Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf

“I can’t stay here!” She stood up abruptly as her expression was slightly fearful and worried, “Something must have happened to Liu San! Consort Hui is going to silence those involved so she wouldn’t be dragged into deep waters; I have to seek respite and forgiveness from His Majesty!”

She ran out as she spoke, but she was starting to hallucinate. She imagined Emperor Lin blocking her way and a guard who was guarding the gates of the Yinshuang Palace, preventing her from entering or leaving.

As she yelled, the guard by the gates had a front-row seat to witness Imperial Concubine Mei delve into a state of madness as he paid no heed to the string of words that came out from her mouth.

Xixiang and the other maidservant dragged the Imperial Concubine back into the room. Xixiang comforted her, “Imperial Concubine, nothing will go wrong! This is the palace and there are guards outside.Even if she had the bravery of the Gods, she wouldn’t dare to make a move when you remain here. We humble servants always check the Imperial Concubine’s meals before serving them, so please don’t worry. Tomorrow I will search for Liu San bright and early!”

Imperial Concubine Mei was still upset, so she asked them to take the scissors and hide it under her pillows. She huddled under the covers and her eyes remained open in horror as she did not dare to fall asleep until a later hour.

She made such a huge commotion to the point where Xixiang and the other maidservant didn’t dare to sleep as they kept lying on her bedside to guard her.

But as the night grew stronger and sleepiness gradually hit, the two of them started to doze off.

The swaying candlelight in the house suddenly went out at some point and a strange fragrance wafted from the air, gradually relaxing the bodies of the two dozing servant girls.

Imperial Concubine Mei’s nerves were already highly tense; she was abnormally frantically vigilant about any movements during the night and she was sensitive to foreign scent. As soon as she smelled the scent, she felt that something was wrong. She suddenly covered her mouth and nose with a quilt and screamed in horror.

The man in black who was waiting outside was taken aback by the scream.

He hasn’t even entered yet, so why was there a scream?

If this attracted the guards on patrol, he wouldn’t be able to take action tonight.

No, the Consort gave an order— I must finish off Imperial Concubine Mei by tonight!

The man in black no longer hesitated as he picked the lock of the door with a razor, moving towards Imperial Concubine Mei who was stunned on the bed. His martial arts skills sped up his movement and by the time she was able to react, her mouth and nose were already covered by a large and cold hand. At the same time, he took out a white silk in his arms and made it clear that he wanted to strangle her.

Imperial Concubine Mei’s eyes widened in horror as her whole body began to struggle.

But her strength was weaker than that of the man in black. Seeing that the white silk was about to wrap her neck, she suddenly took out the scissors hidden under the pillow and fiercely pierced it into the arm of the man in black.

The man in black didn’t expect her to have a trick under her sleeve, so he couldn’t help but let go under the sudden infliction of pain. She crawled out of the bed with her hands and feet. When she passed by Xixiang, who was lying on the bed, she stabbed her shoulder with scissors as well.

Xixiang, who was stunned by the scent, woke up suddenly from her sudden injury.
