C9 You've got to hide it
"Wen Qing, can I ask you some questions?" If she wanted to leave this place, she would have to get a rough idea of the terrain, so that she wouldn't run around like a headless fly.
"Mm. Miss, what do you want to know? This servant entered the palace at the age of twelve. It has already been nearly four years, and I've heard quite a bit about this palace!" As she busied herself with her work, she turned around to look at her eating and said with a smile.
"Alright, I will ask! "What kind of place is this courtyard I live in? Exactly how big is this palace? What if I get lost inside this palace?" With a thought, Cen Xue turned to ask her.
Wen Qing tidied up her bed for her, while carefully answering her question: "This is called Wenyuan Pavilion, it's just an unremarkable little garden in the imperial harem, but don't worry Miss, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely take you away from here."
Cen Xue's face stiffened. It seemed like this little girl thought that she wanted to become an imperial concubine. However, this couldn't be blamed on her. It was all due to this environment that she was nurtured to such a state.
"This palace is huge! There are many places that I have never been to, but I am more familiar with than the servants in the harem. The head of the harem, empress, lives in the phoenix palace in the East Palace, and a few other palaces around it are the sleeping palaces of several imperial concubines. Most of the imperial concubines live in the West Palace, so our current Wenyuan Pavilion belongs to a remote garden in the West Palace. " Wen Qing paused for a moment, before continuing.
"Young lady, you have just arrived. If you have nothing better to do, you don't need to go out often. The concubines in this palace are not to be trifled with, and each of them have their own background. Young lady, you have just received the Your Majesty's favor, you have to be extremely careful!" Cen Xue listened for a long time, but she did not manage to get to the most important point. However, the rest of her words would never connect with her.
"Wen Qing, you have been in the palace for so many years. Have you never left to visit at home?" Cen Xue only wanted to know the route to leave this place. She had no interest in knowing how big the devil's harem was.
"Of course there is. Every three months, the palace will let us go out the side door in batches to take a look, but on the same day, we must come back. If we don't, we will raid the entire family!"
Her eyes lit up. This girl had finally mentioned the part that interested her. Putting down the tableware, she pulled her along as they chatted. She had to figure out the way out as soon as possible.
Soaking in the hot tub, Cen Xue carefully thought back to what Wen Qing had said in the afternoon. She had the beast plate in her hands, and now she could rely on it to safely leave the palace.
As Cen Xue looked at the kiss marks on her body, she felt that it was exceptionally dazzling. She wanted to retract all of her curiosity, so what did his drinking have to do with her? It did not matter whether he liked to eat people or drink blood, she would definitely escape from here. If she did not leave now, she would probably be tortured to death in her bed or turn into a dried up corpse after drinking blood. This was definitely possible!
She tried her best to wash away the remaining smell of him, but the escape plan had already been prepared in her mind. She didn't know how long she had been washing herself in the room, she only knew that she would not stop until she had washed herself.
As night fell, Cen Xue immediately put on her identity token and sneaked out. However, the terrain here was so chaotic. She hid here and left the West Palace but the huge palace had already knocked her unconscious.
Walking alone in the darkness, she knew that she had already lost her way. Looking around, she didn't see any signs or hints, just like a headless fly. She could only follow the directions given by the moonlight and advance step by step.
When Helian Zhi appeared in her room like last night, but there was no one there, she was angered to the point that he used his energy to split the warm bed into two, his eyes filled with anger
He muttered angrily to himself, "Little thing, it seems that I've underestimated your ability. But you better hide yourself. Don't let me find you so quickly. Otherwise, the game will be too boring."
