Chapter 226 She Won’t Do Anything to Me
Night falls quietly.
The lights in the palace were lit one by one.
Wen Chuyun lay lazily in the bathtub, the steaming hot water vapor filled the air and enshrouded her face.
The new maid was standing by, carefully wiping her body. "My lady, is this force okay?"
"Well, not bad." Wen Chuyun stood up, and the little palace maid immediately picked up the towel skillfully and continued to help her wipe.
"Please clean up the water in the tub. I will need it later. Stay here after you clean it up. Don't go out."
"Yes." The little palace maid responded quickly and began to clean up quickly.
After a while, all the water in the bathtub was poured out, and the walls of the bathtub were wiped clean without a trace of water drops.
She looked at Wen Chuyun expectantly, hoping for some compliments, "My Lady, do you think this is okay?"
Wen Chuyun's lips curled up, "That's right, take off your clothes, don't leave any."
"My lady?"
Wen Chuyun's voice suddenly turned colder, "Take it off."
"Yes..." The little palace maid was full of trepidation. She turned around and began to undress with trembling hands.
Her fingers seemed to be out of control and it took a lot of effort for her to take off her clothes one by one.
When she stood there naked, Wen Chuyun spoke again, "Sit in the bathtub."
"My lady, I am not worthy..."
"Just go if I tell you to. You don't even listen to me?"
The little palace maid didn't dare to resist anymore. She could only step into the bathtub tremblingly, sit in it, and subconsciously cover her body with her hands.
Wen Chuyun quietly came behind her, pulled out the dagger, and gently stroked the little maid's neck with his delicate hands, "Do you know? People like you can only serve others for the rest of your life, and the slightest mistake may cost you your life. Instead of living in fear, it is better to go to the underworld early and enjoy peace!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand suddenly, and the dagger, with a cold light, stabbed into the little palace maid's neck!
"Ah, haha..." The little palace maid widened her eyes and subconsciously covered her neck with her hands, blood gushing out from between her fingers.
She wanted to turn around and see clearly the person who brutally killed her, but her body would not obey her and she could only moan in pain.
Wen Chuyun smelled the pungent smell of blood, his hands trembling constantly, and he kept muttering, "I'm doing this for your own good. When you go to the underworld, you won't have to be a servant anymore. You won't have to do the hard work of serving others anymore. Go..."
The little palace maid's eyes gradually lost their luster, her eyes widened, and she died.
Wen Chuyun kept backing away until her back leaned against the door. The cold touch brought her back to her senses.
She murmured to herself, "I want to smear it all over my body, I want to be favored again!"
She returned to the bathtub, stepped in, and sat opposite the body of the little palace maid.
The corpse stared at her with wide eyes, motionless.
Wen Chuyun raised her hand and gently closed her eyes. "You have helped me a lot. I will have someone burn more paper money for you someday to ensure that you live comfortably in the underworld. Go with peace of mind..."
…
The candle went out.
The palace was in darkness.
Wen Chuyun dragged the body of the little palace maid with great effort and walked towards the dry well step by step.
With every step I took, the sound of the soles of my shoes rubbing against the ground was particularly harsh in the silent night.
When they arrived at the dry well, Wen Chuyun first squatted down and smeared some mud on the little palace maid's shoes.
She gritted her teeth and struggled to pry open the little maid's already stiff fingers, making her hold the dagger tightly. Then she took a deep breath and used all her strength to push the corpse down.
There was only a muffled thud, which was particularly terrifying in the silent night, and then everything returned to calm.
The night passed quietly.
The entire palace was as usual, and no one knew that a life had just disappeared deep in the inner court.
Early the next morning, sunlight shone through the carved window lattices into Wen Chuyun's bedroom.
She woke up slowly, and as usual, she sat lazily in front of the bronze mirror and began to carefully draw her eyebrows and put on makeup.
She was very skilled in dressing herself up, stroke by stroke, to make herself look bright and attractive, with eyes and eyebrows particularly similar to Bai Wutong.
"Some people just don't know how to appreciate favors. They are born to be worthless. I gave her a good opportunity to stay by my side and serve me, but she didn't seize it. She's still nowhere to be seen at this time. Well, if you see her, let her continue to serve outside."
As Wen Chuyun spoke, he silently calculated the time in his mind.
On weekdays, Concubine De liked to go out for a walk before noon and breathe some fresh air.
She chose the right time, dressed up carefully, and walked towards the imperial garden.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the Imperial Garden, he ran into Concubine De.
Upon seeing this, Wen Chuyun immediately took lotus steps lightly and bowed, "Good luck to Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine."
"Well, why are you in the mood to come out today?" Defei raised her eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. In her impression, Wen Chuyun rarely took the initiative to talk to her.
"I haven't come out to relax for a long time. Now that my face has completely recovered, I don't have to stay in the palace all day. Madam Defei, why don't we go over there and sit and talk?"
Concubine De narrowed her eyes slightly. Wen Chuyun usually had no respect for her, so why did he suddenly change his temper today and take the initiative to invite her to sit down?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
She wanted to see what Wen Chuyun was up to. "Okay, then sit down."
The two walked side by side to a nearby pavilion.
It was winter, so Wen Chuyun handed over the hot water bottle in her arms, "My Lady Defei, this hot water bottle is still warm, please warm your hands."
"It's okay. Mys is also warm."
Wen Chuyun was not embarrassed, she just smiled and sat aside, "Sister, have you heard about what happened yesterday?"
This time he called her sister in a very intimate way, which was completely different from his usual attitude.
Concubine De was moved, but her face remained calm. She replied gloomily, "What's the matter? I haven't heard anything."
"Yesterday, I invited the emperor to have breakfast at Wuyou Palace, but Concubine Zhao suddenly came in with the prince. Not only did she call the emperor away, she even..." Wen Chuyun's eyes turned red and her voice choked up, "She even asked the imperial physician to examine me. She said that I had taken strong medicine and there were toxins in my body, and she didn't let the emperor get close to me. Don't you think this is deliberately making things difficult for me?"
De Fei looked at her with interest, "Sister Wenpin suddenly told me all this, do you want me to comfort you?"
Wen Chuyun forced a smile and said, "Sister, I just feel that now Concubine Zhao is pregnant again, and she has a prince and a second prince. If we let her continue like this, I'm afraid the whole harem will have to respect her, and even the queen may not be able to suppress her. By then, we will have a hard time."
"What does that have to do with me?" Concubine De looked at her carefully dyed nail polish nonchalantly, and said in a cold tone, "I'm not competing for favor, she won't do anything to me."
