Chapter 368: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (13)
The entire inner hall was very quiet, so quiet that even the sound of people breathing could not be heard, and the only sound was the heartbeats.

After a long time, the person sitting in the first seat finally spoke.

"You have a pitiful life. I thought I could use the ability of my little sister to save my poor sister, but I didn't expect her... Alas!"

There was a sense of compassion in Concubine Shu's words, but everyone in the palace knew that her words were not credible.

If it was before, it would still be believable, but now she looks much more hideous than before.

Lin Yan sobbed silently, her knees aching a little, but in this ancient cannibalistic society, she did not dare to act rashly. She could only cry to express her grievances.

"I know that she is the senior palace maid beside Concubine Li. No matter in the past or now, we have parted ways. People with different ideals cannot work together. From now on, she and I are no longer sisters." She seemed to have made a great decision and spoke with a somewhat heavier tone.

Acting too honest in front of the master is a good way to save your life. But if you are too inconspicuous, you will be the first to be abandoned.

So she had to show her smart side when necessary. She could be innocent, but she couldn't be too stupid. And after so many years in the palace, who would believe that she was so innocent?
The palace is a big dye vat. Anyone who enters will be stained with some color. Even if someone is well protected, reality will eventually hit her hard.

Moreover, she had experienced betrayal, ridicule, and being kicked when she was down. Wasn't such experience enough to make a person grow?
Being too honest will only make the superiors more suspicious. Only by showing your claws at the right time can people see your value in being used.

Lin Yan did not do this just to stay in Xianyang Palace. She needed power, a position that could get in touch with the target of the mission.

Climbing up is her ultimate goal.

But this master is indeed a bit of a headache. Being with her is like being with wolves and tigers. You may die at any time.

But the restrictions given by Xiao Ba forced her to take risks. With only ten years left, she had to make some plans in the short term to ensure that the road ahead would be smoother.

Did the Concubine Shu treat her as a chess piece? Oh, after all, who was the chess player behind this? Who could tell for sure?
As if she had just noticed that she had been kneeling for a long time, Concubine Shu spoke compassionately, "Get up, little girl, you are a sensible person. I have always looked down on those who form cliques and seek personal gain, and I cannot bear to see my people making friends with others."

Who is this "other person"? It could refer to Lipin, or other imperial concubines, or in fact anyone.

But at this time, it must be Concubine Li.

"Since you are already a member of my palace, and I have promoted you to a higher status and you are serving me, then you will be my person from now on. Serve me well, and you will certainly receive benefits in the future." Concubine Shu glanced at her indifferently, her pretty face seemed calm, but with a kind of crazy beauty.

"If I discover your betrayal... I will peel off your skin and throw it into a mass grave to feed the dogs. Do you understand?"

Lin Yan seemed to be startled by her words. She trembled all over, shrank weakly, and spoke tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I understand."

"Okay, let's go down."

"Yes."

When she walked out, her body was still trembling, and she staggered a bit when she passed the threshold, which seemed to be caused by fear. But in fact, she just couldn't stand steadily because of her weak legs. She knelt on the ground for so long, her eyes were still looking for small crumbs in the blanket, and her hands were scratched several times. Walking out like this, she looked like she had been tortured.

When I returned to the dormitory, the gloating voices of Pink and the others came directly to me.

"If you had gone to help us, how could you have been caught? Well, it's not our fault. It's you who didn't appreciate the favor."

"That's right. You were alone in the yard at the time. Who else would they call if not you?"

Before Lin Yan was called in, several palace maids had already run out of the inner hall in a panic, and their expressions looked like they had survived a disaster. Although I don't know what happened inside, it doesn't look like a good thing.

So after she went in, everyone was guessing when she would be dragged out? Or, was she dead or alive?
But now it seems that she has escaped.

But the way he walked with a limp and staggered, no one believed that he was not tortured in there.

When he lifted up his trouser legs, he saw bruises on his knees.

Since she became a maid, she has not been exposed to any rough work. She has been wrapped in clothes for many years, and her skin is relatively white and tender, so the bruise is particularly clear.

Pink couldn't help but click her tongue when she saw this.

"I thought you were capable, but in front of the Concubine Shu, you are nothing but a dog. You see, you can't get past your master no matter what. I advise you..."

"call out!"

A bamboo stick suddenly flew over and stuck straight into the wall behind Pink. The bamboo stick just stuck straight into the wall and shook a few times.

Pink was so frightened that she froze in place. She was overwhelmed with fear and couldn't help wondering, what if the bamboo stick was meant for her forehead?
Lin Yan had already taken the powerful pill, and she had often learned some useful and useless things in the previous plane, so she used some skills when shooting the bamboo stick. Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good.

"If you say nonsense to me again, I will make sure you never speak again." She was smiling, but her expression looked terrifying.

Although the sun was shining brightly outside, it felt like winter inside the room.

Pink and a few others huddled together, with uncontrollable fear in their eyes. Living with such a dangerous person, they didn't know when they would die.

"You...you, aren't you afraid that we will tell these things to the Concubine Shu?" Pink said bravely.

Lin Yan took some herbs, crushed them, squeezed out the juice and applied it on her knees. It felt cool and very comfortable.

She raised her head, smiled at Pink, and said, "Go ahead and tell her. See if Concubine Shu believes you. Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing."

"I won't be living here anymore. The Concubine Shu is short of people, so I just filled the gap. How about it? Do you want to congratulate me?"
