The crazy daily life of the mistress

As soon as Lu Yi saw the Queen Mother, she knelt on her knees and burst into tears: "Queen Mother, please save me! I almost died last night!"

Tears flowed out like a flood and her body trembled with fear.

The Queen Mother's heart was instantly tightened, and she was so nervous that she almost jumped out of her throat. She hurried forward, helped Lu Yi up, stared at her miserable appearance, and asked with concern: "Child, don't panic, tell me slowly. What happened last night?"

Lu Yi's voice was filled with fear and despair. She trembled and said, "Empress Dowager, the Duke of Zhenguo wants to kill me! Last night, he surrounded the yard where I live with kerosene and tried to set it on fire to burn me to death! Fortunately, I have a keen sense of smell and smelled the pungent smell of kerosene in time. When the fire was blazing, I escaped from the Duke's Mansion under the desperate protection of the maids."

Her eyes were full of pain and helplessness, as if she could still see the thrilling scene from last night.

"At that time, I watched them standing outside my yard, watching the fire raging indifferently, without any intention of putting out the fire. Their cold-eyed indifference chilled me to the core! Later, my maids and I desperately fled to my shop, thinking we could take a break. Unexpectedly, the Duke of Zhenguo sent his guards to chase us, and my maids and guards were all seriously injured in order to protect me..."

At this point, Lu Yi was already sobbing and heartbroken.

As she spoke, she pulled up her sleeve, and the wound on her arm was still bleeding.

The Queen Mother's face was full of distress, and her eyes were flashing with anger, but Zhan Shuo was her brother after all, so she could only suppress her anger.

The Queen Mother hugged Lu Yi tightly in her arms, comforting her softly, and told Madam Ru, "Aru, go get the medicine box quickly. No, go get the imperial physician. Be sure to ask him to come and take a good look at Lu Yi."

Lu Yi burst into tears and said in a choked voice: "Empress Dowager, my injury is not serious. I came here today to ask you for one thing, let me divorce. Zhan Shijun didn't like me in the first place, and now his father wants to kill me. I really don't know how I offended his family, and why everyone wants to kill me. I am also a person born and raised by my parents. Since they don't like me, let me go home!"

As she spoke, she burst into tears, hugged the Queen Mother's legs, and her body trembled slightly.

Seeing her so sad, the Queen Mother was also very sad. She stroked Lu Yi's hair and said to Nanny Hui, "Ah Hui, go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion immediately and ask him to come to the palace. Send a young eunuch to invite the Emperor to come."

There was a hint of helplessness and determination in the Queen Mother's voice. She decided to seek justice for Lu Yi.

Wanyin sat quietly in her bedroom, but her eyes kept looking towards the direction of the Empress Dowager's Palace.

Her heart was filled with concern, and although she did not go there in person, her thoughts were always there.

She knew clearly that Lu Yi had come to the Empress Dowager's Palace, and even saw Lu Yi entering the palace in a miserable state.

However, she knew that going there at this time might cause the Queen Mother's displeasure, so she chose to stay in her bedroom and read silently, as if she wanted to use the knowledge in the book to calm her heart.

In the bedroom, the silence was broken by a sound of "Pah" from my aunt Fang.

She said indignantly: "Who does she think she is? She always tries to get close to the Queen Mother. Ah Shi, you are a proper princess. You should show your face to the Queen Mother more often when you have time, so that you can find a good marriage in the future."

Fang's words revealed her disdain for Lu Yi and her expectations for Wanyin.

Speaking of marriage, Fang's tone became more anxious: "There should have been a lot of young talents at the Qionglin Banquet last night. Don't you have any favorites?"

Wanyin shook her head gently, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Aunt, I don't like those people."

She did have someone she liked in her heart, but unfortunately, he was already married and was Lu Yi's brother-in-law.

This reality made Wanyin feel heartbroken and helpless, and she silently buried this feeling deep in her heart.
