That night, thick clouds covered the moon.
In Chenglu Hall, where Wensi resides, incense is burning and floating in the air.
Under the dim light, when Shen Qingtang regained consciousness, she saw the beauty leaning against the couch, looking down at her from above.
Under her gaze as if she was looking at some merchandise, Shen Qingtang knelt on the ground in a daze, his brain working rapidly.
What's happening here?
Wasn't she murdered?
How come now——
Shen Qingtang's heart trembled slightly, impossible possibilities rushed into his mind, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
With just this shake, the beauty in palace dress sitting on the couch raised her slender willow-shaped eyebrows.
"If you were not related to me, you would not have had a chance to enjoy such a good thing."
What a good thing?
Shen Qingtang's mind was empty. Although she didn't have the original owner's memories, the dull pain in her knees told her that the original owner was extremely resistant to the so-called good things she mentioned, otherwise he would not have kneeled to death.
Shen Qingtang glanced around inconspicuously. The antique interior layout, coupled with the person who called herself Jimei, immediately made her realize her current situation.
The lady = the palace!
Only the emperor's woman, and of low rank, would call herself "the young master".
And she was kneeling, so she must be a servant - a palace maid.
After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Qingtang was completely stunned.
Asi——
The harem is full of cannibalism!
The villain in my heart was pitifully gathered together, and I didn't know where she would end up. Would it be a deep well, a pond, or poison, or beating to death...
Not wanting to become a warm corpse, Shen Qingtang followed the principle that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made, and started to talk nonsense.
"Your servant, I will leave it to the young master to decide."
In one sentence, Li Changzai was very satisfied.
She left the couch, a wisp of fragrant breeze blew over, Shen Qingtang looked at the exquisite embroidered shoes slowly appearing in her eyes, and shouted in her heart, "She is coming, she is coming, she is coming with the feudal system!"
Shen Qingtang's body was tense, allowing the arrogant and contemptuous voice to vent above his head.
"At the beginning, grandpa asked you to enter the palace with me for the selection. He thought you could win the emperor's heart. Unexpectedly, you were demoted to a palace maid, while I was promoted to a concubine. The fact proves that grandpa is really old. He bet on you as a treasure - snort ~ ridiculous."
Li Changzai lifted up Shen Qingtang's carefully retouched face. The gray complexion, thick black eyebrows, and the ridiculous matchmaker's mole at the corner of her mouth were all deeply engraved in her heart.
"If it weren't for my kindness, and my consideration for our relationship as cousins, I would have asked the Emperor for mercy. Otherwise, you would have been punished to wash the toilet in the palace..."
Li Changzai described her kindness, and Shen Qingtang was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, and she almost poked a little red flower on her forehead.
Regardless of the truth, based on the fact that she was the master and the slave, Shen Qingtang praised her first.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. If it weren't for the young master's grace of giving birth to me again, I would have already indulged in it. The young master's kindness, I will definitely repay you with gratitude. Wuwuwuwuwu——"
The atmosphere was set to this point, and Shen Qingtang felt that it would be a shame for his hard work if he didn't howl a few times.
Sticky tears -
Li Changzai looked at the muddy water stains on his hands. His eyebrows were about to twitch on his face, and the handkerchief in his hand was about to catch fire from the friction.
"Shut up! If you really want to repay me, then serve Eunuch Wang well. That way, it will be worthwhile for me to find this good place for you!"
???
Eunuch Wang?!
Serving the eunuch? !
Children, do you have many questions?
Shen Qingtang suddenly felt something was wrong, but Li Changzai was already fed up with her hanging around.
"It's already the hour of Xu, the best time to not make any mistakes. Go quickly and don't keep people waiting anxiously."
Shen Qingtang was kicked out of Wensi Residence. When the evening breeze blew across his body, he was startled to feel a damp and cold feeling on his back.
…She really traveled through time.
Shen Qingtang looked at the vast darkness, and everything he saw was unfamiliar.
The chill that seeped into her bones from her back made her realize that she had not only traveled to the feudal ancient society, but also to a harem full of fake sisters!
How... to live?
She couldn't move her feet, but someone forced her to move.
The young eunuch pinched his throat and threatened: "Young lady, you are standing there motionless, are you expecting your mistress to give you away?"
