A group of people walked happily along the winding stone-paved road, and then walked along a wide avenue before finally arriving at the zoo, which was located in a secluded part of the Prince's Palace.
The garden was surrounded by a fence, and inside was a deep pit covered with green grass and fruit trees. Many monkeys of all sizes lived inside.
The pit was divided into several enclosures, and each enclosure housed a different kind of animal.
Next to the enclosure where monkeys are trained is an enclosure for peacocks, and next to that are enclosures for rabbits, squirrels, and so on. There aren't many kinds of animals, but there are plenty of them.
After all, who would set up a garden in their yard just to keep animals?
Only the emperor and the regent could enjoy such a luxurious lifestyle.
"Look, look! There are so many monkeys over there! I never knew monkeys were so agile! Look at them leaping and bounding, just like those guards who can scale walls and leap across rooftops!"
"That's a peacock over there! It's spreading its tail feathers! It's spreading its tail feathers! Is that peacock really spreading its tail feathers? I've only ever seen peacocks spreading their tail feathers in books, I never imagined it would be so beautiful!"
"Wow! That white bunch is so cute! They look like little bunnies. This is the first time I've ever seen so many bunnies. Bunnies are so adorable!"
Many women's eyes lit up with excitement as they kept praising her.
They were mostly women who rarely went out into the wild and seldom saw animals, especially so many at once.
Moreover, these animals are carefully raised and appear to be more docile than wild animals. They did not show any fear even when so many people were watching them.
Even Su Liluo couldn't help but marvel at how extravagant the Regent's Palace was, managing to create a small animal kingdom in its backyard.
She followed the crowd and went closer to take a look, while the Regent's wife's gaze followed Su Liluo's movements.
She was already tired of the zoo, so she calmly and leisurely sat on the high platform behind the crowd, turning her head to give a signal to a maid beside her.
Subsequently, one of the six maids behind her disappeared.
The maid quietly walked into the crowd, stopping beside the group of women where Su Liluo was standing. With a smile, she said, "If you want to see the monkeys climbing the trees and playing more clearly, you can come over here with me."
This spot is closer, and you can even see some mischievous little monkeys imitating human actions!
"Really? Monkeys can imitate humans! That's amazing! I want to see it, I want to see it!"
"I want to go too! Wait for me! Hey, everyone, don't push me, don't push me!"
......
Hearing what the maid said, everyone became even more interested and clamored to follow her to the other side.
Su Liluo also noticed the maid, her eyebrows twitched, and she immediately followed.
When she saw the other side, the place was obviously much narrower than before. When no one was paying attention, she gently shook the railing with her hand.
Sure enough, it's much looser than before.
Looks like they're waiting for her here!
The monkeys here are indeed more lively, and many women are watching them with giggles and laughter, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Su Liluo was pushed into the crowd, and the girls named Zhifu happened to be standing next to her. She quietly slipped the sachet that the maid had given her that morning into her clothes.
At this moment, the lively little monkeys in the garden were jumping around in front of people, making everyone laugh. But unexpectedly, one of the little monkeys stopped abruptly as it passed in front of Lu Zhifu.
"Zhifu, why did the little monkey stop in front of you? Could it be that it was attracted by your beauty?"
"Haha, looks like this little monkey's got a taste for women too! He immediately picked out the prettiest girl in our area!"
"Of course it is, otherwise, with so many of us, why would this little monkey be right in front of Zhifu?!"
"Help! Help! The monkey has gone mad! The monkey has gone mad!"
"ah!!!"
Before the girls could finish their teasing, the little monkey sniffed the air and then, as if possessed, suddenly stretched out its paw to grab Lu Zhifu.
The girls around were so frightened that they all ran away, leaving only Lu Zhifu with her hair being scratched by the monkey, who kept trying to pull her into the garden.
Lu Zhifu screamed. Although her scalp was throbbing terribly, she knew she absolutely could not be dragged away. But the monkey had some incredible strength and kept pulling her away.
As they pulled her to the railing, they suddenly heard a 'creak' and the railing broke. Lu Zhifu was terrified and dragged into the park by the monkeys.
In the blink of an eye, a swarm of monkeys pounced on Lu Zhifu.
In just a few moves, he tore her clothes to shreds.
The scene was horrific.
"Go and see what's going on!"
Just then, the Regent's wife, who was sitting at a distance watching the commotion, suddenly had a bad feeling.
She was sitting far away, and the crowd was chaotic and noisy, so she had no idea who had been dragged into the park by the monkeys.
When the maid reached the edge of the garden and saw that the disheveled woman with unkempt hair was Lu Zhifu, she was instantly horrified.
"Help! Go down and save them!"
When the maid arrived, they realized they needed to call for help. The other noble ladies were already too frightened to know what to do.
When the Regent's wife learned that the person dragged in by the monkey was Lu Zhifu, she almost fainted.
Meanwhile, the regent, who was leading his male relatives on a stroll through the garden to see wild horses and some ferocious beasts, soon learned of the changes that had occurred on the women's side.
He immediately brought his men over.
When he arrived, Lu Zhifu had already been rescued in a disheveled state, wearing a dark cloak and her face covered in bloody scratches.
"What's going on here!"
Gao Changhong roared angrily.
Why are there so many accidents happening today!
I thought that Gao Yufei had finally gotten over the embarrassing situation of framing others, but now she's causing all these hurtful things again!
Although he was of high status and unafraid of offending people, the woman in front of him came from a wealthy family, and it would be a bad thing if something happened to her in his own home.
"this......"
Whether out of anger or fear, the Regent's wife's lips trembled, and she glared fiercely at Su Liluo in the crowd.
According to her own plan, Su Liluo should have been the one dragged into the park by the monkeys, making a fool of herself and ruining her reputation and appearance. How did it become Lu Zhifu instead?
She is also very confused about what exactly happened in the middle.
Su Liluo ignored the Regent's wife's gaze and stood quietly and obediently in the crowd watching the excitement.
Lu Zhifu is not innocent at all. Who told her to hide poison under her fingernails today in an attempt to ruin herself?
The Regent just punished Gao Yufei, not her. Now she can be considered to have gotten justice for herself!
