I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Since the incident at the border, the emperor has had sleepless nights.

The concubines in the harem are not colorless people, so naturally no one dares to disturb the emperor at this time.

Just after the emperor drank hot tea, the secret guard suddenly appeared in the palace.

"Your Majesty, a maid escaped from the Eighth Prince's Mansion and we have taken her down."

"At noon today, someone also left. He should have gone to the Land of Baiyue. According to your instructions, we did not stop him."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that Rong Jiao really has no intention of giving up. I just don't know how Prince Rong will respond to this matter."

"If things are really as what Ke'er said, then Rong Jiao will not be able to keep her."

As the emperor's words fell, the entire hall fell into deathly silence.

Regardless of whether it was Liao Cheng, the secret guard or Liao Cheng, both of them knew that the emperor had murderous intentions for Rong Jiao.

But it makes sense to think about it, Rong Jiao used the name of Prince Rong to run rampant in the capital for many years.Even the emperor was deceived by her. How could the emperor not be angry?

Deceiving the king?That is a crime of beheading!

The emperor squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

"Prince Rong acts openly and aboveboard. There must be some misunderstanding in this."

The emperor's expression softened, and Liao Cheng and the secret guards couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with that maid?"

When the emperor sent people from the Shenxing Department to investigate Rongjiao, he knew that the idea to frame the former eighth princess for falling into the water came from a maid.

As for who this maid was, the emperor had not traced it before.

It just wanted everyone's attention to be on Rong Jiao, so that she could reveal her flaws and test whether Prince Rong had any rebellious intentions.

Now that Rong Jiao had someone deliver the letter, all she had to do now was wait for news from Prince Rong.

As for the maid next to Rong Jiao, before he sent anyone to look for her, she jumped out first.

"Send the person to the Punishment Department."

The secret guard responded and disappeared into the hall.

Liao Cheng stood aside respectfully, but he was thinking about this matter in his heart.

But few people who are sent to the Criminal Punishment Department can come out alive.

It seemed that the maid next to Rong Jiao also had a narrow escape from death.

However, Liao Cheng had no sympathy for this person.

There are so many poor people in this palace. If he could look at a maid and feel pity for her, he might not be able to pity her anymore.

Moreover, the maid next to Rong Jiao also deserved her punishment. From what the Shen Xing Department found out, they found out that this maid had actually served the former eighth princess.

But just because the Eighth Princess wanted to protect the child in her belly and stayed behind closed doors all day to thank guests, the maid felt that her master was not favoring her, so she turned around and clung to her master's enemy.

Such a lowly slave girl is nothing more than a pile of rotten flesh even if she is beaten to death with a stick.

When Biyun was knocked unconscious, the only thought left in her mind was that she was too late.

To be able to target her in the middle of the night, it was obvious that the other party had been targeting the Eighth Prince's Mansion for a long time.

Maybe those who are eyeing the Eighth Prince's Mansion now are either people from the palace or Rong Jiao's enemies.

At that moment, Biyun felt extremely regretful.

Now she is the most capable maid around Rong Jiao, and anyone with a discerning eye has seen her.

Seeing her go out, neither the palace nor Rong Jiao's enemies would let her go.

If only she hadn't gone out...

Immediately afterwards, Biyun's thoughts fell into darkness, and when he woke up again, he was in this dark dungeon.

The person sitting at the tea table not far away was none other than the father-in-law who took the people from the Criminal Investigation Department to the Eighth Prince's Mansion that day to search for evidence.

When the other party saw Biyun waking up, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Biyun's heart skipped a beat when she heard the familiar high-pitched voice.

"You...why am I here? Let me go quickly, or Concubine Rong will not let you go!"

Biyun scolded Eunuch Li in front of him with a stern look, as if using Rong Jiao's identity to scare these people.

However, when Eunuch Li heard this, the smile on his face suddenly faded a bit.

Many years ago, he had some admiration for Rong Jiao.

After all, it is not an easy task for a weak woman to follow Zhang Siyuan to the border.

Although I don’t know what happened to Rong Jiao at the border, I heard that Zhang Siyuan seemed to have a conflict with Vice General Pei around him because of Rong Jiao.

Many generals on the border accidentally broke into the encirclement of the Fanbang people because of Rong Jiao's willfulness, and were shot to death by Fanbang's group of beasts.

They were all benefactors who had saved him, and she had long remembered this blood debt in Rong Jiao's heart.

However, Rong Jiao was so popular in the capital that even the emperor had to take care of Prince Rong, so he did not take action.

Now that Rong Jiao was in a state of decline and had been demoted from a princess to a commoner, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity for revenge.

This time Rong Jiao's control fell into his hands. Even the emperor was not as stupid as before. He was determined to let Rong Jiao taste the feeling of being betrayed by someone close to her.

Hearing Biyun mention Rong Jiao, Eunuch Li's teasing thoughts disappeared.

"Huh, concubine? She's just an acquaintance without status. Do you really think of yourself as a master?"

Biyun's expression changed suddenly, and she also remembered the emperor's decree a few days ago that abolished Rong Jiao's position as concubine.

At this time, Biyun felt extremely regretful. If she had stayed peacefully in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, she might be able to serve the Eighth Prince if he was interested.

As long as there is a son of the Eighth Prince, even Queen Mother Pa will bypass her life.

Looking at the things Rong Jiao did before, wasn't it just because of her belly that she had escaped so many disasters?

Seeing that Eunuch Li didn't seem to care about Rong Jiao, Biyun became even more flustered.

Her identity that can bluff people now is that of the capable maid next to Rong Jiao.

If Rong Jiao was useless, wouldn't she die in this dark dungeon today?

But Biyun was not that stupid person. Seeing Eunuch Li looking her up and down, Biyun knew that she still had a chance to survive.

"If your father-in-law has any instructions, just ask. If I can do it for your father-in-law, I will definitely not refuse."

Eunuch Li couldn't help but chuckled when he saw her expression.

Unexpectedly, the person next to Rong Jiao still had sharp eyes.

"We are just a eunuch, what can I do for you?"

When Biyun heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

She wanted to say something, but her lips trembled for a long time, and she couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li once again had a scary smile on his face.

"Miss Biyun, don't be anxious. If you can answer a few questions from our family, our family will spare your life."
