Chapter 940 - It's time to hold it high
Face? When Wanqiu heard this, she instinctively wanted to say something, but thinking of Concubine You's words, she forcibly suppressed all the emotions in her heart.
The master is inevitably too naΓ―ve, she is in the queen's place, where is there any face to speak of?
The queen had already relied on Her Majesty's favor and trampled her into the mud.
Face...
No matter how good a gift is, it's just a matter of being left aside and eaten with ashes. I'm afraid, even if you open it and show it to the queen, it's not a thing...
Late autumn was unwilling, and when she stepped back, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Concubine You.
But what caught the eye was Concubine You's bland expression.
The bad things she cared about, the other party didn't seem to pay attention to at all. Not only that, but the other party seems to be in the mood to appreciate their freshly trimmed nails?
Mother, is it... Everything was expected?
Late autumn was curious, but because he knew the rules, he didn't dare to ask more.
As soon as her eyes drooped, she walked out the door.
Hearing that the door was closed, Concubine You bent the corners of her mouth.
When there were no outsiders around, she involuntarily removed all her disguise.
The corners of her mouth were raised, her red lips were slightly curved, and a smile soon filled her entire face.
"Does face matter? Of course, face is important..."Concubine You chuckled, "If this palace doesn't save its face first, how can it hold the queen to the sky?" β
As she spoke, she gently stroked her sharp nails again: "If a person who does not stand on a high place falls, it will not hurt." Only stand on the top of the mountain first. After being pushed down again, she knew what it meant to be truly heart-wrenching! β
Concubine You held her five fingers, and her well-trimmed sharp nails were directly embedded in her palms.
But with the severe pain, it was still the smile on Concubine You's face.

The moon stars are scarce, and the autumn breeze is cool.
When Shen Lanxi woke up slowly, it was already late at night.
She struggled to prop open her heavy eyelids and wanted to get up, but after trying for a long time, she could only half-open her eyes and let out a low voice: "Hmm..."
"Lan Xi? Are you awake?! Xiao Ciyu was leaning on the side of the bed and pretending to sleep, as soon as he heard the movement, he quickly turned over and went to see Shen Lanxi, "How do you feel?" Does it still hurt? Is there anything uncomfortable? Do you want me to call the Imperial Doctor to come and see you again? β
A series of questions popped out of Xiao Ciyu's mouth.
As soon as the words fell, he patted his forehead again: "Look at me, what's the hurry?" You've just woken up now, and your body still needs to recover, so how can you answer me so much? β
As he spoke, Xiao Ciyu carefully helped Shen Lanxi up: "Come on, I'll help you up and drink some water first, and you can just slowly brush up your thoughts." β
"Hmm..."Shen Lanxi replied in a low voice, and let Xiao Ciyu help him to lean on the soft pillow.
The warm water touched his lips and soaked his throat, and the hoarse feeling finally faded.
"I'm hungry," Shen Lanxi said in a low voice.
Her voice was inaudible, but Xiao Ciyu, who had a heart on her, immediately understood what she meant: "Okay, I'll go and prepare, you can rest for a while." β
He got up in a hurry, didn't take two steps and came back to help Shen Lanxi get rid of the humiliation.
After confirming that the person was comforted, he left with peace of mind.
"This person..."Shen Lanxi couldn't help but bend his lips and smile when he saw Xiao Ciyu's back in a hurry.
If she hadn't known about her physical condition, she would probably have thought that she was already a terminally ill patient.
