Li Yuanyuan rubbed her temples, “She has served me for many years, and now that she is older, it is okay for her temperament to be a little harsher.”
“She is too submissive to everyone. She needs to make it clear who the master is. Watching her always irritates me, she is becoming increasingly bold. If we don’t stop it now, who knows what will happen in the future.”
“I got it, go make me a pot of hot tea.”
Quan’er obliged and left.
At night, Li Yuanyuan had trouble sleeping and called someone in to serve her.
It happened to be Xiangyu’s turn, she came in yawning, grumpily saying, “You are the master, and I am the servant. Serving you is my duty. It’s just that you barely let me sleep. If you’re so capable, why don’t you serve Prince of Yu over in Misty Cloud Pavilion? If you are able to bear a child, you can transform from a regular hen to a phoenix.”
“Why are you talking so much?” Li Yuanyuan snapped
“If you need someone to serve you, find someone else. Do you think that I am here to serve you? Don’t forget that we both had the opportunity to be the concubine of Prince of Yu. The Master chose you only because of your seductive beauty. And I am not your servant. The master dispatched me to keep an eye on you, to remind you, so as not to forget your place!”
Li Yuanyuan lay in her tent in silence.
Xiangyu was still chattering, urging her to harm the unborn child of the disabled Princess Consort, and preferably kill the Princess Consort as well.
Li Yuanyuan said: “I understand, I am very tired, would you kindly let me sleep? We can discuss the matter tomorrow.”
“You procrastinate day by day, the belly of that woman is getting bigger. Do you plan to wait until the baby is born?”
Li Yuanyuan slowly sat up and lifted the curtain.
Xiangyu did not even look up.
Li Yuanyuan walked to her, suddenly hugged her from behind with her right hand, raised her left hand, and a blade of silver flashing light aimed at her neck, fiercely cut it!
Spurt!
Blood sprayed out.
Xiangyu didn’t even get to say a word, her eyes wide open, she fell down.
Li Yuanyuan held the dagger with a cold expression, whispered, “Despicable wretch, go to hell!”
She put down the dagger, found a black bag, stuffed Xiangyu’s body into it, and under the cover of night, dragged the bag into the courtyard, dug a hole, and buried the bag in it.
Returning to the room, she brought a bucket of water, carefully cleaned the blood-stained dagger, and wiped the blood off the floor, walls, and furniture until everything was spotless.
After finishing this, she took off her blood-stained clothes and burned them, then she took a bath.
After all of these tasks, dawn was already breaking.
Outside, the sounds of servants moving about could be faintly heard.
Li Yuanyuan went back to bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She slept deeply.
She hadn’t slept so soundly in years.
When she woke up, it was sunny outside.
Li Yuanyuan glanced at the colourful mosquito net overhead, stretched her body, and called out, “Quan’er.”
Quan’er immediately let himself in, calling out to those outside, “The princess consort is awake, come and serve her.”
Two maidservants came in carrying water and other items.
Quan’er helped her get dressed and looked around the room, asking, “Where is Xiangyu? Wasn’t she with the princess consort last night?”
“She complained about the hardness of the small bed and went back in the middle of the night.” Li Yuanyuan replied casually.
Quan’er frowned, “That Xiangyu is becoming increasingly bold. Has she become the master?”
“Let her be.”
“You can’t keep spoiling her like this, princess consort.”
“Other than being lazy and complaining, there’s nothing else wrong.”
“But she always thinks she is wronged..”
