Next to a secluded corner.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" The palace maid bent down slightly with a look of concern on her face and asked softly.
"The drought in Jincheng has been really bad recently. My hometown is in Jincheng, woo woo."
The second palace maid covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling constantly, and she cried bitterly.
"Don't worry too much. Didn't His Majesty arrange for the eldest prince to go to Jincheng? If the situation was serious, how could His Majesty arrange for the eldest prince to go there?"
The first palace maid gently patted the second palace maid's back and comforted her softly.
"I haven't received a letter from home in a while. The last time I received one, I heard that Jincheng was not only infested with bandits, but also plague and dysentery. I don't know how my family is doing now, wuwu."
The second palace maid sobbed and cried, tears rolling down her face like beads from a broken string.
"Everyone says that His Majesty loves and values the eldest prince the most. If the situation in Jincheng is really as serious as you said, why would His Majesty send the eldest prince there?" The palace maid frowned slightly and said with a firm look.
"I heard that there has been no news of the eldest prince returning for several days, but His Majesty has been keeping it a secret from the Empress. Perhaps the eldest prince has already..."
The second palace maid seemed to be hesitant to speak, her voice trembling.
On the way back to Kunning Palace, Jun Jiayue, who was originally in a good mood, heard the discussion of the two palace maids and was stunned for a moment.
Then he shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? My eldest brother is in the capital, how could he go to Jincheng?"
Jun Jiayue had heard from her mother that the masters in the harem had been saving money recently and praying for Jincheng. She had also heard from her mother about the dangers in Jincheng.
But she had no idea that her eldest brother had gone to Jincheng.
The two palace maids who were discussing in a low voice with their backs to the princess were so frightened when they heard her voice that their faces turned pale. They ran away without even turning their heads or greeting the princess.
Jun Jiayue had never seen a palace maid treat her so disrespectfully before. She was so angry that she stamped her feet and wanted to yell at her or have someone arrest her, but she had sneaked out today and no one was with her.
She was furious and anxious, her face wrinkled, "Damn it, I haven't even seen what these two maids look like."
The two palace maids ran away extremely quickly and soon disappeared from Princess Ruixi's sight.
When I reached a deserted corner, a eunuch appeared.
"You two did a great job, this is a bonus for you."
The eunuch had a sinister smile on his face and secretly handed something to the two palace maids.
The two palace maids immediately smiled with joy, their eyes shining, "Thank you, eunuch."
"Keep your mouth shut. If you are discovered, no one can save you." The eunuch lowered his voice, his eyes threatening.
"Yes, eunuch." The two palace maids nodded repeatedly, their faces full of flattery.
When Jun Jiayue returned to Kunning Palace, she felt an uncontrollable fear in her heart when she thought that her eldest brother was now in such a dangerous Jincheng. Her eyes quickly filled with tears, and they were swirling in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any time.
She trotted into the hall with her short legs.
"Mother, mother, woo woo, your son wants to see my eldest brother, woo woo."
Jun Jiayue sobbed and cried as she ran towards her mother, looking like a frightened deer, eagerly seeking comfort.
Su Jingyao was sitting on the couch. When she heard Jun Jiayue crying, she was a little surprised and frowned slightly.
What happened to this little devil today? Who else in the palace could make her suffer such injustice?
"Ning An, why are you crying?"
Su Jingyao stretched out her hand, gently pulled Jun Jiayue to her side, and asked in a soft tone.
"Mother, I miss my eldest brother. Could you please allow him to come to Kunning Palace for dinner?"
Jun Jiayue tightly grasped Su Jingyao's sleeve, with tears on her face and her moist eyes full of desire.
"Your eldest brother is now in the court and is very busy. Ning An can't act willfully, understand?"
Su Jingyao gently touched Jun Jiayue's head and said patiently.
"But I just heard that my eldest brother went to Jincheng. Yesterday, my mother said that Jincheng was hit by drought and epidemics. I don't want my eldest brother to go there, wuwu."
Jun Jiayue's voice was tearful and her body was trembling slightly.
She was really afraid that her eldest brother would be in danger. She didn't want her eldest brother to get sick. She missed her eldest brother.
When Su Jingyao heard this, her eyes darkened instantly and her expression became solemn.
She gently wiped the tears from Jun Jiayue's face and comforted her softly.
"How could your eldest brother go to such a dangerous place? Someone must have spread rumors. Where did Ning An hear that?"
"Your son..."
Jun Jiayue then remembered that she had just secretly run away without telling the palace servants. She hesitated for a moment and lowered her head.
Jun Jiayue was startled when she saw her mother's expression suddenly become serious.
He quickly admitted his mistake: "Mother, I made a mistake today. I just sneaked out and when I came back I saw two palace maids discussing this matter in a low voice."
"Don't be angry, mother. I will never do such a thing again."
Her voice was tearful, her little hands clutched the corner of Su Jingyao's clothes, and she looked at her mother pitifully.
"Does Ning An know which palace those two palace maids are from?" Su Jingyao asked seriously.
"I didn't see their faces, and they were very unruly. When they heard my voice, they not only didn't greet me but also ran away."
Jun Jiayue's little face was puffed up with anger and filled with resentment.
"It's okay. They're all wrong. It's time for dinner, so let's eat."
Su Jingyao held Jun Jiayue's hand and prepared to go for dinner, but the moment she turned around, her eyes met Miaoyun's. There were mixed emotions of unknown meaning and a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.
