"Yes! I, the daughter of a guilty minister, have gone to great lengths to avenge my family, even disguising myself to sneak into the palace! But Murong Che, don't be complacent. Even if I don't kill you, I won't let you go after I turn into a ghost! Just wait, I'll definitely come back to claim your life!"

After Ning finished speaking, she bit her back teeth hard.

The poison hidden between her teeth was bitten, and soon a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of her lips.

Ning slowly raised her head and looked at the skylight behind Murong Che. Light was shining in from the skylight.

But she was too far away from the light and was destined to be buried in darkness forever.

No one knew that on the night the Ning family was massacred, she was saved from death because she squatted in the toilet for half an hour due to a stomachache.

From that night on, she lost her home and family and became an orphan fleeing everywhere.

She had eaten other people's unwanted leftovers, slop, and even snatched food from stray dogs.

She thought she would be like mud, staying in the quagmire and living her whole life in a daze.

It was Murong Ye who saved her and brought her light and hope.

He asked someone to teach her martial arts so that he could send her to the palace.

She knew that he was not seeking revenge for her, but was using her desire for revenge as a pawn.

She knew his plan very well, but she was willing to join the game and become a chess piece.

But she couldn't help him get what he wanted, nor could she avenge her family.

She will always remember the day when she first met Murong Ye. She was nearly insulted by several beggars in a dilapidated temple. It was Murong Ye who descended from the sky and saved her from the dire straits.

At that time, the handsome young man swung his sword to kill the beggar, took off his blood-stained cloak and covered her with it. She would never forget that scene.

She was trembling, and he picked her up and lifted her onto the horse.

Their meeting was not beautiful, but it was unforgettable.

How wonderful it would be if time could stop forever at the moment when he carried her onto the horse!

Ning recalled every detail of the past, and the moment she closed her eyes, a tear rolled down her cheek.

Murong Che saw her bite the poison sac between her teeth and wanted to rush forward to stop her, but he was still a step too late.

Ning was no longer alive.

?

After Xue Qingyao finished talking with Murong Ye, she also had new plans for the future.

What’s the point of fighting with Xue Youli?

Since she couldn't win over Murong Che, what she had to do now was to win the heart of Queen Mother Yin as soon as possible.

In the future, when Queen Mother Yin obeys her every word, wouldn't it be just a matter of a word from Queen Mother Yin to kill Xue Youli?

However, before Xue Qingyao reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw from a distance that Nanny Li was smiling happily as she sent Xue Youli out.

"Lady Xue, today is truly thanks to you. I haven't seen the Queen Mother smile so happily in a long time."

Xue Youli had just developed a treatment plan for Empress Dowager Yin and gave her acupuncture treatment on the spot.

After the acupuncture, Empress Dowager Yin felt much more relaxed. Not only did she reward Xue Youli with a set of jewelry made of Hainan's finest pearls, she also asked Nanny Li to personally see her off.

Xue Youli smiled slightly, "Madame Li, please stay. I can go back by myself."

"Yes, Ma'am Li, you go and accompany the Empress Dowager. I'll see Concubine Xue off!" Chu Xinyue squeezed out of the yard, waved to Ma'am Li, and pulled Xue Youli away.

Because Xue Qingyao failed to catch all the people who eavesdropped on her and Murong Ye's affair last night, she pretended to be sick and did not leave the yard early this morning, and missed the big show at the Queen Mother's place.

At this moment, she looked at the backs of Chu Xinyue and Xue Youli walking away hand in hand, her heart full of doubts.

Every time these two people meet, they look like they want to kill each other. When did their relationship become so good?

So unusual!

However, she had more important things to do and had no time to dwell on what had happened between them.

Xue Qingyao looked away, and seeing that Nanny Li had sent Xue Youli away and was about to close the gate, she rushed over, "Nanny Li, wait a moment! Please tell them, I need to see the Queen Mother!"

Nanny Li glanced at her and snorted, "Lady Xue, the Empress Dowager is resting and won't see any guests!"

"Eh!"

Seeing that she wouldn't let her in, Xue Qingyao held the door open with her hand, "Madame Li, I have something very important to discuss with the Queen Mother! Please let me in!"

As she spoke, she stuffed the change she had prepared in advance into Li Ma's hand.

Nanny Li lowered her head, looking at the silver coins in her hand, which were smaller than a fingernail. She rolled her eyes and threw the coins to Xue Qingyao in disdain. "Lady Xue, please go back no matter what you want. The Queen Mother doesn't want to see anyone today!"

Her action of throwing the silver was so sudden that Xue Qingyao didn't react and the silver coins were thrown directly to the ground.

Xue Qingyao didn't even bother to pick it up. She hurriedly tugged at Nanny Li's sleeve and said, "Nanny Li, I heard that the Empress Dowager's headache has recurred. Remembering that my mother also had a headache, I learned a set of massage techniques from a doctor. It's very effective for headaches. Please let me in. I can help relieve the Empress Dowager's headache!"

After hearing this, Nanny Li rolled her eyes even wider. "What? Concubine Xue has no other excuse? She actually copied Concubine Xue's story? To be honest, the Empress Dowager's headache is already completely healed. Concubine Xue cured it! So, there's no need to bother Concubine Xue!"

After saying that, she pushed Xue Qingyao out with all her might, then slammed the gate shut. "What the hell, you're trying to bribe me with a small amount of silver the size of an eye booger? Are you treating me like a beggar?"

After grumbling, Nanny Li still felt unsatisfied, and went back to her room to rest, cursing all the way.

Outside the courtyard gate, Xue Qingyao almost had her nose broken by the gate.

Through the door, she heard what Li Ma said and her face turned ashen with anger.

Doesn't she want to give more money?

She was often fined for her salary in the harem, and the little money she had on her was spent on maintaining relationships.

All the other concubines in the harem received financial support from their parents, but she did not.

She was short of money now, so she was stingy and gave Li Ma a small piece of silver.

As a result, Nanny Li didn't like the bribe at all and threw it back to her intact.

It is also said that Xue Youli has helped the Queen Mother cure her headache?

Xue Youli! Xue Youli! It's Xue Youli again!

Why does this woman always go against her?

Xue Qingyao had originally planned to spare Xue Youli for the time being, but she didn't expect Xue Youli to seek death.

OK!

Then I will fulfill her wish!

Murong Ye and Murong Nan have already made an appointment to go fishing in the back mountain. This will be a great opportunity!

She thought about it and turned to leave.

But after walking a few steps, he turned back and picked up the silver coins on the ground.

She held the silver coins in her hand and gritted her teeth.

Nanny Li is such a servile slave who looks down on others. When she becomes the queen, she will be the first one to be killed!
