After watching the old doctor leave the palace, Nanxing turned around and was about to go back, but was stopped by someone beside a rockery.

"Begonia, Begonia!"

Nan Xing was stunned for a moment when she heard the name. Ever since she was brought back to Linglong Palace by Su Minglang, she hadn't heard anyone call her by this name for a long time. She immediately restrained her expression and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a familiar figure hiding behind the rockery and waving at her.

"Haitang, come here quickly!" When the woman saw Haitang looking at her, she waved her hands even harder.

"Lihua?" Nanxing looked at her with some confusion, but saw Lihua grab her arm and drag her behind the rockery.

"What are you doing!"

"Haitang, you're okay, I'm glad you're okay!" Lihua looked Haitang up and down, and was relieved to see that she didn't have any external injuries. "I went to the laundry department to ask, and heard that you were transferred away. I was confused, but now I see that you're okay, I'm finally relieved."

Nan Xing's eyebrows softened unconsciously when she heard this. "Lihua, you are not working in the palace now, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, oh, that's right!" Lihua said as if she suddenly remembered something: "That's right, that's right! The Queen asked me to come find you! The Queen wants to see you."

"Empress?" Nanxing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the Empress Lihua was talking about was the Concubine Li in Zhaohua Palace.

"Li, what does Concubine Li want me to do?" Nan Xing asked puzzledly.

"Is that even a question?" Lihua nudged her with her elbow. "Your hard times are over! The Queen said that as long as you go back and work for her, she won't hold you accountable for any of your previous mistakes."

"This..." Nan Xing turned his head away, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said calmly: "I am already serving Su Zhaoyi. It may be inconvenient for me to go to another palace."

"The Queen has magnanimously summoned you back to the palace, but you are still making excuses. Haitang, is it because the Queen is punishing you and you are holding a grudge?"

An arrogant and frivolous voice came. Lihua shuddered unconsciously when she heard it. She couldn't help but shiver when she looked at the person who came. "Mudan, Aunt Mudan."

The palace maid named Peony ignored Lihua and stared at Nanxing with her sharp eyes.

Nan Xing shrank subconsciously when he saw her, and called out with a trembling voice, "Aunt Mudan?"

The palace maid Peony, although her name sounds like a blooming flower, her behavior is not as graceful as a peony. She is ruthless and vicious in her actions. She is also a top-class palace maid in Concubine Li's palace. Everyone working in Zhaohua Palace is afraid of her, but they can only be angry but not speak out.

"Haitang, I just want to ask you one question, are you going or not?"

Nanxing lowered his eyes and thought for a while, trying to think about the current situation using Su Minglang's method.

Concubine Li sent her to the laundry department, which was an act that disregarded her life and death. Now that she entered Su Minglang's palace, Concubine Li found her instead and wanted to take her back.

Concubine Li wants her to deal with Su Zhaoyi!

Apart from this purpose, Nanxing couldn't think of any other possibilities, but Su Minglang saved Nanxing's life, how could such a favor be exchanged for a few words?

Nanxing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Just when Mudan was about to ask someone to tie her up and take her away, she finally nodded, raised her head with a touch of emotion in her eyes.

"Your servant, I really don't know how to say it!" Nan Xing stared at Mudan with eyes wide open, tears welling up in her eyes. "Your servant thought that I would never be able to return to the Empress in this lifetime."

"Your Majesty is so magnanimous. I am so moved that I am crying!"

"That's enough!" Mudan waved her hands impatiently, smiled sarcastically, and helped the man up calmly: "Since you are grateful to the queen, don't waste time here, hurry up and follow me to see the queen!"

Nanxing nodded hurriedly and pulled Lihua all the way to Zhaohua Mansion, looking impatient.

Mudan curled her lips in disdain behind him. Did she really think that the queen remembered her? If she was not still useful, no one would care even if she died in the laundry department!

"Empress, Empress!" Nanxing pushed the palace maid away and couldn't wait to kneel down in front of Concubine Li, which scared Concubine Li who was dressing up. She was about to curse, but when she saw the person's face clearly, the breath was stuck in her neck and she couldn't let it go up or down. She could only show a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Haitang? Get up quickly!" Concubine Li pretended to be calm and waved her hand to signal the palace maid to help her up.

Nanxing cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and crawled to Concubine Li, grabbed her long skirt, and wiped her tears and snot on her clothes.

Concubine Li had no way of expressing her grievances, so she could only swallow her anger. It was because she needed to win over this girl.

"When she is no longer useful, I will be the first one to break her neck!" Concubine Li thought fiercely in her heart.

"My Lady, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong! My Lady!" Nan Xing didn't care about her complaints and continued to bury her head in her long skirt and cry: "You don't know, the laundry department is not a place for human beings to stay."

"My lady, I will do my best to serve you in the future! Please, please don't send Haitang anywhere else!"

"Alright, alright, get up!" Concubine Li suppressed her nausea and disgust, and helped Nanxing up with a smile on her face, "Mudan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get some water to wash Haitang's face."

Concubine Li turned around and comforted her, "Don't cry, I will never send you to that kind of place again, don't cry."

"Haitang, I don't blame you for what you did. I really want to keep you here, but you are Zhaoyi's person now, so I..."

"Your Majesty!" Nan Xing wiped away the tears on her face and looked at Concubine Li with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, as long as you say the word, Haitang will come back to serve you!"

"You are a concubine, and Su Minglang is at best a Zhaoyi. You condescend to ask her for someone, so is she going to refuse to give it to you?"

Concubine Li looked away awkwardly, "I asked her for someone, so she would give it to me. But Haitang, I still have to consider your reputation. A loyal minister should not serve two masters!"

"You are right, Madam!" Nan Xing nodded fiercely: "You are right, a loyal minister does not serve two masters. In my heart, you are the only master!"

"My lady, even if I cannot return to you, I will always be loyal to you!"

"Are you willing to be loyal to me?" Concubine Li clapped her hands with a smile.

Mudan came up holding a silver hairpin and handed it to Concubine Li.

Concubine Li inserted the silver hairpin into Nanxing's hair and said, "Good boy, I will never let you suffer any loss."
