Chapter 552 Promise

Luo Qinghan originally planned to take it step by step, but Baoqin's capture was like a signal, reminding him that Queen Qin now regarded Xiao Xixi as a thorn in her side.

Even if Xiao Xixi escapes today by chance, Queen Qin will continue to set traps to murder Xiao Xixi in the future.

As long as Queen Qin is still the queen, Xiao Xixi will always be in danger.

Even though Luo Qinghan has sent more people to protect Xiao Xixi, it can only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

If he wanted Xiao Xixi to escape from danger as soon as possible, he had to strike first.

Luo Qinghan decided to give up his previous plan of taking it slow.

He has to speed up the process of seizing power.

…

Inside the Pepper Room.

The Shaofujian knelt on the ground and spoke nervously.

"I had already had Baoqin captured, but I didn't expect Zhao Xian to show up and take her away by force, relying on his skills."

Queen Qin sat at the top, with no expression on her face, looking frighteningly cold.

After waiting for a long time without any response from the Queen, the Supervisor of the Imperial Household raised his head cautiously.

Pearl winked at him.

The Shaofujian understood, lowered his head and quietly retreated.

Queen Qin sat in the empty and silent main hall for a long time before she spoke: "It seems that the prince knows everything."

Pearl lowered her head and dared not say a word.

Queen Qin closed her eyes. It seemed that their plan had to be carried out in advance.

But this would cause a lot more trouble.

never mind.

At this point, they can only take one step at a time.

Late at night, Pearl helped the queen to bed.

After making sure that the queen was asleep, Pearl tiptoed out of the bedroom and returned to her own residence.

She shook out the quilt and was about to go to bed to rest, but unexpectedly a piece of paper shook out from inside the quilt.

Pearl picked up the paper.

I found that there was only a circular emblem on the paper.

That is the Shen family's emblem.

When Pearl saw the family emblem, she seemed to be greatly frightened. Her expression changed drastically and her fingers trembled slightly.

She subconsciously looked at the doors and windows and saw that they were closed, and there was no one else in the room except her.

Pearl walked quickly to the table, removed the lampshade, and lit the paper.

As she watched the paper burn to ashes, her emotions were still in turmoil.

She originally thought that she would never see the Shen family's emblem again in her life, but unexpectedly, it suddenly appeared in front of her. She was not prepared at all, and her mind was full of thoughts, who put this piece of paper here with her?

In this palace, who else knows that she is related to the Shen family?

Soon, a figure appeared in her mind.

Could it be the prince?

Although he is not a real member of the Shen family, he is half a member of the Shen family.

If he had done it, then everything would make sense.

He asked someone to put a piece of paper with the Shen family emblem on it with her, probably to remind her of the agreement she had made with the Shen family.

Back then, the Shen family rescued her from the human traffickers, provided her with food and water, and helped her grow from a little girl into a graceful young lady.

She was unable to repay the Shen family for their great kindness, so she followed the arrangement of the head of the Shen family, was selected to enter the palace as a maid, and made an agreement with the head of the Shen family that no matter what happened in the future, she must satisfy one request of the Shen family.

After Zhenzhu entered the palace, she completely cut off contact with the Shen family.

Over the years, she gradually gained the recognition of Queen Qin with her outstanding ability to handle affairs and her calm and thoughtful personality, and climbed step by step from a little maid to the position of the head maid in the Pepper Palace.

She knew that the Shen family had been destroyed.

She thought that the agreement she had made with the head of the Shen family had disappeared with the demise of the Shen family.

But I didn't expect that someone still remembered this agreement.

Pearl couldn't sleep tonight.

She lay in bed with her eyes open until dawn.

When she got dressed and walked out of the room, looking at the gray sky outside, she wished that the piece of paper had never appeared last night.

She walked towards the bedroom and met many palace maids and eunuchs on the way, who all bowed to her and greeted her.

Under normal circumstances, Pearl would respond with a smile, but today she couldn't smile at all.

She had worked so hard to get to where she was today, and she didn't want to give up.

She was unwilling to betray Queen Qin.

Inside the bedroom, Queen Qin had already woken up, and another senior palace maid was helping her change clothes.

Pearl walked in and saluted the queen with a perfect posture without a single flaw.

Queen Qin not only had high demands on herself, but also on the people around her. Whether it was dress etiquette or interpersonal relationships, everything had to strictly follow her requirements.

Anyone who fails to meet her standards is not in her eyes.

Zhenzhu picked up the comb and gently combed Queen Qin's long hair.

"What kind of hairstyle would the Queen like today?"

Queen Qin said calmly, "You decide."

Pearl knew the queen's preferences and helped her comb her hair skillfully.

Both the hairstyle and makeup were to Queen Qin's liking, and her way of expressing her satisfaction was to remain silent.

It is impossible to get praise from Queen Qin.

The fact that she doesn't criticize others is the greatest compliment.

Zhenzhu helped Queen Qin get up and go out.

Queen Qin: "Send a message to Madam Qin, if she is free, please come to the palace and talk to me."

"Yes."

The day passed quickly in busyness.

At night, Pearl returned to her residence.

This time she was more careful. She spread out the quilt first and checked it carefully. Sure enough, she found a piece of paper inside the quilt.

She picked up the paper with shaking hands.

There was only a short line of words on the paper:

Evidence of the affair between the Queen and Prince Xiling.

The Shen family’s crest is attached at the end.

Pearl fell onto the bed.

She regretted that she shouldn't have made such an agreement with the head of the Shen family.

But now that things have come to this, she knows that even if she wants to regret, the prince will not give her the chance.

Since he knew her relationship with the Shen family, he must have relevant evidence.

If she was unwilling to acknowledge her agreement with the Shen family, the prince would have directly reported the matter to Queen Qin.

Given Queen Qin's intolerant character, she would not be able to escape death by then.

Pearl had no choice.

She burned the paper, then sat on the bed in a daze until dawn.

She looked worse today.

When Queen Qin saw her, she frowned and asked, "Are you sick?"

Pearl said respectfully, "Maybe I caught a cold last night. It's a minor problem. I'll take some medicine later."

Queen Qin was not the kind of master who would care about her servants. It was rare for her to ask this question. After that, she said nothing more and let Zhenzhu comb her hair and put on makeup for her.

After everything was cleaned up, Queen Qin went out, and Zhenzhu stayed in the room to tidy up the pearl hairpins and jewelry on the table.

She knew that Queen Qin had a crescent-shaped jade pendant.

That was the token of love between Queen Qin and Prince Xiling.
