! !

Su Changzhao realized belatedly that he had been surrounded by several arrogant palace maids.

She didn't panic.

He first glanced around without saying a word, waiting to see what the visitor meant.

"Hey, you're so ugly, how did you get chosen?"

When the first person spoke, Su Changzhao was slightly stunned.

ugly?

Are you talking about her?

Before I could think about it, the second palace maid said with a crooked mouth: "That's right, you dare to enter the palace, aren't you afraid of scaring people!"

“Hahaha, that’s it!”

After a round of agreement, the maid who spoke first said viciously, "Ugly! From now on, the cleaning and serving of meals will be yours. Do you understand?"

"Why?" Su Changzhao asked with a cold face.

The other party obviously thought Su Changzhao was not very smart, and said arrogantly with a look of disdain: "Because you are ugly! Ugly people are born to work harder! Don't you agree?"

"Yes! It's your fault that you are ugly..."

"Hahaha..." Another round of ridicule.

"..."Su Changzhao was almost speechless as he listened to their cliched lines.

It turns out that being bullied and mocked for her ugly appearance can also happen to her.

After these people happily decided on the division of labor, Su Changzhao had to swallow his anger to avoid causing trouble and exposing himself. Oh no, this is called not arguing with an idiot. He gladly accepted the jobs of cleaning and delivering meals.

Left and right is no big deal.

Being isolated is a good opportunity to act alone.

·

This Qiongyi Palace is the bedroom of the third prince, but there is a red tower to the south.

After getting the key, Su Changzhao hid by the wall and found out that the place was actually a forbidden area in the palace.

It is said that there are man-eating creatures locked up in the tower, which is very dangerous.

Normally, no one would go near that area.

But the Hongta often needs people to clean it and a meal needs to be delivered in the evening.

There is always someone who will be the most unlucky person.

At present, Su Changzhao is the unlucky guy.

There's nothing I can do about it. Who made her ugly?

at this time.

She squatted by a pond, looked at her face reflected in the water, and smiled silently.

"No wonder people say I'm ugly," she touched her cheek and looked left and right, her tone showing some appreciation and approval, "Well, I am indeed ugly in a unique way."

I saw only the face reflected in the water—

She has straight eyebrows, dark circles under her eyes, and what’s even more remarkable is that, as a woman, she actually has a beard?

No wonder she was rejected by those palace maids.

Of course she had checked and found that the eyebrows, eye circles and even beard were all deliberate disguises.

The original owner's appearance was the same as hers, but perhaps because her beauty was too conspicuous, she deliberately disguised herself.

Get up and continue towards the Red Tower.

People in the palace said that there was a man-eating monster imprisoned in that tower.

But they also said that if a monster saw her, it would probably lose its appetite.

Think about this.

Su Changzhao actually felt that what the palace maids said made some sense.

This is the same as eating fruit. They are all bananas, and who doesn’t want to eat the tender, yellow, fresh and appetizing ones?

If there really was some monster imprisoned in the Red Tower, this 'ugly' face might be able to save her life.

After a while.

She came to the red tower.

Looking at the building in front of her, she felt that the name "Red Tower" was indeed popular and appropriate.

In Fenglai Country, gold is precious and golden color is beautiful.

Inside the palace, there are golden tiles and flying eaves, and everything you see is magnificent.

Only this red tower stands out particularly charmingly, out of tune with the gorgeous surroundings.

Click!

Su Changzhao walked forward, unlocked the door, pushed open the door and walked in.

It's different than I imagined.

The hall on the first floor was elegantly decorated. Even though the doors and windows were sealed, there was still plenty of exhibits inside.

Isn't it said that there are monsters that eat people? Why doesn't it look like that at all?

She looked around. Not only were there no animal marks, but even the air was not filled with the pungent smell of blood and rot as she had imagined.

Nothing else.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she had to hurry up and work.

It would be better to finish it sooner so that we can go to other places to search for the whereabouts of the Nirvana Pearl. This is the real thing!

This tower may seem tall, but in reality the area to be cleaned is only one or two floors.

Perhaps someone had been cleaning before, so the first floor was cleaned quickly. When she was carrying her things to the second floor, she saw a life-size stone statue standing in front of the landscape screen on the second floor.

The stone statue is wearing men's clothing.

The strange thing is that after getting closer, Su Changzhao found that the stone statue actually looked somewhat familiar.

Put down what you are holding.

Su Changzhao looked at the delicate features on the stone statue's face, and she was shocked to find that the face of the stone statue in front of her was 70% like Yu Jiuchen!

"Ah Heng?!" She was slightly surprised.

But the more I look at it, the more it resembles me, and the more I think it resembles me the more I look at it.

What's going on? How come this sculpture looks exactly like Ah Heng?

Could it be that there is someone here who looks exactly like Ah Heng?

Did the person who carved this stone statue do it himself or by someone who admired it?

I have to say that this stone statue is so lifelike and vivid.

If it were replaced with a wax figure, it would definitely be indistinguishable from the real thing.

She quickly calmed down.

In any case, finish the task at hand first.

The aunt in charge who gave her the key clearly told her that she would come and check the hygiene in the Red Tower personally.

If he neglected anything, she would punish Su Changzhao by confining him to his room and not giving him food.

Not having food to eat is a small matter, but being confined to your home will be very troublesome.

Although there is no place in the world that can trap Su Changzhao, she now has a mission to accomplish. The whereabouts of the pearl is unknown, and there is a poison in her body. She also doesn't know when the Red Moon Day will be. She can't expose her identity on the first day, right?

Bending down, she picked up the wet rag in the basin, wrung out the water, and began to wipe the stone statue diligently.

After careful observation, she found that the stone statue was indeed as she had imagined, very clean.

After wiping, the cloth is not black and the water is clear.

From this we can see that everything else in the tower can be lazy, except this stone statue.

When the housekeeper comes here, she will definitely check this statue first.

But as she was wiping, the face of the stone statue that looked so similar to Yu Jiuchen caused her to lose focus and fail to control her strength, and she actually tore the clothes on the statue.

She held up the hole in front of her and could see directly across through it.

Blinking: It's over. If the aunt in charge finds out about this, she will definitely put me under house arrest.

She hurriedly took off the clothes on the statue, leaving only the pants.

But after that, problems arose.

She looked around but couldn't find any replacement clothes.

I have a headache and I hold my forehead with my hands...

In order to avoid being punished, I had to quickly find a way to get a set of similar clothes from outside.

Before leaving, she first confirmed the size of the statue.

But upon closer look, she discovered that the statue not only looked like Ah Heng, but also had the same body shape and height as Ah Heng.

coincide?

Without time to think about it, she found a piece of cloth at random and covered the statue's head from head to toe before leaving to find clothes.

Over time.

The sun outside gradually set, and when night fell, Su Changzhao still hadn't returned.

But just as the sun completely sank below the horizon.

The stone statue covered with cloth suddenly moved a few times.

Next second.

A bony hand lifted the cloth covering his body.

Under the drape, the lifelike stone statue disappeared, and in its place was a handsome man as cold as jade.

In his deep eyes, besides indifference and alienation, there was also a trace of anger that had not yet dissipated...
