"No, no, you did very well. BenGong was just asking." Tong Xiang saw that she was about to kneel down again and quickly stopped.

From her expression, it could be seen that the Gong Reservoir was not a good place. That's right. Washing toilets did not sound like a good job. Whoever jumped there might have been sent there by someone.

Who knew which idiot would push such a treasure girl out?

One had to know that Cuizhi was not just a little palace maid. Keeping her by his side was an invisible extra life.

After all, no matter how good one's medical skills were, how could they be better than the Holy Doctor's biological granddaughter?

However, this Cuizhi was also a pitiful child. If it wasn't for that year…

Forget it, he would just treat her well from now on.

Thinking of this, Tong Xiang's expression became even more amiable.

"You don't have to be afraid, BenGong is just talking to you," she said gently.

" Yes…" Cuizhi still didn't dare to look at her. She only felt that there was something wrong with the Empress.

"What kind of work do you usually do?"

"This servant is a palace maid. She is usually responsible for trimming the flowers and cleaning the courtyard."

" Oh…Where are the winter dates? Why don't I see her serving them?" Tong Xiang suddenly changed the topic and asked casually.

Dong Zao was the Imperial Concubine's personal servant girl. She was proficient in all kinds of arts, including zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

"Sister Dong Zao hasn't been feeling well these few days and is resting on the bed."

"Oh? How long have you been sick?"

"About ten days." Cuizhi thought for a moment and replied.

"Oh?" Tong Xiang couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart. Ten days, that must be beyond cure.

It was one thing for him to ride roughshod over others with the favor of Noble Consort Yuan, but now that he was nowhere to be seen, he was actually becoming more and more lawless.

" Since she's not in good health, let her go to the laundry workshop when she's better. When she's strong, she won't be sick anymore."

Tong Xiang didn't plan to keep her. This winter jujube wasn't anything good. If she continued to keep it, it would be a disaster in the future.

Cuizhi was a little shocked when she heard this. Dongzao was the favorite person in front of the Imperial Concubine. She was the dowry servant girl who came with her, but the Imperial Concubine actually…

Although Dong Zao was usually a little harsh to her subordinates, her heart was not too bad. When she first arrived and was ostracized, she even spoke up for her.

After all, they had worked together, so Cuizhi still mustered up her courage and wanted to plead for Dong Zao." Empress, Sister Dong Zao has been serving you all this time and is used to it. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to it. Even if she has made some mistakes, she shouldn't be punished to this extent." I hope Imperial Concubine will consider our past relationship and be lenient with me."

Tong Xiang was a little surprised. She was afraid that she was already so afraid, yet she still had the courage to plead for others. She did not know if she was bold or timid.

"Who are you? You want to plead for her?" he asked, pretending to be serious.

Cuizhi's face fell again. It was a pity that she had been frightened by Tong Xiang today.

Cuizhi also felt a wave of regret in her heart. She was really too bold. What kind of personality did the Empress have? She had just given her a good look, but she was actually a little smug and even wanted to interfere with the Empress's decision.

Cuizhi quickly knelt down and lowered her head. She shrunk back into a shrimp and whispered," Your Highness, Sister Dong Zao…has taken care of me a little. Although I can't bear to see her being punished, I don't want Your Highness to lack a caring person to take care of her. That's all. I have no intention of offending Your Highness!"

Hehe, she wasn't considerate. She was heartbroken.

However, he still opened his mouth." Hmm, you're right. Let her be a small manager in the laundry workshop. It's not a loss for her."

After a pause, she continued." But she's gone. She's indeed lacking someone to take care of her. From today onwards, you'll be the head palace maid."

" What?" Cuizhi raised her head in shock. She blinked her eyes in disbelief. This servant, this servant…"

"Are you unwilling?"

"No, no, no, of course not. It is this servant's fortune to be able to serve the Empress. However, this servant has never done any delicate work, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to serve the Empress well."