Is it to send her to death?
Shen Qingtang resisted the urge to run, took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
Her calm and composed appearance made the young eunuch look at her in surprise.
Although she looks ugly, she has a graceful figure. No wonder... Thinking of what Eunuch Wang said, the young eunuch immediately collected his thoughts and led Shen Qingtang into the darkness with an expressionless face.
"Hurry up and follow me. Eunuch Wang doesn't like to wait for people."
……
Inside the palace, the vegetation is lush.
After leaving Chenglu Palace, Shen Qingtang followed the young eunuch all the way through twists and turns. Walking on this winding path that was rarely traveled, only she knew what it meant to feel like every second felt like an age.
The little eunuch kept watching her closely all the way. She wanted to escape, but where could she escape to without any memory?
Does she really want to have sex with the eunuch?
Dah!
She refused!
Shen Qingtang perked up and carefully sorted out the fragmented information he got from Li Changna.
A concubine of the same period, my cousin Changzai, she was a palace maid, serving the eunuch Wang...
I wonder if the original owner was demoted during or after the talent show, and what the reason was?
From what he said, the original owner was able to participate in the talent show because his grandfather looked at him with special eyes. It seemed that the original owner had a humble family background... Shen Qingtang subconsciously touched his face.
The original owner's appearance should be better than Li Changzai, otherwise there would be no such thing as betting on it.
As for the eunuch Wang Gong——
The person who could be won over by Lady Changzai must have a high status and identity. Could he be the eunuch close to the emperor?
As Shen Qingtang's heart was filled with emotions, the hair at her temples was suddenly messed up by the wind. When she tucked her hair behind her ears, her hands paused.
Looking around, apart from the rockery groups lined with strange rocks, there is also a lotus pond with a faint fragrance.
The sound of gurgling water, swaying red lotus and croaking frogs is pleasant to the ear.
but--
As soon as Shen Qingtang stopped, she was stabbed in the face with a dagger in the eye. The young eunuch was looking at her with impatience.
"what happened again?"
"Shh~" Shen Qingtang stopped, "Did you hear any sound?"
"Don't try any tricks, just go!" The young eunuch obviously didn't hear anything and just thought Shen Qingtang wanted to escape.
At his urging, Shen Qingtang's eyes became brighter.
There really is a sound.
The unclear whimpering sound seemed far and near, and was particularly erratic in the wind.
Someone is crying!
And it was the cry of a human baby!
The cubs in the harem are either rich or noble!
Maybe, her chance has come!
Without waiting for the young eunuch to react, Shen Qingtang ran towards the source of the sound like a rabbit.
When the young eunuch came to his senses, there was no sign of Shen Qingtang under his nose.
“…Help, help…Gurgle gurgle…Woo woo…”
Weak cries for help were heard intermittently in the silent and deserted lotus pond. When Shen Qingtang rushed over following the sound, he saw a black shadow sinking to the bottom of the water, and soon the figure disappeared.
Shen Qingtang's expression suddenly changed. He was drowning!
Human life is at stake. No matter what her previous purpose was, she can't just sit back and watch now.
Without thinking too much, she jumped and jumped into the water with a splash.
As Shen Qingtang struggled to search in the water, the devouring darkness in the distance was driven away by the bright lights, and soon a panicked and noisy sound exploded from the distance.
"Third Prince? Third Prince, where are you?"
"We have searched carefully for him. If anything happens to the Third Prince, none of us will survive!"
"I hope the Dragon Hidden Guards can find the Third Prince soon."
……
People and horses were in chaos on the shore, and Shen Qingtang could not hear clearly, but when the firelight shone into the water, she saw at a glance the five cubs sinking in the water. He was motionless and dying. Shen Qingtang's heart was pounding, and she swam towards him quickly with all her strength.
On the water bridge, eunuchs and palace maids gathered together, all of them looked ashen.
"I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it!"
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Go look somewhere else!"
A dozen people, holding torches, were rushing to go somewhere else in a hurry, but just as they turned around hastily, the bright yellow guard of honor arrived majestically in the rippling water.
Wow!
Under the cover of night, people's hearts are floating like water, and the sharp and long singing of promises follows.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
