Look me in the eyes

The maid's eyes widened and she clenched her fingers so hard that her nails started to dig into her palms. It was over she thought in her head, the queen knew everything, if she was to confess then she might as well drag her and Xiao Min's family together with them. 

The maid was worried more about her family than her life, at that moment she decided to pretend naive, even if the queen was to kill her if she didn't confess before dying then no matter what the queen do in the future she wouldn't be able to do anything about the blame that would be placed on top of her head. 

Maybe if she was to sacrifice her life as well then concubine Ji and the Emperor would surely punish the Queen for killing two innocent women. 

" This one does not know what the queen is talking about," the maid said having determined what she needed to do now. " This one has never done anything against her conscience."
