"So that's why Mother punished Niannian by making her copy the rules a few months ago."
Anqing suddenly understood, and the two of them, one after the other, explained everything clearly to everyone. Their gazes towards Liu Qingmei and the other woman had changed considerably.
As the Third Prince's fiancée, Xu Nian didn't want to break ties with Jiang Yuanlang at this time.
He held down the two girls and handed them handkerchiefs. "That happened so long ago. I wasn't angry today. If your clothes are dirty, just go change them."
That's exactly what she wanted.
Liu Qingmei's expression changed, and she immediately called to a palace maid standing to the side, "The roads in the palace are complicated, so the county princess should go with the palace maid."
I'd like to see what you're really up to today.
As they passed by, Xu Nian glanced at them subtly. Before she'd taken two steps, Gu Zhan grabbed her sleeve. "Shall I go with you?"
It was hard to miss that jealous gaze. She smiled and leaned closer to Gu Zhan. "No need, I can manage on my own." Her eyes and brows were full of affection, and her intimate posture made many unmarried girls, some of whom weren't even engaged, blush.
Having achieved her goal, Xu Nian followed the palace servants to the inner palace without even glancing at the reactions of those behind her.
[Hey streamer, this isn't the right route.]
[Stop! Stop! This isn't about going to the harem, it's getting more and more off-topic!]
She had visited the palace many times, so it was inevitable that some viewers in the live stream would remember most of the complex layout. The surrounding palaces were becoming increasingly unfamiliar.
Many people flooded the live chat with messages telling her to be careful and not to go with that person anymore.
Xu Nian felt a warmth in her heart and winked playfully. "Don't worry, everyone. Next, I'll perform a magic trick to make someone disappear."
"Watch closely!" She flicked her sword-like fingers upward from her sleeve, chanting softly, "All things are as I wish, the wind rises and the sky changes, so be it! Go!"
Others might not notice, but the comments on the screen followed Xu Nian's every move.
After a dizzying spin, the view widened considerably, and the two palace servants walked ahead, with clearly nothing in between. They seemed oblivious, leading the group forward.
He would occasionally glance back to make sure the person was following, and his expression remained perfectly normal.
[The immersive windmill-making experience made me dizzy.]
[This is a bit creepy, what are you doing, streamer? Why can't they see you, yet it seems like they can?]
Xu Nian hid behind a rock, holding her breath and quietly following the palace servants' steps. "This is what my newly restored magic can do—an illusion. And teleportation too. How about that? Pretty cool, right?"
People in the bullet comments are not bound by illusions, which is why they can't see anything.
But in the eyes of the two palace maids, it was still Xu Nian following them, while the real person had long since fallen behind them.
She watched as they turned a corner and arrived at a palace she didn't recognize. One of them struck her in mid-air, where it should have been at the neck.
Then, together with another person, they helped the person into the palace.
"Everything is ready, now it's up to you." The two came out, and just then a burly man appeared in front of them. "Remember, you have to make her feel like she's in ecstasy, then you'll get enough money."
Xu Nian suddenly knew what they were going to do.
His face instantly turned cold, and his hand, which was supporting him on the stone, clenched into a fist!
"You're angry already?" A female voice suddenly came from behind her. She quickly turned around and held a yellow talisman in front of her.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the wary expression on his face softened slightly. "It's you?"
Princess Fukang wore a fiery red embroidered phoenix palace dress, and her jade crown was clearly not an ordinary object, yet she sat casually on the ground of the Cold Palace.
He didn't care that his skirt was covered in dust; he calmly watched her from the palace wall.
Judging from her appearance, she seemed to have been here for a long time, or perhaps she had followed him all the way here. "How did you end up here?" Xu Nian asked directly, puzzled.
Fu Kang slowly got up from the ground and walked over to Xu Nian. "Don't be so wary of me. I originally wanted to help you. I didn't expect you to have this ability."
She had just witnessed Xu Nian's fingers twirling a few times, and then suddenly her vision blurred. When she opened her eyes again, Xu Nian was still standing between the two palace maids.
But for some reason, a Lady of Fu'an County appeared behind her. Sensing something was amiss, she followed quietly.
"I heard you treated that bastard Jiang Yuanqing's illness too?" She curiously approached, circling around him. "How do you know so much? Can you teach me?"
...
Is this really the same arrogant Princess Fukang I met recently?
Xu Nian felt a little dizzy under her gleaming eyes. She considered herself a supermodel in the student union. She never expected that someone could be even more amazing than her.
Some of them couldn't keep up and took two steps back.
This person actually knows about the Second Prince's health condition, so he must have a close relationship with Jiang Yuanqing.
“Teaching you is no problem, but there will be an exam.” She put on a serious face. “We’ll talk about that later, someone’s coming.”
She hurriedly pulled Fukang into the building's blind spot, and soon a large group of people, led by Liu Qingmei, came over.
Gu Zhan was the fastest, his brows furrowed. If the Second Prince hadn't stopped him, he probably would have used his lightness skill to fly over on the spot.
Surrounded by people, the Imperial Concubine walked to the gate of this secluded palace and asked, "Are you sure Princess Fu'an is inside?"
The palace maid who brought her stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Princess of Fu'an is inside."
"Weren't you taking Niannian to change clothes?" Anqing looked at the palace, which was so dilapidated that it didn't look like a royal palace at all. "Why did you bring her here?"
The palace maid trembled slightly. "Yes, it was the Princess of Fu'an who asked me to bring her here. I don't know anything about it."
"Enough." The Imperial Concubine coldly interrupted their conversation. "Whether the County Princess is here or not, we'll find out by going in and taking a look. Why should the Princess make things difficult for a palace maid? Open the door."
At her command, some people couldn't contain themselves and, together with the palace servants, pushed open the palace gates.
Calling it a palace is not quite accurate, as the courtyard was pitifully small and contained only one room. The heavy gate was pushed open completely, and faint sounds from inside reached everyone's ears.
Su Wanting and An Qing turned pale, listening to the woman's moans and the man's heavy breathing inside, their entire bodies felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!
Gu Zhan had already been warned by the Second Prince, but even so, listening to the voices inside still burned a fire within him!
