East Palace

Xu Wanqing brought Guizhi into the East Palace. At this moment, her face was gloomy.

Now that her mother's work is done, it's time for her to deal with these disobedient bitches.

When the palace maids saw Xu Wanqing, they simply nodded and greeted her: "Hello, Madam Xu."

Xu Wanqing remained calm. She didn't need to take these servants seriously.

Guizhi, who was standing aside, had a pale face at the moment. She had no energy at all. Her shoulders were drooping and she walked weakly.

"Hurry up! Is your leg broken too? If your leg is broken, I will break it too!"

Guizhi couldn't help but shiver, lowered her head, and quickened her pace.

The palace maids beside them saw this and didn't understand what Xu Wanqing meant by "it was also broken". They looked at Guizhi without saying a word and felt full of sympathy.

When she returned to Hehua Palace, Xu Wanqing couldn't help but knock everything over to the floor.

Soon, the entire Hehua Palace was in ruins.

Although the palace maids here were not surprised by her behavior, they still couldn't help but tremble with fear when they saw her acting so crazy.

"Go, call Qingping here for me."

"yes!"

In order to avoid facing this situation again, a young palace maid even claimed that she had run away.

The others were jealous of her quick reaction. Who among them didn't want such an opportunity?

"What are you looking at? Don't you have anything to do? Can't you see that this place is a mess?"

"Yes, yes, your Majesty, calm down. The maids will go and sort it out right away."

The palace maids knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

"Hurry, I want to see everything is back to normal here!"

"yes!"

The palace servants scattered around, busy tidying up the flower palace, hoping not to suffer any torture.

When Qingping arrived, Hehua Palace had already been cleaned up.

After staying in the laundry room for so long, Qingping has lost her former cuteness and looks like a country woman, dressed in tattered clothes.

Seeing Xu Wanqing, Qingping's eyes flashed with jealousy and hatred. Then, she knelt down and called out respectfully, "The maid pays her respects to Madam Xu."

Looking at Qingping crawling on the ground, Xu Wanqing felt mixed emotions.

Qingping is the person she trusts the most. What happened to make her become like this?

She sighed, walked over to Qingping, and helped her up. "Qingping, why are you so distant when you see me?"

"My lady, I am a servant, my status is different..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? You grew up with me. Even if there was any unpleasantness in the past, you have to forget it, okay?"

Qingping nodded, but a sneer appeared in her heart.

She said forget it, so just forget it?

In the laundry room, he was beaten and scolded, starved, and even offered to...

She is the one who suffers all these hardships, how can she forget them?

I can’t forget it!

Qingping's eyes were red, but she sniffed and held it back.

"You feel wronged, right? Was it that bitch Lin Yue'e who deliberately provoked you, or was it...Xu Wanyan?"

Qingping shook her head. "Don't blame others. It's my fault."

Seeing this, Xu Wanqing didn't plan to talk about this topic anymore.

She took Qingping's hand and sat aside, "Qingping, you have suffered a lot. Look at your hands, they are injured."

Qingping didn't say anything, but looked at her hands, which were covered with frostbite and it itched so much that it was excruciating.

"Go, bring me the White Jade Pearl Cream."

"yes!"

Soon, a palace maid brought white jade pearl cream.

Xu Wanqing opened it, gently scooped out a little, and smeared it on Qingping's hand.

"Just apply pearl cream and your chilblains will be cured."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. We've been master and servant for so many years, how could I ever lie to you?"

Qingping looked at her hands. They felt cool and no longer itchy.

"Really? It's really not itchy anymore?"

"I'm not lying to you. Take this whole box. If it's not enough, come back and get more. I'm going to cure your hand."

Qingping nodded, "Thank you, my lady."

Xu Wanqing smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Let's go back to the Hehua Palace from now on."

"Really?"

Xu Wanqing nodded, "You are the most reliable person around me. The others... are a bunch of trash!"

Xu Wanqing's eyes swept over everyone, and they shuddered, looking at Qingping with a hint of pleading in their eyes.

It seems that Qingping's arrival can save them from danger.

Qingping nodded, "Okay, I'll be back to serve you, thank you, Your Majesty."

"That's right."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Guizhi who was standing beside her and said, "You, go to the laundry room and replace Qingping."

Guizhi's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly shook her head, making a humming sound from her mouth. It can be seen that she was very afraid of the laundry room.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what had happened to Guizhi.

You just make humming sounds with your mouth, why don’t you speak?

"Someone, drag Guizhi away!"

“Ahhh…”

Guizhi knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy. If she went to the laundry room, how would she have the chance to take revenge?

No, she can't go, she wants revenge!

While Guizhi was begging for mercy, everyone saw a shocking scene: Guizhi had lost her tongue.

Thinking of the possibility, they shuddered instantly, and looked at Xu Wanqing with eyes full of fear.

Even Qingping couldn't help trembling. She clenched her fists and forced herself to control her body to stop shaking.

"What are you looking at? This is the fate of those who disobey. If you don't obey in the future, Guizhi's fate will be your fate."

"Quick, drag Guizhi away!"

They knew that Xu Wanqing's orders could not be disobeyed, so they could only drag Guizhi with tears in their eyes.

Even after being dragged into the yard, Guizhi still refused to leave. She kept pulling at the pillar and crying.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore, so when Xu Wanqing wasn't paying attention, they ran to He Ye Dian.

"Liang Di, Liang Di, help! Something's happened to Guizhi!"

Xu Wanyu was sitting leisurely in the yard drinking tea, but unexpectedly, she heard a cry for help outside.

"Go and have a look."

"yes!"

After a while, Chunliu came in with someone, "Liang Di, this is the palace maid from the Hehua Palace."

The visitor knelt down upon seeing Xu Wanyu, "Lady Liang, I have seen you before in the Hehua Palace..."

Before she could finish, Xu Wanyu's face darkened. What was she saying? Wasn't it just reminding her that she used to be a palace maid?

"What do you want from me?"

"Liang Di, I've seen that you and Guizhi are good friends. Now that Guizhi is in trouble, you must save her!"

Cassia twig?

Xu Wanyu showed a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth. She was the master and Guizhi was the servant. How could they be good friends?

Besides, everything she has now is achieved by herself, not by Guizhi.

"What happened to Guizhi?"

His tone was full of laziness.

"Guizhi had her tongue pulled out by Madam Xu, and now she has to be sent to the laundry room."
