Chapter 355 Zhao Hede 16
"Zhaoyi, Zhaoyi! Empress Dowager Dingtao forced this servant to do this. I had no choice, Zhaoyi. Please, please forgive me. I beg you to forgive me this time. I will never dare to betray you again!"
Palace Lady Fan could no longer control her expression of horror. She had never thought that Hede knew everything she and the Queen Mother Dingtao had done, and could even plot to kill the Queen Mother Dingtao, who had been dominating the harem for many years, from such a distance. At this moment, her desire to survive made her kneel at Hede's feet, and she no longer had the vague feeling of being superior to him as before.
"I still like your rebellious look from before. You always looked up, thinking you had me in your hands and were playing me around like crazy. Were you so proud?"
Zhao Hede kicked Fan Gongren away, and Yu Kezi beside her took out a dagger from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.
"Please ask Palace Lady Fan to go on the road."
"No, no, I don't want to die. Please spare my life, Zhaoyi. Please spare my life! As long as Zhaoyi spares this humble life of yours, I will go through fire and water, and this slave will not hesitate!"
Palace maid Fan kowtowed hard. Now her life and death depended on Zhao Hede's decision. She didn't dare to stop even if her head was broken, for fear that Zhao Zhaoyi would think she was not sincere enough.
"Forget it, you look too ugly. I'm pregnant now, and I can't let someone like you ruin my appetite."
Zhao Hede touched herself and smiled brightly at the Fan palace maids: "Besides, a demon queen like me should naturally accompany you, the flatterers. Since you are still useful, I will spare you if you cut off one finger with your dagger."
Palace maid Fan looked at her gentle eyes and realized that there was no room for turning the situation around. She could only tremblingly pick up the dagger on the ground, think again and again, and put it on the little finger of her left hand, but she was hesitant to chop it down.
“Tsk.”
In the quiet hall, Zhao Hede's impatient voice exploded in her heart like thunder. Fan Gongren's mind went blank, her body automatically exerted force, and her right hand fell.
Before she could even scream in pain, Yu Kezi rudely stuffed a rag into her mouth.
"Okay, take that piece of your finger away. Place it on your bedside table every day to remind yourself if it happens again."
The corners of Zhao Hede's bright red mouth unconsciously widened, revealing the tip of her red tongue: "I will chop off the tender heads of your two children and hang them by your bed."
Palace maid Fan fell to the ground and twitched constantly, not knowing whether it was out of pain or fear. When she heard Zhao Hede's shout of "Get out", she seemed to have obeyed the will of heaven, picked up her finger on the ground, and ran out without looking back.
"Let her handle all the communication with Chunyu Chang and the Wang family from now on."
Zhao Hede looked at the other party's stumbling steps and felt that she was indeed the first environmentalist in the Han Dynasty. Look at our waste utilization. When my Zhao family replaced the Wang family in the future, she could join those people in humanitarian destruction.
[I am already a concubine who has been remembered throughout history as a disaster to the nation. How could my family not be the most prominent family group in the Han Dynasty?]
"Yes, but Zhaoyi, you are using such a traitor. What if..."
Before Yu Kezi finished speaking, Zhao Hede already understood. She chuckled, unconcerned, "If she really had the guts, you'd probably be outdone by her."
Yu Kezi paused as she wiped the blood, then continued to slowly wipe away the tiny bit of blood, silently saying, "I won't give her this chance."
"I'm not interested in the affairs of you servants," Zhao Hede waved her hand, stood up excitedly, and stepped on Yu Kezi's palm: "I want to try on the wedding dress they sent. Go and call a few young girls with delicate hands in."
Yu Kezi lowered his eyes and saw that he could hold Hede's right foot with one hand. He looked at his left foot that was stepping on his sleeve. He felt a little regretful, but his movements were very neat.
"Please lift your feet," Yu Kezi used her free left hand to pick up the clogs and put them on Hede. Then she stood up and bowed, "I will call someone in right away."
After a while, a group of girls who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old came in one after another. The one leading the group had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and was nimble in her movements. She was a beauty like a beautiful girl from a small family. When she saw Hede's apricot-like eyes, she couldn't help but get excited.
"Ah, it's you. Have you collected my butterflies?"
Lian'er didn't expect that Zhao Zhaoyi still remembered her. Her originally reserved smile immediately widened uncontrollably, and her originally pretty face became inexplicably silly.
"I have been keeping it carefully. Several sisters in the same room wanted to see it, but I refused."
Zhao Hede naturally didn't care about these things. She just nodded nonchalantly and smiled gently: "Then come on, help me put on my wedding dress."
Lian'er took a deep breath and picked up the clothes from the tray. Her hands were shaking, but when she helped Hede dress, she became calm, which made Yu Kezi, who didn't trust her very much, look at her differently.
This girl is the first one who can remain so calm in front of Zhaoyi's face for the first time.
Zhao Hede glanced at Lian'er's square eyes, but couldn't help laughing out loud. Lian'er's originally steady hands became chaotic, but fortunately there was only one last step left. She quickly fixed it with both hands, stepped aside, lowered her head and never dared to raise it again.
At this time, Yu Kezi also realized that Lian'er was not indifferent to beauty at all. It was obvious that her mind was captured by beauty, and only a body was left, acting on instinct.
The palace maid behind her brought a life-size crystal mirror for Zhao Hede to admire her graceful figure.
She nodded with satisfaction and said to Lian'er, who was still hiding in the back with her head down, "You are very good. You will be the one to dress me on the wedding day."
"yes."
Lian'er suppressed her excitement and answered quickly and loudly.
"You are quite good too, go down and claim your reward."
Zhao Hede was in a good mood, and when she was in a good mood, she loved to give money to others. The few people who had been secretly dissatisfied when only Lian'er stepped forward, now turned their jealousy into joy when they heard her words. Everyone knew that Zhao Zhaoyi was the most generous person. As long as you serve her well, a little bit of her will be enough good things for you to spend in your lifetime.
The palace maids quickly bowed and retreated with elegant and swift steps. Only Lian'er was reluctant to leave. As she left, she was still paying attention to the charming figure in the hall.
"Brush my hair into a bun, and take out the agate peony hairpin that Your Majesty gave me yesterday. It will go perfectly with my bright red outfit."
Lian'er finally left the palace. She listened to the palace maids around her chattering about how lucky they were today. However, she looked at the magnificent palace and hoped that one day she could be like the two palace maids Yu and Fan, and accompany Zhaoyi... no, the Queen every day.
"Such wonderful queens, I really envy them..."
