"Something like that." Now that time was running out, he estimated that the effects of the pill were almost gone. All the pain would be added to his body, causing him to be in so much pain that he wished he were dead.

"Then you have to think carefully, today is the deadline for us to leave the palace. After tonight, we'll be considered pretty girls, even if we won't be chosen by the imperial princes, we'll still have to stay in the palace and work as palace maids. This time, we'll have to stay for over ten years or twenty years …"

Chu Yunge understood what she meant, but she could only bitterly smile. If it was really that simple, then she would immediately leave the palace and rush back to her father's side. However, her current situation was one where she could not even meet her father.

Chu Yunge was laughing bitterly, when Feng Yi appeared at the door of the room. He did not enter from the outside, but the leader waved at Chu Yunge, "Chu Yun, come over."

Feng Yi brought Chu Yunge back to his own room, and closed the windows, "Why is there someone else in your room?"

"Do you think everyone is like you? How can people like us have room for everyone?" Chu Yunge rolled her eyes at Feng Yi, today's battle had completely destroyed Feng Yi's reputation, in order to not offend Liang Limo, all the pretty girls looked at him and kept on walking.

Even if they made a double room for Feng Yi, most likely no one would be willing to stay there.

Feng Yi lied beside Chu Yunge's ear. "Tonight, when I was at the northeastern corner of the courtyard, if your roommate isn't easy to deal with, I'll directly put him down."

"Today?" After all, they had just entered the palace, so they had to leave in the middle of the night.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." It was indeed too late now. They would have to delay it for a day, and the more likely the illness would break out, the more they would know about the attitude of the Worryfree Hall, and there would be too many unknown factors mixed in.

Chu Yunge thought for a while, and really did not have any other better way, "Alright, then come with me wearing a set of light and light clothes." Right now, the Chu Emperor Palace was completely surrounded. If she wanted to quietly enter the palace, he could only go through the tunnel.

Like all imperial palaces in the empire, there was an enormous underground passage beneath the Great Chu Imperial Palace. The purpose was to use this tunnel to escape the Imperial Palace if an accident ever occurred.

When the Imperial Protector Princess was young, he liked to play around. At that time, when the Earth Passage was being repaired, Chu Yunge accidentally saw it when she was looking for Chu Jing to play again.

After that, every time she came to royal father's room, she would have to study the bed for a long time. After that, when she was in her room, she would see her royal father opening a secret tunnel, and memorized the password. She picked a day when no one was there, opened up the bed and went through it, wandering around inside for an entire day.

After that, he punished her to face the wall for three months and scolded her not to tell anyone before she gave up on this matter.

But up until now, it was unknown if the tunnel was the actual underground palace or if the Worryfree Hall had found the tunnel. Even if it was the Imperial Protector Princess's memories, it was something that happened over a dozen years ago.

"The beautiful ladies have gathered …"

It was unknown who shouted from outside the door, but the beautiful ladies who were packing up in the room walked out one after another and stood in a pile in the yard. Don't even mention the Consul's eunuchs taking them away, they were just going to check the pieces. Although Chu Yunge wasn't that good at it, she was still better than this group of people. As such, it passed without incident this afternoon.

There were only a hundred or so Elementary Scholars left in their courtyard, and there should be a few more. In the next three days, day after day, the Elementary Scholars were selected.

In the evening, the beautiful ladies were all exhausted and brought back to their own courtyards by the Consul Eunuch. Along the way, they were heavily guarded and there was a girl who did not seem to be in charge.

With someone being on guard, the maidens from the various courtyards were able to calm down.

During the afternoon, Liang Limo kept on looking for trouble with Feng Yi while he was embroidering, taking away the sewing box and tripping her over intentionally while dancing. But he had also helped Feng Yi in such a way, the rest were still fine while he was at the zither, chess, calligraphy, dancing and embroidery.

When she returned to her room, Chu Yunge immediately laid on her bed, with her eyes looking up to the sky, Xiao Wei sat down, and extended her hand out to Chu Yunge: "Chu Yun, have you decided?" The sky would turn dark soon. If she did not leave today, she would not be able to leave. That would be a lifetime's worth of regret.

