The Palace Maid leaned close to Xiaohong's ear and whispered, "Taoye could have left the Imperial Palace with High Lady, why did she choose to stay?"
"I didn't make it clear earlier, it's actually because she has a lover!"
Xiaohong's eyes widened suddenly.
Is it true?
A lover within the palace?
That would mean she's having an affair with the Imperial Guard?
If that's the case, it's an incredibly serious charge.
The Palace Maid seemed to realize this was not very convincing and whispered again.
Xiaohong's eyes gradually brightened.
If this is truly the case, once evidence is caught, Taoye won't just lose the master's favor but won't be able to stay in the palace, completely cutting off any future path.
Throughout history, Palace Maids and the Imperial Guard must not commit adultery.
The two aunts beside the Empress are an exception.
Qing Yi was already married before entering the palace, which is understandable.
