Li Xue pursed her lips upon seeing this, but she didn't say anything. She just slowed down her hands a lot so that she could relax a little. She couldn't finish the work even if she was fast.
I don’t know how much time passed before someone patted my shoulder gently. I turned my head subconsciously and looked over, only to meet a pair of lustful eyes.
"Third Princess, I, Xiao Zhuozi, just came to the laundry department. I saw that washing clothes was too hard for you. If you are willing to ask me for help, I can ask your aunt for mercy on your behalf."
"It's just that the princess just needs to serve me a little. I can't do anything to you."
Xiao Zhuozi's real name is Li Defu. He is known as the most shameless person in the village. So what if his penis has been cut off? It's not impossible for a eunuch to have fun.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many concubines. His aunt is in charge of the laundry department. It doesn't matter what he does. The princess might even reward him.
She's just a princess in the cold palace. It's okay to bully her. After all, she's so beautiful. I feel so sorry for her. It really makes me want to...
Li Xue was so disgusted that she could hardly suppress the anger in her heart. She said coldly: "No need, I can do it myself."
Seeing this, Xiao Zhuozi's eyes became more interested, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned around and fetched a lot of clothes and threw them on the ground, saying condescendingly: "Since Your Highness said so, then all these clothes will be washed."
"If you haven't finished washing, don't go to dinner tonight, and forget about sleeping. Go home when you finish your work."
Li Xue lowered her head and continued washing, pretending not to hear.
I washed until dark. Looking at the pile of unwashed clothes, I turned my eyes away and was about to leave with the mallet. A shrill voice came from behind me: "Stop! I said you can't leave until I finish washing."
Li Xue turned around and looked at him, her eyes cold as if she was looking at a dead person. She could not resist the eldest princess, but a mere eunuch had no right to bully her.
Xiao Zhuozi came over and sneered, "Your Highness, why are you leaving? You can't leave until you finish washing your clothes."
"You must embarrass me?"
"Well, look at what your Highness said. I am just a servant. How could I possibly embarrass you? We have no other options. Just bear with it and it will pass."
"Why don't you go to the servant's room, then you can..."
Li Xue's anger grew stronger and stronger. This was a naked humiliation to her. She clenched the hammer in her hand and smashed it directly on the eunuch's head. Her eyes were cold as she looked at the man with a bleeding head.
He hit it on the head again and again until there was no sound at all. At this time, a scream was heard.
She looked up and saw the nanny beside the eldest princess, looking at her with horror: "You, you killed someone."
Li Xue walked over step by step, pulling the corners of her mouth into a smile: "Mammy, that eunuch asked me to go in and serve him. Even if he has lost his penis, he is still considered a man."
"I am a princess after all, and now the fiancée of the young general. A little eunuch is just a servant. It is only natural for me to kill him for humiliating me like this."
He raised the blood-stained mallet in his hand, stared at Mammy fiercely, and grinned, "Mammy, am I right?"
The nanny looked at the blood-stained mallet, not doubting that if she said something wrong, the Third Princess' mallet would hit her on the head. She smiled awkwardly, "Yes, Third Princess...you are right."
"I'm just a servant. Since I've offended the princess, I'll just die."
"It's getting late. Princess Three should go back and rest. You'll be leaving the palace soon to return to the Northern Wilderness with the Young General. Seeing you like this, I'm afraid I'll be worried."
Li Xue's eyes paused, and when she thought of that graceful figure, the anger in her heart dissipated a lot. She hummed and said, "I'm going back. Please, Madam, please bring the meal."
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it right away."
Watching the figure walking away, the nanny looked at the corpse on the ground with a gloomy face: "You useless thing, why don't you come out quickly and throw this body into the mass grave."
Li Xue returned to her small yard and her hands trembled as she looked at the blood on the club. This was her first time killing someone, and it was impossible for her not to be afraid, but she had no other choice.
She couldn't be bullied. If she wanted to leave the palace alive, she had to kill the eunuch, otherwise she would be targeted endlessly in the future.
Soon there was a knock on the door, and a little maid came in, placed the meal on the table, and looked over curiously: "Your Highness, the maid asked me to bring the meal."
"Okay, you look unfamiliar. What's your name?"
Xiao Yuan smiled brightly, and her two dimples were very cute: "I am the new palace maid named Xiao Yuan."
As she spoke, she opened the meal box and looked at the rice that had already gone bad, not to mention the two green vegetables. It didn't look very clean either. Even the palace maids wouldn't eat this.
"Your Highness, this... this meal is a little too much. How about I change it for you? It would be bad if you get an upset stomach."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending, Li Xue thought that she had just entered the palace. If she had come a year or two later, she would definitely not say such kind words. She wanted to take advantage of her misfortune.
"No need, Xiaoyuan. It's useless to go back and change it. Just leave it here and go back to rest early. I can just clean it up and eat it myself."
"But, but this rice is rotten. Even mice wouldn't eat it. If you get sick from it, wouldn't it be even worse..."
Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly when she saw her.
"Xiao Yuan, if I don't eat, I'll just starve to death. I'm going to leave the palace and get married, so I need to stay alive. Don't worry, it's not that easy to get a stomachache."
Li Xue had a smile on her face and spoke softly.
Xiao Yuan said nothing, packed up her things and ran out. After throwing away the rotten food, she sneaked back and took out two white flour buns from her arms.
"Your Highness, please eat this. I took three last night and ate one myself, so I still have two left. You have to wash clothes during the day, and you won't have the energy if you don't eat enough."
“…”
Li Xue looked at the steamed bun in her hand with a complicated look in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she took one and whispered, "Thank you, Xiaoyuan."
After two or three days, Li Xue's relationship with Xiao Yuan became better and better, and she smiled more. She thought that when she left the palace, she would ask her father to take Xiao Yuan with her.
She had a companion on the journey, but when she was about to leave the palace, Xiaoyuan disappeared and she waited for two nights but she still didn't show up.
Feeling a little uneasy, he grabbed Mammy's sleeve before returning to the courtyard and asked, "Where's Xiaoyuan?"
The nanny's eyes flickered, and her tone was full of indifference: "Oh, she is just a little palace maid. I have transferred her away. From now on, Taohua will be the one to deliver meals to His Highness."
"No, you're lying. Where did Madoka go?"
