She has been surviving on the fruit in her spatial storage and the meat left behind by the tiger and black bear for the past two days.
There are quite a few small animals in the mountains, but it's too difficult for her to hunt now that she's alone. At most, she can only go to the river in her space to catch a fish.
Waaaaah! She suddenly felt like Li Xiaochen had spoiled her so much that she'd turned her into a useless person.
Waaaaah! She misses Li Xiaochen so much!!
As Lin Yuxin was chatting with Zhizhi, her face suddenly fell, and she looked dejected. Seeing this, Zhizhi asked her, puzzled:
"Squeak!"
Woman, what's wrong with you?
I miss Li Xiaochen!
Lin Yuxin pouted and slumped onto the table, even the apple in her hand no longer smelled good!
"Squeak!"
You were spoiled by that man Li Xiaochen. You used to do everything yourself and try to do everything perfectly, but now you've become a useless person.
Squeaky, with unwavering determination, began to show her disdain.
Lin Yuxin completely agreed with Zhizhi's words, lay motionless on the table, and did not refute Zhizhi. After a while, her eyes began to droop and she fell asleep!
Zizi wasn't surprised to see Lin Yuxin like this. It knew how sleepy this woman was these past two days; sometimes she would fall asleep while reading in the space.
But... could this woman have some kind of health problem? She's been sleeping a lot lately, and she's been eating like crazy! Her mouth has never stopped.
A caterpillar on the table tilted its head, looking at Lin Yuxin with a puzzled expression, unable to understand what was wrong with her.
However, even if an insect racked its brains, it would never be able to figure this out.
Lin Yuxin was woken up by the noise outside not long after she fell asleep.
"Get out of the way! I need to go in!"
A sharp female voice came from outside the door.
"That's right, our Consort Zhen wants to go in, and you dare to stop her? Are you tired of living?"
A maidservant chimed in.
"Your Majesty! The Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
The two door gods at the entrance spoke solemnly and respectfully.
"How dare you! I am the Emperor's concubine, how could I not be allowed to enter? How dare you! You dare to defy your superiors?"
Consort Zhen's face darkened immediately after being humiliated by the two servants, and she reprimanded them sternly.
"Please forgive me, Consort Zhen, I was only acting under orders."
The two door gods spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, not yielding an inch; they only obeyed the Emperor's words.
"you…!"
Just as Consort Zhen was feeling rebuffed and hesitating whether to force her way in or leave, the gate suddenly creaked open.
After opening the door, Lin Yuxin didn't take a step out. She just leaned against the door, looking lazy and unreliable. She was watching Consort Zhen with a leisurely and amused expression.
The two gatekeeper soldiers glanced at her, and seeing that she had no intention of coming out, they ignored her. The emperor only said that she should not leave, and as long as she did not leave this gate, other matters were not their concern.
"Is it you, you wretched woman, who injured the Emperor? And you, you wretched woman, how dare you not bow before me?"
Consort Zhen looked at the woman inside, who was beautiful and refined, and sized her up. Her eyes were full of disdain. However, seeing Lin Yuxin's attitude, she felt that this woman did not take her seriously at all. She almost gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Yuxin with a venomous look.
However, Lin Yuxin was not afraid of her. Leaning against the door without moving, she looked at Consort Zhen and smiled faintly as she spoke:
"Stop calling me a slut! It sounds awful! I know you're a slut, but you don't have to introduce yourself to everyone! As for the Emperor's injury? That has nothing to do with me. It's just that your Emperor is in poor health; he got like that after sitting here for a while!"
"Oh! Right, and about that talk of bowing to you, do you even know who I am? You want me to bow to you? I'm afraid you're not destined for that!"
Lin Yuxin cursed without using any vulgar language, and also conveniently absolved the Emperor of any responsibility for his illness, her face clearly showing that it was none of her business!
"I don't care who you are. If you don't bow, you are disrespecting me. You lowly wretch, how dare you curse me? Guards, arrest her. I want her to learn the rules of the palace."
Consort Zhen was so enraged by Lin Yuxin's words that she lost her temper and glared at Lin Yuxin. If looks could kill, Lin Yuxin would have been killed several times over by now.
Consort Zhen angrily pointed at Lin Yuxin and gave the order directly.
"yes!"
Consort Zhen and her men obediently prepared to rush inside to capture Lin Yuxin, but they were blocked by two gatekeeper soldiers as soon as they reached the door.
"What do you mean? Is this vile woman so disrespectful, insulting the concubines, that I can't even punish her?"
Upon seeing this, Consort Zhen shouted angrily; she was truly furious with the two guards at the gate!
How could such a lowly person receive such protection from the Emperor?
"That Consort Zhen, you're having a hard time dealing with me! These two brothers have been guarding me here for two or three days now, and they've been doing their duty very well. You're just a concubine, how can you expect them to listen to you? Doesn't that mean your words carry more weight than the Emperor's?"
Lin Yuxin showed no womanly manners whatsoever, lazily watching Consort Zhen's furious outburst. Before the two gate guards could even speak, she took the initiative to add fuel to the fire.
"You vile woman, don't talk nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing?"
Consort Zhen's anger was startled by Lin Yuxin's words, and she instantly calmed down. If these words were to reach the Emperor's ears, she would certainly not have a good end.
"I'm talking nonsense? You came here and tried to defy the Emperor's orders and force your way in. The two soldiers have already said that this is the Emperor's order, but you still insisted on going your own way and tried to force your way in. Isn't that disregarding the Emperor's decree?"
Lin Yuxin didn't give her a chance to explain, and like a machine gun, she started slamming accusations against Consort Zhen.
"You...you...!"
Consort Zhen was truly speechless and completely calmed down. If she really barged in today and angered the Emperor, she would be finished!
But she was unwilling to give up. She knew that the emperor was lustful, and most of the women he had slept with were already married. Even she was someone the emperor had taken from him. However, once the emperor got tired of her, he rarely went to her again.
She hadn't seen the Emperor for several days. This woman was obviously married. Although she wasn't the Emperor's type, what if this vile woman had some tricks up her sleeve?
If the Emperor were truly captivated by her, he would be even less likely to visit her!
Consort Zhen took a deep breath, deciding to leave first and discuss the matter further upon returning home. She then flicked her sleeve, looked at Lin Yuxin, and coldly snorted, saying:
"Hmph! You just wait! We'll see what happens in the future!"
Then he turned and left.
"Hey! That Consort Zhen? Why are you leaving already? Let's chat a little longer! We still have so much to talk about! Hey! Don't go!!"
When Lin Yuxin saw that she had really left, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly stood up straight, wanting to stop this Consort Zhen, but was stopped by two doormen in the next second.
"Stop right there! Don't go out!"
"Ugh! I'm not going out, I'm not going out!"
Seeing the two swords blocking her way, Lin Yuxin quickly raised her hands, took a step back cautiously, and said...
