I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Nan Xing left Zhaohua Palace, and the joy on her face instantly disappeared. She looked down at her tightly held hand, feeling mixed emotions.

She once envied those favored palace maids and eunuchs. Even when she was punished and sent to the laundry department, she thought that maybe one day she would be able to walk out again.

But now that she has really walked out, Concubine Li is willing to give her a chance to be loyal, but everything has changed.

Nanxing took a deep breath and looked up at the blue sky that he had seen countless times. It was still so broad and narrow.

"The Queen has treated me so well that it's like giving me a second life. No matter what, Nanxing, you must not have any thoughts that you shouldn't have!"

"Haitang! What are you thinking about?"

Lihua suddenly appeared behind her and patted her shoulder gently, "Hey! Haitang!"

"What!" Nanxing turned around suddenly and grabbed Lihua's wrist, "Lihua?"

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"Oh, oh! Sorry!" Nanxing didn't let go of her hand until he heard Lihua cry out in pain, and apologized in panic.

"Forget it!" Lihua waved her hand nonchalantly, looking at her wrist which was red from being held with heartache, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"

"Could it be..." Lihua narrowed her eyes and looked at Nanxing mysteriously.

Nan Xing felt uncomfortable with her expression and looked away at a loss. She was not sure if Lihua heard her mumbling. "What? I didn't think about anything."

"Hehe!" Lihua obviously didn't believe it. "I know you can't come back now, you must be very disappointed, but!"

Lihua patted Nanxing's shoulder in a condescending manner and consoled her: "But didn't the queen say there would be a way? Don't worry, don't worry!"

"Ah? Ah!" Nan Xing smiled strangely, then realized that he had misunderstood, so he went along with her words: "You also know that life in the laundry department is not easy, I really don't want to go back."

"Although Her Majesty is willing to let me go back, I am now a member of Su Zhaoyi's palace. Even if I really go back, I am afraid that the fact that I have served two masters will make Her Majesty feel uneasy."

"Alas!" Nan Xing sighed, "Lihua, you also know that the true and false things between the ladies in the palace are not something that we little palace maids can see through."

"Ah!" Lihua also sighed, "You're right, this is something we really need to think about!

"But hasn't Su Zhaoyi ever worried about this issue?"

"Of course there is!" Nan Xing said calmly in a low voice, "What do you think palace maids like us can do? Isn't Su Zhaoyi just like other masters, she only trusts the people she brings with her. Ordinary palace maids like us can only do hard labor such as sweeping and cleaning, not to mention someone like me who comes from a poor family?"

"Haitang..." Lihua looked at Nanxing with eyes full of heartache, "It's hard for you, Haitang!"

Nanxing looked at Lihua's genuinely distressed expression and couldn't help feeling guilty, but she had no choice. At least Concubine Li was right about one thing.

Loyal ministers are not two masters.

And she got rid of the name Haitang and is now just Nanxing, the Nanxing of Linglong Palace.

"Xiao Ye," Su Minglang frowned and stretched out his hand to push open the window, "Why hasn't Nanxing come back after seeing someone off for so long?"

"Master, do you need me to take a look?"

"Forget it," Su Minglang suddenly felt a little irritated, "Wait for her to come back and bring her to see me."

"Yes, master."

"By the way, Master, the Queen's Palace sent a letter earlier, and they want to invite you to come tomorrow."

"Hmm?" Su Minglang put down the teacup and nodded, "Did your Majesty tell me what it was about?"

Xiao Ye shook his head, "I never said that."

"Hmm..." Su Minglang pondered for a while, "Forget it, let's go and take a look tomorrow."

"At worst, I can just counter it."

"master!"

Su Minglang frowned and looked at the person at the door with displeasure, "Come in."

Nan Xing bowed and glanced at the palace servants around her, "Master, I have already escorted the person out of the palace."

"Heh!" Su Minglang suddenly threw the teacup out heavily, "I asked you to escort someone to the palace gate, but you took so long? This palace does not accept sneaky people!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are innocent!" Nan Xing fell to the ground in panic, kowtowed repeatedly, and her whole body trembled non-stop. "Your Majesty, I did delay some time on the road, but I am definitely not a sneaky person, Your Majesty, please understand!"

"Humph!" Su Minglang angrily threw the teacup at her, "You daring and unruly slave, how dare you quibble!"

"My queen, I didn't, I really didn't!" Nan Xing fell to the ground and sobbed, "My queen, please believe me, please believe me for once! My queen!"

"Enough!" Su Minglang waved his hand, "Come here, pass the staff!"

"Empress, Empress!" Nanxing looked at the long wooden board, which was three fingers wide and was brought to her by the servant, in horror, and her body trembled even more violently.

"My queen, please, please, for the sake of my service to you, don't let me be punished in public!"

"Humph! I want to punish you, and you still allow me to quibble?"

"My Lady, please, My Lady!"

Xiao Ye listened to Nan Xing's crying and her heart ached uncontrollably. After all, she was the one who brought Nan Xing back home personally, and she watched Nan Xing grow up from being timid to being able to work for her master day by day.

The master usually trusted her a lot, but today he suddenly wanted to punish her so harshly. Xiao Ye felt uneasy.

She couldn't bear to see Nan Xing crying so hard that she couldn't help but speak for her in a low voice: "Master, can you please forgive her just once?"

"How dare you!" Su Minglang scolded, "When the master is doing something, is it your turn to make the decision?"

"Your servant, your servant..." Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, looking at the master in front of her with a bit of unfamiliarity, "Your servant knows your mistake."

"Forget it!" Su Minglang snorted coldly, "Since Xiaoye is begging for you, I will let you go this time."

"Xiao Ye, you stay here to carry out the execution, everyone else get out!"

The palace maids nearby all lowered their heads and dared not speak, for fear that their master's wrath would suddenly fall on them. Even Xiaohe and Xiaoqing at the side dared to lower their heads and silently retreat among the palace maids.

Su Minglang keenly noticed that someone among the heads was glancing at her covertly.

Seeing that all the irrelevant people had left, Su Minglang stood up with a cold face and slowly walked to Nanxing, lowering his voice and asking, "What's going on?"