In fact, she was really unwilling. The Imperial Consort had always been temperamental. She was afraid that if she did not serve her well, she would end up like Dong Zao…

Accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger, and it was very appropriate to describe the imperial concubine.

"Combing your hair and serving tea isn't that difficult, right? You can't even do such a small thing well?"

" No, no…" Cuizhi hesitated for a while before finally agreeing. The Imperial Consort had already spoken. If she still did not agree, it would be ungrateful. If the Empress were to be in a bad mood, she might just kill her right now…

A smile appeared on Tong Xiang's face, and she felt a little more at ease.

I'm sorry, little cutie. I'm different from you. To be able to live in this book world safely, I have to have some reliable people by my side.

"Empress! This official is late, please forgive me, Your Highness."

At this moment, a white-haired old man stumbled in and knelt on the ground.

"This is?" Tong Xiang looked at Cuizhi, somewhat puzzled.

"Replying to Niangniang, this servant thought that you were unwell just now, so I called the imperial physician over."

"I see." Tong Xiang looked at Cuizhi meaningfully, then stretched out her arm.

The imperial physician came over and put his hand on Tong Xiang's arm. He squinted his eyes for a while before saying," Empress, don't worry. This old minister has already checked your pulse carefully. Your body is healthy. It's just that your liver has been a little hot recently. I'll prescribe some medicine to remove dampness and reduce dryness for you."

Tong Xiang yawned." Forget it. Why are you drinking bitter soup for no reason? You can leave."

The imperial physician looked at Cuizhi at the side and was somewhat puzzled. Cuizhi gave him a look and the imperial physician understood.

"Then I will take my leave."

After the imperial physician left, Cuizhi unnaturally tidied Tong Xiang's bedding." Your Majesty, it's still early. You should sleep a little longer."

"What time is it now?"

"It's now a quarter to nine."

"Are you sleepy?"

Cuizhi shook her head. How could she dare to say that she was sleepy?

"I have something to ask you. Do you know when the autumn hunt is?" Tong Xiang nodded.

"In two months," Cuizhi replied.

Two months, that's great!

There were still two months left, and the female lead had yet to enter the palace. There was still a chance.

"When does His Majesty usually have breakfast?"

Tong Xiang wanted to give Mo Rongsu some warmth. After all, they were close to each other…Pfft, after all, to ease their relationship, they had to infiltrate Mo Rongsu's life through these small matters.

Perhaps Mo Rongsu could feel her love and be more lenient towards her.

"This…This servant doesn't know. These are all the responsibilities of the Head Chief by His Majesty's side." Cuizhi didn't know what Tong Xiang was planning, so she continued,"But usually at this time, His Majesty should be about to wake up." Every day, His Majesty has to get up at midnight to review the memorials."

Tong Xiang immediately got out of bed and said in a concerned tone," Quickly help me change. His Majesty is busy every day. As his wife, I can't help him solve his problems, but I have to send him some nourishing meals."

“？？？”Cuizhi did not follow Tong Xiang's train of thought.

"Imperial Concubine, isn't it too early? His Majesty doesn't want to be disturbed when he's reading memorials." Cuizhi quickly called out.

To be precise, he didn't like Tong Xiang to disturb him.

Tong Xiang turned her head and glanced at Cuizhi. Cuizhi's heart thumped, thinking that Tong Xiang was going to get angry.

Who knew that Tong Xiang would suddenly turn around and return to the bed, looking disinterested.

"Oh, then you can go out and wait. I'll sleep for a while more."

Cuizhi was confused and left in confusion.

Tong Xiang closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Since Mo Rongsu did not want her to go over, she would not provoke him. It wasn't like she had to sleep today. She had other things to do when she woke up.

She slept until dawn. Cuizhi came in to change Tongxiang's clothes and wash up.

Yesterday, she was in a daze and didn't pay much attention to it. Today, when she saw her own appearance in the mirror, Tong Xiang only felt that the demoness had descended into the world.
