Chapter 35 Su Xi-er didn't understand Pei Qianhao's thoughts or methods at all . Concluding that normal people would never be able to understand him, she stopped thinking about it .
If I really think too seriously about it, I'll just get a headache .
Afterwards, she dragged the bamboo board back to the wooden cabin at the southwest side by herself . When she returned to the side of the well, Situ Li was already gone, a white porcelain bottle being left in its place .
Su Xi-er bent down to pick it up and placed it into her sleeve . The children of the imperial household have a type of arrogance . If they have bestowed you something and you don't want it, they will throw it away .
It's such a great medicinal powder . What a waste if it's thrown away .
With the bottle of medicinal powder in her clothes, Su Xi-er returned to her room . After she freshened herself up slightly, she went to bed and slept .
I compensated with a kiss today . Hopefully Prince Hao will tell me where Ruo Yuan is tomorrow . Besides, the Third Imperial Prince will also investigate .
The next day, 7am, Compa . s . sionate Peace Palace
Pei Yaran rose early and ate breakfast with He Ying waiting upon her .
"What did Old Maidservant Liu say?" Pei Yaran took the handkerchief to wipe her mouth and asked with a solemn expression .
He Ying replied softly, "Old Maidservant Liu is older than Old Maidservant Zhao and has experienced many vicissitudes of life and turbulent times . She didn't take your instructions to heart at all, Empress Dowager . She only said…" At this point, He Ying stopped and observed the Empress Dowager's expression carefully .
Pei Yaran's expression darkened . "What did she say?"
"She only said that you are still too young . Su Xi-er didn't commit any crime, so deliberately punis . h . i . +ng her is not in accordance with the palace rules . "
Immediately, Pei Yaran raised her fair hand and smacked the table ferociously . A red mark instantly appeared on her wrist .
He Ying got anxious . "Empress Dowager, please don't be angry . We can use other methods to punish Su Xi-er . Naturally, Old Maidservant Liu is also included . "
Pei Yaran spoke with ire, "Old Maidservant Zhao is already dead, and Old Maidservant Liu can go along with her . To put it bluntly, she's just a servant who has always served her master . Moreover, she's a servant that has aged!"
"Empress Dowager, your body is delicate and precious . It's not worthwhile for you to be furious over such a person . If you want to punish Su Xi-er, it's very simple . Just directly order someone to secretly…" He Ying's voice became increasingly softer until finally, she was speaking into Pei Yaran's ear .
"This . . . won't do . If Prince Hao finds out about it, he would say that I'm abusing my power . " Pei Yaran bit her lips and shook her head .
This appearance of hers made people involuntarily recall that she was still eighteen years old; currently in the prime of her youth .
He Ying saw that the Empress Dowager was still hesitating so she informed her, "Prince Hao punished Old Maidservant Zhao with the planks until she died for Su Xi-er's sake . "
"What!" Pei Yaran's voice couldn't refrain her voice from becoming loud . Old Maidservant Zhao actually died like that . Why didn't He Ying tell me earlier?
"Empress Dowager, this servant was afraid that you wouldn't be able to endure this piece of news . Prince Hao has pa . s . sed the marriageable age, and is full of vitality and vigour . If Su Xi-er has the intention to seduce him, the consequences are unimaginable . "
Pei Yaran stood up immediately, her countenance vicious . "I absolutely can't let such a thing happen . Convey my verbal edict, summon Prince Hao to the palace . " Although he is my elder brother, I am the Empress Dowager of the nation, while he is a subject . On the surface, his position is not as high as mine . Of course, this would have to depend on whether Pei Qianhao is willing to put on a show .
