In the Huxia palace, Gu Hui was following Court Lady Mingxhe and learning the Huxia palace rules and regulations. She was not willingly doing this rather, she was forced by the circumstances she found herself in.
Everything was messed now. Gu Hui couldn't find Ah Du, and she was now working as a personal maid to the man who had destroyed her family and her dynasty. She had once been a princess, but now she was a slave.
"What the hell are you doing, you bitch? We are working day and night, and you are just sitting there casually ? Bring your ass here and start working!" suddenly one of the young maids said, lashing out at Gu Hui.
"Don't think that you can climb into his royal highness's bed. You are just a slave, lower than us. Who knows how many men's beds you have warmed before?" mocked another maid looking disdainfully at Gu Hui.
yes, you're right. Just look at this vixen and her slutty face. It makes me feel like puking," added another maid .
Initially, Gu Hui hadn't paid much attention to their insults, but when the second and third maids attacked her character so viciously, her anger began to boil.
She had once been a princess, and they were calling her a slut, a vixen, and a slave. How dare they judge her without any evidence?
Just as Gu Hui was about to fight back, Court Lady Mingxhe approached them.
"What's happening here? Why are you all gathered here? Go and do your work," Court Lady Mingxhe commanded, and all the maids dispersed in fear.
Mingxhe approached Gu Hui and gave her a charming grin. "Don't pay attention to them in your mind. They're simply envious because you have the crown prince's attention, which is why they're saying such things".
Gu Hui felt warmth and love from Court Lady Mingxhe. She didn't judge her and Since leaving the palace, she had encountered various types of people, but Mingxhe's kindness stood out.
"One thing I haven't asked about is your personal details, your name, hometown, and family," Mingxhe asked.
Gu Hui was frozen in her place as she thought what she was going to say to Court Lady Mingxhe. She can't share the truth or tell anyone about her identity, especially with someone like court lady Mingxhe who was so devoted and respectful to the devil.
"M... My name "
"My name is...,"
" My name is Ah Du. I was an orphan at birth. When I was 15 years old, my aunt kicked me out of her house where I had previously lived." Gu Hui said after creating a imaginary story..
Gu Hui knowingly created a story of hardship and loss, hoping that Court Lady Mingxhe would believe it.
Court lady Mingxhe was a very good lady, she felt sorry and guilty for deceiving her to keep her true identity hidden .
Mingxhe observed the girl before her with a sense of pity. She could sense the pain and struggle in Ah Du's eyes, and her heart ached for her.
"I'm sorry to hear about your difficult circumstances, Ah Du," Mingxhe responded gently, her voice filled with sympathy. "Life can be cruel, and sometimes we find ourselves alone and abandoned. But here in the palace, you have a chance for a fresh start. I will do my best to support you and ensure you find your place. You are at a right place ,the crown prince may be hard and cold but he is very soft and amazing person from inside".
Gu Hui's face became darker as she heard Court Lady Mingxhe speak so highly of the crown prince, whom she believed to be responsible for destroying her family and putting her in this vulnerable position. She was filled with hatred and anger.
She forced a bitter smile, trying to hide her true feelings. "Thank you for your kind words, Court Lady Mingxhe," Gu Hui replied, her voice filled with an . "I will keep that in mind."
Both of them busied themselves with work.
In the afternoon, the Crown Prince Jin Yuchen returned to the Huxia Palace, where he had a meeting with the Justice Minister.
Gu Hui was assigned to serve tea to the crown prince and the justice minister.
Previously court lady Mingxhe took care of all this , since Gu Hui is the personal maid of the crown prince, she was said to serve the tea to his royal highness and Justice minister..
. She brewed a pot of tea, ensuring its aroma filled the surrounding . With a tray in hand, adorned with delicate teacups and a steaming pot, Gu Hui entered the garden near the lake.
Upon her arrival, the Justice Minister put an end to his conversation.
"Your Royal Highness"
"Justice Minister ," Gu Hui addressed them respectfully, her voice soft yet clear. She approached the table and carefully placed the tray before them, arranging the cups and pouring the fragrant tea with graceful precision.
" You can continue , ignore her presence" Jin Yuchen said to the Justice minister who was sitting opposite to him while Gu Hui was serving tea.
" Yes your royal highness" The justice minister said and further bowed his head respectably.
" Your royal highness, I was telling about the citizen of the Gu province. There a complain from the inner source that many inhuman activities like, rape, women and children trafficking, organ trafficking, are increasing in the Gu province" The justice minister stated.
"So what?"Jin Yuchen said . He appeared unconcerned by the justice minister's report lazily while gracefully sipping his tea. "Why are you there then? Aren't you the justice minister? Shouldn't you be delivering justice? Or are you simply a good-for-nothing minister?".
Beside them Gu Hui who was serving tea to them heard this. She couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and disbelief hearing that her dynasty which was known for peace and zero crime in this sitwation...
However, she quickly composed herself, realizing that expressing her anger would be unwise in this position . She continued with her duties, remaining silent with hanger full of more hatered and anger for Jin Yuchen and the Jin dynasty.
