I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"That's the rule in the palace."

Wen Qingzhi said this out of the blue.

She sat down next to Chang Yan and looked around. Seeing no one around, she continued, "It seems this little Xiang Fei is not someone to be trifled with. As soon as she arrived, she couldn't wait to give us a show of force, probably to test our temperament."

"If we act scared, she'll know how to control us in the future."

Chang Yan was not stupid, so she naturally understood what Wen Qingzhi meant.

Wen Qingzhi nodded.

Chang Yan frowned unhappily, "She's not unaware of our identities, yet she deliberately made me do this. It seems she's definitely not a good person."

"How can a woman who can live in the deep palace for a long time without any harm be a good person?"

"Anyone who can reach an agreement with the Regent is definitely not a good person."

Chang Yan said softly, "Azhi, the Regent is too dangerous. It's better for you to have less contact with him in the future."

"What he's doing now is completely beyond his capabilities. Having dealings with concubines in the harem is an act that violates the imperial authority. Even if he and the emperor are brothers, once the truth is revealed, it won't just go away."

Chang Yan became worried. “No emperor can tolerate others interfering with the power in his hands, even if that person is his own brother.”

"Azhi, I'm worried that you're getting too close to him. If anything happens to him, you'll be implicated."

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

Wen Qingzhi also felt grateful for Chang Yan's kindness.

"Looking at this, we two will have to support ourselves in the future."

There was no servant around, and apart from the voices of the two, there was no other noise.

The courtyard was empty, not even a bird was singing. It was snowing lightly outside and it was a bit cold inside the house.

Wen Qingzhi rubbed her red hands. Seeing this, Chang Yan ran over and closed the door.

She went to the stove and looked. There were charcoal and kindling there, but they were not lit.

She lit the charcoal skillfully and coughed several times due to the choking.

"This charcoal is terrible, it's choking me to death!"

Wen Qingzhi opened the window to ventilate and waited for the smoke to dissipate. She said, "The charcoal fire in the house should be enough to last until dawn. After dawn, I will find a way to solve our financial problem."

They came to work for Feng Yunxiao, and he had to take care of his living needs. Otherwise, who would work for him?

Chang Yan nodded helplessly, "This is the only way."

She sighed, "It's getting late. Who knows what will be waiting for us tomorrow."

As she said this, she yawned, stood up and walked towards the inner room.

Wen Qingzhi looked around and found only a thin quilt. Touching it, the cotton inside was unevenly distributed, and in some places it was basically just a quilt cover.

Seeing this, Wen Qingzhi called her, "Let's go, we can't sleep here."

After saying that, she opened the space and took Chang Yan in.

Chang Yan came in for the second time and looked inside curiously. After arriving at Wen Qingzhi's small apartment, Wen Qingzhi told her how to wash.

While Chang Yan was washing up, Wen Qingzhi found her some clean clothes and washed and dried the clothes she had taken off.

After Chang Yan came out, she said to Wen Qingzhi in surprise, "These things are really convenient! Ah, that hot water, it can be dispensed whenever you need it!"

"Also, the ball you put in the water for me makes the water smell so good."

Hearing this, Wen Qingzhi, who was writing, looked up and smiled at her, "Like it? I'll bring you here often in the future."

After spending a long time with her, Wen Qingzhi felt that Chang Yan was like a curious baby.

He doesn't have too many bad intentions, but he doesn't have too many ideas either.

The outward arrogance was the confidence given by her status. Now, she has long forgotten that arrogance and only remembers to treat others sincerely and do her best to save people.

"That would be too much trouble for you."

Chang Yan saw that she was writing something, so she walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wen Qingzhi handed her what she had written. After reading it, Chang Yan was startled. "This is—"

All of it was filled with what happened to them tonight. It was actually a little notebook for holding grudges!

She looked at Wen Qingzhi in disbelief, "Who are you going to complain to?"

"Ah."

Wen Qingzhi nodded, "I have to find an outlet."

Chang Yan seemed to have discovered something rare. She looked at Wen Qingzhi's relaxed appearance and could never have imagined that she would behave like a little girl.

"what happened?"

Seeing Chang Yan's surprised look, Wen Qingzhi asked, "Do you think I can't do this?"

"No."

Chang Yan shook her head and said, "It's just... not like what you normally do."

In her eyes, Wen Qingzhi always took revenge immediately, so how could she do these little tricks?

Wen Qingzhi chuckled, "Indeed."

In the past, she disdained to do these little things, but knowing when to do something is the wise choice.

If she went directly to Feng Yunxiao, she was afraid that he would not care and would even think that she was being unreasonable.

But if she uses such a girlish method to find him, he will only feel that he cannot live without her.

Even if he weighs the pros and cons again, he will still be more flexible.

Feng Yunxiao is a person with a strong desire to win, which is why Wen Qingzhi can use such inferior means to control him.

……

"Go to bed early."

After Wen Qingzhi finished speaking, he put the booklet away and prepared to find his person tomorrow and have him deliver the message.

But... maybe no one brought the message.

The incident just now was quite a big deal. According to Feng Yunxiao's methods, even if his people were not convenient to show up at that time, would it be impossible for them to meet later?

She looked at the empty room outside through the surveillance camera and couldn't help but laugh coldly in her heart.

It seems that their life here will not be easy.

The people Feng Yunxiao arranges may not necessarily listen to her.

However, I don't know if it was Feng Yunxiao's order, or if the people he planted here with Xiao Xiangfei disobeyed orders. Or maybe, he simply looked down on them -

These questions appeared in her mind, extremely messy.

She shook her head, pushed the thoughts out of her mind, and then rested peacefully.

The next day, the two were woken up by the alarm clock.

This is to prevent others from discovering Wen Qingzhi's secret.

She and Chang Yan finished their meal before going out. The moment the [Peony Evil] appeared, Chang Yan shivered with cold.

She pulled Wen Qingzhi tightly into bed, and the thin, transparent quilt covering her body was almost the same as not covering herself at all.

"If I had known the result would be like this, I wouldn't have come with you!"

Chang Yan was so cold that her teeth chattered when she spoke.

Wen Qingzhi ignored her complaints and only heard the footsteps approaching outside.

Soon, Yun'er's voice came from outside: "Girls, are you awake?"

"I, your servant Yun'er, am here by the order of my queen to ask the two young ladies to move aside."

Hearing that it was Xiao Xiangfei who wanted to see them, the two looked at each other, and Chang Yan got out of bed and opened the door.

Seeing Chang Yan coming over, Yun Er bowed with a smile and said, "I brought water for the two girls to wash."
