To Zhaodi, the past was so unbearable to look back on.

Although, she tried very hard to keep herself calm and try her best not to let the Queen notice her strange emotions.

But I can’t control it…

She really couldn't control it. At this moment, thinking of those unbearable past events, her body was shaking violently.

Thinking of my three sisters...

Just when Qiu'er was confused and didn't understand what was going on, she looked at Zhaodi's tears and they were like a flood that had been opened. In just a moment, they rushed out rapidly.

Apparently—

Qiu'er also noticed that something was wrong. She hugged Zhaodi's thin shoulders and kept comforting her: "Hey Zhaodi, don't cry. Tell the queen what happened. The queen will seek justice for you."

"mother--"

Qiu'er wanted to say something to comfort her, but was interrupted by Yu Huan's calm voice: "Qiu'er."

Qiu Er didn't understand what was going on, so she looked at her own queen: "My queen?"

"It's getting late, why don't you go back to Zhaodi and rest?"

"what?"

Qiu'er was stunned at first, looking puzzled, but then she thought that this was the Queen's order, and the Queen must have her own intentions when she said so.

She looked at Zhaodi with some worry, but nodded: "Come on, Zhaodi, I'll help you go back and have a good rest."

Zhaodi almost forgot how to respond to her. At that moment, it was as if her soul had been drained out of her in an instant. She was supported by Qiu'er and left the hall.

Outside the palace, Nanny Yue was worried.

It was because of the incident in the Prime Minister's Mansion where the second young lady was beaten with thirty sticks by the master and the mistress.

Later she heard that the thirty punishments were because the eldest daughter went to the master and the mistress to complain about the second daughter and speak ill of her, which led to the master and the mistress beating the second daughter with thirty strokes of the cane in anger.

Although Nanny Yue's favorite person is the eldest daughter, she also watched the second daughter grow up since she was a child. In her heart, she obviously has long regarded the second daughter as her own daughter.

No matter whether it was the eldest lady or the second lady, they were all hers. For no reason, in her impression, the second lady was so obedient during her years in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was obvious that she was even more obedient than the eldest lady, and made the master and his mistress less worried.

But the eldest lady...

Because of Yu Baozhu's entry into the palace, Nanny Yue was very prejudiced against Yu Baozhu. Now after hearing the news that the second young lady was beaten, the thirty sticks hitting Yu Zhenzhu were like hitting her, which made Nanny Yue feel very uncomfortable.

As a result, Nanny Yue was thinking so seriously that her mind was almost entirely filled with the Second Young Lady, and she completely ignored Qiu'er who was helping Zhaodi out.

It was not until they walked up to her and were about to pass by her that Nanny Yue finally came to her senses and looked at Qiu'er and Zhaodi who were about to walk away.

Probably because she noticed that Zhaodi was in a weird mood, which was very different from usual, Yue Ma looked at Zhaodi suspiciously. After staring at Zhaodi for a while, she squinted at Qiu'er and said, "What's wrong with Zhaodi? Where are you taking her?"

Qiu'er's attitude towards Nanny Yue was not very friendly, and she showed no respect at all.

But the queen did not say what she was going to do to Nanny Yue, and after the eldest lady's visit to the palace last time, Nanny Yue did indeed restrain herself a lot.

Hearing Nanny Yue's question, Qiu'er just glanced at her and said, "Zhao Di is feeling a little unwell. I will follow the Empress's instructions and help Zhao Di go back to rest first."

"uncomfortable?"

It was obvious that Nanny Yue could not believe these three words so easily.

Besides, she had just come out from inside, and Zhaodi was fine when she came out. How come she suddenly felt unwell?

There must be something wrong here. Seeing that Qiu'er was deliberately hiding something from her and Zhaodi was obviously a little confused at this critical moment, she naturally couldn't get a reasonable answer even if she wanted to ask.

Thinking of this, Nanny Yue simply went straight into the hall.

Who would have thought that seeing Nanny Yue enter the hall so quickly, Qiu Er would curse at her from behind: "I don't know what the queen wants to keep you around, hoping that something bad will happen to us all day long! You old thing with bad intentions!"

Nanny Yue had just left, and she obviously heard Qiu'er scolding her behind her.

Immediately, her back stiffened suddenly, but it was only stiff for a moment and she didn't say anything.

Because she couldn't say anything.

After all, today is different from the past, and she is no longer in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At least Yu Huan was not favored at that time, and as a popular figure around the lady, naturally everyone had to respect her, including Yu Huan, the unfavored third lady, who also had to act according to her mood.

The situation is different now. Even the eldest lady whom she had been longing for came to the palace, hoping that she would seek justice for her. But the eldest lady poured a basin of cold water on her, extinguishing all her hopes in an instant.

