Sudden.

From the palace road not far away, wailing cries for mercy could be heard.

"Father-in-law, please stop fighting. This slave will never dare to run away again."

"Haha, you bitch, you are lucky to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. If you still think about escaping, you really deserve to be beaten to death. Keep beating!"

Screams kept coming.

Gu Nuoer was afraid of scaring Ling Qingge. She wanted Liu Liu to take Ling Qingge away first, and then she would go and see what was going on.

However, Ling Qingge just listened with a stunned expression for a while, then immediately stood up and walked towards the palace road.

"Hey! Qingge!" Gu Nuoer immediately followed.

When they got closer, they found the beaten little palace maid on the ground, wearing ragged clothes and covered in wounds.

Two little eunuchs listened to a big fat eunuch and beat her repeatedly with whips.

Ling Qingge was anxious, but couldn't speak.

Gu Nuoer understood, pulled her behind him, and then scolded: "Stop."

The fat eunuch came over with a sideways look.

He wanted to see who was so ignorant that he dared to interfere in his affairs.

However, when he saw Gu Nuoer's face, his knees softened and he knelt down with a plop.

"This servant came to see Princess Qianlizun. I didn't know that the princess was here. I didn't mean to disturb you. Please forgive me, princess!"

Gu Nuoer looked at the curled up palace maid.

She frowned and asked, "What mistake did this person make? Why did you beat her?"

The eunuch knelt on the ground and explained with a smile: "This person is a slave from the East Palace. We were supposed to keep her under guard, but she actually tried to escape, so the slave is asking people to punish her."

Ling Qingge was behind Gu Nuoer and tightened her sleeves, still trembling slightly.

Gu Nuoer was suddenly surprised.

She looked at the injured palace maid again, and saw injuries on her face, and her eyes were frightened.

Gu Nuoer said in a deep voice: "You were beaten just now. Leave this palace maid here for me and you can go."

The fat eunuch was shocked: "This? I'm afraid this is not..."

"Nothing? Could it be that what I said doesn't work? Or that if I want a palace maid, I have to get the prince's consent?"

Gu Nuoer asked solemnly.

The frightened eunuch waved his hands repeatedly: "Of course Her Royal Highness the Princess has the final say, then the servant will go back and resume his life now."

He took two young eunuchs with him and left in despair.

Gu Nuoer said to Liu Liu, "Hel her up."

The palace maid knew that she had been rescued by Gu Nuoer, and she quickly kowtowed: "Thank you princess for saving my life!"

Gu Nuoer couldn't help but ask: "They almost beat you to death, and you were demoted to a slave, but what mistake did you make?"

The palace maid lowered her head and sobbed: "This slave did not make any mistake. She just escaped because she did not want to be locked in the dungeon forever."

"But if we leave without His Majesty's consent, we will be beaten."

Gu Nuoer was even more confused: "You? Apart from you, are there other maids like you who are locked up in the East Palace dungeon?"

The palace maid nodded: "There are about thirty people, and the man just now was our father-in-law who was disciplining us."

"He said that if His Highness the Crown Prince is in need, he will arrange for us to go out. If there is no need, we will stay in the dungeon and live worse than rats."

At this point, she cried again.

Ling Qingge reacted even more fiercely. She raised the hand she had pricked in front of Gu Nuoer.

It was as if he wanted to remind Gu Nuoer of something.

Gu Nuoer was slightly confused and thought for a while before asking the palace maid: "What is your name?"
