Chapter 8: The Humble Maid in the Prince's Mansion (8)

After Chu Xiaohe left, Ke Xin hurriedly walked up to him and said flattering words.

"Crown Princess, His Royal Highness truly loves you deeply. We servants can see that. Even though we are in a hurry to review memorials today, we are still waiting for you to wake up and have dinner together."

Ke Xin was about to say something, but Tang Mingzhu turned around and looked at her with deep eyes.

Ke Xin was startled.

"My lady? What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Tang Mingzhu trusted Ke Xin the most, so she asked.

"Ke Xin, tell me, does the prince really like me? Will he fall in love with someone else?" Tang Mingzhu said in despair.

When Ke Xin heard this, she immediately said "Pooh".

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? His Royal Highness's love for you is clear to all. How can you doubt His Royal Highness's sincerity?"

"You know, even if the Queen Queen puts pressure on you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still only have you, right? No concubines, let alone side concubines!"

Ke Xin's words also shook Tang Mingzhu's doubts.

Seeing that the Crown Princess was wavering, Ke Xin quickly called out to Tang Yu and said, "Cui Liu, tell me, His Highness loves the Crown Princess so much, how could he not like her? Is that right?"

Tang Yu also said, "Yes, Madam, if His Royal Highness knew that you were so suspicious of the Crown Prince, he would be very sad. Sister Ke Xin is right. His Royal Highness's love for Madam is clear to all!"

Tang Mingzhu was completely shaken.

Looks remorseful.

Yes, the Queen Mother has said it many times, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never taken a concubine.

Even after three years of marriage, she still has no children.

Not only did His Highness not get angry and blame her, but he never put any pressure on her.

How could she doubt His Highness' sincerity just because of a tooth mark?
Moreover, the tooth marks might have belonged to a man. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position was feared by the other princes all the time, so it was understandable that he took action.

Why did she doubt it?

Especially after listening to what Ke Xin said, I felt that it was inappropriate.

"Yes, Ke Xin, you are right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good to me, how could I doubt him? I must have been too stressed out about the child's affairs during this period!"

Tang Mingzhu comforted herself.

Ke Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was extremely loyal to Tang Mingzhu, and especially believed deeply in the Crown Prince's love for the Crown Princess. However, she hated to see any discord between her master and her mistress.

"Your Highness, Princess Yunjia is here! She's waiting for you in the main hall." While Tang Mingzhu was thinking, the maid came forward to report.

When Tang Yu heard that Liu had arrived, he tensed up for a moment.

Liu is not Tang Mingzhu, she must disguise herself well and cannot be discovered at all, otherwise she will have to use Liu's methods.

If we find anything wrong, we will definitely eradicate it to prevent future troubles.

Tang Mingzhu's heart, which had been hanging in the balance just now, seemed to have found its backbone all of a sudden.

She stood up in a hurry and said, "Quick, quick, let mother come over. No, I will go myself. Mother comes at the right time. I have a lot to say to her."

Tang Mingzhu has lost her former grace.

Tang Yu guessed that even Ke Xin and her dissuasion just now did not completely reassure Tang Mingzhu. She still suspected that the prince had someone else.

"Cui Liu and Ke Xin can go with me. You guys stay here."

Tang Mingzhu had already walked out of the room. She turned around and looked at the large group of maids following her and gave orders with a stern face.

Now everyone she looks at looks like a little bitch trying to seduce the prince.

At this time, she trusted Tang Yu and Ke Xin very much. One was her loyal personal maid, and the other was Tang Yu, whom she thought she had under her control.

After being bullied for so many years, she thought Tang Yu had become spineless and didn't dare to resist her at all.

Besides, Tang Yu showed in front of her that he didn't want to be taken as a concubine by the prince, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Tang Yu lowered her head with a faint smile on her lips. It seemed that she had done a good job these days, and Tang Mingzhu's trust in her was no less than Ke Xin's.

It’s really...excellent.

It will make it easier for her to take subsequent actions.

The maids behind her stopped and saluted respectfully, "Yes, we obey your command!" Tang Mingzhu glanced at the more than ten maids behind her, but she couldn't figure out who seduced the prince.

