Xie Yunjiao suddenly came back and came to Xie Xiuer's bed with a whip. She swung her hand and smashed the whip hard on the bed.
The whip was less than a thumb's distance away from Xie Xiuer's head. Xie Xiuer felt as if the whip was hitting her own body. She was so scared that her whole body shuddered and her scalp went numb.
It took Xie Xiu'er a while to come back to her senses. She yelled at Xie Yunjiao, "Yun Qiao, you're crazy!"
"How dare you be so disrespectful to this queen? Give me a slap in the face." Xie Yunjiao shouted.
Lian'er looked at Xie Yunjiao in panic and said, "Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this!"
Given their current relationship, if Xie Xiuer was injured, Xie Yunjiao would probably suffer as well.
Xie Yunjiao said to Lian'er, "It's okay. Hit me hard."
Lian'er couldn't persuade Xie Yunjiao, but she was afraid of hurting Xie Yunjiao, so she had to touch Xie Xiu'er gently.
Not to mention that Xie Yunjiao was in pain, Xie Xiuer herself didn't feel anything at all.
Xie Xiuer sneered: "Pretending."
She actually hoped that Lian'er would really hit her, so that even if she got slapped, Xie Yunjiao would still feel the pain.
She felt happy when she saw Xie Yunjiao in pain.
"Lian'er, haven't you eaten yet?" Xie Yunjiao glanced at Lian'er and called her aside. "Since no one dares to fight, let me do it myself."
Lian'er wanted to stop her, but Xie Yunjiao pushed her away.
Xie Yunjiao slapped Xie Xiuer in the face, and Xie Xiuer's face was twisted to the side. After a while, a red palm print appeared on her fair face.
Xie Xiuer almost fainted from the pain, but she gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of Xie Yunjiao, because she wanted to see Xie Yunjiao's painful expression, so that the slap she received would not be in vain.
But what was shocking was that after Xie Yunjiao slapped her, she acted as if nothing had happened, without any expression of pain at all.
She was stunned for a moment and said, "Impossible, how could it not hurt? This must be a lie!"
Xie Yunjiao sneered at Xie Xiuer and said, "So, don't challenge my patience. If I'm in a good mood, I'll cooperate with you. If I'm in a bad mood, I can kill you at any time.
Don't think you can use your own life to control me."
After saying that, Xie Yunjiao really left.
Xie Xiu'er stared blankly at the direction where Xie Yunjiao left, her head in a mess.
It's strange. If she and Xie Yunjiao really have no connection, why would Jing Kai order people to guard her and prevent her from abusing herself?
But if they really were related, why didn't Xie Yunjiao show any expression of pain when she hit her just now?
Is there really no connection between them? Doesn't that mean she could die at any moment?
Thinking of this, Xie Xiuer couldn't help but shiver.
After Xie Yunjiao walked out of the bedroom, she finally couldn't help but curse, "Mom, it hurts."
If she wasn't putting on a show for Xie Xiuer, she wouldn't have slapped Xie Xiuer so hard.
Lian'er was overjoyed, thinking that Xie Yunjiao and Xie Xiu'er had nothing to do with each other anymore, when she suddenly saw Xie Yunjiao covering her face in pain. Only then did she realize that Xie Yunjiao's face was gradually becoming red and swollen.
She was startled and began to search frantically in her bag.
After much difficulty, he found a bottle of almost empty ointment and gave it to Xie Yunjiao like a treasure, but found that she had already walked away.
Lian'er quickly chased after her and said, "Queen, let me help you apply some medicine. This medicine was given to me by you before, but I have never been willing to use it. I still have more."
Xie Yunjiao glanced at the ointment in Lian'er's hand and found that it was indeed given by the original owner.
At that time, Lian'er accidentally burned her hand, and the original owner gave this bottle of ointment to Lian'er.
This ointment was brought back by Jing Kai from Jiuzhou Kingdom. It is said to be a secret medicine from the palace and is very effective.
Yun Qiao usually keeps it like a treasure and is reluctant to use it himself.
When she forced it on Lian'er, Lian'er didn't dare to take it at all, but Yun Qiao scooped out a lot of it out of spite and smeared it on Lian'er's hands.
But the medicine was really effective. Not long after Lian'er applied the ointment on her hands, the burning sensation on her hands disappeared, and soon her hands stopped hurting. There was no peeling or blisters like usual when burned. Her hands were fine, as if they had never been injured!
She returned the ointment to Yun Qiao, but Yun Qiao said he didn't want it and asked Lian'er to throw it away.
Lian'er couldn't bear to part with it and kept it.
I didn’t expect it to come in handy again now.
Xie Yunjiao looked at the ointment in Lian'er's hand, and with her reminder, she finally remembered what the ointment was.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Isn't this the ointment made by Ye Baien himself? Not to mention the common people in Jiuzhou, even the princes and nobles might not be able to use this ointment.
But she had a lot of them in her hands, all given to her by Ye Baien.
Ye Baien also made other ointments for Gu Huai, and the scars on his face disappeared after Gu Huai used them.
No one knew how Jing Kai got it, but Yun Qiao treasured it so much that he was reluctant to use it.
Later, due to a misunderstanding, he gave the ointment to Lian'er out of anger, and now it is back in her hands.
"No, I won't apply it now." Xie Yunjiao said.
If she dealt with it now, Xie Xiuer would definitely become suspicious of her when she felt the pain on her face disappear.
Lian'er thought Xie Yunjiao was still bothered by the past so she didn't say anything more.
Xie Yunjiao was afraid that Ruan Qing would be sad again if she saw the scars on her face, so she put on some makeup and concealer outside before going to find Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing had changed out of her luxurious clothes and removed all the hairpins on her head. She put on simple clothes and looked like an ordinary woman from a distance.
Lian'er didn't recognize Ruan Qing at first.
"Lian'er, my mother and I are about to leave here. I came to you today just to tell you that you can leave here and go wherever you want."
As she spoke, Xie Yunjiao handed Lian'er a small bundle containing some small change and a few banknotes.
The money added up is enough for Lian'er to buy a house and live a safe and peaceful life.
Lian'er's eyes turned red and she didn't reach out to take the bag that Xie Yunjiao handed over.
She knelt down in front of Xie Yunjiao and said, "This servant is useless. I recognized the wrong master and caused you to suffer a lot.
But I will only recognize you as my master in my life, and I will follow you no matter where you go.
Please don't chase me away, okay?"
As Lian'er spoke, tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
Ruan Qing couldn't help but feel sore under his eyes when he saw it.
She said to Xie Yunjiao, "I heard you haven't had anyone close to you, so let Lian'er stay. I think she's a very sensible and caring child."
