Chapter 197 Ling'er's Decision

After taking care of Rou and getting her to go to bed, Ling'er quietly waited outside the house. Only then did she have the mind to think carefully about what she had just seen.

Jianqiu must have come here tonight to talk to Rouda. Although they deliberately sent her away at that time, she had guessed the purpose of Jianqiu's coming. It was nothing more than to use Rouda as a tool again. The scene she just saw through the crack in the door further confirmed her guess.

She had noticed that corner in the house before. Every time Rou Da Ying would forbid herself to get close to that place. She remembered that once she secretly took a look when Rou Da Ying was not paying attention. It was that one look that made her terrified.

The thing in there is definitely harmful, and Gang Rou agreed to take it out again, apparently she promised Jian Qiu something.

Ling'er also knew that Rou Da Ying was now completely out of power, and if she continued to follow her, she would have no future. In this world, everyone will be punished by heaven and earth if they don't work for themselves. It was not excessive for her to want to find a good way out for herself. After all, she had served Rou Da Ying for such a long time and she had done her best.

Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed across Ling'er's face, and she finally had an idea of ​​what to do next.

“Ling’er, Ling’er!!”

"Ling'er, where the hell have you been?"

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the room, and Ling'er's whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Here it comes again. Ling'er looked inside the house with some fear, hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to walk into the house.

Ever since being trapped in Chuxiu Palace, Rou Da Ying's temperament has become unpredictable, especially at night. She would wake up from time to time and take her anger out on Ling'er.

At first, she was just scolded a few times, but later, it gradually turned into beatings and scoldings from time to time. There was no trace of the gentleness and virtuousness that the emperor had described her as before.

"My lady, what's wrong with you? Are you thirsty? Do you want me to help you up?"

Ling'er walked into the house cautiously and came to the couch where Rou had agreed, her eyes full of fear.

"You slut, I've been calling you so many times, are you dead? Why don't you come in?"

Rou agreed and sat up, staring at Ling'er who was standing in front of her. Her sharp eyes seemed as if she wanted to cut Ling'er into pieces.

"Please forgive me, my lord. I was careless and did not hear your summons in time."

At the beginning, Ling'er would explain a few words, but later she found that the more she said, the more hurt she would suffer. It would be better for her to just follow what Rou agreed to say, so that she could suffer less physical pain.

However, Ling'er's obedience did not win Rou's mercy. Tonight, she didn't know whether she was stimulated by Jianqiu's words, but she had been haunted by nightmares since nightfall, and became extremely irritable after waking up.

Ling'er didn't know when, but she saw Rouda standing up and standing in front of her without paying attention. She seemed to have something in her hand, and suddenly she threw it at Ling'er.

"Slut, I told you not to come in, and you couldn't hear me even when I called you. What's the matter? Do you think I'm easy to bully now that I've fallen out of favor?"

"My lord, please forgive me. I really didn't do that. I am absolutely loyal to you. Please forgive me."

But at this time, Rou Ying was not willing to listen to what others said. She seemed to be trapped in her own world, and only knew how to vent her anger by beating and scolding Ling'er.

For a moment, the whole house was filled with sharp sounds of beating and scolding, interspersed with Ling'er's pleas for mercy from time to time.

The Chuxiu Palace is now no different from the Cold Palace. No matter how loud the noise they make in the side hall, no one will hear it. However, even if someone hears it, others will not come forward to check. At most, they will secretly feel sorry for Ling'er in their hearts.

What a pity!

After a round of beating and scolding, Rou finally stopped, perhaps because she was a little tired. At this time, Ling'er was already devastated. She huddled her thin body, with great fear on her face, but her heart was even more determined about her previous idea.

She couldn't live like this anymore. If she stayed here any longer, she would die soon.

Rou agreed to put down the things in her hands and sat on the stool to rest for a while, but she still stared at Ling'er fiercely, her face full of disdain for her.

"You slut, I'm warning you, you'd better not have any second thoughts, otherwise I will definitely kill you."

Ling'er quickly knelt on the ground and crawled to Rou's side: "My lord, please forgive me. Even if you give me ten times the courage, I would not dare to have any improper thoughts. Please forgive me this time."

"Get out. Just looking at you gives me a headache."

"Thank you, my lady. Thank you, my lady."

After getting Rou's permission, Ling'er quickly stood up and walked out.

It was not until her body completely collapsed on the ground outside the house that Ling'er felt that she was alive again. Rou was particularly fierce tonight. She even thought that she would not survive the night.

She had been slapped many times on the face. Even without a dressing mirror, Ling'er could feel the burning pain on her face. She didn't know how long it would take for the pain to completely go away.

As she thought about it, her tears couldn't help but fall. She didn't want to live like this for another day.

She watched the moonlight in the sky, hoping that the sky would brighten earlier the next day, as if this would give her a new life.

She didn't know how much time had passed in her daze, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.

Afraid of disturbing Rou Da Ying who was still sleeping soundly in the house, Ling'er walked quietly to prepare toiletries for her.

After everything was settled, Ling'er walked firmly towards Yongshou Palace on the pretext of going to the imperial kitchen to get food.
