Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 363: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (8)
If it was just a simple reminiscing about the past, there would be no need to be hostile. After all, in this deep palace, there were not many friends who could be talked to.

But Xiangguo was Lipin's person. When Lipin entered the palace, she was assigned to the past. It was like cutting off everything from the past, and also cutting off the relationship between her and the original owner.

It was as if those years were just a dream to them.

Since then, they have completely lost contact, and even if they meet on weekdays, they just treat each other as strangers.

The people who once said they would protect each other were the first to betray the friendship between them, but this is normal, isn't it?
Lin Yan continued what she was doing, and her heart was not moved by her words. In this deep palace, if you are not careful, you will die without knowing how.

Having more ideas to climb up is also for your future and to provide security for your life.

But the current situation is that the two of them are in different palaces, which means they are in two different camps. The two masters are in a hostile relationship, so there can be no good friendship between them.

"Are you trying to act out a sisterly love show with me now?" Seeing that the person next to her did not leave, she could not help but sneer, and the sarcasm in her mouth sounded very unpleasant.

Xiang Guo was stunned, as if she had discovered a new world, with some novelty and some disdain. After being honest for so long, wouldn't it expose its claws? In this palace, who can remain unchanged?

So they are all the same kind of people, people who will do anything to climb up.

"Vanilla, you don't have to look at me like this. I just think that old friends should meet and reminisce about the past. I don't have any other intentions." She looked aggrieved, as if she had really been misunderstood.

"You should have known long ago that there is no relationship between you and me anymore." Lin Yan's expression was very cold. It was obviously the same face, but the feeling it gave people was different.

Xiangguo could hardly remember what she looked like before. It wasn't that long ago, but it seemed like they hadn't seen each other for many years. When she saw that cold face, she was stunned for a moment.

When did they start to drift apart? She had been striving towards her goal, working hard to climb up, while the other seemed to have stayed where he was, not fighting or competing, not rushing or slowing down, like a turtle.

She really couldn't stand her honest character. If she continued like this, she would have no future in life. The person who led her out of the bullying gave her great help.

She also gradually understood a truth: in this palace, power is the most important thing. It is not that if you do nothing, you will not attract attention. On the contrary, they like to bully such people.

They are very stupid and have no one to complain to when they are bullied, so it is a perfect outlet for them to vent.

Xiangguo woke up from her memories, then took a deep breath, followed Lin Yan, and helped pull out the weeds.

It's just that she seemed to have been treated well in Libin Palace over the years, so her delicate hands no longer had the calluses they used to have, and looked no different from those of an ordinary lady outside the palace.

"Xiangcan, you know that no one in this palace can decide for themselves. I have come this far because I am so careful. If I take a wrong step, the consequences will be irreparable. I don't want this to happen, but I have no choice!"

silence.

The other party didn't respond, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only pull weeds silently and keep him company.

After a long while, I heard the other party's voice was slightly hoarse, and a little choked, "So, you just watch Xiao Yuan die?"

Xiao Yuan was a friend of theirs. Although they were not close friends, they were close friends. They treated her as their sister and said that when she was old enough to leave the palace, they would buy a small courtyard and she could live there directly after she left. However, this promise was never fulfilled. Xiao Yuan died of a cold six months after Xiang Guo left.

Xiao Yuan was punished to kneel for no reason. It was raining heavily that day. He did not return to the dormitory until the rain stopped. But he developed a high fever that night. When the original owner knew about it, he wanted to go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine.

But how could the lives of ordinary palace maids be worth their treatment? Not to mention treatment, they didn't even get medicine, and there was no chance to get close to the Imperial Hospital.

When Xiao Yuan was punished to kneel, it was clear that Xiang Guo could have escaped punishment if he had only spoken. The original owner begged Xiang Guo to give him medicine, but was only rejected with an awkward refusal.

"You know, I'm in a difficult situation right now. If my master knew that I was being too kind, he might kill me." These were her exact words.

How could she be beheaded for a medicine for a cold? Besides, she was just being righteous and saving her little sister's life, why did she go to this extent?
Now that I think about it, it was just an excuse, showing that they were unwilling to save him.

Saving someone is a favor, not saving someone is also a duty.

Actually, it’s not her fault, but emotionally speaking, it’s a little hard to accept.

Because of her indifference, Xiao Yuan lost his life and could only be thrown into a mass grave after his death. Even if the original owner wanted to help bury him, she had no choice because she could not leave the palace.

This is the helplessness of an ordinary palace maid. A person without power and background can only be slaughtered by others.

Xiangguo was a little overwhelmed. She knew that Xiao Yuan’s matter was a thorn between them, but she also had her own difficulties!

She said excitedly, "I clearly told you that I didn't dare to do anything at that time. Do you know how much effort I put in to gain the master's trust? If I took a wrong step at that time, who could save me? I just wanted to protect myself. What did I do wrong?"

"Do you believe this?" Lin Yan looked straight into her eyes, and all the mockery in her eyes was conveyed to her.

She couldn't help but step back a little, her pupils shrank slightly, her eyelids trembled, and she almost couldn't hold on and looked away.

Xiao Yuan was their good friend and sister, but none of them protected her. Who could they blame? She could only blame herself for her bad luck.

"I am also very sad about Xiao Yuan's matter, but I... I really can't..." Xiangguo lowered her eyes, immersed in sad mood. At this moment, she had a little shadow of her past.

Lin Yan chuckled, "You know, I almost died of a cold a few days ago. At that time, I was thinking how painful Xiao Yuan must be!"

Xiangguo's hands hanging by her side were trembling slightly. She lowered her head guiltily, not daring to raise it.

There are some things that they are very clear about.

"Hurry, hurry, the adult is coming."

The crowd dispersed. The imperial garden, which had seemed quiet, was now filled with many palace servants kneeling on the roadside.

Lin Yan's face changed slightly. After putting her things in order, she found an inconspicuous corner and knelt down.
