The Southern Chu was huge. Zhao Xiaoxue sat in the carriage and looked around at the magnificent buildings. She could not help but shake her head and sigh.

"Fortunately, I'm riding on a horse carriage. If I were to walk, I don't know how long I'd have to walk for!"

Just as Zhao Xiaoxue finished speaking, the carriage gradually stopped.

"Princess, please get off the carriage!"

The horse carriage stopped as Xia Yu respectfully called out to them from outside. Zhao Xiaoxue gently lifted the curtain and looked around. It was similar to the buildings she had seen in the window just now, all tall and imposing pillars and stone walls. There weren't any pavilions or pavilions. However, this place did not look like a sleeping quarters.

"Your servant greets the Southern Princess Consort!"

Zhao Xiaoxue was still carefully observing her surroundings when a somewhat sharp male voice suddenly sounded. After searching for a long time, she found that the person was behind Xia Yu, he was wearing a crimson red robe, wearing a high crown, and carried a floating speck of dust in his hand. Although she did not know who the other person was, Zhao Xiaoxue was able to guess his identity.

"Esteemed wangfei, this is Eunuch Li by the empress dowager's side. He came specifically to guide the way for esteemed wangfei!"

So it was the eunuch who came to lead the way. As expected, this was not the destination.

"Then I'll be troubling Eunuch Li!"

Zhao Xiaoxue knew that this brat was even more difficult to deal with than Hades, so she didn't dare to offend these eunuchs.

Seeing that the wangfei was so polite, Xia Yu felt more at ease. This Eunuch Li was the empress dowager's favorite. If he offended him, it wouldn't be a good thing.

"The Southern Princess is too polite. Let's go!"

The Southern Wangfei's attitude made Eunuch Li very satisfied. He didn't say much as he turned around and walked in front.

"This... Xia Yu, how far is it now? "

Zhao Xiaoxue whispered after Eunuch Li left.

"This, this subordinate does not know!"

Xia Yu truly did not know. Although he had been in the Southern King's Estate for several years, he had never been to the imperial harem.

"Sigh!" "Forget it, let's go!"

Zhao Xiaoxue called Xia Yu to come with her, but Xia Yu just stood there.

"Your subordinate cannot go in with the Southern Princess Consort!"

The place that wangfei wanted to go was the imperial harem. Ordinary men wouldn't dare to enter that place.

"Ah?" It means that I should go alone? "

For some reason, Zhao Xiaoxue really didn't want to meet the esteemed empress dowager by herself, especially after the first meeting. She felt that the empress dowager was a little terrifying, even though she was indeed Chu Yufeng's mother and also her mother-in-law.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, the empress dowager is waiting for you at Yongan Palace. Please follow this servant over quickly!"

Eunuch Li urged her. No matter how reluctant Zhao Xiaoxue was, she could only dejectedly follow behind him. She wondered why the empress dowager had summoned her. Could it be another accompanying death?

If it was before, Zhao Xiaoxue would definitely find a thousand reasons to refuse, but now, she had already decided that if Chu Yufeng wanted her to accompany him in death, she would naturally be willing to do so. Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxue looked at the golden seal on her palm.

"Wow, look, it's here! "Come here!"

Zhao Xiaoxue was thinking about something when she heard the excited and anxious voice of a woman nearby. She could not help but raise her head in curiosity.

He saw three women in green dresses sprawled on a fake mountain not far away. They seemed to be looking at something, and they were especially focused. They didn't even notice that someone was already nearing behind them.

"How dare you make a ruckus outside Yongan palace?! If we alarm Esteemed Empress Dowager, she'll definitely cut off your tongues!"

Eunuch Li stepped forward, swept his gaze across the crowd, and spoke with an aggressive tone.

"Coming, coming!"

Unfortunately, the three palace maids lying on the fake mountain didn't have any reaction. They were still focused on their own matters, leaving Eunuch Li behind, not responding in the slightest.

"You all …"

Eunuch Li gritted his teeth in anger when he was ignored by the palace maids, especially when the Southern Princess was standing behind him. Naturally, he felt even more humiliated, so he swept the dust away forcefully, causing the palace maids to feel pain in their waists.

"Who is it?"

The palace maid was originally very angry, but when she turned her head and saw that it was Eunuch Li, who held a floating speck of dust in his hand, she was immediately startled. The three of them hurriedly fell from the fake mountain and knelt in front of Eunuch Li.

