Even Xu Shi’s belly, the unborn child, was more important than her.
Because it could be a prince.
If it were a prince, the crisis of the Emperor having no heir could be resolved.
Therefore, both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were more concerned about Xu Shi’s pregnancy.
She guessed they were afraid that she would go after Xu Shi, but she didn’t make a move at all, so they remained wary of her.
She collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by a sense of crisis.
She absolutely could not let Xu Shi give birth to this child. Xu Shi had not even given birth yet, and her own situation was already precarious. Her father and grandmother were also so cold and wary of her.
If Xu Shi gives birth safely, will there still be a place for her to stay in the palace?
This time, it was my mother. Will Xu Shi target her next time?
She absolutely could not sit idly by and wait to die.
Princess Minghua concealed the resentment in her heart and prepared to enter the palace.
“Princess, would you like this outfit or something simpler?” The maid carefully brought over the clothes.
“You lowly servant!” Princess Minghua kicked her away.
“My mother is on the verge of death, what do you say! You stupid, lowly servant!”
Princess Minghua forgot that she had made this dress yesterday and that she had insisted on wearing it.
But news came from the palace today that Princess Minghua’s mother was seriously ill.
The Princess was known for her cruelty. So the nanny was unsure what to do and dared not step forward, so she sent this maid instead.
As a result, the maid was kicked by Princess Minghua until she vomited blood.
This maid was nothing more than a punching bag for the Princess.
“Beat this lowly servant girl to death with sticks.”
The Emperor sent secret guards to Princess Minghua’s side.
When he and Xu Lingyi learned of this, the Emperor merely frowned slightly and sighed.
“She was just too worried about her mother.”
The Emperor, being in a superior position, does not cherish this life. He was born high above and does not care about human life. The Emperor himself has killed many people, including his own relatives, as well as many servants and officials.
He could even find reasons for his daughter’s behavior.
Xu Lingyi was also born into a noble family.
If it weren’t for the events of her past life, and if her mother and sisters-in-law hadn’t been poisoned by the Princess, she wouldn’t have realized the problem.
Her environment made her feel that it was normal to execute servants of a lower status than herself.
Having power means being able to easily execute a person, a life.
But they didn’t know that, besides the Emperor, there were people of even higher status above them.
Only when the executioner’s blade falls upon you will you know the pain.
They didn’t know that this palace maid also had a family.
If she were the Emperor, she would only turn the sword against those who deserved to die, and she would never show mercy to her enemies.
She also agreed with the Emperor’s ruthless methods of seizing power.
But she wouldn’t treat those who shouldn’t have died, those innocent people, those innocent civilians, like they did.
She has limited abilities now and can’t change things, but she might be able to in the future…
