What a blast!Boss, she is slapping her face like crazy again

Along the way, Zhong Nianyao held Lu Yichen's hand, and as they walked, she introduced him to the shops she had visited before, or where she had been to play.

Although Zhong Nianyao spent most of her time in the Imperial Palace's Imperial Palace after becoming the Imperial Master, she would still go out for a stroll in her spare time.

Lu Yichen listened to Zhong Nianyao carefully, without a trace of impatience in his eyes. Instead, he became more gentle and responded with a few words from time to time.

He wanted to know everything about Zhong Nianyao, and now that Zhong Nianyao was willing to share with him, he was so happy! How could he feel impatient?

Just when the two were happily strolling, a charming female voice suddenly came from behind them, and there seemed to be a hint of excitement in the voice, "Master."

Hearing this voice, a hint of coldness flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes. She did not stop but continued to walk forward, without even messing up her steps, as if she could not hear the voice behind her at all.

Lu Yichen noticed Zhong Nianyao's abnormality at the first moment. He didn't say anything and continued walking forward with Zhong Nianyao.

However, the two had just taken a few steps when they were blocked by someone.

The visitor was a beautiful young woman, who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with an oval face, a pair of big dark and shiny eyes, bright white teeth, a cherry mouth, and a complicated silk dress and exquisite and expensive jewelry that made her look elegant and luxurious. However, the fatigue in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

The young woman hurriedly stopped in front of Zhong Nianyao and called out "Master". However, when she actually saw Zhong Nianyao, the smile on her face froze.

At this moment, two maids hurriedly caught up. One of them panted and complained, "Madam, why are you walking so fast? I almost couldn't keep up. If something really happened, how would we explain it when we go back?"

The other maid didn't say anything, and even pulled the sleeve of the maid who spoke.

The maid who had just spoken still had an indignant look on her face, but she didn't say anything else.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhong Nianyao had a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were full of unfamiliarity.

"Nothing." The young woman's smile was a little unnatural. "Sorry, I think I recognized the wrong person."

As she spoke, her expression became lost, and she murmured to herself in a low voice, "Yes! The master has died a long time ago, and I am the one who has gone crazy."

"Since everything is alright, we'll leave first."

After saying that, Zhong Nianyao pulled Lu Yichen away.

Watching the backs of Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen leaving, the young woman's eyes were still fixed on that direction. Finally, she finally retracted her gaze, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips.

Yes! How could this be the master! The master has been dead for a long time, and -

Thinking of this, the young woman raised her hands and looked at her hands, which had long been white and tender without any calluses, and which were obviously pampered. A sense of loss and sadness flashed in her eyes.

Although her hands were white and smooth, they were stained with the blood of her master. She was one of the driving forces behind her master's death, and she was also the murderer. Finally, she couldn't help it, and a tear of regret flowed down her face.

The maidservant beside her had already become impatient, and she said directly, "Princess, let's go back quickly! If——"

"Shut up." The young woman cast a cold gaze at the maid, even with a hint of murderous intent, "Am I the princess, or are you the princess? I don't need you to teach me how to do things. If you can't control your mouth, I will pull out your tongue."

Suddenly meeting that cold gaze, the maid was startled, and a trace of fear rose in her heart, but she still plucked up the courage to speak, "This servant is——"

"I know very well that you belong to the imperial concubine. You don't need to emphasize this again and again." The young woman said coldly, "But don't forget that, after all, you are just a slave."

When she said this, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the young woman's face. Her voice became soft, but the words she said were horrifying. "Tell me, if I kill you and then announce to the public that you poisoned me, that's why you were sentenced to death. Will the imperial concubine seek justice for you, a slave? Or will she try her best to distance herself from you?"

Every word was spoken with a smile, and even the tone was very gentle, but after hearing it, the maid felt creepy. A chill surged from the soles of her feet. Her legs went weak and she was about to kneel to the ground.

The maidservant beside her was quick to support her.

However, the silent maid beside her, although she didn't say anything, her cold hands showed that her heart was filled with fear.

"Haha, I was just joking with you, why are you so scared?" The young woman took a step closer, gently touched the maid's face, and said with a smile, "But I think what you did today was definitely not intentional, right?"

"I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong." The maid's voice was filled with tears. "Princess, please let me go!"

All along, she never took this so-called princess seriously.

In her opinion, she was lucky enough to become the princess because she had bewitched the prince. In addition, the imperial concubine had always disliked the princess, believing that she was of a low birth and was not worthy of the prince, so she made her serve the princess.

The imperial concubine even promised her that she would find an opportunity to make the prince marry her.

Therefore, she has always regarded herself as the prince's future concubine, and because she is the noble concubine's person, she has never had any awe for the princess.

However, the princess' words today woke her up directly.

Even with the Imperial Concubine's promise, her current status is just that of a slave. If the Princess really wants to kill her, she will definitely not be able to escape.

In fact, even if the princess did not make up any excuses and killed her directly, the imperial concubine could only punish the princess by confining her to her room for a few days after she knew about it.

By then, even if she died, it would be in vain.

"Just recognize your own identity." The young woman continued with a smile, "Before, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to argue with you too much. But if I really want to argue with you, ten of you wouldn't be enough to kill me." (End of this chapter)
