Murong Zixi looked up at the magnificent palaces with carved beams and painted rafters in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh at their luxury.

However, despite their stunning beauty, these buildings exude a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere.

Every detail here demonstrates power and wealth, but at the same time also reveals endless loneliness and helplessness.

Murong Zixi sighed secretly, thinking that the women here were really pitiful. They were bound in the palace and unable to leave for the rest of their lives.

The struggle in the palace is endless and has no end.

As the saying goes, "women should not make things difficult for other women", but in this palace, the fights between women are the most intense. This is really sad and lamentable!

Murong Zixi followed Nanny Jiang and finally arrived at the Cining Palace.

Along the way, she observed the surrounding environment. When they arrived at the Cining Palace, Nanny Jiang said to Murong Zixi lightly: "Miss Murong, please wait here. I will go in and report." After that, she turned and walked in.

Murong Zixi raised her eyebrows and watched the door close. This scene made her feel familiar, as if she had returned to the palace dramas she had watched in the past.

Whenever someone said they wanted to go in and pass the message, it usually meant that the other party would leave him/her alone to give her a warning.

This routine was commonly used by people in the palace, and she foresaw that she might have to wait for quite a long time.

Sure enough, just as she expected, the wait lasted half an hour.

Standing for a long time made her legs gradually sore and her body began to feel exhausted.

Murong Zixi couldn't help but wonder why the Queen Mother treated her, an ordinary minister's daughter, in this way. She really couldn't understand the reason.

Could it be that the Queen Mother was venting her anger on Princess Heshun?

Damn, this is never-ending.

"Miss, how long will this take?"

Murong Zixi stretched and said lazily, "Who knows? Just wait and talk less."

Xiao Cui looked at the many palace maids around her and immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.

Time passed minute by minute, and after half an hour, the sky suddenly darkened.

Xiao Cui looked at the sky and said anxiously, "Miss, I'm afraid it's going to rain. What should I do?"

Murong Zixi looked up at the sky and saw that the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was now covered by dark clouds. She frowned.

"Master, it seems that the Queen Mother wants to punish you today," Xiaobai muttered dissatisfiedly.

"It should be related to Princess Heshun today, right? Otherwise, I really can't understand why the Queen Mother would make things difficult for her, a minister whom she has never met before," Murong Zixi guessed.

"Hmph! That old woman doesn't look like a good person at first glance, and the queen mother doesn't seem to be a good person either." Xiaobai said angrily.

At this moment, a deafening thunder sounded in the sky, followed by heavy rain pouring down.

"Miss, come on, let's hide under the eaves."

As they were talking, heavy rain began to fall, and the master and servant were instantly soaked.

Murong Zixi and Xiao Cui hurriedly ran under the eaves to take shelter, but they were still soaked all over.

At this moment, Nanny Jiang walked out of the house, looked at Murong Zixi with contempt, and said in a cold tone: "The Queen Mother has ordered that Miss Murong is not allowed to hide from the rain."

Xiao Cui was shocked and didn't understand why the Queen Mother treated her eldest daughter like this.

She said anxiously, "What? Mammy, it's raining so hard, the young lady will get sick!"

Nanny Jiang glared at Xiao Cui and scolded angrily: "Who are you to question the Queen Mother's order?" As she spoke, she raised her hand, ready to hit Xiao Cui.

Murong Zixi hurriedly grabbed Xiao Cui and walked down the stairs together.

She turned around and looked indifferently at Nanny Jiang, whose hand was still stretched in the air, and said calmly, "I dare not disobey the Queen Mother's order. I will get wet."

Nanny Jiang looked at the master and servant with disdain, then withdrew her hand, turned around and walked into the house.

At this time, Xiao Cui's face was full of a mixture of tears and rain. She choked and said, "Wu... Miss, you will catch a cold. It doesn't matter that I have thick skin and flesh, but your health is not good to begin with. How can your body withstand such heavy rain? I kneel down and beg the Queen Mother to have mercy and let Miss go!"

