Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1254

Yun Shang chuckled. Knowing that Yun Shang was testing him, the steward deliberately indicating that he was willing to hand over his authority of the Imperial Library to her people.

"Well, I'll think about it carefully,"

Yun Shang answered carelessly, "I believe you should know about Steward Wang's case."

"Yes, Steward Wang was taken away from the Imperial Library. I... was present then. "

"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you know why Steward Wang committed such a serious crime as to poison her Former Majesty? Did you see anything wrong with her in the Imperial Library then? You and she were both working here. Didn't you notice anything? "

Hearing this, Steward Zhou smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you may not believe me, but I really knew nothing about it. There is a reason for this... "

"What is it?"

Steward Zhou lowered his eyes as if it was hard for him to speak it out, "I'm a eunuch, you know, so I don't expect to get married. But the servants and maids in the palace... Sometimes, they build up their secret relationship in private, which can be regarded as a nominal couple.

I'm working in the Imperial Library. There are a lot of servants coming to take books for their masters, and I occasionally heard them talk about that relationship. From time to time, I came up with such an idea. I wanted to find a maid as my companion. But I've been staying in the Imperial Library all day long, and the people I know are the servants working here.

Steward Wang was really outstanding in the Imperial Library. Therefore, I was tempted. Later, I couldn't help but propose it to Steward Wang secretly. "

The smile on Steward Zhou's face became more and more bitter. He went on, "Just because of this, things were ruined. I didn't expect that Steward Wang disliked this kind of thing very much... I think it should not be described as 'dislike', but it should be that she hated it very much.

"That day, I was severely scolded by Steward Wang. Since then, every time she saw me, she would try to avoid me, as if I were a savage beast. What's more, Steward Wang also gathered some people in the Imperial Library and formed a faction against me. From then on, there has been a clear distinction between the people working here. Although we were both in the same library, as others, we were on duty one person a day, so we seldom met. So, as for things like what kind of situation Steward Wang was in, I... I really don't know. "

Yun Shang fixed her eyes on the face of Steward Zhou and then squinted slightly. She didn't know whether what he said was true or not.

However, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed. She had thought that Steward Zhou would find some excuses to deny that he knew something.

But she didn't expect that he would make himself clean with such an excuse.

Whether it was true or not, in order to keep herself away from the case, Steward Zhou should act this way by telling her about such secret and dirty relationship among the servants in private. It was really a little... awesome.

Obviously, his secret relationship with a maid was much less guilty compared with his suspected responsibility of covering up Steward Wang's crime.

Steward Zhou bit his lip and said with a pale face, "I know I shouldn't use this kind of things to stain your majesty's noble ears. But the truth is like this, and I don't dare to lie to your majesty. I also know that this kind of thing shouldn't have happened, and I was slapped hard in the face by Steward Wang. After seeing her strong reaction, I've never mentioned it to anyone else.
