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

After Queen Yun Xi entered, she quickly scanned the scene in the room.

She immediately saw Hatsuharu standing quietly beside the bed, with a hint of worry and nervousness in her eyes.

In front of the bed, a maid was kneeling, her body trembling slightly, and she seemed very scared.

Following the line of sight, there was a person lying on the bed. Although covered by a quilt, judging from her figure and position, it should be Li Yaoer. At this moment, she was motionless and her life or death was unknown.

Yun Xi felt uneasy and walked quickly to the bedside, wanting to check on Li Yaoer's condition.

At the same time, the doctor sitting beside the bed saw Yun Xi coming in, and hurriedly stood up and saluted her respectfully, saying: "Greetings, Queen!"

There was a trace of solemnity on his face, and it was obvious that Li Yaoer's condition was not optimistic.

Yun Xi paused, frowned slightly, stared at the doctor, and asked anxiously: "How is it?"

The doctor bowed his head and reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Li was rescued in time and is still alive. But..."

He shook his head slightly, a worried look on his face. "She is still in a coma and I don't know when she will wake up. I'm afraid that even if she wakes up, her physical condition will be very bad."

Yun Xi frowned, walked to the bedside, and looked at Li Yaoer with her eyes closed: "Is she in a coma due to hanging?"

"I heard that when she was let down from the beam, her head hit a chair. There is a big lump on the back of her head." Chuchun reported softly.

"Miss Li's coma may be related to the lump on the back of her head," said the doctor.

"Why did she hang herself?" Yun Xi looked around with sharp eyes.

I always feel that this is not that simple.

Servants were kneeling on the ground all around.

"Your Majesty, we servants don't know either! Miss Li said she wanted to rest and asked us to leave. Later, we heard the sound of a chair falling to the ground in the room. We thought something was wrong, so we rushed in and saw her hanging from the beam." A servant cried.

"Miss Li has just arrived and has a good temper. The servants are busy helping her clean up and there are no conflicts with her. The only one who has had an argument with her is Miss Shengxia." Another servant said softly, with a hint of hesitation in her tone.

Another maid immediately said, "But Miss Shengxia is the Queen's person. There is no way Miss Li would hang herself because of this. Her life was saved by the Queen..."

"I don't know about that." The servant said blankly, "I'm just stating the facts."

When Shengxia heard this, she was furious: "Are you saying that Miss Li hanged herself because she had a conflict with me?"

The servant was frightened by Shengxia's momentum and said tremblingly: "I didn't say that... It's just that Miss Shengxia, you took away all of Miss Li's jewelry and pointed at her nose and scolded her. After you left, she kept crying in the room."

Shengxia's face turned ugly. She stared at the servant, her heart filled with inexplicable frustration.

She didn't know why Miss Li suddenly chose to hang herself, and she didn't understand why this servant wanted to put the blame on her.

Li Jin, who came in a step later than Yun Xi, rushed over and grabbed Sheng Xia's collar excitedly. "Why are you scolding Yao'er for no reason? Yao'er is so well-behaved and timid. It was her first time in the palace. She was pushed into the river and then arranged by the emperor to enter the palace. She didn't have any relatives around her. She was already nervous. Why...why did you bully her?"

Li Jin was so excited that tears streamed down his face, and his hand holding Shengxia's was shaking constantly.

Shengxia is an expert in martial arts and there is no way she could be controlled by a weak scholar like Li Jin.

Seeing that she wanted to take action, Yun Xi shook her head seriously. Things were already messy enough, so we must not escalate the conflict further.

"Lord Li, please let go first. Let's talk it over..." Chuchun got the hint from Yun Xi's eyes and went over to comfort him softly, but Li Jin was completely unable to control his emotions.

"My daughter! She has suffered so much! Such a lovely girl came to the palace to attend a banquet but lost her life. How can I talk to her nicely?" Li Jin was so excited that he was about to lose his composure.

Chuchun reached out and held his hand: "Master Li, your daughter is still alive!"

Li Jin paused, then turned to look at Chuchun in surprise: "What did you say? My daughter is still alive?"

Chuchun nodded: "Yes, but she got a big bump on her head and is still unconscious. However, she is definitely not dead."

Li Jin quickly let go of Shengxia and rushed to the bed.

Looking at his unconscious daughter, he suddenly knelt on the ground in front of the bed, covered his face and sobbed, tears streaming down his face like a dam breaking.

A man of seven feet tall cried so heartbrokenly in public, which made people in the room sigh. They looked at this grief-stricken father with sympathy and pity in their hearts.

Everyone started talking about it, and some lamented the fickleness of fate.

Chuchun stood silently by and handed a handkerchief to Li Jin.

"Lord Li, ahem... Fortunately, Li Yaoer is not your biological daughter, so don't be so sad!" The person from the Dali Temple who accompanied him in sighed and patted Li Jin on the shoulder.

"So what if she's not my biological daughter? I raised her since she was a child!" Li Jin cried.

They don’t know how cute Yaoer is!

Since Yao'er came into being, his gray life has become colorful.

Yaoer is very considerate and warm-hearted.

In winter, she would warm his hands every day, worried that he would get his hands frozen after writing for too long. In the middle of the night, she would even bring her own quilt and clothes to cover him.

Every time he was sick, Yaoer always stayed with him. The four-year-old girl, even though she didn't understand, would imitate the adults and check his temperature with her hands from time to time. She would also run to the kitchen to boil water for him. His wife was not as attentive as this child.

Whenever he went out, the child would always see him off to the door, say goodbye reluctantly, and tell him to be careful outside; every time he came home, the child would always wait for him at the door alone, even if it was late at night.

Yao'er is like the warm sunshine in spring, the best relative in the world for him. Although she is not his biological daughter, she is better than his biological daughter!

Holding Yaoer's hand, Li Jin cried bitterly.

They don’t understand!

If something happened to Yaoer, his life would lose all color.

Li Jin suddenly stood up: "I want to find the emperor!"

It was the Emperor who placed Yao'er in this dilapidated palace. If anything happens to Yao'er, the Emperor must be held responsible.

"Sir Li, the emperor cannot be blamed for this!" someone nearby advised.

"The Emperor has taken very good care of Miss Yao'er. Look, everything here is top-notch. The Emperor even had someone bring over the jewellery that the Queen likes to give to Miss Yao'er."

"What did you say?" Li Jin was stunned when he heard that.
