After saying this, Xiao Cui’s body swayed a few times before falling limp in Yan Jiao’s arms. No matter how much Yan Jiao called out to her, she no longer made any sound.

“Miss, leave Xiao Cui to me.” At this moment, Sister Shi reached out to Yan Jiao, trying to pull the sleeping Xiao Cui into her arms.

“No need. Xiao Cui became like this because she was protecting me. I’ll hold her.” Yan Jiao was afraid that Sister Shi would secretly harm Xiao Cui who protected her, so she decisively rejected Sister Shi’s request.

“Miss, don’t worry. I won’t hurt Xiao Cui. ”

Sister Shi seemed to have read Yan Jiao’s mind and added, “I will report Yu Si’s attack to the King and have him punish her.”

“I know, but she won’t necessarily be punished, right?” Based on the information she had gathered so far, she did not think that the other party would punish Yu Si for her.

Seeing that Sister Shi was about to say something, Yan Jiao cut her off. “I’m not angry. I’m just stating the truth. Or do you think I’m wrong?”

Hearing Yan Jiao’s tone suddenly turn cold, Sister Shi’s heart skipped a beat. However, she did not show it on her face. “Miss, you’re right. We can’t be sure that His Majesty will punish Yu Si for you, but I believe that when His Majesty returns and finds out about this, he will give you a satisfactory answer.”

“When will your King return?”

Upon hearing this question, Sister Shi looked at Yan Jiao with a troubled expression.

Yan Jiao turned to look at Xiao Fen and saw that she had the same expression.

‘They probably don’t know about that man’s whereabouts,’ Yan Jiao thought tiredly and sighed.

Sure enough, Sister Shi pondered for a moment and said softly, “Miss, the King is not someone that servants like us can meet just because we want to. We are just ordinary servants, and we have no right to question or discuss such matters. Please calm down and don’t make things difficult for us.”

Hearing Yan Jiao’s sigh, Sister Shi’s tone changed and she continued, “But please don’t be anxious. The King should be back soon. It’s almost time to take care of these cherry blossom trees.”

Alright, since that was the case, she could only wait for the man to return before she could clear all the doubts in her heart.

However, she had to solve the problem of food and water first. She had not eaten anything since she soaked in the hot spring and was famished.

“Let’s hurry to the dining hall, I’m a little hungry.” Yan Jiao sighed again. She absent-mindedly carried Xiao Cui and waited for Sister Shi or Xiao Fen to lead the way.

“Okay, miss. The dining hall is not far away. Please follow me!”

Sister Shi could tell that Yan Jiao was getting impatient, so she quickly pulled Xiao Fen along and led the way, turning back from time to time to see if Yan Jiao was following along.

Yan Jiao saw that Sister Shi’s attitude had changed in but a few moments, so she did not bother to ask. She just silently followed behind them, occasionally stroking Xiao Cui, who was resting in her arms.

Yet, what Yan Jiao did not know was that Sister Shi had been cursing her in her heart.

‘Damn it, she was just a human, yet her attitude was so arrogant. She was only relying on her status as the King’s distinguished guest. Otherwise, I would have killed her long ago. Why would I need that idiot Yu Si to do it?’

She had thought that Yu Si could punish this human, but in the end, that damn girl Xiao Cui had intercepted and saved her.

If the King found out that she and Xiao Fen did not save Yan Jiao when Yu Si attacked this her, she would not be able to bear the consequences!

It was better to show respect for this human first. When she saw Meng Ran, she could tell Meng Ran about this and maybe she could survive.

Hmph, human, enjoy the time you have left!

Just as everyone was having their own thoughts, the main entrance of the dining hall appeared in everyone’s sight.

“Miss, the dining hall is right behind this door. After you! ”

“Yes.”

“Oh, I was wondering who was so slow that everyone had to wait for her.” An enigmatic and charming female voice rang out after Yan Jiao stepped into the dining hall. “So, it’s the one who was carried back by big brother! ”

Hearing the other party’s annoying tone, Yan Jiao frowned and looked at the owner of the voice.

“Who are you?”

“You don’t know who I am?”
