Ran Mei? Hearing this name, Huai Jin remembered that Cui Xiang had said it before that because Ran Mei's body was not feeling good, she had come to take care of him. Then, this Ran Mei in front of him would truly be her personal palace maid.

”You've recovered?” Huai Jin asked.

However, Ran Mei didn't really think that Huai Jin was kind to him, or that she wouldn't be able to force herself to stand up just yet. She thought for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed to Huai Jin, and said: ”If Cui Xiang has done anything wrong, princess, you only need to bring him down for a small meal, it doesn't need the princess to personally do it.” Ran Mei saw that Huai Jin did not say anything, and continued, ”A few days ago, the empress dowager's Ying Hua had committed a mistake, and because the princess' punishment was a little heavier, they went there at night. Although the empress dowager dotes on the princess, it is unavoidable that the empress dowager's heart was filled with grievances.

”Then how many boards should I punish Cui Xiang on?”

Once he said that, Ran Mei understood and replied: ”Fifty.”

Cui Xiang who was at the side thought that she could finally protect her life, but after hearing Ran Mei's words, she finally understood that she would not be able to leave Yongan Palace, but the person in front of her … Cui Xiang suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of determination, and shouted at Ran Mei: ”Ran Mei! ”She …”

Before he could even finish speaking, a teacup was thrown right at him and stuffed into Cui Xiang's mouth. The bottom of the cup was hard, causing him to lose a mouthful of teeth and blocked the words that he had yet to say.

Huai Jin poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and sighed: ”Good tea!” Her tone was pleasant, as if she wasn't the one who had just injured someone else.

Ran Mei lowered her head and did not say a word.

After drinking the tea, Huai Jin opened her mouth again, ”Then who will fight?”

Ran Mei then raised his head and looked right into Huai Jin's eyes, then quickly lowered his head. She originally wanted to open his mouth and call for someone, but after thinking for a moment, she opened his mouth and said: ”This servant will come.”

Huai Jin looked at Ran Mei appreciatively and put down the teacup in her hand.

After being hungry for the whole morning, Huai Jin had only drank a mouthful of water. Only now did she feel that her stomach was empty, and she was a little hungry. Looking at the dishes on the table, she scooped up a bowl of the lotus seed congee that she could barely eat and slowly drank it.

After eating two bowls of lotus seed porridge, Ran Mei returned. Huai Jin put down the bowl and looked towards Ran Mei who was at the door. Her gait was light and her face still carried an unnatural whiteness.

”Finished?” Huai Jin asked.

”Reporting to the princess, the fight is over.” Ran Mei replied. While she spoke, her breath remained steady without any signs of lack of Qi after the ”movement”.

”You did it?” Huai Jin continued to ask.

”This servant does not dare to use her hands on others!”

Huai Jin stood up and closed the door behind him, blocking the gazes of the crowd. Following the closing of the door, the light inside the hall dimmed considerably, and the temperature seemed to have dropped by quite a bit as well.
