The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Fei Wan really didn't understand why Yu Tingjin could make such a stupid threat in such a closed room and when he was so outnumbered.

Since she dared to let Xiaohui in, she was not afraid of Xiaohui seeing everything.

She was shocked at Yu Tingjin's stupidity.

Xiaohui, who followed her into the room, was shocked by how miserable Concubine Zhaoyi looked.

……what happened!

Isn't the young lady explaining the misunderstanding to Empress Zhaoyi?

Why is Empress Zhaoyi so pale, disheveled, with messy hair and slap marks on her face? She is huddled in a corner like an old dog that has lost its home, and her voice sounds like a broken bellows?

and……

And why would the weak and pitiful Princess Zhao suddenly... say that Empress Zhaoyi is stupid?

Did she hear it wrong?

"Young Master?"

Xiaohui looked at Feiwan blankly.

Fei Wan took her hand affectionately and led her towards Yu Tingjin.

"Come, I'm beating her to vent my anger, Xiaohui, you can beat her too."

Xiaohui was stunned like a wooden sculpture.

It looks more like wood than the wood carvings you carve yourself.

"Xiao Hui, don't be afraid. I will teach you a lesson today.

These so-called masters are just like us, with two eyes and a mouth, nothing special.

They can beat us, and we can beat them.

Moreover, we work all year round, so we are stronger than them and it hurts more when we are hit.

If you don’t believe me, try it and see if it hurts her.”

Yu Tingjin was shocked: How dare this slave girl teach another slave girl to beat her master!

Xiaohui was even more surprised: If I encounter such a thing, how can I still survive?

But before she could react, Fei Wan had already grabbed her hand and slapped it directly on Yu Tingjin's face.

"Oh...you dare...you..."

Yu Tingjin shouted hoarsely in anger, but his voice was weak because of the damage to his throat.

Fei Wan said, "Xiao Hui, do you remember how you entered the Xinzheku?"

"..."

How did you get into Xinzheku?

Xiaohui was so shocked, nervous and frightened that she couldn't utter a word.

However, thanks to Fei Wan's guidance and encouragement from her gentle gaze, he slowly recalled the reason why he entered the Xinzheku.

She was originally a maid in Jinxiu Pavilion.

He is young and timid, and only knows how to obey and work.

Even when bullied, he dared not say a word.

Once, she accidentally broke the housekeeper's favorite vase, and was severely punished by the housekeeper. From then on, she became the target of bullying by everyone.

They do the dirtiest and most tiring work, eat other people's leftovers, wear other people's old clothes, and are exhausted after a hard day's work. At night, they are ordered to take over other people's night shifts.

The maids and eunuchs above her beat and scolded her, and the palace maids and eunuchs of the same rank bullied her and teased her for fun.

Push her into the lake in winter.

In the summer, she was asked to go out and run errands under the scorching sun.

Sweeping fallen leaves in the strong wind.

Kneeling on the ground in the heavy snow, I wiped the stone tiles in the yard.

Later, a new lady from the palace moved into Jinxiu Pavilion.

She was later known as Concubine Chun.

At that time, the empress was just a talented woman, pretty and lively. She seemed to be very kind to others and often gave gifts to everyone.

Once, he praised her for sweeping the yard cleanly and gave her a piece of cake as a reward.

She thought that someone was finally able to lead Jinxiu Pavilion.

You can also be bullied less.

However, she didn't expect that the first beating she received after entering the palace was given by Concubine Chun.

That night, she was asked to take over the night shift.

It was a very windy night and one of the lanterns under the eaves was blown off and hit the window, igniting the window paper.

She discovered it in time and shouted to warn the police.

In order to protect the master in the house, she rushed forward and slapped the flames with her hands, trying to put out the fire.

Fortunately, the fire was put out without any danger, burning only half of the window. Her hands and arms were severely burned, but she was relieved that she had successfully prevented the danger.

"Who is on night duty?" Chun Cairen was angry.

