The maids here had the lowest status in the harem, because they were all palace maids or concubines who had committed mistakes. In other words, everyone here was a culprit, and the steward here was also the most strict and ungrateful person in the harem. In the eyes of the steward, these servants had no chance of turning the tables around, and no matter what they talked about, they would never leave any leeway for others.

He had just entered the slave quarters, and everything here was even more sinister than Xu Bixuan had expected. The tall and deep palace walls blocked off his path, and the winding Bi Wa formed a separate building around the slave quarters. It was not connected to any of the palaces, but was one of its own.

At this moment, when Xu Bixuan was in this hell-like teaching room, her mind was not thinking about how to welcome her misery. Instead, it was calculating how she would be able to attract Leng Ao Tian's attention in this isolated teaching room! To her, suffering was something she had long since become numb to!

As the name implied, it was a place to teach or teach these noble maids and concubines who had committed crimes from the harem and other halls.

Shockingly, the three shining golden characters were in stark contrast to the shabby house. It seemed that the steward of this house was, as she had expected, a greedy person! This was good as well. If not, she might not have been able to use the bridge stratagem again!

As she walked into the slave's room, Xu Bixuan couldn't help but shiver from the cold air that assaulted her senses! Before she could see the manager inside clearly, she suddenly heard a "zi …" With a sound as if her clothes were being torn apart, a scorching pain spread throughout her body. Xu Bixuan's body froze, and she forced herself to endure the pain as she knelt down in the direction of the whip!

"This servant Xu Bixuan has received orders from the Emperor to teach her. If there is anything lacking in etiquette, please punish her as you please. Bi Xuan will definitely listen attentively to her teachings!" There was not a single trace of resentment in the exceptionally clear voice. Such a humble and respectful attitude caused Senior Servant Feng, who was holding the long whip behind the door, to be stunned!

"Cough, cough …" From the inner room of the teaching room, a mama about the same age as Senior Servant Gui walked out, drawing closer at any moment. Xu Bixuan could clearly see her appearance: Ruyi high bun, slanted golden steps, five sets of sky gold and silver inlaid with precious stones that matched the colors of her clothing, a bright clang of the same color hanging from her ear, a bright golden light shining on her neck, long … I don't dare to praise you!

At this moment, Xu Bixuan had never thought that the person who was walking over to her would play an important role in her entire revenge plan. This role had almost taken her life!

"You are Xu Bixuan!" Senior Servant Lei looked at the respectful Xu Bixuan kneeling on the ground, the corners of her wrinkled lips slightly twitching. Slowly, she sat down at the red sandalwood table in the middle of the hall!

"Senior Servant, this servant Xu Bixuan greets Senior Servant!" Xu Bixuan lowered her eyes and knelt on the ground without a trace of relaxation. That whip just now should have been aimed at her. It would let everyone who walked in know who was the master of this room!

"Hm!" Raise your head! " Senior Servant Lei's small eyes stared unblinkingly at Xu Bixuan. She had long since heard that the current Empress had fallen from grace and had an unparalleled beauty, only that her status did not give her the chance to experience it. Now that the heavens had given her a good chance, she wanted to see just how much stronger this woman who was known as the 'heavenly beauty of the nation' was!

"Hurry up and raise your head!" Didn't you hear what Senior Lei said? " Seeing Xu Bixuan's slight hesitation, Senior Servant Feng, who was behind her, raised her foot and kicked Xu Bixuan. She raised her foot violently, and when she landed on Xu Bixuan's body, she brushed past her like goose feathers.

"Yes sir!" Feeling Feng mama's kindness, Xu Bixuan hurriedly raised her head. At this moment, Lei mama's small eyes widened, and the jealousy in his eyes became clear. It seemed that the rumors weren't false; there was actually someone more beautiful than her in this world!

All right, all right!" He was so ugly and yet he dared to come out and meet people! Xu Bixuan, is it? Listen well, this is a slave quarters, not Jingde Palace. In here, you are a slave, not an empress. In the future, you have to ask me for permission. If you break the rules here, then it won't be a matter of a whip! Senior Feng, take her to the laundry room. Just like those other girls, you should get up immediately and leave! " Her voice was like that of a bird chirping with a hint of sourness. Even if no one told her, Xu Bixuan knew that this was not a good person!

"Hurry up and leave! It seems like they're looking for a beating! " Senior Servant Feng pulled Xu Bixuan up from the floor and headed towards the laundry room!

Although Senior Servant Feng hadn't really come into contact with him, Xu Bixuan could feel that she was someone who was cold on the outside but hot on the inside. Otherwise, she wouldn't have warned her twice to be careful.

