Zhao Xueqi's chest heaved with anger. In her rebirth, everything seemed different from her previous life. First, the eldest prince who had wronged her had long been demoted to a commoner, leaving her with no chance for revenge.
He later discovered that his mother and his half-brother had been murdered without his knowledge, and by then it was too late!
Her father didn't even stand by her side to support her. He berated her for being a fool, and she was unwilling to accept it!
The culprit behind all this was that wretched half-sister—Zhao Xueqing!
Oh, right!
Zhao Xueqing!
That wretched child!
Zhao Xueqi suddenly stood up; how could she have forgotten about that one thing!
Zhao Xueqi's cheeks flushed with excitement. The only obstacle to her becoming empress was that woman who was hidden away. As long as she was eliminated, as long as she was eliminated!
A voice seemed to be constantly tempting her: kill that woman, and Zhou Changling will be hers! She will have a chance to become empress!
Yes, wasn't the purpose of my rebirth to become the empress? Otherwise, what would be the point of my rebirth?
Zhao Xueqi didn't realize that her eyes were bloodshot, as if she were blinded by something, or perhaps her mind was bewitched. Her mind was filled with resentment and anger, and she was restless and anxious, like a walking corpse in the apocalypse, with only killing and violence on her mind.
At this moment, Xiaoyuan hurriedly led Xiaocui towards Zhaohua Palace, and the two were talking quietly.
Xiao Yuan: "Sister Xiao Cui, Her Majesty is furious. Be careful later."
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Cui usually got along well. Moreover, she knew that Xiao Cui disliked her master. Anyone who was beaten or scolded every day would develop feelings for the person who beat or scolded them. No matter how loyal they were, they would develop resentment in their hearts.
Xiao Cui was very grateful for Xiao Yuan's reminder, because she really couldn't figure out what her master was thinking. As a servant, not being able to understand one's master's thoughts always resulted in punishment.
Xiao Cui was also afraid of the young lady now, fearing that if she offended her again, she would inevitably be beaten and scolded.
Xiao Cui: "Thank you, Xiao Yuan."
Xiao Cui: "Did Master suffer some mistreatment at Ganling Palace?"
Xiao Cui always wanted to know exactly where her master had suffered a setback so she could offer some advice; otherwise, going there would be pointless. She asked Xiao Yuan hoping she would tell her the truth.
Xiao Yuan didn't disappoint her: "Sister Xiao Cui guessed right. The Empress went to Ganling Palace, but she made a huge scene and was severely scolded by the Emperor. He said something about whether to keep her or not, but Xiao Yuan didn't understand."
Xiao Yuan said whatever she could, hoping that Xiao Cui could persuade the Empress to leave the palace so that some palace servants could be released.
My main task is to help Eunuch Li Mu keep an eye on the Empress. If the Empress leaves the palace on her own, I can ask Eunuch Li Mu to take her home to care for my mother.
Xiao Cui thought to herself, "Where should I stay? Could it be in the palace? Yes, the Empress is determined to stay in the palace and become the Empress."
However, the emperor has been reluctant to make the empress, which shows that he has no intention of keeping the empress in the palace and wants to drive her out of the palace.
Xiao Cui suddenly realized that everything made sense now. She should persuade the Empress to leave the palace, as staying there would only lead to her death. With that thought, Xiao Cui hurried into the palace.
Xiao Cui: "Your Majesty—"
Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Xueqi's mind cleared for a moment, but then she reverted to her old ways, angrily retorting, "Xiao Cui, is this how I taught you manners?!"
Xiao Cui felt as if she had been doused with cold water. Her enthusiasm and loyalty to the Empress had been extinguished like a flame, and a chill ran through her heart.
