Xu Bixuan silently took up the mourning cloth, thinking about everything that had just happened. It was obvious that Xin Fei had purposely come here to cause trouble, for a small clothing shop to receive such a dazzling golden phoenix. Apart from this, Xu Bixuan could not think of a better explanation!
The atmosphere in the room was heavy, and everyone's faces were filled with fear, especially Dong'er, whose hands were shaking as she sewed her mourning dress. Xu Bixuan knew that this was a side effect of hers.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. According to the date, as long as we can stay alive for a bit longer, we should be able to make it in time!" Xu Bixuan opened her mouth to speak, but her heart was uneasy. If Consort Xin insisted on finding trouble with her, then she definitely wouldn't just let it go like this! If not for that, she would not have treated him as nothing just now. Seems like this woman was much smarter than Xia Yaner, to the point that she needed to spend even more effort to deal with this new opponent!
Three days passed, then three days. Six days quietly went by. Su Manhe had indeed arrived at the teaching room. All the palace maids were trembling in fear as they awaited her judgement!
"Little Peach Blossom!" Su Man He's voice still sounded so refined and refined, but when it hit the hearts of all the palace maids, it set off stormy waves!
"Yes sir!" Watching as Little Tao Hong walked step by step towards the filial dress they had just sewn, Xu Bi Xuan suddenly stood up. She quickly walked to the front of the dress and picked up a random dress. Turning around, she bowed towards Little Tao Hong.
"How could this kind of servant's work bother esteemed wangfei's close ones? Should we let this servant do the work for you?" Xu Bixuan held onto the mourning garment in her hands and bowed towards Su Manhe's respectful mansion to pay her respects. Little Peach Blossom was left in the middle of the room, and as she turned to look at her master, she saw that Xin Fei had nodded and returned to Su Manhe's side.
"Please take a look, Empress!" Xu Bixuan hurriedly walked over to Su Manhe with small steps, feigning fear as she handed over the mourning dress in her hand to Su Manhe.
Receiving the filial dress, Su Manhe's eyes never left Xu Bixuan. This kind of humility was not what she wanted to see!
Su Manhe believed that a woman with such endurance would definitely be a fierce character. Fortunately, this Slave Emperor would never step even half a step into such a situation!
As long as Xu Bixuan was honest and stayed here, she would ask her to live for a few more days. After all, the aftermath of the cripple had just passed and the court had not forgotten about it yet. However, if she found out that Xu Bixuan was even the slightest bit restless, even if she had violated the rules, she would still take the risk!
"Hm!" You did well this time! He had to work harder! Take it! " When Xu Bixuan extended her hand to receive the mourning garment, Su Manhe intentionally threw it to her side. Xu Bixuan's eyes did not have a single shred of light in them, and the light in her eyes was calm without a single ripple. She respectfully lowered her head, and reached out to pick up the mourning dress that had fallen by her side.
At this moment, a foot viciously stepped onto Xu Bixuan's slender fingers. The strength displayed was enough to cause Xu Bixuan to cry out in pain, but she swallowed it all back into her stomach. This kind of program was performed every day, and the wounds that Senior Servant Lei left on her body were probably even more severe than this.
"Little Peach Blossom!" Why aren't you admitting your wrongs to this palace maid! Even the lowliest palace maid could not be easily trampled on. Humans all had their own pride! "Still not fast!" Su Man He angrily scolded Little Peach Blush, but his every word was directed at Xu Bixuan. The meaning behind his words was to warn her that if she was a woman who couldn't even be compared to the lowliest of palace maids, she had to behave!
"Empress's words are too harsh. I believe Miss Peach Blossom didn't mean it. May esteemed wangfei please don't blame her. As for this servant's cheap hands, their skin is rough, and stepping on them is nothing!" "I've troubled esteemed wangfei …" A faint smile appeared on Xu Bixuan's cherry lips. Although there was no hint of happiness on her face, she had already lowered her posture to the lowest!
