It was hot and dry in the afternoon, except for a little humming of cicadas, the whole palace was quiet and very drowsy.

The two little maids who were ordered to monitor Tang Xueyao were no exception, sitting on the ground and dozing off with their chins propped up.

Suddenly, a roar broke their doze.

Before she could react, the door was kicked open by Amei, accompanied by a contemptuous question: "Is this how you entertain guests in Shuning Palace?"

After that, Alan looked very bad, pulled Amei's sleeve and said, "Calm down, don't cause trouble for the princess."

"I can't calm down!"

Amei threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, and the sound of ceramic shattering made the two little maids curl up their shoulders.

"Look for yourselves, what kind of water are you giving us to drink!"

The little maid looked down and saw that besides the fragments of the teacup and traces of the tea, there were grains of soil on the ground.

"You Shuning Palace dare to let our concubine drink soil water, I'm going to tell the concubine, let her punish you little girls who are not reliable!"

As Amei said, she grabbed a little girl's sleeve and kept walking.

"I didn't..." The court lady explained helplessly, looking at the other court lady: "We've been here all this time, we never went in at all."

Another court lady also came to chime in: "That's right, you said that we got the soil and water, what's the evidence! There are so many people coming and going, how do we know who prepared the water."

Alan frowned, and persuaded Amei: "Okay, just treat it as carelessness, and stop making trouble."

"That's right!" The two little maids echoed.

But Amei suddenly got angry, pointing at Alan and yelling: "Where are you from? Where do you turn your elbows? The princess was bullied and you turned against outsiders and turned against you!"

"I'm just talking about the facts, please don't be so crazy."

"Am I crazy? If it weren't for me, no one would have known about the sufferings of the princess. With you being such a dumb and boring gourd, Prince Ning's mansion would have been overthrown!"

"Be more polite. We are all maids. How dare you yell at me like that?"

"You should be more polite, be quiet all day long, and treat yourself as a princess? The princess didn't even tell me to be quiet, so you just take over and do it for me all day long!"

"I'm Yue Zu acting in charge!?" Alan laughed back in anger, pulled another little maid, and asked sharply: "You judge the truth, I am called Yue Zu acting in charge?"

"No." The little maid shook her head.

"I don't think so either." Another court lady agreed.

"I knew you were working together!" Amei dragged the maid forward, "You follow me to see the noble concubine, I have to come up with an explanation today!"

Alan was also angry, and dragged another court lady forward, sneering as she walked: "Go, whoever doesn't go today is the grandson!"

The two little maids were dragged for a while, and it took a while before they came back to their senses.

This is not the way to find the imperial concubine!
No, there is a fraud!
One of them suddenly reacted, broke away from Alan's tearing, and ran back frantically.

Looking at the side room, as expected, Tang Xueyao had long since disappeared.

Another person panted to keep up, went in and searched anxiously, and after confirming that Tang Xueyao took the opportunity to escape, he stomped angrily: "Why did she run away!"

Amei and Alan pretended to be panicked in the back, and accused the two little maids: "Why did you lose our princess!"

"What did we lose, it's obviously..." The little maid who was the first to discover something was wrong, her eyes widened, she pointed at Amei and Alan, it took a long time to say the whole thing.

"Why are you so treacherous!"

The other little maid also reacted, clutching Amei's arm furiously, and walked towards Concubine Shu's bedroom.

"Come on, follow me to see the noble concubine, did you deliberately quarrel and let Princess Ning run out, so that the noble concubine knows that I will tear you alive!"

Alan was also pulled by his sleeve and dragged to Concubine Shu's bedroom.

"Aren't your lords angry about getting up?" Amei let the little maid drag her around, and looked around the scenery with great interest: "If our princess is disturbed during her lunch break, she will lose her temper."

Alan remained silent, only nodding when the little maid looked at her.

Hearing these words, the pace of the two girls gradually slowed down.

That's right, are you angry about getting up?

The two of them have always been rough envoys who sweep the courtyard, and have never served in close proximity.If the empress is offended, the consequences are not something they can bear.

But Princess Ning is missing now, this should be more important than taking a nap, the empress should not blame... right?

