Chapter 2: Don’t ask me who peace is
”Your Majesty has grown up at the Grand Preceptor's estate since childhood and isn't familiar with the palace If anyone lets His Majesty buain, neither the servants by his side nor the rest of you here will be forgiven!”
”Your servants know our wrongs, your servants ask for Erace to spare our lives!”
The conversation by her earsXiaoyao's eyes fly open There seerasp from the information, so she turned toward the direction of the voices Sitting in front of her bed was a wo apparel Despite the sober dress, her hair was decorated with pearl and jade orna, and asked with concern, ”Your Majesty's awakened?”
Ning Xiaoyao looked at the person before her and felt thunderstruck and zombie-bitten at the sahter? This face, this figure, and that voice–there was noXiaoyao was certain that this was that callous, cruel nawed on by zombies
In the eer's eyes, she only looked like she wanted to cry, timid and illed as always Looks like father raised this daughter into a good-for-nothing Eer Xie hid her scorn deep in her heart If they had raised a bold, disobedient child, the monstrous lie they'd spread around would turn into their ill fortune
”Your Majesty, does your head still hurt now?” Eentle and sweet-tempered
Ning Xiaoyao jumped off the bed and ran barefoot to a bronze mirror inside the room When she saw her reflection, she clutched her head in her hands Why did she have to face such a tragic fate?! Right now, her face was identical to that of the figure in dragon robes who'd been unluckily poisoned by her mother!
Eirl as still concerned with her looks She rose and walked behind Ning Xiaoyao ”Your Majesty, if it still hurts, why don't we have the imperial physicians take a look? You hit yourself rather hard, but the skin wasn't broken It won't leave any scars”
”No need,” Ning Xiaoyao said as she cradled her head ”I need some peace and quiet, don't ask me who peace is”
”Your Majesty?” E Xiaoyao's shoulder nobody on the side could understand the emperor's words Had he knocked himself silly?
