Seeing everyone in the room looking at him, Li Fu came back to his senses and looked at his hands in disbelief.
In the morning, the prince got angry because someone said something disrespectful to the princess. He didn't know what the prince's attitude towards the princess was now, and he felt mixed emotions for a while.
He secretly took a look at Ye Chuyan and saw that she was lying on the bed with empty eyes. She seemed to be unable to hear the movement from the outside world, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to continue scolding Bai Zhi, there was a loud slap on the face, making his ears roar.
"This princess is not dead yet, so it's not your turn to be a slave and beat me up!"
Ye Chuyan stood up at some point. Her face was pale, but her icy eyes were so bright that she glanced around in a circle, making people want to retreat.
Ye Chuyan, who was lying on the bed, was awakened by this slap.
When my father and brother were sentenced to death, their dignity was already lost, so what's the use of having a thin coffin or not?
Her mother, sister-in-law and other female members of the Ye family all depended on her for survival.
Bai Zhi has been trying her best to keep her alive these days, and now she vows to protect her to the death.
What is she doing? Was he knocked down by Zhao Yujiao's words?
Now she not only has to live well, she also has to keep her position as a princess so that she can protect the remaining people around her.
Although she was injured, she was a martial arts practitioner after all. The slap she gave Li Fu with all her strength just now made half of Li Fu's face more swollen than Bai Zhi, and there was a faint trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Li Fu is nearly fifty this year. He has been a housekeeper in the Qing Palace for half his life. He considers himself to be highly virtuous and respected. He usually thinks that he is half the master of the Qing Palace, consciously or unconsciously, and has never been beaten or scolded by him.
After Ye Chuyan became the princess, she had never been harsh on anyone. This was the first time she got angry and took action.
Everyone in the room was in an uproar for a while.
Before everyone could react, Ye Chuyan turned around and looked at Zhao Yujiao with a sinister look, and stepped forward step by step.
Zhao Yujiao was so stunned by Ye Chuyan's destructive eyes that her hair stood on end and her scalp was numb. She hurriedly slid her wheelchair back and said, "Sister, you...you...what do you want to do..."
Ye Chuyan raised the corners of his mouth, smiled strangely, raised his hand and slapped Zhao Yujiao until he almost rolled to the ground.
"This slap to you is heartless and unjust to the Ye family. If something happens to the Ye family, you come here to add insult to injury. From now on, I, Ye Chuyan, will sever all ties with you."
After saying that, he slapped him with his backhand again, and it was a clean and crisp blow.
"This slap is to make you remember not to provoke me in the future, let alone be arrogant in front of me. As long as I, Ye Chuyan, remain a concubine for one day, you will never act wild in front of me!"
Zhao Yujiao covered her face, unable to hold back any longer, pointing her finger at Ye Chuyan, shaking for a long time, "You...you...you..." Fear and anger left her speechless.
She didn't understand why Ye Chuyan still had so much strength after being seriously injured and half dead.
She looked around and saw that all the slaves were dumbfounded. Even Li Fu was covering his face with horror in his eyes, and no one dared to step forward. No one can help her at this moment.
Ye Chuyan gave Hongying a hard look again, "Why don't you push your master away!"
Hongying woke up from a dream, rolled and crawled out of the hands of the servant who was holding her, pushed Zhao Yujiao away in a hurry, as if there was a ghost chasing behind her, pushing Zhao Yujiao faster and faster.
Only then did Li Fu react and knelt down and kowtowed, "Princess, this old slave has lost his temper. I hope you will forgive me!"
Ye Chuyan raised her chin and said softly: "Oh~ you still know that I am the princess?"
Li Fu kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, "Princess, please forgive me. Princess, please forgive me. It was because I was anxious that I accidentally hit Miss Bai Zhi."
Ye Chuyan looked down at Li Fu who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "Remember, even if the Ye family falls, I, Ye Chuyan, will still be the princess!"
How dare Li Fu do it again now? He hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake. Only when blood oozed from his forehead did Ye Chuyan let him get up. Then he asked Li Fu why he brought people here?
Li Fu answered truthfully that he was here to deliver new slaves and rare medicinal materials to the princess on the prince's order.
After hearing this, Ye Chuyan's lips curled up slightly and she sneered again and again.
Pei Xiuyan was really good. After the confinement was lifted, he replaced all the slaves in the courtyard with new ones. This was a different way to spy on her.
He also ordered people to send him precious medicinal herbs. He was so coquettish and disgusting.
Pei Xiuyan wanted to gain a good reputation with the outside world, but he wanted to treat her well internally before continuing to humiliate her.
Since Pei Xiuyan wanted to build an archway, she would cooperate well.
She took all the servants and medicinal materials as ordered.
From the time she married into the Qing Prince's Palace, she was accustomed to Bai Zhi's personal service, and there were very few other maids left in the house.
So, she arranged all the new slaves in the yard, and warned: Except Bai Zhi, no one else is allowed to enter the house without her permission.
The slaves had already been restrained by Ye Chuyan's behavior just now. No one dared to make any mistakes and they all performed their duties obediently.
After Li Fu left, only Bai Zhi and Ye Chuyan were left in the room. Ye Chuyan couldn't hold on any longer, spit out a mouthful of blood, and leaned back.
Her miscarriage and rib injuries were not healed, and she had been exposed to the cold at the execution ground. Her body was already extremely weak, and she was at the end of her tether just now.
Bai Zhi yelled, went up to support Ye Chuyan, and placed Ye Chuyan on the bed to lie down. While wiping the blood from the corners of Ye Chuyan's mouth, she tried to sniff to prevent herself from crying.
"Princess, I don't deserve this from you. We can't protect ourselves now. You offended Zhao Yujiao and beat Li Fu for my slave today. What will you do in the future when you are in the house?"
Bai Zhi started to shed tears as she spoke.
"Princess, all slaves are incompetent. If this slave has martial arts, I will beat Zhao Yujiao to death today, and no one will bully you again..."
Ye Chuyan was moved and wanted to laugh by Bai Zhi's words.
"Bai Zhi, don't blame yourself. I beat them today, not only for you, but also for myself. If you really kill Zhao Yujiao, then you have violated the national law, and I really can't protect you."
Bai Zhi has a twin sister Bai Qi, and they have taken care of her since childhood. Later, Bai Qi died of illness, leaving Bai Zhi alone. At that time, she secretly swore in her heart that she would treat Bai Zhi well in this life.
She gently touched Bai Zhi's face, "Does it hurt?"
Bai Zhi wiped her tears and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt." With a master like the princess, she was willing to die.
She was afraid that Ye Chuyan would feel sorry for her, so she quickly turned her head and wiped away her tears.
"Princess, the prince has sent a lot of precious medicinal materials. I will prepare some medicine for you."
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Li Fu arranged everything and came out of Ye Chuyan's yard, covering his face all the way with a gloomy expression.
He had watched Pei Xiuyan grow up, and even Pei Xiuyan had never hit him.
Today, Ye Chuyan actually slapped him in the face in front of so many people. Very good, he took note of this account!
As soon as he returned to his residence, a servant came to report.
"Housekeeper, Miss Zhao cut her wrists and committed suicide. Fortunately, Miss Hongying found out in time and rescued her. She is crying and desperate to survive. No one can stop her. Go and have a look!"
