“Ye’er has already fallen to this state. Why won’t she let Ye’er off?”

With that, she covered her face and cried.

Empress Dowager Zhou did not expect her to still be talking about others. She said coldly, “I can’t figure out why I’ve raised an ingrate for so many years.”

Xuanyuan Ye stopped crying. “Imperial Grandmother...”

“I’m old, not stupid.” Empress Dowager Zhou took a deep breath. “You indeed have no reason to harm me, but you wanted to use me to harm that girl.” Xuanyuan Ye quickly shook her head. “I didn’t!”

“You did!” Empress Dowager Zhou’s face darkened. “Someone told you that that girl’s blood could treat the plague, so you deliberately told Ma San about this. You wanted to encourage everyone to force that girl surnamed Shen to bleed to save people, but you didn’t expect them to be easily chased away by the people Mingler brought. In order to protect that girl, Ce’er even announced her background.”

Seeing that everyone did not dare to force her because of that girl’s identity, she came up with another plan. She first quarreled with Bai Zhi in public. While clearing her name, she also reminded everyone that they could first verify that that girl was immune to the plague.

“On the other hand, you know that with Ming’er and Celer around, those commoners might not be able to touch that girl, so you thought of borrowing the power of the empress dowager and the emperor.”

“The best way was naturally to let me catch the plague.”

“I was infected with the plague, and Ma San and the others proved that that girl would not be infected with the plague. When the emperor finds out, he will definitely want her to bleed to save me.”

“As long as she saves me and the commoners cause a commotion, how can the emperor ignore them? There are so many people... It’s probably not enough to drain that girl’s blood.”

Xuanyuan Ye’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she forgot to deny it.

If not for the fact that she knew that she had never told anyone about this, she would have thought that Empress Dowager Zhou had planted spies around her.

One had to know that even Bai Zhi only knew that she had spread rumors and knew nothing else.

“I thought that you were young and had lost your mind for a moment. All these days, I’ve been waiting for you to take the initiative to apologize to me. As long as you can repent, it’s not that I can’t give you a chance. But you didn’t. In the end, you even wanted to bite that girl back. You didn’t feel guilty at all.” Empress Dowager Zhou choked.

As an elder, when a junior made a mistake, she always thought that she could change for the better. However, Xuanyuan Ye disappointed her too much.

Xuanyuan Ye sat on the ground and looked at Empress Dowager Zhou in a daze.

Did she just say that as long as she admitted her mistake, she would give her a chance?

Giving a person who had almost killed her a chance sounded ridiculous, but Xuanyuan Ye knew that Empress Dowager Zhou was telling the truth.

Even though she knew that she was not her biological granddaughter and was not related to her by blood, Empress Dowager Zhou’s doting on her had never changed.

Empress Dowager Zhou turned around and stopped looking at her. “Eunuch Yu, send her to the emperor. Call the imperial physician along.”

“Imperial Grandmother!” Xuanyuan Ye’s pupils constricted. She crawled over on all fours and hugged Empress Dowager Zhou’s legs. Tears streamed down her face. “Grandmother, I know my mistake. I won’t go against Shen Yijia again.” n)/Ov.el/uSb(c-o/m

“I don’t want to be a princess. I just want to be by Imperial Grandmother’s side.

Even if I have to be a maidservant to serve Imperial Grandmother, I just want Imperial Grandmother to give me another chance.”

“Grandmother, can you give Ye’er another chance?”

Empress Dowager Zhou closed her eyes and said coldly, “Eunuch Yu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring her away.”

Eunuch Yu quickly went to call for help. Soon, two eunuchs came in and dragged Xuanyuan Ye away.

“Imperial Grandmother!” Xuanyuan Ye grabbed Empress Dowager Zhou’s skirt tightly.

However, she could not exert any strength with her right hand and was easily pulled away.

“Imperial Grandmother, please give Ye’er another chance!”

Even after she was dragged out of the Longevity Palace, Xuanyuan Ye’s voice seemed to still echo in her ears. Empress Dowager Zhou’s body swayed.

Nanny Gao quickly wanted to help her, but another hand was faster than hers.

“Imperial Grandmother, are you alright?” Xuanyuan Ziming asked worriedly.

Empress Dowager Zhou patted his hand. “You’re right. If I continue to be soft-hearted to her, sooner or later, Celer will completely fall out with me.”

She was infected with the plague, and Xuanyuan Ce chose his daughter in the end. Wasn’t this enough proof?

It would be a lie to say that she didn’t feel uncomfortable..
