Chapter Fourteen: Purity
Gu Congxin quietly landed on the windowsill and watched Nan Wan and the third male lead bickering inside. However, after watching for a few minutes, he noticed that it was too hot outside, so a group of eunuchs rushed in, led by Yuanbao, and dragged Duan Xingyue away.
Duan Xingyue punched and kicked a group of eunuchs, but he couldn't withstand the onslaught of the other side, who used one leg each to lift the men up.
"What are you doing? I was invited by Prime Minister Lu to the palace to cook for His Majesty. You eunuchs dare to touch me! Let me go!"
Nan Wan was dumbfounded.
Holy crap, is she going to witness palace bullying again on her second day after transmigrating? That's way too exciting!
It's unclear whether it was the mention of eunuchs that provoked the childless old eunuch Yuanbao, but the head eunuch's chrysanthemum-like face instantly displayed a terrifying expression.
“This servant knows that Master Duan was invited back by Prime Minister Lu. However, we have heard that Master Duan is a well-known womanizer outside the palace. We are worried that Master Duan may not be able to keep his mind at peace in the palace. Therefore, we have asked this servant to take Master Duan to have some peace and quiet.”
Yuanbao's sinister gaze landed on Duan Xingyue's philtrum, and he smiled smugly.
Nan Wan covered her mouth in horror, and could only sigh as she watched Duan Xingyue crying and wailing.
Sigh, this handsome young man, although he had a sharp tongue, was still quite charming. How did he suddenly become a eunuch?
Ouch, that's terrifying.
At this moment, Nan Wan still felt like she was dreaming; it all seemed too unreal, and she didn't believe it at all.
On the contrary, Gu Congxin, who was squatting by the window, heard Lu Lingjun say that he was going to castrate Duan Xingyue, and immediately felt the wickedness of society.
Ha, the old phoenix is truly terrifying when she gets jealous; she'll cut off someone's fifth limb!
Duan Xingyue struggled violently for a while, but was eventually dragged out, leaving Nan Wan squatting in the kitchen continuing to tend the fire.
It was around noon when the head of the imperial kitchen came and asked her to take care of Duan Xingyue.
Duan Xingyue was in charge of cooking for His Majesty, and Prime Minister Lu had given instructions that no one should die.
She followed them in a daze, until she entered the dimly lit room, smelled the foul stench of blood, and saw the person's pale face, looking as if they could die at any moment.
She then realized that none of this was fake; it was all real. She had truly traveled through time; it wasn't a fantasy or a dream.
In this cannibalistic palace, she, a mere palace maid, could die at any moment, silently and without a trace.
Duan Xingyue saw the little palace maid standing at the door, crying and afraid to come in, and said to herself with a self-deprecating smile, "Even you despise a useless person like me?"
Nan Wan shook her head frantically: "No, I'm just a little scared, you bled a lot."
"Then go and fetch a basin of water and help me wipe myself down." Duan Xingyue was panting in pain.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there." Nan Wan wiped away her tears, turned around and ran out.
Gu Congxin waited outside.
The matter of Duan Xingyue, the eunuch, has been brought forward, and another transmigrated woman who looks exactly like the female lead has appeared. Gu Yanjing is also out of control, and another even more uncontrollable Lu Lingjun has appeared. This world simply cannot follow the original plot.
Let's play ball.
Nan Wan was in such a hurry that she didn't notice Gu Congxin at all until Gu Congxin called her.
"Hey, you beautiful girl up ahead, wait a minute." Gu Congxin spread out his wings.
Nan Wan, with a dirty face, looked at Gu Congxin and accidentally burped.
