Royal Palace.

Deep palace backyard.

Slaves' miscellaneous room.

A girl with a good face, wearing shabby clothes, squatted on the ground, scrubbing the clothes in the wooden basin with her hands.

Glitter beads of sweat wet the girl's bun and dripped to the ground along her fair face.

Snap, snap.

The dusk sunlight shone on her body and reflected on her cheeks, making them look crystal clear.

"Wu Mei Niang, these three basins of clothes have been handed over to you. You must wash them before dark, otherwise the nobles in the palace will blame you!"

Bang! The three basins were filled with clothes and fell in front of Wu Meiniang. An old woman looked down and said coldly.

"But it's less than half an hour until dark, how can I finish washing?" Wu Meiniang, who was fifteen years old, tried to resist and defend this impossible task.

"That's your business. I can't finish washing it, so I'll ask you for it!" After saying this, the old nanny turned and left.

Wu Meiniang looked at the coldness of the old woman, with anger showing in the depths of her eyes, but then she lowered her delicate face and stared at the reflection in the water in the wooden basin, with firm eyes, "Wu Meiniang, you can't rely on anyone... you can only

You can rely on yourself!”

Wu Meiniang endured the mist in her eyes, pulled three basins of clothes in front of her, and began to wash them with her hands.

The sun gradually disappeared behind the horizon, and the sky became dark.

Wu Meiniang rushed to wash the three basins of clothes in front of her before sunset...the task was completed!

"You finished washing so quickly? Didn't you say that you can't finish washing? It seems that this person is a bitch, and he can't get anything done without forcing him!" The old grandma from just now walked slowly over again.

The old mama waved her hand and saw five maids coming with five basins of clothes, "These five basins of clothes are also handed over to you. Wash them within half an hour, otherwise there will be no dinner!"

Wu Meiniang was busy from morning to night today. She did countless chores. Her body was already exhausted and her limbs were weak. How could she wash five more basins of clothes? And it was still within half an hour!

She wants to die!

Wu Meiniang endured the pain all over her body and stood up slowly, staring at the old woman with her eyes like a poisonous snake, "I can't finish washing!"

Seeing Wu Meiniang's snake-like eyes, the old grandma couldn't help but tremble in her heart. However, after all, she was an old grandma who had experienced things, but she was not afraid at all, "You have to wash it even if you can't finish it!"

"Little coquettish hoof, don't look at me like you're a dead daddy. You were sold into the palace by two brothers. Don't think you're still in Duke Ying's mansion!" the old mama said coldly, seeing Wu Meiniang's venomous snake look.

The look in his eyes made him realize that he couldn’t keep her!

"Don't insult my father!" Wu Meiniang was still a fifteen-year-old girl, and her mind had not yet matured enough to endure. She said loudly at this moment.

"Haha? Are you still anxious, little coquettish guy? Do you really think I don't know what you mean by being competitive and showing diligence? Don't you just want His Majesty or a certain prince to take a fancy to you and be lucky to you?"

"If you want to be an official, you are still a bit immature!"

"Wash these five basins of clothes for me, and then go and clean the toilet, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat for two days!" the old grandma said coldly.

Wu Meiniang was told her purpose by the old nanny in front of her. The girl's body couldn't help but trembled, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed, and despair arose in her heart.

Since the death of the warrior Xun, Wu Meiniang has not been welcomed by her two brothers and has been made difficult in every possible way. Her two brothers even planned to sell Wu Meiniang to a brothel to make money for them...

In desperation, Wu Meiniang had no choice but to move out of the Duke's Mansion with her mother. In addition, her mother was suffering from illness and had no money for medical treatment. Wu Meiniang chose to enter the palace to have a try... If she could win the emperor's favor, everything would be successful...

But at this moment, despair arose in Wu Meiniang's heart. The intrigues in the dark palace backyard made Wu Meiniang exhausted physically and mentally.

Here, the complexity and greed of human nature are vividly displayed to the extreme.

If an unpopular daughter of a prince suddenly falls from the throne, she will definitely face difficulties from the nuns around her... This is an extremely twisted perversion!

Look, she used to be the darling daughter of heaven, but now she has become a handmaid? A handmaid who is even more miserable and tired!

