Rich Young Mistress: Young Master Xie's Dearest Beloved Wife Chapter 1638 - The Queen’s Self-Mockery

Chapter 1638: The Queen’s Self-Mockery

When Shui Qianqian heard her servant’s words, her body turned stiff. Raising her head slightly, she glared coldly at her.
She scoffed quietly. “Ha, he cares for me? Zilan, even if you want me to eat, you don’t have to mention his name.”
Shui Qianqian’s voice was full of mockery of herself. After scoffing, the gunshot injury on her chest began to hurt again.
“Cough, cough…” Shui Qianqian clutched her heart and couldn’t stop herself from coughing. Her face turned as pale as a sheet, and she looked as though a gust of wind could knock her over.
“My queen! Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I just have a slight cough. Don’t make a big fuss.”
“But the prime minister will really be worried about you.”
Hearing her own servant repeatedly mention the prime minister, Shui Qianqian’s face turned even colder. “Do you work for me or him?”
As she spoke, she even slammed her hand on the table. She hit the table too hard that her hand even hurt.
Her servant hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, “Please don’t be angry, my queen. I’m just worried about your health.”
“I told you that I’m fine. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. You may leave!” Shui Qianqian had no appetite at all, and she didn’t want to lose her temper or argue.
She merely wanted to rest quietly without any disturbance.
“My queen, please forgive me. The prime minister said that if you continue to refuse to eat, I would be fired.” In Country M, they were all proud that they could serve the queen. This was one of the highest positions in the country, and everyone respected them.
When she was young, she had already been chosen to serve the queen. Her family had also gotten to enjoy some benefits as a result. If she were to get fired, she would definitely feel incredibly guilty and ashamed.
Even her family would think that she had failed at serving the queen. Therefore, she had truly been anxious and had served the queen loyally.
However, she also found out that the relationship between the queen and the prime minister was different from the rumors. They seemed to have many disputes, but as a mere servant, she didn’t dare to probe any further.
Shui Qianqian looked at Zilan who knelt before her on the floor, and her lips curled up, showing a smile. Shutting her eyes, she knew that she couldn’t bear to let it happen. These people needed their jobs to survive. If they were to get fired, the whole country would look down on them.
She clenched her jaw and cursed him. That rotten Rong Jin! He had always used her weaknesses against her.
She glanced around the vast palace but simply thought that it was nothing but a fancy cage, trapping her inside.
She didn’t want to be the queen at all, and she missed those carefree days the most. Now that she was sitting on the queen’s throne, she couldn’t allow herself to be so carefree anymore.
Everyone assumed that she selfishly wanted to be the queen, but no one realized that she was actually in pain.
She missed the times she spent in Country A with her best friends.
She truly wished to relive that time again.
“My queen, the food will turn cold if you wait any longer. It wouldn’t be good for your health. The prime minister will find out and blame us.”
Shui Qianqian looked at how nervous her servants looked and sighed quietly. Forget it. She shouldn’t make things difficult for others.
Shui Qianqian stood up and walked slowly towards the table. Picking up a pair of chopsticks, she ate slowly and gracefully.
However, she had no appetite, so every bite tasted as dry as sawdust to her. She had to force herself to eat so that the servants’ task would be completed.
When she was done, Shui Qianqian wiped her mouth and said, “I’m full now. You may clean things up.”
“Yes, my queen!”
