"Come to beg me?" Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and smiled warmly, "Do you know what crime Lady Li has committed? Why did I grounded her in the Xiangyi Palace?"
"I... I don't know." The maid's voice was trembling.
"You don't know?" Yun Shang chuckled, "You didn't even know what mistake Lady Li had made, but you came to intercede for her rashly. Aren't you afraid that I will be angry with you?"
"I've heard that your majesty is virtuous and kind. Even if your majesty might be angry at me, Lady Li once saved my life. I have to help her even with my life."
Yun Shang's eyes rested on the maid for a long time. "You are really grateful."
Then she looked away and ordered Pei Lan, "Send for an imperial physician to the Xiangyi Palace to treat Lady Li."
"Yes." Pei Lan replied and left with her head down.
"Thank you, your majesty! Thank you so much!" The maid sobbed and kowtowed three more times to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang's fingers in her sleeves moved slightly. "Since you are worried about Lady Li so much, I can fulfill your gratitude. From now on, you can go to the Xiangyi Palace to serve her."
The maid trembled and raised her head abruptly, as if she was shocked.
Yun Shang smiled, "What's wrong? Unwilling? "
The maid seemed to have noticed her overreaction. She quickly kowtowed again and said, "I'm not unwilling. Thank you, your majesty. I will do as you command."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Well, you can go now."
The maid moved to the side of the road and knelt down. Yun Shang walked past her and entered Jingui Garden.
After entering the garden, Qian Liu turned her head to look at the door. The maid knelt at the door for a while before she stood up and left.
"Your majesty, do you think there is anything wrong with this maid?" Qian Liu turned around and asked softly.
"Oh? Why do you ask that? " As soon as they entered the garden, the fragrance in the air became stronger. Yun Shang looked up at the golden fragrans on the tree and said casually.
Qian Liu kept silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "There is no reason. I just feel that your majesty's attitude towards this maid seems a little strange."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Maybe I have always been suspicious. I don't believe that a maid who has been in the complex palace for so long will risk her life for a person who once saved her life."
"And..." Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and said, "Just now, I deliberately asked the maid to serve in the Xiangyi Palace. Her reaction is really strange. It seems that she didn't expect that I would suddenly make such a request."
Qian Liu recalled the maid's reaction and nodded, "Yes, it's a little strange." Then she asked in a low voice, "Your majesty... Do I need to ask someone to inquire about this maid carefully?"
