So, poor Yu Xiang became Lu Xian's punching bag, and every time she did, she would get hurt again. But she felt that she had finally got a job, she could eat and wear warm clothes, and the person who beat and scolded her was her master.
Therefore, even after being beaten every day, she dared not tell anyone. She also had to hide to prevent others from seeing her injuries.
But every palace maid has a good friend, and Yuxiang is no exception.
On this day, Yu Xiang's friend Liu Xiang was discussing something with Yu Xiang. Liu Xiang grabbed Yu Xiang's wound. Yu Xiang couldn't hold back and cried out, which scared Liu Xiang.
"What's wrong with you? I didn't use much force just now!" Liuxiang was a little confused. He just grabbed her arm, why did she react so strongly?
Being beaten and scolded by the master is a common occurrence in the harem. Could it be that Yuxiang was beaten? Thinking of this, Liuxiang lifted the clothes on Yuxiang's arm.
Then, she saw her arm covered in bruises and purples: "Hey, Yuxiang, were you beaten?"
Liuxiang was a little bit unbelievable. Beating and scolding were common occurrences, but no master had ever been so cruel.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get you some medicine." Liuxiang knew that Yuxiang and Xu Chen'an had a good relationship, so she prepared to go to Xu Chen'an to ask for some medicine for the wound.
"Doctor Xu, can you give me some medicine for my wounds?" Liuxiang thought about it and felt that she couldn't say much about the fact that Yuxiang was beaten by her master. After all, they were slaves and could only endure the beating.
Even though she felt a thousand times unconvinced, thinking they were all human, why were they so miserable? But all she could do was find some medicine for Yu Xiang. This was the unfairness of social status.
When Xu Chen'an heard Liuxiang's request, he frowned. You know, a palace maid is not allowed to ask him for medicine for injuries casually.
However, Xu Chen'an felt that the palace maid in front of him looked a little familiar. After looking carefully, it seemed that this person was Yu Xiang's friend.
However, the rules cannot be abolished, so Xu Chen'an said: "Why do you want medicine? Don't you know that medicine can't be given to people casually?"
Liuxiang could see that Xu Chen'an didn't want to give her the medicine, but when she thought of Yuxiang's current situation, Liuxiang became very anxious.
She couldn't tell anyone about Yu Xiang's injury, so now she was both conflicted and at a loss.
What should I do? Yu Xiang’s injuries are so severe, what should I do if there is no medicine?
For a moment, a look of anxiety and helplessness appeared on Liuxiang's face.
After thinking about it, Liuxiang felt that she should try harder, so she said to Xu Chen'an with a sad face, "Doctor Xu, please give me some medicine for my wounds. It can save my life."
Seeing Liuxiang say this, Xu Chen'an remembered that she was Yuxiang's good friend, and she had no problems, and she said she was saving her life, Xu Chen'an understood a little in his heart.
When Liuxiang returned to Yuxiang's residence, he called Yuxiang over with a smile on his face. He was about to lift Yuxiang's clothes and apply medicine to her.
Yu Xiang saw her movements and knew that little palace maids like them were not qualified to ask the imperial physician for medicine for injuries. She frowned and asked, "Where did you get this medicine?"
Originally, when she heard Liuxiang say that she was going to ask for medicine, she was prepared for Liuxiang to return empty-handed, but she didn't expect that Liuxiang actually got the medicine.
She knew Liuxiang's character and thought that Liuxiang must have begged for the medicine from someone else. Thinking of this, Yuxiang stopped Liuxiang from applying the medicine to her: "I can't use this medicine."
Liuxiang felt a little puzzled. She had finally gotten the medicine, so why was Yuxiang unwilling to use it?
"I asked someone for this medicine. Don't worry, it's okay." Liuxiang explained, fearing that Yuxiang might worry about the unknown origin of the medicine.
But she didn't expect Yu Xiang to be so insistent. Even after explaining the origin of the medicine, Yu Xiang was still unwilling to use it.
"Please give this medicine back. I don't need it. I have thick skin and this little injury is nothing to worry about." As she said this, Yu Xiang jumped up and down deliberately, trying to prove that she was fine.
But Liuxiang still noticed her forbearing expression and realized how stubborn Yuxiang was. Liuxiang knew that she could not win the argument with her at all.
So, Liuxiang simply stopped applying the medicine to her and put it on the table: "Anyway, I have taken the medicine back and I will never give it back. You can use it or not. I am leaving now."
Looking at Liuxiang's back, Yuxiang sighed. She knew that Liuxiang did this for her own sake. It was just her token of love, and she said she would not return it, so she would definitely not return it.
Yuxiang felt it was worth it to have such a friend in the palace. With tears in her eyes, Yuxiang picked up the medicine that Liuxiang had put down and began to apply it to herself.
Lu Xian came back from Xu Chuchu. She didn't know what was going on. During this period, Xu Chuchu was always angry. However, it was okay that she lost her temper with the palace maids and eunuchs, but she even lost her temper with herself.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't speak, how could I have gone to see her? I didn't expect that my kindness would not be rewarded, and she actually got angry with me.
Thinking of this, Lu Xian felt extremely angry. When she returned to the palace, she saw Yu Xiang sweeping the floor.
Humph, Lu Xian snorted coldly and walked over: "How do you sweep this floor? You have been in the palace for so long, hasn't anyone taught you?"
When Yu Xiang heard this, she knew Lu Xian was deliberately looking for trouble. She had clearly cleaned the floor very well. However, she couldn't go against Lu Xian, so she could only kneel down in front of her and say, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will clean it again."
However, Lu Xian was just looking for trouble on purpose to vent her anger on Yu Xiang, so how could she change her mind just because of Yu Xiang's two words?
"Pa." Lu Xian slapped Yu Xiang on the face and said to her viciously, "Forgive me? If I don't forgive you, what are you going to say to me?"
Yu Xiang knew that no matter what she said, Lu Xian would have something to say, so she simply remained silent and didn't speak anymore.
However, she didn't speak, which made Lu Xian even more unhappy: "What? What do you mean by not speaking? Do you think my words are just wind on the ears? Damn slave."
"Your Majesty, please spare me!" Yu Xiang had no choice but to beg for mercy. She was deeply touched by the torture Lu Xian had inflicted on her during this period and didn't want to be tortured again.
However, Lu Xian was angry today, and Yu Xiang made her feel unhappy. How could she let Yu Xiang go easily? She punched Yu Xiang, making her body tremble constantly.
From the moment Lu Xian slapped her, Yu Xiang felt that today might not end so easily. After all, no matter how much Lu Xian tortured herself, she would never slap herself in the face. But today, she actually slapped herself in the face, which meant that she was so angry that she had lost her mind.
