Xia Sizhu endured the pain as she walked step by step back into the palace. The more she walked, the colder her gaze became. The self-deprecating smile on the corner of her mouth grew even wider.

She didn't blame anyone but herself for falling a step earlier than Dongfang Ye. If she hadn't fallen in love with him, then she wouldn't be the one feeling sad right now.

Xia Sizhu's eyes were ice-cold. Her cold aura caused the surrounding people to step back one after the other. After retreating, everyone looked at the bloodstained corner of Xia Sizhu's mouth with doubt in their eyes. Everyone began to speculate as to what had happened to Xia Sizhu.

"Miss, what happened to you?" When Ling'er saw the pale-faced Xia Sizhu with a bloodstain on the corner of her mouth, she instantly panicked. She put down the work in her hands and went to check on Xia Sizhu's injuries.

"I'm fine!" Xia Sizhu coldly said as she dodged Ling'er's hand.

Ling'er was stunned. What happened to Miss? Why did it become so cold?

"Esteemed wangfei, what happened to you?" Who hurt you? " Upon hearing Ling'er's voice, Ling Feng rushed over. He couldn't help but become anxious when he saw the disordered breathing of Xia Sizhu.

The wangfei was the prince's heart and soul. If anything happened to her, he would definitely be blamed for not taking care of her properly. But wasn't the wangfei going to find the prince? How did this happen?

At this moment, Ling Feng saw Dongfang Ye slowly walking over from a short distance away and was about to tell him about Xia Sizhu's injuries, but he accidentally saw "Prince, Princess" in Dongfang Ye's embrace.

When Ling Feng saw that Xia Sizhu's expression was calm without the slightest change, he knew that she had already found out.

Dongfang Ye, with Yan Aoxuan in his arms, walked past Xia Sizhu without even glancing at her. He then looked at Ling Feng and slowly said.

"This King knows that wangfei is injured. The injuries on her body were caused by This King." With that, he ignored everyone's reactions and left.

Ling Feng looked at his cold master and did not react for a moment. Ling'er also had a dumbstruck expression. It was obvious that she could not accept the scene that had just transpired.

"Ha!" As expected, none of the men here were good stuff.

The ice-cold Dongfang Ye made her think of that scum in her previous life who forced her mother to sell her to traffickers for the sake of being rich and powerful.

She had originally thought that Dongfang Ye would be different, but he ended up with wounds all over his body. The corner of Xia Sizhu's mouth curved into a powerless smile.

After holding on for so long, the sight before Xia Sizhu's eyes turned dark and she fainted.

"Miss!" Before she had fainted, Xia Sizhu had only heard Ling'er's anxious voice.

When Xia Sizhu woke up again, she was inside the Reflection Bamboo Pavilion. Seeing the familiar room, she felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

"Miss, you've finally woken up. Miss has been unconscious for almost a day." When she saw that Xia Sizhu had woken up, she immediately put down the medicine and came to her side.

"Ling'er, help me up." Xia Sizhu tried to find a way out of it, but couldn't. She could only turn to Ling'er.

Hearing this, Ling'er gently helped Xia Sizhu up and even placed a pillow next to her.

"Ling'er, what time is it?" Xia Sizhu adjusted her position and spoke weakly as she glanced at the bright and beautiful sky.

"Miss, it's time." Ling'er looked at the pale-faced Xia Sizhu as a flash of pain appeared in her eyes.

She had originally thought that the Night King was the young miss's benefactor, shielding her from the wind and the rain. The first day after their marriage, the young miss and the Night King brought back a woman from the outside, and even injured the young lady.

She really hated the Night King. Before marriage, she would hold the little miss in her palm and abandon her like a pair of shoes after marriage. Since she didn't love the little miss why she wanted to marry the little miss back, the little miss would have to suffer from this.

"Shenjun? I've been in a coma long enough. " Xia Sizhu laughed coldly. Dongfang Ye was really ruthless in making her lose consciousness for so long.

"Ling'er, tell me about the matter of Yan Ao Xuan entering the mansion!" Even if she was sad, she was still Esteemed Empress Ye. There were some things that she should still know. Only after knowing them would she be able to arrange the next step, wouldn't it?

Hearing Xia Sizhu's question, Ling'er was filled with anger. She sputtered out a bunch of words. Only a third of the information was useful.

From Ling'er's mouth, after Xia Sizhu learned that Yan Ao Xuan had been brought back by Dongfang Ye, he personally arranged a courtyard for Yan Ao Xuan. Everything he used was in accordance with the requirements set by the imperial concubine.

He even warned his underlings to serve Yan Ao Xuan well and not make the slightest mistake. Afterwards, he would always bring her around in her courtyard, and from time to time, there would be cheerful laughter coming from there.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate to say it." With a single glance, Xia Si Zhu saw through Ling'er's thoughts.

"Miss, both the people at the mansion and the people outside are saying that Miss has lost her favor. The prince doesn't want Miss anymore, and the wangfei's position can't be preserved either. Now that there's a bunch of people outside who want to make fun of Miss, what should we do?"

Ling'er's face was filled with worry and anger as she looked at Xia Sizhu.

"Let others talk about it! "I don't care. Even if Dongfang Ye and I can't keep walking, I was the one who abandoned him, not your young miss."

Hearing this, Xia Sizhu only smiled indifferently. She didn't care about these discussions. In fact, she already had a plan in her heart.

"Ling'er, can you call Aunt Liu over?" Xia Si Zhu looked at Ling'er and said.

"No need to shout, I'm right here!" Liu Rou originally wanted to come see Xia Sizhu, but when she heard the two inside speak, she didn't disturb them …

When she heard Xia Sizhu mention her, she pushed open the door and entered.

"Ling'er, go out and help me get the wind down." Xia Si Zhu smiled and said to Ling'er.

After the door was closed, Xia Sizhu looked at Liu Rou with a cold look in her eyes. "Aunt Liu, I have something to ask of you!"

Not long after Ling'er had arrived at the door, Yan Ao Xuan arrived with her maidservant.

"My wife has matters to discuss with Xia Sizhu. Quickly, get your master out to see my wife."

The maidservant looked at Ling Er, who was at the door, with disdain.

Yan Ao Xuan's servant girl raised her head high with a face full of arrogance. When she opened her mouth, she directly called out Xia Si Zhu's name and told him to meet Yan Ao Xuan.

When Xia Sizhu, who was talking to Aunt Liu in her room, heard this, she couldn't help but smile. Yan Ao Xuan was just someone who hadn't married in a long time. Where did she get such a wife?

Right now, she was still the legitimate Queen Night. It would be a great disrespect for her to call herself by her first name, let alone letting an imperial concubine like her go out to meet a mistress without any status.

"Our young mistress and Aunt Liu have matters to discuss." When Ling'er saw the two of them, her expression immediately darkened as she unhappily urged them to leave.

"You lowly servant, why are you speaking to Madam Yan like that? You're just like that master of yours, you don't know what's good for you. Watch how I teach you a lesson."

Yan Aoxuan shot a glance at the maidservant beside her, and the maidservant immediately understood. With a fierce look on her face, she reached out her hand to hit Ling'er, but Ling'er was unable to dodge.
