After a dazzling moment.

Then Su Zhuang and several low-ranking female officials were seen standing at the end, waiting for everyone to arrive.

Su Changzhao mingled in the crowd and looked across quietly.

It was discovered that there were others besides Su Zhuang and several female officials.

The legendary Prince Ye is nowhere to be seen.

What? I thought I could meet the original owner of the statue, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

At this moment, Su Zhuang looked at everyone and said, "It seems that everyone is here."

Everyone was waiting for her next words.

"I called you here so late because His Highness returned to the palace early.

Many of you are new here, so I need to reiterate the rules of Qiong Yi Palace to you."

"What? You woke us up in the middle of the night just to teach us the rules."

"Yes, we have to follow the rules. We can't talk during the day, and we have to wake people up from their beds in the middle of the night. The Qiongyi Palace is not a big place, but there are many rules."

Before the makeup started, dissatisfaction was heard from below.

"You two, come out." Su Zhuang said sternly.

The two palace maids who were named were the ones who had just been gossiping.

They didn't expect that with so many people complaining, Su Zhuang happened to pick them out.

An expression of self-pity and fear prompted them to quickly leave the team and walk out.

Immediately following.

Su Zhuang said calmly, "Slap yourself in the face."

The two palace maids' faces turned pale. They had no choice but to follow the instructions and slap themselves in the face as their ranks were not as high as Su Zhuang's.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Although they were fighting, they were fighting weakly.

Su Changzhao thought to himself: Su Zhuang wants to establish his authority, but this is obviously not enough.

The words in my heart had just fallen.

Suddenly, there was a warm feeling behind the person.

"How can a slap in the face alone be enough?"

Everyone looked back.

Then a man in gorgeous clothes, as if polished, was seen striding towards them.

His extraordinary aura caused the crowd to disperse on their own and make way for him.

He came in front of everyone with everyone's attention.

As he walked, the pearls and jade on his moon-white and white robes made crisp sounds, two strands of hair in front of his forehead were slightly curled, and the rest of his long curly hair was braided behind his head and ears, making his handsome outfit look exotic.

"Wow, he is His Highness Ye."

The palace maid standing in the corner couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It is said that His Highness Ye is as elegant and handsome as the dark clouds. It is indeed true!"

When Su Zhuang saw the other person, a hint of tenderness appeared on his usually cold face.

"Your Highness." She called softly.

Wait until Yu Jiuchen walks in front of her, then turn around and face everyone.

The palace maids below all saluted and said:

"Your Highness, may Your Highness live long and happy lives."

This also includes Su Changzhao.

But her mood at the moment was somewhat indescribably special.

Even though she had known for a long time that this Prince Ye, Yu Jiuchen, looked exactly like her Ah Heng.

But when she saw him in person, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

They are really exactly the same?!

Although the clothes and hairstyles are different, the expressions and behaviors are exactly the same!

Su Changzhao couldn't help but begin to doubt.

The noble person in front of him is the original owner of his body.

Could it be her and Ah Heng’s previous life?

No way, this is so ridiculous!

Just when Su Changzhao was shocked.

Yu Jiuchen had already confirmed her location without leaving any trace.

But for now, his attention was elsewhere.

"How can a slap in the face alone serve as a warning to others?"

His words quickly shifted everyone's attention from his beauty to the two palace maids who had just been punished.

The two palace maids shivered on the spot, their faces becoming even paler than before.

Su Changzhao didn't know why they were so scared.

Then look at the other palace maids around.

No one dared to say a word.

Su Changzhao immediately concluded: Everyone seemed to be afraid of him?

Next second.

Yu Jiuchen pulled out a sword from somewhere, and with a flash of sword light, the eyes of one of the palace maids were blinded.

"Oh, my eyes, my eyes..."

The other palace maid who was lucky enough to be unharmed immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, please have mercy! I will never dare to do that again! Please have mercy, Your Highness!"

The gentle man at the head said calmly, "Qiongyi Palace has its own rules. This is the fate of those who don't follow the rules."

After that, all the maids said in unison: "We obey your orders and follow your instructions."

Su Changzhao mixed in with them, shouting slogans like everyone else, but what he was thinking in his heart was:

The "prestige" that Su Zhuang failed to establish was established by him.

According to the rumors I heard before, many of the new palace maids are arrogant, which shows that Qiong Yidian has been bullied and suppressed a lot in the palace.

People are like this, they like to bully the weakest.

Not long ago, Yu Jiuchen was locked up in the quiet room for stepping on His Highness Chu Yuan's shoes.

This matter has already spread, what power does Qiongyi Palace still have?

When Yu Jiuchen came back this time, he summoned all the palace maids to make an example of them.

He was right.

But what Su Changzhao couldn't understand was.

