"It seems that you have made the right choice. If that is the case, then let me tell you that your Crown Princess has offended someone that no one in the palace can afford to offend!"
The moment the little palace maid heard these words suddenly, she was immediately frightened.
The little palace maid instinctively thought that he was the emperor of the palace, so she didn't dare to speak, and instead waited for Liu Dehai to speak.
Liu Dehai saw that he had frightened the little palace maid, and then he continued.
"So you just made a very smart choice. Since your princess has already been infected with the plague, you still went to help her get medicine. This is simply too stupid. If that person knew about it, do you know what the result would be?"
"You don't think you'll just be sent to the cold palace together, do you? What she hates most is being deceived by her own people. You're helping Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess now instead of reporting her. You're obviously harming her!"
"You now have two choices. The first is to continue to help your Crown Princess get the medicine. Maybe no one will find out, or maybe someone will!"
As soon as Liu Dehai finished speaking, the little palace maid hurriedly asked.
"Then...what about the second option!"
Liu Dehai just continued speaking calmly.
"The second option is to find a way to report Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. However, I also know that if you do this, it will be difficult for you to stay in front of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Therefore, I will provide you with some special benefits for this option."
"As long as you choose to find someone to expose Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, I will provide you with 500 taels of silver and escort you out of the palace within an hour. You can then find a place to live in peace. Isn't 500 taels of silver enough for you to live a good life for the rest of your life?"
The young maid thought about it for a moment.
Five hundred taels of silver, although much smaller than my goal, but if I don't spend money recklessly, it will be enough to support me for the rest of my life.
What's more, he is still young and has got the opportunity to leave the palace. He can invest the five hundred taels of silver anywhere outside and maybe make some money and get some dividends.
Youth is the greatest asset, so after thinking about it for a while, the little palace maid nodded immediately, and asked Liu Dehai in front of her with some concern.
"Manager Liu, what you just said couldn't be a lie, right?"
Liu Dehai just laughed.
"Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"You are in this state now. Even if I don't say anything and don't give you these benefits, you will have no way to escape. Anyway, it's a fact that you concealed the Crown Princess. I am just helping you!"
"Go ahead and report Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. When you leave, I will give you five hundred taels of silver and a carriage for you to leave. I mean what I say."
After hearing what Liu Dehai said, the little palace maid finally gritted her teeth, immediately confirmed it, and headed towards the tallest hall in the entire palace.
But the little palace maid did not choose to go to the main hall immediately. Instead, she found a few people near the main hall, talked to them casually for a few minutes, and then returned to Liu Dehai.
After all, she had stayed in the palace for such a long time, so for the little palace maid, she knew what the situation was like in the palace. As long as she said a few words, the Crown Princess would definitely be caught.
And after that, within just an incense stick of time, the whole thing spread throughout the entire hall, and someone even went into the hall to tell the emperor.
At the same time, in a corner in the southwest corner of the entire palace, a carriage was already waiting for the little palace maid.
Liu Dehai even took out a box, put it on the table and said to the little palace maid.
"This is the five hundred taels of silver I promised you. Take this silver and wait until the carriage escorts you outside. Then find another carriage to escort you out of the capital. Don't come back for the rest of your life, or I will kill you without mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the little palace maid nodded quickly and got on the carriage immediately, which then left the palace.
After all, it was Liu Dehai who took care of it personally, so opening the city gate was an easy matter, and the little palace maid left the palace as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Qian Ruolan, who was waiting for the young palace maid at the East Palace, instead waited for the guards.
Even Qian Ruolan was stunned. She had never thought that she had not brought the little palace maid over. Where had the little palace maid been?
But Qian Ruolan said directly.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do in this palace? Do you think you can bully the prince when he is not here..."
Before she could finish her words, one of the guards spoke.
"Although Her Majesty the Eastern Palace is not in the Eastern Palace, we are obviously not here to look for Her Majesty the Eastern Palace! Your Majesty has ordered that the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital be invited to treat Her Majesty the Eastern Palace!"
After hearing these words suddenly, Qian Ruolan panicked instantly, stood up immediately and wanted to retreat, but a dozen guards surrounded her.
Several Taiyis came forward directly, and before Qian Ruolan could take any action, the captain of the guards continued speaking.
"Empress Donggong, please don't be embarrassed. This is the order of His Majesty. If you want to disobey the order, please tell His Majesty. Otherwise, please let our imperial physician treat you now!"
Qian Ruolan softened all of a sudden, because she knew that the current Emperor was very tough, what he said was what he meant, and he also had thundering methods.
If she resisted at this time, the outcome would obviously be even more miserable, so Qian Ruolan closed her eyes and faced the outcome helplessly.
It turned out to be true, Qian Ruolan was indeed suffering from the plague, and the guards around her immediately retreated when they heard the news, not daring to get too close to Qian Ruolan.
The imperial physician then explained.
"Although the Empress of the East Palace is suffering from the plague, it is only a mild plague and will not easily infect others! So everyone does not need to worry, but now you must immediately follow the order of His Majesty and send the Empress of the East Palace to the cold palace!"
Hearing these words suddenly, Qian Ruolan fainted.
But the guards around her didn't care about her and came forward one after another.
When Qian Ruolan woke up, she found herself behind high walls. The whole place was cold and icy, without even much decoration. This was the cold palace in the imperial palace!
