Soon, the news that Sheng Wu was confined to the Cining Palace spread.

The people in the palace were surprised at the emperor's drastic measures, but at the same time they were terrified because everyone in the palace already knew that the empress dowager had cruelly destroyed her own concubine's sister's appearance in front of everyone.

After all, Sheng Wu still has the General's Mansion behind her, even though she is under house arrest.

The harem has always been a place where people change their attitudes according to the situation, and few people dare to really make things difficult for Sheng Wu.

Even the palace maids and eunuchs would take the initiative to bow respectfully when they saw people from the Cining Palace.

Of course, the delayed selection of concubines was also presided over by the two imperial concubines.

However, as they were choosing, they both discovered that Sheng Wu had already selected the good-looking ones into the list!

Well, then what are they choosing? How are they eliminating potential enemies?

This made the two imperial concubines very angry.

Xiao Luochen was not in the mood to choose a concubine, so the matter of conferring the title of concubine was put on hold.

And ever since Sheng Wu was confined to the Cining Palace, the two hadn't seen each other for about seven or eight days.

Originally, Heituanzi was afraid of delaying the progress of the task.

However, the system reminded him from time to time that Xiao Luochen's favorability changed like a roller coaster, which made Heituanzi amazed.

It turns out that some men are really two-faced. One moment they're questioning you with a sword, and the next moment their favorability levels fluctuate, finally stopping at minus 20!

......

late at night.

Inside the Cining Palace.

Sheng Wu had just finished bathing and was not wearing heavy and gorgeous palace clothes, but a simple close-fitting inner dress with crabapple embroidery.

She was wearing a milky white moonlight veil, her hair hanging casually, revealing her delicate collarbone and a pair of white arms as bright as lotus roots.

She lay on her side on the chaise longue, holding a storybook in one hand and supporting her head lazily with the other. Under the hazy moonlight, she was content beside a lush, century-old locust tree.

The breeze blew, the veil fluttered slightly, and the delicate figure shaking her head was exciting. Especially, the beautiful face that had just come out of the bath, which was slightly seven parts lotus out of water, yet three parts seductive.

It is something that will make any man's eyes light up when he sees it.

Of course, this is not necessarily the case for fake men.

Look, a dark red figure jumped down from the wall without making any sound.

Isn't it that he has no interest at all in Sheng Wu's appearance, which was considered a flash of spring light by the ancients?

Even his sinister pupils narrowed in disgust, feeling that it was immoral and shameless!

The system's damn villain alarm sounded in my mind again.

[Warning, warning, villains are on the scene! ]

So, Sheng Wu knew he was coming, but she was still concentrating on the notebook in her hand, oh, the one with illustrations, reading it with great interest and a happy look on her face.

However, we will still satirize what needs to be satirized.

"Why, Lord Pei, you eunuchs are walking so quietly, are you a gentleman on the beam?"

The back door was clearly left for him, but he insisted on climbing over the wall. He's crazy!

Oh, and sooner or later she will have to deal with the system's shrill lackey BGM whenever the villain shows up!

Hearing this, Pei Yuqing, who was about to leave and didn't want to see Sheng Wu being so shameless, forced himself to move his feet from outside to inside.

Not leaving!

"If the women in your general's mansion are all dressed in filthy clothes and speak in a lewd manner like prostitutes, then we eunuchs can do the same!"

Besides, wasn’t it this crazy woman who sent someone to ask him to come?

Pei Yuqing walked slowly, his dark red flying fish suit standing straight, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and feminine eyebrows and eyes, with the frost of ice and snow condensed over the years.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and skin that is much whiter and smoother than that of the average man.

If Xiao Luochen is the majestic emperor, handsome and domineering with aura of authority without even getting angry, making people submit to him, then.

Pei Yuqing, on the other hand, could have been a fairy in the shadows of the moon, but instead he had to live in the darkness, like a dormant poisonous snake, his body covered with hurtful barbs and sharp fangs.

It's chilling.

The thin lips, as red as peach blossoms in March, were slightly pursed, and the moment she opened her mouth, she spoke vicious words that hurt the enemy a thousand times and hurt herself eight hundred times.

After all, it was such an unbearable humiliation for a famous young lady from a noble family in Shengjing to be compared to a prostitute.

Of course, Sheng Wu was not so aware of this.

He sneered, "Ha, don't say that. If I really go to a brothel, it must be the presence of the most beautiful prostitute. If Lord Pei wants to try something, even if we are old acquaintances, it won't work if the money is too little!"

"This is a different price, you have to pay extra!"

“…”

Pei Yuqing was once again surprised and speechless by this woman's unwillingness to be humiliated and her unbridled behavior.

This woman really refreshed his understanding of all women.

Dignified and generous, gentle and virtuous, lively and innocent, she had none of that, but was better than any other woman in the harem he had ever seen.

Even more cruel, ruthless and shameless!

Even though he was used to hiding his emotions, he would always be mentally prepared every time he saw Sheng Wu.

But I can also be irritated by her arrogant and bad attitude, and her unrestrained and shameful words!

Pei Yuqing took a deep breath and continued to hold the hilt of the sword in his hand, trying his best to say less than ten words and not to attack her!
