"Yue Qingying, you are so brave!"

With a scolding, Yao Yingxue came over and slapped me hard on the face. There was a burning pain on my cheek, "Eunuch Yu is here, you are so unruly!"

This slap stunned me.

Although she usually showed off her power and often made things difficult for me, this was the first time she was beaten like this in public. An unspeakable feeling of humiliation and ill-will came over me. As soon as I raised my head to argue with her, I saw someone standing in front of me.

Eunuch Jade, in the end, gritted his teeth and endured it, lowered his head and said: "Please, father-in-law, please forgive me."

At this time, Eunuch Yu slowly walked over: "Your name is Yue Qingying?"

"Yes."

"Did you see His Highness the Third Prince last night?"

My heart suffocated and I shook my head hastily: "No, slave."

"Oh? Then where were you last night? What did you do?"

"Slave, I was not on duty last night, so I rested in my room and did not leave even half a step."

When I finished stammering this sentence, Yu'er standing next to me gave me a strange look.

"Oh." Eunuch Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at me calmly. After a while, he said: "Since you don't know, forget it. Just treat what happened today as an unintentional mistake on your part, Yao

As a female historian, there is no need to punish her."

Yao Yingxue seemed to be still angry, but even though Eunuch Yu spoke, she couldn't dismiss it. She just gave me a fierce look: "Since my father-in-law said so - Yue Qingying, I will spare you today. Why don't you thank Eunuch Yu?

”

"Yes. Thank you, Eunuch Yu, and thank you, Auntie."

After saluting them, I hurriedly picked up the money on the ground and left in a hurry. Eunuch Yu, who was standing behind me, looked at my back silently with his shrewd eyes for a long time.

, without saying a word.

My heartbeat slowly calmed down after I walked into the Neizang Pavilion.

Fortunately, Eunuch Yu didn't ask any more questions, otherwise - I don't know whether I was scared or sad, but whenever I thought of those nightmare memories, tears couldn't stop falling down one drop at a time.

I sat silently crying for an unknown amount of time when I heard a knock on the door. I hurriedly wiped away my tears and walked over, only to see Yu'er standing at the door. When she saw me, she immediately opened her eyes wide: "Qingying,

Are you crying?"

"I, no."

I rubbed my eyes, turned around and walked into the house. Yu'er hurriedly followed me: "Don't hide it from me. That Yao Yingxue is a domineering bully on weekdays, and he targets you most. He actually beats you today, but -

—Qingying, what’s wrong with you?”

"I have nothing..." I said in a low voice.

"Then why did you lie to Eunuch Yu just now?" Yu'er looked at me: "Last night, you were clearly not in the room."

My heart suddenly sank.

The Neizang Pavilion fell into silence. After a long time, I finally picked up my voice: "Yu'er, don't think so wildly. I just don't want to cause trouble. I did go out last night, but I must not tell where I went.

Eunuch Jade and the others."
