Chapter 259: 2 Extreme Reversal, the Tyrant's Heartache 4
When Yunyan passed by the imperial kitchen, she stole some food and took it back. She was satisfied when she smelled the delicious roast chicken.
Just think of it as a reward for myself for working overtime late at night.
After returning to the cold palace, Yunyan always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching her in the dark.
She pretended to go out for something, and then a small figure walked into her room.
He smelled the aroma of roasted chicken on the table and swallowed.
After thinking for a while, he opened the oil paper, tore off a chicken leg and prepared to leave.
Yunyan suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.
"Okay, you little thief. How dare you steal my things."
There was some fear in the boy's childish voice, and he hid the chicken leg behind him.
"I'm sorry, sister. I, I really have no other choice."
He mustered up the courage to take out the chicken leg behind him.
"Sister, I just want this chicken drumstick, can you give it to me? I will definitely return it to you later."
Yunyan raised her eyebrows and looked at the little boy carefully.
His voice was androgynous and his face was pitch black.
Yunyan walked closer and saw that this was not a little boy at all, but a girl who was raised as a boy.
But her appearance is quite deceptive, and most people can't tell.
The little girl looked into Yunyan's eyes, with pleading and helplessness in her eyes.
It’s just a child, and there’s only one chicken leg. Yunyan wouldn’t be so stingy.
"Okay, consider this chicken leg as a gift to you."
There was surprise in the girl's eyes, and she thanked Yunyan profusely.
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister. I will definitely work hard to repay you in the future."
Yunyan waved her hand and watched the little girl leave happily.
She still followed him quietly. The child looked to be only seven or eight years old, and must be raised by an adult.
Yunyan followed her to a remote room. The room was very dark and smelled musty.
After a while, a dim candlelight lit up in the room.
Yunyan stood by the window and peeked.
"Mom, I brought you a chicken drumstick. Eat it quickly. Your illness will be cured after you eat it."
The woman on the bed was pale and wearing a patched palace dress.
She spoke weakly.
"Chen'er, tell me honestly, is this chicken leg stolen by you? Have you forgotten how I taught you to behave?"
Chen'er shook his head.
"Mom, I was really desperate at first, so I stole the chicken leg, but I was discovered by that sister, and she was kind enough to give me the chicken leg."
The woman on the bed still found it a little unconvincing. She thought there wouldn't be any kind-hearted people in the cold palace.
The woman's face turned serious.
"Chen'er, don't lie, otherwise I won't have a child like you."
The little girl was frightened by the woman and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mom, I really didn't lie. This is what that sister kindly gave me."
"Mom, it was my daughter's fault for stealing at the beginning. I am willing to accept the punishment. Can you eat this chicken leg first?"
"Only after mother eats it can she have the strength to punish her daughter."
The little girl tried all kinds of ways to coax the woman to eat, but the woman just turned her head away and said nothing.
The little girl looked a little anxious.
"Mom, please don't ignore me." There was a cry in her voice, but the woman's attitude was still very cold.
After a while, the girl finally said, "Mom, don't be angry. I'll return the chicken leg right away."
She walked out the door holding the cold chicken leg on the table. When she looked up, she saw Yunyan suddenly appear at the door.
"Sister, why are you here?"
The woman on the bed also saw Yunyan, and she asked indifferently.
"Who are you? I have never seen you in the cold palace."
Yunyan naturally found a place to sit down.
"I just came to the cold palace not long ago, it's normal that you haven't seen me."
"This chicken leg is for your daughter. Please accept it without worry."
The woman's attitude was still cold, even a little hostile.
"We don't need your stuff, so take it. Don't give my daughter anything in the future."
Yunyan was puzzled.
"You are already so sick. If you don't eat properly, your illness will only get worse."
The woman looked at Yunyan with cold eyes.
"I said we don't need your help, please leave here immediately."
The atmosphere gradually became tense, and the little girl mustered up the courage to come out and smooth things over.
"Mom, this sister is a very nice person."
The woman suddenly got angry.
"Shut up. How long have you known her? Have you learned everything I taught you?"
The girl's eyes were full of grievance. The woman continued, "Miss, you are not welcome here."
Yunyan also knew that this was a very defensive woman, probably because she had been hurt before.
She curled her lips and suddenly said something even more unexpected.
"I really don't know what a good person is, so I decided to wait until you die and then bully your daughter."
There was disbelief in the woman's eyes.
"You, what are you talking about? You can't do this."
Yunyan shrugged, her face full of indifference.
"Why not? If you continue to suffer from this disease, you will die in a month at most. This is the cold palace. Is there any imperial physician who can treat you?"
"When the time comes, I will capture your daughter and make her work like a slave for me. Not only will she have to wash my clothes, cook for me, and clean the house, she will also have to wash my feet and massage my back."
Yunyan looked like a villain who had succeeded in his career.
"By the way, I have a bad temper. If I don't like her, I will whip her and not give her food."
As the woman listened to Yunyan's words, she could already imagine the hard life her daughter would face in the future.
She was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. She had never seen such a shameless person.
Yunyan continued to stimulate her.
"Why are you staring at me like that? If you want to hit me, go ahead. But I have to warn you, your current strength will be like tickling me."
The woman became so angry that she suddenly started coughing violently.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
"You, you are shameless!"
Yunyan smiled.
"I am shameless. Isn't that what you thought at the beginning? Why are you still angry?"
The woman was still coughing violently, and the little girl couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
She suddenly fell to her knees.
"Sister, please stop talking. My mother can't stand your stimulation."
Yunyan, however, acted out of character, with a somewhat harsh expression on her face, and continued to provoke the woman.
"In fact, after you die, even if I don't bully your daughter, do you think she can live peacefully in this cannibalistic palace?"
"She is so beautiful, will she be coveted by those old eunuchs outside, and then forcibly kidnapped to be her concubine?"
"You have been in the palace for so long, you should know a lot of the dirty things that the eunuchs do. What if your daughter falls to that state?"
The woman's anger had reached its peak, and Yunyan had completely hit her sore spot.
"you you……"
"puff--"
Before she could finish her words, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and the little girl screamed in shock.
"mother!!!"
