Seeing Su Nuo inside, the servant girl seemed to be afraid that she wouldn't go in. She only said in a bad tone, "Su Nuo, you're not going over yet. Housekeeper Zhou is looking for you."
When Little Qian heard this, he was instantly angered and turned around to glare fiercely at the servant girl. He was just about to speak when Su Nuo pulled him back. Su Nuo dried her tears and said, "I understand."
The servant girl glanced at Su Nuo in disgust, "Then hurry up and go." He then looked at the empty room and muttered, "I'm really sick to be here." As he spoke, he left.
Little Qian was so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to go out and argue with the servant girl, but Su Nuo just pulled her back and said, "I'm fine. Quickly go back and do something."
"But …" Little Qian was put in a difficult position.
"Hurry up and go." Su Nuo said. Her expression was calm, without a hint of sadness.
After hesitating for a while, Little Qian still left. As a result, she didn't see Su Nuo look at her back with her sorrowful eyes.
She was a useless person, unable to protect those who were good to her. So, at least she couldn't let such a thing happen again.
Su Nuo looked deeply at the empty room before leaving.
When Housekeeper Zhou saw Su Nuo, he was very excited. Su Nuo had an illusion: maybe he had a deep relationship with Housekeeper Zhou, but she had forgotten about it.
Housekeeper Zhou gave Su Nuo a complicated look, "Finally, I can speak with you alone." Looking at Su Nuo who was still standing, he said, "Take a seat."
Su Nuo held her hands and was a bit reserved. After all, Housekeeper Zhou didn't talk to her often. All these years in the Prince's Mansion, Housekeeper Zhou could probably count every single word he said to her with his ten fingers. However, he still sat down meekly.
She knew that the next words would be very long.
Housekeeper Zhou also sat down. After a moment of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth: "Su Nuo, let me tell you a story."
"Yes." She also knew that the story must be about her master.
Housekeeper Zhou's eyes drooped, a tinge of sadness in his eyes. As he drifted away, Su Nuo just waited quietly. Then Housekeeper Zhou spoke, his voice sounding somewhat hollow and low.
"In the past, there was a servant girl. Like all servant girls in the palace, she did things seriously and cautiously, and was also very kind and warm-hearted. She would always spare no effort in helping others. But one day it was the servant girl's turn to be on duty and serve the emperor, and when the emperor got drunk that night, he took her and she got pregnant. "
Su Nuo did not look up, but Housekeeper Zhou's calm voice made her feel like this person was suffering, but she did not say anything. There were many things that she knew, as if this story was something she needed to know.
Housekeeper Zhou paused before continuing, "Actually, such things are very common in the records of past generations. Thus, the title of servant was bestowed upon her by the Emperor. From then on, the Emperor never thought of this insignificant servant girl again. And this servant girl has given birth to a prince. " "But even if she gave birth to a prince, it's useless, because that servant girl doesn't attract the emperor's love. So, even if she isn't considered a servant girl, even if she has given birth to a dragon son, her life is still worse than a servant girl's. Not only does she have to suffer from the mischievous thoughts of the other concubines, even the servants who were on good terms with her have to start ridiculing her. Even a good meal doesn't have a use of her.
Su Nuo stared at the ground. When the story came to this point, no matter how silly she was, she knew that the servant girl that no one doted on was her master's concubine, and the unpampered prince was her master.
But ah, she had thought of thousands of different stories, but she had never thought that her master had a past similar to hers.
Housekeeper Zhou let out a deep sigh. It was a very long sigh, as if he was about to spit out all the unsightly things that had happened in the past.
Housekeeper Zhou looked at Su Nuo and said, "This unlucky servant girl is the prince's mother."
If she could, Su Nuo would rather have sliced through it with a knife than end it like this, but Su Nuo did not say anything. Now, she wanted to hear the whole story from Housekeeper Zhou, she wanted to know everything about her master, including the painful and lonely past that she had never known before. She wanted to know everything, she wanted to know everything.
