C14 Signifying

Chi Zaozao thought that there would be a bodyguard outside the door, but when she stuck her head out, the corridor was empty.

Chi Zaozao walked out of the room unscathed.

Weird, there aren't any bodyguards outside.

An idea popped into Chi Zaozao's mind.

Could it be … prince already found out the truth and planned to let him go?

Chi Zaozao almost jumped up out of joy.

Then could he go back now?

He could not help but walk towards the stairs with light steps.

On the other side, Lu Jingting came to the living room in the first floor after hearing that the Queen had come to his palace. On the other side, when he heard that the Queen had come to his palace, Lu Jingting came to the living room in the middle of the first floor.

"Why did the Queen Mother suddenly come?" Lu Jingting walked down the stairs and said in a calm voice.

"I came to see if you were all right." The queen's gaze fell on Lu Jingting and sized him up.

Only to see his tall figure walking steadily towards her. His handsome face didn't have much expression on it, he was flawless.

"I let mother down. My body is fine now." Lu Jingting said with a hint of hesitation.

Hearing Lu Jingting's words, the queen's dignified face instantly changed. She became gloomy and said in a serious tone, "Jingting, what do you mean by this? I am your mother. Don't tell me that I was hoping for something to happen to you?"

Lu Jingting's handsome face carried a trace of an unknown smile. He pretended to be relaxed as he said, "It was just a joke, why is Imperial Mother being so serious?"

Only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.

"Since you have nothing else to do, I won't disturb your rest any longer. I will tell your royal father that you are unwell, so he won't have to worry."

The queen stood up as if to leave.

A sound came from the stairs.

Lu Jingting and the queen looked back at the same time.

"Who is it?"

Shit, I've been discovered.

Since she had been discovered, there was no way for Chi Zaozao to continue hiding. She had no choice but to come out from the corner of the stairs.

She was just about to go downstairs on the second floor when she heard a sound coming from the living room. Seeing Lu Jingting's tall figure, she quickly squatted down and hid behind the railing at the corner.

But after squatting down for too long, he wasn't able to stand properly.

When Chi Zaozao's figure appeared in his line of sight, Lu Jingting's eyes suddenly turned cold.

This woman had appeared just in time!

"Who is she?" The queen's eyes also fell on Chi Zaozao, and she saw that the woman was wearing a maid's uniform. Her head was lowered, and her black hair was hanging down, so that her face could not be seen.

"It's my new servant. Hurry up and pour the tea."

The last sentence was obviously directed at Chi Zaozao, with a hint of command in it.

"Ah, yes." Chi Zaozao responded and was about to turn around.

The Queen's graceful and noble voice rang out, "There is no need. I am heading to your father's place now, so I will be leaving first. "Now that you've appeared, you should pay more attention."

"Many thanks for mother's reminder. "Then take your time." Lu Jingting nodded slightly.

The noble steps of the queen made for the door.

When Chi Zaozao heard the queen say that there was no need, she also stopped turning around. It was a good thing they didn't really let her pour the tea, otherwise she wouldn't even know where the kitchen was.
