"Yes sir!" The two girls' movements were nimble enough, one glance was enough to tell that they weren't lazy girls. She obediently took off Ling'er's clothes and carefully wiped herself clean.

Xiaoxiao ran back to her room and shook out all the medicine hidden in her bag. She then took out several bottles and jars from the cabinet, put them all into the clothes rack, and dragged her clothes out of the house.

By the time she returned to the bath, the girls had already washed Ling'er's body clean and retreated to the side. She walked over, crouched down, and sprinkled the best healing medicine on her wounds. Then, she stuffed a pill that her master had given her into Ling'er's mouth.

With a sweet roar, Ling'er's mind became clear. Faintly opening her eyes, she could clearly see a small look of concern.

"Better?" She gently pushed away the hair on Ling'er's forehead as she asked with good intentions.

Ling'er didn't have much of a reaction as she crawled on the ground and closed her eyes again.

That doesn't make sense, this pill should be effective!

The small bottle shook and took out another bottle from Ling'er's waist. As he unscrewed the bottle cap, a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted into the air. She poured a pill from inside and stuffed it into Ling'er's mouth, then waited silently.

"This... "Where is it?" Ling'er's voice was still very weak, and her body didn't feel the slightest bit of strength. It was as if half of her soul had been pulled out by someone, and her body was completely unable to obey.

"Who hurt you like that?" This was a small question that concerned her the most. If he did not seek justice for that insignificant person who dared to touch her, how would he survive in the palace?

A tragic scene appeared in Ling'er's mind. She hesitated for a moment before replying, "It was my carelessness …"

She didn't finish her sentence. She couldn't stand the pain anymore and fainted again.

She didn't know if Ling'er was really unconscious or just faking it. She was just being stubborn and didn't want to tell her the truth.

Forget it!

[It is not the first day that this girl has hidden herself. If there really is something that is hard to say, I won't say it!]

Carefully examining Ling'er's wounds once again, she instructed the two maidservants to help Ling'er put on her clothes. Then, she instructed the little girl to clean Ling'er's house before carrying her back to the house.

Snowball followed them eagerly, looking as if he hadn't slept enough. He would lie down wherever he went, looking like he wasn't the least bit worried about his master at all.

After settling Ling'er down, Xiaoxiao was no longer sleepy. She brought the little girl out of the room and kicked Snow Ball who was napping by the door in a displeased manner.

Gulp!

Her body rolled on the ground, causing Snowball's stomach to empty. The Five Viscera Temple sent a pleading for help. Luckily, its skin was stuck on the ground as it bit down on its little skirt, allowing her to move forward.

"Ha ha!"

The two little girls behind him covered their mouths and laughed, yet they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

One small step at a time, and she stopped at the door of the house. Squatting down, he patted Lil 'White's head and warned: "I'm not in a good mood right now. You better not mess with me, or else I'll starve you for two or three days."

When Snowball heard this, his ears perked up and he unwillingly let go of her lips. With his tail between his legs, he obediently opened up a path for his master.

Behind him, Xiu-Er followed up to Ye Xiao. Seeing Snowball squatting to the side rubbing his belly, he knew that the little guy must be hungry.

She went up and picked up the snowball from the ground. She gently stroked its head and whispered, "Snow Ball, be good. Big Sister will get something for you to eat in a while."

Snow Ball's eyes lit up again. She licked Xiu-Er's hand and quietly waited.

The three maidservants followed Xiaoxiao into the main hall of the courtyard. They sat down together as the parts of Ling'er's wounds continued to surface in their minds.

"Mistress, who could have injured Big Sister Ling'er like this?" Xiu-Er walked to her master with Snowball in her arms. The two sisters stood timidly in front of the door.

"I don't know. This attack was too ruthless, if not …" Xiaoxiao did not mention the fact that Ling'er knew martial arts, but changed the topic and asked, "Did you drink the medicine?"

"Drink half, then spit out the other half." Xiu-Er told him truthfully, shaking the snowball in her arms like she was holding a child.

"It's fine. It just depends on the degree of healing tomorrow. There's no danger to my life." Little Jun spoke very calmly, but there was a knot in his heart that could not be untied.

She looked at the two timid girls. The yard was not small. Xiu-Er and Ling'er were busy. Sometimes, they would feel tired after a day.

She waved to the two girls at the door. Xiu-Er gave them a look and they walked over and kneeled down.

"Get up! Get up! I don't want this here. " She got up and pulled the two girls up as if she hated to kneel.

"Xiu-Er, how long have you been working with these two girls?" It was better for the little girl beside him to be careful, so that he wouldn't find someone who ate the enemy's money like Blue Rain did.

Xiu-Er was too innocent. She didn't want Ye Xiao to see through her. Therefore, she had to observe them carefully before she could leave them behind.

Xiu-Er scratched her head. She thought for a while and said, "It has been three or four years, right?"

