The Queen Mother didn't speak, she closed her eyes as if she didn't hear anything, but her brows furrowed deeper.
Lin Xueyao knelt down in front of the couch and said: "Xue Yao did this. Xue Yao is responsible for her own work. Please don't embarrass others. Xue Yao is willing to accept any punishment..."
‘Pah——’
The crisp sound of slaps slowly spread out like ripples in the silent hall.
The burning pain in her cheek made Lin Xueyao's mind suddenly go blank. She covered her gradually swollen cheek and looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, her eyes full of astonishment.
The Queen Mother looked at her coldly, "Why are you so surprised? You have never been beaten before? Do you think the Ai family really doesn't dare to do anything to you? So you act unscrupulously, go against the Ai family, and want to kill you
Aijia, right?"
Lin Xueyao was awakened by her roar and shook her head quickly, "No...it's not...I just..."
"Just what? Do you think that you are still the daughter of the prime minister's house now, and there is a left prime minister who is more powerful than one person and is protecting you and letting you do whatever you want? Do you think you can still act unscrupulously without worrying about the consequences?"
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said
"Child, wake up and think about why you can still survive. If Ai Jia and Che'er hadn't risked their lives and begged the emperor, do you think you could still be alive today?"
"Your Majesty...Xue Yao was wrong, Your Majesty forgives Xueyao..." Lin Xueyao cried.
"Excuse me? Do you know that something went a little wrong today, and Ruofang, the noble lady, has her own shortcomings? Not only will you not be able to escape, but the Ai family and Che'er will also be dragged into the water by you!!" the Queen Mother angrily scolded.
"Mother, Xue Yao knows that she is wrong. Xue Yao just hates them so much..." Lin Xueyao cried, her voice trembling slightly.
"So what?" The Queen Mother said coldly: "Are you the only one who hates me? Lin Xueyao, listen to the Ai family. You are just a dog of the Ai family now. The Ai family is willing to help you take revenge. You should be happy.
Instead of relying on the favor of the Ai family and doing whatever you want, from now on, if you dare to disobey the Ai family in the slightest, the Ai family will definitely kill you!"
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Lin Xueyao suddenly stopped crying.
She looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment and at the cold and ferocious woman in front of her.
Dog? It turns out...she is just one of her dogs?!
"Get lost!" the Queen Mother looked at her and said coldly
"Yes, Xueyao resigned." Tears dried up, Lin Xueyao nodded slightly, stood up and left.
…
It was late at night, the moon was missing, and the dim moonlight shone on the ground, casting a cold silver glow.
That day, she was supposed to die with her father, but they begged and begged to spare her life. On that day, she secretly made up her mind to repay her life-saving grace in the future.
She followed her into the palace, served around her, and obeyed her orders. Unexpectedly, she was just a pawn in her hands. She was no different from Concubine Wan. When there was no use value anymore, she was no better than a pig or a dog.
Ha, is it worse than a pig or a dog? She is just her dog anyway.
Thinking of this, Lin Xueyao couldn't help but stop. There was a dead silence in the palace. Every night, the huge palace became more mysterious and cold, and such coldness always had a gloomy feeling.
Who knows how many ghosts and ghosts there are in this deep palace?
Looking up, the three characters "Chu Xiu Palace" actually looked out of place in the cold and silent night under the moonlight. It looked a bit soft, and it was actually the only place she could go in this palace now.
