Queen Ju was absent- at theShe had finally becodom, but she was not happy at all
Behind her, several court hostsOrto be busy — there was not much work for the beds, sprinkling a little incense and tidying upShe used to only have one maid to do this work, and she had done it easily alone
But as the guardian of the Dragon King's Queen and the King of the Stone Nation, she was now entitled to these luxuriesBesides, there were many maids in the palace, and they needed to be kept busy
Being a nored her before noed before her in fearMany people praised her in public, saying she had always been a special girl, as if they were the Queen's old acquaintancesThey hoped she would hear these nice words and be pleasedIn truth, though, they had onlyeverything she had fought so hard for
She tuned and looked at thehave you been in the palace?”
She didn't mention her name because she could not re on their work, but they intuitively kneho the Queen was talking to
The old maid stopped her work at onceShe bowed respectfully and replied, ”Twenty one years, Your Highness”
”Twenty one yearsThat's older than eSo, you must have known all the hness, the palace has always belonged to the Royal Faed,” the maid answered very carefully, for she could not fatho her this
”I'm different from my brotherSave these sweet lies for your next masterI want to hear the truth,” the Queen dean to work even harderOne was h the quilt cover had been tidied as s it with her hands, as if trying to ease out every wrinkle
The old hnessI'll tell you the truthIn the past twenty one yearsincluding you, there have been five masters total”
Five e duration for each master was only a little more than four years”Wow, eAnd I have just started,” she thought to herself
”Who have been the real s who eventually lost their power, or thetheir time in this place?” she wondered
Queen Ju cah the , and stared at the darkness in silenceThe oldbehind her
Xu Yaninked at the old o back to her work
The old maid was relievedEveryone knew that Xu Yanas not just an ordinary uardian, and Xu Yanas like the Queen's guardian
However, Xu Yanwei did not like her position very muchShe'd rather just be an ordinaryto leave the palace and live freely on the streets, but she had to stay beside the Queen and live a life with endless speculations
The Queen trusted her, relied on her, but was also wary of herSince Xu Yanas sent to her by the Dragon King, the Queen was afraid that she would tell the Dragon King and the Queen's brother everything
”Your Highness, it's getting latePlease take a restIt's as dark as black paint outsideThere is nothing to see,” said Xu Yanwei, as if she was the Queen's mother or older sisterTruthfully, Xu Yanas not a caring personIn the past, she had pretended to look pathetic to attract men's attention and desire
”Well, ihty as a childBut she sat for a while longer, before getting up slowlyA auze curtain and then re to close the , Queen Ju said, ”Leave it openIt's a little hot”
”You will catch a cold at nightBetter shut it,” Xu Yanwei saidOnly she dared to disobey the Queen, but only ”slightly disobey”
”No, leave it openI'll call you when it's cold,” the Queen insisted, still acting like a spoiled child
Xu Yanwei sighed silently, walked over and closedonly a small part openThen, she led the maids out
Queen Ju could not fall asleepShe laid on the bed with her eyes open, listening to the nighttiShe was annoyed and thought, ”If I gave an order, crowds of maids and eunuchs would rush out with candles in their hands to catch the insects” Maybe when she got complete power, she would do thatBut for now she only listened to the chirping until she heard the voice she aiting for
”What can I do for you?” the voice asked
The voice was cold and rudeThe speaker obviously did not regard her as a hts suddenly snapped back to reality fro with this woo to Norland?” the Queen asked
