Chapter 322: Entering the Palace Again

After she said this, Xiao Tu didn't react at all, but Cui Liu's face turned pale. She quickly raised her hand to pull her sleeve, and while pulling, she secretly looked at Xiao Tu with a frightened look.

Others may not believe it, but she has seen the Dugong's wife with her own eyes and knows what a terrible person she is. She doesn't want to be implicated by Cui Liu's stupidity!

When Cui Yan saw Cui Liu pulling her, she immediately frowned and glared at her, "What are you doing?"

Cui Liu covered her lips and whispered, "Do you want to die? Look carefully at where we are. How dare you talk to the other person like this?"

Cui Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that all the maids around were looking at her expressionlessly, their eyes as still as if they were looking at a dead person.

Cui Liu suddenly realized that this was the Governor's Mansion, the residence of Governor Ning, who controlled the entire court and killed people like crazy. It was the devil's den that the palace servants talked about in fear.

It's probably because she has been living too comfortably these days thanks to Concubine Gao's favor that she actually wants to show off here. I'm afraid she doesn't want to leave alive.

The more Cui Liu thought about it, the more frightened she became. She quickly bowed and said, "My humble servant's words are rude. Please forgive me, Madam Dugong. Our Imperial Concubine invites you here because she really has something to discuss with you. I beg you to do me the honor of seeing her!"

Xiao Tu had no interest in the palace maid who was about to cry with fear. What she was interested in was the one standing next to her. This girl named Cui Liu was really an infatuated girl. She was obviously afraid of her in her heart, but she still came for her lover!

A maid stepped forward and said, "Madam, if you don't want to go..."

Xiao Tu raised her hand, then curled her red lips playfully, "How could it be? They've already come to my door, wouldn't it be disrespectful for them if I don't go? I just happen to be bored, maybe there's something fun in the palace~"

She smiled mischievously, stood up and stretched, then put her hands behind her back and skipped along, "Let's go, Xiao Ming, I'll take you to have some fun~"

Li Mingshan, holding a sword, followed after hearing this.

Seeing this, Cui Liu and Cui Yan looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

The Imperial Palace.

The palace maid Cui Yan led the way, pointing to the palace with carved beams and painted rafters as she introduced it to Xiao Tu beside her. "This is the Rongxi Palace where our Imperial Concubine resides. The entire underground is heated, and the garden is like spring all year round, with flowers blooming forever. Isn't it extremely elegant and luxurious?"

The palace maid who returned to her own territory quickly regained her spirits.

This was also her main mission on this trip, to help their imperial concubine win over the wife of the governor and use her for their own purposes.

Xiao Tu looked around after hearing this. It was just so-so, not even one-tenth of the place where she lived. "It's okay!"

Cui Yan was dissatisfied with what she heard and continued, "Our Imperial Concubine has been in great favor for twenty years since she entered the palace. Among the three princes of this dynasty, the eldest and third princes were all born to our Imperial Concubine."

Xiaotu, "Oh."

Cui Liu's face darkened as she continued, "Our Imperial Concubine's reputation for virtue spread far and wide before she even married. She was dignified and elegant, beautiful and intelligent. She was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. Her family background, appearance, manners, conversation, and intelligence were all perfect."

After she finished speaking, she stared at Xiao Tu with extremely serious eyes.

Xiao Tu received her gaze and understood her meaning, so he nodded and praised her, "Ah~, the imperial concubine is really awesome~"
