323 The Depressed Saintess
The sound was like someone snoring in sleep. The saintess did not understand anything in her dreams, but she had an innate fear. She felt that if the snoring person woke up, the earth would shake.
In her dreams every night, the saintess would either be hung up and beaten, her face would be burned with red hot iron, or she would be tied up and used as a sandbag. Every day when she woke up, the saintess felt like she was being tortured. The problem was, she was the saintess! A saintess that even ghosts and demons could not get close to!
The saintess had been very depressed recently. She had two dark circles under her eyes. She sighed and got up. She touched her eyebrows and felt a sharp pain. When she had just woken up, she could not take it and screamed. It was so loud that the snoring in the corner stopped for a moment. Then, she felt as if someone had pressed between her eyebrows. Then, she woke up. When she woke up, her body went soft and she almost rolled off the bed. She felt as if all the energy in her body had been sucked out, and she was weak and powerless.
“Saintess, your body has been getting worse and worse recently. This…” The maidservant looked at the saintess worriedly. For the past two days, the saintess seemed to have been drugged with an aging drug. Her hair was getting whiter and whiter. Every day, the maidservant would come forward to help her pull out her white hair. It was fine if his hair was white, but it was a little too much if even her eyebrows and eyelashes were white.
“You… Ah, why is your forehead blue?” The maidservant covered her mouth in horror as she looked at the deep dent in the saintess’s forehead. The mark was not only blue and purple, but also a little black.
The maidservant brought the mirror in front of the saintess, and the originally indifferent saintess’ eyes suddenly froze.
“This… It’s about the size of a baby’s finger, where did it come from?” The maidservant was shocked. This was the saintess’ palace, the most mysterious and sacred place in West orchid country!
Jiang Xi yawned and got up. She picked up the breakfast prepared by the maidservant outside and ate it. For some reason, she felt like she had a fight every night. Although she was not tired or sore, it was very physically exhausting. One day, when she got up, she felt starving. Now, she had to eat three bowls of rice in one meal. She had gained weight, but the saintess had lost weight at a visible rate.
“Go and call Lord Yun over.” The saintess hesitated for a moment and asked the maid to call for someone. She had just finished tidying up her clothes when she saw Jiang Xi sitting at the table and eating happily. She tidied up her dress and was about to sit down.
“Sigh…” As soon as she sat down, the saintess’ butt suddenly bounced up as if she had been electrocuted, and her whole body trembled. She and Jiang Xi looked at each other. Inexplicably, the saintess saw a strange feeling in Jiang Xi’s round face and round eyes, as if… She had seen such a pair of eyes before. It was strange. Why did she keep having this feeling recently?
Jiang Xi only put down the bowl slowly after the saintess went out to look for Lord Yun. After the saintess left, the maidservant’s face immediately turned cold. “Didn’t the manager tell you? Have you forgotten what you’re here for? Do you deserve to sit on a chair and eat? You’re sitting while the saintess is standing?You’ve eaten all the meat, and now you’re letting the saintess gnaw on a steamed bun. How can you do that?”
The maidservant looked at Jiang Xi with a gloomy face and said, “Cuicui cooks much better than you. When the saintess is sleeping, Cuicui will fan and massage her legs. When the saintess is eating, Cuicui will wait on her. With such a big belly, those who don’t know would think that the saintess is your maidservant. If you know what’s good for you, quickly get rid of the child in your belly and serve the saintess well. In the future, if the saintess is in a good mood, she will reward you with as many children as she wants.” The maidservant looked at Jiang Xi’s belly with an unfriendly expression.
Jiang Xi’s indifferent eyes suddenly turned cold, and the temperature in the warm bedroom dropped by several degrees. The maidservants in the hall shivered one after another and felt terrified.
“Get rid of the child in my stomach? Heh, you can ask the saintess if she dares. Did she become braver after she changed from standing to squatting when peeing? Why don’t you ask her if she feels like she’s missing something?” Jiang Xi sneered, and the maidservant got goosebumps all over her body.
“You, you, you, how can you be so vulgar?!” The maidservant’s face turned red with anger at Jiang Xi’s words. She reached out to push her away, but Jiang Xi snorted and raised her foot to kick the maidservant, causing her to fall to the ground. Her face buried in the hot soup, and she ran away crying.
