"Aunt Cuihe, it must be the person who went to the father-in-law to complain, otherwise we wouldn't have been punished."
Because she couldn't do heavy work because she was injured, the little palace maid who could only iron clothes in the house for the time being spoke angrily to Cui He.
"Who else could it be but her."
Cui He clenched her teeth and held the copper pot in her hands a little faster, wishing she could kill Gu Shufei.
"This bitch actually dares to file a complaint. You see, I won't be able to spare her as long as she's still in the clothing bureau."
The anger in her eyes was about to turn into reality, and she wanted to put Gu Shufei on the fire.
"Only because of you little despicable people?"
There was a burst of laughter outside the house.
Cui He and others in the house were frightened when they heard the sound.
Cui He was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When someone outside heard her curse, she immediately felt weak and was about to collapse on the ground.
The palace maid next to her quickly helped her up, and Cui He motioned to another person to open the door.
I saw the palace goddess outside the house looking at them with a haughty expression.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Cui He's voice was trembling.
"I'm here to help you. You are really useless. You are just a cheap maid, and you were defeated by her tricks."
When Cui He heard this, she ignored her still aching body and slapped her hand hard on the table, "Who are you? If you still can't tell me, then I will report it to the prince."
The maid rolled her eyes, and finally took out something from her arms, put it in front of Cui He and said, "My master said, if you can be brave enough, you will have a bright future. If you are as timid as a mouse all your life, then you will have a bright future." It can only remain unknown.”
Then he took out the seal symbolizing his identity and waved it in front of Cui He.
Cui He was shocked after seeing the seal clearly. It turned out to be that noble man.
After thinking for a while, she finally firmly grasped the object dropped by the maid, "I will definitely take care of this."
Ignoring the trembling palace maids, Cui He turned to look at them after sending the maids away.
"Now we are all in the same boat, and you know what to do."
Several palace maids quickly knelt down and expressed their loyalty to Cui He.
Cui He nodded with satisfaction and headed towards the room where Gu Shufei was resting.
At night, Gu Shufei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well.
Although the princess arranged a private room for her, there were very few charcoal fires available in the winter, so it was not as comfortable as a palace or the prime minister's palace.
Lying on the bed and twisting around, she sat up after half a quarter of an hour.
She went to the cupboard and took out the spare quilt, preparing to put it on a bed to keep warm.
While cleaning up, she suddenly found a protrusion under the quilt, and when she opened it, it turned out to be a strange-looking doll.
There were traces of needle sticks on the doll, and many curse words were written on it.
How is this going?
Gu Shufei touched the doll, thought for a while, and decided to stay put.
She wanted to see who made this doll.
Cursing was not a trivial matter in ancient times. It could range from leaving a whole corpse to implicating nine tribes at worst.
Gu Shufei simply put the doll back to its original position. She didn't even add the quilt under it as she originally thought. She just covered herself with another layer before falling asleep.
Early the next morning.
Not even ten minutes after turning on the lamp, there were rustling sounds outside and the light of torches flickering at the door.
Disturbed, Gu Shufei opened her eyes. She simply got dressed and got ready to go outside to see what was going on.
Just when he wanted to open the door, he was pushed away by someone outside.
I saw General Manager Wang leading several palace maids and eunuchs, cupping their hands towards me and saying, "I'm disturbing the girl's rest. It's just an important matter, so please forgive me."
"How is this going?"
Gu Shufei opened her hazy sleepy eyes and looked at the powerful Manager Wang in front of her.
Before Manager Wang could speak, he immediately reacted. It seemed that the owner of the doll he found last night started to open his mouth.
"Someone reported that the girl had hidden some dirt in the house."
So he is going to take over his house and search for that strange doll by the way?
If I guessed correctly, this was probably the doll owner's routine.
"Mr. Wang, please, if you can clear my grievances, that would be great."
Gu Shufei was not angry at all, and spoke to Manager Wang with a smile on her face.
Seeing Gu Shufei's cooperation, Manager Wang seemed relieved and ordered his men to start searching.
"My lord, there is something here."
A high-pitched voice broke the illusion of harmony between Manager Wang and Gu Shufei.
The owner of that voice was a young eunuch named Yuemao, who looked very short when he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Manager Wang took the wrapped object from the little eunuch's hand and opened it to see that it turned out to be a strange-looking doll.
The doll still had many small notes in its mouth.
When he saw the appearance of the doll, Manager Wang was shocked and turned green. He opened the note and read it.
I saw the top of the note saying: Bless the doll, everyone who sees this doll will have good luck.
Manager Wang glanced at Gu Shufei with a strange expression, and then opened another note in the baby's mouth: sleep well and eat well every day.
"I wonder what's going on, Chief?"
Gu Shufei looked at Manager Wang with a smile and asked softly.
Manager Wang squeezed the doll in his hand, read the note again, and then replied to the person in front of him: "A palace official reported to me that the girl had raised a witchcraft doll."
"Is this what the witchcraft doll refers to?"
Gu Shufei took back the weird-looking doll from Manager Wang and waved it in front of Manager Wang.
"Since it was a misunderstanding, I will not spare those nonsense-talking maids lightly."
Manager Wang has turned back into the white, fat and cute eunuch manager.
"Can Mr. Wang tell me what the Witch Gu Doll is?"
Gu Shufei was a little curious.
As if he knew something inside, Manager Wang turned away the eunuchs and maids around him with his color consciousness.
"What the girl doesn't know is that witchcraft was very popular in the previous dynasty, and even the late emperor was cursed to death by witchcraft."
Having said this, Manager Wang looked outside again to make sure no one was eavesdropping before continuing.
"Now the saint has banned the art of witchcraft and poison a long time ago. If there is any disturbance in the palace, anything related to the art of witchcraft and poison will not escape the saint's sanction."
"Although this girl's doll looks a little weird, it's still acceptable. The note is written with blessings, so it should be fine."
At this point, Manager Wang probably understood what was going on and looked at Gu Shufei in front of him strangely.
"Miss Gu is a blessed person, so she should turn danger into safety."
Gu Shufei nodded with a smile. This man was worthy of being in the position of general manager and he spoke well.
