The Sixth Prince coughed and said, "What can I say? It's just something I did on a whim."

After that, he walked straight away.

"Your Highness..." Zhao Ziqing still hoped to awaken his conscience.

As expected, I overestimated his conscience and he left without looking back.

It's really cruel.

Zhao Ziqing fell to his knees with a thud.

She cried bitterly, "My Lady, I am of low status and could not resist. I was forced to do this!"

Zhang Rulan was furious at her lack of resistance. "If you were really forced, then you should go with me to see the emperor and let him seek justice for you!"

Zhao Ziqing argued again, "Your Majesty, if the matter gets out of hand, how can Ziqing live with dignity? Besides, Prince Zhuo is the emperor's biological son, and I am just a little maid. How could the emperor protect me?"

"You also know why you want to provoke the prince?"

Zhang Rulan was so angry that her chest hurt. "Forget it. You have always been a person with your own opinions. You must not be willing to be a maid beside me. Whether you are forced or deliberate, I can't control you! From now on, we are no longer master and servant, nor are we friends!"

"Madam!" Zhao Ziqing went up to hug her thighs, "Madam, you know Ziqing has nowhere else to go. Ziqing only has you."

Zhang Rulan pulled back her legs cruelly and said weakly, "I am useless as a master. I can't protect you. You should find another better choice!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Empress..." Zhao Ziqing still wanted to struggle.

Song Bushi stopped her, "Miss Ziqing, why don't you go and ask the Sixth Prince for help? Since you are his woman, he will definitely not care about your life or death! Besides, isn't this exactly what you want?"

Zhao Ziqing stared at her, "Xiaoyu? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to watch the show! Ziqing, you really are... a stubborn person."

Zhao Ziqing said angrily, "You are just a little maid, what right do you have to talk to me like this? If my family hadn't fallen into poverty, I would still be a noble lady!"

"Haha, what a noble lady! Is she the most shameless lady, the one who only climbs into men's beds?"

"You..." Zhao Ziqing was so angry that she pounced on her and hit her.

Song Bushi kicked forward, using all his strength.

Zhao Ziqing was no match for her at all. After being kicked down, she held her stomach with a painful expression.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Bitch, all of you bullied me. One day, I will kill all of you!"

Song Bushi grabbed her hair and slapped her hard several times.

He cursed back, "Bitch, next time you do something shameless like this, don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Zhao Ziqing wanted to bite her to death, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes.

No one expected that the Sixth Prince would come back again.

Seeing Zhao Ziqing being beaten, she stepped forward and pushed Song Bushi away, "Which palace are you from? How dare you act like a bully here!"

Zhao Ziqing immediately rushed over, "My Lord, please save this servant."

The Sixth Prince helped her up, without any sympathy on his face.

I was just annoyed. "Alright, stop crying and leave the palace. Do you really have to make a big deal out of this? You have no shame, but I still have some."

Zhao Ziqing said aggrievedly, "Princess Han doesn't want Ziqing anymore, and Ziqing is homeless now! Master, Ziqing is yours after all, you can't just ignore her."

The corners of Zhuo's mouth twitched, and he replied stiffly, "Even if I want to take a concubine, I can't take a daughter of a criminal! If you are good, I will visit you when I have time, but you can't be greedy."

Zhao Ziqing's face looked extremely ugly, and she kept crying out of grievance.

But he didn't dare to ask for anything more, so he retreated.

As soon as Zhao Ziqing left, Song Bushi also turned around and left.

The Sixth Prince called out to her, "Wait a minute, I just asked you a question and you didn't reply. Which palace are you from?"

"From Jingyang Palace."

"From Jingyang Palace?" Prince Zhuo looked at her. "Why do you look unfamiliar?"

"I just entered the palace today and I am the princess's cook."

"I see! No wonder you don't know the rules."

Song Bushi had a sullen face, and Prince Zhuo walked closer, shaking his head and fanning himself.

He warned, "You'd better not talk nonsense about what happened today. If any rumors spread, I will be the first to question you."

He frivolously lifted her chin with a fan, but Song Bushi simply knocked it away without giving him any face.

Prince Zhuo was shocked. "Oh, you have quite a personality! Are you trying to attract my attention on purpose?"

Song Bushi looked disgusted, "You think too much, I am really disgusting."

His face darkened and he said angrily, "You mean, this king is disgusting? It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how to be afraid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took action.

Song Bushi was well prepared, but he didn't expect Yuwen Yue to suddenly rush over, pretending to be passing by, "Oh, it's my sixth brother!"

The Sixth Prince quickly withdrew his hand and said, "It's Fourth Brother, why are you here too?"

The Fourth Prince calmly pulled Song Bushi aside.

He replied, "I was bored, so I wandered around and just happened to run into you. You said it was a coincidence, this imperial garden is too small!"

"Not really." The Sixth Prince saw that he was defending Song Bushi and asked, "Does Fourth Brother know this maid?"

Yuwen Yue smiled and said, "I know her. This woman is not a palace maid, but Ao Shuang's new cook. As you know, Shuang'er is the pickiest eater, but she likes the food cooked by this new cook very much. Princess Aoxue is also very satisfied. Father should be very happy too!"

The Sixth Prince thought to himself, it’s a good thing that he didn’t do anything just now, “I just remembered that I still have some things to deal with, let’s drink together when we have time.”

Before the Fourth Prince could finish his words, he disappeared.

Song Bushi was afraid of missing lunch, so he hurried to Jingyang Palace.

"Hey, you are so rude. I just helped you. Why did you leave without saying anything?"

He ran after her, following her like a bee after a flower.

The Fourth Prince held her back and said, "Hey, why do I feel like you look familiar?"

He stared at her face intently. He did have an impression of this face. Where had he seen it before?

And this look, the feeling of speaking, is inexplicably familiar!

"I am Xiaoyu, the maidservant of Princess Heng."

The Fourth Prince suddenly remembered, "Yes, yes, yes... I was discovered by you once when I sneaked to see her. At that time, you even suspected the relationship between me and Princess Heng! No, why are you here?"

Song Bushi crossed his arms over his chest and said, "I was kicked out of the palace by the princess. How did the Fourth Prince know that I was the new cook of Jingyang Palace?"

He pointed at the clothes she was wearing, "This set of clothes is only available in Jingyang Palace. It's obvious that she's a cook. I know almost all the maids in this palace, but the cooks in Jingyang Palace are the ones that are replaced the fastest."

"You're quite smart."

"Of course I am smart! But why did Princess Heng chase you away?"

"Go ask her."

Song Bushi ignored him and continued walking forward with a cold attitude.

He said unhappily, "Hey, I am a prince after all, what's your attitude, girl?"
