Chapter 297 Unusual Talent

Several years ago, another palace maid who came to serve Changzai Zhou had quietly died of illness.

At that time, Changzai Zhou had kindly allowed the maid to live alone in a small room to recover from her illness, without having to attend to her duties, and even summoned an Imperial Physician to treat her, providing her with good food and drink.

Back then, she had even envied that maid for her seemingly minor sickness yet receiving such good care, but before she could envy her for two days, the maid was dead, reportedly of the illness.

She sneaked a visit the night before, and the maid had appeared well and energetic, not at all like someone suffering from a severe illness, but by the next day, she was gone.

She felt that there was something odd about the situation, but she never dared to speak out, keeping it all to herself, telling no one.

Therefore, though her master seemed kind and lenient, she dared not act rashly; just now, she had been overthinking.
