But what the Queen Mother did not expect was that the ladies could not sleep well all night, which had seriously affected the draft in half a month. She had no choice but to discuss with the emperor and let Li Youwei move into the Chuxiu Palace to shock her.

Li Youwei entered the palace after receiving the imperial edict. The Queen Mother briefly told her the situation, and then she took Bitao directly to Chuxiu Palace.

Auntie has already revealed the news of Li Youwei's arrival to the ladies. Most of the ladies are very excited. General Li is their role model. It is a great honor to be able to get along with her so close.

But some people are unhappy, like Nalanjiao.

She had heard of Li Youwei's name a long time ago, and also knew that she and Nalan Ling were very good sisters. Because of this relationship, she hated Li Youwei even more.

She has been secretly competing with Nalan Ling, but unfortunately she has fallen behind in both appearance and talent.

If Nalan Ling hadn't married Situ Jue, she wouldn't have had a chance to succeed.

Li Youwei was taken to Chuxiu Palace by the Queen Mother herself, which shows her status in the Queen Mother's mind.

"Youwei, I've worked hard on you these days."

"The Queen Mother is very polite. This is what I should do."

No matter how big his official position, Li Youwei always remained humble and polite, which made the Queen Mother very satisfied.

She asked all the noble ladies to come out to see Li Youwei, lectured them again, and then left with the maids and maids.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, Gu Xueyao and Zhang Zhizhi came to Li Youwei's side.

"General Li, just come and we can finally have a peaceful sleep."

"The dark circles under my eyes are getting heavier and heavier these days, and I'm really afraid of offending my holy face."

"Everyone, have a good rest at night. I will protect your safety." Li Youwei had already heard about Nalan Jiao's deeds. She did not expect that although they were both from the Nalan family, her temperament was very different from Nalan Ling's.

The fact that she can do those things shows that she is not a kind person.

"Thank you, General Lee."

Listening to the conversation between Li Youwei, Zhang Zhizhi and others, Nalanjiao became immediately unhappy.

"Is it because of me that you can't sleep?"

"We didn't say that. Miss Nalan, it's better not to make random guesses."

"Humph, General Li, you are a general who goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy. You are really overqualified to protect our safety."

Nalanjiao relied on Li Youwei to do nothing to her, so she was quite rude.

"Miss Nalan's uncanny ability is quite good. Okay, it's getting late. Let's all go back to our rooms and rest."

Li Youwei didn't want to argue with an idiot like Nalanjiao. If she dared to act like a monster, she would directly suppress her with force.

"Yes."

The other noble ladies obediently took their maids back to their rooms. Nalanjiao seemed to be going against Li Youwei to the end, and she did not move.

"General Li, if I want to enjoy the moon in the yard, that should be fine. You are just here to protect our safety, and you shouldn't be able to control anything else."

Li Youwei smiled gently, "Miss Nalan, please."

After saying that, she took Bitao back to her room.

Nalanjiao choked. She wanted to see Li Youwei deflated, but she was left hanging in the yard.

There were a lot of mosquitoes in the yard at night, and these ladies from aristocratic families couldn't stand it. Nalanjiao persisted for a while, and then took the maid back to the room.

In the middle of the night, when he was fast asleep, the entire Chuxiu Palace was quiet, but suddenly a shrill scream rang out.

Li Youwei rushed to the room where the scream was coming from. He raised his sword and broke a snake into two pieces.

Zhang Zhizhi was only wearing a thin white undershirt. At this moment, she was nestled in Li Youwei's arms, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"It's okay." Li Youwei gently stroked her back to give her strength. "General Li, who wants to harm me?"

"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Soon, the person who put the snake in Zhang Zhizhi's room was caught. It was Nalanjiao's personal maid.

Also brought with the maid was Nalanjiao, who was still shouting, "You cheap maid, let me go. Even your master wouldn't dare to do this to me. Who are you?"

Bitao was not afraid of Nalanjiao, and she pulled one with one hand without any effort.

The person following Li Youwei, even if she is just a maid, is not weak in strength.

"General, everyone has been brought here." In front of outsiders, Bitao would directly call General Li Youwei. Only when the two of them were together would they call her miss.

"Okay, let them go."

"Yes, General."

As soon as Nalanjiao got free, she rushed to Li Youwei angrily.

"Li Youwei, why did you let your slave capture me? Her status is worthy of it."

"You ordered your slaves to put snakes in other beautiful girls' rooms. Do you know your crime?"

Facing Li Youwei's cold phoenix eyes, Nalanjiao subconsciously felt timid.

"It wasn't this young lady who did it, it was the humble maid next to me who made the decision without permission. I'm not guilty."

Nalanjiao's maid plopped down on the ground and confessed directly.

"General Li, it was my slave who wanted to avenge my lady, so she put the snake into Miss Zhang's room. I just scared her and had no intention of harming her."

Nalanjiao echoed, "General Li, you should have heard clearly. It was just a joke between my maid and Miss Zhang. You don't need to make such a fuss. Besides, the snake is not poisonous."

Although Nalanjiao was scared, she looked at Li Youwei with provocation hidden in her eyes.

"Okay, since it was just this maid's fault, let's just beat her to death with a stick."

"No, miss, I don't want to die. Please save me quickly." The maid was afraid, so she grabbed the hem of Nalanjiao's clothes and cried with tears and snot all over her face.

Nalanjiao didn't want to lose such a capable maid. She really didn't expect that Li Youwei would actually dare to kill her maid.

"Wait a minute, General Li, just for the sake of my lady, spare this slave once. She will remember your great kindness and praise you for it."

"Miss Nalan, as long as you are willing to admit that you were the instigator of this incident, I can spare her life."

"Miss, save this slave, I don't want to die."

Nalanjiao looked at the maid who was shaking her clothes, then at Li Youwei, and finally decided to save her maid.

"Okay, I admit it, but I just wanted to make a joke with Sister Zhizhi. There is no need to shout and kill.

Sister Zhizhi, I’m sure you won’t really care about me. You’d better be open-minded. "

"Nalanjiao, you are really strict with others and lenient with yourself. If someone else throws a snake into your room, you will definitely not let it go."

Zhang Zhizhi said angrily, she didn't want to forgive this domineering woman easily.

Nalanjiao looked very unhappy. Zhang Zhizhi was so pushy that she even said soft words. She even refused to go down the steps.

"Then what do you want?" Nalanjiao said bitterly.

"I listen to General Li." Zhang Zhizhi hugged Li Youwei's arm with dependence in her eyes.

"Okay, then treat him in his own way."

"Li Youwei, what do you mean by this?" Nalanjiao had a bad feeling. Li Youwei would not let her live in the same room with a snake.
