Chapter 75: A Serendipitous Mishap

The Fat Concubine waddled in. She'd heard that Emperor Huayueye was going to summon Su Qingwen to his bedchamber again today. She couldn't figure out what charm that girl had to bewitch the emperor so. It was truly strange!

She tiptoed two steps further in and noticed there wasn't a single eunuch or maid around. With a cold snort, the Fat Concubine continued forward.

Suddenly, her eyes were caught by a piece of clothing. Yes, it was the very same one Su Qingwen had seen earlier.

"Goodness!" The Fat Concubine jumped in surprise and then stared in shock. What kind of scandalous clothing was this? The neckline was so low. It was truly seductive. No wonder it could entice the emperor.

"That slut. She acts so prim and proper on the surface, but turns out to be a little hussy." The Fat Concubine cursed viciously, almost boiling with rage. How could such a vixen exist in the imperial harem?

"Humph. I'll just ruin it. Let's see how you use it to seduce the emperor!" The Fat Concubine sneered and immediately went looking for scissors, determined to destroy the clothing.

But just as she was about to act, she hesitated. Not for any other reason, but because the clothing was simply too beautiful. Although it was a bit revealing, the material and design were extremely gorgeous. If she could wear it, she'd surely be a sight to behold.

At this thought, the Fat Concubine's mind filled with a wonderful scene. She imagined herself wearing this sexy dress, and Huayueye being completely smitten with her on the spot, immediately favoring her.

From then on, her beauty would spread far and wide, and she'd become the emperor's most beloved woman.

"Hahaha." Lost in her daydream, the Fat Concubine burst out laughing.

No, such a good opportunity couldn't be wasted. Thinking this, the Fat Concubine quickly put away the knife in her hand, picked up the dress, and held it against her body. It was a bit small, but it didn't matter. It would stretch.

The Fat Concubine hooked her lips in a satisfied smile and, without a second thought, put on the dress.

The dress was never meant for someone of her size. Forcing herself into it, she looked anything but good. Wearing it, the Fat Concubine looked like a segmented sausage.

But even so, she was extremely happy. She twirled in front of the mirror and began to indulge in self - admiration.

"Su Qingwen, you little wench. I didn't expect you to have such good taste. This dress suits me perfectly." The Fat Concubine waved her hand and wiggled her body, striking a very coquettish pose.

Suddenly, a sharp, itchy pain shot through her body. The Fat Concubine's eyes widened in shock, and her face turned a bit red. At first, she thought it was an illusion, but then, a rash of red bumps appeared on her skin, swollen and red. She let out a scream of pain.

"Oh my god, help!" The Fat Concubine looked at the mirror again and found that her face wasn't spared either. There were so many red bumps. It was truly terrifying. From afar, she looked like a disgusting toad.

Outside, waiting to enjoy the show, Concubine Ka and Li Ruhua exchanged a look and quickly rushed in, eager to see Su Qingwen writhing in pain on the ground.

"Hahaha." Seeing the state of the "Su Qingwen", Concubine Ka couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Slut, how dare you laugh?" The Fat Concubine was even more enraged when she heard the laughter. She struggled to get up from the ground and looked up. Not seeing Su Qingwen, she grabbed Concubine Ka and demanded angrily, "Where is that little wench Su Qingwen? Where is she now? Tell her to come out and see me!"

Seeing this, Li Ruhua and Concubine Ka were completely stunned. How could it be the Fat Concubine? Where had Su Qingwen gone?

Just then, Su Qingwen had just finished bathing. Hearing the commotion outside, she pursed her lips in annoyance and walked out.

When she saw the Fat Concubine wearing the dress Huayueye had given her and transformed into an ugly toad, Su Qingwen was completely petrified.

[System: I promise, this is the first time I've seen such an amazing scene.]

"Hehe, not just you. I'm also quite scared to see a living person like this." Su Qingwen subconsciously swallowed and took a few steps back.

But the Fat Concubine didn't care. She blamed all the fault on Su Qingwen. With a furious roar, she strode forward, "Su Qingwen, did you want to harm me? You deliberately left the dress there and hid poison in it to ruin my peerless beauty."

"What?" This woman would make a great screenwriter. Rolling her eyes, Su Qingwen said with disgust, "Sister, could you please step back a bit? What does your current state have to do with me? I'm really innocent."

"Impossible!" The rage in the Fat Concubine's eyes was overwhelming. She wished she could devour Su Qingwen alive.

"You're such a scheming slut. It must be you. You've ruined my looks!" With that, the Fat Concubine started to cry. After all, for a woman, her appearance was so important. Now that it was ruined, she was in great pain.

"Shut up." Su Qingwen hated people who cried and whined without any dignity.

She snorted and pushed the Fat Concubine away in disgust, "Are you trying to extort me? Come on, am I a god? How could I know you'd come and secretly wear my clothes? If you're unlucky, don't blame everyone else."

[System: Darling, you're so awesome. I'm giving you a thumbs - up here. Oh, a new task card has been issued. It's the Courage Card. You need to complete the new task according to the prompt to get the card.]

"Okay, I accept the task." Su Qingwen felt full of fighting spirit. Even if the Fat Concubine came to pester her, she wouldn't be afraid.

"Slut, give me back my looks. You don't even feel a bit of guilt. Guards, come quickly and see. Concubine Xian deliberately harmed someone in her palace!" Suddenly, the Fat Concubine acted like a shrew and sat on the ground.

"She's jealous of my noble birth and my beauty, so she secretly poisoned me and turned me into this. Everyone, look. This woman is a venomous witch." The woman sobbed one after another, her voice shrill.

Soon, many maids and eunuchs gathered at the door to watch. From time to time, there were whispers, and people pointed at Su Qingwen.
