"Baoying, come here quickly and pour out the water." The nanny from the Ministry of Punishment waved her hand and called Baoying over.

Baoying exclaimed "Hey" and ran over quickly.

That’s right, she was Baoying, who was sent to the Ministry of Punishment by the former Noble Lady Fucha in order to protect herself not long after An Lingrong entered the palace.

Later, Xia Dongchun asked someone to use his connections to find Baoying a relatively easy job - to work for the maid of the Ministry of Punishment. Fortunately, Aunt Fangxi knew a maid of the Ministry of Punishment and was from the same hometown, so it was easier to get things done.

Baoying was already prepared. Sister Yinzhu came to see her a few days ago. She was happy knowing that she would be able to get out of the Ministry of Punishment soon.

Moreover, ever since she entered the Ministry of Punishment, Xia Dongchun has been taking good care of her family outside the palace. Even though she knew that this was definitely not done for no reason, Baoying was grateful in her heart.

Baoying was lying when she said she didn't hate An Lingrong. When she was assigned to An Lingrong's side, she planned to serve her well even though she heard people say that her master's family background was not very good.

Later, An Lingrong was always bullied by Noble Lady Fucha, and Baoying was also dissatisfied with Noble Lady Fucha, but she was just an ordinary palace maid, and the most she could do was to feel sorry for An Lingrong in her heart.

But Noble Lady Fucha looked down on An Lingrong and had a bad relationship with Xia Dongchun. Even Baoying could see through Noble Lady Fucha's intention that time, and it was clear that they could argue. For example, when Xia Dongchun heard that Yun Ling and the others were troubled by Noble Lady Fucha, she wanted to protect the people in her palace even if it meant offending others, but An Lingrong just pushed her out.

Baoying couldn't help but sneer when she thought of this. An Lingrong thought that by handing her over, she could live in peace with Noble Lady Fucha, but she didn't know that in this deep palace, the more you give in without any bottom line, the more others will dare to bully you.

Just as they were busy, Jianqiu arrived. The maid from the Ministry of Punishment hurried over to greet her with a smile: "Hey, what brings you here today, Aunt Jianqiu?"

Jian Qiu smiled and pointed at the person behind her: "This lowly maid actually dared to practice witchcraft in the palace and curse Concubine Zhao. The Queen Mother ordered me to send her to the Ministry of Punishment."

Behind Jianqiu was Baojuan, who was being held by two maids.

Baojuan was not so panicked at this moment. Although she came to the Ministry of Punishment, Jianqiu and Huichun had already told her before she came that it was just a show and she would not be really punished by pounding rice in the Ministry of Punishment. She only needed to follow the maids and do her work. After the storm died down, they would find a way to transfer her out of the Ministry of Punishment.

The maid from the Ministry of Punishment had a flattering smile on her face: "Don't worry, Aunt Jianqiu, leave this bitch to me. I will keep her and let her know the rules of the palace."

"Mammy, may I have a word with you?" Jianqiu indicated with her eyes that there were too many people around and some things were not suitable to be said here.

Baojuan felt more relieved now, thinking that Aunt Jianqiu should be able to help her smooth out the relationship.

Since the nanny had been in the palace for so many years, she must be a shrewd person. Upon hearing this, she smiled and walked aside with Jianqiu.

"This lowly maid committed such a big mistake in the palace and implicated Lady An, causing the Empress a lot of headaches." Jianqiu did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of her words was already very clear.

Sure enough, the nanny was very sensible: "Don't worry, Aunt Jianqiu, I am still capable of handling such a small matter. People who make the Queen worry like this should not be alive in this world."

"Okay, you don't need to tell me what you plan to do. Once this matter is done, I will definitely speak up for you in front of the Queen." Jianqiu ordered.

"Yes, yes, yes." The nanny responded with a smile.

"By the way, there is also a maid named Baoying in the Ministry of Punishment, right? The Queen Mother asked me to take her out." Jianqiu looked around and said casually.

The nanny turned around immediately: "Baoying, Baoying, come here."

He turned around and said in a flattering manner: "Aunt Jianqiu, please take this girl away."

Baoying walked over quickly and saw Jianqiu, her face full of fear: "This servant greets Aunt Jianqiu."

"From today on, you don't have to work in the Ministry of Punishment anymore. Go back and serve your former master." Jianqiu patted her shoulder.

Baoying looked flattered and couldn't believe it: "Really? Can this servant really go back to the young master?"

Jianqiu smiled secretly in her heart. As expected, a girl like this was the easiest to control. She nodded, affirming Baoying's words. When she took Baoying away, she looked at Baojuan meaningfully.

This glance gave Baojuan more confidence, and she believed that the Queen would definitely protect her.

After leaving the Ministry of Punishment, Jianqiu paused, turned around and asked Baoying in a low voice: "Do you know who your master will be from now on?"

Baoying seemed to be still immersed in the excitement of leaving the Ministry of Punishment: "I know that I will return to my master. My master is Miss An."

After waiting for a long time without any response from Jianqiu, Baoying looked up curiously.

Then Jian Qiu said, "You are wrong. You only have three masters. One is the Queen Mother, one is the Emperor, and the other is... the Queen. Do you understand?"

Baoying was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what Jianqiu meant and nodded vigorously: "I understand, I understand, my master is the Queen."

Jianqiu smiled with satisfaction: "You are quite clever. Let's go. Your life will be better from now on."

"Yes." Baoying followed Jianqiu excitedly. They had to hurry back to the Old Summer Palace.

The reason Jianqiu was able to come was because the Queen specifically ordered it, otherwise it would be impossible for her to come back now just to pick up a palace maid.
