YM778.TV Chapter 116
Grand Dowager Empress frowned but did not think much of it, after all this was her favourite spot and she was used to keeping her things under the window most probably the window pane that was opened because of the wind knocked the books down together with the other things, she turned to look at Xiao Mimi who was already on her way to pick those things up and then nodded in appreciation, this was why she liked this servant girl of hers.
She knew exactly what she wanted and what she needed to do and when.
So, when Xiao Mimi finished picking up the things from the ground, The grand dowager Empress didn’t give her a hard time about it, the window pane have been loose for ages and they would open at the slightest amount of wind, Zhai Tianyu has been asking to have then fixed for a very long time but the Grand Dowager Empress has been the one who was refusing him all along.
” Your majesty, you should get those panes repaired before the winter,” said Xiao Mimi as she walked back to where Grand Dowager Empress was sitting and then placed her hands on the shoulders of Grand dowager Empress as she started massaging her shoulders. ” This one does not worry about herself but if you don’t have them repaired then you will be definitely troubled, we can’t let you catch a cold when your health is not good, to begin with, your majesty.”
” Yes, Yes ... I will see what I can do,” Grand Dowager Empress sighed as she took one side look at the window pane. ” I don’t mind them getting repaired but the carpenters make the lock too stiff for me to open.”
” You don’t need to worry about that your majesty,” replied Xiao Mimi as she picked up a small porcelain bottle and then poured a generous amount of oil into the palm of her hand and then placed it back on the table before rubbing her hands together as she started to rub the shoulders of the Grand Dowager Empress. ” If you find it troublesome then Xiao Mimi will wake an hour earlier to open it for you, all you need to do is call for Xiao Mimi, I will be here to serve you no matter what.”
” Aish, you are such a wonderful servant and then there were those maids,” the Grand Dowager Empress’s mouth was once again filled with distaste when she remembered those two maids who made Ji Yu unable to become a mother by poisoning her. ” If they have fallen in my hands then I wouldn’t have killed the so easily, I would have skinned them alive!”
” You don’t need to worry about that your majesty,” Xiao Mimi pressed her thumbs on the acupressure points behind the neck of the grand dowager Empress. ” I heard that the Empress was really cruel, she ripped the heart of the maid who poisoned Concubine Ji.”
.....
” That is the most surprising thing,” Grand Dowager Empress frowned with her lips pursued even more as she thought about what she has heard this afternoon. ” If someone else other than Yu’er told me that the Empress saved her I would have never believed them. For the Liu family to suddenly save someone from the Ji family, this is simply beyond what I cannot even comprehend.”
This was something that Xiao Mimi couldn’t understand either but since she wasn’t asked and didn’t have anything to say she decided to stay silent as she rubbed the shoulders of the Grand Dowager Empress and then placed the small jade stone with which she was massaging the shoulders and neck of the Grand Dowager Empress only then did she walk in front of the Grand Dowager Empress and then placed her hand in front of her and said, ” This one thinks that your majesty should not stress yourself because of such things, you should take some sleep and calm your heart. This one believes that Concubine Ji won’t be happy if your majesty keeps worrying about her by putting her life on the line.”
Grand Dowager Empress sighed as she rose from her chair with the help of Xiao Mimi and then walked back to her bed where she sat down and then took the medicines that Xiao Mimi has poured out for her from the bottles that were given by the imperial physicians.
” I just can’t help but feel sorry for Yu’er, without a child she will have a hard time protecting herself and what’s even more troublesome is that she won’t be able to become the Empress,” Grand Dowager Empress’s heart was weighing down because of this worry, now without Ji Yu’s child they will not succeed in dethroning the Empress and this worry was eating her heart up. She could never let the family who killed her son stay on top!
” Don’t worry, your majesty, this one believes that the Emperor wouldn’t let this matter rest just like he will do everything in his power to heal Concubine Ji,” replied Xiao Mimi as she helped the grand Dowager Empress lie down on the bed and then stood up from the floor before she walked over to the end of the room and then blew out the candle that was flickering in the candle stand and then bowed to grand dowager empress before walking out of the room and closing the door behind her.
The room immediately drowned in darkness with only the light of the moon coming from the window that was covered with a woven wicker curtain. Grand Dowager Empress closed her eyes prepared to sleep when she heard the sound of something thumping against the floor.
