The mother and son played for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they collected the kite and walked back.

A long way away, the mother and son heard the noise coming from the entrance of Yinghua Palace. When they got closer, they found that several eunuchs were pulling a palace maid. The palace maid was struggling and shouting noisily: " What are you doing? You are so presumptuous, I am a person close to Concubine Shun, how dare you touch me?"

The eunuch who was pulling her was unmoved and said sternly: "Whoever you are, if you peek into Yinghua Palace, you will be punished."

The girl's face turned pale and she kept struggling, trying to escape from the clutches of the eunuchs.

It was at this time that Lu Jiuqing came over with Mo Chengning.

"What happened?" Lu Jiuqing frowned and asked in a deep voice, "It's making a lot of noise and disturbing His Majesty's purity."

She told Mo Xiao to rest so forcefully. If she was woken up by this person, wouldn't her efforts be in vain?

The eunuch who had been so fierce just now changed his expression as soon as he saw Lu Jiuqing coming, and said respectfully: "My dear, please forgive me, this girl doesn't care about life and death and even peeks at your majesty. The slaves will stop her mouth right now."

As he said this, one of them took a veil and stuffed the palace maid's mouth.

The palace maid's eyes widened and she stared directly at Lu Jiuqing, as if she was asking for help.

Seeing that the eunuchs were about to take the people away, Lu Jiuqing frowned and said, "Wait a minute."

The eunuchs stopped immediately: "Miss, what else do you have to say?"

Lu Jiuqing walked up to the palace maid, raised his hand and pulled off the veil from her mouth, and asked, "Are you from Concubine Shun's palace?"

That maid was none other than Cuiping from Concubine Shun's palace.

Cuiping did not dare to neglect and whispered: "Yes, I am from Concubine Shun's palace."

Lu Jiuqing raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "You came to Yinghua Palace to inquire about me?"

Cuiping: "..."

She dared not admit it.

Ever since she took Concubine Shun's order, she had thought of many ways. However, the eunuchs and maids in Yinghua Palace were all impregnable. They could not use coercion or inducement, and they could not find out any information. Helpless, she could only come and stay in person, and that's what happened now.

She did come to inquire about the woman in front of her, but she couldn't tell.

She didn't say anything, but Lu Jiuqing understood and smiled: "Go back and tell Concubine Shun that you don't need to ask about me. Just ask her to take good care of the fetus in her belly."

"Don't use your strength on me, it's pointless."

After Lu Jiuqing finished speaking, he said to the eunuchs: "Let her go back."

The eunuch who had shouted at Cuiping just now showed no resistance at all. This woman said whatever she said, as if she had the final say in the Yinghua Palace.

As Cuiping walked, she turned back and happened to see the woman holding the little prince's hand and entering the Yinghua Palace. The little prince was looking up and smiling, saying something to her in a very affectionate manner.

Cuiping pursed her lips, and her heart surged.

She had been in the palace for a long time, and she knew the little prince well. This little ancestor will not give face to anyone except His Majesty.

It's not like the concubines in the harem didn't try to please him, but this kid didn't buy into anyone's fault. He was a person even harder to get close to than His Majesty.

But now, the little prince is very affectionate towards this woman of unknown origin, and it is obvious that he has a close relationship with her.

Who is this person? What's the origin?

Cuiping went back with doubts in her heart. After seeing Concubine Shun, she told her everything about what happened today. Concubine Shun's expression changed on the spot.
