The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: The One Who Should Have Died, Lady Arwen

Royal Palace, Palace Servant Quarter.

The lady official, dressed in her uniform, walked down the narrow path of the Palace Servant Quarter with slightly stiff steps.

From time to time, young palace attendants greeted her.

The lady official continued her way forward without responding.

The young palace attendants exchanged glances—curious, yet not daring to speak further.

The lady official went all the way inside to her residence, entered, and found the room empty.

Her pale face showed little expression as she followed her memory to find her bed, where she lay down stiffly, motionless.

...

On the other side, another lady official came out from Lily Phoenix and stuffed a pouch into the hands of Mother Li, the supervisor of this residence.

Mother Li was the personal matron prepared by Samuel Chalmers for Scarlett Jennings, mainly to help her become acquainted with matters in the palace and handle trifles and irrelevant people.

Furthermore, Mother Li also had the duty of selecting lady officials for the future Empress.

The selected lady officials would later become right-hand aides to help the Empress manage the Imperial Harem.

Because of this, many lady officials had long coveted this position.

After hearing that Your Majesty suddenly issued a decree to appoint an Empress yesterday, they became even more fervent in their efforts, both overtly and covertly.

Mother Li was one of those they particularly sought to win over.

But in truth, everyone knew that Mother Li had an apprentice in the palace, and this spot next to the Empress was naturally reserved by Mother Li for her apprentice.

Yet starting from yesterday, this apprentice had gone missing, and even if Mother Li wanted to recommend someone to Lily Phoenix, the future Empress, she could not.

Thus Eira, the lady official standing before her, seized an opportunity.

Looking at the pouch Eira handed over, a dark hue flashed in Mother Li’s eyes, and after a long pause, she said,

"Your Majesty has entrusted me with handling all of Lily’s affairs in the palace. Since you wish to vie for this position, I will surely give you the opportunity. But if you do anything unsatisfactory, I can present your name, and I can also cross it out. Do you understand?"

Eira’s heart tightened upon hearing this, yet her face remained sincere and harmless,

"I understand, Mother. Thank you for the opportunity."

Seeing Mother Li finally accept the pouch, Eira silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon leaving the residence, Eira still maintained a proper pace, but her steps noticeably carried a bit more lightness.

From tomorrow, she would be the lady official serving by the future Empress’s side!

Her status would henceforth soar, matched only by those around Your Majesty—none else could surpass her!

Thinking of this, Eira’s steps became even more brisk, with more gleefulness evident between her brows.

Such joy was instantly frozen when she returned to her lodging and saw a figure lying motionless on the bed that should have been empty.

It was as if a pair of hands were gripping her throat. She used all her strength not to scream in terror but remained fixed in place, motionless, with her eyes glaring at the room.

Perhaps her posture outside was too odd, which led another lady official, Qingge, who had just returned, to approach and inquire curiously,

"Eira, why are you standing here? Why don’t you come inside?"

Speaking, she glanced into the room and, upon seeing the person lying inside, her eyes instantly sparked with surprise as she hurried forward to wake the person on the bed.

"Arwen! You girl, where exactly were you last night?! Mother was furious, why are you only appearing now?!

The girl called Arwen sat up stiffly, her pale face showing indistinct emotions, her voice hoarse,
