The Imperial Palace was indeed a living human's cage. No matter where the Imperial Palace was, even the Imperial Palace of the Dragon Cliff Country was the same. It bound your body and mind, burying countless lives.
In the past, Bu Jinghua wouldn't have thought much about being imprisoned in such a palace. Even though he was quite free to move around in the past, his heart was restrained to the point where he couldn't breathe. He was very clear about how terrible that feeling was, and compared to living and eating like this, it was simply incomparable.
It was unknown how many times she had pushed the door open. The moment the door opened, the two palace maids standing guard outside immediately came out and blocked the door. Although they were standing modestly in the middle of the room, respectfully waiting for Bu Jinghua's orders, how could they not know what was going on?
"Damn it!" Bu Jinghua cursed under his breath and slammed the door shut to express his anger. She had said before that she was going to take a walk in the garden, but she didn't expect that these two dead maids would actually bring the empress out. They said that if she was pregnant, someone had to follow her, and if she wanted to go out she had to receive the empress's prior instructions.
Damn it, didn't Bu Jinghua become a prisoner here? Even taking a walk in the garden would require an explanation. The Empress's intention of imprisoning her was too obvious!
Glancing angrily at the door, Bu Jinghua felt aggrieved from the bottom of his heart. Looking at the luxurious room, he felt a little dispirited.
"Little girl, what's wrong? You miss that kid, right? How long had it been? Can't hold it in anymore? " Suddenly, the hummingdragons' mocking words rang in his ears, causing Bu Jinghua's face to turn slightly hot.
"Where?" With the young girl's heart being seen through so easily, even Bu Jinghua, who had experienced an extraordinary feat, was now showing the hypocrisy of a little girl.
"Hehe, don't deny it. I understand and have experienced this kind of thing before. Actually, admitting it in a more generous manner is nothing to be ashamed of!" The words of the hummingdragon rang in his ears again.
"..." "A little!" Bu Jinghua pouted and lightly admitted it.
"Hehe, I knew it!" Bee Dragon laughed proudly, but quickly stopped laughing, "Girl, there's nothing we can do about you being trapped here! Countless pairs of eyes seem to be watching you from this place. Even if I wanted to eat something good, it would be difficult. Sigh, little girl, I have to think of a way to leave this place! " The hummingdragon sighed for Bu Jinghua's situation. Indeed, apart from the two palace maids by the door, there were many guards in the courtyard as well. The empress had treated her like a prisoner of utmost importance.
The most despicable thing was that her appetite was tightly controlled. She said that she was already fat enough and couldn't get any fatter. If she continued to get fatter, it would just be embarrassing for the imperial family. What a joke, she was still a pregnant woman. If she didn't eat fat, how could she feed the child in her stomach? Not to mention that the Bee Dragon didn't get to eat, even Bu Jinghua himself felt that he did not have enough to eat. If this went on, not to mention the children, even she herself would be severely undernourished.
The empress had the intention of making things difficult for her, especially when she had a kind smile that hid a dagger. Having a good reputation outside after a person's death was the empress' specialty.
"Teacher, what can you do?" Sigh, she had already thought of a way to get out of here. But that was also the best she could do!
"Sigh, what can I do? I can only wait. I have no idea how long I will have to wait until that brat comes to save you!" Bee Dragon's indifferent tone seemed to indicate something else.
"Teacher, I won't wait any longer. From now on, let's continue with our devilish training!" Wait, wait for someone else to step on it? Forget it, becoming strong is the only way to resist.
"Hehe, I've been waiting for you to say those words. It's just that, this time, it's not the Devil's training, but …" Peaceful training! "Little girl, it's good that you have that intention, but you still have to think for the little fellow in your stomach!" The hummingdragon said with a hint of gratification and gentleness. The tiny life in Bu Jinghua's stomach made the beehive quite excited. If that was the case, then she was his grandma … Although he called her a little too old, but that kind of feeling … The hummingdragon felt excited and joyful just thinking about it.
"Un, I understand!" Bu Jinghua nodded. His watery eyes gently looked at his stomach that did not seem to have changed at all. His heart melted at that moment.
As long as he thought of the treasure in his stomach, Bu Jinghua felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
"Right, teacher, I forgot to tell you something!" Ever since the hummingdragon had awoken, Bu Jinghua had been busy with his own matters and had almost forgotten about it. This caused him to feel a little sorry for his teacher.
"What is it?" The Bee Dragon lightly asked. In fact, he was slightly excited from the bottom of his heart.
"That's right. A few days ago, I got a little snake cub. I thought it would be beneficial to your cultivation, so I wanted to give it to you. I don't know if it would be of any use to you!" Bu Jinghua flicked the Glass Bracelet, and the snake cub was immediately released from it. It immediately became very intimate with Bu Jinghua, and impatiently jumped into his arms, as it cutely licked Bu Jinghua's cheeks. Its round and large eyes were especially watery, and it looked extremely adorable.
It was only after Bu Jinghua had discovered that the bracelet could let the air in, that was why she kept the baby snake inside for so long and didn't suffocate it to death.
