Volume 1 ◆ The Palace in Chaos 005 Beating Huangfu Ye

  Looking at the thousands of sharp arrows pointing at her, Su Jin's mouth twitched and she finally understood why the female assassins in novels always had it so good after transmigrating. It was because they all transmigrated into the royal palace. Firstly, the prince's noble identity could satisfy the author's inner desire to marry up; secondly, the prince didn't have control over thousands of soldiers like the emperor did, and wouldn't casually summon them to surround the female lead, putting her in a tragic situation where she might be pierced by countless arrows. And so, one book after another about strong female assassins was born!

  This is understood, but is there anyone who can tell her that the assassins in the Wang Fu are all awesome? What about this unlucky transmigrator in the imperial palace? I reckon those arrow feathers shot at oneself will turn into a porcupine if not a sieve! Forget it, forget it, let's hide our strength and seek peace, most importantly... first save our life and then talk!

  "Hehe, Your Majesty, why have you called so many people here? Ah, are you going to send me to the Jingren Palace? No need, no need, I, no, this slave will go there myself!" A woman who can endure a moment of anger is a great lady!

  Huangfu Ye smiled and thought that Huangfu Huahan was making a big deal out of nothing, after all, it was just a woman, what could she possibly do? It was exaggerated to have so many people surrounding her, and even bringing him along: "Brother Huang, since this little palace maid has said she can go to Jingren Palace by herself, why don't you let her go?"

  Her thick eyebrows rose in a sharp angle, and her cold eyes showed obvious displeasure. This woman had just said such blasphemous words, yet the imperial brother still pleaded for her?

  Su Jinping heard this and swept a glance at Huangfu Ye, her eyes calm and unruffled, without a hint of gratitude. If it weren't for this guy deliberately pointing her here, how would things have turned out like this? She wouldn't have fallen from a salary of 50 taels to just 3 taels!

  "Fall back!" A cold shout, the guards quickly retreated and returned to their posts.

  "Little palace maid, hurry up!" Huangfu Ye waved his fan, signaling her to quickly run away.

  Su Jinping hummed coldly in her heart, and opened her mouth with a respectful face: "I don't know the direction of Jingren Palace, can I trouble Wangye to lead the way?" After bringing it back, she would settle this rotten person who dared to harm her!

  His face stiffened. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a case where a prince escorted a palace maid on her way out. Was this woman really ignorant of etiquette or did she have an ulterior motive?

  The light purple eyes narrowed slightly, and with a wave of the golden fan in hand, he smiled and said: "Then I'll be the guardian of the flower for once!"

  "Night." Huangfu Huai's voice was cold and detached, his expression unchanging, without any emotional fluctuations, but anyone could hear the discontent in his tone!

  "Imperial brother, why don't you head back to the palace first? This imperial palace is a place I was familiar with since childhood, so I won't get lost. Moreover, the number one beauty of Dongling has already been demoted to a palace maid by you, and is no longer your imperial concubine, so you also don't have to worry about anything happening, right?" The beautiful face of Huangfu Ye was adorned with a slightly mischievous smile.

  The most beautiful woman in Dongling? Su Jinping's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she didn't even know she had this honor. In her past life, she was also quite good-looking, but she never paid much attention to appearance, so she didn't react too strongly.

  Huang Fu's expression turned cold as he swept a glance over him: "You'd better grasp the measure yourself. And from this month on, your salary will be reduced by two taels of silver." After saying that, he didn't even look at them again and went straight to the latrine.

  "Cough, cough..." Huangfu Ye let out a loud cough. This two taels of silver was naturally what he had just said to the woman, and it was because of the three taels of silver that the palace maid had received that led to this. The prince's salary was 5,000 taels, who would care about two taels of silver? It was clear that his imperial brother was angry!

  Su Jinping looked at the two brothers with great disdain, originally they were also greedy for money, and even two taels of silver had to be calculated clearly! Okay, compared to her monthly salary of three taels, two taels was indeed a large sum! Next, she watched as Huangfu Huaihan stepped into the latrine, his lips curling up with a wicked glint in his eye. This guy had been holding it in for half a day and hadn't even wet his pants, he also had the potential to be a "gifted person"!

  "What are you looking at?" The magnetic voice was tinged with a barely concealed sneer.

  She withdrew her gaze from the back of Huangfu Huachen and glanced at the person beside her, raising an eyebrow: "Your Highness, please lead the way?" There are a lot of people here, wait for a while to find a dark place where no one can see, and serve this guy well! She wasn't naive enough to think that with her status as a palace maid, she could kill the king and get away scot-free, but beating him up was no problem, right?

  "Little palace maid, tell me, how did you think to get me to lead the way?" This woman was really interesting, at that time she was talking nonsense to the emperor's brother, he had heard it clearly not far away. Was she missing the emperor too much? He dared to be certain, this woman absolutely didn't recognize that it was the emperor's brother at first!

  "That's why I wanted to thank the king properly for pleading on my behalf as a slave!" She followed him nonchalantly, and squad after squad of imperial guards brushed past them. Before long, she had figured out the frequency of their shift changes and the weakest link in their rotation.

  One day she will have to leave this place, she has no interest in being a palace maid for life and getting three taels of silver every month.

  "Well then, how are you going to thank me?" He took slow steps forward, looking as if he was taking a leisurely stroll after dinner, but the words that came out of his mouth were clearly not innocent.

  "How can I thank you? Your Highness is of noble status, and it's not like there's a lack of women by your side. I'm definitely not going to say something as ridiculous as 'repaying with my body' to make Your Highness laugh. Is there anything else that would be more suitable for me to express my gratitude?" As she spoke, her phoenix-like eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement, gazing at the nearby woods.

  "In fact, I think..." Unbeknownst to him, he had already stepped into the blind spot that was beyond the reach of the guards' gaze.

  Su Jinping suddenly stretched out her hand, her arm bent at an incredible angle, and finally shot forward like a cobra striking, accurately hooking onto Huangfu Ye's neck!

  What quick reflexes! Huangfu Ye's mind only had this one exclamation left! His light purple eyes also turned cold: "What do you want to do?"

  He was dragged by his neck and brought behind a large tree!

  "Bang bang!" After a burst of sound, Huangfu Ye's beautiful face had several purple marks!

  Wiping the blood from the corner of her lips, there was still a hint of a smile in her eyes: "Su Jinping, aren't you being a bit too bold?" He had originally thought she was here to assassinate him, but he hadn't expected her to take this approach!

  After finishing speaking, the front of his shirt was lifted up by someone, and the woman in front of him gritted her teeth and said: "Listen, I don't like being calculated, there won't be a next time!"

  If it weren't for him speaking up twice to help me out, it wouldn't have ended with just a few punches!

  "Little palace maid, have you never thought about your own situation?" If he made a move on her, as long as he casually opened his mouth and called out, this woman would instantly die without even a burial place!

  She let out a cold laugh, pulled her collar open, and half of her fragrant shoulder was exposed: "The king wants to indulge in debauchery in the harem, I'm just defending myself, what do you think?"
