Chapter 898 The Usurped Empress (7)
"Then how is the master going to deal with him when he wakes up? Does he need my help? I will make sure to use all kinds of torture on him in turn, and he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die." Suna suggested.
"There's no need for us to take action on this matter, just let her do it." Su Li raised his chin, referring to Lin Ruolan.
Soon, the eunuch of the Eastern Palace informed Lin Ruolan.
If Chou Nu wakes up tomorrow, Lin Ruolan will supervise him to work, chopping wood, fetching water, and cleaning the floor of the entire East Palace.
If the ugly slave cannot complete the task, Lin Ruolan will have to complete the remaining work together with the ugly slave and will not have any food to eat.
The supervisor was so kind as to leave her a cane that the supervisors usually used to punish disobedient servants.
Sure enough, Xie Yunxiao woke up the next day.
Seeing Lin Ruolan curled up in a circle wrapped in quilts at the end of the kang, there was a hint of doting in his eyes.
"Ruo, Ruo, Ruo...Lan..." He slowly moved over and held her in his arms.
"Pa!" The sound of slapping was heard.
Lin Ruolan, who was still half asleep, subconsciously slapped him and pushed him away, "You lowly slave, do you think you can touch me?"
She picked up a cane beside her and said, "Come on, get up and go to work when you wake up, don't implicate me!"
"You, you, hit, hit..." Xie Yunxiao had a look of disbelief on his face and stammered as he touched his aching arm.
"I beat you, so what? You are under my care now! From today on, you have to chop wood, fetch water, and clean the floor of the entire East Palace. If you fail to do these tasks, I will be punished with you. So hurry up and get to work!" Lin Ruolan put her hands on her hips and cursed harshly.
Xie Yunxiao was dumbfounded.
Why does Xiahou Xi torture himself like this?
If she knew my plan, she could just kill me directly. Why would she let me do all these dirty and tiring work?
He actually let Ruolan supervise him?
She knew clearly that Ruolan was pregnant!
And still tormenting them like this.
"Ruo, Ruolan, I, I I..." Xie Yunxiao wanted to reveal his identity to Lin Ruolan and wanted her to leave the East Palace as soon as possible.
However, when Lin Ruolan heard his stuttering words, she felt inexplicably irritated.
She raised the cane and said, "What do you mean by 'I'? Hurry up and get to work! Stop dawdling!"
Xie Yunxiao had never thought that Lin Ruolan, who was always so weak in front of him, would be like this when she couldn't recognize him.
The strong disgust and anger on her face ruined her originally beautiful appearance and added a hideous look to it.
"Don't, don't, hit me, I'll, do it." Xie Yunxiao, who was in pain from the beating, could only stammer as he lifted the quilt wrapped around himself.
"Ah! You, you are not purified? A slave who is not purified? How is it possible?"
Lin Ruolan immediately screamed and rushed out, "Someone come! This ugly slave has not been cleansed, there is something wrong with him, someone come quickly!"
Seeing this, Su Li smiled, "This Lin Ruolan is really silly and cute!"
It was simply a god's assist!
Seeing her scream sharply, Xie Yunxiao was also dumbfounded.
He quickly wrapped himself in the quilt and rushed out, trying to stop her before she called for help.
But, this is the Crown Princess's courtyard, how could there be no one guarding it?
Soon, the eunuch supervisor rushed over with a group of young eunuchs.
After they confirmed the facts, the eunuch supervisor signaled the young eunuchs to take Xie Yunxiao to the cleansing room.
"Since he needs to clean himself and rest for half a month, you should take care of his food and daily life during this half month! You can supervise his work when he comes back." Before leaving, the supervisor also took Lin Ruolan to another idle yard.
An hour later, the weak Xie Yunxiao was carried in by the eunuchs and placed on the bed. "Let's go. I leave this place to you! Someone will bring you and his food." After the man said this, he left.
Only Lin Ruolan and Xie Yunxiao, who had a dull look in his eyes, were left staring at each other.
"You, you, are so, so cruel..." After a long time, Xie Yunxiao spoke through gritted teeth.
He never expected it.
He died before he could accomplish his mission, and all his plans were shattered by the knife just now.
He even lost the joy of being a human being.
And his only child was in Lin Ruolan's belly.
So, no matter how much he hated her, he didn't dare to hurt her.
He even had to protect her.
As for being Xiahou Xi's imperial consort, letting her have her own child, let the child in Lin Ruolan's belly replace the bloodline of the Xiahou royal family.
He didn't dare think about all this anymore.
What he needed to think about was how to protect the child in his and Lin Ruolan's belly, and how to safely leave this terrible East Palace.
"What's so cruel about that? You're just a slave, but you dared to sneak into the East Palace without cleaning yourself. That's a capital crime. I'm just helping you!"
Lin Ruolan sat at the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and then said with disgust, "Ugh, what kind of tea is this? It's so unpalatable!"
However, in the following days, she could only drink this kind of coarse tea and eat bland meals that were tasteless.
Sometimes, it is two rough and hard-to-swallow multi-grain steamed buns with a bowl of mixed vegetable soup, and sometimes it is a bowl of extremely bitter mixed vegetable porridge with a plate of stir-fried vegetables.
This was unbearable for Xie Yunxiao and Lin Ruolan, who had always lived a life of luxury.
Lin Ruolan also went to protest to 'Xie Yunxiao', who was transformed by Su Na, but unfortunately she didn't even see him.
Instead, she was laughed at by a group of young eunuchs, "Do you really think you are the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lin? Now you are the same as us, serving in the palace, who is more noble than who!"
She had no choice but to stay in the small yard and eat the inedible food.
The most uncomfortable thing was not eating, but Xie Yunxiao's defecation and urination.
He couldn't move, so he could only change his clothes in time. He would dirty the bed if he wasn't careful.
Lin Ruolan had been suffering from morning sickness, and she felt extremely uncomfortable cleaning up these dirty things every day, vomiting all day long.
Fortunately, Su Li specifically asked Suna to secretly put some spiritual liquid in her food, which prevented her from having a miscarriage at the beginning of her pregnancy.
This spiritual liquid is not a spiritual spring, but is condensed from the dead monsters at the bottom of the sea.
This kind of thing has always been used for body training. If consumed, Su Li cannot guarantee that there will be any impact.
However, Lin Ruolan's appetite grew day by day, and her body shape began to change slowly.
Half a month later, Xie Yunxiao was finally able to get out of bed.
The Eastern Palace Supervisor appeared and asked Lin Ruolan to start doing what was not completed half a month ago.
So, every day she would take a cane and force Xie Yunxiao to chop wood, fetch water, and clean the floor.
After this incident, Xie Yunxiao lost all his spirit and his originally straight waist became hunched.
