Seeing her come in, she sternly commanded, "Kneel down!!!"
This command, "Kneel down," consumed all the elder queen's last bits of strength. She immediately went into a violent coughing fit.
The stern and unfamiliar tone lacks the kindness and tenderness she showed towards her in the past.
Chi Xingye, looking at the frail and aged person before her eyes, couldn't help but well up with tears. She apologized in a remorseful whisper, "Grandma…"
The elder queen's coughing was so intense that Chi Xingye rushed forward, wanting to comfort her by patting her back.
However, before her hand could touch the elder queen, she was waved away, creating a gap between them.
The queen looked feeble, but the force with which she pushed her away was so strong that Chi Xingye almost toppled over, but the maid by her side helped her regain balance in time.
The elder queen's worn-out eyes, sternly directed at Chi Xingye, she barked again, "Kneel before me!!"
Chi Xingye lowered her head.
