Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 115 Taking Out Anger

Yin Ji still couldn't hold back and got up to go to the side hall.

The two maids sent by Cai Tianxi to watch over Xie Yun were embroidering outside the door in the sun.

It was a picture of a hundred years of longevity. It could be seen that the finished part was Xie Yun's work, probably used as a birthday gift for the Queen Mother.

When the master celebrated his birthday, the palace maids and eunuchs who were well-known had to express their gratitude, not only Xie Yun, but also Cai Tianxi and Qin Ma.

Given the status of the palace maids, the gifts they gave were naturally not expensive, but they were just for the sake of being thoughtful. If they won the Queen Mother's favour, they would be rewarded with hundreds of taels.

Xie Yun didn't want that little thing, and the things she gave were all standard, either a picture of a hundred years of longevity or a scripture. In short, they were not outstanding, but they would definitely not go wrong.

But in the past, she had done it herself, and this time, probably because of the injury on her hand, she could only hand it over to the subordinates.

In other words, the wound was not shallow.

He quickened his pace. When the two maids saw him coming, they stood up and were about to kneel. He raised his hand to stop them: "Don't make noise."

Xie Yun now shouldn't stop him from entering, nor would she be so stubborn as to refuse to show him her wound.

But he didn't want to see Xie Yun's almost fake calmness again.

The door of the inner room was half open, and there were faint voices coming out.

"Aunt, please bear with it. This medicine hurts a little."

"Yeah."

There was a rustling sound inside. It should be Xiuxiu applying medicine to Xie Yun. Yin Ji didn't hear Xie Yun's cry of pain, but when Xiuxiu spoke again, her voice was much softer: "I'm sorry, I'm clumsy, did I hurt you?"

Xie Yun spoke after a while: "It's okay, it's much better than the ruler."

Yin Ji couldn't remember when Xie Yun had been beaten with a ruler, and it took him a while to react. It was when she first entered the palace to learn the palace rules.

He was the one who sent her to learn the rules.

The ruler...

He rubbed his fingertips unconsciously. He wanted to go in, but now he couldn't move his legs. He sighed and retreated gently.

The two palace maids were still kneeling at the door. When they saw him come out, they lowered their heads.

"I haven't been here today."

The two of them lowered their heads and responded. Yin Ji then walked back to the main hall.

But he was still upset. He obviously came back because he couldn't stay in the imperial study, but who would have thought that he would feel more uneasy after coming back.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, forcing himself to look at the memorial. Only then did he find that it was a memorial submitted by the Ministry of Rites, saying that the Queen Mother was celebrating her birthday, and the vassal states such as Tatar and Rouran had prepared gifts and had already set off for the Great Zhou.

Yin Ji sighed. If foreign ministers were to come, someone had to be in charge of the palace. In previous years, there were no concubines in the palace, and the Queen Mother was in front and Xie Yun was behind. It was still acceptable, but this year it was not possible.
