Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“That’s great!”

This was said by the personal maid by the side of the Empress.

Seeing Jiang Peihuan look at her, she quickly spoke up, “Queen Cheng, please save the Empress.”

“Are you the personal maid of the Empress?”

“Ah Se has been my personal maid for many years.”

This was said by the Empress. The Empress saying this indicates that Ah Se is trustworthy. However, when Jiang Peihuan looked at Ah Se, her expression was very complicated. “The sachet on the girl smells very good. I wonder what kind of fragrance is inside?”

Hearing this, All Se’s face changed instantly.

In an instant, she pushed towards a nearby pillar. Ah Se reacted quickly, but she was no match for Xiao Nanye.

The man rushed forward, directly kicking Ah Se to the ground. She spat out blood immediately.

Lying on the ground, Ah Se wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, blood couldn’t stop pouring out.

The Empress, seeing this scene, was stunned.

It took her several seconds to recover and then she looked at Jiang Peihuan and whispered, “Huan Er, could the poison in me be related to Ah Se?”

The Empress, having risen to this position, was never a fool.

Looking at the scene before her, what else did she not understand?

Hearing the Empress’s words, Jiang Peihuan moved her gaze from Ah Se and looked back at the Empress, saying, “The reason why Your Royal Majesty feels headaches in autumn is because the scent from her sachet contradicts with pineilia, causing you to have headaches in autumn and fear the cold in winter.” “I’ve treated you well since you came to me at the age of five. 1 treated you like my own younger sister.”

“When your parents were seriously ill, 1 gave you money to see the doctor. How did 1 wrong you that you would betray me like the others?”

The Empress looked at Ah Se on the ground and spoke softly.

The Empress’s tone was very calm, but her eyes were slightly bloodshot.

Hearing the Empress’s words, guilt filled Ah Se’s eyes, but she remained silent.

Seeing this, the Empress was filled with anger, “Now, are you still going to protect your master?”

“Why should the Empress be upset over such a treacherous thing? In my opinion, throw her to the torture department. No matter how tough she is, can she endure those tortures?”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, All Se trembled but remained silent.

Seeing this, the mockery in Xiao Nanye’s eyes deepened, “Choosing punishment over admitting.”

After speaking, Xiao Nanye directly drew his sword.

As he approached Ah Se, there was a flash of light from the sword, and then All Se screamed, because Xiao Nanye had cut off one of her fingers.

Seeing this, both the Empress and Jiang Peihuan showed no change in expression.

Xiao Nanye’s patience had worn thin, he looked at All Se and said directly, “You still won’t speak?”

As he finished speaking, another of All Se’s fingers was severed.

By the time Xiao Nanye raised his sword for the third time, All Se spoke in a hoarse voice, “1, I’ll speak.”

Hearing this, Xiao Nanye put away his sword and stood next to Jiang Peihuan.

Seeing that Jiang Peihuan showed no signs of disgust or disdain, he looked relieved.

“Your Royal Majesty, the poison inside you was given by… the Madam.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Hearing All Se words, fury filled the Empress’s eyes.

Without waiting for Ah Se to speak, the Empress interjected, “My mother has always been kind to me. How could she poison me?”

As if remembering something, pain appeared in the Empress’s eyes.

Ah Se continued, “Madam is naturally kind to you. But have you forgotten? The third young lady is the madam’s biological daughter.”

“Although madam is your aunt, between you and the third young lady, she naturally loves her own daughter more.”

“If not for the third young lady being too young back then, she would have entered the palace instead of you. But as the third young lady grew older, the idea of replacing you never disappeared from the madam’s heart.”

“Replace? How does she intend to replace?”

“Pineilia is a chronic poison. However, any poison is harmful to the body. In at most three more years, you will be beyond medical help.”

Before Ah Se could speak, Jiang Peihuan, standing next to Xiao Nanye, softly interrupted.

And the Empress, hearing this, was utterly bewildered.

Once, she had someone she deeply loved, but for the glory of her family, she decisively entered the palace.

Although she was the Empress, she had been schemed against many times in the past few years.

However, when she thought of the people behind her, she gritted her teeth and held on.

It was just that she had never thought that the person who wanted to harm her the most was actually the person she wanted to protect.

How could she believe this?

“All Se, seeing that we have been master and servant for many years, I will only ask you one thing. Does father know about this?”

At this moment, although the eyes of the Empress were still full of pain, her face had regained its usual composure.

Hearing the Empress’s words, All Se trembled but ultimately remained silent, only bowing her head.

However, when the Empress saw All Se’s lowered her head, the emotions she had just collected welled up again, bringing tears to her eyes.

Silence means consent.

So, her father actually knew about it?

“Heh, haha…”

“Your Royal Majesty?”

The Empress laughed, and as she did, she suddenly collapsed to the side.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan hurriedly stepped forward to support the Empress.

After settling her on a soft couch, Jiang Peihuan quickly took out her silver needles.

Inserting the needles into the Empress’s head, Jiang Peihuan carefully observed her complexion.

After a while, the Empress’s head was full of silver needles, but she opened her eyes.

As she was about to move, Jiang Peihuan held her hand, “Please don’t move, let me continue with the acupuncture.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, the Empress didn’t respond but lay quietly.

“Huan Er, may 1 come in?”

Since it was the Empress’s chamber, Xiao Nanye stood guard outside. Hearing the sound inside, he asked softly.

“Come in.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Xiao Nanye walked in confidently.

Seeing the exhausted empress, Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Peihuan and asked, “How is the imperial sister-in-law?”

“She has a heart condition due to overexertion. I’m administering acupuncture to her. You should send someone to fetch a bottle of Heart Nourishing Pills from the mansion.”

“Alright.”

After hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xiao Nanye immediately turned and left.

After Xiao Nanye’s departure, Jiang Peihuan lowered her head to look at the Empress and whispered, “Your Royal Majesty, you must take care of your health. Think about the Seventeenth Princess. She’s only eight.. Without you protecting her, how hard will her life be in this palace?”
