<h4>CHAPTER 7: KICKED THIS PRINCE</h4>
Without caring about the pain, He Xiangyu immediately raised her hand to touch her face. In the Beauty Pce, appearance was more important than anything else. If a scar was left on her visage, she would be done for.

When she saw the blood on her hand, He Xiangyu’s eyes widened and she red straight at Su Xi-er. “You actually scratched my face! I''ll ensure you bear the consequences!” She raised her hand to instruct the pce maids to take Su Xi-er down.

Since there was now irrefutable ‘evidence’, Old Maidservant Zhao didn’t do anything to prevent the pce maids from seizing Su Xi-er and looked like she was going to watch on from the sidelines.

However, no one had expected that despite the fact a few pce maids surrounding Su Xi-er, they were still unable to capture her after repeatedly floundering for a long time.

“Trash!” He Xiangyu couldn’t contain her anger. She wanted tomand the imperial bodyguards but didn’t have the power. Prince Hao had only sent a few pce maids to wait upon her.

“He Xiangyu, why are you certain that it was me who scratched your face?” Su Xi-er halted her footsteps and looked at He Xiangyu with an unperturbed expression. It was as if she was watching a clown ying antics1.

“It can’t be that I used a hairpin to scratch my own face, right?”

Su Xi-er chuckled. “You can’t say that for sure. Just now, everyone witnessed that it was you who pulled out the hairpin from your hair bun and dashed towards me. However, things didn’t go as you wished and you were hoisted by your own petard instead.”

A simple few sentences caused He Xiangyu to bepletely speechless, only able to re at her helplessly.

“Harbour no ill intentions to others. Perhaps, after ying with fire for so long, you yourself have been burned.” The smile on Su Xi-er’s face deepened. The pce maids standing in the surroundings could not help but widen their eyes.

Is she...still Su Xi-er?

Far away, He Ying spotted this scene and narrowed her eyes. This Su Xi-er is as beautiful as flowers, has a glib tongue, and doesn’t panic when she encounters problems. Such a person should either stay in the Pce Side Quarters forever...or eliminated as soon as possible.

Old Maidservant Zhao had sharp eyes that discovered He Ying. She immediately called out, “Miss He, why have you returned to the Pce Side Quarters?”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
He Ying smiled as she walked in, her gazending on He Xiangyu. “The Empress Dowager has summoned you to the Compassionate Peace Pce. Follow me there right away.”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
As soon as He Xiangyu heard that the Empress Dowager was summoning her for an audience, she involuntarily became nervous. I never had any interactions with the Empress Dowager. Why am I being summoned to the Compassionate Peace Pce?

“Quickly follow me, and wipe away the blood on your face.” He Ying took out a handkerchief and ced it in He Xiangyu’s hand without paying any attention to her at all.

As long as she was the Empress Dowager’s head pce maid, any old-maidservant-in-charge of any pce would have to treat her with respect.

Even ministers had to show some courtesy when they met He Ying.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
He Xiangyu took the handkerchief and wiped away the bloodstains on her face. Her heart was overflowing with mes of fury. She hade to the Pce Side Quarters to disy her might and reflect her nobility. Now that Su Xi-er and He Ying have messed it up, what other awe-inspiring might is there to speak of?
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Old Maidservant Zhao, this pce maid doesn’t know her ce. You should discipline her more.” As she was speaking, her gaze fell on Su Xi-er.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“This old servant will definitely discipline her properly. Su Xi-er, your punishment is to sweep the whole of the Pce Side Quarters! Wash all the chamber pots at night, and you’re not allowed to sleep.” Old Maidservant Zhao chastised her in a stern voice and pointed towards the back.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er didn’t say anything. She nodded lightly and left. My current position is extremely low. It is still fine if I am dealing with He Xiangyu and Old Maidservant Zhao, but if I confront He Ying head-on, nothing good woulde out of it.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Old Maidservant Zhao, this pce maid, you can’t keep her.” Before He Ying left, she lowered her head and whispered to Old Maidservant Zhao.

As Old Maidservant Zhao looked at Su Xi-er’s gaunt retreating figure, she began to contemte. Even He Ying could see hertent danger. It looks like Beimin’s imperial pce may change because of her.