"Little Peach Blossom!" "Let's go!" Qiushui's bright eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the deposed empress on the ground. Su Manhe suddenly felt a sliver of confusion in her heart. She didn't even know what this woman was thinking! She couldn't see through her at all. Forget it, as long as she was obedient, everything would be fine!
As Su Manhe left, Senior Servant Lei let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead! It was the same for the other palace maids!
"Big Sister Bluelily, are you alright?" Dong'er ran over and picked up the mourning garment on the ground, supporting Xu Bixuan with one hand as she stood up. Seeing how red and swollen her hands were from being stepped on, and how some parts of her skin had been worn out and blood was seeping out, this was clearly intentional. It was not that simple as stepping on the ground; it was truly hard to imagine how Xu Bixuan had survived this ordeal.
"What can happen!? He hadn't heard esteemed wangfei say it! Get back to work! It's only a hundred sets, there's still two hundred sets left! Get up! Work! "Work!" Senior Servant Lei focused her mind and looked at Dong'er's mournful expression. She was extremely vexed!
"Senior Lei, just let Big Sister Bi Xuan apply some medicine!" "She …"
'Pa! 'Five finger marks suddenly appeared on Dong'er's face. Senior Servant Lei pointed at Dong'er and loudly cursed.
"Who do you think you are, since when did you have the right to speak here!?" What did that little injury matter!? You still need to apply medicine! Who did she think she was! Was she still that aloof and aloof empress?! "Pfft!" Senior Servant Lei seemed to have vented his earlier anger, while Dong'er opened her mouth at the wrong time. However, there would never be an appropriate time in front of Senior Lei!
"Senior Servant Lei, please calm your anger. Dong'er is still young, and I don't understand your efforts. Bi Xuan will definitely work hard to sew up a filial dress. She won't miss anything!" Xu Bixuan pulled up Dong'er, who was still in a state of panic, and ran back to her seat. She picked up her needle and thread!
"Hmph …" Senior Servant Lei let out a cold snort and left the workshop. Naturally, Senior Servant Feng also followed him!
"Dong'er, I'm sorry, I've implicated you!" Hearing the footsteps outside, Xu Bixuan's eyes turned to look at Dong'er beside her. Seeing the red finger mark on her face, her eyebrows knitted together. It seemed like the harem had always been a heartless place. With Dong'er's kind heart, there were three paths in front of her: first, to leave this Purgatory; second, to die in this Purgatory; and third, to become the ruler of the Purgatory! This was also Xu Bixuan's fate! And she was working hard towards the third, never giving up!
"No …." No! Now, we're all hurt! Suffering together! "Haha …" Dong'er's tears had turned into laughter, and her teeth were bared. This made Xu Bixuan feel even more guilty!
Xu Bixuan reached out to dispel the smudge on Dong'er's face, but at this moment, Senior Servant Feng's voice came from the door …
"Xu Bixuan! Come out for a bit! "
Hearing the summons, Dong'er's eyes were covered with a layer of fear. Xu Bixuan put down the mourning cloth in her hands and patted Dong'er's shoulder.
"It will be fine!" "Don't worry." After comforting Dong'er, Xu Bixuan nervously walked out. She didn't know if what welcomed her was Senior Feng's concern, Senior Lei's whip, or Su Manhe's provocation! No matter what it was, she was fearless. The will to revenge had already formed a protective wall in her heart. Nothing could destroy it!
Exiting the dressing room, Xu Bixuan followed Senior Servant Feng around the weaving room and the teahouse. They arrived at the innermost room!
After Xu Bixuan had entered, Feng mama poked her head out. When she saw that nothing was amiss, she shut the door tightly and turned the peak of the mountain. Her eyes shone with a brilliant light!
"Bi Xuan! Your chance has come! " Senior Servant Feng's voice was filled with excitement. Seeing Xu Bixuan's body sway slightly, she hurriedly used her rough hands to hold her back.
