”Mammy, what's the matter?” Beiming Ting is also confused.
Mammy Liu stares at Jiujiu and cries out, ”This girl murders Princess Changle. I should catch her to see the Empress immediately!”
Murdering Princess Changle? Beiming Ting is more confused. Although Princess Changle was very angry just now, she was clearly healthy. How could she be murdered at this moment?
Jiujiu grinds her teeth. She even doesn’t have a chance to go back and rest for a while. These people are really mean.
She throws aside the palace maids who intend to pull her arm. ”If that’s why you catch me to go back, I'll go myself!”
The maids are thrown away by her. Mammy Liu wants to come forward, but she is stared angrily by Jiujiu, which gives her a sinking sensation and she just stands there motionless. Then Jiujiu ignores anybody and turns back.
If Jiujiu were to go back with such a swagger, would it be too disgraceful? So Mammy Liu hurriedly leads people to catch up with her.
Beiming Ting frowns, hesitates for a while, and then he walks back to Fengyi Palace. To save face, Mammy Liu wants to catch up with Jiujiu, and put her in the Fengyi Palace. But she doesn't expect that Jiujiu goes so fast. When she finally gets into the palace, she hears a loud reprimand,” kneel down!”
Mammy Liu is so frightened that her feet are soft that she throws herself down on her knees and begs for mercy, ” Your majesty, please forgive me!”
Empress Xiao is staring at Jiujiu. Now she’s startled by Mammy Liu. She turns to her and finds that Mammy Liu is so scared and pale that she cannot stop begging to her. The Empress frowns.
”What is Mammy doing?”
Mammy Liu is doing the motion of kowtow so hard that her head turns red. Hearing this, she looks up at the displeasure of Empress, and she feels confused.
”Pooh!” Jiujiu cannot help laughing.
Empress Xiao wants to give her a punishment, but unfortunately it isn’t she who receives her prestige.
Then Mammy Liu realizes that the Empress Xiao's asking of kneeling is not for her, nor is the anger. But now it is obvious that the Empress is really angry with her.
It is all owing to Jiujiu, but it is a pity that Jiujiu does not pay any attention to Mammy Liu. She walks forward and looks at Princess Changle lying on the ground at this moment, unconsciously.
”What's wrong with the princess?”
“How dare you! You poisoned the princess, but now pretend to be silly!” The Empress Xiao is very annoyed that Mammy Liu has spoiled her affair just now. Her anger is burning again, but she feels she’s underprivileged. Because Jiujiu doesn’t fear anything.
Jiujiu moves her eyebrows, looks at Princess Changle and shakes her head gently.
”The princess did not seem to be poisoned lightly, and her face was a little rosier than before.”
”What are you talking about?” Empress Xiao is stunned and checks Princess Changle. Her eyes sink. The princess does not pretend to be dizzy. She looks even better. It doesn’t look like being poisoned.
Jiujiu realizes her intention. She gently moves her mouth. Princess Changle pretends to be poisoned, but the injuries on her legs are so real.
When she glares, there is a chair next to her. She goes straight to sit down.
“What are you doing? Our royal Empress does not make her order. How dare you sit there!” Mammy Liu, who has been trembling all the time, thinks she can regain her face, so she rushes in a few steps, and then points to Jiujiu's nose. Suddenly, with a crying of ”Ouch”, she rolls down to the ground.
“Well, be careful, Mammy Liu, or you will not have the chance to serve your royal Empress, which would be a pity.”
Jiujiu smiles ”kindly”, but Mammy Liu feels something chilly.
