Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok! Chapter 406

Imperial Concubine Wan’s head ached a bit; it was an old ailnt, and many Imperial Physicians had said it could only be managed.

But despite living a life of luxury all these years, her headache had never lessened; instead, it grew increasingly severe.

She hadn’t said anything yet when the sound of hurried footsteps approached.

No one stopped them; the only one who dared rush in this manner in front of the Imperial Concubine was Princess Qian Yang.

"Mother! Mother! I saw that man outside! The one I ntioned before—sotis saying he’s bad, then he’s not—a person who escaped from the Heavenly Prison!" Princess Qian Yang rushed in, as if sothing monuntal had happened.

Imperial Concubine Wan, who originally intended to let the person outside leave, imdiately changed her mind upon hearing this: "The people who toyed with you?"

Princess Qian Yang tugged at the hem of her clothes with her finger: "I wouldn’t exactly call it toying..."

"Bring the person in for ! Since he’s a fugitive from the Heavenly Prison, we can’t let him off." Imperial Concubine Wan imdiately sat up, her face serious.

However, she glanced at her unlucky daughter and thought, anyone who dares to mock our princess must be an interesting fellow; let’s see what this person looks like.

Lin Qing had been waiting for a long ti under the scrutiny of the young Palace Maids. He thought the Imperial Concubine probably had no ti for soone like him, but then a few won, exuding an air of valiance, arrived. These won weren’t dressed in Palace Maid attire but wore martial outfits, looking like they were trained fighters.

Lin Qing took a glance; few seed to possess cultivation, but they looked capable of handling ordinary people, possibly one against five.

The martial won strode towards Lin Qing and the woman with an imposing presence: "The Imperial Concubine requests your presence inside."

It was as if they were ready for a fight if he refused.

The woman glanced at Lin Qing, and he, exasperated, said: "Ladies, may I ask what the Imperial Concubine wants? I’m just a man entering the Imperial Concubine’s palace; wouldn’t the Emperor bla the Concubine if he found out?"

"That’s not for you to worry about."

Lin Qing cupped his hands, ready to say more, but the woman frowned: "Young man, aren’t you in a hurry to find Chen Muxue?"

"I reckon finding Chen Muxue isn’t going to happen anyti soon." Lin Qing’s confidence wavered, "I feel like she’s nowhere to be found; if I run into Cen Lizhui and the others, how will I explain?"

"You... Indeed, running away doesn’t solve problems but it’s quite effective." The woman sighed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing’s eyes lit up: "What you said makes perfect sense."

The woman suddenly regarded him with the look one might give to a fool.

"Actually, maybe we can get help from the Imperial Concubine’s subordinates to find her; I’m thinking of going in to negotiate with the Concubine—after all, the Concubine’s people are many and familiar with the Imperial Palace." Lin Qing scratched his head, explaining.

"Explaining is just concealing, and concealing is the truth!" The words sprang from the woman’s lips; if Chen Muxue were here, she would be thrilled.

What elentary school student doesn’t love to say things like this?

Inside the palace, when Lin Qing saw Princess Qian Yang’s face, displaying a "Got you now!" expression, he felt instant regret over his decision.

Why is this arch-nesis also here? Lin Qing couldn’t help but avert his gaze, looking at Imperial Concubine Wan, who, in her pri, exuded charm by just sitting there lazily.

"Mother, it’s him!" Princess Qian Yang said with a face full of righteous indignation.
