Chapter 491. Granny A-Yun is from the Lin family. She's Lin Luoxi's person.
"Consort Liu, how dare you!" Upon hearing that Liu Yanyan had gone to cause trouble for Lin Xingman, Xiao Jingchen rushed to Fengluan Palace.
From the moment Xiao Jingchen entered, Lin Xingman's tears of grievance flowed uncontrollably.
The beautiful woman shed tears, her face streaked with tears, which Xiao Jingchen saw as soon as he walked in, and he felt a pang of heartache.
If he hadn't known that Liu Yanyan was currently immobile, he would have dragged her out and torn her to pieces.
He saw Liu Yanyan instigating her maid to beat up Granny Ayun, which scared him so much that he rushed over and slapped Liu Yanyan.
Just kidding. When he brought Lin Xingman back, Lin Luoxi gave him countless instructions not to let Lin Xingman and Granny Ayun suffer any grievances.
He had barely agreed when this stupid woman came looking for trouble. She deserves to die.
"Brother Chen, it was this old woman who talked back to me, that's why I..." Liu Yanyan cried out in grievance after being hit, the villain accusing the other way around.
"Your Majesty, Consort Liu disregarded your warnings and immediately said things that angered the Empress upon entering. This old servant could no longer bear to listen and thus interrupted..."
"Her Majesty the Empress is still in her postpartum confinement period and cannot withstand any stimulation. She needs to rest quietly." Granny A-Yun was no pushover; if Consort Liu would complain, so would she.
“Granny A-Yun, you did the right thing. The Empress really can’t be upset…” Xiao Jingchen agreed with Granny A-Yun’s approach, his eyes shooting like knives at Liu Yanyan.
Kneel down!
"emperor!"
Liu Yanyan never expected that she came to cause trouble for the Empress, but instead, she delivered herself to Lin Xingman, that vile woman, for a chance to mock her.
Kneel down!
Seeing that Liu Yanyan was still throwing a tantrum and refusing to kneel down, Xiao Jingchen reprimanded her again.
"yes!"
Liu Yanyan secretly glared resentfully at Lin Xingman and Granny Ayun out of the corner of her eye, and then knelt down unwillingly.
"My Empress is the head of the six palaces. If you again show such disrespect, you will be banished to the Cold Palace..."
"Granny A-Yun is Princess Changping's nanny, even I treat her with respect. Where did you get the audacity to lay a hand on Granny A-Yun..."
“You palace maid dared to hit even the Empress’s people! Drag her out and beat her to death.”
Seeing Lin Xingman turn away looking aggrieved, he panicked. Even if he couldn't touch Liu Yanyan, he would target the palace maids beside her.
"Your Majesty!" Lin Xingman turned her head at the right moment, interrupting Xiao Jingchen.
"She's just following orders from her master, why take it out on her? I'm still in my postpartum period, it's not a good time for me to have any bleeding..."
Although she wished she could kill everyone around Liu Yanyan, she figured she might as well spare the life of this palace maid for now, since she might still be useful.
"Did you hear me? Get out!"
Looking at the kind-hearted Lin Xingman, and seeing the tears on her eyelashes and her meek and submissive appearance, Xiao Jingchen felt even more sorry for her, and his attitude towards Liu Yanyan and the others became even more unfriendly.
When he first met Lin Xingman, she radiated a dazzling light. She was never like she is now, timid, cautious, and meek.
He glanced at the baby in the swaddling clothes and understood.
"Xingman, I'm so sorry you've suffered. Once I find out who's behind Liu Yanyan and deal with her, I'll make sure she never hurts you again..."
Xiao Jingchen realized that he had neglected Lin Xingman during this period and sincerely apologized to her.
Lin Xingman, who had her eyes lowered, frowned slightly upon hearing Xiao Jingchen's words.
Could it be that Liu Yanyan has someone behind her that even Xiao Jingchen doesn't dare to act rashly, or is it just an excuse Xiao Jingchen uses to appease her?
Regardless, she will definitely investigate thoroughly.
After she had coaxed Xiao Jingchen away, and only she and Granny A-Yun remained in the palace, she asked:
"Granny A-Yun, do you think I'll be trapped in this palace for the rest of my life?"
After visiting Wutong Village, I realized how incredibly blue and vast the sky was, and how free it felt.
"Your Majesty, why do you have such thoughts?"
“The palace walls are high, but if you become powerful, these walls will not become your stumbling blocks…” As Granny A-Yun said this, she thought of her young mistress, Lin Luoxi.
No matter what kind of adversity Lin Luoxi is in, she can always give it her all and turn things around.
Even if Lin Luoxi were trapped here, she wouldn't ask such useless questions. Instead, she would find a new way to survive. Even if she couldn't get out of here for the time being, she wouldn't let those nobodies bully her.
Those concubines would never dare to flaunt their power in front of her, because they simply don't have the opportunity…
"Yes, Granny is right. No matter where we are, we must become strong." Lin Xingman also thought of Lin Luoxi and secretly cheered herself up.
Seeing that Lin Xingman had finally understood, Granny Yun nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that she was one step closer to returning to see the young lady.
This palace is no place for humans. So many women are fighting over one man; it's truly pathetic and pitiful.
Their young lady is much better; what's the point of the empress position? It's better to be your own strong support.
Lying on the bed, Lin Xingman had no idea that Aunt Yun was thinking about Lin Luoxi all the time.
Moreover, compared to Lin Luoxi, she couldn't even compare to a single strand of Lin Luoxi's hair.
At this moment, Lin Xingman's mind was filled with plans for revenge; she could no longer sit idly by and wait for her doom.
"Damn bitch, damn bitch, why didn't she die outside..." Back in her palace, Liu Yanyan flew into a rage and threw all the decorative bottles and teacups on the ground, smashing them to pieces.
When Yu Ping, who was standing next to her, saw the crazed Liu Yanyan, whose face was so ferocious that she trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
The shards of the bottles that Liu Yanyan smashed cut her cheek, but she didn't dare to cry out.
The Empress is gentle and virtuous, unlike Consort Liu, who is two-faced and will be dismissed if she is mistreated by the Empress.
"You damned slut, when did you hook up with that bitch? She actually pleaded for you."
After smashing everything in the palace, they turned their attention to Yu Ping.
"Your Majesty, please understand, I am one of your people, and I do not know the Empress..." Yu Ping was terrified when she saw Liu Yanyan looking at her with murderous eyes, and she immediately pledged her loyalty.
"If you don't know her, why would she plead for you?" Liu Yanyan didn't believe Yu Ping's words and picked up the whip to lash Yu Ping hard.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life..." The pain in her back made Yu Ping lower her posture even further, repeatedly begging Liu Yanyan for mercy.
But in Liu Yanyan's twisted mind, the more Yuping begged for mercy, the more pleased she felt, and the faster she swung the whip.
Before long, Yu Ping's back was bruised and battered, and she fainted.