Walking out of the room, Xu Bixuan carefully walked behind Senior Servant Feng, considering how she should start the conversation. It would be fine if her guess was right, but if she guessed wrongly, then it wouldn't be a big deal if she suffered a little, but the consequences would be severe!

"Senior …" "Bi Xuan thanks mama for the reminder …" Xu Bixuan parted her cherry lips and carefully probed with a flick of her fingers.

"Shut up! "Hurry up and leave!" It seemed like he had thought too much into this. After Xu Bixuan was rejected, she followed Senior Servant Feng around in a somewhat dejected manner, and arrived at a quiet and secluded area …

"My surname is Feng, and you can call me Senior Feng from now on. Xu Bixuan, I can see that you're a calm and reserved woman, and that whip strike just now was a rule and was also the first lesson for everyone who teaches in the slave quarters. Don't mind it!" Senior Servant Feng's expression was serious. As she spoke, she constantly scanned her surroundings.

"How dare Bi Xuan!" Xu Bixuan's hesitant heart suddenly lit up at this moment. It seemed that she had found a chance. However, there was not the slightest sign of it on her face.

"Forget it, Xu Bi Xuan. Here, the law of survival only has one word: endure! Senior Servant Lei is the steward here, she's not as easy to talk to as I am, but the most important point is that she's naturally narcissistic. Back then, she wanted to choose a pretty girl, but in the end, she was sent to the slave teaching room in the first round. With such beautiful looks, I'm afraid that life will not be so good in the future! As long as you leave behind your life, I believe that one day, you will leave this place! " Senior Servant Feng's eyes let out a little light!

"Senior Feng, you mean …"

"Shh …" In fact, I was once the late emperor's concubine and had a daughter, but … It has already been twenty years. I can understand your mood now. No matter what, I hope you can endure it. There will always be hope for the future! " Xu Bixuan finally understood the reason behind Feng mama's trace of pity. She nodded her head, and a trace of determination flashed through her eyes …

"I don't just want to endure, I want more! Feng mama, I hope you can help me! " As she spoke, Xu Bixuan took out a pair of jade rings from her sleeve and placed them in the palm of Senior Servant Feng's hand. However, she was pushed back in the next second!

"These things have their uses, but they are not mine!" "Let's go!" Senior Servant Feng turned around and walked in front. Xu Bixuan pondered for a moment before following!

How could Senior Servant Lei let such an outstanding looking Xu Bi Xuan live a comfortable life? The laundry room was the most tiring place in the entire serf room, and the palace maids here either had some looks or had offended Senior Lei.

Upon entering the laundry room, he saw more than a dozen people desperately washing their clothes. They were so busy that the newbies did not even see them or did not have the time to raise their heads!

"Everyone, let go of the work in your hands!" If it weren't for Senior Servant Feng's order, those people would have probably ignored him!

"Listen up, this is the new maid that was assigned to the laundry, her name is Xu Bixuan! She'll be working here with you! " After listening to Senior Servant Feng's introduction, the court ladies did not have any reaction and continued with their work. No one paid any attention to the empress who was crippled!

"You go to work too! I need to talk to Senior Lei! " Senior Servant Feng didn't stay for long. She turned around and left the laundry room.

"You! Come here for a bit! " Not far away, a lady dressed in purple waved at Xu Bixuan. It was better to have someone answer than to just stand there like a fool. Seeing someone wave at her, Xu Bixuan smiled lightly and walked over!

"Help me grab that guy!" The young girl dressed in purple pointed at another corner of the thick curtain and looked at Xu Bixuan. Her dull eyes suddenly lit up …

"So beautiful!" No wonder they were assigned here! " He was only surprised for a moment, but his hand still did not stop moving.

While the Violet Robed Palace's daughter was twisting the draping curtains, Xu Bixuan noticed some old scars and new injuries on her arm. However, her face was still pure and delicate. She was still a child, seemingly fifteen or sixteen years old.

"What's your name?" Xu Bixuan used all her strength to twist her clothes, causing the water droplets to occasionally splash onto the two of them.

"Dong'er!" That's what everyone calls it, but what about you? " Dong'er's small mouth curved into a smile as she stared at him with her kind eyes. Xu Bixuan was somewhat surprised. Even though she didn't want to be the center of attention, hadn't she said anything about such a huge matter as the Emperor being crippled?

"She's our Queen! It was just deposed! " Beside them, an older daughter of the palace chimed in.

"Ugh …" "Ahhh!" When Dong'er heard this, the dry drapes in her hands fell into the laundry pool with a bang. She jogged over to Xu Bixuan and knelt down with a plop.

"This servant greets the empress!" "Esteemed Empress, please forgive us …" The young and tender voice contained a trace of fear, causing Xu Bixuan to jump in fright. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she did not know what was going on!
