Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Xiaoqing fell to her knees with a plop, her knees making a crisp sound as they hit the cold, hard ground, but she seemed not to feel it. She just lowered her head, her face full of unspeakable grievance.

Tears were welling up in his eyes, as if they would fall at any moment. He looked so pitiful.

She thought to herself: I am loyal to the Queen, and I am devoted to her! But now I am being treated like this, which is really unfair.

Her Majesty the Queen is very busy and has to deal with so many complicated matters that it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

Perhaps it was because of this that I didn't realize that Shi Weiran was actually an ungrateful, ungrateful person and a sinister and cunning old fox?

Thinking of this, Xiaoqing couldn't help but clench her teeth tightly, a raging rage burned in her heart, and resentment surged into her heart like a tide.

This man is so hateful, what does he do that is not reckless?

First of all, he had the audacity to skip the important step of the palace examination and directly entered the Dali Temple with impunity, and his position was quite high!

Secondly, when I went to look for him in person, it was clear that he had no experience in handling cases at all, but this guy shamelessly lied to me, saying that he was an expert in solving cases!

Furthermore, the most hateful thing was that he spoke nonsense and made empty promises in front of the queen, which deceived the queen and made her easily hand over the full control of the Jinyiwei, which was very important to her.

The above few points alone are enough to prove that Shi Weiran must be good at using those shady means and tricks!

He has been working as a handyman in the Dali Temple for many years without any real job. If he is not accompanied by the Jinyiwei, will the Yang Mansion pay attention to him? Will the Dali Temple have the opportunity for him to handle cases?

If there was no assistance from the Queen, it would be a pipe dream for Shi Weiran to raid the Yang family's mansion!

It is even very likely that he could not even save his own life and would be eaten alive by the people of the Yang family.

Manager Yang has worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years. He has always been a smooth person and has good relations with many important officials in the court.

Since he was mainly responsible for purchasing items for the imperial palace, many powerful and prestigious families in the capital had personal connections with him.

It can be said that Yang Shanming’s connections in the capital are spread all over the court and outside, and his network of relationships is intricate and complex.

Yang Shanming was able to amass wealth in such a reckless manner yet still maintain his position as the head of the Imperial Household Department. His ability to deal with people is definitely extraordinary.

This can be seen from the fact that many people in the court spoke highly of him.

And what about Shi Weiran? He is just a little-known person.

He has neither a strong background nor powerful support. If he rashly takes action against the Yang family, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

Therefore, if the Queen had not been there to protect him, to support him, and to protect him, he would have been killed by the Yang family! It would be useless to investigate the case no matter how capable he was!

Everything that Shi Weiran had obtained was given by the Queen!

It was the Queen who gave him such a rare opportunity, it was the Queen who granted him a powerful helping hand, and it was the Queen who gave him extremely strong confidence!

However, this ungrateful person, after gaining the emperor's favor and favour, and experiencing several promotions, did not even utter a word of gratitude!

He enjoyed numerous privileges and gifts, but he never thought of showing the slightest respect to the Empress or offering her a small gift!

"Xiaoqing, do you know your mistake?"

Yun Xi's beautiful yet somewhat helpless eyes stared at Xiaoqing, whose face was full of grievance and unwillingness, and a deep feeling of fatigue surged in her heart.

Whose fault is it? Perhaps it is ultimately my own responsibility!

It was because he and Xiaoqing were too close on a daily basis, which gave Xiaoqing an illusion - as if she already had enough power and ability to make various decisions on his behalf!

Yun Xi has never forgotten the days in the past when they had gone through thick and thin together and supported each other; and she will not easily give up this deep friendship.

However, the current situation forced her to re-examine their relationship.

Should we allow Xiaoqing to do whatever she wants and ignore the rules just because of the past affection? The answer is obviously no.

It wasn't that Yun Xi didn't care about their past relationship, nor was it that she was cruel and heartless. It was just that as the queen, she had to stick to her bottom line.

If she can't even uphold the most basic principles, how can she lead everyone to success?

Looking at Xiaoqing's tearful and pitiful eyes, Yun Xi asked again: "Do you know clearly what mistake you made?"

Xiaoqing sobbed, tears streaming down her face like a flood, and she kept crying, "My queen, everything I did was out of my sincere love for you!"

However, the nanny standing by could no longer suppress her inner dissatisfaction and anger, frowning and scolding: "Xiaoqing, you have violated a big taboo!"

Then, the voice became more and more fierce, as if it could pierce the sky: "As the master's servant, you should abide by your duties and always remember the boundaries between master and servant. How dare you act so recklessly and make your own decisions without the master's permission? Have you forgotten your lowly and humble status?"

The nanny's stern rebuke was like thunder exploding in the air, causing pain in the eardrums.

However, in the face of such accusations, Xiaoqing did not back down. She still refuted without showing any weakness: "Mammy, please listen to me, I am different from you!"

Her eyes were firm and persistent, as if she had endless grievances to vent, "My lady and I... oh no, I should call her Madam now. We have been dependent on each other since we were young, and we are as close as sisters. Her affairs are as important to me as my own."

After saying this, Xiaoqing couldn't help but burst into tears. Her sad and touching appearance really made people feel pity.

"You should apologize to the queen right away," the nanny advised.

For many things, the Queen and Xiao Chenyi knew what was going on, but they would not tell the servants.

Xiaoqing stopped Shi Weiran today, but next time she might stop the second, third, or even tenth person who comes to see her for something.

As long as Xiaoqing feels there is a problem, this person will not come near her.

How can that be possible?

"Yes, that's true! Over the years, we have experienced countless ups and downs together and endured many hardships together." Yun Xi stared at Xiaoqing, her eyes revealing a deep emotion and memories, but at the same time also mixed with a hint of helplessness and blame.

"However, no matter how we have fought side by side and supported each other, there is one fact that cannot be changed - you are just my maid after all. As a servant, shouldn't you always abide by your duties? But look at what you are doing now, you have even offended the distinguished guest of the master's family! How can this be disgraceful? How can I be embarrassed?"

Yun Xi became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

"You set an example today. If other servants follow suit and stop anyone who comes to see us and the emperor, won't the palace be in chaos? Won't the country be in chaos?"
