Mama Kim knelt at Lee Yoon-hee's feet in grief and fear, and begged, "Princess, spare your life!" The matter is big, the old slave doesn't dare to speak casually, and asks the princess to give the old slave some time to sort out his thoughts, and then tell you in detail when the turmoil calms down! Saying that, he was still kowtowing desperately, and Li Yunxi had no choice but to agree.

Mama Kim's relaxation made Lee Yun-hee feel even more uncomfortable, she faintly felt that those gossips were not groundless, did it really have anything to do with her birthmark? Li Yunxi forced himself to calm down: "If it is as rumored by the outside world, Zhiya is the eldest princess of Guli, then she must have the same birthmark on her body as the main palace, and when the girl comes, the main palace will take a closer look!" ”

This Zhihui found Zhiya lying on the couch in the maid's bedroom, although her body was incapacitated, but she was still in good spirits.

"Are you getting better? The master declares you to pass. Ji-hye lifted Ji-ah's collar and looked at the large blisters on her shoulders. The accident happened two days ago when Miaoqing came to give the queen mother's reward, when Miaoqing put down her things and casually asked where Zhiya was, Zhihui didn't think much about it and told her that Zhiya went to the imperial dining room to get some ingredients for the kitchen. I didn't think that Miaoqing also happened to have something to do and needed to go to the imperial dining room, but the two of them met in the imperial dining room, and there was a tragedy where the hot water boiling in the copper kettle was accidentally spilled on Zhiya's back. Afterwards, Ji-ah was afraid that Lee Yoon-hee would find out and blame her for doing things badly, so she only said that she was slightly injured, and did not tell anyone other than Ji-hye that the injury was serious.

"Do you know what the princess is looking for me? Help me find a clean shirt, but I don't dare to let the princess see the clue. As he spoke, he stood up and put on his shoes and socks staggeringly.

"Your injuries are not healed, and it is difficult to move...... Otherwise, I'll get back the truth to your master, right? Your body is not good to toss anymore! Zhihui supported her, but she couldn't bear to let her good sister suffer.

"It doesn't matter. Don't let the master wait, otherwise it will be another punishment. With that, he pushed away Ji-hye's hand and slowly walked towards the main hall despite the pain.

"Slave and maid, please say hello to the master!" Ji-ah pretended to salute Lee Yoon-hee as usual.

"If you are lazy and slippery, if you are slightly injured, you will hide for three or two days and not work, you will die!" Lee Yoon-hee pushed Ji-ah's head hard, but it was still Mama Kim who persuaded her to hurry up and get down to business, so she stopped scolding Ji-ah. Lee Yoon-hee sat back in his chair for a long time, and instructed Ji-hye to close the door of the main hall and guard the door to prevent anyone from entering, while he and Mama Kim had to check this legendary "real princess"! She raised her chin arrogantly, and pointed to Zhiya, who was still kneeling, and gave an order to Mama Jin: "Pick off this's clothes to this palace, and this palace wants to see what the 'injury' has become!" ”

Without saying a word, Mama Jin controlled Zhiya with brute force, and stripped her upper body in three strokes and five divisions. Zhiya couldn't resist, so she could only cry aggrievedly.

When Lee Yoon-hee saw the miserable ulcerating pustules on Ji-ah's back, instead of showing any sympathy and pity, he became more and more angry: "Good you scheming bad thing! I still know how to cheat by self-harm! As she spoke, she smashed the Queen's bracelet into Zhihui's face, and the hard jade hit the corner of Zhiya's mouth, and she could even taste the smell of blood after her teeth were loose.

"The slave doesn't understand what the princess is talking about! The slave concealed the injury because she was afraid that the master would be upset. This injury was not self-inflicted by the slave maid, but accidentally caused by Aunt Miaoqing. Slaves...... I really don't know what I've done wrong! Zhiya confessed in a hoarse voice while crying.

"Dare to quibble? Oh, I really didn't expect it! Say, are you spreading rumors in the palace? I dare to say that I am the real girl! Is there such a thing! Lee Yoon-hee lifted Ji-ah's chin resentfully and made her look directly into her eyes.

"The slave and the maid are wronged! The slave has never heard such a statement, let alone spread rumors? The slave has been by your side since she was eight years old, and her loyalty to you is evident from day to day, so how can she do anything to slander the reputation of the princess! Ji-ah cried and cried out.

Lee Yoon-hee lets go of Ji-ah's chin in disgust, but doesn't believe her generous statement. Lee Yoon-hee's suspicion of Ji-ah's background at this time is even heavier, and she even believes and fears that Ji-ah is the "real" princess.

"Bold slave, do you think the princess is soft-hearted and easy to deceive? Don't pretend to be pathetic there! In order to covet Ronghua, he did not hesitate to slander his master, falsify his life experience, and dare to shamelessly cry out for injustice? There are only a few of us who know that the princess's birthmark has fallen off, and Zhihui and I are naturally not the kind of ungrateful people who betray the Lord, and I don't think there will be anyone else except you. You must have thought that the princess's birthmark was gone, and you yourself made the flesh and blood on your back blurry and illegible, so that even if you pretend to be a princess, you will have no proof of death! What a vicious scheming! "Mama Kim found a reasonable charge for Ji-ah for Lee Yoon-hee before her defense collapsed in her heart.

"That's right! That's right! You're trying to impersonate Hongu! You ruthless girl, for the sake of glory and dignity, you are even willing to pay for your own body, you can really do everything! Lee Yoon-hee found an outlet for his fear, and suddenly he had a vicious hope. She rushed to Zhiya and slapped her a few times, her mood was a little more relaxed, and said, "Mama Jin, tie up this and lock her up in the small kitchen, and guard her strictly." No one is allowed to use the small kitchen these days, and she will be cleaned up after the palace finds out everything! ”

"Yes." Mama Kim twisted Zhiya's arm neatly, pushed her all the way to the small kitchen, and tied her hands and feet firmly.

