The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Chu Musheng frowned slightly. Manager Yao was too harsh. He would punish him with ten strokes of the board soon.

"In that case, go back and rest early. Let your maid take good care of you. If you want to eat anything, just call in the kitchen."

Xu Keke felt as if she had been pardoned. She bowed and took her leave, and hurried away with Dingdang.

He gave instructions to Dingdang as he walked.

"Ding, go tell the maid who teaches palace rules that I need to rest all day."

The master and servant returned to Tingyuxuan, and Dingdang went to the small kitchen to order food for Xu Keke.

The small kitchen will soon be ready and served on the table.

Xu Keke looked at the breakfast in confusion, only to see that the table was filled with dazzling delicacies.

In the center is a bowl of ginseng and lotus soup made with thousand-year-old ginseng and Tianshan snow lotus. The soup is clear and fragrant, and is said to have the effect of prolonging life and nourishing qi and blood.

Next to it is a bowl of crystal-clear bird's nest with rock sugar. The bird's nest is soaked in sweet rock sugar water. It is an extremely precious nourishing product.

There is also a plate of crystal cake made with deep-sea fish maw, which melts in your mouth and is soft, chewy and chewy.

And a portion of venison jerky roasted with top-quality antlers, the meat is tender and juicy, exuding a unique aroma.

On one side of the dining table, there is a plate of fresh seasonal vegetables watered with dew picked in the early morning, paired with precious truffle sauce, which looks particularly fresh and refreshing.

On the other side is a dish of pastries made from powder ground from century-old Polygonum multiflorum and mixed with top-quality honey. It has a sweet taste and has the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys.

A small basket of exquisite buns filled with bird's nest, with thin skin and transparent filling, full of fragrance.

"Can these be made in a small kitchen? They really weren't brought directly from the imperial palace kitchen?"

Xu Keke asked while eating.

The maidservant who was serving beside her bowed and replied.

"These breakfasts were not ordered by Miss Dingdang. Butler Yao ordered the kitchen to prepare them overnight.

Manager Yao also had someone send the young lady the imperial palace's scented ointment for clearing scars and the soothing jade plaster for relieving neck pain.

Chief Steward Yao said that you were tired last night, and the prince sent these to me."

"You don't have to say the last sentence."

Xu Keke rolled her eyes at the maid.

孽 孽!

No matter what the reason, it is a fact that she was chopped on the neck by an old eunuch and toyed with by a crazy prince for a whole night.

In this ancient time when those who fell into the water and were rescued had to pledge their love to the one they rescued, she could not wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

What should I do next? Should I just give up completely?

After breakfast, Xu Keke and Dingdang returned to the side room.

A copper carved box was placed on the antique eight-immortals table.

It should be the Qinghen Ningxiang ointment mentioned by the maid, and there is a bag of plasters next to it.

"Miss, let me help you apply the ointment!"

Dingdang gently opened the box containing the clearing cream, and a light and elegant fragrance hit her face.

"I can do this myself. Ding, just tear open the plaster and apply it to the back of my neck."

Xu Keke said in a low voice.

She herself was embarrassed by the red marks on her chest.

These marks were like a domineering declaration left by the Regent, proving that she was his.

Even she herself was confused as to why the prince was so obsessed with those two places.

As a psychopath, the prince's behavior is really hard to understand.

Dingdang nodded, took out a piece of Shujing Yulu plaster from the bag and carefully applied it on the back of the lady's neck.

Muttering to himself.

"Miss, give Dingdang one too. My neck hurts too."

"Ah? Manager Yao also knocked you out last night?"

Xu Keke hurriedly took out the ointment and applied it to the back of Dingdang's neck where she pointed.

"I didn't know how I got back. I suddenly fainted and woke up sleeping in your bed, young lady."

Xu Keke patted Dingdang on the back. The master and servant really shared the same suffering!

No, my situation is more serious. At least Dingdang’s privacy has not been invaded.

Xu Keke sighed and said to Dingdang.

"Okay, you don't need to wait on me here anymore. I'll go back to my room and apply the medicine myself."

Then he took the copper box and returned to the bedroom.

After closing the doors and windows, Xu Keke took off her clothes and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.

Alas! Her snow-white skin was covered with kiss marks, all marks left by the insane prince.

She silently applied the ointment on the kiss marks and felt a cool sensation, as if the scars were being gently cared for.

The plaster behind my neck also began to take effect, a feeling of relief gradually spread, and the soreness was much relieved.

Xu Keke lay on the couch, lifted his sleeves and looked at the toad's blood. It was still as bright red, with no signs of fading.

Suddenly a question came to my mind: how did the prince solve it in the end?

He looked radiant this morning, as if he had finally received a sweet dew after a long wait, and didn't look like he had any internal injuries at all!

Xu Keke recalled that in her previous life, when she was in high school, a boy mentioned the Fifth Girl in a chat group.

At the time, she was confused and asked the boy, "Who is the fifth girl?" Did the girls in the group have numbers?

The boy didn't answer, just made a shy expression.

Later she found out what the fifth girl was really hinting at, and she was so embarrassed!

Oh! I was so naive back then. I chatted with that boy until college but never met him in person. Later, we lost contact for various reasons.

All that is left is that you came and left, and I have never seen you again.

As she was thinking, Xu Keke fell asleep.

"Miss, Miss, wake up quickly, the eldest lady is here to see you!"

Dingdang shook Xu Keke and called out to her repeatedly.

"Miss? Sun Shangxiang?"

Xu Keke mumbled in confusion.

"The support is low on health, wait for me to return to the city."

"Keke, it's already so late, why are you still sleeping?"

Xuanyunduo walked in, caressing her big belly.

Xu Keke suddenly woke up.

"Sister, why are you here?"

She turned over and got up, with her collar accidentally open. Xuanyunduo saw the red marks that had not yet faded, and suddenly understood everything.

Xuanyundu's expression changed several times in an instant, and in the end, only heartache remained.

"Coco, why are you so careless about taking care of yourself?"

She sighed softly and reached out to help Xu Keke tidy up her hair.

Xu Keke hurriedly pulled up her collar and lowered her head with a guilty look on her face.

"Sister, I'm sorry."

Xuanyunduo gently took Xu Keke's hand.

"Silly sister, don't tell me you're sorry. It's just that when it comes to love, you have to be more careful. Don't give your heart easily and end up hurting yourself."

Xu Keke looked up suddenly.

"What love? What love? I am nothing but a caged bird at the mercy of the Regent.

Sister, please take me away from here. If I don’t leave now, I’m afraid he will eat me till there’s nothing left.”

Xuanyunduo's eyes turned red when he heard this.

"My poor silly sister! How could I take you out of the palace? I just brought you your favorite cakes, but the old nanny refused to bring them in, saying it was for your safety."

Dingdang came in with tea and comforted Xuanyuduo.

"Miss, don't be sad. She's fine. Look at her right arm."

"What happened to your right arm?"

Xuanyunduo pulled open Xu Keke's sleeve, and the toad's blood was still there.

"It's okay, it's okay, my sister's virginity is still there..."

As I spoke, I felt sad again.

"But what's the use of this? Sooner or later it will be taken away by the Regent."

For some reason, Xu Keke suddenly came to his senses.

It's hard to say who suffers in this kind of situation.

A woman's innocence is certainly important, but if a man wants to take it away, he must also pay a corresponding price.

Unless he's a big pig.
