Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging You Away

Chapter 47

I know I should act like I didn't see such a drama, should show no concern like before, should maintain the expressionless face and heart like still water that once was.

But I didn't manage to do it.

I am indeed an impulsive and unreasonable person.

In consideration of this tense moment, my actions appear extremely abrupt, those three people's eyes all collectively falls onto me, not one pair sharing similar looks.

I instantly cry out pretentiously: "Aiya, this servant was afraid the snacks would go cold......"

I secretly ridicule myself inside, then restore my expressionless face as I face the two women that have stopped crying to look at me, saying: "Your highness, Young Lady, this servant deserves death, this servant didn't hold it well with a tremble of the hands." I lower my head and look at the snacks that had fallen and rolled everywhere, unable to hold back from laughing out loud, "This servant sure is incredibly stupid, look at this, such pretty snacks have now all become beyond recognition, afraid that even the Imperial Kitchen's dog won't even eat it."

"What is a servant like you speaking so much for?" Ah-Ruo's voice carries the hoarseness from crying, eyes red like a little bunny, "Aren't you going to hurriedly clean it up?!"

I smile, "Of course, of course, this servant will naturally have to clean it up, but Young Lady should also clean up, clean up yourself, that face of Young Lady's......" I eye her up a few times, saying with heartfelt sincerity: "Is so ugly."

Ah-Ruo's face instantly turns blue, "You......"

I sound "pu-chi" as I burst out into laughter, saying to the absentminded Consort Yi: "Your highness Consort Yi, from what this servant sees ah, this sister of yours needs some extra pampering, has yet to enter the palace yet she already has your highness' force, your highness' family sure is amazing." I then speak to Ah-Ruo again: "Young Lady, this servant shall offer you my apologies now, may Young Lady give this servant some good promotion in future, this servant shall clean everything up now and leave."

After saying that, I don't look at those few people's expression, squatting down to pick up the plate shards from the ground. As I pick them up, I regretfully think I've made another mistake, how could I possibly act so brazenly before He Lian Chen and Consort Yi? I am only a eunuch right now, a negligible eunuch that can be slaughtered as they wish, what identity and position do I have to be flipping tables with them?

But there's a spot deep inside my heart that is in pain, severe pain.

I haven't given rise to intense emotions for so, so long, I thought I had already lost this ability, but turns out I didn't lose it, I still remember all those betrayal, those betrayal that carves one's hate into the bones.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't like his majesty, but I have loved him much earlier than you......"

As I listen to this, I find it funny, An Qing has also once said 'sorry' to me before, but they have forgotten, 'sorry' is the world's most shameless word.

I pick up the shards one by one and place them onto the tray, those finely shattered shards cutting into the skin brings a tingling pain, subtle, but gives my heart some kind of discharge. Deep inside, I nonsensically count and count, calculating what number I will reach for He Lian Chen to speak up and send me away.

"Enough, no need to pick them up." He Lian Chen's deep voice finally sounds, "Get out!"

En, I just counted up to 'fifteen'.

"This servant shall withdraw." I swiftly stand up and turn around, getting ready to leave, but my arm was suddenly pulled back, followed by He Lian Chen voice, subtly wrapped in anger, saying: "You two get out, you stay here!"
