"Wenqing, can I ask you some questions?" If she wanted to leave this place, she would have to get a rough idea of the terrain, so that she wouldn't run around like a headless fly.

"Mm. Miss, what do you want to know? This servant entered the palace at the age of twelve. It has already been nearly four years, and I've heard quite a bit about this palace!" As she busied herself with her work, she turned around to look at her eating and said with a smile.

"Alright, I will ask! "What kind of place is this courtyard I live in? Exactly how big is this palace? What if I get lost inside this palace?" With a thought, Cen Xue turned to ask her.

Wen Qing tidied up the bed for her while carefully answering her question. "This is called Wen Yuan Pavilion, and it's just an unremarkable little garden in the imperial harem. But don't worry Miss. I believe that the King will definitely take you away from here."

Cen Xue's face stiffened. It seemed like this little girl thought that she wanted to become an imperial concubine. However, this couldn't be blamed on her. It was all due to this environment that she was nurtured to such a state.

"This palace is huge! There are many places that I've never been to, but I'm more familiar with the servants of the harem. The Queen Mother of the harem resides in the Phoenix Maiden Palace of the East Palace, and there are also a few palaces around. They are the sleeping palaces of a few concubines, and most of the concubines live in the West Palace. Wen Qing paused before continuing.

"Young lady, you've just arrived. If you have nothing better to do, then you'll have to avoid going out. The concubines in this palace are not to be trifled with. Each of them has their own background. Young lady, you've just received the king's favor, so you have to be extra careful!" Cen Xue listened for a long time, but she did not manage to get to the most important point. However, the rest of her words would never connect with her.

"Wenqing, you've been in the palace for so many years. Have you never left to go home and take a look?" Cen Xue only wanted to know the route to leave this place. She had no interest in knowing how big the devil's harem was.

"Of course there is. Every three months, the palace will let us go out the side door in batches to take a look, but on the same day, we must come back. If we don't, we will raid the entire family!"

Her eyes lit up. This girl had finally mentioned the part that interested her. Putting down the tableware, she pulled her along as they chatted. She had to figure out the way out as soon as possible.

Soaking in the hot tub, Cen Xue carefully thought back to what Wen Qing had said this afternoon. She had that beast tag in her hands, and now it just so happens that she can use it to safely leave the palace.

As Cen Xue looked at the kiss marks on her body, she felt that it was exceptionally dazzling. She wanted to retract all of her curiosity, so what did his drinking have to do with her? It did not matter whether he liked to eat people or drink blood, she would definitely escape from here. If she did not leave now, she would probably be tortured to death in her bed or turn into a dried up corpse after drinking blood. This was definitely possible!

She tried her best to wash away the remaining smell of him, but the escape plan had already been prepared in her mind. She didn't know how long she had been washing herself in the room, she only knew that she would not stop until she had washed herself.

As night fell, Cen Xue immediately put on her identity token and sneaked out. However, the terrain here was so chaotic. She hid here and left the West Palace but the huge palace had already knocked her unconscious.

Walking alone in the darkness, she knew that she had already lost her way. Looking around, she didn't see any signs or hints, just like a headless fly. She could only follow the directions given by the moonlight and advance step by step.

When Helian Shan appeared in her room as he had the night before, the scene of the room being empty infuriated him so much that he cut the bed that had been warm last night into two. His eyes were filled with anger …

He muttered angrily to himself, "Little thing, it seems that I've underestimated your ability. But you better hide yourself. Don't let me find you so quickly. Otherwise, the game will be too boring."