"I've thought about it, Xiao Wei, can you lend me a piece of clothes?" Chu Yunge sat up from the bed. For some reason, she didn't want to lie to the Xiao Wei in front of her, so she could weave a lie at will and exchange it for her sympathy. It wasn't difficult for her at all, but it wasn't possible for Xiao Wei.

"I only brought one piece of clothing. Can you lend me a more comfortable set of clothes?"

"Of course." Xiao Wei was actually feeling pained at the bottom of her heart for this girl who looked so quiet. This afternoon, Chu Yunge had been absent-minded and she had taken a look at all this.

Xiao Wei took his bag and opened it in front of Chu Yunge, "These are my clothes, if you don't mind, you can pick them anytime you want."

casually took out a piece of clothing that looked more like palace clothing. From the package, one could tell what kind of days she had lived through these years, and many of the clothes were still the same style as a few years ago.

Some of the clothes had already been washed until they were white. However, every piece of clothing in this bundle was neatly folded. They might not be very new or gorgeous, but they were all very clean and flat.

"Thank you, but I might not be able to return this dress to you." Tonight, if she wore this outfit and wandered around, there was a high chance that someone would see her. If she brought it back, it would be equivalent to bringing the culprit back with her.

"No need." Xiao Wei lowered his head, as if she was lowering his head and organizing her thoughts, and after a long while, Xiao Wei raised his head and held onto Chu Yunge's hand, "Chu Yun, since you've made up your mind to stay in the palace, I'm older than you, so what if you recognize me as your big sister?

Xiao Wei thought about it, and felt that what she said was not right, "I forgot, you came here together with Miss Wu, but you guys don't seem to have the same personality?" She was also very curious as to why two people with completely different personalities could become good friends. Perhaps it was because they were family members.

"She? "Not really."

"Oh? Why is that? In fact, Miss Wu seemed arrogant and despotic, but her true nature didn't seem like this. I felt that she was like a boy, living freely and doing whatever she wanted. who are on two different levels from me, "

Boy... To be exact, he wasn't a boy, he was a boy!

However, since Feng Yi was dressed up like that, it was not easy for Xiao Wei to see through him. After all, Xiao Wei did not look at the people she saw on the surface, so she felt that she was right.

"Then, are you agreeing or not?" Xiao Wei held Chu Yunge's hand and felt a little excited. At home, she couldn't say these words even after a year, as if all of her words had been said today, "We're sisters, no matter what kind of person we become in the future, or what position we're in, we'll take care of each other, okay?"

Chu Yunge pursed her lips and started laughing, wasn't this the most common scene in a movie? The women who had just entered the palace formed sisters. The ones who fought the most were the ones who broke down and fought the most. The ones who stabbed were usually the closest ones to them.

Seeing Chu Yunge not replying after a long time, Xiao Wei also laughed, "Actually, we are not sisters, but we can help each other take care of each other …"

"No, I'm willing to have one more sister." There seemed to be no reason, she just liked Xiao Wei's personality and it felt good to get along with him.

"Really? That's great!" That was why she wanted to take her in as a little sister to take care of her. Now, as she wished, having someone to take care of her in the palace was also a beautiful thing.

"I'm tired today, so you should get a good night's sleep. There's still going to be a selection tomorrow morning."

Chu Yunge was a little exhausted, she forced out a smile, "Good, good, don't show off your abilities too much tomorrow." In today's selection, Xiao Wei and Liang Limo were almost on the same footing, evenly matched before finally being able to display it. Liang Limo did not care, because she had the support of a huge shield.

Alone in the palace, if he revealed too much of his abilities, he would quickly become the target of public criticism. In the end, he didn't even know how he would die, this woman's battle with him was sometimes even more terrifying than real battles.

"I understand. Just let nature take its course. However, if you really want me to live the same life as them, it would be better to let me die earlier."

When Xiao Wei mentioned them, they probably referred to the women in the palace, "Go to sleep, it's too late."

Xiao Wei understood Chu Yunge's feelings. After all, in order to encounter something like this, no matter what she did, she would have to leave behind a lifetime's worth of regret. On one hand, it would be against his father's wishes, and on the other, she wouldn't be able to see his father's last glance.

After extinguishing the light, Chu Yunge closed her eyes, feeling the time slowly slip away from him. She estimated that when it was almost time, he had spread some aphrodisiac in her room, putting on her clothes to make sure that Xiao Wei had fainted, then carefully closed the door.
