Chapter 32: Punished to Kneel
A slight wordplay on two words that sound the same and is written almost the same.
Looks like, she must think of a way herself.
His Majesty’s attitude towards this Empress Dowager is to see, hear, and obey after all.
Of course, except for major events.
“You are Su Shi Chang’s eldest daughter?” Without letting Su Qi Qi stand up, the Empress Dowager coldly questioned.
Those pair of severely cold eyes stunned Su Qi Qi for a moment. Her heart tightened, she told herself to be prudent, otherwise she will have to endure physical punishment again.
“Replying Empress Dowager niang niang, yes.” Su Qi Qi submissively replied.
Trying hard to make herself calm.
“ai jia” is a very specific term to refer to oneself that only a widowed empress uses.
Lightly frowning, Su Qi Qi calmly agreed.
“But you are her daughter, so you should atone for her wrongs. Before the sky turns dark, you are not allowed to leave. Go ahead and kneel.” The Dowager Empress threw down these words and turned to leave.
Only leaving Su Qi Qi to kneel alone on the grass. She felt her legs going a bit numb, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
She bitterly laughed silently to herself, the person her mother provoked was actually Empress Dowager niang niang, seriously who could have been able to tell? A weak and delicate woman like her mother, did she even have such nerves?
Everything here is too complicated.
Mo Wen Chen who had returned to Bie Courtyard didn’t see any traces of Su Qi Qi. His heart felt unhappy and originally he wanted to send someone to find Su Meng Ru to demand the person back but the spy he left behind actually reported that Su Qi Qi was kept behind by the Empress Dowager.
For this time, Mo Wen Chen also had no way of demanding the person from the Empress Dowager and could only anxiously wait inside Bie courtyard.
His heart was restless and worried. Growing up inside the palace from childhood, he understood the Empress Dowager’s personal character the most. He doesn’t know how Su Qi Qi could have strung up a relationship with the Empress Dowager, but he know that this time will be full of thorns.
Kneeling all the way until the sky turned heavily dark, Su Qi Qi finally slowly go up. It was just that she had knelt for too long and both her legs had already turned completely numb and wouldn’t listen to commands. She only took one step before her entire body fell to the floor.
Suddenly the door opened wide. The Empress Dowager walked in with slow graceful steps, a faint smile on her face. From the point of view of outsiders, it was full of benevolence, but from Su Qi Qi’s point of view, it was extremely cold and merciless.
If she could, she would definitely have Su Qi Qi torn into ten thousand pieces.
Really don’t know what kind of hate it was, that would cause this woman to become like this.
“That’s enough, continue tomorrow.” Seeing Su Qi Qi’s sorry figure fallen on the floor and the habitual submissive expression on her face, the expression of resigning herself and submitting meekly to insult made Empress Dowager niang niang very pleased. Nodding her head, she indicated that she could leave.
No palace maids stepped forward to help her up, they all just coldly watched. Su Qi Qi used her hands to support herself as she stood up with great difficulty, but she didn’t dare to use too much time to avoid angering Empress Dowager niang niang again.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Many thanks, Empress Dowager niang niang.” Su Qi Qi still gritted her teeth and kowtowed, giving thanks before limping away.
There was a muffled pain in her chest. Lifting her head to look at the sky, she doesn’t know what it was that she did wrong, for her life to be so unfortunate like this.
She did not cry, she just felt that the road ahead was a mass of pitch-black.
This incident, she cannot mention it to anyone, because she was afraid her mother would be worried.
