Feng Jiuer was stunned. Looking at the little eunuch's red hands, she completely calmed down.
Yes, as soon as she left the house, her father killed a palace maid.
If she hurts herself, will all the maids and eunuchs in this room have to be punished?
The royal family is the most ruthless. No one of these servants working in the royal family takes their lives seriously.
She just... almost got into trouble again.
"Then, can't I set a precedent and bury this guilty palace maid in a dignified manner?"
"Princess..." The young eunuch and the maids looked at each other and saw that the new princess didn't seem to be ruthless.
After everyone thought for a while, the little eunuch said: "Princess, if you want this matter to go away quickly, as for whether to bury it or not, it's best for the princess... not to interfere."
The emperor sent the little palace maid to death in order to give everyone a warning and let them know what they can and cannot do in the future.
It's not that they are ruthless, but in a palace like this, where everyone is in danger and the head on their neck seems to fall off at any time, how can they still care about others?
"Not only can't you interfere with her burial, but you can't even give her less paper money."
Another palace maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Feng Jiuer: "Princess, please... let go of this matter."
Feng Jiuer took another look at the body wrapped in white cloth, then stood up from the ground, turned around, and turned away.
"I understand, I will not interfere in this matter again."
She left, and after entering her bedroom, she never came out again that whole night.
Everyone was worried about the princess's condition, but every time the palace maid cautiously went in to visit, she only saw the princess standing in front of the window, looking at the night outside in a daze.
They once advised her to have a good rest, but the princess didn't listen at all.
I don't know what she is thinking or what she is going to do, but if the princess doesn't sleep, no one dares to sleep either.
One by one, they stood guard outside. The princess stood all night, and they also stood guard all night. No one dared to neglect.
Until the next morning, when the third prince came, everyone was still standing guard outside Feng Jiuer's bedroom with dark circles under his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Feng Jiang walked over quickly. Seeing this formation, he suddenly became a little anxious: "Where is the princess?"
"Go back to the third prince, the princess is inside." A young eunuch bent down and saluted and replied.
Feng Jiang waved his hand: "Prepare breakfast for the princess. Except for those who have to do something, everyone else is going to rest."
These people knew at a glance that they must have been keeping watch here all night last night, and there was no point in continuing to keep watch.
The maids and eunuchs finally dispersed. Fengjiang raised his hand and knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside. Fengjiang said through the door: "Little girl, are your clothes neat?"
There was still no response. Fengjiang hesitated and finally pushed the door open.
Feng Jiuer's thin figure was still standing by the window, but the scenery in front of her had changed from the dark night to the bright morning light.
Is everything over? No, it's just that the night has passed and the morning light has arrived.
But in fact, all this has never happened at all.
"What are you doing standing here?" Feng Jiang felt uncomfortable when he saw her like this.
"Don't tell Brother Sanhuang that you stood here all night!"
"Yes." Feng Jiuer nodded. She didn't notice it just now, but now she realized that her legs were really uncomfortable, sore and numb, and she couldn't walk anymore.
Her body swayed, and Fengjiang immediately went over and helped her sit down on the chair.
"What's the point of you being like this?" He sighed helplessly. He wanted to say something to her, but he didn't know where to start.
He had heard everything about what happened at the Princess Palace last night.
Seeing that no one was watching outside, he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Did you really just meet the man who likes you last night?"
Jiu'er raised her eyelids and glanced at him, but only for a moment, her doubts disappeared.
There are no secrets at all in this palace.
She still just nodded, but this time, she didn't even say anything in response.
"What kind of man is he? Did you meet him when we were in Bieyuan?"
Seeing that Feng Jiuer didn't seem to have any urge to chat, Fengjiang thought for a while and then asked tentatively: "Are you still feeling sad about the little palace maid last night?"
"Shouldn't I be sad?" Feng Jiuer stared at him.
Why does everyone seem to not care about that little palace maid?
That was a living life! One day ago, she was still alive!
Jiu'er knew that there was no point in being sad at this time.
But Fengjiang's relaxed tone really made her feel uncomfortable.
"It's not that you shouldn't be sad, but it's useless to be sad. Besides, you will always live in the palace in the future, and you will soon get used to this kind of thing."
Seeing her glaring at him, Fengjiang explained: "I just want to tell you that instead of being sad, you should think about what to do in the future so that you can do what you want to do and avoid the same thing happening."
When he was a child, he also got into trouble with many eunuchs and maids because he didn't understand the rules in the palace.
Gradually, he can probably tell what can be done and what will step on his father's bottom line.
However, the saying, "Being with the king is like being with the tiger" has always been true.
Even if you can guess where your father's bottom line is, next time, his bottom line may have changed.
In short, their father's thoughts were changeable and it was not something they could guess.
"But I can't just stay in this palace forever just because I'm afraid of hurting others."
In fact, she didn't want to stay in this palace for a moment.
However, under the current situation, if I don't stay here, it may not only be the palace maids and eunuchs who will be affected.
It is possible that even those people will be implicated by her and lose their lives.
"I understand how you feel." Feng Jiang let out a long breath.
He could understand it because he didn't want to stay in this palace either.
Although he is a prince, he has lived here since he could remember.
However, everything in the palace only made him feel cold and without any sense of security.
Even though there are two royal brothers, in fact, the three brothers have little contact with each other.
Everyone lives in a different palace, and everyone does their own thing. Except for occasionally having meals with their father, they rarely see each other at other times.
Therefore, there is no affection between brothers. After being brothers for more than 20 years, it is better to be close to this little girl who has only been back for a few days.
Feng Jiang sat down aside, looked at her, and suddenly said with a smile: "If you are really dissatisfied with this palace, then find a way to change it and turn it into something you like!"
