Su Chen sighed; it was too late for her to start practicing martial arts now.
Although the original owner had studied dance since childhood and had excellent flexibility, it was still a far cry from martial arts.
Su Chen and Mu Mu learn martial arts not to become masters, but simply to improve their physical health and be able to defend themselves and escape when necessary.
Su Chen temporarily fulfilled her childhood dream in the Cold Palace: to live a life of leisure and wait for death.
Eat, play, sleep, and have a cute girl taking care of you—life can be as comfortable as you want.
The system gets angry every time it opens a small window to check on her; Su Chen's life is much better than hers!
Then let's not tell her that the villain just came by... hehe.
That day, Mumu went out for a long time and didn't come back. Su Chen felt something was wrong. Without thinking about anything else, she took a ladder, climbed over the wall, and left the Cold Palace.
Because they were dressed exactly like palace maids, they had no trouble getting around. They asked for directions to the imperial chefs along the way and sneaked into the kitchen, but they still couldn't find any trace of Mumu.
Just as I was about to step out of the kitchen into the yard, I was stopped by a sharp and sarcastic voice.
"Oh~ Isn't this Consort Chen? Why are you dressed so shabbily? It really breaks my heart~"
Su Chen turned around and saw a jewelry display case, dressed in a light green and silver-patterned vest, wearing pearl-embroidered shoes, earrings adorned with eight-treasure agate beads, and a jade hairpin, walking towards her. The entire outfit exuded a fresh and precious aura.
"Is Consort Chen looking for someone?" She raised her hand, which was covered with two nail guards, and adjusted her side-swept hair.
"Who are you?" Su Chen frowned.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to Consort Shu!" A maidservant next to the man slapped him, but Su Chen grabbed and twisted the maidservant's wrist, dislocating it.
The maid's forehead immediately throbbed with pain, and a few drops of cold sweat trickled down her cheeks.
"It seems my sister didn't spend her time in the Cold Palace in vain; she even learned some moves!" Consort Shu clapped her hands with a smile, and two eunuchs walked up to her.
Consort Shu raised an eyebrow and ordered the two eunuchs, "Tie her up!"
"Your Highness." The two eunuchs knew that the person in front of them was Consort Chen. Even though she had been banished to the Cold Palace, her family were still court officials and she was connected with the General.
"Beat him! I've got His Majesty's backing, what's there to be afraid of?" Consort Shu said impatiently.
"Yes!" The two eunuchs nodded and walked towards Su Chen.
Su Chen took a few steps back, but she knew that she couldn't avoid it today.
She was covering her face, planning to protect herself from disfigurement if she got beaten up later.
Instead of the expected pain, I heard sounds of fighting.
Through her fingers, Su Chen saw Mu Mu fighting with two eunuchs.
These two eunuchs had bulging temples and prominent veins on their hands, clearly skilled in martial arts, yet Mumu managed to fight them to a draw!
Wow, that's amazing! My Mu!
"Your Majesty, run!" Mumu shouted in Su Chen's direction.
Su Chen then realized what was happening.
Just as she was about to run, she saw a palace maid next to Consort Shu pick up a brick and smash it against the back of Mu Mu's head.
Su Chen quickly ran back to stop him, shouting as she ran, "Mu Mu, be careful!"
Mumu realized something was wrong, but before she could dodge, the brick hit Su Chen on the shoulder.
"Your Majesty!" Mu Mu no longer concealed her strength, knocking down everyone around her with a single palm strike, and then carried Su Chen back to the Cold Palace using her light-footed skills.
"Does Your Highness hurt?" Mumu cried.
Su Chen laughed, "It hurts, it hurts like hell!" She felt like her shoulder bones had been shattered.
Mumu sobbed uncontrollably, "This servant...this servant will treat Your Highness right away."
