Gao Shijie said in a panic, "What should we do? If we can't get into the palace and can't see Sikong Ren, Pei Zhi is in great danger."
“We can’t get in openly; we’ll have to sneak in,” Liu Meiniang said, changing the subject. “But are you sure Sikong Ren won’t blame you after you see him?”
Pei Zhi asked in bewilderment, "Is it my fault?"
"So Zhong Changyuan injured him..." Liu Meiniang hesitated for a while, then said simply, "Some men just like to blame things on women."
"They might think that it was all because of you that he fought with Zhong Changyuan and lost, thus losing face."
Gao Shijie made a disgusted face and said, "Really?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi simply chuckled, "He's not that kind of person."
Gao Shijie was even more shocked, "He's a demon lord, are you sure?"
Otherwise, after all their hard work to see Sikong Ren, Pei Zhi might still be blamed by him.
Don't even mention Pei Zhi, Gao Shijie was so angry he wanted to commit suicide on the spot.
Pei Zhi said very firmly, "Trust me."
Faced with Pei Zhi's resolute gaze, Liu Meiniang had no choice but to nod.
The flying carriage sped forward, and after arriving outside the palace, Liu Meiniang prepared several sets of maid's clothes.
"Me?" Gao Shijie pointed to the maid's clothes, then to himself.
Liu Meiniang said urgently, "Hurry up, time waits for no one."
Gao Shijie hesitated, but there was nothing he could do, so he quickly changed into a maid's clothes.
Liu Meiniang cast a spell, and soon a dog hole appeared in front of her.
"Seriously? You're making me wear women's clothes, and now you want me to crawl through a dog hole?"
No matter what Gao Shijie said, he wouldn't go through with it anymore. If word got out, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.
"There are barriers on the walls. The only way to avoid being discovered is to crawl through a hole. Let's hurry."
Without saying a word, Pei Zhi lifted her skirt and slipped inside first.
Liu Meiniang hurriedly followed behind.
Seeing this, Gao Shijie gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, closed his eyes, and could only follow along.
"Where is this place?" Pei Zhi was quite familiar with the palace.
But this place was extremely remote; Pei Zhi had never been here before.
Liu Meiniang snorted, "This is where the former Demon Lord's concubines were imprisoned."
"Later, it became a place for maids who made mistakes."
Gao Shijie dusted off his hair and asked curiously, "Why does this look so familiar?"
Liu Meiniang pointed at Pei Zhi without any politeness, "Thanks to her, I've been locked up here several times."
Back when Pei Zhi was in the palace, Liu Meiniang disliked him a lot, and neither of them would give in to the other.
Although Liu Meiniang was ultimately punished, she did not restrain herself afterward.
Pei Zhi waved her hand, signaling Liu Meiniang to stop talking. "Lead the way, lead the way."
Liu Meiniang stepped forward to lead the way, saying, "Let me tell you, there are conditions to my help."
"When you meet the Demon Lord, if he treats you the same as before, ask him to release my father."
Liu Meiniang's help to Pei Zhi was not out of genuine kindness.
The Demon Lord is different now than before, and Liu Meiniang is worried that he will take drastic measures against her father and the elders.
"knew."
Liu Meiniang frowned, "Don't try to fool me."
Pei Zhi pursed her lips: "I won't let him make a deeper mistake."
Once outside the secluded palace, Pei Zhi no longer needed Liu Meiniang to lead the way.
In the palace, Pei Zhi was more familiar with the people than Liu Meiniang.
Gao Shijie followed the two for a while: "Where is Sikong Ren? The palace is so big, where are we going to look for him?"
Liu Meiniang guessed, "Could it be over by the ancient tree? After all, the Demon Lord must be afraid that others will discover that the ancient tree is withered and yellow, so he must be guarding the ancient tree."
At this moment, the three people arrived at a fork in the road.
One side leads towards the ancient tree.
On the other side was the path leading to the sleeping quarters.
Pei Zhi pointed in the direction of the sleeping quarters: "This way."
Liu Meiniang hesitated: "Are you sure?"
"Both of these places are very crowded, and we estimate we only have one chance."
The three of them were too conspicuous, and they relied on their familiarity with the palace to avoid people along the way.
However, there will definitely be many demon guards around the Demon Lord's palace and the ancient tree.
"Come with me."
Pei Zhi was so resolute that Liu Meiniang and Gao Shijie couldn't say anything.
When they encountered people along the way, all three of them kept their heads down, looking like cautious demon maidens.
As the Right Protector emerged from his bedchamber and passed Pei Zhi and the other two, he hesitated for a moment.
Then, the Right Protector attacked Gao Shijie directly.
Where can you find a maid who's about his height? She must be a spy.
Gao Shijie reacted quickly and dodged away.
Upon seeing Pei Zhi, the Right Protector exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?"
"I want to see Sikong Ren."
The Right Protector sneered, "You've caused our Demon Lord so much harm, and you still want to see him?"
The Right Protector had wanted to kill Pei Zhi before.
If it weren't for Pei Zhi, the Demon Lord wouldn't have fallen in love, and the ancient tree wouldn't have established a new king.
Now that the Demon Lord is saving himself, why would the Right Protector allow Pei Zhi to meet the Demon Lord?
Pei Zhi whispered in Liu Meiniang's ear, "Look, this is the man you were talking about."
They blame everything on women.
Liu Meiniang took out the whip from her waist; a number of servants had already surrounded them.
"Gao Shijie and I will hold them off. You take the opportunity to rush in. Don't let us get stuck here."
How could the Right Protector let Pei Zhi escape so easily? He launched a direct attack at Pei Zhi's face.