"Wuwuwu …" The little snake cub intimately licked Bu Jinghua's cheek. Its pair of watery eyes pitifully looked at Bu Jinghua as it continuously whined. It looked extremely pitiful.
"Kid, are you hungry?" When Bu Jinghua saw the snake cub's reaction, he immediately understood its intentions. He rubbed the snake cub's head and suddenly, as if he thought of something, he stopped and retracted his hand. Even his expression became cold.
"Wu wu wu!" The little snake cub nodded his head in affirmation and let out a few pitiful cries, as if it was telling Bu Jinghua that it was extremely hungry.
That's right, he had been placed inside the bracelet for two to three days. If he couldn't even drip a drop of water within a few days, how could he not be hungry?
In his heart, Bu Jinghua felt sorry for the snake cub, but he didn't want to show it. After all, she didn't want to spend any more time on it and this snake cub would eventually be dedicated to her teacher.
"Teacher …" Bu Jinghua softly called out. The beehive flew out from Bu Jinghua's bosom and stopped in the air above the snake cub. Its pair of eyes silently sized up the snake cub and asked, "This guy?" His tone was still as indifferent as before, and there wasn't any hint of surprise in his voice.
"En!" Bu Jinghua lightly nodded and did her best to not feel so sad. She was very clear about what would happen if she gave the baby snake to the dragon, but wasn't the reason why she desperately tried to get the baby snake for her teacher? She had only known him for a few days, and now she was going to go back on her words …
"Wuwuwu …" Seeing the unfamiliar object that suddenly ran out of Bu Jinghua's arms, the baby snake's expression changed. Immediately after, its adorable expression changed and it immediately revealed a wary expression towards the beehive. Its small body even started to tremble in fear as it tightly snuggled into Bu Jinghua's arms for protection.
"Little fellow, don't …" Feeling the fear of the baby snake, Bu Jinghua wanted to say something to comfort it, but he was at the end of his sentence. What should he say to comfort it? What she did next was to harm it to the bottom of her heart. She no longer had any reason or qualifications to comfort it.
"My good disciple, could it be that you want to give it to me? You know how I treat this thing! " The hummingdragon stopped in front of Bu Jinghua, staring at the baby snake with bloodshot eyes.
"Wuwuwu …" Upon hearing the Bee Dragon's words, the baby snake immediately started to protest, and kept pushing himself up into Bu Jinghua's arms while shaking its head at him. Its watery eyes were even more pitiful and fierce as it stared at Bu Jinghua, causing him to feel reluctant to part with it.
"En!" Bu Jinghua was slightly surprised, but he nodded his head in affirmation.
"Wuwuwu …" Upon hearing Bu Jinghua's reply, the little snake cub's body went stiff. It looked rather spiritual and was able to hear both the words of the Bee Dragon and Bu Jinghua very clearly.
"Ai, what a pity. Such a cute little thing …" Hearing Bu Jinghua's answer, the Bee Dragon felt rather touched, but remained calm on the surface. After circling around the snake cub once, it said with deep regret.
"Little fellow, it's useless. The things that she has decided on are basically things that cannot be changed. It seems that she can only pity you!" The hummingdragon looked at the baby snake with a regretful expression.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The little snake cub was also well aware of Bu Jinghua's temperament. After being struck down by the Bee Dragon's words, he was scared witless. Then, he gave a few hostile roars towards the Bee Dragon and jumped out of Bu Jinghua's embrace. He then moved to the window and looked at Bu Jinghua reluctantly, as if he was saying goodbye.
"Little fellow, you …" He didn't expect that the little snake cub would resist in such a strong manner. Furthermore, he didn't expect that this little fellow's sense of danger would be so strong. Even Bu Jinghua was a little taken aback by this. This fellow's intelligence was quite high.
"Wuwuwu …" The snake cub cried out a few times, but in the end, he still crawled towards the window, and soon, his small body disappeared.
"Eh …" Bu Jinghua was about to give chase, but he did not expect there would be a scream from outside, "Hey, snake, what a strange snake! Everyone come over quickly, let's kill it together! Don't let it hurt the fourth prince's consort, quick!" Suddenly, waves of footsteps could be heard outside. The scene outside was a complete mess due to the appearance of the baby snake.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" He hadn't expected that the outside world would be so dangerous. Despite the fear in his heart, the little snake cub still forced himself to become fierce, shouting and threatening the palace maids that surrounded him.
"Crap!" He didn't expect the empress to be so worried about him. There were so many people lurking around, even at the window. That was why the snake cub was discovered. He must have been killed like a monster. Bu Jinghua pushed open the door and was about to go over.
"Fourth prince's consort, you …" Just as the two palace maids were about to block the way, Bu Jinghua pushed them away, "Whoever dares to come in my way, don't blame me for being impolite!" Bu Jinghua angrily pulled out his Purple Rock Spear, and the muzzle of the spear prepared one of the palace maids' heads.
"This …" The palace maid looked at the Purple Rock Spear in fear. Within the palace, it was unknown whether or not the fourth prince's consort had the right to use the small silver spear. Even if they had never seen it with their own eyes, the rumors of the moment of fame had already spread like wildfire through every corner of the palace. The moment the fourth prince's consort moved her fingers, their heads would explode into pieces like fruits.
