Refusing to Serve Me? Then Off With Your Head!

Chapter 10

Who is the Obstacle of Who

Zhong Hua Hall was bright, like it was in the middle of broad daylight, I paced in front of the door four to five times. I peeked inside the hall, Feng Zhao Wen was busy criticizing memorials. Not far from where he sat, a round table full of four dishes and one soup laid cold.

I was staring at the dishes, secretly salivating when Feng Zhao Wen spoke, "Come in."

I looked around; the guards guarding the door were like wooden statues, they didn't move at all.

"Come in." He was starting to sound impatient.

I poked one of the guards near me and whispered, "Hurry and get in! His Majesty is calling for you!"

A heavy voice came from the hall, "An Yi, roll over here now!"

(TN: The 'roll' here is equivalent to get your ass in here now!)

I scratched my head and took my sweet time as I stepped into the hall. Then, I knelt, "Your Majesty, this criminal does not know how to roll."

Feng Zhao Wen stopped writing, an ill-intent smile flashing in his eyes, "You don't know how to roll, but you sure are good at kicking people."

I kowtowed, "Your Majesty is brilliant and outstanding, this criminal really does not know how to roll. Why don't you teach this criminal how to roll, this criminal will then roll for you to see!"

The laughing sound of 'Pft' could be heard and Tian Bing Qing who was standing behind the emperor clutched his own mouth. He quaveringly turned his body around, hunching over, looking as though he was in great pain.

Feng Zhao Wen kicked his leg, "If you want to laugh, go out and laugh!"

Tian Bing Qing walked out while limping a little.

Feng Zhao Wen gave me a diabolical look, "An Yi, you must be tired after going out."

His voice was warm as hell, had it been accompanied by a soulful face, I would have been touched. I copied Qin Yu Zheng's feminine voice to answer him, "Thanking Your Majesty for your consideration, this criminal is not tired." No matter how touched one was, under Feng Zhao Wen's diabolical laughter, all of it disappeared.

I alertly took a step back, stammering, "N—Not tired! Not tired at all!"

"But you look so tired." He smiled at me warmly. "I am just a little hungry..." He ignored my little reply and opened his mouth, "Somebody come! Send Miss to bath."

Four sturdy palace maids suddenly came in from outside, they looked so powerful and strong. They lifted the screaming and struggling me until we reached the bathhouse. After that, they crudely flung me into the pond, causing water to splash all over. I ended up submerging on the pool twice before leaning against the pool wall. I carefully gave them a fawning smile, "All four Jiejies, An Yi is used to bathing on her own. All of you should just let An Yi bath on her own."

The four sturdy maids flocked around me; they stripped my clothes off of me and took out the Huan Xi Palace's layered cloth and rubbed them against my entire body.

After that bathing session that took around 2 hours, they lifted me back to Zhong Hua Palace. By then I was already famished.

"Your Majesty ah! Where did you get those four jiejies? They are so strong! This criminal almost loses a couple of layers of skin!"

Feng Zhao Wen was unruffled in the middle of other's chaotic time, he was reclining on the bed while reading a book. I was flung over to the pond and was cleaned until my skin and flesh were almost scrubbed off; and then I was placed on a long couch next to the pool by a couple of pretty maids. They rubbed some fragrant cream on my entire body and then trimmed my toes. I complained about all those things to him, but it fell on deaf eyes. He simple said, "They are all Za Yi Palace's maids that are in charge of cleaning toilets. Perhaps they had grown used to rinsing toilets and could not control their strengths...."
