank slightly. It was understandable that Yang Li asked how many times the prince had come to Liu Fengxuan.

But she asked about Changning Palace. What was she trying to do? Was she dealing with her or the Crown Princess?

In her mind, she labeled Yang Li as a dangerous person, after all, she was really cruel and ruthless.

Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "I understand. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me directly.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Jin'er: "Don't embarrass Qiuju in the future."

Jin'er let out a soft "oh" and lowered her head.

Qiuju bit her lip, with a hint of fear and sadness in her eyes, and continued.

"Master, I heard that Sister Huizhu from Tingyuxuan...is gone."

She almost whispered the last two words.

Shen Yueyao's expression paused, and she immediately realized what she meant by "no more". She asked with her long eyelashes flickering.

"Why not?"

Qiu Ju lowered her head and shook her head: "I don't know either. Sister Huizhu and I are from the same hometown. She works at Tingyuxuan. Just now, I asked Sister Zhiyu about her, but Sister Zhiyu just told me not to ask anymore, saying that she was unlucky and had passed away. So I didn't dare to ask."

A living person just disappeared for no reason and we can't even ask about it.

Shen Yueyao suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. The red wall in front of her looked as red as blood, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Since hearing Qiu Ju talk about the palace maid named Huizhu, no one has ever mentioned her again, as if she had never appeared in this world.

When the Crown Princess asked whether more servants were needed in each place, Yang Li only mentioned briefly that a maid in Tingyuxuan had committed suicide by jumping into a well because she had stolen something.

The Crown Princess just frowned, remained silent for a moment, and did not pursue the matter any further.

I just told them to control their servants in every place, and not to lose sight of the big picture and cause trouble, which would spread outside and hurt the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Shen Yueyao raised her eyes and glanced at the Crown Princess. Her mind was now filled with the matter of co-organizing the palace banquet and how to send Song Yayuan to the East Palace.

The life and death of a little palace maid is far less important than these major events.

The whole palace was filled with splendor and splendor, but it was stained with blood.

People are divided into men and women, men are superior and women are inferior, and they are also divided into different classes.

The life of a lowly palace maid is worthless.

If one dies, just replace him with another.

Shen Yueyao clenched her fists. She couldn't accept such a thing, and she would not allow herself to add another touch of red to this red wall.

No matter what, she had to find a way to save herself.
