"Oh?" Yun Shang's eyes were still fixed on the maid," As far as I know, all the servants in the palace are cleaned. How can you be pregnant then?"

The maid hurriedly replied, "I'm not lying. Yu Shu used to tell me that he narrowly escaped from the test when he entered the palace."

"How long have you known each other?" Yun Shang asked again.

The maid thought for a while and said softly, "Less than two months."

"I hope you didn't lie to me. Qin Yi, go to ask if there is a servant named Yu Shu in the Jingyang Palace." Yun Shang turned around and whispered to Qin Yi. Qin Yi replied and left.

Seeing that the maid's face was pale with pain, Yun Shang took out a silver needle and said to her, "Lie down."

Looking at the silver needle in Yun Shang's hand, the servant was a little scared. But she didn't dare to disobey her. She quickly lay down on the bed without batting. After Yun Shang finished, the maid felt much better.

Qin Yi also came back soon. She frowned and shook her head at Yun Shang saying, "Your Highness, there is no servant named Yu Shu in the Jingyang Palace. In fact, the Jingyang Palace has been empty for the past two years. There is no one else except the cleaning servants."

Hearing this, the maid, who was still lying on the bed, suddenly raised her head. The astonishment on her face did not seem to be false. "How can it be? It's impossible. I have met him many times in the Jingyang Palace. There are also many servants in the palace, as well as many patrols coming and going at night. "

Yun Shang understood. She looked up at the maid and asked, "When did you meet him most of the time? And how did you know each other? "

The maid hurriedly said, "We usually meet at night. More than a month ago, the maid in my room had a high fever, so I went to the Imperial Hospital to look for a physician. But I lost my way when I went back. I met Yu Shu outside the Jingyang Palace. He sent me back. "

"So he is quite familiar with the palace?" Yun Shang frowned.

The maid nodded, "Yes."

Yun Shang paced back and forth in the room before turning to the maid, "You lied to me just now, but I'm willing to give you a chance to make amends. Do you want it?"

The maid nodded incessantly, "Yes, I do."

"Good..." Yun Shang smiled, "You can rest here today. I'll tell you later how you will ...?" Make amends. "

Yun Shang left Qian Zhuo in the room to look after her, and then took Qin Yi to the side hall to look for Lin Youran.

Lin Youran had just lost her baby, and had just gone through hell. She was very weak, so she had to lie in bed and have a rest. As soon as Yun Shang entered the outer hall, she saw Qian Bi, Lin Youran's maid, come up in a hurry, "Your Highness, please help persuade his highness."

Yun Shang frowned, "What's wrong with your higness?"

Qian Bi hurriedly said, "Since the accident of his highness, she has been depressed. She has been lying on the bed and crying all day long, and she is unwilling to take medicine."

"Nonsense,

ay. If there is any news later, I'll send someone to the Meeting Hall to send you a message."

Luo Qingyan nodded and went back to the Meeting Hall.

As soon as Luo Qingyan left, Yun Shang entered the room where the previous maid stayed. The maid seemed to have recovered. Seeing Yun Shang come in, the maid drew back her neck and curtsied to her.

Yun Shang sat down, stared at her for a long time, and said, "I don't know your name yet."

The maid trembled again and hurriedly said, "My name is Ming Shui served in the Zhongcui Palace."

Yun Shang nodded. She not surprised at all. The other masters' palaces were strictly guarded with a curfew, after which, no one was allowed to enter or leave the palace at will. The Zhongcui Palace was the place where beauty candidates lived before they were conferred the title. Now that Xia Huanyu had dismissed the imperial household, most of the beauty candidates selected last year must have been sent out of the palace. There was no one in the Zhongcui Palace now, and that was why the maids met their lovers in private every night.

"It's not difficult to make amends. You will go back to the Zhongcui Palace later. If others ask you, tell them that you have been cured by me. Everything will go on as usual. Don't let anyone notice anything wrong. At night... " Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I tell you, pretend that nothing has happened today and go to meet Yu Shu again."

"Well..." Ming Shui frowned and seemed to be in a difficult state.

Yun Shang smiled, "He hides everything from you. Do you still want to cover him up? And now you have no choice. "

"Yes, I will," Ming Shui said in a hurry.

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Then you can go back to the Zhongcui Palace."

Ming Shui bowed to Yun Shang again and staggered to her feet.

"Qin Yi, go and see her off," Yun Shang ordered Qin Yi with a smile. Qin Yi turned around and glanced at Yun Shang. Both of them exchanged glances quickly. Then Qin Yi followed Ming Shui out.
