When惢心 returned to the Yanxi Palace with gifts, she felt a little sad.

Although Empress Xian pushed her into the Ministry of Punishment, where she suffered torture, she has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, but no one knows what happened to Sister A Ruo.

When Suo Xin entered the Yanxi Palace, Lingzhi greeted her happily and told her that Hai Changzai had also moved in. Suo Xin smiled awkwardly and asked, "Lingzhi, where is Sister A Ruo? Is her injury healed?"

Lingzhi sighed, "Sister Suoxin, after you left, Sister Aruo returned to serve the master on the third day after she was injured. She is now serving the master and Hai Changzai in the house. I will accompany you to see the master."

Suo Xin nodded sadly. Sister Arruo's injury was much more serious than hers, and she also had a wound on her knee, but she had already started to stand in the proper position. She followed Lingzhi to the main hall and heard Empress Xian and Hai Chang discussing the matter of Concubine Jia's sleeping with the emperor.

"Ah? Really? Sister, are you talking about Concubine Jia?"

"Yeah yeah."

Yunzhi put down a cup of tea and asked, "What are you talking about, Master? Why are you so happy?"

When Suo Xin came in, she saw Empress Xian raising her armored hands to cover her face and said with a smile, "Girls can't listen to this, can't listen to this."

Suo Xin felt very uncomfortable listening to this. She was now the maid of Concubine Jia. When she heard others talking about her master's sleeping with the emperor, she always wanted to defend her master. Her master was just doing her job well. If the concubines did not sleep with the emperor, did they have to sleep with the eunuchs?

"Your servant Suo Xin pays respect to Her Majesty Empress Xian, Hai Changzai."

Ruyi saw that it was惢心 who came and didn't call her master anymore. She felt unhappy and her face drooped. Hailan saw this and said for Ruyi:

"Miss Suo Xin, how dare I accept your gift? Now you no longer call me sister and master, but Empress Xianfei instead."

惢心 only looked at A'ruo who was standing behind Concubine Xian. Sister A'ruo no longer had any of her former spirit. She stood quietly behind Concubine Xian with her head down and mouth closed, and shook her head at惢心.

Seeing that惢心 didn't answer Hai Lan's words, Ruyi couldn't help but say, "惢心, why did you come back? Didn't you follow Concubine Jia?"

Suo Xin still maintained the most basic respect for Empress Xian. She knelt down and said:

"I am here to see Sister A Ruo. Please ask Empress Xian to let Sister A Ruo come out and talk to me."

A'ruo's expression changed, and sadness appeared in her eyes.

Now, whenever she spoke, her mouth and gums where her missing teeth were still in great pain, but the master felt it was disgraceful and refused to allow the imperial physician to see her.

Ruyi looked at惢心. She was very disappointed with惢心.惢心 was thinking about A Ruo all the time, and she had no attachment to her master at all. She was really heartless. She said lightly:

"惢心, I didn't expect you and A'ruo to be so close, but A'ruo is injured now, and she can't speak. You should be considerate of her. You can go out and talk for a while, and let A'ruo come back to serve. The Yanxi Palace is missing a senior maid, so A'ruo will naturally have to do more."

A Ruo finally showed a little joy on her face. She was very grateful that惢心 remembered to come back to see her. She stood there for the whole morning, moved her feet with difficulty, and followed惢心 out.

As soon as they left the main hall, Suo Xin hugged A Ruo and said, "Sister A Ruo, I will go back and ask Concubine Jia to take you with me."

Ah Ruo shook her head. Every time she said a word, she felt pain. But she still wanted to say, "Silly...惢心, I am different from you... I am the dowry of the master... Concubine Jia... why don't you go?"

Suo stamped her feet anxiously. Sister A Ruo used to be so eloquent and straightforward, how could she become like this now? She cried, tears flowing down like a broken dam, "Sister A Ruo, I want to save you, I want to save you."

Suo Xin begged Lingzhi, "Lingzhi, can you help me go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Jiang Yubin to come over and tell him that I asked him to treat Sister A'ruo's wound. He has to treat it, otherwise Sister A'ruo's wound will fester."

Lingzhi had wanted to ask the imperial physician for a long time. Now, after hearing what her sister惢心 said, she ran to the imperial hospital.

As servants, they were destined to live a lonely and miserable life once they entered the palace, so they naturally had to support and help each other.

