The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Zhou Chen came out of the prison with a rather grim look on his face. As he walked out with his sleeves rolled up, he asked the guards who were watching over the prisoners, "Who has seen that palace maid?"

His attitude had clearly softened yesterday and he was about to speak out, but today his attitude changed drastically and he refused to utter a single word.

Zhou Chen realized the problem immediately after the interrogation. Someone must have said something to her.

The guard was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, Aunt Cuiping, who is by the side of Concubine Shun, came over. After all, she is someone in the Concubine's palace, and the Concubine was sympathetic and came to send some food."

After he finished speaking, the guard also reacted and said in a panic: "Master Zhou, we have carefully checked the food and there is no problem of smuggling. That's why we let her deliver it."

"Besides, when you sent the person here, you didn't say that no one was allowed to visit, right?"

Zhou Chen raised his hand and rubbed his brow, muttering: "I knew it wasn't that simple."

He looked at the guard and asked in a deep voice, "Did you hear what Cuiping said to her?"

The guard looked a little embarrassed and whispered, "Aunt Cuiping said that there are some private things for girls to say, and we grown men are not comfortable listening to it..."

Zhou Chen looked at the guard with a puzzled look, and finally said, "From now on, no one is allowed to visit, not even if Concubine Shun comes in person."

After saying this, Zhou Chen turned around and went back into the Heavenly Prison.

The palace maid had been sent back to prison and was now sitting on the haystack, leaning against the wall, in a daze.

Hearing the footsteps, the maid looked up and saw that it was Zhou Chen, so she closed her eyes again and said slowly: "Master Zhou, even if you ask me a hundred times, I still don't know anything, so don't waste your time."

Zhou Chen looked at her steadily: "What did Concubine Shun promise you? To ensure your family's prosperity and safety for the rest of their lives?"

The palace maid closed her eyes and did not move.

"Do you know that this matter not only concerns the Concubine Chen, but also His Majesty, and even the reputation of the entire country?" Zhou Chen looked at the maid seriously and said in a deep voice: "His Majesty asked me to investigate this matter, so you should understand how much he values ​​it."

"Do you think that a Shun Guifei can really protect your family? You haven't figured it out yet. You are not facing the Chen Fei in the harem, but the ruler of the world, His Majesty. Your opponent is His Majesty."

The palace maid's breathing became heavier, and her closed eyes trembled unconsciously.

After a while, the maid finally opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Chen intently: "Then tell me, who can protect my family?"

Zhou Chen: "If you trust me, tell me everything you know. Don't hide anything. I will help you protect your family."

The maid's eyes moved, she opened her mouth, and finally endured it: "How can I believe what you say?"

Zhou Chen had a headache. After a moment of silence, he pointed at the maid and said, "Okay, wait, I'll make you believe me."

After saying this, he asked someone to keep a good look at the maid and then turned and left.

As soon as he walked out of the prison door, Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Someone come."

"Go, check the family of this palace maid, find all her relatives, and then keep them under guard. Do not allow them to contact anyone."

He just didn't believe that he couldn't pry open the mouth of a palace maid.
