“Yes,” Chun Xiu responded.
“Someone, drag this lowly maid out and behead her. I will not allow anyone to cause chaos in the inner palace,” the empress dowager said decisively, casting an extremely unfriendly gaze at the bewildered Mei Siyu.
“Yes,” the guards outside responded and entered the room, dragging the kneeling Chun Xiu away.
“Mei Fei, you should restrain yourself and not anger me, or you will meet the same fate. Even if you carry the emperor’s dragon seed, I will still punish you severely,” the empress dowager said, then left with Wan’er’s support.
“What is going on? I haven’t done anything, so why am I being told to restrain myself? This is ridiculous!” Mei Siyu had no say from beginning to end, feeling like she had been punched, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Who had she offended that everyone was bullying her? And that Wan’er, clearly wanting to frame her, asking, “Chun Xiu, is this something Mei Fei gave you?” How absurd! She had never thought Xia Wan’er could be so despicable. Today had truly opened her eyes. People cannot be judged by appearance, and the sea cannot be measured.
“Young Miss, you see now, right? Concubine Xian is not as good as you thought. Hasn’t Xiao Rou been telling you this all along?” Xiao Rou said.
“Oh, can’t I just admit my mistake?” Mei Siyu said with a bitter face, looking very aggrieved.
“Young Miss, you still have the mood to joke? You’re in big trouble. Didn’t you hear what the empress dowager said?” Xiao Rou reminded her helplessly. Her young miss was very kind, but her ability to distinguish right from wrong was terrible. She couldn’t understand why, ever since the young miss’s personality changed, everything was fine except for this point that troubled her. The previous young miss was not this dull; on the contrary, she was quite good at reading the atmosphere and turning danger into safety. Not like the current young miss, who was so worry-free.