"Three to four years is already quite a bit." Xiaoxiao looked at the two girls and said, "You two wait at the door, come in after you call for them."

"Yes sir!"

The two girls nodded and obediently left.

Xiu-Er understood what her master meant. She closed the door and went back to her master. She put the little thing on the chair and listened to her master.

"Xiu-Er, tell Master honestly. If you keep one of these girls, who will you keep?" Xiaoxiao asked while holding Xiu-Er's hand.

Xiu-Er was shocked. She scratched her head and thought for a while. Finally, she shook her head.

"Xiu-Er doesn't like either of them, or both of them?" Xiaoxiao continued to ask in confusion.

Xiu-Er thought for a while and said, "Three years ago, the Azure Dragon Country invited the emissaries of the Fengwu Country. We were in charge of the meal because we were late in serving it, and all the people in the kitchen were punished. We were locked up in a woodshed with rats, and the steward wouldn't give us anything to eat. The first day was soon over, and on the second night, a few girls who were too weak passed out from hunger. In the middle of the night, a few girls were starved to death and we screamed our hearts out, but no one came to the door, or gave us anything to eat. That night we all spent a sleepless night with the body in terror. "

She closed her eyes as if she were back on that terrible night, back in that dark, damp room, seeing the sisters who lived beside her, pale on the ground. Even after dying, he still allowed those rats to bite the corpse. That fear was the nightmare of her life.

"Truly vicious, no wonder people say that the palace is terrifying. That... "And then?" Xiaoxiao held Xiu-Er's hand and wiped her tears. He didn't expect that this seemingly normal girl would actually have spent the night with a corpse.

Xiu-Er kept sobbing. "Two girls died that night. On the third day, we thought someone would come in to take a look, but they just stuffed some food in the hole." Those tall and big girls rushed forward to snatch it. Xiu-Er and I couldn't get anything to eat at all. I squatted on the side and cried. She agreed and gave me some of the loot. On the third night, the corpses were filled with rats, and the girls spent the night screaming and terrified. On the fourth day, we were released. Although some girls were still alive, they had completely lost their minds. I heard later that they were thrown by the Head Supervisor to the mountains behind the palace to feed the wolves. "

Xiu-Er was shocked and felt lucky for Xiu-Er. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a caring girl by his side.

Xiu-Er lowered her head and wiped her tears. She would never forget what happened that time. Raising her head, she continued, "After that incident, the three of us will depend on each other for our lives. I was the youngest, and they let me take care of everything. Sometimes when I was punished, they would secretly send me food. Last year, Silk and Ru Yi were taken by the other girls in the other courtyards, leaving me alone in the royal kitchen. They all came back to see me when they had time, even sending me food, afraid that I would be bullied, and even gave the reward to the new steward to take good care of me. Later, their masters were spoiled and they were sent back to the kitchen. However, Eunuch Lin will often come to the royal kitchen and take good care of us little girls. "

"Isn't this too despicable? "Which steward is it? I'll go and vent your anger tomorrow." When Little Charmer heard this, he was infuriated. He had long since heard that many eunuchs were even more terrifying than ghosts.

Ever since she had entered the palace, she had been fortunate enough to meet the kind-hearted Eunuch Lin. She dared not disrespect the other eunuchs for her identity. Thus, she had truly never encountered those damned eunuchs recorded in history and novels.

"Thank you, master, that abominable steward received his retribution in the end. A few days after the girls' deaths, a fire broke out in the imperial kitchens. Everyone could hear his shouts of firepower, but no one went to fight the fire. The fire had burned all night and everything. Master, the imperial kitchens that you are seeing right now are new. The old imperial kitchens are behind the rouge hall. " Xiu-Er waved her hand. She was convinced that there was a good reward for her kindness. The bad guys would get their retribution sooner or later.

"The heavens have eyes, good deeds will be rewarded, evil deeds will be rewarded. It's not that I don't want to repay the kindness, it's just that the time has not come yet." Xiaoxiao sighed with emotion, and then she said, "Those who keep thinking about others dying will die a horrible death one day!"

"Mistress is right, there are many beautiful ladies in the palace that have just entered. In order to obtain the favor of the Emperor, they have to think of ways to kill people." Xiu-Er had heard many of these stories. Every time she finished her story, she would have nightmares for a few days.

"The women of the palace are actually all very pitiful. Even if they are favored, it is not a life time. "The lucky ones like the empress and Imperial Concubine Mei still have someone to rely on in their second half of life. If only Concubine Ping …" As he talked about Madame Ping, he started to fall in love again.

"Mistress, don't think too much. When Xiu-Er is no longer afraid, you can go and serve Lady Pingfei." Xiu-Er couldn't bear to see her master sad.

Xiaoxiao was already feeling very comforted at heart, she waved at the door and said, "Go on! Get those two girls over here. "

"Mistress, do you really want them to come over?" Xiu-Er was surprised and happy. She looked at her master with tears and smiles. She didn't even dare to dream about serving a master with her sisters.
