Chapter 55: The Cold King's Substitute Concubine (Thirty)



In the original plot, Helian Jue returned to Nanxun only after discovering the true cause of his biological mother's death.

That is the protagonist's mother, Concubine De. When she was young, Helian Jue's mother Su Xi took away her favor from Emperor Lingyuan for many years. Blinded by jealousy, she cruelly pushed her into the lake, causing her to drown.

Although Defei tried her best to make up for her debt to Helian Jue and indulged him to the extreme afterwards, the evil deeds she had done were indelible.

The male protagonist knew about this, but chose to conceal it. Later, when Helian Jue discovered it himself, he changed from a complete "brother complex" to a ruthless and black-bellied boss, and the boss dungeon began.

He first used the heroine to get hold of the handle of Tianyuan's important officials, forcing them to secretly assist him.

Later, he led a large army in Nanxun and openly competed with the male protagonist for his beloved woman.

But Helian Jue is just the second male lead after all.

At the critical moment, when the battle was about to begin, the heroine abandoned everything and turned the tables!

Helian Jue's rebellion failed, and the male protagonist reorganized the government.

Considering their years of brotherhood, the male master did not sentence him to death immediately. Instead, he cut his tendons in his hands and feet and locked him in a dungeon where he never saw the light of day.

Behind this seeming kindness lies cruelty.

It would be better to just give him a direct blow!

However, judging by the passage of time, it will still take some time for Helian Jue to discover the truth.

This time he came to Nanxun, perhaps simply because he was sent by Emperor Mingyuan as an envoy, and he came to visit relatives and chat.

After she enters the Nanxun Palace, she just needs to find Helian Jue and reveal to him the secret cooperation between Xiao Ming and Nanxun.

He will report everything to Tianyuan.

At that time, the credit for "maintaining love and peace" will fall on her, and she will be able to retire in a minute!

Wonderful!

Sophie manually gave a thumbs up to her clever little brain.

The sun is shining brightly under the blue sky.

The glazed tiles on the top of the palace walls are lined up one after another, reflecting brilliant and dazzling light.

"We've arrived at the palace, everyone get out of the car quickly."

The coachman woke up the five drowsy people in the carriage.

"Why is there a woman among the temporary workers sent this time?"

The housekeeper looked at Sophie, who was sandwiched between four men, with surprise.

Ah, that’s a long story…

"Oh, a free meal."

The driver was brief and to the point, then took the money and left.

Sophie: “…”

Brother, don’t I have any face?

I've never seen such a thing in my life.

Mammy shook her head and smiled.

"Well, since you're here, just stay. It's just that you're not up to the heavy lifting. It just so happens that one of the maids in Yuxiu Palace is taking a leave of absence due to illness. You can take her place for a few days."

After the housekeeper finished giving her instructions, she took the other four people away.

A palace maid in rose-red palace dress came forward and led Sophie to Yuxiu Palace.

Sophie naturally didn't know who lived in Yuxiu Palace.

But judging from the rules explained to her by the palace maid who led the way, the person living here was a very noble person, and had a bad temper.

It seems that the palace maid Guihua, who had taken leave earlier, was punished with fifty lashes because she violated his taboo.

So much so that I had to take a temporary leave to recuperate.

"Xiaoyin, I'm sorry to trouble you to cover for Guihua for the time being. Remember the precautions I told you, and don't anger the Crown Prince like Guihua did and get punished again."

Before leaving, Feicui gave further instructions.

"Okay, Sister Jade."

Sophie responded repeatedly.

I sighed in my heart.

It turned out that the person living in Yuxiu Palace was the current crown prince of Nanxun, Su Yuan, Helian Jue's cousin.

Speaking of Su Yuan, Sophie actually didn't have much impression of him. The only thing she knew was that it was he who gave up the throne to Helian Jue.

Look at these two cousins, they are willing to give up even the throne.

How can this relationship be bad?

It's so comfortable!

As long as she lurks by Su Yuan's side, she doesn't believe that her good cousin Helian Jue will not come to her.

"Miss Xiaoyin, you can stay here for the time being while you work at Yuxiu Palace."

A Li, a maid in Yuxiu Palace, brought Sophie to Guihua's original room.

Sophie thanked him and walked into the room holding the palace dress she had received.

The small space was damp and cold.

Without sniffing carefully, you can smell a hint of musty smell in the air.

Sophie raised her hand and patted her bed. The flying dust made her tears splash.

Oh, this Yuxiu Palace looks quite grand.

But at best, it is just a beautiful shell with rotten inside.

The living conditions are really poor.

It was so much worse than the servants' rooms in the Lin Mansion, let alone her boudoir.

I really don’t know how these little girls endured it.

"Xiaoyin, hurry up and change your clothes. There's still a lot of work to do."

A Li interrupted her muttering.

For the sake of the points that haven't been pocketed yet.

Just make do with it for now.

After calming down, Sophie changed into her palace dress and went out to work with A'li.

"Xiaoyin, His Highness will be hosting a banquet for distinguished guests at Yuxiu Palace tonight. We will be responsible for cleaning the courtyard, so please make sure it is done thoroughly..."

Ali gave careful instructions, and Sophie nodded in agreement.

A sly smile suddenly appeared in his dark eyes.

It's easy to guess with your toes that this guest is definitely Helian Jue!
