Yin Ji's previous words still stuck in her heart like a needle.
But Yin Ji had never been considerate towards her. Seeing that she was still not moving, he grabbed her arm and pulled her up regardless of whether she wanted to or not.
Her back was pressed against the pillar, and the person in front of her looked over as if he was looking at the object.
"The clearance has been reduced a lot."
Xie Yun lowered her eyes and didn't want to speak.
But Yin Ji was very mean: "You have become mute after being ill?"
Only then did Xie Yun have to speak: "...No."
"That's good...you have to remember the lesson this time."
Xie Yun felt a fire rising in her heart, and she looked directly at him coldly: "I made no mistake. I don't know what lesson I should learn."
"A tough talk?" Yin Ji's face turned blue, "It seems you want me to teach you a lesson myself."
Xie Yun pursed her lips, and the stubborn light in her eyes dimmed little by little. The last time Yin Ji said this, the Xie family in southern Yunnan were hungry for three days.
She lowered her head: "I don't dare."
"It better be."
Yin Ji got the result he wanted, rolled up his sleeves and left without even looking back.
Xie Yun stood quietly for a long time, but suppressed all her emotions and followed him. Since she had recovered from her illness, she had to cancel her leave and go back to serve him no matter how reluctant she was.
When Cai Tianxi saw her coming back, he smiled kindly, but there was a trace of embarrassment hidden in him: "Is Miss Xie Yun okay?"
Xie Yun bent down slightly as a courtesy, but was avoided by Cai Tianxi - he was the emperor's man after all, and the other party did not dare to touch Qiao.
"Girl is not here, our old bones can no longer hold on."
"Eunuch Cai is joking, this Qianyuan Palace will not be able to survive without you."
The two complimented each other, seemingly warm, but Xie Yun vaguely felt that something was wrong with him, but Yin Ji had already entered the palace, so she could not delay any longer.
She nodded to Cai Tianxi as a farewell, but after entering the palace, she didn't even get a look from Yin Ji.
It was obviously him who had the attack first, and he was the one who was ignoring people now.
Xie Yun shook her head, suppressed the complicated and obscure emotions, and turned around to go to the tearoom to make tea. But when she looked up, she saw a familiar palace maid walking towards him holding a teacup.
She seemed to be the palace maid Xiang Sui who she slapped for gossiping about her not long ago.
She didn't pay much attention and raised her hand to pick it up: "Give it to me."
Xiang Sui turned aside and said with a smile: "My aunt has just recovered from a serious illness and it's time to rest. How can I let you do the job of serving people?"
The words sounded nice, but this look was a real provocation.
Xie Yun didn't expect that she was nothing more than…. After being ill for half a month, someone started to focus on her position as the maid in charge.
No, it wasn't her who was targeting her, but someone who put her in this position... No wonder Cai Tianxi's attitude was so strange just now.
But the people around the emperor, Cai Tianxi, could not make their own decisions.
She turned to look at Yin Ji, who was also looking at her, but still said nothing, as if he was watching the fun.
This attitude is indeed related to him.
Xie Yun sighed inwardly, her eyes sharpened suddenly, he wanted to see the excitement, right?
Show you!
She raised her hand against the tray and pushed hard. Xiang Sui couldn't stand still and stumbled to the ground. All the hot tea was poured on her, and a scream instantly tore through the sky.
Xie Yun's face was expressionless: "You have lost your decency before the emperor. Is this the slave who was taught by the chamberlain?"
Xiang Sui looked over angrily: "It was obviously you who pushed me!"
"You can yell when I push you? When did your superior teach the palace maids to allow you to yell?"
Xiang Sui didn't expect her to be so unreasonable, and her face turned red with anger. However, Xie Yun knelt down, raised her hand and patted her cheek gently, with a majestic and condensed look in her eyes: "You have been working for me for a few days. Do you really think you can replace me?”
Her cheeks were burning with pain, but it was not because Xie Yun actually hit her, but because the memory of being slapped was too painful. Xiang Sui's face instantly turned pale, and she was so trembling that she could no longer speak.
"Next time, remember to be arrogant again when you are sure to trample me under your feet. Go away."
Xiang Sui got up and ran away in embarrassment as if she had been granted amnesty.
Xie Yun calmly picked up the broken cups without even looking at her.
A chuckle sounded from above the head: "You still have this temper. I'm really curious about how you will die if you lose power one day."
Xie Yun was unfazed: "Without your Majesty's troubles, I will live to be twenty-five years old and leave here no matter what."
