Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 28 Unexpected Land
Quan Xiaoli pinched her slender hands with crimson marks.She tried hard to break free, but when she looked up, the man was looking at him with interest.

"Do you really think you can break free from this king's grasp?" Under his handsome outline, a pair of deep eyes were hidden.However, after a moment, his eyes regained their calmness.He gently let go of her hands.

Que Ruoyu turned her face away, she really didn't want to talk to such an arrogant and conceited man.She raised her eyes and saw that this was an abandoned courtyard in the imperial palace. The courtyard was full of red fire. There were no flowers blooming in the winter.But... here... she frowned, lost in deep thought.

"Didn't you find anything different when you came here?" Quan Xiaoli said casually, following the direction of his eyes, Que Ruoyu saw a pool filled with white mist.Her heart sank secretly, and she gradually approached along the wet and slippery path beside her.

Sure enough, there is nothing wrong, this is a good underground hot spring.Because of the temperature in this small courtyard, the flowers next to it are extremely bright.Moreover, she can feel that the temperature here is about 20 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for the human body.However, how come no one noticed such a perfect situation?She stretched out her hands and gently touched the water in the hot spring with her hands.

This temperature is really comfortable.

Quan Xiaoli leaned against the branch, looking at her indifferently. "What? Interested here?"
"It's such a fast treasure, no matter who will be interested." She raised her head and said, with a smile on her cold face.The man who was watched was momentarily absent-minded.After a while, he smiled slightly. "It seems that we are still confidants."
Que Ruoyu lowered her head, and is he a bosom friend?He can really think.However, how can her current humble status be compared to the dignified prince?Therefore, she tried her best to bow down in front of him.However, this was only for a while, how could she, Que Ruoyu, bow her head casually?

She smiled, lowered her head, and then was slightly rude.The attitude is very docile and lovely. "His Royal Highness said so, it is a blessing for slaves."
Quan Xiaoli smiled lowly, how long has it been?This cunning little wild cat has become so docile.Immediately he jumped down from the tree, tore a fresh branch, and walked steadily.It seemed that every step he took was a carefully planned move by him.He looked down at the docile and shameless woman in front of him, and whispered softly in her ear, "Que Ruoyu, I am very interested in you."
After speaking, when Que Ruoyu raised his head again, he didn't see Quan Xiaoli's figure.

"Oh! What an arrogant guy." She said in a low voice, not taking Quan Xiaoli's words to heart.

Her eyes were attracted by the pool water here. Under the crystal-clear pool water were colorful broken stones, and in the center was the mouth of the hot spring, from which spring water gushed out continuously.She looked from a distance, her beautiful eyes flickered, but she secretly made up an idea in her heart.

Such a good place, she could use it as a bathing place.In such a cold winter, there is very little charcoal in their cold palace, and it is impossible to burn water at a suitable temperature.The water is so cold that they feel like they are being tortured every time they take a bath.The feeling of the cold water touching her skin made her frown slightly.

She made up her mind and smiled.Since few people come here, let it be her private bath.In other words, since she came to this dynasty, she hasn't bathed yet.But... I don't know if the falling into the water counted as a bath?

She thought for a while, and didn't know what that guy Quan Xiaoli wanted her for?Why did you bring her here?

She looked up at the place where Quan Xiaoli had been just now, it was a very tender branch.Even if she stood on it, although the branches could not be broken, they would droop badly.However, the branch is still very resilient.It seemed that the person standing on it before was not a man, but a bird.

She was lost in thought, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze.Occasionally, she could still smell the fragrance from the tip of her hair.She smiled, it seems that Quan Xiaoli is still a guy who hides his secrets.With such a superb skill, even she can't match it.However, these lightness skills are probably used more when escaping for one's life...

She looked at the time, and the sun had already set in the sky.The sunset is brilliant and very charming.

When they returned to the cold palace, the other sisters hid from Que Ruoyu one after another.That state is like hiding from the plague god.

However, she never cared about these things.

Hongchan looked at her coldly, and put a large pile of washed and dried clothes in Que Ruoyu's hand. "These must be ironed tonight."
Que Ruoyu took it calmly, turned around and prepared to go back to the room.When she was about to close the door, Hongchan suddenly said something. "You should not get too close to the prince these days. There are certain roles that we should not think about as slaves."
She dropped this sentence coldly, as if it was a warning to Que Ruoyu.