As Ji-ah passes by the door, she sets her eyes on Ji-hye, who is guarding the side, and Ji-hye has nothing to do but return a look of pity and helplessness. Ji-hye listens to the conversation inside the door clearly, and when she hears them talk about words like "birthmark" and "scar", Ji-hye always subconsciously touches the scar on her shoulder blade. After seeing Zhiya's fate, she was even more cold in a sweat. This scar from childhood is hidden by Ji-hye as a secret that she is ashamed to see, and now she is glad that she never told anyone about it.

Detaining Hao Ji Ah and sending Ji Hye away, Lee Yoon-hee can't wait to ask Mama Kim about her secret story.

"Mama, tell Hongu quickly! This palace really can't wait, the more this matter drags on, the more dangerous it becomes, you tell the truth earlier, and we can come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. Lee Yoon-hee said in a tone that could not be refused.

"If the old slave says everything, will the princess forgive the old slave for his sins?" Mama Kim burst into tears before she spoke, and Lee Yun-hee nodded subconsciously.

Mama Kim began to tell the secret past that had been sealed for many years.

Twenty-two years ago, shortly after the current lord of the state of Juryo ascended the throne, the queen became pregnant. At that time, there were only two concubines in the harem of Juli, and the queen was pregnant and could not sleep, and the lord of the country in her prime was inevitably empty and lonely. The lord of the country, who frequently goes in and out of the queen's bedroom, was accidentally attracted by the palace maid Jin Lingzhi, who was also in her prime, and then the plot naturally became a greedy joy for young men and women. The lord of the country was afraid that the queen would feel uncomfortable, so he promised to give Jin Lingzhi a title after the queen gave birth, and the girl's affectionate Jin Lingzhi also believed it.

There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, but I didn't expect that the indulgence of that night would make the golden lingzhi beads secretly knotted. After the pregnancy, the woman began to become anxious and greedy, and Jin Lingzhi urged the lord of the country to accept her as a concubine and give the child in her womb its due status. It's a pity that the dew marriage is more affectionate than the knot, not to mention that one is the noble mother of the country, and the other is a lowly maid? Naturally, the lord of the kingdom did not agree to Jin Lingzhi's request, and did not allow her to tell others about her pregnancy, especially not to be known by the queen. And the misfortune is that soon the queen found out about Jin Lingzhi's abnormality, and under the pressure, Jin Lingzhi was forced to make up a lie under the warning of the lord of the country - he was pregnant with Jin Sicheng, a good guard. The queen was ashamed and drove Jin Lingzhi out of the palace, but the kind and unaware Jin Sicheng accepted her.

After that, as everyone knows, Jin Lingzhi married Jin Sicheng, who lost his wife, became Pear Blossom's stepmother, and gave birth to a child who is actually the blood of the country's lord.

"What about the kid? Didn't she die young? The more Lee Yun-hee listened, the more her breathing became shorter, and she seemed to have vaguely guessed the truth that was enough to shock the world.

"That kid...... She's a princess! It is the Queen's child who has died, and you are my daughter! "Mama Jin is in tears.

"Nope! Hongu doesn't believe it! This palace is the eldest daughter of Queen Guryeo, how can it be your child? Don't talk nonsense! Lee Yun-hee could not accept this fact.

"The stakes are very high, the old slave doesn't dare to say anything, everything is true! On the day of the full moon of the eldest princess, I brought you into the palace and dropped the bag with the eldest princess. I don't want my daughter to be born the daughter of a lowly guard, and you also have royal blood in you, why can't you enjoy the honor of a princess? Why is it that her child is like a jewel, and my child is like a mustard? I'm not reconciled, I want my daughter to be the pride of the sky! Mama Jin hasn't slept a day in all these years, and she regrets her confusion very much.

"So, the birthmark on my back is fake? That's why it's fading and disappearing? Lee Yoon-hee couldn't help but think of Ji-ah's hot shoulders, as if he wanted to paint a real plum blossom birthmark through memory.

"It was painted by the old slave with sand guarding the palace, so it will disappear after the princess sleeps for the first time." Mama Kim felt guilty and embarrassed.

"So, the queen mother's child is dead?" If, as rumored to say, the child died before a month, then she didn't have to be too nervous, and now there was no proof of death.

"Old slave...... The old slave has done sin, and he really can't bear to kill again...... He gave the child to a family living in a remote fishing village for adoption, and then she was never heard from. Mama Kim snorted. In fact, she also secretly paid attention to the child, but the year after it was sent to the fishing village, the adopted family sold the child elsewhere, and there is no way to trace it.

"Since you've made a difference, why don't you do it simply? Now, if that child is found alive, we will all have to see Hades together! Could it be that the kid is really Zhiya? How did she coincidentally enter the palace and become the maid of the palace! "As the saying goes, when you are constantly suffering, you will be in turmoil!

When she sent the child away, the old slave was afraid that her plum blossom birthmark would arouse suspicion, so he burned the birthmark with a hot spoon...... "Every time she recalls that scene, she can even smell the smell of burnt skin and flesh lingering on the tip of her nose, and the scar left on the tiger's mouth back then is also faintly painful."

Lee Yoon-hee took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and finally made a decision: "It seems that Ji-ah can't stay." "The top priority is not only to solve the trouble of Zhiya, but also to start with the people who picked up the children from the fishing village and track down the people who bought the children back then. But Dahan and Guryeo are so far away that they can't be found in a moment or a half. What's even more unfortunate is that she didn't know that the person she was looking for had been found by the queen's people one step in advance.
