Guwu Lin quickly adjusted her emotions and thoughts.
"Big Sister Red Jade," Little Plum smiled flatteringly. If there was anything Guwu Lin was confident in, it was her ability to flatter others. From a young age, she had learned to please those in power. If she hadn't learned this lesson early, she would have died long ago in the palace, where brothers committed fratricide and sons committed patricide, all for the sake of the throne.
Luckily, she was protected by her emperor father and cherished by her emperor brother. Empress mother also spoiled her.
"What now?" Red Jade asked, with just a hint of annoyance.
A fawning expression on her face, Little Plum, complimented, "Big sister Red Jade is wise and knows much about the world."
"Who needs you to remind me," Red Jade snorted with a gloating expression on her face. She appeared quite flattered by Little Plum's words.
"Then can you tell this little one about the third celestial prince?"
"Him?"
Red Jade thought for a little while, looked around her surroundings, before leaning in close to Little Plum's ear to whisper, "I heard he was born abnormal. From the moment of birth until now, he neither cries nor laugh."
"Big sister Red Jade, you mean to tell me he doesn't have any emotions?"
"I don't know about that, but I do know he is rumored to be emotionless. Besides, what these big noble people do is nothing we servants can comment on. Just do your job well and you will be rewarded."
Red Jade wanted to say, "You'll be rewarded with the ability to keep your head." However, she thought it was best not to scare this little maid, who had recently entered the palace.
Little Plum nodded her head. Her identity was that of a lowly slave servant now. As for the issues of those she served, she had no authority to comment on it, not to mention interfering in it.
"Come with me," Red Jade commanded.
Little Plum obediently followed behind Red Jade and entered the Calming Heart Palace. Just as she remembered from her childhood, this was the palace Tangyu Sanjun lived in while he stayed in the devil realm.
A vision of the adult Tangyu Sanjun looming above her caused Little Plum's heart to shiver and thump rapidly. She actually felt a pang of fear at the thought of meeting Tangyu Sanjun again.
In the tidy room, a young eight-year-old boy sat woodenly, staring off into space, as though untouched by the troubles of this world.
Just looking at his emotionless face, Guwu Lin felt a basketful of emotions twirling around in her heart. She really wanted to lift her hand to strike this bastard. However, she kept her calm. Not to mention, a part of her was deeply terrified of Tangyu Sanjun.
She had to applaud her younger self. Just what in the world was she thinking about back then, to think it was a good idea to kidnap Tangyu Sanjun and bring him home. If you were to give her this calamity packaged with ten cartloads of treasures, she would rather get her legs broken then to take the offer.
