CHAPTER 308 (1): RETALIATION

Su Xi-er gave some slack to the whip, allowing Pei Yaran to use this chance to gasp for a few breaths of air . However, the latter still didn’t dare to let down her guard for fear that Su Xi-er might actually strangle her to death .  I don't know why, but my gut is telling me that Su Xi-er would really do it!

"It's this Empress Dowager business on how I want to manage the Imperial Harem, and nobody can interfere . If you kill this Empress Dowager, there is no way Prince Hao can save you even if he wants to!" Pei Yaran started to threaten Su Xi-er .  No matter what, Su Xi-er can’t kill the Empress Dowager of a nation!

Su Xi-er naturally knew that .  I am not stupid enough to throw my life away by strangling Pei Yaran to death . However, this must be a lesson that she will not forget! It’s unacceptable to simply bring a palace maid to a hut filled with torture instruments without any evidence .

"Of course this servant can’t do anything to you, Empress Dowager . It’s just that you ordered Old Maidservant Zhao to examine this servant’s body without any sort of reason . You seem to suspect this servant of immoral acts, but what evidence do you have?" Su Xi-er tightened the whip as she spoke softly, but every word she said was based on reasoning .

The tightening of the whip on Pei Yaran's neck caused her to struggle again . Her face had already turned red, and looked extremely appalling under the candlelight .

"Audacious servant! Release the Empress Dowager . You will be severely punished for leaving a mark on the Empress Dowager's neck . " Old Maidservant Zhao hollered as she slowly inched forward, carefully watching Su Xi-er as she waited for an opening to save Pei Yaran .

Unfortunately for her, Su Xi-er saw through the plan with a single glance, and replied with a smile on her face . "Old Maidservant Zhao, this servant might be too frightened to control my grip if you take another step forward . "

Right afterwards, Pei Yaran immediately gestured to Old Maidservant Zhao to take a few steps back and get the imperial guards outside the hut .

Old Maidservant Zhao understood, but as soon as she turned to exit, Su Xi-er tightened the whip around Pei Yaran’s neck until the latter almost fainted .

Looking at Pei Yaran, Old Maidservant Zhao didn't dare to take another step . She even slowed her breathing and began to think .  Su Xi-er won't dare to really kill the Empress Dowager, so why don’t I try to take a risk and rescue her by myself?

At this thought, Old Maidservant Zhao's expression turned solemn as she rushed towards Su Xi-er, lifting a hand to press down on the latter’s shoulder .

However, how could Su Xi-er allow the situation to change so easily? Pivoting on one foot, Su Xi-er lifted the other to give Old Maidservant Zhao a hefty kick on her chest .

No matter how fat or thick Old Maidservant Zhao’s skin was, the chest was still the most tender part of a woman's body; being struck there was nearly the same as a man suffering a blow to his nether regions .

Old Maidservant Zhao's plump face twisted in pain as she involuntarily stumbled a few steps back, supporting herself with a hand on the table to avoid falling to the ground .  This woman is too ruthless! The Empress Dowager’s situation is not looking good at all!

"Old Maidservant Zhao, save your energy . The Empress Dowager wishes to unfairly persecute this servant without any sort of evidence or reason, but I will not submit to such a thing . Even with her position, she still has to follow the national laws of Beimin . " Su Xi-er placed emphasis on the words ‘national laws’ .

Pei Yaran's heart palpitated in her chest . Everyone had to adhere to the national laws laid down by the founding Emperor of Beimin .  Suspecting a palace maid and immediately dealing with he personally… Even as the Empress Dowager, I wouldn’t be able to get away scot-free if the Imperial Household Department decides to investigate .

Just then, the guard’s voice sounded from outside . "Empress Dowager, Eunuch Zhang from the Imperial Household Department and Old Maidservant Liu, the in-charge of the Palace Side Quarters, have come and are requesting to meet with you . "
