Chapter 87 Willing to Be a Pawn

"Yes! I, the daughter of a guilty minister, did not hesitate to change my appearance and sneak into the palace in order to avenge my family! But Murong Che, don't be complacent. Even if I didn't kill you, I will not let you go after I turn into a fierce ghost after I die! Just wait, I will definitely come back to take your life!"

After Ning finished speaking, she bit her back teeth hard.

The poison hidden between her teeth was bitten, and soon a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of her lips.

Ning slowly raised her head and looked at the skylight behind Murong Che. Light was shining in from the skylight.

But she was too far away from the light, destined to be buried in darkness forever.

No one knew that on the night when the Ning family was massacred, she was saved from death because she squatted in the toilet for half an hour due to a stomach upset.

From that night on, she lost her home and her relatives and became an orphan fleeing everywhere.

She had eaten other people's unwanted leftovers, slop, and even snatched food from stray dogs.

She thought she would be like rotten mud, staying in the quagmire and living in confusion for the rest of her life.

It was Murong Ye who saved her and brought her light and hope.

He asked someone to teach her martial arts in order to send her to the palace.

She knew that he was not seeking revenge for her, but was using her desire for revenge as a pawn.

She knew his plan very well, but she was willing to join the game and become a chess piece.

But she failed to help him get what he wanted, nor could she avenge her family.

She will always remember the day when she first met Murong Ye. She was nearly insulted by a few beggars in a dilapidated temple, but Murong Ye descended from the sky and saved her from the dire straits.

At that time, the handsome young man swung his sword to kill the beggar neatly, and then took off his blood-stained cloak and covered her with it. She would never forget that scene for the rest of her life.

She was trembling, and he picked her up and lifted her onto the horse.

Their meeting was not beautiful, but it was unforgettable.

How nice it would be if time could stay forever at the moment when he carried her onto the horse!

Ning recalled every detail of the past years, and the moment she closed her eyes, a tear rolled down her cheek.

Murong Che saw her bite the poison sac between her teeth and wanted to rush forward to stop her, but he was still a step too late.

Ning is no longer alive.

After Xue Qingyao finished talking with Murong Ye, he also had new plans for the future.

What's the point of fighting with Xue Youli?

Since she couldn't capture Murong Che, what she had to do now was to win the heart of Queen Mother Yin as soon as possible.

When Queen Mother Yin obeys her in the future, wouldn't it be just a matter of a word from Queen Mother Yin to kill Xue Youli?

However, before Xue Qingyao reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw from a distance that Nanny Li was smiling happily as she escorted Xue Youli out the door.

"Mr. Xue, I am so sorry for what you have done to me today. I have not seen the Queen Mother smile so happily in a long time."

Xue Youli had just developed a treatment plan for Empress Dowager Yin and gave her acupuncture treatment on the spot.

After the acupuncture treatment, Empress Dowager Yin felt much more relieved. Not only did she reward Xue Youli with a set of jewelry made of Hainan's finest pearls, she also asked Nanny Li to personally see her off.

Xue Youli smiled slightly, "Madame Li, please stay. I can go back by myself."

"Yes, Madam Li, you go and accompany the Empress Dowager. I'll see Noble Xue off!" Chu Xinyue squeezed out of the yard, waved to Madam Li, and pulled Xue Youli away.

Because Xue Qingyao didn't catch all the people who eavesdropped on her and Murong Ye last night, she pretended to be sick and didn't leave the yard early this morning, and missed the big show at the Queen Mother's place.

At this moment, she looked at the backs of Chu Xinyue and Xue Youli walking away hand in hand, her heart full of confusion.

Every time these two meet, they look like they want to kill each other. When did their relationship become so good?

How unusual!

However, she had more important things to do and had no time to think about what happened between them.

Xue Qingyao retracted her gaze and saw that Nanny Li was about to close the gate after sending Xue Youli away, so she rushed over and said, "Nanny Li, wait a moment! Please tell them, I want to see the Queen Mother!"

Nanny Li glanced at her and snorted, "Lady Xue, the Queen Mother is resting and won't see guests!"

“Hey!”

Seeing that she would not let him in, Xue Qingyao held the door open with her hand, "Madame Li, I have something very important to discuss with the Queen Mother! Please let me in!"

While speaking, she stuffed the change she had prepared in advance into Li Ma's hand.

Nanny Li lowered her head and looked at the silver in her hand which was smaller than a fingernail. She rolled her eyes and threw the silver to Xue Qingyao in disgust. "Lady Xue, please go back no matter what you want. The Queen Mother does not want to see anyone today!"

Her action of throwing the silver was so sudden that Xue Qingyao didn't have time to react, and the silver change was thrown directly to the ground.

Xue Qingyao didn't care about anything else and hurriedly tugged at Li Ma's sleeve, "Ma'am Li, I heard that the Empress Dowager had a headache again. I remembered that my mother also had a headache, so I learned a set of massage techniques from the doctor, which is very effective for headaches. Let me in, I can help the Empress Dowager relieve her headache!"

After hearing this, Nanny Li rolled her eyes even wider. "What? Lady Xue has no other excuses? She actually copied Noble Xue's words? To tell you the truth, the Queen Mother's headache has been cured. It was Noble Xue who cured it! So, there is no need to bother Lady Xue!"

After that, she pushed Xue Qingyao out with all her strength and shut the gate heavily. "What the hell, you want to buy me off with a small amount of silver? Are you treating me like a beggar?"

After Nanny Li finished her nagging, she still felt unsatisfied, and went back to her room to rest, cursing all the way.

Outside the courtyard gate, Xue Qingyao almost had his nose broken by the gate.

Through the door, she heard what Nanny Li said and her face turned blue with anger.

Doesn't she want to give more money?

She was repeatedly fined for her salary in the harem, and the little money she had on her was mostly spent on maintaining relationships.

Other concubines in the harem received subsidies from their parents' families, but she did not.

She was short of money now, so she pinched her penny to give Madam Li a small piece of silver.

As a result, Nanny Li didn't like the bribe at all and threw it to her intact.

It is also said that Xue Youli has cured the Queen Mother’s headache?

Xue Youli! Xue Youli! It's Xue Youli again!

Why does this woman go against her at every turn?

Xue Qingyao had originally planned to spare Xue Youli for the time being, but he didn't expect Xue Youli to be looking for death.

OK!

Then I will fulfill her wish!

Murong Ye and Murong Nan have already made an appointment to go fishing in the back mountain. This will be a great opportunity!

She thought about it and turned away.

But after walking a few steps, he turned back and picked up the silver coins on the ground.

She held the silver coins and gritted her teeth.

Nanny Li is such a shrewd old slave who looks down on others. When she becomes the queen, she will kill her first!
