After Imperial Concubine Wan left, Ning Chen raised his head and narrowed his eyes. This was the most terrifying person he had met since he entered the palace. Not only was her identity, but she was also a scheming person who did not show her emotions. This woman was not an ordinary person.
The palace was full of danger. If he was not careful, he would be swept into an unknown whirlpool. Ning Chen felt that his future was dark. Unfortunately, the palace was now strictly guarded. It was impossible to escape.
"I wonder how that woman is doing. Did she behave and not run around?"
Feeling bored, Ning Chen continued to walk along the wall. On the way, he met one or two teenagers who were as bored as him. He grinned and greeted them warmly.
It was proven that the medicine in the palace was not just effective. It was much more effective than the dog-skin plasters of the later generations.
Ning Chen was still a little worried. The woman seemed to be injured and couldn't show her face. Even if she hid in the bathroom, she might still be discovered.
The clean room was located in the most remote part of the palace. Very few guards passed by, but that didn't mean that they could enter and leave at will. The palace had always been loose inside and tight outside. Once one went out of a seemingly deserted place, one would find countless Imperial Army guards. Ning Chen believed without a doubt that if anyone dared to sneak out at this time, they would definitely be chopped up by the Imperial Army outside the palace and fed to the dogs.
Ning Chen didn't dare to go back to the bathroom to look for her. These few days were the sensitive period. That stupid woman entered the palace to assassinate Xia Tianzi and caused a huge mess. If she was even a little suspicious, she would get into trouble.
As the saying goes, happiness is an itch that can be scratched. Unhappiness is an itch that cannot be scratched. Ning Chen felt very unhappy at this moment. He was clearly very itchy and wanted to go to the bathroom to take a look, but he was unable to go over.
"Take a look at the front and the back. Go back to sleep if you stand there."
Ning Chen took out a copper coin from his body and muttered to himself. He flicked his hand and the copper coin flew high into the air, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air. It immediately fell to the ground with a clang and rolled straight ahead.
Seeing the copper coin about to fly away, Ning Chen was anxious. This was the only thing he had on him.
If someone asked Ning Chen at this time whether the most important thing in life was money or life, Ning Chen believed that he would not hesitate to say that he wanted money.
Sure enough, in his anxiety, Ning Chen did not even care about the injuries between his legs. He chased after the copper coin step by step.
As the saying went, good fortune never came in pairs, and misfortune never came alone. As the saying went, if a person was unlucky, even drinking cold water would stuff their teeth. As the saying went, if one didn't seek death, one wouldn't die.
Ning Chen was the type of person who would bite his teeth and court death. He only cared about asking for money and did not even look at the road. He bumped into a warm and fragrant embrace and only then did he secretly say that it was not good.
He looked up in a hurry and saw a beautiful woman in a noble and gorgeous phoenix robe. She was about thirty years old and had a pair of gentle eyes that contained a smile. Ning Chen's heart panicked when he saw her.
"Whose servant is this? How audacious! You startled the Empress 'phoenix body! Even if you had ten heads, it wouldn't be enough to chop you off!"
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ning Chen hurriedly took two steps back in panic and apologized profusely. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to slap himself. He had said the wrong thing again.
He was really stupid to apologize to the Empress. It was all that stupid woman's fault. After staying with a stupid person for so long, his brain was not working.
"How dare you!" The eunuch steward beside the Empress's face turned cold. He didn't know the rules.
"Why are you so panicked?"
Zhangsun Wuyou stretched out his hand to stop the old eunuch from questioning him. He smiled at the young man in front of him and asked gently.
Hearing Zhangsun's question, Ning Chen subconsciously looked at the copper coin that had stopped rolling on the ground. He felt so regretful that he wanted to kill himself on the copper coin.
The ancients said that money was more important than life. Could it be because of him?
Zhangsun Wuyou followed Ning Chen's gaze and looked at the copper coin on the ground. Then, he bent down and picked it up.
Ning Chen watched helplessly as Zhangsun picked up the copper coin. He wanted to ask for it, but he didn't dare to. In his dilemma, he even forgot about offending the Empress.
In fact, Ning Chen couldn't be blamed for this. It was almost impossible for a modern person to have a real fear of the so-called imperial power. Although Ning Chen had constantly reminded himself to pay attention to his identity, he would throw away the deliberate reverence he showed.
Zhangsun carefully looked at the copper coin in his hand and found nothing special. When he saw the conflicted look on the young man's face, he couldn't help but laugh. It had been so many years since she had met such an interesting little guy.
" Be careful. The palace is not like the outside world. Remember to follow the rules," Zhangsun Wuyou kindly reminded him before he continued to walk forward.
"My copper coins!"
Ning Chen watched as the copper coin flew further away. He could not put down his raised hand. The Empress of Great Xia was actually blackmailing a eunuch like him. She was really a high-ranking official.
" Your Highness, he's still staring at you," a beautiful palace maid beside Zhangsun reminded her softly.
