"Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun! What's wrong with you? I called you so many times but you didn't respond."
A pair of warm hands grabbed Ji Yunhuan's arm from behind, and Ji Yunhuan finally came back to his senses from his deep thoughts. He blinked and turned off the screen. When he turned around, he saw Bai Zhi staring at him anxiously.
Bai Zhi lives with Ji Yunhuan. She seems aloof and doesn't like to talk to others, but she actually has a good heart and always takes care of Ji Yunhuan without leaving any trace.
She secretly stuffed a bundle into Ji Yunhuan's hand and whispered, "Hurry up and find a place to change, don't get sick from the cold."
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she left quickly, not giving Ji Yunhuan any chance to refuse.
Ji Yunhuan was grateful and immediately found a secluded palace to change into her cotton clothes. Bai Zhi was of similar height to her, so the clothes fit her well.
As her body warmed up, Ji Yunhuan's mood also improved a bit. She didn't meet anyone along the way, so she walked and stopped as she pleased, enjoying the leisure time.
By the time we arrived at the gate of Jinhua Palace, the sun had already risen and the snow had melted a lot, making it much easier to sweep.
Ji Yunhuan swept the snow in no time and was about to leave when he saw a large group of people pouring out of the gate of Jinhua Palace.
Walking in the center was the fifth prince, wearing a prince's crown and robes, with a python flying in the clouds embroidered with gold thread on his chest. He wore a golden crown on his head with a ruby on it and eight oriental pearls embedded in it, showing his royal majesty.
The fifth prince was born to Concubine Wu, who was the most favored concubine in the six harems. The fifth prince was also deeply loved by the emperor. Although he was an adult prince who had already left the palace and established his own residence, he was able to hold his birthday banquet in the palace.
It was too late for Ji Yunhuan to hide, so he immediately knelt down with his head lowered very low, trying to minimize his presence.
At the gate of Jinhua Palace, the Fifth Prince smiled gently and said, "It's freezing cold, don't send me off. Go back and serve Mother."
Shuang'er finally had the opportunity to approach the Fifth Prince. She squeezed aside several first-class palace maids and carefully tied the cloak around the Fifth Prince. She looked at him lovingly and said with a blushing face:
"Your Highness doesn't have anyone to serve him, so how can the Imperial Concubine be at ease? The roads are slippery in the snow, so why don't I go with you to serve Your Highness?"
The fifth prince reached out to straighten the collar of his cloak and touched Shuang'er's hand inconspicuously. He had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so how could he not understand what this little palace maid meant.
"I still have to go pay my respects to my father, so why would I bring you along? You can serve me next time I come."
Although Shuang'er felt a little regretful, she felt happy when she thought that the Fifth Prince looked at her differently and even touched her hand.
"Your Highness, take care. Your Highness must remember Shuang'er. Shuang'er will always be waiting for Your Highness."
Several strong eunuchs came carrying a sedan chair. The fifth prince got on the sedan chair surrounded by the crowd and played with the small heater in his hand out of boredom.
He suddenly saw a figure kneeling under the palace wall. Although she was wearing a rough cotton coat, she had an enchanting figure and seemed somewhat familiar.
The fifth prince knocked on the armrest of the sedan chair, and the eunuch serving beside him immediately understood and stopped the sedan chair.
"You, raise your head and let this king see."
Ji Yunhuan's body trembled, as if she was frightened. She deliberately lowered her voice and said in a rough voice, "This servant has an ugly face and dares not look up at you, my lord."
The fifth prince became more and more interested, "Don't be afraid, I will forgive you."
When the head eunuch saw Ji Yunhuan's attire, he knew she was a convict from the convict camp. He immediately stepped forward and said, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you capture her and let His Highness have a good look at her."
The fifth prince still smiled. "It's freezing cold, and I feel sorry for her. Don't scare her."
Although he said this, the Fifth Prince had no intention of stopping the two powerful eunuchs. Ji Yunhuan was roughly dragged over and made to kneel down, and was forced to raise his face by pulling his hair.
It was as if she was an emotionless object that could be admired and played with by others.
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Fifth Prince. He touched Ji Yunhuan's face with interest and said with a smile:
"If you were ugly, there would be no beautiful women in this world. This king remembers you, you are Xiaoyun, and last time I gave you a gold leaf."
Ji Yunhuan felt like her scalp was about to be torn off, her shoulders seemed to be twisted off, and her knees hit the cold floor, causing her to sweat profusely from the pain.
In her previous life, she fainted in the arms of the Fifth Prince. When she woke up, there was already blood on the bed.
Later, the Fifth Prince learned of her life experience and took her to his residence, promising to overturn the Ji family's case. Only then did she willingly follow the Fifth Prince.
The chief eunuch complimented him, saying, "Your Highness is so magnanimous and kind that he has even shown mercy to a small, innocent slave. However, this slave has been so ignorant and offended Your Highness. How should we deal with him?"
The Fifth Prince's lustful and greedy gaze fell on Ji Yunhuan without any scruples. "Take her away. The banquet hasn't started yet. I have plenty of time to properly...deal with her."
Ji Yunhuan struggled hard. The two eunuchs holding her down did not expect her to have so much strength, and they actually allowed her to break free from the shackles.
The Fifth Prince's face darkened, and with more than a dozen eunuchs standing around watching him intently, Ji Yunhuan knew he couldn't escape.
What good would it do if she escaped this time? She was just a criminal slave and could not resist the Fifth Prince's rape.
Ji Yunhuan knelt down again with a plop, looked up at the Fifth Prince, tears in his eyes, and cried with a trembling body:
"I am too filthy to serve the Fifth Prince. I have no intention of resisting, but I simply do not want to offend His Highness. I am truly overwhelmed by your kindness. I beg Your Highness to show me mercy."
