Chapter 3253 - 3254: Are You Defying the Imperial Edict?

What’s wrong with this mother? She’s been beaten like this, and she’s still asking if she’s okay. She’s in a lot of pain now, it’s a big deal!

"Mother, please... take me out, I don’t want to stay here anymore, take me out of the palace."

If before she still thought she could escape, be seen by the Emperor for her beauty, and then receive the Emperor’s favor.

But now, after being beaten, she doesn’t want anything, just wants to get out of the palace quickly, leave this cursed place, never come back, even if she has to come back, it would be Zui Yiming begging to bring her back to the palace.

"Alright, alright, Mother will take you home, take you home."

Madam Zui hurriedly nodded, about to support Zui Yichun to take her away, but at this moment, a palace maid stepped forward.

"Where does Madam Zui want to take Fifth Miss Zui? She is someone the Emperor has decreed to stay in the palace, do you also want to take her away? Do you even regard the Emperor in your eyes?!"

The maid questioned her.

"You—"

Madam Zui’s throat tightened, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

Her daughter was tormented like this, and they still wouldn’t let her take her away? Just how badly did they want to bully Chun’er?

"I don’t care about the Emperor, I just want to take Chun’er away!"

"So, Madam Zui intends to defy the imperial edict?" The palace maid raised her eyebrow, asking her.

"I..."

"Madam Zui, you must think carefully, defying the edict could lead to beheading, and in serious cases, possibly the extermination of the entire family. Do you really want to do that?"

Before Madam Zui could say anything, the palace maid reminded her again.

Hearing this, Madam Zui’s hand shook as she supported Zui Yichun, and not paying attention, she let her daughter fall to the ground.

Zui Yichun, who had already been beaten, had wounds on her buttocks, and now she sat down on the gravel-strewn ground, gritting her teeth and screaming miserably, her eyes wide like copper bells.

Cold sweat broke out on her body again, and she collapsed to the ground, unable to muster even a bit of strength.

"Chun’er, Chun’er!"

Seeing this, Madam Zui hurriedly helped her up again.

It’s impossible to leave the palace, in the end, she could only clean out a room, help Zui Yichun inside, let her lie down on the dirty bed, and softly comfort her.

The palace maid, at this moment, had already left and was just waiting outside Quan Palace for Madam Zui to come out.

"Mother, I don’t want to stay here, can you take me out?" Zui Yichun kept repeating this sentence. How could she stay in such a place?

She couldn’t stay when she wasn’t hurt, and now she’s covered in wounds, how could she stay here?

The Emperor and that vile Zui Yiming were doing it on purpose, they wanted her to die here. If she died, how would she ever become Empress later?

Therefore, she wants to go home first, heal her wounds, and then make other plans.

"Chun’er, it’s impossible for you to leave now." Madam Zui also wanted to take her daughter away, but how could it be such an easy matter?

"Even though you’re living in Quan Palace, in name, you’re also considered the Emperor’s woman. If Mother takes you away now, that would be defying the edict, and there would be accountability. Worse still, it’s uncertain whether Mother and your father’s lives could be spared."

She tried to persuade her daughter not to oppose the Emperor.

Though Zui Yichun was sent to Quan Palace, it was by virtue of being considered the Emperor’s woman, wasn’t she?
