Chapter 3 "Su Xi-er, wake up! Don't goof off and pretend you're sleeping!" The caustic voice of a woman frightened the birds in the trees away . When she saw that the little b . i . t . c . h was still not awake, the woman immediately took a bucket of water and emptied on top of the pet . i . te woman on the ground .

Mu Tao, the woman who dumped the water, was clad in a coa . r . s . e yellow palace attire . Her hair was rolled up with a wooden hairpin, and her manner of dressing was very nondescript .

Splas . h . ! . + The pet . i . te woman's body was drenched . Her slender eyebrows were tightly knitted and her hands involuntarily twitched a few times .

"I knew you were feigning! See if you dare to pretend!" Mu Tao squatted and seized the pet . i . te woman's ear, ruthlessly pulling it outwards .

Ning Rulan had just regained consciousness when she felt her ear being firmly gripped by someone . The soreness all over her body caused her to furrow her brow tightly . The incessant yelling from Mu Tao only served to worsen her discomfort .

When she opened her eyes, her field of view was filled by a woman with a plump face and especially small eyes . When she narrowed them, they were almost indiscernible .

"You have finally woken up . If you pretend to faint again, I'll beat you to death!"

Ning Rulan was perplexed as she surveyed her surroundings . This woman is wearing coa . r . s . e palace attire . This indicates that I am currently located in an imperial palace .

But am I not already dead? Why did I come here? Where is this imperial palace?

"Su Xi-er, continue scrubbing the chamber pots . If you misbehave again, I'll report to Old Maidservant[1] Zhao . You just suffered a beating with the plank a few days ago . Have you already forgotten?" Mu Tao continued to swear as she berated . I have the worst luck . I actually got dispatched to watch over Su Xi-er . This woman has offended Old Maidservant Zhao . No one dares to approach her .

Su Xi-er? Why is she calling me that? Ning Rulan knitted her brow . Then, she proceeded to inspect her own body .
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
This body was pet . i . te to a fault, gaunt and weak to the point where she barely had any strength to speak of . She lifted her sleeves and found that her arms were wreathed in red marks from being flogged .

Ning Rulan's heart abruptly jumped . A ray of light suddenly flickered across her mind as scenes flashed across her mind one by one .

Beimin's imperial palace . The third year of the Jiaqing Period . The body's owner is Su Xi-er, a servant girl in the side quarters of the palace . She had been frequently bullied by others .

"Oh! So you're not pretending to be unconscious, but pretending to be silly, is that it?"

The flow of memories stopped with the shrill shriek of the woman's voice . It seemed that she would only be taking over this bit of memories .

When she saw that the woman was about to seize her ears again, Ning Rulan immediately tried to block it with a hand, only to fail with her fragile stature . Thus, she could only allow the woman to grab her wrist

"Rebelling?! I see that you're tired of living . Beimin's imperial palace is unable to tolerate a woman like you . You'll be killed sooner or later!"
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
She was currently in Beimin's imperial palace and living in a body that was not her own . While Ning Rulan did not believe in the occult, the current situation was simply too strange to be explained .

"Has your brain gone silly? Didn't you hear me calling you? Su Xi-er?"

"I haven't gone silly . " She inhaled a deep breath of air and stood up .

The Ning Rulan of the previous lifetime has already become the past . In this lifetime, I shall live properly in Su Xi-er's body!

"Quickly go and get to work!" Mu Tao looked at her with suspicion . Finally, she pointed to the chamber pots beside the well .
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
"I have to finish scrubbing clean all of these chamber pots?" Su Xi-er shot a glance at the side of the well . There were too many chamber pots and the sky was also getting dark . Moreover, her clothes were also soaked .
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
"Aren't you spouting nonsense? Your duty now is to scrub the chamber pots until they are spotless . "
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
Su Xi-er's countenance appeared calm . The original owner of this body had lived an abominable life . She was a palace maid scrubbing chamber pots in the Palace Side Quarters[2], somehow managing to get to the point where even other maids of the same position were disdainful of her and bullied her .

