Zhaozhu cried out in distress and heavily bowed her head, saying: "Princess, you are the only master we sisters have pledged to serve in this lifetime!"
Zhao Mei also bowed deeply, saying: "Please, Princess, do not drive us away. We are willing to return to the Imperial Palace with you. If those around cannot tolerate us sisters…"
Zhaozhu quickly pushed Zhao Mei, then hurriedly said in panic: "Forgive us, Princess, my sister was momentarily confused. We sisters are merely humble lives; please don't listen to Zhao Mei's words, lest they implicate the Princess!"
Zhao Mei's face turned ashen.
Indeed.
If people from another country were to enter the Imperial Palace, it would be fine if undetected. But if discovered, what if Princess Mo were to be accused of colluding with the enemy, wouldn't that implicate the Princess?
Zhao Mei regretted deeply, and hastily bowed again.
But from above came a gentle laugh, and then Zhao Mei and Zhaozhu were steadily lifted up.
