Everyoneughed at what she said. Even if He Xiangyu gets beaten to death, this life of hers has been worth it.

Su Xi-er ced her bowl and chopsticks down and looked at the surrounding pce maids who were giggling. The grass at the top of the wall can sway either way. She had seen many of this type of people who were easily swayed.

“Su Xi-er, don’t be so impatient to leave. Don’t tell me that you have an urgent matter?”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
These pce maids are really worried about me. Su Xi-er sneered inwardly. Yet, when she turned her head around, her face was wreathed in smiles. “I’m going to scrub the chamber pots. Does it count as an urgent matter? Do you want to do it with me?”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Do this kind of thing yourself. Don’t drag us down with you.” The pce maid had a face of contempt. She remembered Mu Tao’s lesson. The chamber pots are so smelly. I don’t want to touch them at all.

Su Xi-er didn’t respond but directly walked out instead. She needed to return and gather her strength.

She had just taken a few steps when she saw a group of imperial guards arriving. The guard in the lead had a tall figure and an extremely solemn countenance.

What exactly did imperial guards with swordse to the Pce Side Quarters for?

“Lord, to what do I owe this pleasure?” When Old Maidservant saw the head imperial bodyguard, her legs were trembling. Everyone recognised the stern-faced imperial bodyguard. This person is Prince Hao’s close and trusted imperial guard!

“Pce maids, assemble.” Wu Ling’s ice-cold tone startled Old Maidservant Zhao. When she was able to react, her hands were trembling.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
It was the first time Su Xi-er saw Old Maidservant Zhao being so flustered. This imperial guard must be some personage’s subordinate.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Yesterday night, an audacious pce maid mounted a sneak attack on Prince Hao…” At this point, Wu Ling stopped and swept his gaze over the pce maids arranged in two lines.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
If a pce maid from the Pce Side Quarters had offended Prince Hao, the whole Pce Side Quarters would be out of luck too. Old Maidservant Zhao wasn’t able to assume such responsibility. Although I want to see something exciting, even I wouldn’t purposefully bring disaster upon myself by getting myself implicated.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Thump! Old Maidservant Zhao knelt down and spoke in a quivering voice, “Lord, the pce maids can’t leave the Pce Side Quarters without amand. Could it be that Prince Hao came to the Pce Side Quarters yesterday?”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Prince Hao naturally wouldn’te to the Pce Side Quarters. He simply drank a little wine yesterday and entered the woods beside the Pce Side Quarters.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Wu Ling’s ice-cold words were like a needle that pierced into Su Xi-er’s ears. Drank winest night. The woods beside the Pce Side Quarters...The wastrel fromst night was actually Prince Hao!
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Beauty Pce. 72 concubines. When he sees a beauty, he likes to obtain them. A callous and devilish mien, coupled with an extremely lofty status.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
All these characteristics match with that manst night.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er clutched her sleeves tightly. He drank quite a lot of winest night. He probably won’t remember my looks when he wakes up today.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Lord, no pce maid left the Pce Side Quarters yesterday night! Please investigate thoroughly!” Old Maidservant Zhao forced herself to calm down. It mustn’t be a pce maid from the Pce Side Quarters. If sheunched a sneak attack on Prince Hao, regardless of whether she was intentionally approaching him or unintentionally attacked him, there’s only death awaiting.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Old Maidservant Zhao, you don’t have to exin. We’ll find out after we investigate thoroughly. Since he was attacked in the woods beside the Pce Side Quarters, the first to be investigated ought to be the Pce Side Quarters.” Then, Wu Ling walked towards the pce maids. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, causing every pce maid to involuntarily be tensed.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Old Maidservant Zhao didn’t dare to speak. Prince Hao is so formidable. How could he have been attacked by a pce maid? Although she waspletely bewildered, she wouldn’t dare to voice her questions even if she had ten times the courage.

“Hold out both of your wrists,” Wu Ling coldlymanded.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Hold out both of our wrists. That means that Prince Hao remembers that he had dislocated my wrist yesterday. Su Xi-er pursed her lips tightly. There are traces of medicinal herbs on my wrist. If this imperial bodyguard finds out...
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
The most excited one right now was Mu Tao. Only she knew someone had left the Pce Side Quarters yesterday. Hmph! Su Xi-er, your time of demise is here!
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er was lined up at the extreme end. Before she showed her wrists, she nced at the other pce maids. Some of the pce maids also had red marks on their wrists; others even had bluish-purple bruises. They were results of toiling in hardbour.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
As long as it’s not someone who has medicinal knowledge, they won’t be able to discern anything just by pinching and looking at my wrists.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Thus, she was at ease as she revealed her wrists.