"Quickly get to work! Haven't you heard what I said!"
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
The clamour could be heard again . Su Xi-er raised her head and glanced at her indifferently . When Mu Tao received such a look, she was unable to suppress a panicked feeling in her heart . Why do I feel that Su Xi-er has become strange after waking up? She has always accepted insults meekly in the past, but the look she gave me just now was full of coldness . The Su Xi-er of the past wouldn't have such an expression in her eyes at all!

"I will scrub these clean . Where do I put them after I am done?" Su Xi-er squatted down, took a brush and started to scrub .

"Place the chamber pots in the room at the southwest of the Palace Side Quarters . The palace maids from the various palaces will come to collect them . This well is at the most extreme east side of the palace quarters . After you're done scrubbing, go and sleep . "

Su Xi-er raised her head to look at her . Directly sleep without anything to eat?

Mu Tao did not know why, but when Su Xi-er stared at her in such a manner, she felt like she was anch . o . r . ed to the spot . She was so nervous that she almost shuddered .
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
"Where is the place I sleep at? Where is the place for eating meals?" Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she gazed at Mu Tao silently .

Mu Tao swallowed some saliva . Has Su Xi-er been possessed? The expression in her eyes is so cold that it looks like she can see through everything .
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
"Where is it?"
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
The ice-cold voice entered her ears, causing Mu Tao's calf to stiffen . "The room you sleep in is at the back of the Palace Side Quarters . The third room, the third bed . As for meals, they'll be two hours from now . There's no waiting for people, so if you show up late there won't be anything left . " Only when she was done elaborating did Mu Tao realise that she had done something stupid . Although they were both palace maids of the palace Palace Side Quarters, Old Maidservant Zhao had dispatched her to supervise Su Xi-er . Su Xi-er should be listening to me!

"Who allowed you to use such a tone to talk to me?" Mu Tao was extremely furious . She was about to reach out a hand again to seize her .
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
"If you continue to talk here, I won't scrub the chamber pots anymore . If I can't finish all of them, will Old Maidservant Zhao let you off?"
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
Her words caused Mu Tao to put down her raised hand . What she said is right . If these chamber pots aren't scrubbed, Old Maidservant Zhao won't let me off either . Hateful Su Xi-er! When did she become so eloquent! Resentment rose in Mu Tao's heart but she could not do anything . Forget it . I'll just sit on the rock to the side and watch Su Xi-er scrub .

Su Xi-er didn't pay attention to Mu Tao . Too many things had happened and she needed time to rationalize them . Although her current situation wasn't sanguine, at least Heaven had given her a chance .

Living once again in this lifetime, I will no longer be Ning Rulan . I had been too careless in my previous lifetime . Even if I had formidable means, I was still stabbed in the back by the person I trusted the most . The Heart-Piercing Arrow and Lü Liu's death were like brands that seared her brain . She could not forget them .
Free and Original on volarenovels . Please read the most updated chapters on volarenovels .
While observing her from the side, Mu Tao felt that something was amiss . Su Xi-er's disposition is too strange . I can see the rancour in that pair of eyes . I must report to Old Maidservant Zhao . With such a thought in mind, she promptly ran ahead .

Su Xi-er ignored her and continued to scrub the chamber pots . As she gradually went through about half the pots, her drenched clothes were also blown dry by the wind . Right at this moment, she heard women discussing .

"Look at Su Xi-er . Her looks are better than those of He Xiangyu, but now instead of sweeping the palace path, she's scrubbing the chamber pots . "

"She and He Xiangyu were close sisters, but look at the difference between the two . Prince Hao took a fancy to He Xiangyu and took her into the Beauty Palace . "

"He Xiangyu rose in honour, but didn't come to help Su Xi-er . Looks like that's all there is to their friends . h . i . +p . Su Xi-er's efforts in taking the blame for He Xiangyu in the past were in vain . "

No words from the discussion escaped Su Xi-er's ears . Prince Hao? Is it the Pei Family's foster son, Pei Qianhao? I have heard of this man in Nanzhao before . This man is callous and blood-thirsty . He also likes to collect beauties . Any woman he takes a fancy to will be taken into the Beauty Palace . Rumours have it that there are 72 concubines in the Beauty Palace .
1 . I'll be using this term for the elder and senior female servants in the palace . They are usually older palace maids and have higher positions than the average palace maid . Some of them may also be wet nurses .
2 . It's part of the imperial harem and is where the palace maids reside .
