Chapter 1237 The Disappeared Servant (1/2)

”She wants to take a person away from the palace,”

Xia Huanyu pursed his lips and said, ”She has made a clear guess of us. She thought that if something happened to the person who was in charge of the imperial household affairs, we would not know what would happen at that time. We wouldn't know who poisoned us and what poison it was. We would be so afraid that the whole imperial household would be in a mess after hearing the news. The first thing we would do must be to try to hide the news.

And then she can take advantage of this time to fake the imperial edict and take him away.”

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows slightly. She was a little surprised. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she did not expect that it was for this.

”Who did she want to take away then?” Yun Shang looked up and asked.

”A maid.” Xia Huanyu casually put down his piece and added, ”She is a maid in the Xiangyi Palace.”

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the chess piece.

The Xiangyi Palace was the place where Lady Li was kept under house arrest.

At the thought of this, Yun Shang vaguely guessed which maid that steward Wang wanted to take away.

It was most likely that she had come to the Imperial Garden to beg her, saying that Lady Li had saved her life, begging her to call for an imperial physician for her, and finally she agreed to the maid to work in the Xiangyi Palace.

”Was she sent to the Xiangyi Palace to serve lady Li after she was under house arrest?”

Raising his head slightly, Xia Huanyu asked, ”Yes, have you met her before?”
