Chapter 382 Enemies meet?
Xu Yingying had no objection to this, and naturally the other palace servants did not dare to say anything.
Tuwaya stayed in Fengyi Palace among the palace maids.
But Tuwaya did not hide for long. After all, Xu Yingying did not really lose her memory, so she could still remember clearly what happened in Wenwa.
So one day, Xu Yingying took advantage of Li Shen's nap and walked out of the bedroom, intending to go outside for some fresh air. Coincidentally, at this time, Tuwaya was arranged by the head maid to sweep the yard.
Xu Yingying just took a casual glance and immediately noticed a familiar figure.
It was a conditioned reflex that was deeply ingrained in her bones. Xu Yingying subconsciously looked over there. Just one glance and her body couldn't help but tremble.
She clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms involuntarily. She kept telling herself, "No, no, it can't be her. She's dead. There's no way she's here."
About an incense stick of time had passed before Xu Yingying managed to calm her excitement. She calmed her mind and shouted towards that direction.
"Palace maid over there, come here!" Xu Yingying's tone was unusually serious.
Tuwaya shrank for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Xu Yingying with lowered eyebrows.
Xu Yingying didn't seem to have any abnormality on her face, but only she knew that the murderous intent in her heart was about to overflow.
Tuwaya stood about two meters in front of Xu Yingying, knelt down and saluted, "Your servant greets the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with good health."
"What's your name? Where are you from?" Xu Yingying's voice was very cold. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Yingying was dissatisfied with Tuwaya.
"In reply to the Queen, my name is Tuwaya, and I am from the Western Regions." Tuwaya did not hide anything and told everything.
Hearing the word "Western Regions", Xu Yingying's pupils shrank suddenly, but after noticing her name, Xu Yingying still looked over carefully. Only then did she realize that although Tuwaya looked about 70% similar to Ye Dina in her memory, there were still some differences in details.
The people from the Western Regions were able to enter the palace and were arranged to live in Fengyi Palace. Xu Yingying sneered. In the whole world, apart from Li Siqi, Xu Yingying probably couldn't think of anyone else who could do this.
"Go down. Don't let me see you if nothing happens."
Although Xu Yingying knew that Tuwaya and Ye Dina were two different people, she could not help but vent her anger on Tuwaya. Moreover, she could tell from his face that Tuwaya was also a Wenwa.
"Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave now." Tuwaya also felt Xu Yingying's disgust towards her, so she tactfully retreated.
Everything that happened between the two of them was seen by the other servants. The palace is accustomed to flattering the weak and putting down the powerful, especially among the palace servants. This situation is even more so.
Tuwaya has already been bullied in the harem, and now she is hated by Xu Yingying. The people in Fengyi Palace will only suppress Tuwaya more severely, but Xu Yingying doesn't care.
She continued to do her own things every day, and occasionally saw the palace maids bullying Tuwaya, but Xu Yingying just pretended not to see it. Her insolence also made the palace maids do more and more excessive things to Tuwaya.
There was even a time when Tuwaya's body was covered with bruises, but even though she was treated like this, Tuwaya remained silent and just went about her business silently, like an emotionless puppet.
Li Siqi naturally noticed it, but he still did not intervene in the matter and acquiesced to Xu Yingying's behavior. Tuwaya was just a tool to him, and Li Siqi did not have that much kindness towards a tool.
A few days passed like this, and Xu Yingying and Li Siqi got along just as they did before. Xu Yingying did not intend to confront Li Siqi about the matter of Tuwaya, but Li Siqi could not sit still.
In Fengyi Palace, Li Siqi took advantage of Xu Yingying's rest and called Tuwaya to the imperial study.
Li Siqi looked at Tuwaya kneeling on the ground with purple marks on her arms. He was silent for a moment, then pretended not to see it and said, "Today I will take the queen to the Imperial Garden. You will blend in with the palace maids at the back, and then..."
Li Siqi told Tuwaya what he was going to do, which surprised Tuwaya. She raised her head and looked at Li Siqi with surprised eyes, as if she didn't understand why Li Siqi wanted to do this.
Perhaps it was because the surprise in Tuwaya's eyes could not be concealed, Li Siqi's face suddenly turned dark.
"If you want to survive, you'd better not look at me like that. Do as I order, otherwise..." Li Siqi's cold voice entered Tuwaya's ears.
Tuwaya shrank back, then retracted her gaze, "Yes, I understand."
Returning to Fengyi Palace again, Li Siqi took a deep breath, then pushed open the door and walked in.
At this time, Xu Yingying had just woken up from her sleep. Seeing Li Siqi coming in, Xu Yingying just asked calmly, "Did your Majesty just leave?"
Li Siqi hummed and explained, "I had some things to deal with just now, and now it's almost done. The weather is good today, and many lotus flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming. Yingying, do you want to go and take a look?"
Xu Yingying raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Although Li Siqi looked like nothing had happened, her intuition told her that there was definitely something fishy going on.
"Okay, it's really boring staying in Fengyi Palace for a while. It would be nice to go out for a walk while Shen'er is asleep. Your Majesty, do you want to come with us?" Xu Yingying agreed without thinking.
"Okay, let's go now." Li Siqi didn't expect it to be so smooth and was overjoyed.
Xu Yingying pretended not to see the calculation in Li Siqi's eyes, packed up her things and followed Li Siqi.
When the emperor and empress traveled, there was naturally a grand ceremony. Even if there were no other concubines in the palace, there were many palace maids and eunuchs following them, and Tuwaya was also among them.
When we arrived at the lotus pond, the scenery was just as Li Siqi had described. There were flower buds next to each other, and many of them had already bloomed. The scenery of the lotus pond in summer was truly refreshing.
"The scenery today is quite nice. I have never seen such a beautiful scenery. I didn't expect to see it inside this palace." Xu Yingying exclaimed in amazement.
"If you like it, you can come often in the future." Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying with a smile.
The two of them rarely get along so harmoniously, but there are always people who like to come out and spoil the mood at this time. Not surprisingly, the eunuch ran up and said that the minister had important matters to discuss and asked Li Siqi to go to the imperial study to discuss the matter.
