t any longer. She quickly reached out and covered his mouth, "I don't mind you, please stop talking."Mo Yunjing's bright eyes were fixed on An Xuetang. The distance between them was a little close, an...Xizi Ke'er stared into the maidservant's eyes and spoke slowly, "Having been by my side for many years, you should know what happens to traitors."

"This bowl of bird's nest... you ate it. As for your parents and siblings, considering the master-servant relationship we had, I will send someone to check on them in prison. If what you say is true, that your family has been controlled..."

"This palace promises you, I will do my best to help you, and rescue them. But...this palace cannot guarantee success."

After all, you are well aware that the one who attacked this palace this time is the current Emperor. What does His Majesty want to do Few in this world can stop him.

Her tone held a hint of resignation.

It's truly helpless, and what I said was the truth. After all, this capital city is ultimately under the rule of the Empress of Xiliang.

Whom the Queen wished to kill, whom she wished to spare, who could stop her

The maid also knew this, but she also knew that the young lady sitting before her now had ambition and was no longer the naive and innocent girl she used to be. So she still placed some hope in her.

So when Xizi Ke'er said these words, she was deeply moved and excitedly wanted to thank him.

But obviously, Xizi Ke'er no longer wanted to waste too much time on her. At this time, she looked at the guard holding the bird's nest.

The guard nodded slightly, not giving the maidservant a chance to speak, and squatted down directly, handing her the bowl.

The maid looked deeply into Xizi Ke'er's eyes, her gaze filled with tears.

Knowing that the moment she poisoned herself, she would die without a doubt, now this was already the best possible outcome. She bit her lip and finally swallowed the bird's nest in one gulp.

After finishing her drink, she placed the bowl on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Xizi Ke'er. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness over the years. As a servant, I can only repay you in my next life by being your ox or horse."

She finished her words, and under Xizi Ke'er's gesture, the two guards dragged her away.

After everyone had come in and cleaned the house, the maid named Xiaohua had also been rescued.

As soon as she stepped inside and saw the unharmed Xizi Ke'er, her heart, which had been hanging heavy with worry, eased a little. She walked up to Xizi Ke'er and knelt down with a thud, wanting to confess her wrongdoings.

Had she not been so trusting of the maidservant's words earlier, she would not have nearly put her mistress's life in danger.

Xizi Ke'er wouldn't give her a chance to speak. With a slightly tired gesture, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples. Before the other could utter a word, she said, "Don't waste my time, this palace is going to bathe. Go prepare."

"......" Xiaohua's words, which had almost reached her throat, were choked back with difficulty. Tears welled up in her eyes as she softly replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

......

Xizi Ke'er was bathing, and Xiaohua was by her side, serving her. She rubbed Xizi Ke'er's shoulders to relieve fatigue and then kneaded her temples to ease the headache.

But just then, the commotion of the evening wasn't completely over.

Before Xi Zhier could emerge from the bathtub, the sound of fighting once again echoed from outside the courtyard.have the idea that a woman in ancient times should be reserved.
