She used all her strength to salute Qian Yuqing, and that action made people feel distressed... Ye Yuanqing already felt that the palace maid who was beaten was Yiyi.

She is indeed beautiful, no wonder Xiaotian likes her, but... why was she beaten like this... "What happened!" Qian Yuqing asked coldly.

The palace maids looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

However, Yiyi said weakly at this time: "Queen, I didn't do my job well, so I was punished."

The palace maids breathed a sigh of relief. You are smart enough to plead for us, otherwise we would beat you to death! Qian Yuqing was very angry and waved her hand.

Pah, pah, pah!!! Several palace maids felt a pain on their faces and were blown away, falling to the side wailing.

"Get out!" Qian Yuqing shouted coldly.

The maid knelt on the ground, enduring the pain: "Queen, spare my life."

"Get lost!"

The palace maids were delighted, but they didn't expect that Yi Yi actually had the support of the Queen! She was so powerful! It seemed that they had to be more careful in the future!

The palace maids retreated obediently.

Qian Yuqing walked up to Yiyi and helped the poor Yiyi up: "Are you okay?"

"Queen, I'm fine." Yiyi forced out a slight smile.

Qian Yuqing simply rolled up Yiyi's sleeves, revealing the red scars that were shocking!

The same thing happened on her shoulders! Qian Yuqing lifted up Yiyi's clothes, and there were hideous wounds on her fair back, her skin was broken! Qian Yuqing felt that she should have killed those women just now! They were so cruel! Ye Yuanqing stood by and said nothing, but her eyebrows were tightly knitted. She never expected that the girl Xiaotian liked would be abused here!

"Yiyi..." Qian Yuqing felt very sorry and decided to have a good talk with Ye Hua tonight. Yiyi was definitely not a spy. If she hadn't come today, Yiyi might have been beaten to death by these palace maids! "It's really okay." Yiyi forced a gentle smile and put down her clothes.

Qian Yuqing directly waved out a ray of white light, instantly healing Yiyi’s injury: “You’ve suffered.”

Hearing these three words, Yiyi's grievances suddenly emerged. She was not afraid of being beaten or laughed at, but... she was afraid of being cared for. Tears flowed down her delicate cheeks.

Qian Yuqing was also distressed and gently hugged Yiyi: "Okay, don't cry..."

Ye Yuanqing is now a little doubtful. Is such a woman a spy?

Either he is too good at acting and is risking his life to be a spy, or he is being wrongly accused.

But judging from the current situation, it does seem like he's been wronged.

If I hadn't come today, being beaten to death would have been normal. How could she have expected me to come back?

"Yiyi, why don't you go? Don't wait any longer." Qian Yuqing said softly. If you keep waiting like this, you will die.

Yiyi shook her head and whispered, "Queen, I won't leave."

"Why, if you keep going like this, something's going to happen."

"Then I don't want to see the Queen being punished because of my affairs. I am guilty and I deserve the punishment." Yiyi actually didn't want others to be hurt because of her affairs.

If I were to be let go by the Queen, the Emperor would definitely hold me accountable. For me... it's not worth it.

Moreover, I am still waiting for an explanation. Even if I have to wait until the end of time, I will wait for this explanation!

"You silly girl, why do you have to do this?" Qian Yuqing gently stroked Yiyi's hair. Can't you think about yourself?

At this time, Ye Yuanqing, who was standing next to him, asked, "Yiyi, do you really like Xiaotian?"

Yiyi looked up at Ye Yuanqing with a puzzled look.

"I am Ye Juetian's second sister." Ye Yuanqing added.

It turned out to be Ye Ye's second sister, and Yi Yi was immediately frightened.

Maybe it’s because of my eldest brother Ye Hua, I feel that this second sister might not be so easy to talk to.

Qian Yuqing could feel Yiyi's trembling body. It seemed that Yiyi was really afraid of Ye Hua. When she heard that she was Ye Hua's sister, she even thought that she was the same as Ye Hua.

"Yiyi, don't be afraid."

Qian Yuqing's words are still useful. In such a palace, the only person Yiyi can trust is Qian Yuqing.

Even in Yiyi's heart, she didn't know whether she should trust Ye Juetian.

Ye Yuanqing sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say.

It took Yiyi a long time to calm down. Her emotions just fluctuated a lot. After all, Yiyi is also an ordinary person. She is not made of iron and she also has emotions.

"Empress, is Ye Ye going to get married?" Yi Yi asked in a low voice, her disappointment evident.

Qian Yuqing sighed softly: "Yes, it will be soon."

Yiyi bit her lips tightly: "Oh."

"Yiyi, take your time and don't do anything stupid, okay? I'll find a way for you." Qian Yuqing warned, fearing that Yiyi would be unable to get over it, and then everything Xiaotian did would be in vain.

Seeing Yiyi's lifeless look, Qian Yuqing wanted to tell Yiyi that Xiaotian actually got married to save her life...

But Qian Yuqing was afraid that if she told Yiyi about this, Yiyi would have even more horrible thoughts, which would cause even more trouble.

But if I don't tell Yiyi, will I let her be sad forever? It's really a dilemma.

"Empress, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. Please don't go..." Yiyi didn't finish her words, but Qian Yuqing knew what Yiyi wanted to say. It would be difficult for Ye Hua to have room for maneuver in this matter. After all, this matter was related to his mother, which was considered to have touched Ye Hua's reverse scale.

Qian Yuqing straightened Yiyi's clothes, then said coldly towards the woodshed: "If you dare to bully others again, I will kill you without mercy! No one can save you!"

The palace maids heard this and trembled.

Qian Yuqing couldn't stay too long. If Ye Hua heard it, he would definitely say something of his own.

Ye Hua was already in a bad mood.

Walking out of the woodshed, Qian Yuqing asked, "Yuan Qing, do you feel that Yi Yi is a spy?"

"Not like it." Ye Yuanqing shook her head. This was based on a woman's intuition, because all she was looking at was the surface.

"But Ye Hua was determined."

Ye Yuanqing said softly: "After all, Yiyi is the most suspicious, and it is an ironclad fact that the spiritual spring was wasted."

"Yeah, if Yiyi hadn't wasted the spiritual spring, maybe this wouldn't have happened." Qian Yuqing sighed softly, worrying about her mother and Yiyi at the same time. Is there no way to have the best of both worlds? In the woodshed, Yiyi sat on the stone bench next to her, took out the lollipop that Ye Zizi had given her, and put it in her mouth.