…

Wu Meiniang's face darkened, her eyes darkened, and she looked coldly at the old woman and the five maids in front of her.

"Huh? What? How dare you resist, little coquettish hoof?"

"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

Wu Meiniang turned around and hit the wooden pillar on the side.

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and blood stains were left on the pillars. Blood flowed across Wu Meiniang's forehead and she fainted.

When the five young palace maids saw such a scene, they were immediately frightened out of their wits, "It's dead, it's dead, it's dead..."

The old grandma was also quite shocked, but she still held her ground, "Why are you panicking? Take her to the cold palace and throw her into the well. You won't notice!"

"Remember, keep your mouth clean. If someone dies in the palace, you will not be able to get around him if he is investigated!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will obey your orders!"

…

As soon as the five maids carried Wu Meiniang away, someone came to the Tai Chi Palace.

"Where is Wu Meiniang? Come out to receive the order!" the leading eunuch asked.

When the old nanny heard that it was His Majesty's order and asked Wu Meiniang to come to receive it, she was immediately frightened and her face turned extremely pale, "This... this..."

The consul eunuch was an old man in the palace. Seeing that Wu Meiniang had not come out to receive the order for a long time, he could guess that there was something dirty in it. He smiled and said: "Where is Wu Meiniang? Let her come out quickly!"

"This... this..." The old woman hurriedly took out the gold, silver, jewelry and jade bracelets she had saved and stuffed them into the hands of the consul and eunuch.

Bang! The consular eunuch suddenly waved his hand and threw the jade bracelet to the ground, smashing it to pieces. His smiling face instantly turned gloomy, "If something happens to Wu Meiniang, not only will you die, Your Majesty will kill all nine of your tribes!"

Boom! The old grandma collapsed on the ground in fear, and said with a trembling voice: "I'm...I'm...going to the cold palace."

"It's broken!" The consul and eunuch didn't know the purpose of going to the cold palace. It was obviously to kill people.

After the consular eunuch cursed loudly, he hurriedly ran towards Leng Palace, hoping that he could be there in time.

…

"quick!"

"Quickly, send the imperial doctor!"

"Wu Meiniang was appointed by His Majesty to be betrothed to the son of Duke Zheng. We must rescue her!"

"Don't worry, your life is fine. It's just fainting caused by long-term fatigue and anemia..."

And at this time.

Zheng Guogong Mansion.

Wei Shuyu had just finished dinner and was going to go to Chang'an City for a walk to the night market.

But he saw Cheng Chumo running towards him in the distance.

"Shu Yu, Shu Yu, something bad is going to happen!" Cheng Chumo obviously ran over from home and panted without stopping for a moment.

"Chumo, calm down, calm down, Shuyu is still standing at the door of the house, what could happen?" Wei Shuyu said with a smile.

"Hoo! Hoo~ Of course I know that nothing happened to you, but something happened to your wife!" Cheng Chumo said anxiously.

"Daughter-in-law? You mean Wu Meiniang?" Wei Shuyu was stunned at first, and then immediately realized that although Princess Hengshan will also become his wife in the future, she is only five years old and she is Li Shimin's daughter. What can happen to her? It can only be Wu Meiniang!

"Chu Mo, what happened?"

Cheng Chumo quietly lay in Wei Shuyu's ear and said, "According to the news in the palace, your wife is very fierce. She couldn't bear the humiliation of the old slaves and maids. She bumped into a pillar and was covered with blood. Fortunately, the imperial doctor rescued her in time..."

Wei Shuyu's expression didn't change much after hearing this... It is conceivable that the backyard of the deep palace must be dirty.

Wu Meiniang... But the empress Wu Zetian will use unimaginable cruel methods in order to ascend to the throne in the future...

Perhaps Wu Zetian's viciousness was formed in the backyard of this deep palace. After seeing the complexity and greed of human nature...

What Wei Shuyu is concerned about is that Wu Meiniang is only fifteen years old now. How much has the filth in the palace backyard affected her?

Wei Shuyu initially asked for Wu Meiniang in order to change the general situation and obtain clues to the fate of the human race... It would be very bad if he married a vicious and vicious empress.
