Quick Wear: When a Delicate Beauty Becomes Cannon Fodder

The Little Princess in the Palace (26)

  A special area in the palace was set aside for use as a hot spring pool, which was filled with fresh water.

  Qi Guanyao had already prepared sets of clothes and jewelry for her, which came in handy at this moment.

  He brought Ruan Ruan to the hot spring and stepped out himself.

  After a while, Yuehe came in.

  "girl."

  She walked lightly. Ruan Ruan, who was taking off her clothes with her back to her, didn't realize someone came in until she heard her voice.

  She subconsciously covered her body, "How did you get in?"

  "I will come in and help you."

  "You know, before... I also washed it myself." She spoke slowly.

  Yue He seemed not to hear her pause and spoke with concern.

  "But you just vomited blood, I am really worried. I will not look at you, I will wait beside you. Miss, please call me if you have any problem."

  Since she said so, Ruan Ruan didn't insist anymore.

  She took off her clothes and immersed herself in the water.

  The warm water wrapped around her body, soothing her fatigue just right.

  Ruan Ruan let out a comfortable sigh and concentrated on taking a bath.

  ...

  Ruan Ruan was taking a comfortable bath here, while Su Qianrou was feeling uneasy on the other side.

  It had been almost two nights and no one had called her. She seemed to have been forgotten in this remote place.

  A certain idea suddenly came to her mind and continued to take root in her heart.

  Looking at the dilapidated environment around her, even if she ran away from home and lived alone in Jiangnan, she had never stayed in such a dirty, messy and old place.

  And now no one is paying attention to her. His Majesty should still be taking care of that person and can't take care of herself for the time being.

  If I miss such a good opportunity, I don't know if I will have it again.

  Just take a risk...

  Su Qianrou finally made up her mind.  

  She knew very well what would happen to her if she stayed. She managed to escape once, and she would be able to escape successfully a second time this time.

  Just do it!

  Su Qianrou waited anxiously.

  At the hour of You, the palace maid came with food.

  While she was putting down the dishes with her back to him, Su Qianrou took out the stone she had prepared long ago and smashed it hard on the back of her head.

  After a muffled sound, she did not faint. She barely turned sideways to look at Su Qianrou, and then she fell down unable to hold on.

  Su Qianrou was very scared and felt a little at a loss after being looked at by that gaze.

  It took him a while to react, and he screamed and threw away the blood-stained stone in his hand.

  My hands are still shaking uncontrollably.

  With trembling hands, she tried to take off the maid's clothes. It took her a while to finally succeed. She did not dare to test her breathing.

  There was a bloodstain on the back of the collar. Su Qianrou suppressed her nausea and put it on, carefully adjusting the collar to hide it.

  But I can always smell that bloody smell.

  She gasped to calm herself down.

  Then, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and started to eat. At this time, she didn't think the food was bad or cold.

  She choked and retched repeatedly, but still forced herself to swallow.

  I have complained about the bad taste and didn't eat properly for several meals, but now I can no longer be so willful.

  Only when you are full will you have the strength to escape.

  Su Qianrou finished the last bite of rice and slammed the bowl on the table with a bang.

  The beautiful face was distorted, showing some cruelty.

  She didn't look at the palace maid lying on the ground, her life or death unknown. She turned her head to close the door while looking around to check the surrounding situation.

  She looked very calm at the moment, with all her emotions hidden under that peaceful and beautiful face.

  There was no one around, so she lowered her head and walked out like the palace servants.