"This servant will participate in Eunuch Li's meeting. This servant knows her wrongs and asks that this servant let the servant go!"

The palace maids and the other two men kneeled on the ground to plead for mercy. However, when had Eunuch Li ever been ignored by others? The resentment in their hearts was not so easily dispelled.

"You palace daughters are too audacious! What kind of place do you think this is? How dare you yell and shout? Hurry up and receive your punishment from me!"

Eunuch Li said as he prepared to leave with the three palace maids.

"This... "Eunuch Li, that …"

Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't believe that Eunuch Li had left just like that.

"Southern Princess Consort, please wait. This servant will be back soon!"

Looking at the few people leaving, Zhao Xiaoxue sighed in her heart. This Eunuch Li was really a stingy person. But she didn't hear his words and still wanted to investigate to the end? However, Zhao Xiaoxue was also curious, what were the three palace maids looking at?

Seeing that there was no one around and that there was nothing to do, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but want to satisfy her curiosity. She slowly walked to the side of the fake mountain and climbed a few times. Soon, she arrived at the opposite side of the mountain.

It turned out that there was a tree-lined path opposite the fake mountain. It was similar to the path she had walked on earlier, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.

"Nothing?"

"Of course not, This King can't let you keep on peeking at him!"

Zhao Xiaoxue was startled when someone behind her answered. She quickly turned around and saw a young man with a golden crown and brown robe staring at her.

"You … I... I didn't peek at you! "

As Zhao Xiaoxue spoke, she slid down from the fake mountain. Although the other party's appearance was not bad, but compared to Chu Yufeng, he lacked the charm of a mature man.

"Why aren't you admitting it after peeking? If it were not for the fact that you look so good, This King would not have bothered with you! "

As the man spoke, he strode forward and stopped the woman in front of him. When she saw him blocking her way, Zhao Xiaoxue took a detour. Just now, this person called himself Wang Lu, so he must be a relative of an imperial family. No matter what, she shouldn't offend him, so Zhao Xiaoxue wanted to leave.

"You're not allowed to leave. Look at you, these aren't any concubines of the palace, but they don't seem like palace maids either. Speak, just who are you?" Do you know that not just anyone can enter this palace? "

The man was really curious about the woman in front of him. Just now, he had taken a glance and thought that she looked pretty good, but now that he had taken a closer look, he found out that she was not only good-looking, but also impeccably beautiful.

Moreover, although he didn't interact much with her, the man could feel that this beauty was definitely a formidable character, and the more thorny the rose, the more lovable she would be.

"Why should I tell you? "I've already said that it was a misunderstanding. Please move aside!"

Zhao Xiaoxue did not like to be entangled with this kind of glib white face.

"Yo, the beauty is going to get angry! I'm afraid you don't know yet, but This King is especially interested in a beauty with thorns. Therefore, the more you are like this, the less This King will let you go! "

The man continued to stand in front of Zhao Xiaoxue with an embarrassed face.

"Well, what do you want?"

Zhao Xiaoxue tried several different directions, but they were all blocked by the person in front of her. Since this was the case, she decided not to leave. In this palace, she believed that he wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

"Hehe, a beauty just stole a peek at This King. Presumably, she is also very fond of This King. This King also falls in love with beauties at first sight, so..."

As the man said this, he was about to step forward when Zhao Xiaoxue noticed that he was staring at her with glowing eyes.

"Stop, don't come over here. You said it earlier, this is the Imperial Palace, not a place for you to act presumptuously!"

Zhao Xiaoxue suddenly became worried. This man's actions didn't seem like he would be restrained. She was really afraid that he would do something bad to her.

"Haha, of course I know this is the palace, otherwise, beauty, you would have been in my arms a long time ago. However, as long as you're not the emperor's concubine, I'll get your hands on you sooner or later. So, why don't you let me kiss you now?"

As the man spoke, he rushed forward.

"Humph, he's actually a lecher!"

Seeing that the man was about to get close, Zhao Xiaoxue leaned on the fake mountain, broke off a piece of soil from the fake mountain, and, while the man was unprepared, quickly threw the soil out.

Ah!

The man hadn't thought that this woman would actually dare to attack him. Because they were too close, there was no way to dodge. He only felt a sharp pain on his forehead, and that woman actually used a lump of mud to smash his forehead.

"Damn it, I won't let you off, woman!"

The man endured the pain and stretched out his hands in an attempt to restrain the woman.