Shouldn't a prince who has no power in the palace know how to hide his shortcomings?

The principle he should follow is to develop slowly.

Why act so ostentatiously?

It was as if he already had enough chips and couldn't wait to counterattack the enemy.

·

After killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, Yu Jiuchen sent everyone away.

When Su Changzhao followed the crowd out, he heard someone say:

"I heard that the summer insect whose eyes were destroyed was originally a servant of Concubine Bai Shu."

"Ah? Aren't those Concubine Bai Shu's people? How dare Your Highness touch her people?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xia Chong was Concubine Bai Shu's spy.

Yu Jiuchen's move was undoubtedly a blatant provocation to Concubine Bai Shufei.

"Alas, when gods fight, mortals suffer."

"That's right. It's unfortunate that I have to follow a master like this."

"Hush, you're going to die, have you forgotten how the summer insect lost its eyes just now?"

The two men quickly looked around.

When she found that there was only an extremely ugly man named Su Changzhao in front of her, she immediately called her back arrogantly.

"Hey, ugly one."

Su Changzhao pretended not to hear and continued walking.

But she was soon stopped by two palace maids.

"Hey, I was calling you, didn't you hear me?"

"Are you deaf?"

Su Changzhao looked at them innocently, "You... are calling me?"

"Is there anyone else here?"

They are on their way back.

The others have already left.

"But you guys are calling me ugly, and I'm not ugly." Su Changzhao pretended to be extremely confident.

Hearing this, the two palace maids couldn't help laughing.

"If you're not ugly, then who is ugly? I'm talking about you! You look so confident yet you're so confident."

"By the way, did you hear anything just now?" the palace maid asked her, observing as she asked.

Su Changzhao blinked stupidly: "What did you hear?"

When the two palace maids saw that she didn't seem very smart, their doubts disappeared.

"Nothing. Aunt Su Zhuang just came to see you and asked us to bring you a message."

Su Changzhao was happy: This person is really cunning~

In order to preserve his ugly and stupid persona, Su Changzhao had no choice but to say nonchalantly, "Okay, okay, I'll go now."

Without even saying thank you, he ran back.

Seeing this, the two palace maids couldn't help but burst into laughter after she ran away for a distance.

"Hahaha…"

"Hahaha...you really are a fool!"

"Isn't it? I've been annoyed with her for a long time. When she gets scolded, maybe His Highness is still angry and will use her as an example. Then we will have peace under our noses."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

…

Su Changzhao ran away for a distance, panting, and then stopped.

Since she was pretending to be stupid, how could she really go back and bring bad luck upon herself?

I was just thinking of using this excuse to find a good place and stay near the Qiongyi Palace.

Who knows when the red moon will appear?

But just as she came to a corner.

I bumped into someone head-on.

"!!" Su Changzhao reacted quickly, "Aunt Su Zhuang!" He bowed quickly.

Su Zhuang glanced at her and then looked away as usual.

"Why haven't you gone back yet?"

Su Changzhao quickly came up with a solution: "It's too dark, I'm lost, hehe..."

Unexpectedly, Su Zhuang looked at him again.

Seeing the complicated look in her eyes, Su Changzhao was a little confused.

Is there anything wrong with what you just said?

Su Changzhao suspected that it was a lie and it didn't work.

But the next second.

Su Zhuang put away the confusion in his eyes and lowered his head and said, "It just so happens that His Highness has just returned to the palace and needs someone to serve and keep watch at night. How about you?"

Keep watch?

Hearing this familiar word.

Su Changzhao immediately recalled that when she was still the Nine Thousand Year Old, Yu Jiuchen often asked her to keep watch at night.

What a coincidence, you’re also keeping watch here?

Su Changzhao concealed his thoughts and pretended to be embarrassed, "It is my honor to serve Your Highness, but..."

"But what?"

Su Changzhao lowered his head and pursed his lips: "Everyone says I am ugly. I am afraid that I will scare His Highness. Then His Highness will definitely blame my aunt who sent me there."

After listening to this, Su Zhuang's eyes lit up: It turns out that she was worried about me.

There was also less disdain in the look he gave Su Changzhao.

"It's okay, His Highness is a good man, you just need to serve him wholeheartedly."

Su Changzhao's smile froze: "Good man? Are you sure? I just blinded someone."

She said, "Yes, auntie," with a smile.

…

So.

Su Changzhao returned to the Qiongyi Palace again...the bedroom at the back.

After Su Zhuang brought the person here, he left without even saying anything.

Su Changzhao comforted himself: This is good, it is close to the teleportation point and it is convenient to escape.

But after standing there for a while, the cold dew outside the palace gate became heavier.

Fortunately, she has martial arts skills, and using her internal strength to drive away the cold is a piece of cake~

When the coldness in the body is dispelled, people will feel more energetic.

