Chapter 2145: Chapter 2: Love at First Sight (Part 3)
“Ah ah ah! I don’t want to be here! I am the Emperor’s beloved concubine, I am destined to be the Empress! I am the Empress! I am the Empress!”
Cui Wei was also frightened. She had never seen the Cold Palace, nor had she even heard of it. Just now, when Lanlan ntioned it, she thought this place was simply a cold palace or one used for storing ice.
Who would have thought there would be won inside? And a woman who claims she is the Empress?
Could it be that the Emperor’s concubines also live here?
But that scream is truly too miserable!
They say newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but Cui Wei had never understood the Cold Palace and naturally couldn’t imagine its cruelty, so she imdiately pulled Lanlan along to head towards the gate of the palace.
She wanted to see which concubine lived in this desolate Cold Palace, and which concubine was bold enough to claim to be the Empress!
Cui Wei was unaware of the situation, but Lanlan knew very well!
No matter how many tis she called, she couldn’t stop Cui Wei, so she had no choice but to follow behind and try to protect her as much as possible.
The Cold Palace is called the Cold Palace not because it is cold, but because there are very few people here, and the Emperor never sets foot in this place.
Inside it lives concubines who were once at the height of glory; so offended Your Majesty and fell into disgrace, while others were sent here due to their family’s cris.
No matter how noble you once were, or how favored, once you co to the Cold Palace, there is no hope of rising again.
So stay here for a lifeti, their once beautiful visage worn down and dull, their forr sanity ground into madness.
When Cui Wei pushed open the door to the Cold Palace, she saw just such a tragic scene.
In the not-so-large courtyard, dozens of ragged won were confined, so lying on the ground picking lice, so sitting in corners smiling foolishly at mirrors, others chasing and wrestling each other.
They were all filthy, with hair tangled, and even when two won fighting tore their clothes, exposing dark skin, they did not stop.
Cui Wei’s eyes widened. She swore this was the most disgraceful scene she had ever witnessed.
In the mont when Cui Wei was too shocked to react, two insane won, who held bricks aloft, rushed straight towards her.
Cui Wei was terrified. She could see the black and yellow teeth of the madwoman in the lead, but failed to notice that the woman chasing behind had already thrown the brick in her hand!
“Princess!”
Lanlan was startled, wanting to jump in front to shield Cui Wei, but she was also frightened, her legs weak and unable to move.
At the critical mont, a dark yellow figure swiftly blurred across her vision, and Cui Wei felt dizzy as she was tightly embraced by soone.
Bang!
The opened palace gate slamd shut heavily, followed by a dull thud, and it was obvious the brick had struck the gate.
Cui Wei instinctively closed her eyes tightly, trembling as she hid in Mingweil’s embrace, vowing never to co to the Cold Palace again; it was certainly her nightmare!
But fortunately, soone saved her!
“Princess, Princess! Are you alright, Princess?”
Lanlan’s nagging sounded beside her ear, and Cui Wei stamped her foot in annoyance. Couldn’t that girl see she was thoroughly enjoying herself?
Seeing that Cui Wei didn’t speak for a long ti and didn’t even open her eyes, Lanlan was so anxious she was about to cry.
Mingwei also realized that his actions were sowhat overstepping and quickly released the woman in his arms, retreating to the side: “Princess, this subordinate arrived late, please forgive .”
Forgive, forgive, absolute need to forgive.
Leaning in Lanlan’s arms, Cui Wei had her eyes low, her face flushing bright red; at the age of awakening to love, eting a life-saving benefactor was certainly the easiest way to fall in love.
“Ming Guard, please rise. What happened just now was due to Cui Wei’s recklessness. How can Ming Guard be blad? Ming Guard saved , and I haven’t even said thank you yet; how can I seek punishnt for Ming Guard?”
“Princess? Are you, you alright?”
Looking at the gentle and lovely Cui Wei, Lanlan seed as if she had seen a ghost, tiptoeing to touch her forehead to see if she was scared silly by the madwon of the Cold Palace just now.
Cui Wei frowned tightly and secretly stomped on Lanlan’s foot for her lack of sense: “Get over there!”
Seeing Cui Wei’s face full of peach blossoms, Lanlan grimaced, realizing her princess’s heart had been captured by the savior Mingwei.
Oh dear!
Lanlan groaned in dismay, wasn’t it supposed to be a small punishnt with a big warning? How did it turn into love at first sight…