From that moment on, Nanny Yue knew that her current situation made it impossible for her to be arrogant anymore.

Therefore, she still understands the truth that a man who knows the times is a hero.

……

In the hall, Zhaodi's reaction made Yu Huan suspicious, but he thought that it was all Zhaodi's family affairs. After all, every family has its own problems, and Zhaodi is obviously one of them.

But Zhaodi’s family affairs seem a bit serious?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so emotional when she mentioned her three sisters.

But she also knew that if Zhaodi wanted to tell her, she would have told her long ago.

Since Zhaodi doesn't want to say it, it means that Zhaodi doesn't want to tell others about her family affairs. She chooses to respect her on this point.

Not long after Qiu'er helped Zhaodi out, she saw Nanny Yue coming in from outside with a sneaky look on her face.

The moment he saw Nanny Yue, Yu Huan didn't even need to keep his eyes on her for long, he knew why she came in.

Yu Huan just took a sip of tea and acted as if she didn't notice Nanny Yue coming in.

Finally, Nanny Yue came in and bowed to her, "Your Majesty the Queen."

Hearing the voice, Yu Huan's eyes fell on her, and then she nodded: "It's Nanny Yue? What's the matter? It's so late, Nanny Yue, you don't want to do your job, do you have something to say to me?"

Nanny Yue paused for a moment, then said respectfully, "Your Majesty, just now I saw Zhaodi with a pale face being supported by Qiu'er out..."

At this point, Nanny Yue paused for a moment, then looked at Yu Huan cautiously and tentatively: "Queen, what happened? I saw Zhao Di's face turned extremely pale, as if she had lost her soul."

Hearing this, Yu Huan sneered and looked at Nanny Yue with amusement. She first took a sip of tea, then lowered her head, not knowing whether she was talking to herself or to Nanny Yue: "Is it so idle tonight? Or are there too few errands in Kunning Palace? Instead of doing your own work, you all come here to gossip about me?"

After experiencing the lessons from the previous few times, Nanny Yue learned her lesson this time. At least in front of Yu Huan, she learned to respect her master Yu Huan.

She paused for a moment, then expressed her concerns: "Empress, I will tell you the truth. Please don't be angry. Although Zhaodi is a servant that you like, she is also very sensible. In this regard, I have had some conflicts with Zhaodi in the past. But to be honest, Zhaodi is a capable servant and can please her master. It's just that..."

"only……"

She left some words behind.

Hearing these two sentences, Yu Huan laughed: "Oh? Just what?"

"only……"

Nanny Yue looked at Yu Huan seriously: "But doesn't your Majesty doubt Zhao Di's identity?"

"Although there are many servants in the harem, I have already doubted the identity of a palace maid as beautiful as Zhaodi the moment she appeared in Kunning Palace."

It was obvious that Yu Huan understood the meaning of Nanny Yue's words.

Apart from anything else, Zhaodi's face alone is indeed outstanding enough.

Because Zhaodi's face was not destined to be a slave.

But she ended up in Kunning Palace, doing the lowest level of work just like the other palace maids.

If he hadn't lived his life over again, even if Nanny Yue was not his own, Yu Huan would still have doubted what she said because it was reasonable and well-founded.

Zhaodi suddenly appeared in Kunning Palace, and such a beautiful palace maid appeared in her Kunning Palace. I'm afraid everyone would be suspicious.

Otherwise, in her previous life, when Yu Baozhu entered the palace, she would not have thought of a way to kill Zhaodi after seeing her beauty, even without any evidence. It was obviously because Zhaodi's face was too stunning.

Seeing that Yu Huan stopped talking, Nanny Yue thought that Yu Huan had listened to her kind reminder.

She paused for a moment, giving Yu Huan enough time to think about her words. When she thought the time was almost up, she continued, "Although I don't know what the queen and Zhaodi said in the hall just now, which led to Zhaodi being supported by Qiu'er as if she had lost her soul. But your queen, I admit that I was disrespectful to you before and did many things that made you unhappy. But this time, I sincerely want to remind you to pay more attention to Zhaodi, so that she won't..."

Nanny Yue didn't need to speak to her in such a condescending tone. Her words and actions all acted like a servant. Naturally, Yu Huan wouldn't care so much about her. As long as what she said made sense and it sounded like she was really thinking about her, Yu Huan would listen to what Nanny Yue said.

After Nanny Yue finished saying these words, her eyes fell on me, as if she was expecting my answer.

Yu Huan just smiled and said, "I have made up my mind about this matter, so there is no need for Nanny Yue to worry about it. Just go and do your own thing."