I was just about to find a step to sit on.

There was a sudden sound from inside the door.

"Someone come."

“……”Su Changzhao had no choice but to hurry to the door.

With a squeak.

Pushing open the door and stepping in, "Your Highness." Su Changzhao called respectfully.

It was almost dark all around, but there was a flickering candlelight in front of the low table at the innermost part.

What does he want to do by staying up late at night?

"Come here." Another command.

"..." Su Changzhao had no choice but to humbly go over, "Your Highness."

Yu Jiuchen looked up at her and saw that she was wearing a veil. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you wearing this?"

"In reply to your Highness, I am ugly and I am afraid of scaring you, so I did this."

Yu Jiuchen chuckled and said without saying anything, "Take it away."

"This..." Su Changzhao pretended to be embarrassed.

"I will never say a word twice."

“…”

Su Changzhao had no choice but to take off his veil.

I thought Yu Jiuchen here was really like Su Zhuang said, not caring about a person's appearance, but after seeing it, he said, "Well, it's really ugly."

“………”

Su Changzhao tried to comfort himself in his heart: He is not Ah Heng, he is not Ah Heng, hitting people is wrong, when we meet a straight man, we should choose to forgive, um~

She found that Yu Jiuchen ignored her and continued reading.

Su Changzhao stood aside, waiting to be ordered at any time.

But after all, she didn't sleep during the day, and didn't have time to rest at night. Probably until the second half of the night, she couldn't help but feel her eyelids drooping and her head was dizzy.

Quietly.

I don’t know how many times I yawned.

In front of me, behind a low table, a handsome man who was reading a book in his hand suddenly asked, "Are you sleepy?"

Su Changzhao pretended to shake his head and said, "No, Your Highness."

"Very good." Yu Jiuchen said lightly, and then nothing happened.

Su Changzhao regretted not telling the truth just now. If God gave her another chance, she would definitely say loudly:

I'm so sleepy!!

I thought that if I yawned a few more times and made the other person impatient, the opportunity would naturally come.

Who would have thought that everything was just her delusion.

By the time she got through it, the sky was already turning white.

She stood there all night!

Bang!

The gentle man sitting in front of the low table finally closed the heavy book.

"It's getting late, you should go down and rest."

Su Changzhao immediately said with energy, "Yes, Your Highness."

But there was no time to leave.

"Wait." Yu Jiuchen stopped her.

Su Changzhao turned around and asked: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

"It will be dawn soon. You should finish what you need to do during the day before going to rest."

Su Changzhao was petrified on the spot.

He agreed with a smile on his face, but his heart was like a volcano erupting!

How can you exploit people like this? You are even more Huang Shiren than Huang Shiren!!

So.

She became the first palace maid to have breakfast today.

I have already stayed up all night without sleep, how can I work on an empty stomach? No way!

I finished two servings of rice in one go.

Come to Hongta again.

After she finished cleaning the first floor, she came to the second floor, but she was not in a hurry to work.

She ran to the statue and hugged it.

"Hello~"

Perhaps because he hadn't slept for a day and a night, or perhaps because he felt so comfortable hugging the statue, Su Changzhao actually fell asleep while hugging the statue.

But after all, he was standing, and after a while he started to slide down.

He was about to fall down and hit the ground.

At the critical moment, a hand suddenly hugged her waist.

Yu Jiuchen was extremely surprised when he suddenly turned back into his physical form!

He looked at the sunlight coming through the window.

Pretty sure it's daytime now.

The sun is shining brightly outside.

But he turned back into a living person?

This has never happened in more than a decade.

I saw her about to fall just now, so I wanted to stop her, and then it turned out like this.

Looking at the person in his arms, his arms tightened involuntarily, and he became even more certain that the other person was his destined one.

I was just about to find a place to put him down.

Now that he has become a living person, if Su Changzhao wakes up halfway and sees him suddenly appear in the red tower, he will have a hard time explaining.

After putting the person down, he planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, changes suddenly occurred around me.

The legs that were once flexible began to become stiff.

He was very familiar with this feeling.

So he quickly took a few steps back and went to the place where the stone statue had originally been.

He didn't expect that the time it takes to recover his human form would be so short. He had to go back and stand up before he was completely unable to move.

Who would have thought that as soon as it passed, my body immediately returned to normal.

When he looked at the distance between him and Su Changzhao.

He tried to move a few steps away, and sure enough, his body began to stiffen again.

Seeing this, he finally understood:

It seems that she is the key to lifting the curse.

As long as I'm with her, I can become a normal person again.

·

In the mist.

Su Changzhao felt some bumps.

But soon, the discomfort ended.

Instead, there was a soft touch beneath my body...