"Your Majesty, it's her. She has always been rash and always gets into trouble." In order to avoid being blamed, the palace maid who was replaced on night duty jumped out to accuse her.

"You almost burned me to death. Take me away and punish me according to the palace rules!" Chun Cairen didn't listen to any explanation and gave the order directly.

She was gagged and dragged away, and given thirty strokes of the cane.

The cane was so thick that she fainted after just a few strokes.

After the torture, she had a high fever that wouldn't go away and was on the verge of death, so she was sent to a nursing home to wait for death.

Miraculously, he survived and recovered from his injuries. Two months later, he limped back to Jinxiu Pavilion, where he still did the hardest and most tiring work and was bullied even more miserably.

Later, Chun Cairen was promoted step by step and became a concubine.

But she suddenly lost her fertility.

When Concubine Chun learned that she could no longer bear children, she was heartbroken.

After discovering that one of the koi fish kept in the celadon jar in the courtyard had died, Concubine Chun took her anger out on Concubine Chun, saying that she was sweeping the floor nearby and made too much noise, scaring the koi fish to death. So she had her thrown into the Xinzheku.

No... She really didn't sweep loudly. She worked quietly for fear of being scolded...

But who listened to her explanation?

The master is sad and distressed, and takes her anger out on a servant, which can only be considered bad luck for the servant.

The days of Xinzheku will only get worse.

She was punished by being sent to the Xinzheku by the favored concubine, and suffered even more exclusion and bullying.

Since entering the palace, Xiaohui never dared to think about what she experienced yesterday.

Because every yesterday was a painful day.

She could only count the days, looking forward to the time when she would be old enough to be released from the palace.

But she was only fourteen!

There are still more than ten years to go before reaching the age!

She didn't know if she could live to see that day...

Just like now, she was suddenly involved in the dispute between Concubine Zhao and Concubine Chun Zhaoyi...

He even took a photo of Empress Zhaoyi's face without knowing what was going on.

She just wanted to cry.

I feel like I'm not going to survive.

"Xiao Hui, there's a saying in history books: If we die now, we will die; if we make a great plan, we will die too. If we wait for death, is it okay for us to die with our country?"

Princess Zhao's gentle voice sounded again.

With bewitching magic.

"If you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."

"What this means is that if you commit a capital crime, you're going to be executed anyway, and there's no escaping it. So you might as well steel yourself, show your sword to those who want to kill you, and die a heroic death."

what?

Xiaohui looked at Feiwan in confusion.

My mind goes blank.

But miraculously, without even understanding why, he raised his hand.

Snapped!

Gently patted Yu Tingjin's face.

After taking the photo, she was stunned.

He looked at his palms and clapped his hands a second time.

Then the third, the fourth...

She suddenly felt that the snapping sound was very pleasant.

So I tried harder and harder.

Tears began to flow without me noticing.

There's no escape...

I'm going to die anyway...

She suddenly understood that this was what she wanted to say but didn't dare to say to herself during the countless sleepless nights.

You're going to die anyway!

Why continue to suffer?

Was I born to be beaten, scolded and bullied?

She was sold to a eunuch who collected palace maids during the famine in order to get food and survive, not to be tortured every day and slowly wear herself out!

"Why are you bullying me? Why don't you listen to my explanation? I didn't sweep the floor loudly at all. No, that koi died from eating too much fish food. Why don't you listen to my explanation? I clearly put out the fire and saved you. Why are you still bullying me? Why does everyone bully me? What did I do wrong?"

Xiaohui hit her hard.

Cry sadly.

Tell it vently.

Yu Tingjin was stepped on by Fei Wan and his throat was strangled again.

I can't hide away, and I can't scream out.

He could only endure the humiliation of being slapped by the slave girl, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Fei Wan looked at her calmly.

"Empress Zhaoyi, are you surprised? Are you happy? Are you happy?"

"I know what you're thinking."

"You wanted to kill her."
