The little eunuch thought to himself, "The imperial edict is written like this. I'm just reading it out as it is. How would I know?" But on the surface, he still bowed his head respectfully. "Probably... it means to stay obediently in the palace and not go out..."
Damn it! This was exactly the so - called house arrest! That bastard Huayueye actually treated her like this. Didn't he know that she was just a free - spirited bird? To imprison her freedom was truly pitiful.
"He can't do this!" Su Qingwen felt the little flame in her heart was raging. She immediately rushed out, looking like she was about to cause a ruckus!
[System: Stop! Please stay rational. Didn't I just say that a punishment was coming? This is it. If you resist, maybe the next punishment will be even more severe.]
Su Qingwen covered her chest. She felt as if those cute "cao ni ma" creatures were about to run themselves to death in her heart.
[System: Calm down. You must be calm. Don't get angry. Anger ages you!]
"Shut up! You're just a lousy system. I've seen you clearly. You only give me punishments and no benefits at all." Su Qingwen let out a long sigh to the sky and plopped down on the ground.
"Concubine Xian, please accept my condolences. Actually, the emperor is just angry now. After a couple of days when he calms down, he'll naturally let you out." The little eunuch comforted her from the side.
"I'm really having a hard time." Su Qingwen waved her hand, indicating for him to leave.
The little eunuch pursed his lips and patted his chest. It was really something that the emperor and his wife had a fight while they were the ones getting caught in the cross - fire.
[System: Honey, don't be too sad. You must turn all your sorrow into motivation.]
"Motivation? What motivation?" Su Qingwen let out a bored sneer. "You're not going to ask me to tuck my tail between my legs and go to Huayueye to flatter him, are you? I don't want to. I'm afraid he'll humiliate me."
[System: Of course not. You can work on Huaxue'er. In this way, if she pleads with Huayueye for you, you can be free.]
"Hey, that's not bad. This method is worth a try." Su Qingwen suddenly stood up and showed a eager expression. "I'll find a set of maid's clothes right now and sneak out."
[System: Why do you have to wear a maid's clothes?]
"Stupid. Haven't you watched any ancient costume dramas? At a time like this, you must keep a low profile. If I dress more inconspicuously, I'm less likely to be discovered."
[System: Changing your appearance doesn't change who you are. It's just a waste of effort.]
"Stop your nonsense. If you're not convinced, let's have a showdown in real life. I'll make you cry loudly!"
[System: You're so tough. I can't afford to provoke you, but I can afford to hide. I'll shut up.]
After saying that, the system seemed to enter a dormant mode and didn't make a sound for a long time.
Su Qingwen snorted and still changed into the maid's clothes as planned. She hummed a tune and swaggered out of the palace.
It's okay. Anyway, she had changed her outfit. Surely no one could recognize her!
She walked forward boldly, but the deafening shout of "Concubine Xian" from behind almost made her collapse on the ground.
"Oh my god. Who's being so annoying?" Su Qingwen was furious. She immediately lowered her voice and looked back.
She saw Ning Yunqing standing behind her, looking at her with a resentful expression. That look was scarier than Sadako.
Su Qingwen let out a startled scream and covered her chest. She asked tremblingly, "What are you doing? Do you want to scare me to death in broad daylight?"
"Concubine Xian, please help me. The princess doesn't want to see me anymore." Ning Yunqing sighed and pleaded helplessly.
Su Qingwen thought to herself, With your performance, any normal girl wouldn't want to see you.
"I think you should go and read some books." She thought for a while. She didn't have the heart to directly insult him, so she could only decline him euphemistically.
"What books?" The man scratched his head in confusion and leaned closer to ask.
"Well, it's called 36 Strategies of Love. Just by the name, you can tell that it teaches you how to fall in love. Go back and read it quickly. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do." Su Qingwen cleared her throat and looked around to see if anyone had noticed them.
"I've never heard of it." Ning Yunqing suddenly seemed to gain some intelligence. He grabbed Su Qingwen's sleeve. "Concubine Xian, are you lying to me? I've never heard of this book. You were the one who took us to the brothel. Now that the princess hates me so much, shouldn't you be responsible?"
This guy was clearly trying to extort her. If possible, Su Qingwen would like to smash his head right now.
"Let go of me. I'm Huayueye's woman. It's really inappropriate for you to be so clingy to me." Su Qingwen felt that the man in front of her was like a piece of dog - skin plaster that she couldn't shake off.
"I heard that the emperor has sentenced the concubine to house arrest. Now that you've come out, you're probably going against the emperor's order." The man raised his eyes and was almost about to confront Su Qingwen.
Su Qingwen thought to herself, I'll curse you in my heart!
"Fine. I'm just going to find Huaxue'er. You can come with me. This is the last try. If she still doesn't forgive you, I can't do anything either."
"Okay." Ning Yunqing nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "Don't worry. I'll definitely not let Concubine Xian down."
"Forget it. The master leads you in, but your practice depends on yourself. You're on your own." Considering Ning Yunqing's straight - man behavior, she didn't have any good ideas.
"However, you can't go like this." Su Qingwen stroked her chin and said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" Ning Yunqing opened his eyes wide and looked at her curiously.
"Think about it. Huaxue'er is already angry. And you still have no sense and keep showing up in front of her. Aren't you just asking for it?" Su Qingwen twitched the corner of her mouth.
Rough as the words were, they made sense. She was speaking from the bottom of her heart. She hoped that this blockhead could understand.
"Then, Concubine Xian, please come up with an idea for me." Ning Yunqing stared at her eagerly and pleaded.
"Step one! Disguise yourself. I still have a set of maid's clothes there. It'll fit you perfectly." Su Qingwen rolled her eyes and a brilliant idea came to her mind. She quickly grabbed the man and ran towards her palace.
Looking at the size xxxxxL maid's clothes, the smile on Ning Yunqing's face gradually faded. "Do I really have to dress like this?"
"Aren't you trying to chase your goddess? Have you ever heard of the movie The Slick Chick?" Su Qingwen crossed her arms and said mysteriously.
