When the two arrived at the Imperial Garden, Chaochao Mumu was feeding fish on a small bridge.
Sang Jiang's expression immediately relaxed when she saw the two of them.
She looked at the two of them and softly called out, "Day and night."
As soon as they saw her, they turned around and looked at her. When they saw her, their brows relaxed instantly. The two children ran to her side like playful children and hugged her legs.
Mumu even rubbed her little head against her leg vigorously.
Sang Jiang smiled and led them to the riverbank, where she continued feeding the fish with them.
Some are happy, some are sad; at the same time, in Jingren Palace.
The Empress was watching the palace maids do her nails; her fingers looked exceptionally slender and fair against the backdrop of the red nail polish.
She admired her fingers with satisfaction while looking at the peony, and asked softly, "What is it?"
You could tell she was in a very good mood.
Peony felt slightly relieved. She lowered her head and said timidly, "Your Majesty, this servant has found out what the Emperor and Sanyoumu did in the room that day."
"Hmm." The Empress nodded nonchalantly, looking at her hands with increasing satisfaction, her eyes carefully admiring her nails, her tone indifferent: "Tell me about it."
"The Emperor just let Sanyoumu stay in the room to sleep together..." After saying this, Shaoyao immediately lowered her head. She clenched her fists before daring to say these words. She could already imagine the Empress's expression.
Feeling the cold air around the Empress, she knelt there motionless, not daring to raise her head, even her breathing was light and shallow, for fear of attracting the Empress's attention and getting involved again.
As expected, the empress at the head of the table threw a cup next to her with a "smack." The cup fell to the ground, and shards cut her hand. She felt a sharp pain and, when she looked down, she found that her hand was already dripping blood.
But she dared not move, fearing that the Empress would be even angrier, and that she would only be more upset.
"Sleeping? They actually slept together!?" The Queen's voice was sharp, like a dull object rubbing against a wall, making it very unpleasant to listen to.
Peony shrugged again, kneeling on the ground without daring to utter a single word.
"Are you sure you looked carefully? If you dare to lie to me, you'll regret it!" The Empress seemed determined not to let her off the hook, and asked her sternly.
Peony's shoulders trembled even more violently. She didn't dare to look up, and just kept her head down, nodding vigorously. "Yes...yes, this servant is sure I saw it clearly."
"Alright." The Empress glanced at her for a few seconds, then waved her hand impatiently. "Get out! Remember to report back to me if you have anything to say!"
"This servant understands, this servant takes her leave." Peony kowtowed to her before slowly turning to leave.
As soon as she stepped outside, tears streamed down her face. She looked down at her bleeding arm and felt a wave of pain wash over her.
She was accused of offending the Empress simply because her name was Peony, and the Empress forced her to do hard labor for her, constantly beating and scolding her.
She really wanted to refuse the Empress, but she couldn't refuse because the consequence of refusal would be death.
At that moment, she suddenly hated her parents. Why did they send her to this deep palace to suffer this torment?
