Tsui Hee panicked. This was the first time she was so unruly. She picked up the tea on the table and poured herself a cup. She gulped it down without tasting anything.
"Miss, do you know why you suddenly became a fool when you were young?"
"Someone poisoned me." Wei Ziyao replied with certainty.
"That's right! Miss, you know everything? "
From the looks of it, Cui Xi should know something.
"Tell me what you know." Wei Ziyao sat on the chair in front of the dressing table and looked at Tsui Hee.
"Dong Mei just spilled the beans. She said that when you were young, you saw something you shouldn't have seen and were betrothed to someone you shouldn't have. That's why the Empress did this to you."
"The Empress?" Wei Ziyao had suspected the Empress before, but she didn't have any evidence.
Now that Dong Mei said this, it seemed that she was right.
"Who was I betrothed to?" Wei Ziyao thought for a moment. Tsui Hee quickly answered.
"The Second Prince! You were betrothed to His Highness Prince Jing! He is the Marshal's direct disciple and is your martial brother and martial sister. Back then, everyone said that you two were a match made in heaven. He was just waiting for you to grow up and marry him. "
Prince Jing?
Wei Ziyao had no impression of this person in her mind.
She only remembered that he was a warmonger who didn't care about the court and only thought about leading troops to fight every day.
From birth to now, the time he spent at the border was several times longer than in Shengjing.
"My father is the Grand Marshal and commands more than half of the country's troops. My brother guards all the major forts in the country. If there is a fight for the throne, my family's support is crucial. It seems that from then on, the Empress has already started to plan to fight for the throne."
"Yes, there was a rumor in the harem before that the Empress adopted Rui 'er because she didn't have any outstanding daughters in her family. At first, she wanted to send Rui' er to the Emperor's side. However, the Emperor disliked her because she was the daughter of a guilty official. Not only did he not look at her, but he also neglected the Empress."
Was this what it meant to go for wool and come home shorn?
"You little girl, you've heard a lot of gossip."
"Sigh … Isn't the harem just a matter of gossiping?" Tsui Hee lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Alright, you've done a good deed today. You'll be rewarded."
"Reward what?" Cui Xi raised her head and looked at Wei Ziyao in surprise. The strange things that Miss gave her were all very fun and she liked them very much.
"Second Brother just sent someone to pass this over." As she spoke, she handed a picture album to Dong Mei.
"Auction?"
"Yes, there's a piece of jade up for auction. I think it's very suitable for you, so I plan to buy it as a gift for you."
"Miss …" Tsui Hee burst into tears. "Tsui Hee thought you were angry, that you would never talk to Tsui Hee again."
She burst into tears. Only God knew how scared she was after pleading for Dong Mei.
"Am I such a petty person?" Wei Ziyao rolled her eyes at her. "I said it's a reward for you. You deserve it."
"Thank you, Miss. This servant will change my clothes now. We'll leave in a while."
Looking at Tsui Hee's excited expression, Wei Ziyao was also extremely excited.
She always mocked Ki Chien-chul for being a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
In fact, she had never seen it before either!
After all, she had never been on the streets since she came to this world.
Every day, she was either in the palace or in the palace. She had been out for more than twenty days and was still trapped in the epidemic area.
So this time, she finally had a legitimate reason to go out and have fun.
Thank you Wei Xuan, thank you Second Brother, thank you the auction for giving her this rare opportunity!
She hurriedly dressed up and put on a pink multi-layered chiffon dress. Her upper body was very slim, and her lower body was slightly fluffy.