If I don’t keep her, life in the future would be like stagnant water. If I keep her, that would be disobeying He Ying.

Su Xi-er directly walked to the area where the brooms were ced. She hadn’t missed the purposeful looks that Miss He had given her before thetter had left. It looks like I will have to take extra precaution in the future.

When she was sweeping, all the pce maids in the Pce Side Quarters had avoided her, afraid that they would be infected by her bad luck if they got close to her.

She dismissed it with augh. After she finished sweeping this area, she moved on to another area. Soon, without her even noticing, night had already fallen. On the other hand, she was neither hungry nor had she realised that she was already no longer within the boundaries of the Pce Side Quarters.

As she raised her head to look at the round moon in the night sky, the rim of her eyes suddenly moistened. Once, she had often admired the moon with Lü Liu. At that time, Lü Liu had even made fun of her, “Eldest Imperial Princess, you’re cold to other people. I wonder how General Yun won you over?”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
General Yun...Yun Ruofeng. She thought about the arrow that had flown through the air. That arrow had thoroughly caused her to crumble into pieces.

Su Xi-er clenched her fists tightly. A tremendous amount of rancour was present in her eyes.

She was immersed in her memories to the point that she didn’t notice the footsteps that were gradually approaching her.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“From which pce?” A husky man’s voice sounded.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er was taken aback. She immediately collected her thoughts back and turned around. When she saw the man before her clearly, she was startled again.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
The man wore his long hair loose, adorning himself with ck robes that had snake designs woven into them. His long and narrow red phoenix eyes2 were as deep as bottomless wells. There was a scent of wine on him, and drops of wine stains on his lips flickered under the light. With his robes slightly opened, it faintly revealed his taut skin.

“From which pce?” he repeated. His eyes were slightly narrowed as they overflowed with danger.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Judging from his apparel, this man is probably a wealthy and respectable person; but he also has the appearance of a hedonistic son of aristocratic parents. Who on earth is he?

“You’re not speaking. Are you a mute?” He chuckled in a low voice. At the same time, he was about to pinch her chin.

He’s really a hedonistic son of wealthy parents, drinking in the night anding out to flirt with pce maids.

Su Xi-er immediately took a step back and looked at him coldly.

“You have an unexpectedly obstinate temper. This prince likes it.” He walked closer to her. The scent of wine emanating from his whole body mixed with the night breeze and wafted into her nose.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
This prince? It looks like he’s some ignorant and ipetent prince in Beimin.

“Try taking another step back.” His deep and low voice was filled with intimidation.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Although Su Xi-er hadn’t uttered a single word until now, his sentence caused her memories to surge forth violently like a tide.

That night, Yun Ruofeng had pressed her against the tree trunk and told her, “Try taking another step back.” Then, he kissed her. Although nothing happened between the two of them afterwards, she still remembered that kiss.

Su Xi-er didn’t know when the man before her had forced her to the tree trunk. Just as he lowered his head and wanted to kiss her, she immediately woke up with a start.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
She ced her hands on his chest and exerted her strength, her pair of eyes still filled with coldness.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Do you believe that this prince will want you here today?” His tone was bantering.

“I don’t want you,” Su Xi-er lightly spat.

“In this world, there’s nothing I can’t obtain if I want it.” Moreover, it’s just a woman.

His words were full of arrogance. His disposition alone was enough to irritate her.

Su Xi-er lowered her head slightly and cast a nce at the weakest ce on a man’s body. He has drunk so he is definitely not as alert as he usually is. Furthermore, it’s nighttime. As long as I rapidly escape, he definitely won’t recognise who I am.

With such a thought, she immediately raised her head. The coldness in her eyes was no longer present, having been reced by a charming expression.

When he saw her soft and tender appearance, the man’s eyes narrowed.

Su Xi-er caught hold of the opportune moment to lift her right leg and kick towards that ce of his. After that, she instantly turned around to flee.

She hadn’t gotten far before her cor was pulled by someone from behind.

“You want to leave after kicking this prince at that ce?” He exerted the strength in his arms and flung her onto the ground heavily.
