Empress, she is rising step by step

The palace man flicked his sleeves and left with a gloomy look on his face.

"You..." Yue Ran was furious and wanted to catch up and argue, but Cao Wenxi grabbed her arm.

"Okay, don't mess with this kind of person."

"Master, that bitch slave just wanted to bully you so wantonly because you were easy to talk to. At this time, what do you have to worry about? Even if you slap his mouth, he will only dare to endure it."

Yueran couldn't help but blame Cao Wenxi in her heart. Not only had she not had a good life since she followed her master, but she had suffered all kinds of humiliation.

But Weiyang Palace is clean and bright, which is as cold and dilapidated as Tangli Palace.

"You didn't hear what he said was the emperor's intention, even if the emperor didn't ask them to do this to me. What can I do? I can't change it. Even if you win the argument with him, you are just humiliating yourself."

How could Cao Wenxi not hate or complain? She also knew her integrity and self-respect. But she is not favored, and those servants who look down on others will naturally not take her seriously.

She could only wait. If God had mercy on her, he would definitely not disappoint her.

"Yueran, are you blaming me?"

How could Yueran tell the truth, "I don't have that. I'm just fighting for you. People are cheap. The more pleasant and talkative you are, the less they will take it seriously."

"It's because of my incompetence as a master that, in addition to being ill, I make you suffer with me."

Cao Wenxi didn't want to study whether what Yueran said was true or false. No one is perfect in the world, regardless of their deeds. Yue Ran's ability to stay with her regardless of the hard days proves that she is reliable.

"If I can stand up one day in the future, I will definitely treat you well."

Yueran also held Cao Wenxi's hand in return, "You are my slave's master. No matter whether you are prosperous or wealthy or just living on your last breath, it is your duty for me to accompany you."

As he said this, he already had another plan in mind. She is already interesting enough. If the master fails to seize the opportunity during the Dragon Boat Festival, then she can only think about it for herself.

She couldn't let her good years go to waste like this.

Cao Wenxi and Yueran started to clean up briefly, first clearing out the sleeping area. The sky has given us such good sunshine, but at night it gradually becomes cloudy, as if a shower is about to come.

Yue Ran cooked the noodles, only a few green leaves were scattered here and there, not even an egg.

Cao Wenxi's eyes felt sour, and she held the soup bowl and secretly vowed to make everyone who had bullied her regret.

As the night progressed, the wind whistled by, making the doors and windows rattle.

Cao Wenxi tossed and turned and never fell asleep. She heard what seemed like mice scratching at the door, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

She touched her belly and felt a little hungry. She was not full from the bowl of noodles for dinner, and suddenly she thought of her aunt at home.

The jujube cake made by my aunt is the most delicious, soft, sweet and full of rich aroma. The eldest lady always treated them mother and son harshly in various ways, and the aunt would secretly find a way to keep a piece of jujube cake and tell her to eat it quickly so that they would not find out.

She knew that her aunt also wanted to eat, so she always swallowed secretly. She wanted to keep it to eat with her aunt, but the weather was too hot and it went bad after one night.

She was reluctant to throw it away and ate it herself. As a result, she had diarrhea and almost died.

I don't know what happened to my aunt. She started to write letters to her family after she entered the palace. Later, her father saw that she was not favored and stopped answering letters. While she was lost in thought, Cao Wenxi suddenly heard a crackling sound outside. She thought it was raining. She sat up and listened quietly for a while. The more she listened, the less it sounded like the sound of rain, and more like the sound of burning firewood. Then she smelled a vague fragrance.

Cao Wenxi's heart skipped a beat, and she uneasily opened the quilt and got out of bed. I saw flames jumping outside the window, the flames engulfing the doors and windows, and thick green smoke constantly slipping in through the gaps in the doors and windows.

"Yueran, Yueran!"

Yueran, who was sleeping on the ground, was awakened by Cao Wenxi's panicked cry. She rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"What's wrong, Master..." The words stopped suddenly, and she also noticed the flames outside the window.

"Why did the water suddenly break out? Master, what should we do? This place is so remote, even if you call for help, no one may be able to hear you."

Cao Wenxi broke out in a cold sweat. Wen Meiren, it must be her, it must be Wen Meiren who did it! She is going to kill them all!

Tears welled up in his eyes. Cao Wenxi rushed to the door and tugged hard on the wooden door. The door was already locked. The person who lit the fire was obviously afraid that they would wake up in the middle of the fire, so he locked it from the outside.

Cao Wenxi slammed the door hard, "Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly! There is a danger, open the door!"

Yue Ran also slapped the doors and windows crazily, and there was only the sound of crackling wood burning. Flames rushed in from the outside and instantly ignited the cyan curtain.

"Cough cough cough..." Cao Wenxi choked and coughed. She took a step back and looked at the fire in despair.

She couldn't get out at all. By the time others found out that Tangliju had lost water, she would have been reduced to ashes. Literary beauty!

During the day, she should have rushed in and killed Wen Meiren immediately. It would be better for her to kill herself than to die in vain.

Yueran rushed to Cao Wenxi's side, her body trembling uncontrollably, "Master, what should we do? Are we just waiting to die in vain?!"

"I can't help you, Yue Ran!" Cao Wenxi burst into tears, and she saw tears glistening in Yue Ran's eyes.

"Wenmei wants to kill me, and she won't let me go until I die. The outside is locked, and we can't get out. I'm sorry, after all, it was me who got you involved."

Yue Ran looked at Cao Wenxi quietly, with resentment, fear, and complicated emotions. In the end she just lowered her eyes.

"Master, don't say that. It's God's will that makes this slave. It's not your fault. I'm your slave, and it's my duty to accompany you."

Cao Wenxi smiled and held Yueran in his arms, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. If you want to burn him to death, burn me to death first."

The fire gradually grew stronger, and just when Cao Wenxi thought she was certain to die, she suddenly heard a "crash" outside, and a dull thunder rolled from a distance, exploding above the roof.

The sound of rain followed by muffled thunder was heard. Yue Ran raised her head in surprise, ran to the other side that was not burned, and lay on the window to listen.

"Master, it's raining! It's raining!"

The anger in Cao Wenxi's heart suddenly disappeared. She fell to the ground and covered her face with her hands, suddenly crying.

In fact, she was very afraid of death, and she was also very afraid of pain. She didn't want to be burned beyond recognition. Fortunately, she didn't deserve to die! God finally opened his eyes and looked at her.
