The criss-crossing scars on his face made him look so malevolent that it made people feel fear!

He lifted the corner of his mouth slightly. It should have been a warm smile. However, as the scars on his face began to move, he appeared to be as frightening as an evil ghost. The scars on his face were curvy, like those of a bug attached to his face. No matter what he did, he couldn't get rid of them. He couldn't die!

With his current ghastly appearance, there would still be women who would want to marry him. However, she would probably never be sincere to him. What he valued was only the power behind him!

Sometimes, he felt that his current state was also quite good. He didn't need to get married, and he didn't need to worry about the goal of those people marrying him. People who don't like the look of it can vent their anger when they are in a good mood and ignore it when they are in a bad mood.

Such a life was something he could accept.

But now, how could he think of going to see the girl who was only eleven years old? She actually couldn't resist standing at his door in the middle of the night! No matter how he looked at it, he found it hard to believe.

Ye Xiao shook his head. Could it be that he had reached the age of yearning? This was too ridiculous.

However, thinking of what that girl said, he felt his mood improve. Sometimes, a pig teammate's strength was truly formidable. Perhaps, he should try out the method of a pig teammate in the future?

With these thoughts in his mind, he also laid down on his bed. The surging murderous rage that he had every night was gone. He wanted to vent his thirst for blood. The calmness made him feel a little uncomfortable!

The next day, he felt extremely refreshed!

Hua Yuan was indeed as Bai Qin had said. She woke up late.

After all, Bai Qin had been by her side for a long time, she already knew Hua Yuan very well. Hua Yuan didn't need to think to know that she didn't sleep well yesterday. As a result, she had deliberately called for Hua Yuan earlier in the morning. But even though she was already an hour late, Hua Yuan still found it difficult to get out of bed!

Bai Qin had already called out three times. Hua Yuan slowly opened her eyes and looked at her. ”Why are you so early?”

Bai Qin broke into laughter, but seeing Hua Yuan's hazy appearance, she didn't have the heart to say anything more. She only said, ”Miss should get up quickly, otherwise the empress dowager won't be happy when it's too late.”

Hua Yuan even forgot that she was still accompanying the empress dowager in the palace. When she heard Bai Qin's words, she came to a realization. At this moment, a group of palace maids had already entered, carrying some clean water in their hands. They were ready to serve Hua Yuan.

When Hua Yuan was completely done eating, the empress dowager was already eating breakfast. When she saw Hua Yuan come over, she smiled and said, ”You little monkey, why are you so late? Did you sleep late again last night? ”

In her previous life, although she had frequently visited Her Majesty in the palace, Her Majesty had frequently given her some things the last time. However, she wasn't very intimate. In her entire life, she had been by the empress dowager's side both times, so they were rather intimate. Hua Yuan knew that the empress dowager doted on her, so she stepped forward and said coquettishly, ”It's not good for Iris. He didn't even get enough time to take care of his hair before rushing over to apologise.”

”Oh, really? ”Let me see …”

The empress dowager smiled as she looked over. ”It's actually true. Our little Iris is so beautiful that she came here without waiting for her hair to be done. I am so touched. ”

Hua Yuan said, ”Isn't it so?”

The empress dowager was amused by Hua Yuan's teasing. ”Alright, let's hurry up and eat, you mischievous monkey.”

The empress dowager's breakfast was definitely exquisite, but there were still some oily things on the table. Hua Yuan saw that the empress dowager had already reached out with her chopsticks, so she said, ”Empress Dowager, it's not good for you to eat such oily things so early in the morning.”

The eunuchs and court ladies by her side felt their hearts skip a beat. The empress dowager seemed kind and amiable, but she also had a habit of not allowing people to criticize her while she ate. The court ladies and eunuchs in Huayun these days, all like such a small person like Huayun. They all broke out in a cold sweat for her.

Besides, the crown prince had given her the meat of a deer with oil. The empress dowager had instructed her to do it in the morning. Perhaps Hua Yuan might not understand, but in the eyes of the people around him, wasn't he simply not going to deal with the crown prince? He was trying to drug the Crown Prince!

Everyone lowered their heads, afraid to look at the empress dowager's expression and eyes.

Hua Yuan wasn't really eleven or twelve years old. Right now, the atmosphere here was extremely strange. How could Hua Yuan not notice? She thought back to what she had said that was wrong. How did she become like this?
