Feng Yexuan not only did not drive Xiao Yao out of the prince's mansion last night, but even let her accompany him in his study for an entire night!
Chu Qianli was doing her nails when she received this news.
Her hand trembled with anger.
The little maid accidentally got nail polish on her hand.
"What are you doing?" Chu Qianli, unable to vent her anger, saw that her perfect fair hand was stained with messy colors and immediately became furious.
"This servant deserves death! Your Majesty, spare me!" The maid, trembling with fear, knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, spare me!"
"Damn贱婢!" Chu Qianli kicked her out and shouted, "Guards! Drag her out and beat her to death!"
"Your Majesty!" The maid's eyes went black, and she almost fainted.
She had merely accidentally gotten nail polish on Your Majesty's hand!
"Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!"
Such a terrifying thing had never happened in the prince's mansion.
Although the prince was cold and irritable, he would not take a servant's life without reason.
The masters of the prince's mansion never killed innocents.
Unless they had committed a capital offense!
"Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty... Prince, Prince, save me! Prince, save me! Ah... Ahhh..."
The maid was dragged to the backyard for execution, and soon, her screams disappeared.
"Your Majesty," Qingmei returned and reported, "that maid is dead."
"Does it require me to handle it if she's dead?" Chu Qianli's face was tense with anger, and her face began to look a little ugly again.
Qingmei immediately lowered her head and said urgently, "This subordinate will handle it now!"
Qingmei turned and left.
Chu Qianli quickly turned around, not letting anyone see her face.
Hong Chou lowered her head, silent, and was about to retreat.
However, Chu Qianli suddenly said coldly, "Where did you go last night?"
Hong Chou stiffened and said softly, "Last night, I was... in the prince's mansion..."
"Hong Chou, you are a smart person. If he hadn't had too many things on his mind, even some sort of demonic possession, do you think your martial arts would have allowed him to not notice you?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Chou's face changed drastically, and she immediately knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, this servant admits her guilt! But this servant has no disloyalty to Your Majesty, nor do I intend to pry into Your Majesty's private affairs. This servant followed you out solely to protect Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please see clearly!"
Last night, Hong Chou found Chu Qianli going to the back mountain alone, and she was indeed only trying to protect her.
But she never expected to inadvertently overhear such a terrifying secret!
She wasn't Chu Qianli, she was a fake!
That number one assassin in Beiming called her Yu Linglong!
In just one night, Hong Chou had thoroughly investigated her origins.
Yu Linglong, formerly the favored Miss Yu by the Empress Dowager's side, was rumored to have died on the battlefield during the expedition with Prince Xuan, her remains unrecovered.
But who would have thought that she didn't die, but was reborn from the ashes!
Hong Chou couldn't figure out how she managed to create a face exactly like Chu Qianli's.
But she heard that her master was Wuchenzi. If Wuchenzi understood such secret arts, then it wasn't impossible.
After all, Wuchenzi was a mythical figure throughout the entire Cangqiong Continent.
Hong Chou lowered her head and said solemnly, "Your Majesty spent money to invite my sister and me. My sister and I will naturally only be loyal to Your Majesty in this life."
"No matter how many secrets this subordinate hears, how many things I know, my master is only Your Majesty!"
Chu Qianli narrowed her eyes, staring at her sweating back, "Guess, will I believe your words?"
