The guards hesitated, and the two men went over and brought the wounded maid to the palace.

The injured palace maid had several knives on her body, which looked a little serious.

The guards brought some ointment gauze that they usually prepared to stop bleeding and helped the palace maid to bandage her wounds.

Ling Xiaoning asked someone to change the palace maid into a clean dress and rest in a room.

After everything is done. Ling Xiaoning went to the room to check on the palace maid's situation.

"Why do you have some injuries on your body?"

"Slave ......"

Originally, the palace maids were responsible for doing some rough work and washing clothes, because the kilometers were also reduced, and their work became very heavy and hard.

If you can't finish your work, you won't be able to eat well. She really couldn't stand this kind of hard life, and wanted to sneak away at night and was discovered by the patrolling guards.

After regaining the ability to do things, he was punched and kicked, and the eldest princess who was in charge of things was not happy, so she directly used a knife to cut the wound on her body.

Listening to what those people meant, they also wanted to kill the male fish as punishment, so that others would not dare to do similar things again. The palace maid's face was pale, and she finally found an opportunity to escape.

It's just that escaping is still likely to be caught by the municipal party committee, and it will be a dead end at that time. She risked the danger, hoping to meet a kind master, and she met Ling Xiaoning to save her life.

"It seems that if you stay in this palace, you will be in danger, so you might as well live here for a while. After a while, the situation has stabilized, and I will find a way to get you out of the palace...... What is your name? ”

"Little Lotus."

"Xiaolian, you have been working with me for the past few days, don't worry, no one will dare to come and arrest you in me, so you don't have to worry about any danger."

Xiaolian smiled. "Thank you, master!"

"You don't need to call me any master, you can call me Miss like everyone else."

"Xiaolian knows!"

Ling Xiaoning is not usually a particularly enthusiastic person, that is, he will do something good when he encounters something occasionally.

She asked the other palace maids to make some nutritious things for Xiaolian to eat, Xiaolian was seriously injured just now, and it was inconvenient to do any work.

It will take at least seven or eight days for the injuries on his body to be fine, and then he can do things.

Xiaolian was very grateful, even if she couldn't do heavy work, she followed behind like a fart worm after a day.

Xiaolian gradually became more talkative around her, often talking about things she encountered in the countryside.

She is also a hard-working child, and her father's family is already poor, and she gave birth to five or six daughters at once. Her two sisters were sold to rich families as concubines, and because she used to have dark skin, no one could look at her, so she was sent to the palace as a palace maid a few years ago.

On the surface, he looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but in fact, he is sixteen or seventeen years old because of malnutrition.

Although she has been in the palace for two years, because of her timid personality and not very good at talking, she has always done the hardest things, which is quite hard.

She has only been in the palace of His Royal Highness the eldest prince for a few days, and she is especially grateful to Ling Xiaoning for taking care of her.

Ling Xiaoning knew that Xiaolian's life experience was quite bitter, so she was very sympathetic, and even wanted to be commensurate with her sisters.

and promised to wait for the civil strife in the palace to subside, and then take Xiaolian to his own courtyard to help Xiaolian find a suitable good in-law to marry.

If Xiaolian's family is poor, she can also help.

Xiaolian was repeatedly grateful, thinking that Ling Xiaoning was a living bodhisattva, and the blessings cultivated in his previous life would allow the two of them to meet.

Ling Xiaoning only smiled, if it weren't for the relationship between His Royal Highness the eldest prince and his ability, he might not be able to do this kind of thing if he wanted to do it.

Sometimes things you don't care about may affect others for a lifetime and make people remember them for a lifetime.

If it's a good deed, why not do it?

In recent days, His Royal Highness the Great Prince has also been particularly busy, arriving in the palace on a busy day, resting in a hurry, and leaving again in a quarter of an hour.

He looked tired. Although Ling Xiaoning felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she was also a little unbearable, so she didn't say anything.

I just hope that the situation will stabilize soon and there will be no other accidents.

One morning.

As soon as it was dawn, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and I don't know what was going on.

Ling Xiaoning slowly got up from the bed, got dressed and pushed the door open, and there was no one who could no longer be seen outside.

"What's going on? Aren't they usually allowed to leave the palace casually? Could it be because something happened to the king? ”

She couldn't help but change her face, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the palace gate.

Xiaolian then ran over as well, panting for air. "Miss, where are you going? Miss, wait for me! ”

"I ...... You see the guards in the palace, they don't just walk around, and now they can't see anyone, so something big must have happened. ”

"If that's the case, there may be danger here at any time, and we should find a safe place to hide."

"But this is just speculation, what happened, we have to go outside to see!"

"Miss, it's better to stay in the palace first, and I'll go out to find out the news!"

"That's okay, you go and come back quickly, and if there's something wrong, come back quickly."

"Miss, I know."

Xiaolian ran out not long after she ran out and ran back again, panting even more.

"Something happened, I ran out not long ago and met a eunuch, and the eunuch said that His Royal Highness the eldest prince had an accident!"

"What could happen to him?"

"His Royal Highness the eldest prince seems to have angered some officials in the court, and was ambushed on the way back to the palace, and now I don't know where to catch him...... There were also some guards who were supposed to ascend to His Royal Highness the Great Prince's sudden mutiny, which led to His Royal Highness being quickly caught. ”

"How could this happen? They're not all ......."

"I see that something has happened to His Royal Highness the eldest prince, and the next one to have an accident is ours...... It's better to find a safe place to hide it first! His Royal Highness the eldest prince is kind and intelligent, and he will definitely be able to save the day...... What we can do is not to cause trouble to His Royal Highness. ”

"What you said also has some truth, but now that the palace is in danger everywhere, where can we hide safely?"

"When I escaped, I knew that a place was very secret, and it would definitely not be easy to find out if we went there to hide!"

This happened suddenly, Ling Xiaoning only felt that his brain was blank, and he couldn't calm down at all, and his normal thinking could only listen to Xiaolian's words and hurriedly run into a courtyard together.
