The carriage went all the way towards the palace gate in the dark night. Cen Yuan cleared a few checkpoints that blocked the carriage and finally arrived.

Shi Anxia had already given Bei Hui and Hong Que detailed instructions along the way. After getting off the carriage, she handed them over to Wei Xingzhou who was waiting in front of the palace gate.

Cen Yuan ordered, "Send them back first. As long as they are safely sent back to the Young Master's Mansion, you don't have to worry about them. Someone will take care of their safety. Go to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion and inform them of my earlier arrangements."

Wei Xingzhou nodded, "Yes, young master."

Shi Anxia saw that the two maids had tense faces and were shaking all over, so she asked with a smile, "Beihui, Hongque, are you scared?"

Bei Hui shook her head, her voice trembling, "I'm not afraid."

She smelled danger, and even the Dongyu Guards dared to trip her up.

Neither the familiar Ma Chuyi nor the Dongyu Guards that he led to carry out missions were seen. No matter how dumb she was, she knew that the wind had changed.

Hong Que also shook her head, but burst into tears, "With the young master and the madam here, there is nothing to be afraid of. Not afraid... wuwuwu..."

Because the incident was urgent, Shi Anxia brought the two of them out together. One was to let them see the world so that they wouldn't be at a loss when encountering an emergency; the other was that there were many things that were inconvenient to tell them at other times, and now they had to be told.

Shi Anxia was still as unhurried as usual, "Young Master and I probably won't be able to go back for a while. Remember, do what you need to do and wait for us to come back, understand?"

"I understand." The two maids said crying.

"Don't cry, you are mine. Show some tolerance." Shi Anxia gently wiped away the tears of the two.

I thought to myself that this might be the biggest storm you have ever experienced in your life. The rest of your life will be smooth sailing and sunny.

Bei Hui held Madam's hand tightly and asked, "Master, Madam, when can you come back? Can you... give me a definite answer? I, I can also comfort Madam."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Shi Anxia whispered, "Don't take any bad news seriously, understand? Your mission is to comfort the two old ladies, don't worry about anything else."

Hong Que's eyes were red and tears were falling. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Shi Anxia's collar, "Madam, you won't abandon Hong Que, will you?"

Bei Hui spit out “Pooh” several times, crying in anger and laughing in anger at the same time, holding her hand, “My dear Hong Que, can you please give Madam a little help? Our Madam has a face of great wealth and honor, and she can turn danger into safety wherever she goes.”

Shi Anxia smiled, "Little Red Magpie, good Beihui, the young master and I will be fine, don't worry."

Bei Hui gently put the gauze cape in her hand on her master, tied the belt carefully for her, and said reluctantly, "Master, come back soon."

"Got it." Shi Anxia watched the two of them get on Wei Xingzhou's carriage before asking the coachman to park his carriage in the yard.

After the guards at the palace gate checked the badges of Princess Haiyan and her husband, a man walked out and said, "Princess Haiyan, my husband, I'm sorry, but the higher-ups require a body search before you can enter the palace."

An old maid came out from behind him, bowed first, and then said, "Excuse me for asking for a visit from the princess."

Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan looked at each other, then separated and went into their own rooms.

After the old maid entered, she knelt down hurriedly and said, "Princess, you, you are so wise. As expected, I was arranged to be searched here."

Shi Anxia looked down at this person and said leisurely, "Madam Xie, you'd better know the current situation so that your son and grandson can live longer. You have also seen the methods of this princess. It is a piece of cake for me to make you childless."

Madam Xie was shocked. She looked up at the princess's eyes that were as deep as an ancient well. She felt cold all over and fell to the ground. "Princess, spare my life. I dare not betray you. My whole family is willing to follow you."

Shi Anxia raised her orchid finger, arrogant and indifferent, "Then search me."

"I dare not." Nanny Xie now just wanted to stay away from the princess.

"I told you to search, so you searched. Why don't you obey?" Shi Anxia opened her arms, "Search!"

Madam Xie's scalp tingled when she heard the word "search". It was clearly an ordinary word, but she still couldn't help feeling scared.

This girl is a ruthless person! She is not as harmless as she appears on the surface.

Earlier, this girl gave her son and grandson a pill that would cause bleeding from all seven orifices in front of her. I wonder what that pill was?

People only told her that if she obeyed, her whole family would survive, but if she disobeyed, her whole family would die.

How could she dare not to obey? Even if she was once an old lady in the Queen Mother's service, so what?

If the Queen Mother remembered her, she would reward her with a few coins. If she didn't remember her, she would not bother to care whether she lived or died.

Why should she be loyal to the Queen Mother and work hard for her?

Princess Haiyan then said, "If you listen to me, I will naturally give you more benefits. Aunt Xie, don't be a fence-sitter. Otherwise, you will die without a burial place. Do you understand?"

"I understand! I understand!" Matron Xie symbolically searched her body and reported the tasks that several familiar matrons were currently in charge of. She also took credit for it and said, "Princess, this is absolutely true. I finally found out through indirect means."

"Don't act on your own." Shi Anxia was not happy because the other party did more. "Do more and you will make more mistakes. Do less and you will make fewer mistakes. Do nothing and it's not a big deal. Have you heard of this?"

Nanny Xie was stunned. What’s going on? Is it wrong to help get information?

She felt wronged, but didn't dare to refute, "Yes, I'll remember that."

Shi Anxia slapped him and gave him a candy. "You should take care of your own safety. In the future, remember to ask less questions, okay?"

This was the first time that Nanny Xie heard the princess speak to her in such a gentle tone, and all her resentment disappeared in an instant.

The point is, the princess is worried about her safety! The old woman, the Empress Dowager, has never thought about the lives of these servants!

Nanny Xie almost forgot the princess's ferocious look when she threatened her earlier. At this moment, she only remembered how considerate the princess was to her servants.

In fact, it doesn't matter who you work with, only a good master can guarantee you safety. When she thought about this, she smiled more often.

Shi Anxia reminded calmly, "You shouldn't smile at this princess like this. You should always remember to give me a cold face."

Aunt Xie's smile froze on her face, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She tried to keep a calm face and said in a loud voice, "Princess, I want to take off your hair and examine it carefully!"

The door suddenly opened from the outside, and the person who came in was a real cold-faced nanny.

It was Nanny Ma who took Shi Anxia into the palace for a tour for the first time. Oh, no, it should be Nanny Song.

Her last name was not Ma, but her face was long and looked like a horse's, so Shi Anxia gave her the nickname "Ma Ma".
