"Wait a minute!" Beatrice suddenly stopped and said.

Seeing Bitui suddenly stop, Bihu asked with lingering fear, "What...what happened?"

Beatrice grabbed Bihu's arm and said, "What's that on your sleeve?"

Bihu looked carefully and saw that it was ink! She was writing in such a hurry that she didn't notice that there was ink on her cuffs.

Bihu pulled out her arm in panic, put her hands behind her back, smiled and said perfunctorily, "Nothing, let's go."

Beatrice would not be easily dismissed like this, but firmly retorted, "You are talking nonsense! Those are traces of ink, right? I saw them all."

Bihu initially planned to cover up the past.

"Oh no, Sister Beatrice, you're overthinking it. Let's go! The queen is awake and needs someone to serve her."

Beatrice sneered, "What shameful thing have you done to have the nerve to mention the queen! Tell me, what's the matter with the ink on your cuffs?"

"No..." Bihu was still trying to explain.

Bihu was speechless until Beatrice grabbed Bihu's hands behind her back and revealed the ink marks on her cuffs.

"The facts are right in front of you, and you're still trying to make excuses. Come on, follow me in to see the queen! Tell her what you did!"

Having said that, Bitui grabbed Bihu's hand and wanted to walk into the hall. Bihu kept struggling and said nice things to Bitui.

"Sister Beatrice, please let me go... You're hurting me... We are good sisters, I don't want to go in."

But Beatrice didn't let go, instead she said forcefully, "We were good sisters in the past, but if you betray me and team up with outsiders to deal with the queen, I will treat you as if I don't have a sister anymore."

"Sister Bitui, Sister Bitui!" Bihu softened his posture and called out twice.

But it did not win back Bitui's heart. Bihu saw that Bitui was really going to bring her to the Queen. By then, she would be really finished!

So, in desperation, Bihu suddenly squatted down, picked up a stone on the ground, and smashed it hard on the back of Bitui's head!

The back of Beatrice's head hurt. She was about to turn around in disbelief, but she felt dizzy all over, and then she fainted on the ground...

Bihu looked at Bitui lying on the ground, and there was a momentary struggle in his heart.

But then she thought of what Beatrice had just said: "If you betray me and team up with outsiders to deal with the queen, I will treat you as if I don't have a sister!"

As her thoughts came to an end, Bihu muttered to herself, "Since you no longer consider me a sister and insist on reporting me to the Queen, I will just treat you as an irrelevant sister!"

Afterwards, Bihu used all his strength to drag the unconscious Bitui to a nearby unused dry well.

She only needs one more step and she will be able to throw Beatrice down!

But at this moment, Bihu couldn't help but hesitate again. After all, they had been in the palace together for many years and worked side by side under the Queen. If she threw her into the well now, she would definitely die...

Bihu's face was filled with worry, and he was a little hesitant to do it.

If I don't do this, when Beatrice wakes up from her coma, she will definitely run to the Queen and report me. Then, I will be the one who suffers!

In the end, Bihu chose himself between Bitui's fate and his own.

After doing all this, Bihu returned to her room feeling uneasy, fearing that there would be any blood stains left. She changed her clothes and then returned to the Queen's Palace.

When Bihu came over, the queen had already woken up.

Bihu was terrified and asked carefully, "My lady...when did you wake up? I am late..."

The Queen asked, "You just woke up. Why is it you? Where is Beatrice?"

After Bihu helped the queen sit up, she answered, "That, I don't know. Sister Bitui is the top maid in the palace. She will not let us, the lower class, know what she wants to do..."

The queen didn't think any more about Bitui. She thought she was preparing something for her evening plan, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Turning his head, he looked at Bihu and said, "I remember why you were wearing a plain white dress today? Why did you change into this dark blue one?"

Beatrice bit her lip and replied, "I accidentally got my clothes dirty while working just now, so I changed into a new set of clothes. And this dark blue one will be more convenient for working at night..."

The queen nodded. "That's right. In that case, let's wait for the right opportunity!"

Seeing that the queen stopped asking questions, Bihu finally felt relieved.

It was getting dark, but there was still no sign of Bicui coming in.

The queen said anxiously, "It's getting dark soon. Where on earth has Bitui been? Why hasn't she come back yet? Bihu, quickly call the others to look for her outside."

Bihu: "Yes, I will go right away."

However, when Bihu really went out, he did not call others to look for him together. Instead, he pretended to go for a walk outside and then went back in.

"My queen, we can't find it!" Bihu said in a worried manner

The queen frowned, finding it unbelievable.

"How could she not be found? There is only so much space in Fenghua Palace. Can she fly out?"

Bihu lowered her head and replied, "Yes..."

The queen ordered, "Go look for her again. It's getting dark. We have to wait until midnight to act. Don't let her fail at this time."

Bihu nodded and said, "Let us go look for it again."

The Queen urged, “Go!

After a while, Bihu came back alone. The queen asked disappointedly, "Why, you still can't find it?"

Bihu shook her head in embarrassment.

The Queen cursed angrily, "That damn Bitcui, what a jerk! She's never like this on normal days. She really makes me worry. But today when I'm in trouble, she's adding fuel to the fire!"

"I have been too pampering her, and she has become so arrogant. I really need to punish her!"

Bihu comforted her, "Your Majesty, calm down... Maybe, maybe Sister Bicui had something important to do, so she was delayed..."

The queen asked back, "She is just a palace maid, what important matter could she have?"

Then, the queen suddenly thought of something, and said as if she knew everything, "I know. From the beginning, she has been trying to stop me from leaving the palace secretly. Now that the time has come, she has disappeared. Is she trying to keep me busy looking for her so that I miss leaving the palace?"

After Bihu heard the Queen's train of thought, she felt a little delighted and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, then...should we continue to look for it?"

The queen refused outright, "What are you still looking for? No more! Let her do whatever she wants. When the time comes, we will proceed with the plan as usual!"

Bihu: “Yes~”
