”Empress, Empress!” ”Something terrible has happened...”
Yu Er's sharp and ear-piercing cry was transmitted into Xiao Qing Huan's ears. After which, the door was opened with a 'bang' sound. The wooden door was almost knocked to pieces.
”What is it?”
Yu'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, but seeing that Owner was unconcerned, she simply kneeled down and kowtowed continuously, begging for mercy!
Not long after, his head was covered with red marks as he kept repeating:
”Empress, this servant begs you. Quickly find a place to hide …”
Xiao Qing Huan sighed softly. Her clear and cold voice sounded as good as new, ”Why don't you tell me where I should hide?”
The empress dowager's palace was even worse than a cold palace. The walls were desolate and the water in the lotus pond had long since dried up, releasing a stench that hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
Other than a bed and a cabinet, there was nothing else in the room.
When Yu Er heard this, she reacted and looked around with tears in her eyes.
This slave was rather loyal, but too stupid. She still needed to be taught.
Xiao Qinghuan tied up the bandage on her arm tightly. Ever since she had arrived here due to an accident and inherited the original owner's memories, she had been waiting day after day for this Imperial Concubine Qin to come knocking on her door.
Now that she had finally made it here, not to mention nowhere to hide, even if she could hide, she would absolutely not hide!
Just as he put down the eyebrow pencil, he heard the Palace Mistress announce, ”Imperial Concubine has arrived!”
Yu'er's body froze as she hurriedly got up. She rushed to the door and bowed, ”This servant greets the Empress, Imperial Concubine is thousands of years old!”
”What about your Master who fell into the river before he died?”
Qin Yuyou was wearing a gorgeous red dress with a large peony embroidered with golden threads. The peonies were stacked layer by layer, and they matched well with the pearls of the South Sea. A white fox skin covered her neck, making her beautiful face look even more white and delicate.
With a tap of her red lips, a red mole made of cinnabar appeared between her eyebrows. With her eyes still high up in the air, she walked straight into the room. When she saw Xiao Qing Huan sitting upright, she snorted from her nose, ”Oh? It seems that Elder Sister's injury is not deep. I can actually make out her reflection in the mirror!”
”Ha!” Xiao Qing Huan turned her body and laughed coldly. She looked at Qin Yu You's face and said, ”You still know that I am an elder sister. Since you do, why don't you greet me?”
Her purple dress was already somewhat pale, her hair was jet-black, with a simple half of it folded. The remaining part of her thin back, which was draped with a white pummelo seed, was carelessly tied up. Accompanied by her cold and detached gaze, she seemed like a celestial being looking down on the world with a gaze that did not even get a speck of dust.
He quickly adjusted himself and walked in front of Xiao Qing Huan. He pointed at her nose and scolded, ”You want me to pay my respects to you? Why don't you see what kind of virtue you have and why are you worthy?”
”Sister, it's not up to you to decide if I deserve it or not. If my conduct is lacking, my sister can report it to the emperor and let him cripple my successor.” ”But...” As she spoke, she stood up and swept her gaze over the phoenix hairpin that was on Qin Yuyou's head. She pulled it out with one hand and carefully examined it between her fingers. ”I haven't taken off the phoenix throne in a single day. Little sister, you will always be my concubine.”
”You …”