He could only turn around angrily and leave with Ke Xin and Tang Yu.

Tang Yu stepped forward and held Tang Mingzhu's arm, "My lady, don't worry. After all, the Madam is here. I believe the truth will be revealed soon."

Ke Xin's position was taken away by Tang Yu, but Ke Xin didn't say anything.

Anyway, she was so happy that she had someone loyal to the Crown Princess.

Tang Mingzhu felt relieved after hearing this. "Yes, Cui Liu is right. Mother grew up in the palace. She will definitely help me deal with these things. Don't let me catch that little bitch. I must chop her into pieces and feed her to the dogs to relieve my hatred!"

Tang Yu replied in a low voice very respectfully, "Yes, I believe that the Crown Princess will find the maid who seduced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In the main hall, Liu, dressed in a dark green dress, was sitting at the side and drinking tea. Her every move and gesture showed the demeanor of a noble lady, as if she had grown up by the Queen Mother's side in the palace.

Liu's appearance and psychology are exactly the opposite. She looks gentle and pretty, which makes people feel good about her. It is impossible to imagine how such a person could have such a vicious mind.

As Tang Yu supported Tang Mingzhu and they stepped into the main hall, Liu hurriedly stood up and saluted Tang Mingzhu.

"Your Highness, may your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Mother, why do you have to be like this between you and me? There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to bow to me."

Tang Mingzhu hurried forward and helped Liu up personally.

The mother and daughter holding hands is a picture of deep mother-daughter love.

Tang Yu watched from the side and stood respectfully with Ke Xin, serving as a perfect background.

There were only three of them in the main hall, as well as Liu and her personal nanny, Nanny Wang, who was also ruthless and loyal to Liu Ruoyun.

Her mother was poisoned to death by this Nanny Wang.

As soon as Tang Mingzhu saw Liu, she started crying.

After hearing this, Liu frowned slightly, "Mingzhu, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? The tooth marks are still on your palm?"

Tang Mingzhu's heart ached when she thought of that scene. "Mother, I am sure that I did not see it wrong. There is indeed a tooth mark on the palm of the Crown Prince's left hand. It looks very much like a woman's tooth mark, and it is already bleeding. But the Crown Prince did not even ask the imperial physician to bandage it."

"Mother, tell me, is it possible that he deliberately protected that woman for fear of being discovered? That is why no one knew that His Royal Highness was injured."

"If this is true, mother, what should I do?"

Liu's face was solemn and she patted the back of Tang Mingzhu's hand comfortingly.

The voice was gentle, "My son, don't be anxious. The matter has not yet come to a conclusion. Don't rush to make a conclusion, and don't make a scene in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of this matter."

"If this is false, His Royal Highness will be annoyed with you. If it is true... His Royal Highness will only protect that woman even more."

Tang Mingzhu wanted to cry even more.

Liu looked at Tang Yu calmly.

Asked instead.

"Mingzhu, why did you bring her here?"

Tang Yu's heart trembled.

Liu still noticed her. She thought she had enough to worry about with Tang Mingzhu's affairs and had no time to talk to her.

Tang Mingzhu's voice choked as she looked at Tang Yu, who was standing with Ke Xin with his head down.

"Mother, Cui Liu is loyal to me, so you can rest assured. Last time I wanted to marry her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she refused."

Liu suddenly realized, but still warned.

"Just be loyal, but don't have any other thoughts. The Crown Princess is innocent and kind, but if I find out that there is something wrong with you, I will never let you go. I'm sure you don't want to follow your mother's footsteps."

Tang Yu immediately knelt down respectfully, pretending to tremble in his voice, "In reply to the princess, I dare not. Heaven can bear witness to my loyalty to the Crown Princess! I will never betray the Crown Princess."

"Okay, mother, I can still control Cui Liu, a maid, so let's talk about my daughter quickly."

Liu's attention was quickly diverted to Tang Mingzhu, so she didn't notice Tang Yu's momentary stiff expression.

In her previous life, she was tortured by Liu since she was a child. Even if she were to come back to her own world, she would still be afraid of Liu's eyes.

Such psychological shadows cannot be eliminated overnight.
