The wish of the Qing Dynasty is fulfilled

Liu Zhu in the corner was very quiet and did not join in the quarrel between the two people.

Even when Zhen Huan and her mother were arguing fiercely, she reached out to pick up the food that fell on the ground, picked off the dirt on the steamed bun, and stuffed it into her mouth to chew.

As Liu Zhu chewed, tears finally fell.

I am a maid in the Zhen family, a slave who signed a contract to sell myself. This life has never belonged to me, but to the young lady who grew up with me.

Liu Zhu thought that she must take good care of the young lady and stay with her for a long time.

If the young lady encounters any danger in the future, I will protect her even at the cost of my own life!

She quarreled with Huanbi and grew up with the young lady. Those years were the happiest time in Liuzhu's life.

After entering the palace, the young lady became more and more unhappy. She said there were bad people in the palace, she said she was scared, she said life was too hard, she said... she didn't want to live like this anymore.

At that banquet, the cushions that Zhen Huan prepared in advance were carefully sewn by Liu Zhu, and she secretly filled them with cotton from her winter jacket.

Liu Zhu was very confused when she was sewing the cushion and she poked her hand several times. When Jin Xi saw the sparkling eyes, she found an excuse and said that she was crying because of the pain from the needle that she had pricked with her clumsy hands.

Actually not.

Liu Zhu had been learning to read and write with the young lady since she was young. She knew that what the young lady was going to do was a bad thing and not something a gentleman should do.

But she couldn't say anything bad about the young lady.

She could only quietly sew the cushion and fill it with softer stuffing, hoping that this would not hurt Shen Meizhuang and that this would prevent God from blaming the young lady too much.

Liu Zhu knew that he was sometimes too emotional, so the young lady would keep the most important things from him first, for fear that he would let the cat out of the bag.

Liu Zhu always pouted when she knew she was being kept in the dark, but she never blamed or resented the young lady.

She was unhappy only because she was worried about the young lady.

But she didn't know how many things the young lady had hidden from her.

Until that day, the young lady went to the Yangxin Palace and did not return for a long time. Two days after hearing the news, Cui Jinxi was transferred to take care of the old concubine. Everyone left and dispersed, but Liuzhu and Huanbi gritted their teeth and insisted on waiting for the young lady to come back.

Liu Zhuwan didn't expect that after a trip to the Ministry of Punishment, he would know Huanbi's identity. No wonder Huanbi was always so favored. He even teased her that she was like the second lady. It turned out that she really was the second lady.

Liu Zhu told herself not to think about why the second lady of the Zhen family was a slave like herself, and just wanted to make Huanbi happy.

But he didn't expect to witness what happened after Huanbi came back from being interrogated.

When Liu Zhu thought of the young lady using her most gentle tone to comfort Huanbi, but there always seemed to be something chilling hidden in her words, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

The lady is still the same lady, but she seems to no longer be a lady.

When Liu Zhu heard Huanbi finally admit that she was the sinner of the Zhen family, and cried and begged Zhen's mother to let her mother's tablet into the house one day, and finally asked her to remember to burn paper for her mother on her behalf every year on the anniversary of her mother's death, her fingers and heart grew colder.

Zhen Huan's mouth was still moving up and down, but Liu Zhu seemed to be unable to hear any sound and just stared blankly at her chin.

There is a tear that is about to fall but cannot.

It's beautiful, and terrifying.

Liu Zhu didn't want to recall all this anymore. As Zhen Huan and her mother argued, she swallowed the food in her hand in big mouthfuls.

In this life, her life belongs to the young lady. Whoever wants to take it can take it. She will definitely walk in front of the young lady. Even if she does something bad, she is still the young lady whom she swears to protect with her life.

If there is a next life, she hopes not to meet the lady again.

If possible, she would like to be a sister with Huanbi in the next life. She can be the elder sister, take good care of Huanbi, buy her a beautiful hair flower, and accompany her for a long and long life, so that she will not be let down and go on the road alone again.

……

Zhen Huan was silent for a long time before leaving.

She knew clearly that her predetermined ending could not be changed.

In the last moments of her life, she recalled the carefree time when she met Shen Meizhuang as a child and they became playmates.

She thought of Wen Shichu, who had always been waiting for her carefully and never rejected her.

I also remembered Huanbi who quietly called me "elder sister" at the last moment and cried with joy after receiving my response.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Although Zhen Huan didn't know where she lost, she could only accept the result of her defeat.

She wondered if she would choose not to enter the palace again if she had the chance to do it again, but when she asked herself honestly, she guessed she would still do so.

How could a proud person not want to see the most precious place in the world?

Before she lost her breath, a white light seemed to flash before Zhen Huan's eyes.

In that magical light curtain, she saw her happy life of pretending to be sick to avoid favor, getting to know the emperor, being in love with her lover, and sisters holding hands. It was very unreal but too beautiful.

Her breathing stopped, but there was a hint of a smile on her lips.

……

Shen Meizhuang was depressed for several days.

When she first learned that Zhen Huan was going to harm her, she was so angry that she wanted to pick up a knife and question her.

But after knowing that the other person was gone, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"She didn't really hurt me, did she?"

Wen Shichu raised his hand to find his philtrum, always ready to avoid the possibility of being knocked unconscious by the other party.

"I think she must have hurt your brain. The original one doesn't seem to be so stupid."

Even though Shen Meizhuang heard Wen Shichu saying strange things that she couldn't understand again, she could still feel that they were not good words. She immediately made a "tsk" sound and looked at him with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"My forehead is cold~~"

Hongjing ran over happily, scaring the wet nurses and palace maids behind him, who were afraid that the young master would fall down again.

The children of the royal family all wanted to be held in the arms of their servants until they were several years old, but Shen Meizhuang listened to Wen Shichu the most when it came to raising children. He said that if Hongjing could learn to walk by himself, then she would let him walk by himself.

As a result, Hongjing couldn't even walk without falling, and he learned to run. He fell countless times in a row. A while ago, he even hit his forehead and got a big red bump, which looked particularly funny.

Hongjing ran to Shen Meizhuang's side, and she immediately bent down, hugged her baby firmly, and then stood up again.

Even though they have seen it more than once, many young palace maids are still amazed by it.

Concubine Hui looks gentle and graceful, covered in books, but she is very strong at all. She holds the chubby Sixth Prince effortlessly!

Shen Meizhuang tilted her head slightly, and Hongjing suddenly moved forward.

"Boom——"

A kiss with the smell of milk fell on her cheek.

Shen Meizhuang also returned Hongjing's kiss, and both mother and son smiled with their eyes curved and giggled non-stop.

"Even though she didn't hurt me, that's still my luck. If I had fallen and hurt Hongjing, or something worse... I'd never have the chance to see my child again. Even if she died, it wouldn't have been enough to offset my grief."

"If she had merely argued with me, that would have been fine, but she shouldn't have disregarded other people's lives for unfounded reasons. She dared to attack me that day, and she'll be even more daring to kill others tomorrow. It's better that this ends sooner rather than later."

When Wen Shichu was about to go back to the Imperial Hospital to "punch out" from get off work, Shen Meizhuang suddenly spoke at great length without any context.

He turned his head to look at Shen Meizhuang, his right eyebrow raised inadvertently, and the corner of his mouth also drew a beautiful arc.

"It seems that eating more walnuts is helpful after all!"