Zhao Xiaoxue wasn't stupid enough to stand on the spot and wait for the man to take revenge on her. When the man had a reaction, she had already started running frantically with her skirt held high.

"Want to run?" It's not that easy! "

Men would not let this woman run away. Zhao Xiaoxue did not care about what the people behind her said, she only ran with all her might because she believed that if she ran, she would have the chance to escape. If she didn't run, she would definitely be caught.

"Halt!"

The man originally wanted to easily catch her, but he didn't expect this woman to be so delicate. She was exceptionally fast in running, and it seemed that he had no choice but to use his spiritual energy. The man circulated his spirit energy and sped up. He was only one step away from capturing the woman.

Ah!" Don't capture me!

Zhao Xiaoxue had already done her best, but this guy actually had the skill. Seeing that she was right behind him, Zhao Xiaoxue had nowhere to hide. She could only close her eyes and tightly grab a tree beside her.

Zhao Xiaoxue always thought that the first one to be attacked would be her back, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

"What's going on?"

Could it be that the person was kind enough to let her go? Although this possibility was too small, Zhao Xiaoxue still carefully turned her head and looked behind her. She was curious, that person really did not appear and did not dare to relax her guard. When Zhao Xiaoxue looked around, she really did not see anyone.

"Hmm? It really disappeared! "

Only when no one was chasing after her did Zhao Xiaoxue get the chance to take a closer look at her surroundings. She had actually run into a yard, and the inside of the yard was surrounded by big trees, looking rather eerie.

"This can't be a haunted house, right?"

Zhao Xiaoxue also didn't want to make any wild guesses, but if it wasn't a terrifying mansion, that person wouldn't have dared to chase after her. In this special period, even if it was a haunted house, Zhao Xiaoxue could only hide here for the time being.

Carefully climbing the stairs, Zhao Xiaoxue chose one of the two entrances and slowly walked forward.

The left side of the passageway was filled with trees. The right side of the passageway was a wall. What was behind this wall? Of course, Zhao Xiaoxue wanted to know what was at the end of the tunnel. With some curiosity, Zhao Xiaoxue slowly moved forward.

"Muhou, are you really planning on doing this?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was only resting on the wall, she didn't expect that she would still be able to hear the sounds coming from the wall.

"Of course, as long as Feng Er likes it, This Dowager will help him achieve it!"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"It's the Empress Dowager!"

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't expect the empress dowager to be talking to someone else inside the room.

"What about the Southern Princess? What should she do? "

The person speaking was a young woman. From her tone, she seemed to be very concerned about the Southern Princess, which surprised Zhao Xiaoxue.

"I've already ordered someone to summon her into the palace. This matter concerns Feng Er's life, so she shouldn't object!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxue became even more puzzled. Just what was going on?

"Besides, she has no right to object. I have already decided this for Feng Er!"

Her Majesty was resolute.

"But Imperial Mother, I wonder if the Southern King will …" "She doesn't agree. After all, the Southern King seems to only have good feelings for the Southern Wangfei. He doesn't seem to care about the other girls at all!"

The woman continued to offer her opinion.

"Sigh!" As long as there is a chance to save Feng'er, I will not let it go. No matter what this method is, I will try it! "

Her Majesty once again expressed her attitude.

"Save Chu Yufeng?"

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't expect the empress dowager to find a way to save Chu Yufeng. As long as she could, no matter what the empress dowager said, she wouldn't object.

"Strange, this little plum has been gone for a while, why isn't he here yet?" This Dowager truly wishes that I could immediately send him to the Southern King's Mansion! "

The empress dowager waited anxiously.

"I'm here! I am here! "

Knowing the empress dowager's plans, how could Zhao Xiaoxue still stay? She pounded on the wall, hoping to let the people inside know that she was outside. Unfortunately, the stone wall was simply too sturdy.

"Muhou, my daughter-in-law always feels that the method of saving someone in the Empire of Dongyue is really strange. Why does it have to be used to save someone …?" Beautiful … Not only that, the people of Yue Country had no idea what was going on with the body of the Southern King. The method they came up with, wouldn't they … Is there some other motive? "

"Beauty?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was originally trying very hard to beat the wall, but when she heard the other party mention beauties, the eagerness she felt immediately lessened by quite a bit.

"Queen, you're overthinking it. No matter what, This Dowager wants Feng Er to give it a try. Perhaps, it really will have some effect!"

Her Majesty was determined.
