Commotion

Caihong urged me to hurry up.

I guess it was something serious.

So I didn't even fix my hair properly, and just followed her.

When I arrived, my aunt urged me inside.

I've seen her maids and eunuchs position outside to protect us.

"What's happening?" I asked her.

She still looked stoic, but I could see she was anxious by her behavior.

"Something is happening. You better stay with me. Sleep in my side chamber this few days" she answered.

"Is it that serious?"

"Well, not yet. But not everyone is satisfied with the edict, so I guess these days will be turbulent. I didn't expect them to start so soon"

Well, no wonder. Why did she send me back to my yard today then?

I guess now she thinks I have more value.

Don't be mistaken, just because she was my aunt, she doesn't really help me out because we are family.

Of course she does it because it benefits her.

Her family sold her out long time ago, it's not like she still cares about them.

And I was born after she was already in palace.

She only brought me in the palace, so she can adopt my child if I have one.

Emperor doesn't like her anymore, and she probably won't have any children in the future.

But I'm young and beautiful. Everybody who understands old emperor's temperament knows that he will probably take interest in me.

It's a big possibility that I could conceive an child.

She will then protect me until my child is born and adopt him, because I probably wouldn't be able to raise him because my rank won't be high enough.

And then, when she gets a child, she can get rid of me, or let me live under her thumb.

But old emperor died, and she thought my value diminished.

I guess something happened in between to change her mind.

What exactly?

I don't really like being in the dark.

I just know that Li Lanying, my aunt, was a cunning woman.

Since I transmigrated, I couldn't even breathe properly.

Liqing, another of my aunt's first rank maids, and Caihong served us tea and snacks.

I wasn't big tea drinker, but this body drank it since she could remember it, so I didn't have aversion to taste.

Even though my aunt and I continued to have small talk, outside wasn't calm at all.

We heard people running, and someone shouting, but they never walked into this yard.

I wasn't that calm.

I tried to be.

But the thought that someone could just casually walk in and slay me wasn't particularly comfortable to think about.

I spent afternoon sitting nervously, trying to think about everything but the things outside.

My aunt relaxed after an hour, and even went to take afternoon nap.

She left me alone.

That bit*h.

I hope she steps on a lego everyday from now on.

She joined me again at dinner time.

And we finally got some news.

About damn time.

One of her eunuchs, an older one, came to inform us that second prince tried to usurp the throne, but failed.

Well, at least he tried.

But why he had to do it today?

Let this girl breathe.

I wanna vacation so I can properly adapt to these circumstances.

Ah, the world is so unfair~
