Tao Yao's heart sank, and she quickly thought about countermeasures.

"You are not a palace maid at all. Tell me, who are you and what are you doing in the palace?" the voice behind asked.

Tao Yao thought for a while, then turned around.

Seeing that it was a court lady, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be confused and said: "Why did my sister say that? I am a new court lady, if I do something wrong, please correct me."

The maid heard the words and looked at her suspiciously, "A new maid?"

"Exactly." Tao Yao nodded, "By the way, I was ordered to go to the imperial dining room to get refreshments. When I got here, I didn't know how to get there. Can my sister guide me?"

The palace maid looked at her carefully, Zhang Guifei said that this person was not a palace maid, but looking at her, it didn't look like she was lying.

But since Concubine Zhang Gui had doubts, it was impossible for her to listen to this person's one-sided words.

She thought about it, and suddenly said: "Okay, I'll take you there."

Tao Yao expressed gratitude, "Thank you sister."

The maid shook her head, but said in her heart: No matter whether you are a maid or not, you will know when you arrive at the Punishment Department.

"Let's go." She said lightly, walking ahead first.

Seeing this, Tao Yao quickly picked up a stone and carried it behind her back.

She didn't believe that the court lady would be so kind.

Since she suspected that she was not a court lady earlier, she must have not dispelled her doubts at the moment.

Now, if you take the initiative to say that you want to lead her the way, you must be cheating.

"Why are you dawdling? Why don't you walk faster?" The maid turned around and saw that she was walking slowly, and she was a little impatient.

"Okay." Tao Yao hurriedly nodded with a look of surprise.

Seeing this, the maid sneered coldly in her heart.

With such a submissive appearance, besides being a new maid, what else could she be?
She always felt that Zhang Guifei was worrying too much.

Thinking about it, she withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward.

But at this moment, with a "bang", there was a sharp pain in the back of her head.

She raised her hand to touch it, and it was covered in blood.

She turned her head in horror, and saw that the court lady in front of her who thought she was subservient was holding a blood-stained stone in her hand.

"You..." She was startled and angry, but she only said one word before her eyes darkened and she fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Tao Yao ignored her, threw the stone, and hurried to the east.

The movement here is afraid that people will find out soon, so she has to find Donggong quickly.

I met some people on the way, but luckily most of them were palace maids and eunuchs. It was nothing unusual to see her, and I didn't ask many questions.

After some twists and turns, she finally found the East Palace.

But how to enter the East Palace is another problem, because there are guards outside the gate of the East Palace.

She rushed forward, not only would they ignore her, they might even treat her as a suspicious person and arrest her.

At this time, Rong Niang may have found out that she had run away, so she had to hide in the East Palace first.

Thinking, she did not approach the main entrance of the East Palace, but walked around the palace wall.

To her disappointment, she couldn't find a place to enter because of the strict barriers of the Eastern Palace.

When she was in a hurry, she saw a hole under the wall.

She quickly squatted down to check, and found that it was a dog hole.

She gritted her teeth, this was not the time to be particular, she lowered her head resolutely, and crawled in through the dog hole.

After entering, she was stunned.

Seeing that this was an abandoned courtyard, to her horror, there was a chubby maid sitting beside the stone table overgrown with weeds.

The maid was eating, and when she saw her coming in through the dog hole, she was so shocked that the pastry in her hand fell to the ground.

Seeing her wide open mouth, Tao Yao was startled, afraid that she would shout, so she rushed over and covered her mouth.

The strength was not well controlled, and the two rolled into the weeds together.

The maid was stunned for a moment before she realized that she turned over and pinned Tao Yao down.

When Tao Yao was pressed down by her, she almost lost her temper.

In addition, she hadn't eaten in the first place, and after running and tossing for so long, she had exhausted her strength long ago.

Being pressed by the palace maid, he was stunned and couldn't push her away.

"You, let me go!" Tao Yao said breathlessly.

"Then you promise me first, you are not allowed to tell the steward that I am stealing food here." The palace lady held Tao Yao down with one hand and raised her chin.

Tao Yao: "..."

Originally, she didn't know how to deal with this court lady, but now she knows.

Because the other party personally gave her a handle.

It turned out that she was hiding here and stealing food just now.

"Okay, if you let me go, I won't say anything." Tao Yao said with a smile.

The maid was a little uneasy, looked down at her, and said viciously: "You have to do what you say, otherwise you will become a puppy and go to hell with your tongue pulled out after death."

"It's so vicious, can't I be scared?" Tao Yao looked terrified.

Sure enough, the maid let go of her with a cold snort.

As soon as Tao Yao was freed, she got up and walked to the table, picked up the pastry that the maid had not finished eating, and took a bite.

The pastry is very rough, but now, she doesn't dislike it at all, she just wants to eat a little bit, so she has strength.

"Hey, hey, that's my pastry, why did you eat it without asking me?" The maid saw it and yelled.

"You can speak louder, it's better to attract the supervisor." Tao Yao said unhurriedly.

When the maid heard this, she became hoarse.

"I'll treat you to better snacks when I leave the palace." Seeing her pained face, Tao Yao couldn't help but promised.

Unexpectedly, the court lady didn't appreciate it, she gave her a disdainful look, "Just you?"

If she remembers correctly, she was just digging a dog's hole just now, and she was even more downcast than her, so why did she invite her to eat better snacks?
"Forget it, if you are hungry, these pastries will be given to you." She waved her hand.

From her point of view, Tao Yao's face was pale, and she was in a state of embarrassment, probably because she had been bullied in this palace.

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Tao Yao didn't explain anymore, she just asked, "What's your name?"

"Why?" The palace maid looked alert, "You asked me for my name so that I could go to the steward and expose me? I won't tell you."

Tao Yao looked at her tiredly, "I'm not that boring, besides, you saw me digging into dog holes, and I'm afraid you will expose me."

"Then tell me first, what's your name?" the maid asked.

"Tao Yao." Tao Yao replied.

"Taoyao? The name sounds nice." The court lady nodded, "My name is Bichun."

Tao Yao nodded, "Your name sounds good too."

While talking, she had finished eating the pastries.

Looking at the empty plate, the corner of Bichun's mouth twitched, "How can you eat better than me?"

"I'm too hungry, I'm sorry." Tao Yao apologized.

"Which yard do you work in?" Bichun asked, "Although the nanny Ding above me is also very fierce, it's not enough to keep us from eating."

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Tao Yao didn't clarify, she just said: "My luck is bad, I met a villain."
