After Rou's visit to the palace, Qiao Qiao's following days were much more comfortable. At least, he no longer saw Yan Mo Chen's vicious face, nor did he waste his time on the concubines fighting for favour in the harem, nor did he eat the leftover food from the dogs and pigs.
Qiao was still satisfied, but he understood clearly in his heart that even though these people had seen that the Emperor had forgotten about this sinner in the Cold Palace, and that she had been especially favored by the Emperor that night and had stayed in the Palace, in the eyes of the people now, she was nothing more than a pile of dog shit that the Emperor had accidentally stepped on.
Qiao Qiao was still frowning as she sat down. If they really could stop coming to the Cold Palace to cause trouble for themselves, then she would be at the mercy of others.
"Miss, the seed you wanted, Die'er, has secretly brought it to you." Die'er took small steps with a cheerful tone as she entered the palace through the cold door.
"Right." Looking at the flower in Die'er's hand, the corners of Qiao's lips couldn't help but slightly rise up.
"Miss, this servant is ignorant. What does Miss want these flowers for?" Die'er had a puzzled look on her face as she placed the flower seed in her hand on the stone table in the yard. She looked at Qiao Qiao with a focused expression.
Qiao Qiao continued to smile as she spoke slowly. "To live a life, one must enjoy a life."
"Eh?" Die'er became even more confused. She really didn't understand what the young lady meant.
"Although we are mutually dependent on each other in this cold palace, we can still be considered to be at ease with food and clothing." Although at least be at ease in this cold palace, we can be considered to be at ease with each other. Qiao once again grabbed the flower seeds on the table and carefully sized them up, his face could not help but be overjoyed.
"Ah?" Concealed in the cold palace? " Die'er's face was filled with astonishment, as if she had heard something unbelievable from Qiao's mouth.
"Yes!" Qiao Qiao nodded his head abruptly. "Actually, this life is so good. At the very least, there won't be any headless flies messing around."
Die'er was startled. No matter how dull her brain was, she understood who the young lady was referring to. However, the only person who could compare the current emperor to a headless fly was probably the young lady herself since ancient times.
"Miss, this servant heard about something in the kitchen today." Die'er whispered into Joe's ear.
"What is it?"
"I heard that the palace maid by esteemed wangfei's side that day was for some reason blinded." Die'er lowered her voice and spoke carefully, "In order to keep her mouth shut, esteemed wangfei forbade anyone else in the palace from mentioning this matter. This servant heard it by chance from the palace maids within the palace."
Hearing Die'er's words, Qiao still could not help but secretly laugh. Sure enough, after hearing her words, that Rou Fei was prepared for the little girl. But … Just blind? How could this work!? That day when she slapped Butterfly and showed off her strength, she only lost a pair of eyes. Wasn't that too easy on her?
"You …" Qiao Qiao was still beside Die'er's ear, whispering softly.
"Haha, Miss is really smart." Die'er couldn't help but laugh when she heard Qiao yet again. She then looked at Qiao once more with praise, "It's because there are so many such useless things in the Imperial Palace that Miss suffered for nothing!"
There was still a hint of a smile on Qiao Qiao's face. This Die'er was indeed one of hers. The word 'dog with power' came out of her mouth, and she actually used it quite perfectly.
"Alright, hurry up and do this. In less than two days, that palace maid will pay for her evil words!" Qiao Qiao continued to sneer. Although she never bullies others, if others bully her, then don't blame her … He was going to be cruel and merciless!
"Yes, Dia'Er will do it right away." Die'er smiled slowly and walked out of the palace.
"Halt!" At the door, the guard stopped Die'er, who looked excited.
"What?" Die'er frowned slightly.
"Only when you eat three meals a day can you leave the cold palace." The guard said mercilessly.
"Who set it? Is it impossible for my young mistress to be hungry again?" Besides, it's late winter, and I'm just going out to fill the fire for Miss. " Die'er said with a roguish tone.
"This …"
The two guards at the door looked at each other. Although the person inside was dressed in sin, the Emperor had personally ordered for the master and his servant not to let anything happen to them. A few days ago, Lord Yan and Mu had come again to look after them.
"What is it? Do you want to see my Young Miss being starved and frozen inside? " Die'er raised her eyebrows. In the past few days, she had been living with Qiao Qiao day and night. It was hard for her not to learn some terrifying expressions.
"But …" The two guards were still extremely conflicted. However, in the end, they moved away from Die'er's stave.
Die'er couldn't help laughing to herself. It was true that she had stayed with the little miss for a long time, so her speech was much better than before.
Thinking of this, she strode towards the palace. In her heart, she was still thinking of the idea that the young miss had given her. She really wanted to see how the little palace maid would suffer from this earlier.
At this moment, Qiao Qiao who was at the Cold Palace was exposing his arms and rolling up his sleeves, ready to start a big fight.