After saying that, Xiao Cui knelt down on the ground without hesitation.

Murong Zixi quickly reached out and grabbed Xiao Cui, pulling her up, "Xiao Cui, don't do these futile things. The Queen Mother is determined to teach me a lesson today. Even if you go to beg for mercy, it will be useless. Don't let your knees suffer."

Xiao Cui used her sleeves to cover Murong Zixi's head and said in a tearful voice, "Miss, I will protect you from the rain."

Murong Zixi couldn't help but feel touched. This silly girl, in such a heavy rain, she was already soaked. What would it do to block it like this? Moreover, it was impossible to completely block such heavy rain.

Another hour and a half passed, and the master and servant were shivering in the rain.

It was already past noon, and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.

Murong Zixi's face was as pale as paper and her whole body was shaking. At this moment, she not only felt freezing cold, but also extremely hungry.

"Master~ Why don't you enter the space? Xiaobai is very worried about you."

Murong Zixi shook her head: "No, if I suddenly disappear, it will definitely arouse other people's suspicion. Don't worry, Xiaobai, I can still hold on for a while."

"Master, let's blow up this damn palace! There is enough explosives in the space anyway, why should you endure such humiliation?"

"Xiao Bai, you don't understand. If the palace is really blown up, not to mention that there are many experts in the palace, even if we escape by chance, it will be difficult for us to live a peaceful life in the future. It is even more likely to implicate the Loyalty Marquis Mansion, so we should be patient for a while."

"Master, you must hold on!"

Murong Zixi was now dizzy, her body was shaking, and most of her weight was leaning on Xiao Cui.

At this time, the Queen Mother in the room raised her eyelids and asked softly, "Madam Jiang, what does Murong Zixi look like?"

Nanny Jiang replied respectfully: "Her Majesty, she is quite beautiful."

"Hmph, so what if she's exquisite? She's just a facade, notorious and unworthy of my Feimo. Feimo too, why would you be interested in a woman like this?" The Queen Mother sneered.

"The Queen Mother is right. Perhaps Prince Zhan was just in a whim and had no other intentions." Nanny Jiang at the side echoed.

"Whether it's true or not, I will make Murong Zixi give up this thought. Although I also hope that Fei Mo can get married soon, not everyone can enter Prince Zhan's Mansion." The Queen Mother said with a sharp look.

The Queen Mother paused and continued, "Go tell Murong Zixi not to think about things she shouldn't. Not everyone can enter Prince Zhan's mansion. Stay away from Prince Zhan in the future. Let her get out of the palace."

"Yes." Nanny Jiang replied, turned and walked out of the palace, and walked in front of Murong Zixi holding an umbrella.

"Miss Murong, the Queen Mother asked me to tell you that you should not think about things you shouldn't think about. Not everyone can enter Prince Zhan's mansion. So stay away from Prince Zhan in the future." Nanny Jiang conveyed the Queen Mother's words expressionlessly.

After hearing this, Murong Zixi was very angry. It turned out that it was because of that stinky man Jun Feimo! She gritted her teeth fiercely, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Is the Queen Mother warning her to stay away from Jun Feimo? Humph! Damn it, who cares about Jun Feimo?

"Okay, Miss Murong, the Queen Mother lets you leave the palace."

Murong Zixi said calmly: "Madam, please tell the Queen Mother that I have absolutely no improper thoughts about fighting the King. I will take my leave now."

Xiao Cui helped Murong Zixi walk out of the palace step by step.

The Queen Mother was eating lunch and looked at Nanny Jiang who had returned. "Is she gone?"

"Let's go. Miss Murong said that she has absolutely no improper thoughts about the War King."

The Queen Mother sneered when she heard this. She had seen too many women who would do anything to achieve wealth and glory. She'd better not have any improper thoughts, otherwise she would not be able to keep her.
