At the break of dawn.
The iron gate opened once more.
Ye Qichi half-squinted her eyes and saw a line of figures walking in.
She ignored them and continued to sleep.
"How audacious, Ye Qichi! To see the Empress and not pay respects!" Gao Jingyi's angry voice sounded in the sealed Confinement Room.
Ye Qichi pursed her lips.
Nonetheless, she got up and knelt on the ground, "Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress!"
"Did I allow you to sleep?!" Qingyuan eyed Ye Qichi's demeanor, visibly enraged.
In fact, regardless of her demeanor, as long as she did not admit her fault.
Qingyuan would always find various reasons to torment her.
"This subject begs to report to Your Majesty the Empress, I merely fainted due to physical weakness, not from sleeping..."
"Still arguing back, someone come, slap her!" Qingyuan commanded.
The elderly nanny walked up to Ye Qichi.
"Slap!" This slap was clearly more painful and louder than the one from the palace maid last night.
