When the old nanny opened the door, Hongyu was startled again.
[Princess Jade, do not panic. Fortunately, only Lianxiang knows about this. Last night, Lianxiang buried the small bowl that Prince Yan broke, and only Lianxiang knows where it is.]
Seeing Lianxiang's calm and smug expression, Hongyu, though resentful, could only ask softly, "What do you want?"
[Since Consort Yu refuses to acknowledge Grand Tutor Zhang, why not give the real jade pendant to Lianxiang? Lianxiang only wants to enter Prince Yan's residence and support Consort Yu to become his principal wife.]
Hongyu looked up suddenly and saw Lianxiang staring at her, her clear peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly, full of warning.
This is terrifying! Who exactly is Lianxiang? She actually knew that the jade pendant she broke at the Zuo family was fake, and she also knew that the Empress couldn't tolerate a lowly maid. Yet she actually thought of using her status as the Grand Tutor's legitimate daughter to become Prince Yan's concubine.

Even if you are favored by Prince Yan, you are still a servant. Don't even think about becoming a phoenix by having a son. Do you all understand?"
The four maids replied in unison, "We understand," then stood up, picked up the medicine and drank it all in one gulp, put down the small bowl and stood back in their original positions.
At this moment, a maidservant walked in and whispered something to the old nanny. The old nanny's already stern face instantly darkened, and she said sharply, "[Those who have committed insubordination, kneel down and receive punishment!]"
The four maids knelt down in fear.
Hongyu was terrified and restless. Could it be that someone had been found to have drugged the Prince of Yan?