Wu Ling inched closer and closer until finally, he stood firm in front of her and carefully inspected her wrists.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Why is there a strange odour from your hands?”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Old Maidservant Zhao replied on her behalf, “Lord, this pce maid is in charge of scrubbing the chamber pots. She scrubbed for the whole night yesterday.”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Wu Ling’s responding frown frightened Old Maidservant Zhao to the point that she didn’t dare to speak.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“The smell I was talking about wasn’t referring to the smell of the chamber pots. There’s the smell of medicinal herbsing from your wrist.”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er lowered her head and pretended to be flustered as she replied, “Lord,st night... this servant identally fell down and my wrist happened to rub against the grass beside the well. Is the smell of medicinal herb you were talking about referring to the smell of regr grass?”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“If it’s the smell of regr grass, would I have asked you? Guards, take her away.” Wu Ling took a step aside. Then, two imperial guards walked towards Su Xi-er.

The corners of Mu Tao’s mouth were slightly raised. Imperial Bodyguard Wu indeed has a good eye. I hadn’t even mentioned Su Xi-er leaving the Pce Side Quarters!
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Lord, this servant had started to sweep the courtyards yesterday afternoon and scrubbed the chamber pots at night. How would I have the time to ambush Prince Hao?” Su Xi-er looked at Wu Ling and fiercely pinched her wrist under her sleeve. In an instant, her eyes were brimming with tears.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
When Wu Ling saw her crying, he was taken aback.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
He had listened to Prince Hao’s instructions to start investigating from the Pce Side Quarters. To have dared to injure Prince Hao, the pce maid responsible definitely has plenty of courage.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
The pce maid before me has an endless stream of tears. She really can’t fit the bill in terms of courage.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
However, her wrists are very suspicious. Prince Hao also couldn’t remember the pce maid’s appearance clearly with how drunk he wasst night.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
When Mu Tao saw Wu Ling hesitating, she immediately stepped out of the line. “Lord, this servant saw her leave the Pce Side Quarters ande back in a panicst night!” She pointed at Su Xi-er with her right hand.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Old Maidservant Zhao’s heart had risen to her throat. This worrying trouble-maker! She actually left the Pce Side Quarters! What Miss He said is right. I must quickly deal with this pce maid who doesn’t know her ce.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
I was harbouring intentions of enjoying the show and didn’t take care of her but I must sort her out now. Inviting disaster to myself just to watch some fun isn’t worth it.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Mu Tao, you didn’t sleep in the middle of the night but concerned about me scrubbing the chamber pots instead? Are you nning to frame me? Could it be that you were the one who carried out a sneak attack on Prince Hao?” Su Xi-er changed the topic and pointed it at Mu Tao.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Mu Tao was frightened and directly knelt on the ground. “Lord, please investigate carefully. It wasn’t this servant! The one who ambushed Prince Hao is definitely Su Xi-er!”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Wu Ling looked at Mu Tao coldly. Even the pce maids in the Pce Side Quarters fight like this. I’ll leave the one called Mu Tao for now. As for the one called Su Xi-er, I must take her away.

“Imperial Bodyguard Wu.” At the crucial moment, a woman’s clear voice could be heard.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Su Xi-er looked in the direction of the voice. It’s Miss He.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“Announcing the Empress Dowager’s imperial decree, Imperial Bodyguard Wu is summoned to the Compassionate Peace Pce.” Although He Ying was full of smiles, her tone was filled with solemnness.

Wu Ling replied in aposed manner, “This subordinate will go there after I am done with handling my matters.”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“It’s the Empress Dowager’s imperial decree. You don’t have to handle this matter anymore.”
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
With the Empress Dowager brought up, Wu Ling would no longer be able to capture anyone.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
That said, He Ying’s gaze hadnded on Su Xi-er with a meaningful look.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
Old Maidservant Zhao understood that look and lowered her eyes slightly. Su Xi-er really can’t be kept anymore.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
“This subject obeys the Empress Dowager’s imperial decree.” Wu Ling bowed deferentially before striding away.

Su Xi-er heaved a sigh of relief. This matter is over for now.
Free and Original on vrenovels. Please read the most updated chapters on vrenovels.
However, she didn’t know that a man standing in a corner had observed all her expressions.

Pei Qianhao raised the corners of his mouth slightly. This Su Xi-er person is actually interesting.