In the past, the cold palace had no one to take care of it, and once it was abandoned, it would become abandoned. But now that she, Qiao Qiao, still lived in this place, she naturally had to make the cold palace look like an orchid in the depths of the palace.
In the modern era, it wasn't as if she had never planted a flower seed bean before. When she thought of the beginning, her favorite was to plant a few Purple Smoked Flowers in her Master's courtyard, and although these Purple Smoked Flowers bloomed normally, it was still a rare occurrence. She had asked He Ming You for a long time to obtain them, but who would have thought that the moment she entered the cold palace, she would find out that there were a lot of Purple Smoked Flowers in her hands.
So now, it was unknown whether it was because she wanted to plant flowers in this desolate land, or because she wanted to plant land because of the Purple Smoked Flower Seed that could only be found by chance and not sought.
She thought that ever since she had transmigrated, she had been lingering in the imperial court, fighting with Minister Wang Sun for intelligence and courage. With great difficulty, she had escaped from the imperial court, entered the Demon Palace, and played with the Demon Lord's mind. Now, she could finally calm down and do what she liked.
As she worked on her brain, her thoughts raced. In just a few moments, she had renovated the entire wasteland. All she needed to do was to sow, fertilize, and water it.
"Creak ~" The door of the cold palace was pushed open once again, but Qiao Qiao still looked down at the seed below his feet without turning his head, and couldn't help but click his tongue, "Die'er, come soon, I've already laid down all these flowers. Next spring, a large area of Purple Smoke Flowers will bloom here."
Behind her, what responded was not Die'er's joyful laughter, but rather a moment of silence.
Qiao Qiao could not help but secretly frown. When he turned around, he saw Yan Mo Chen standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Qiao's back, frowning.
"It's you." The smile on Qiao Qiao's face disappeared and was replaced with a calm expression. He couldn't help but reveal an indifferent and distant expression.
"I did not expect that you would live a leisurely and comfortable life in this cold palace." Yan Mo Chen said slowly. His tone was soft, but it was not clear if he was happy or angry.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's care, the sinners are doing quite well." Qiao Qiao said with cold brows.
"Hur hur." Yan Mo Chen suddenly laughed coldly, he stepped forward slightly and grabbed Qiao Qiao's arm, which was still in his hand.
"What are you doing!" Qiao Qiao was still painfully clenched by him, his brows tightly knitted together in displeasure.
"Do you think that I've driven you into the cold palace so that you can live as freely as you wish?" Yan Mo Chen's face was cold and handsome, but the sternness in his eyes was not concealed.
"What other tricks does the emperor have up his sleeve? Use them on me, the sinner. I'm wearing a body of sin, so dying isn't enough for you." Qiao Qiao said coldly.
"Do you want to die?" Yan Mo Chen frowned, "I won't let you do as you wish!" As he spoke, he swung his arm, causing Qiao Qiao's petite body to stagger back a few steps.
"Hehe, Qiao Qiao is still in my hands. It would be difficult for you to die even if you want to." Yan Mo Chen looked at Qiao Qiao attentively. Even though he was dressed in coarse clothes and was covered in dirt, his entire body was filled with a noble aura that could not be ignored. He suddenly frowned and felt a piercing pain in his heart.
"It's better to die than to live. Why would I want to die?" Qiao Qiao was not infuriated by Yan Mo Chen's words, but spoke with a proud expression.
"I would like to see how well you think." The more he looked at Qiao Qiao who still did not care, the more fury was hidden in his heart. He was willing to see Qiao Qiao who was still kneeling down like an ant in front of him, begging for his forgiveness. Perhaps if that was the case, he would not pay any attention to her.
There was still a hint of a smile on Qiao Qiao's face. She wanted to see what other tricks he still had to deal with her!
"From today onwards, you will be washed and sent to the entrance of the Palace every night, someone will receive you." Yan Mo Chen let out a cold snort, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. He wanted to insult this woman, be it mentally, physically, or anywhere else.
Qiao Qiao was still shocked. The faint smile from earlier froze on her face. She would do anything that Yan Mo Chen told her to, just wash herself and send it to his bedroom?
Forgive her for not being able to do it!
"This is not a discussion with you, but an imperial edict." Yan Mo Chen could see the refusal in Qiao Qiao's eyes. He suddenly smiled coldly. That was the look that he wanted to see from this woman.
Panic, confusion, even reluctance!
It just so happened that the more reluctant she was, the more he was going to let her break his bottom line!
The moment he finished speaking, Yan Mo Chen pursed his lips and smiled. He flicked his sleeves and walked out of the cold palace.
Qiao Qiao's face was still filled with anger as he stared coldly at Yan Mo Chen's leaving figure. He was clearly asking her to prepare to sleep, but …
She secretly smiled and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She will go, she will definitely go on time every night. As for the maid … It all depended on whether he had the luck to enjoy it!