"Feng..." Feng mama … "You mean …" Half a month had passed. Xu Bixuan looked at Feng mama in disbelief, her eyes filled with a magnificent splendor.
"Child! I have asked around, all of these ceremonial clothes will be sent to each and every palace by the palace maids in charge, not only that, there will also be a portion of them that will be sent to some of the important officials outside the palace, you should take this opportunity to escape! " Every time she saw Xu Bixuan, she would see the image of her own daughter in front of her eyes. Sometimes, she even felt that Xu Bixuan was her own daughter, so how could she let her daughter suffer here!
Run!" No! I won't run away! I haven't even avenged my daughter, and I won't give up! " "Her originally bright eyes dimmed. So the opportunity that Feng mama had mentioned was to give back her freedom. She knew that she wasn't asking for that.
"Child! Don't be silly! Not to mention you're not the empress, even if you're still living in Jingde Palace, you might not be able to deal with the little princess' murderer! I don't want you to go my way again! Back then, when my daughter was killed, I had the same thought as you, but the result! Look at me now, I'm probably going to die of old age in this slave quarters. My daughter didn't report it, but gave up her entire life. Is it worth it!? Bi Xuan! "Let's go!" Senior Servant Feng's tears rolled down her cheeks, but she stubbornly refused to shed them!
Seeing Feng mama's true feelings, Xu Bixuan was a little moved. She gripped Feng mama's hand and calmly spoke …
"Momo, I just want to ask you, do you have any regrets regarding the decision you made that day?" Although the results were not satisfactory, but I believe that you have never regretted staying here, and Bi Xuan was the same! No matter how much pain, torture, or death it was! I will not regret my decision today! Please understand my pains! I also thank Mammy for everything she did for me! If there's a chance, Bi Xuan will definitely repay this mama for her kindness! " Tears fell from her eyes. Xu Bixuan was glad that she wasn't fighting alone. At the very least, there were still people who cared about her!
"Sigh …" Poor child! "Come, let me help you wipe your wounds first!" Feng mama admired this woman's tenacity and perseverance from the bottom of her heart. Not bad, if she was allowed to choose again, her choice wouldn't change either!
"Don't... If Senior Servant Lei finds out, I'm afraid she'll blame you! Right … Mommy, you just said that the prepared mourning garments will be personally delivered by the teachers of the slave rooms to each palace. Amongst them … Even the Imperial Hall was included? " The depths of Xu Bixuan's eyes turned cold.
"Of course! "You mean …" Feng mama was shocked as she looked at Xu Bixuan in disbelief.
"That's right!" Senior Feng, please give me a chance! "Please!" Xu Bixuan suddenly kneeled on the ice-cold ground, her hands on the ground as she kowtowed with all her might!
"Get up! Fast! Be careful of your hands! " With a pained heart, Feng mama helped Xu Bixuan up and helped her to a seat, a grave expression on her face.
"I've heard that the emperor hates you to the bones. Isn't it too risky for you to take this step?!"
"But, if it wasn't for His Majesty's approval, how would I have left this slave quarters? How would I have had the chance to find out who killed my daughter?!" This is my only path! Please grant my wish! " Xu Bixuan didn't tell Feng mama the truth. She didn't need to investigate the real culprit; all she needed to do was take revenge! Leng Ao Tian, Xia Yan'er! Xu Bixuan had already engraved the names of these two in her heart!
"Sigh …" Fine! I can only help you arrange for your mourning garments to be delivered to the Imperial Hall. As for the rest, I'm afraid I can't help you in any way! "Moreover …" Senior Servant Feng was a little worried. Xu Bixuan naturally understood this
"Momo, don't worry. No matter what happens, Bi Xuan will definitely not implicate Momo, or all of the sisters in the servant room!" A bright light suddenly flashed in front of Xu Bixuan. Under the guidance of the bright light, her path of revenge slowly emerged from its starting point and she began to slowly move forward!
