Yaoyao was taken aback. It took one look to realize this palace maid was being antagonistic toward her and she found it a little baffling. "If you really want to know, go ahead and ask your Emperor. He will tell you the answer."
The palace maid's expression turned dark when she heard this. She was quite unhappy. "What sort of attitude is this?"
"What's wrong with my attitude?" Yaoyao blinked. "Weren't you the one who showed your bad attitude first?"
"You need to be taught a lesson. Slap her!" The palace maid's face darkened as she shouted.
All the other palace maids snapped out of it when they heard her shout.
They had usually looked to her as the leader and now that she was about to punish this girl, no one dared to go against her even though they did not really want to do it.
Two palace maids imdiately rolled up their sleeves as they attempted to grab Yaoyao.
Yaoyao imdiately thought this to be fun when she saw this.
She had never seen any arrogant palace maids in the Palace of Great Shang, and she found it surprising to see one here.
None of the palace maids in Great Shang's Palace would ever be brazen enough to hit soone this way without good reason.
It was not because of her mother's cruel ruling, but her father.
Her father's na alone halted the servants from daring to behave out of line. They kept to the rules all the ti and did not dare harbor any malicious intentions.
A batch of new palace maids was brought into the Palace a few years ago. One of them was nad Wan'er, and she was sent to work at Grand Phoenix Palace. She saw Yaoyao's father often and thought herself to be a young, pretty thing. One day, while Yaoyao's mother was not around, she tried to seduce her father while serving him tea.
She did not even manage to touch the corner of Yaoyao's father's robe before her father ordered Wan'er to be flogged to death.
Her father had done a clean job of executing the order. Even though her mother did not find out about it, he managed to use this incident to serve as a warning to the other people working in the Palace. Since then, no one has dared harbor any desires for him.
She had never expected to et such an arrogant palace maid in Beitang You's palace.
There was a flash in her eye. Before the palace maids could get their hands on her, she suddenly leaped and landed on the rooftop. After that, she made a face at the maid-in-waiting. "Didn't you want to teach a lesson? Co up here. I'm waiting for you." With that, she sat cross-legged on the roof, looking quite calm and composed.
The maid-in-waiting's face turned green. She had never expected that little wretch to know Light Body Skill.
If she had let this go after being challenged in public, how could she ever continue maintaining her authority in the Palace and berate her subordinates as usual?
The maid-in-waiting's chest heaved heavily and she instructed her junior palace maids in a grim voice, "What are you still standing there for? Inform the palace guards right now that an assassin has made her way in here. Get them here quickly to arrest her."
"Yes." A palace maid imdiately left to get this done.
The maid-in-waiting looked at Yaoyao, who was sitting on the rooftop, and sneered. "If you co down right now and ask for my forgiveness, I will let this go, but if you continue to stay stubborn, you will be arrested by the palace guards for the cri of being an assassin."
Yaoyao pretended to look frightened. "Don't scare that way. I'm quite cowardly."
There was a cold look in the maid-in-waiting's eyes. A smile appeared on her lips. "I would advise you to be good and co down, little girl. That way, you would need to suffer any physical torture."
"Would I really be spared if I go down? I don't think so. I would probably lose my life if I went down right now." Yaoyao had already seen through the cruel thoughts hidden by the maid-in-waiting's smile.
The expression on the maid-in-waiting changed. "You refuse to take my offer when I'm trying to be nice and you're even second-guessing my intentions. How insolent!"
She had just said this when a few palace guards ca by. She quickly pointed to the rooftop where Yaoyao was and said to the palace guards, "Hurry up and get that little wretch. No one knows where she ca from. Be quiet about it and don't alert His Majesty."
