    In the past few days, something not big or small has happened in Prince Xi's Mansion.

    A maid in the palace eloped with a servant next to Guanshi Zhang in the front yard. Guanshi Zhang was so furious that he sent people to search inside and outside the capital for several days, but there was no news.

    Guanshi Zhang is a smiling tiger, no matter whether he is facing the superior or inferior, he is always smiling, but now he didn't have a smile on his face, so he walked into the south courtyard with a straight face.

    Qingyun's room was surrounded by many people, and the concubines scattered when they saw Guanshi Zhang coming, Qingyun came out with a pale face, "Guan Zhang." Guanshi Zhang patiently entered the

    room before saying: "The little girl next to you Girl, what's your name?"

    "It's called Huang Ying."

    "You didn't know anything beforehand?"

    Qingyun's eyes were empty, "How did I know, I was so kind to her...but she left quietly..."

    She put everything she could Everything I gave was given to her, trust, money, and even the few sincerity. In the deep courtyard of Prince Xi's Mansion, they told each other about the past, slept in the same bed, and planned the future together after fleeing, but they didn't expect that she took her own money and followed others.

    She watched Guan Shi's mouth open and close, unable to hear a word, and kept replaying the scene of the day Huang Ying left the South Yard in her mind.

    "I'm going out for a while, and the ginseng soup is ready, remember to drink it later."

    Seeing that Huang Ying had changed into new clothes, she asked where she was going.

    She wrinkled her nose, and said unwillingly: "Who else has already agreed to exchange things for money, but insists on seeing me today? I'm so annoying. I always use hands and feet.

    " He comforted her and taught her how to protect herself, but she ignored one point, if she really didn't mean anything to that servant, why bother to change into new clothes to meet him?

    I trusted her so much that I didn't notice such an obvious thing.

    She didn't know when Manager Zhang left. When she came back to her senses, she was the only one left in the house, and there was no one moving around outside the courtyard. The last light of early winter dusk shone into the house, and she couldn't help shivering.

    It was too cold, without Huang Ying, she didn't even know what to wear.

    Her twenty-nine years of life was a real failure. She hated everyone, hated the stepmother who sold her into the brothel, hated the old man who bought her virginity, hated all the men who pressed her on top of her at night, hated the man who forced her into the palace... Guanshi Zhang hates King Xi who treats her like nothing, and also hates Huang Ying... Those beautiful and humiliating past events have become the shackles around her neck at this moment, making her unable to breathe.

    She has nothing left.

    At night, a fire was ignited in the south courtyard of Prince Xi's mansion. The disheveled concubines fled out of the south courtyard in a hurry, huddled together like quails and shivered, watching the servants rush to put out the fire.

    "Everyone...have you all come out?"

    "It seems that there is one missing..."

    "Who is it? Go find it!"
