Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 52

The situation with Miss Xiao Hua and his highness was only known by those inside the hall. Miss Xiao Hua herself as well as the low-ranked palace maid by her side never left the hall, which meant that the news had definitely been leaked by someone within the hall.

The Hall of Splendor had two eunuchs in charge of things. One was the Exalted Inner Manager Eunuch Fu, the other was Vice Manager Eunuch Chang. The one in charge was Eunuch Fu, but since he would often be out by his highness's side, the rest of the various affairs were handled by Eunuch Chang.

Eunuch Fu appeared to not be managing anything, but no one dared to say he was lax in his duties. He didn't care about the little things, and only managed things concerning the prince himself. Those who crossed a line with the prince would suffer his wrath. Those who suffered his wrath had tragic outcomes.

This was something countless old timers within the Jing Prince Estate had witnessed with their own eyes.

As for Xiao Hua, those with insight could tell at a glance that her placement was arranged by Eunuch Fu. No matter what his plans were, many could at least tell that Eunuch Fu had been in a good mood for this period of time. The reason he was happy had to do with this low-ranked palace maid Xiao Hua.

Those who didn't understand the reason behind it still pretended not to see anything out of fear of Eunuch Fu. Those who understood the reason were even clearer about the implications of Eunuch Fu's actions.

Only after everyone's hard work and efforts had his highness finally shown some interest, but the Jing Consort had suddenly stuck her hand in from the side. No matter what her goal was, the one who leaked her the information was dead for sure.

An Chen and Nana He were both aware of the situation inside the hall, and knew that things definitely weren't so simple. However, they couldn't say it clearly since there were others present.

"Lass Xiao Hua, you don't have to be scared. Go and reply carefully. His highness is there so everything will definitely be fine." Nana He could only comfort Xiao Hua this way.

Xiao Hua forced a smile and nervously followed An Chen.

The main hall was gloriously lit but deadly silent.

Xiao Hua entered from the side door, and upon reaching the center of the hall knelt and kowtowed in respect without looking at anyone's expressions.

"Blessings to your highness, blessings to the consort, blessings to Senior Concubine Qiao and the two Madams."

On the way there, An Chen had already given her a brief overview of the various people inside, so Xiao Hua did not leave anyone out.

The Jing Consort smiling face was like a flower, her attitude extremely warm as she said: "Hurry and rise, no need to make such big salutations. We're all sisters here so you definitely shouldn't be reserved." She indicated for Chun Xiang at her side to go lift Xiao Hua up.

Xiao Hua stood and lowered her head.

"Quick, let me take a look. I haven't seen little sis before." The Jing Consort spoke while motioning with her hand.

The Jing Consort's attitude was extremely friendly and warm, but Xiao Hua felt chills all over her body. She was like a rabbit running towards a trap with a vicious wolf chasing behind her. Even though she knew there was a pit, she had no choice but to proceed.

The moment Xiao Hua approached, her hand was grabbed by the Jing Consort.

The consort's hand was very warm, but Xiao Hua felt a chill penetrate her soul. Through her half closed eyelids she took a glance at the other. The Jing Consort was smiling amicably, but Xiao Hua felt something hidden behind her smile.