"Get out of my way!" The two palace maids didn't dare act rashly as soon as the Purple Rock Spear appeared. They moved aside to move out the empress's name again. "Fourth Prince's consort, the empress said that if you want to leave, you must …"
"One more word, I'll make your head explode!" Damn it, these little palace maids actually dared to put on such a show. Bu Jinghua was only thinking about the baby serpent's safety, so he didn't care about the empress. She had been bullied for a long time.
As soon as Bu Jinghua said those words, the two palace maids shut their mouths. Although the empress's order was important, they couldn't ignore their own lives. If the fourth prince's consort really shot, then they wouldn't even have a place to redress their grievances.
When they arrived outside the window, they saw that the snake cub was being surrounded by a group of guards holding a spear. When they arrived outside the window, they saw that the snake cub was being surrounded by a group of guards holding a spear.
The snake cub, who was in the middle of danger, could only watch helplessly as the spears stabbed towards him. He was pleasantly surprised by Bu Jinghua's appearance, but when he thought about his actions just now, he became dispirited. He even stubbornly refused to ask Bu Jinghua for help.
"Stop!" Bu Jinghua yelled, but no one took her words seriously at the moment, so she had no choice but to raise the violet spear in her hand and shoot at the sky with a bang. The sudden sound made the imperial guards turn around, and they all looked at Bu Jinghua with slight astonishment, looking at the violet spear in his hand.
"What is it? Are you guys looking down on me? " Bu Jinghua raised the violet spear in his hand and aimed it at the imperial guards.
"Fourth prince's consort, why did you run out? This place is dangerous, hurry up and enter the house!" A guard took a step forward, seemingly respectful but actually commanding, "You, continue to kill it!"
"I told you to stop!" Seeing that the snake cub was about to be besieged by the spear, Bu Jinghua roared and took a step forward. He did not expect the imperial guards to block his path.
"Fourth prince's consort, please leave!" You are not fit to be here. " That guard really thought that Bu Jinghua was a completely different person.
"Hmph, you dare say you're ordering me?" She might have been ignored when she asked that question just now, but now, these people really didn't take her, Bu Jinghua, seriously at all.
Moving the violet spear in his hand, Bu Jinghua aimed the muzzle at the head of the guard who was speaking.
"This... "This humble one doesn't dare, it's just that the empress has ordered …" This guy brought the Queen out again, damn it.
"What is it? Did the empress allow you to order me like this and ignore my orders? " Bu Jinghua lightly smiled. His ice-cold aura made people feel that he was not to be trifled with.
"This... This little one doesn't dare! " Hearing the toughness in Bu Jinghua's words, the imperial guard did not dare to act rashly. He immediately lowered his head and stood still.
"Hmph, it would be best if you don't dare. Otherwise, I will directly take your head!" Bu Jinghua coldly said. His eyes were so cold that no one dared to look him in the eye.
"You guys, get out of the way!" Waving the Purple Rock Spear in his hand, Bu Jinghua signaled the guards to give way.
"But …" They still had to delay, so Bu Jinghua unhappily said, "Huh?" With a shout, he began to move the gun board.
When they heard the sound, the imperial guards looked at each other and immediately made way for her.
"Kid, are you alright?" Looking at the snake cub who was curled up on the ground, yet still stubbornly fighting against the imperial guards, Bu Jinghua's heart ached. This kid was still as stubborn as before.
"Howl …" The snake cub was grateful towards Bu Jinghua's request, but he felt wronged whenever he thought of what Bu Jinghua wanted to do to him. He even turned his head away and stubbornly refused to look at Bu Jinghua.
"…" This little guy seemed to have a bit of a temper. Bu Jinghua helplessly sighed in his heart.
"Alright, hurry up and come up. Otherwise, we'll be caught and sent to the brothel!" Bu Jinghua's indifferent tone was full of concern.
"…" The snake cub was shocked when he heard Bu Jinghua's words. He fearfully looked at the pikes of the imperial guards with fear in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and then his eyes darkened. Finally, he decided to jump into Bu Jinghua's arms.
"The fourth prince's consort …" When the imperial guards saw that Bu Jinghua was carrying the monster-like snake in his arms, they became anxious. Although the empress had a strange attitude towards the fourth prince's consort and told them to do whatever it took to keep her here, they had already said that they were not allowed to hurt her … If this snake bit the fourth prince's consort, then they would be the ones to be blamed!
"What is it? "Get out of the way, this is my pet. If you still dare to hurt it, I won't forgive you!" Bu Jinghua's words were filled with an unquestionable domineering aura. The royal guards didn't dare to question him even if they had something to say.
Pet... It was strange for nobles and nobles like to treat cats and dogs as pets, while the fourth prince's consort was even weirder. She actually liked to treat dangerous and strange snakes as pets!
Seeing Bu Jinghua carry away the snake cub, those guards could only look at each other in dismay. Then the leader who had just spoken twisted his head and a look appeared in his eyes. The guard who received the signal immediately saluted and ran to report.