And her two personal maids are still there, so they shouldn't be far away... But geckos will cut off their tails in case of danger, let alone just two maids?
The two maids grabbed Amei and Alan with each hand, and leaned to the side, muttering for a while, before deciding to inform Concubine Shu.

In any case, the fact that Princess Ning ran away should be worse than taking a nap. Even if the empress is angry, she will feel that it is justifiable and will not blame too much.

……Bar.

After making up their minds, the two immediately made fierce expressions, and the person who was holding Ah Mei said disdainfully: "Don't think that this kind of trick can deceive us!"

"Exactly!" Another person responded, "Come with us to see the concubine!"

When they arrived at the main hall, Concubine Shu was still taking a nap, and she lost her temper.

But when she heard that Princess Ning had run away, she immediately regained her spirits and asked them to come in for questioning while her hair was still loose.

The two palace maids hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and cried, "Your Majesty, forgive me, they are insidious and cunning, and deliberately tricked us out of the door with the excuse of unclean water, and took the opportunity to let Concubine Ning run away!"

"Yes, Madam, although we saw through the deception right away, we still let Princess Ning run away!"

Concubine Shu looked at Amei and Alan who were pleasing to the eye, and asked, "Where did Princess Ning go?"

Amei looked around and poked Alan.

Alan ignored her and knelt silently.

Seeing this situation, Amei became anxious, raised her head and said: "Your Majesty, I know that the slaves don't know anything about it, this matter has nothing to do with the slaves!"

When Alan heard it, he glanced at Amei in disbelief, and kowtowed bitterly after a while: "Your Majesty, the slaves don't even know."

"How could you not know, I clearly saw the princess whispering to you!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Alan retorted anxiously, and reprimanded: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful that the princess will tear your mouth!"

"Hehe." Concubine Shu wondered, "Why did the dog bite the dog?"

Alan bit her lip, kowtowed a few more times, and said, "Your Majesty, the weather is scorching hot, and Amei just said nonsense when she lost her head. Don't take it seriously, Your Majesty."

"You're talking nonsense!" Amei wished she could slap Alan across the face, "Madam, I saw with my own eyes that the princess whispered to Alan while I was away, and she didn't say anything when I came back."

"Okay, what does it look like to be so noisy, what do you think of Shuning Palace!" Concubine Shu frowned, and when she looked up again, her expression was already stern.

"Alan, look up."

Alan gritted his back molars, showing patience, but his body trembled slightly.

Hmph, how dare Tang Xueyao bring out such a sweetness?

Concubine Shu touched Kou Dan in her hand, squinted her eyes to look at Alan, and waited until Alan's eyes wandered before saying: "Do you know that His Majesty will personally interrogate Tang Xueyao tomorrow?"

Alan blinked, his expression gradually panicked, and he murmured: "The princess never told me about this..."

"Oh, don't be sold by your concubine and still count the money for her!" Concubine Shu was contemptuous, as if she looked down on Tang Xueyao's behavior of using the maid.

"This is a serious matter, and if you are not careful, you will be killed. If Tang Xueyao walks away, you two will definitely die."

After seeing the terrified faces of the two, Concubine Shu said softly: "But Princess Ning is a smart person, she probably wouldn't run away in the palace."

"It's just that the palace is huge, if she accidentally provokes someone she shouldn't, she will still end up dead."

"If you really think about her, you should immediately tell me where she is, and I can help her."

After saying that, Concubine Shu didn't speak anymore, but just glanced at them with cool eyes, as if she was looking at a dead person.

After drinking a few more sips of tea, seeing that Alan was still silent, when Concubine Shu was about to threaten again, she saw that Amei was in a hurry, and kept nudging Alan with her elbows, urging her in a low voice.

In the end, under multiple pressures, Alan slowly opened his mouth: "What the empress said is true? Are you really willing to help the princess?"

"That's natural." Concubine Shu closed the lid of the tea, "Isn't this Palace giving her three days to help her?"

Seeing that Alan hesitated to speak, she added fuel to the fire: "I am Han'er's concubine mother, Tang Xueyao's mother-in-law, no matter what happens, I will not harm her."

"Princess, she..."