"Hehe, I reckon he's still thinking about his one coin. Interesting little fellow, since this Queen took his one coin, I'll help him this time. Send an order to the Inner Residence to transfer him to Weiyang Palace to be on duty."
Ning Chen still didn't know that Zhangsun had decided his future the moment he opened his mouth. Of course, if he had known earlier, Ning Chen would have refused to listen to him. He would have cried and begged Zhangsun to take back his favor. He was a person who wanted to run away. Once he reached Weiyang Palace, he would probably never be able to run away.
Ning Chen was in a bad mood when the copper coin was gone. His face was long, and he looked like he was very unhappy. He thought about it carefully. The copper coin was actually standing on the ground and rolled so far away.
Stupid woman, you're killing me.
After repeated scares, Ning Chen was completely sure that there were too many monsters in the palace. It was not a place where humans should live. Running was the only way out.
Emperor Xia's assassination was a major event that shocked the world. The Imperial Palace was the center of the storm. In just two short encounters, the world was clear. A royal concubine in the prime of her life and an empress who was the mother of the world, the two most noble women in the world walking out of the harem, was definitely not as simple as just putting on a show.
Ning Chen's face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil. Right now, the palace was the most dangerous place. It was the same for that woman, and it was the same for him.
The Imperial Concubine and the Empress, one was sharp and piercing, the other was reserved and gentle. Ning Chen had a rough impression of them after a simple meeting. They were equally beautiful but had completely different styles. However, there was no doubt that the two of them were not simple people.
As an imperial concubine, she was not suppressed by the empress's status, which showed how sharp this imperial concubine was. Ning Chen could not see through the empress, standing above such a powerful imperial concubine and still standing for a long time. She was really extraordinary.
The Imperial Concubine's sharpness came from the inside out, and the Empress's gentleness was not faked. Now that the sharp collision could actually temporarily balance, the turmoil within was not something Ning Chen could guess.
Thinking about it carefully, Ning Chen realized that after he came to this strange world, the people he could talk to were either women or people who were neither male nor female. Moreover, none of them were easy to deal with. If he was not careful, he would get himself into trouble.
He couldn't go to the bathroom, or else he might not meet anyone. Before he had the chance to run away, he should behave.
Ning Chen limped back to his " dormitory " and looked at the group of " teenagers " with red lips and white teeth. He was in a bad mood and fell asleep.
Perhaps he had lost too much blood from that woman's slash and had not recovered from last night. Ning Chen slept until dark, and then-dawn.
Early the next morning, the doors of the rooms were wide open. People from the various palaces came to pick them up. After recuperating for nearly two days, most of the youths could barely walk two steps. They recovered so quickly that they did not need anyone to help them. After following the guides from the various palaces, they began their lifetime as eunuchs.
Ning Chen was also led away by someone. It was a beautiful and graceful palace maid. She walked in front of him with graceful steps.
Unfortunately, Ning Chen's sarcastic mouth always sounded out at the wrong time.
"Big sister, slow down!"
The maid's name was Qing Ning. When she heard Ning Chen's address, her pretty face immediately darkened. She wanted to kick this brat to death.
"Big sister, where are we going?"
"Big sister, my injuries haven't healed yet, slow down!"
"Big sister, how far is it?"
"Big Sis…"
……
Along the way, Ning Chen's long-winded voice echoed in Xiaoning's ears, causing her to clench and loosen her fists. Just as she was about to explode, they arrived at Weiyang Palace.
This was his eldest grandson's territory. Although Ning Chen was ignorant, he knew that this was a well-known matter. His heart was on tenterhooks at that moment. Could it be that he had bumped into her yesterday and used his official position to take revenge?
Ning Chen was very indignant. She was an adult, why was she fussing over a child like him?
"What? Not satisfied?"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Ning Chen's ear.
"How can I?"
Ning Chen's expression changed instantly. His angry face instantly smiled brighter than a flower as he respectfully said with a hint of guilt.
"It's good that you're satisfied. In the future, you'll be on duty in Weiyang Palace. There are fewer rules here, so I think it's most suitable for you."
Zhangsun Wuyou didn't mind Ning Chen's messy etiquette. Her beautiful and gentle face always had a gentle smile, looking very approachable.
"Qingning has followed me since young and is very familiar with the matters of Weiyang Palace. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask her. Alright, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After that, Zhangsun and the two palace maids left, leaving only Ning Ning and Ning Chen standing there staring at each other.
Ning Chen felt extremely uncomfortable after his grandson left, while Qing Ning felt great. After enduring for so long, she could finally repay the " kindness " she had shown him.
"Murderous aura!"
Ning Chen read the words from Qing Ning's eyes, which were full of vigor and did not hide it at all.
" Leave a line in everything, so that we can meet again in the future." Ning Chen immediately took a step back and admitted defeat.
"Your attitude is not bad, but it's too late."
Qing Ning reached out with her slender hand and grabbed at the " enemy " in front of her. She was so fast that Ning Chen did not even have the chance to escape…