Que Ruoyu was noncommittal.However, in this cold palace, she will not be a servant.

She concentrated on ironing the clothes, looking at the high-quality fabrics, the delicate and bright colors, she was a little dazed in a vague way.Even if she is a waste concubine, her life is still much better than that of the maids in the cold palace like them.Look at the clothes they sent, the color is green.Thinking about it, those concubines who have been abolished are still looking forward to the day when the emperor can think of them.

They care so much about their appearance, isn't their sole purpose just to compete for favor?

However, how difficult it must be to slowly abolish the concubine and start over again.In addition, the most indispensable thing in the palace is beauties.Even if all the three thousand fans in the entire harem are tired of by the emperor.So, what about outside the palace?
Those charming people who have just grown up and can enter the palace are all coveted masters.How could the current emperor, Quan Jinghui, remember those concubines who committed crimes?However, if the women in the deep palace are not a little bully, how can they survive?
However, the years are long, and the day they figure it out is the day they die.Ah!What a miserable life.

Thinking of this, Que Ruoyu laughed in a low voice.This ridicule was not directed at those useless concubines, but at herself.She can't protect herself anymore, why bother to take care of other people's affairs?The hot ironing bag accidentally fell on her hand.She subconsciously exclaimed.

She looked at her reddened fingers with mixed feelings in her heart.If this harem takes one wrong step, it will be lost forever.Sometimes, bad luck will come at the moment she loses consciousness.She took the ironing board back and started working seriously.

Recently, she needs to be honest.

The next day, Nanny Su found Que Ruoyu again.

"You, come here with me." Her tone was cold, but after listening carefully, there was still a bit of sweet talk.

Que Ruoyu knew that this Nanny Su's leg disease might have happened again.

"Yes." She lowered her head in a humble gesture.At this moment, all she can do is to curry favor with Madam Su so that she can get a better chance.

Que Ruoyu came here one by one according to the method last time.

Madam Su lay on the chair, seemingly enjoying it very much. "I never imagined that you still have this skill... I don't know where you learned it from." She said leisurely, because Que Ruoyu was kneading so comfortably, her voice became lazy.

Que Ruoyu frowned, the original owner of this body was an idiot, who knew nothing at all.At this moment, there are so many things suddenly, it is really strange.However, she knew that people in this era believed in ghosts and gods more.

She thought about it, "Madam Su, you don't know something. In those days, I would have some strange dreams every night. In the dream, a beautiful woman who was overwhelmed by the country told me, Ruoyu! You must survive Mother, I have nothing to teach you, so I will teach you everything." She said slowly, suddenly she felt Su Momo's feet tremble unconsciously.

Que Ruoyu smiled inwardly, most likely this woman believed what she just said.

"You...what else did your mother say?" Su Momo became nervous, looking at Que Ruoyu with radiant eyes.Vaguely, she saw the woman's fear.However, her mother's death in dystocia should have nothing to do with this woman.At that time, although her mother died after the country died, she would not be reduced to this level.Looking at the expression of the woman in front of him, Que Ruoyu knew that she must be afraid that her mother would find her...

As for why? !Of course it is the reason why this woman has been oppressing and torturing her for the past 17 years.

She smiled slightly, "My mother also asked me if I have been bullied during this time." She answered honestly and respectfully.

Sure enough, at this time, Madam Su's face turned green.

"However... I think it's a bit redundant for my mother to ask this question. In this palace, Mother Su treats me so well, she always thinks of me when she has delicious food, and assigns me all the easy tasks. So, I Just tell my mother that Su Nanny is very good to me. My mother is very relieved." Before Su Nanny's face turned pale, she said this sentence unhurriedly.

Su Momo finally let go of her hanging heart, and looked at Que Ruoyu with a smile for the first time. "This... this is what should be done. Who told your mother to give birth to such a clever daughter like you? You are very smart in doing things. If I don't promote you, who else can I promote?" The more she said, the more exaggerated she became .

A trace of disdain flashed under Que Ruoyu's well-behaved face.She was completely called a fool before.Now, it's a counterattack...

She nodded, and beat Madam Su seriously.

"No...it's okay. You can go out and do some work first." Madam Su subconsciously refused.

Que Ruoyu is not a person who casually treats others as a slave.Seeing what she said, she immediately stopped what she was doing.However, she still looked at Nanny Su with a smile on her face, and then retreated respectfully.