"Oh, the palace." Housekeeper Zhou said: "Those who are not favored can always be stepped on by everyone. The prince was looked down upon by everyone, humiliated by everyone, and slowly grew up under their feet. Such a small person, he was always more sensible than any other child, did not cry nor make a fuss, he always suffered no matter what kind of humiliation, because he knew that as long as he resisted, not only he would suffer, even his mother would suffer, so he silently endured everything. But even so, the heavens still won't let them go. At that time, the prince was mischievous by the other princes and got sick, so the disease was not serious, but because there were no herbs, it was delayed, and it was very serious. The prince's concubine begged everyone who could beg for help, but other than ridiculing her, no one else was willing to help her, and in the end, no one could do anything about it. The prince's concubine knelt outside the queen's palace for three days and three nights before the queen allowed her to come in and get the medicine. "
Su Nuo was confused. Didn't you get the medicine already?
Housekeeper Zhou said, "But the key is here, the prince began to improve after taking that medicine, but one day, many guards suddenly came and took away the prince's head lady. They said that she went in that day and stole the hairpin the emperor gave to the empress, and then … killed her."
Su Nuo suddenly raised her head and looked at Housekeeper Zhou in disbelief. She didn't understand. Just like that, there was no one left who was fine. It was all because of a hairpin.
Yes, she had forgotten that she was a female slave, so how could she not be familiar with such things? People like them were born with such lowly lives. In a word, it didn't need to be real or fake to end their lives.
If the higher-ups could pin a crime on him, they would have to put in a lot of effort. If it wasn't, they would just directly push it off and kill him.
At that time, the prince was only seven years old, only seven years old. For the children of ordinary families, this age was still nothing, but the prince did not cry or make a fuss, and just went back to his room and locked himself up there for two days and two nights. On the third day, his entire body seemed to have gone mad, his eyes were bloodshot, and he kept saying that he would snatch his aunt's head from the hands, and would have rushed out with a knife at the same time.
In truth, it was none of my business, but when I first entered the palace to become a guard, I didn't understand anything at all. The prince's first wife had saved my life, and after that, she was bestowed with a title by the emperor, symbolically asking a few people to serve her, I willingly followed her. Those individuals have no conscience at all. When she left, those individuals also left, without a care for the life and death of the Prince. "
Su Nuo's hands were tightly clenched. She had never thought about this kind of past. It made her feel heartbroken, very heartbroken.
Housekeeper Zhou suddenly smiled. Even though Su Nuo couldn't bear it, she knew that smile was full of pain.
"I was wondering where he went when he passed through that remote area where the prince lived. If I hadn't met him at that time, I wouldn't have known how to deal with him and let him go. Fortunately, he was still young at that time, otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable." At first, I was afraid that this Daoist would tell others about the prince's situation, but that Daoist, who had given the prince some kind of miracle medicine, would calm him down, and then say something to the prince, and the prince would change, becoming — "Steward Zhou was currently trying to find the right word for it," Become more calm, and not a single emotion will be shown on his face, just like — not a child at all, not a child at all, not a child at all. "
"Later on, I went to find Daoist Words because I was worried. Daoist Words told me that the prince suddenly became abnormal because his highness had a strange disease. This kind of strange disease is extremely rare, and ordinary people will not get it. "I had originally thought that a Daoist would have cured the King, but a Daoist told me that he did not cure the disease and only temporarily suppressed it with medicine. As long as there is no more temptation from the King, then everything will be fine for the rest of my life, but as long as it has an attack, then the outcome will not be as simple as it was before. It must be unimaginable and there will be no more medicine to suppress it."
Housekeeper Zhou raised his head to look at Su Nuo with a complicated look in his eyes, "I always thought that the Prince wouldn't ever have an attack in his entire life, because aside from his concubine, I can't think of anyone else the Prince still has such a deep obsession with. But I never thought that it would actually be you who caused this illness."
