Chapter 2

I clenched my palm tightly.

"So, did you do it for Lady Miao to have a son?"

"Not bad." Sister Shu's lips curved, "Yun Zhi, don't think that you are the only one in the family who can pray for blessings."

"The blessing order is in my hands, and I can do it too!"

"Do you know -"

"What do you know?" Sister Shu interrupted me with a disdainful expression on her face. "I only know that I can do things you can't do. Keep the people you can't keep, but it's you. Just wait to change the life of that fetus!"

"Don't worry, that day will come and I will make your life worse than death!"

She shook her sleeves and left, her posture unrestrained.

I pressed against my chest.

Sister, if you have a stillborn baby in your belly, how can you change your life?

You know, even if I die, there is no chance that the fetus will survive.

Miao Guifei, this birth is strange. I dragged Ah Ruo to inquire.

As evening approached, Aruo had not yet returned.

Finally, there was a commotion outside the courtyard. I looked up and saw that Ah Ruo was heavily thrown to the ground by the guards.

The emperor looked at me with fiery eyes.

"Yun Zhi, what explanation do you want?"

Ah Ruo begged for mercy continuously, "Emperor, spare your life! I really got lost and ran to Lady Miao's palace!"

The emperor just gave a glance, and the guards wrapped around Ah Ruo's mouth.

I immediately turned pale and slowly knelt down on the ground. "Emperor, please forgive me. Everything was my idea and has nothing to do with Aruo," I said

The emperor pinched my face.

"Breaking your arm is not honest, I should have cut off your tongue too!"

"Losing one child is not enough to harm Miaoer. Do you still want to harm this child? Yun Zhi, after two years in the military camp, I couldn't erase your dirty temperament!"

Dirty?

I closed my eyes and realized that explaining was useless.

"I beg the emperor to calm down and forgive the lowly slaves."

The emperor sneered, "I will forgive you. After all, you have a despicable life, and you still have to keep it for my emperor's son, but this lowly servant..."

The emperor scanned Aruo, and I panicked.

"Emperor! Ah Ruo doesn't know anything, please let Ah Ruo go!"

He seems to have been prepared long ago.

"Tell me to let go of this lowly servant. You can pray for the prince in Miaoer's womb and bring good fortune to appear. Then I will spare this lowly servant."

I was stunned.

The emperor frowned and said, "Why don't you want to?"

I froze there.

Your Majesty, do you not know?

Da Siming has broken his body and will no longer have divine power.

In the past two years, I have been under men day and night, like a useless person.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's that the blessing order has recognized the national teacher as the master. The national teacher has not died, so I can't use the blessing order anymore."

The emperor was extremely displeased and said, "So what do you know? Serving men?"

He maliciously humiliated me by tearing off my clothes, leaving marks all over my body, which made his eyes red.

He pushed me to the stone table, and I finally realized what he was going to do. I quickly begged for mercy and said, "The emperor has let go of the lowly slave! The lowly slave's body is dirty!"

Ah Ruo sobbed incessantly, and in public, the emperor took action.

Afterwards, he still dressed neatly, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"No wonder she lost her position as the Grand Marshal and became a promiscuous woman. Grand Marshal is indeed exceptionally talented."

I was thrown into the courtyard, and Ah Ruo cried and draped a robe over me.

"Da Siming..."

I know what she's going to say, shake my head at her.

I am just a prostitute in the military, with withered flowers and withered willows.

Ah Ruo, I am not worth your pity.
