For the annual palace banquet, we prepare clothes for the nobles. We are worried that some people may accidentally lose their composure, so it is safer to change clothes.
At this moment, he didn't know whether the Queen Mother and others would come back. Chaoli thought for a while and nodded, already starting to think in his mind.
It would not be easy for the wine glass to be knocked over today, so she kept an eye on it and whispered something into Song Lingxin's ear.
Song Lingxin bit her lip and nodded.
"I'll find a palace maid to lead the way." Chaoli said again.
Song Lingxin nodded, "Be careful."
Qing Yi immediately stepped forward, "Miss, Qing Yi is going too."
Chaoli responded, and the maid who had poured wine for Chaoli just returned, so Qingyi asked her to lead the way.
The palace maid kept her head down and silently led the way. She didn't show any difference, but her body was a little stiff.
Chaoli pretended not to know, and soon arrived in front of an empty palace. Nothing happened on the way.
However, there was no relaxation in the centrifugal force.
"Prince Concubine, this is the place the Queen has ordered for the young ladies and ladies to change their clothes," said the young palace maid.
Chaoli looked around, then suddenly turned around and walked inside.
"You two wait outside, I will go in on my own. Qingyi remembers to wait where he is and not to leave even half a step." Chaoli ordered.
"Yes." Qing Yi responded.
The palace maid also responded and stood silently at the door, guarding it with Qing Yi.
Chaoli made sure there was nothing wrong outside, then walked into the hall.
The hall is relatively empty, and the silver charcoal inside is burning brightly, so it doesn't make people feel cold at all.
There is a row of wooden racks on the left and right sides, and there are many clothes hanging on them. They are all relatively expensive clothes, all made by the embroiderers in the palace.
Chaoli took a piece of clothing at random, but did not change it, but walked to the door silently.
Suddenly, there was a movement at the door, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
"Qing Yi?"
Chaoli walked quickly towards the door. It was very quiet outside the door, without any sound, and Qing Yi did not answer a word.
When Chaoli pushed the door open, she realized that the door had been locked from the outside. She immediately turned back to the inner hall.
There are two windows in the house, but the windows are too high, so it is impossible to get up without martial arts.
But she was not anxious because she believed in Song Lingxin.
Chaoli was very calm, thinking about who locked her here, what their intentions were, and why this didn't happen in her previous life?
It is unrealistic to simply lock her up. Her identity must be checked when she enters the palace, and the same must be done when leaving the palace. Outsiders are absolutely not allowed to stay in the palace overnight.
The people behind her probably weren't trying to scare her, and it wouldn't be that simple to spend so much time to bribe the palace maid.
Furthermore, people who have just entered the palace will definitely not be able to do it.
In this case, the person who plotted against her should be someone who could easily enter the palace and have access to the harem.
There were no such calculations in the previous life. At this time, Chaoli could only guess in his mind who it was, but he did have some guesses.
Qing Yi didn't move and must have fainted.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance reached the tip of my nose.
Chaoli frowned and raised her eyes to see the incense burner on the table. She immediately held her breath and covered her lips, extinguishing the incense in the incense burner.
I'm afraid this thing has some added ingredients, but luckily she reacted quickly.
At this moment, two figures sneaked up outside the door. They looked around, fearing that someone might pass by.
"Has Chaoli's maid been dealt with? She was knocked unconscious here. Do we need to move her away?" one of them asked.
The other person shook his head, "Young lady, don't worry about it. When the time comes for the palace door to be locked, she will stay in the palace and we will spread the news about her."
"Okay, I just want her to look good and let her know who has the final say in the house. After this lesson, my sister-in-law will probably have to keep her tail between her legs. Let's see how she will be arrogant to me in the future. Thanks to me.
The first time I entered the palace, I met a palace maid and helped her with a small favor. I finally bribed her to do something for me, which was a bit troublesome, but fortunately everything was not in vain."
It turned out that these two people were Gu Xiyue and Hongyu.
Gu Xiyue's plan was to let Chaoli stay in the palace for one night. When the news came out that she stayed away all night, it was enough to make Gu Hanzhang unhappy.
Even though he knew that she had done nothing in the palace, it was a thorn in Gu Hanzhang's heart.
As Gu Hanzhang's biological sister, Gu Xiyue would not let her eldest brother become a cuckold, so she did it simply to make Chaoli lose face.
Hongyu suppressed the emotion in her eyes and said, "Young lady is really kind, let's leave quickly, otherwise someone will see us here."
"Okay, let's leave right away, just make sure she's inside." Gu Xiyue said as she walked.
Little did she know that the conversation between the two reached Chaoli, who had her ear against the door. She was sure that it was Gu Xiyue and Hongyu's design, but the matter was far from that simple.
Just when Chaoli was about to shout a few more times after Gu Xiyue and Hongyu left, Chaoli suddenly found that her body suddenly became weak, and a tidal wave of heat swept through her abdomen. Her breathing became faster, and her cheeks gradually turned crimson.
Oops, that’s not Mixiang!
It seemed that the other party did not simply want her to be locked up here for a night, but had other plans. That idiot Gu Xiyue must have been taken advantage of.
That's right, Gu Xiyue was a bit stupid, but she wouldn't use Gu Hanzhang's reputation as a bet. Unfortunately, this idiot had no brains. He was really going to kill her today.
If there are no accidents, a man will show up later, and his purpose is to ruin her reputation. This kind of plan is not uncommon, but it is very useful.
Song Ling was determined to live up to her trust and should have been notified. She just had to wait until that person came.
His eyes were gradually becoming blurry. Chaoli gritted his teeth and reached out to pull out a hairpin from his head, and stabbed it hard into his left arm. The pain made Chaoli's mind clearer, but the heat wave still did not dissipate.
Bastard, why aren't you here yet?
At this moment, Chaoli never thought about why she trusted that person so much. She was not afraid even if he went deep into the tiger's den, believing that the other person would definitely arrive.
Suddenly, there were sparse sounds at the door.
"Do you really want to do this?" the male voice lowered his voice.
Another low-pitched female voice replied, "What are you afraid of? You were so timid when you had an affair with that noble man. You dared to cuckold the Holy Emperor, are you afraid of cuckolding the prince? Anyway, you will die, and you will die under the peony flower.
Even if you are a ghost, you must be very romantic. You must know that the imperial concubine is a great beauty, and even the concubines in the palace cannot compare to her."
The man seemed to have made up his mind, "You are right, you will not escape death anyway."
Chaoli knew that it was a crime of great disrespect to have sex with others in the palace. If you commit adultery in the palace, you will be beaten to death with a stick. It seems that this is the plan of the other party.
The door was pushed open and the man walked in.
The house was immediately locked from the outside, and the man knew that he had no room to retreat.
The guards walked inside and searched Chaoli carefully.