Ah Ruo looked at Suo Xin who was worried about her and asked the imperial physician to come for her, and her tears fell unconsciously. She hugged Suo Xin and released all the grievances and repressions of the past few days at once, "Woo~ woo~ woo, Suo Xin"

Ah Ruo's crying sounded from small, fragmented moans to wails, and finally, it became an uncontrollable cry of pain, "惢心, it hurts... it hurts so much"

惢心's heart was about to break. She had experienced the methods used by the Shenxingsi Nanny. She hugged Sister A Ruo and comforted her, "Sister A Ruo, it will be fine. Jiang Yubin will heal you."

Jiang Yubin came hurriedly with a medicine box. When he saw Ah Ruo's injuries, he shook his head and said:

"It's too late for Miss A'ruo to be treated. If it was earlier, I could still use the tooth filling technique to fix it for her. But now her gums are necrotic and infected. I can only make Miss A'ruo's wound heal quickly so that she can talk without so much pain."

惢心 said quickly: "It would be great if the wound could heal quickly, as long as it doesn't hurt so much. Jiang Yubin, I'll leave everything to you."

Just as Jiang Yebin was about to treat him, he heard a dignified voice at the door, "I didn't invite the imperial physician Jiang Yebin, why did you come here uninvited?"

The three of them bowed and greeted each other. Jiang Yubin explained, "I came here to treat Miss A Ruo's injury. After I prescribed the medicine, I thought I would go to greet the queen. I didn't expect the queen to come first. I am sorry for being rude."

Ruyi was unhappy. Suo Xin invited Jiang Yubin without permission. Wasn't it telling everyone that her maid was injured in the Ministry of Punishment and no one treated her? This would make her a laughing stock in the palace and lose her original dignity and respect.

She said calmly, "No need, Imperial Doctor Jiang, please go back. I have medicine here, just give it to Ah Ruo, no need to bother the Imperial Doctor."

After saying that, she looked at惢心 again, "You are no longer a maid in my Yanxi Palace, why did you invite the imperial physician to come to the Yanxi Palace? You are embarrassing me in public!"

Suo Xin's anger was out of control. She felt sad for A Ruo and for her past self. Suo Xin knelt down and bowed, speaking with unprecedented grief and indignation:

"Empress Xian, your face is really valuable. You let me and Sister A Ruo go to the Ministry of Punishment and ruined Sister A Ruo's life. Until today, I finally see you clearly. You always claim to be as pure as a chrysanthemum, kind and non-confrontational, but you are the most useless and heartless person in the world. Look at what A Ruo, who grew up with you, has become. You have the heart to let her serve you while she is injured. You are really noble!"

"Empress Xian, in your heart, you can give up Sister A Ruo, you can give up this servant, so what else can't you give up?"

Ruyi was so scolded by惢心 that she couldn't breathe. She widened her eyes and said:

"She is my slave, and she is willing to do all this. This is her loyalty, which is different from people like you who betray me!"

A'ruo shook her head with tears in her eyes, came over and covered惢心's mouth, signaling惢心 to stop talking.惢心 gently pushed A'ruo away, turned around and wiped her tears.

惢心 sneered, and tears welled up in her eyes as she laughed. Jiang Yebin was so scared that he wanted to pull her away, but 惢心 shook off Jiang Yebin's hand.

"Haha, yes, we are slaves, and you are the noble master. We should be trampled on by you at will, like ants. Empress Xian, what I said today offended you, but I don't regret it. I still want to say one last thing. You don't treat slaves as people, but as dogs. But don't forget that dogs will bite people when they are angry."

After saying this,惢心 took one last look at Sister A Ruo, and A Ruo also looked at her. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and the last bit of attachment to the warmth of this world.

Ruyi was tired. She sat at the table with red eyes.惢心's words made her lose face.

She obviously always attached great importance to the lives of her servants, and she would even take the initiative to show courtesy to the eunuchs. How could惢心 say this to her? But after惢心 said this, she didn't know how to refute it, and she had nothing to say.

After Suo Xin left, Ruyi said tiredly:

"A Ruo, I think Suo Xin has gone crazy and has grown arrogant. What she just said broke my heart. I am very disappointed in her. Fortunately, you understand me and you are still by my side."

A Ruo sneered. Just like惢心 said, even a dog will bite when it is angry. She stayed with Concubine Xian, waiting for the day when she would bite her hard.
