Chapter 338 - 339 I Apologize to the Great King Here
The Holy Palace Lady looked up for a glance and said, "These two palace maids, such a lack of manners. When I was in Zhu Zi Country, sharing glory with the King, even the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister would bow low in my presence, not daring to look up. And yet, these two insignificant maids have the audacity to be so rude."
At this moment, a maid stepped forward and said, "Please forgive them, Your Grace. These two have just been brought into the cave; they must have been scared and thus lost their manners."
The Lady of the Golden Holy Palace rolled her eyes and asked the two maids, "Are you two newly arrived from Zhu Zi Country?"
"Exactly so!" Sand Monk replied.
Her face brightened with pleasure, and she hurriedly said, "Since you’ve just come from Zhu Zi Country, you must have news of His Majesty the King."
Zhu Bajie quickly responded, "Of course, we know. His Majesty even sent us with a message for you, but with so many ears around, I fear this is not the place to speak."
It was then that the Holy Palace Lady had her realization and turned to order the other maids, "All of you leave us!"
The maids did not dare to disobey the command and obediently filed out.
Zhu Bajie gave Sand Monk a look, prompting him to close the door promptly and discreetly set up a barrier to prevent eavesdropping from outside.
Afterward, Sand Monk wiped his hand over his face, reverting to his original appearance, startling the Lady of the Golden Holy Palace into exclaiming with alarm.
Zhu Bajie swiftly reassured her, "Fear not, Your Grace! We have been sent by His Majesty the King to rescue you and escort you back to the palace."
