A dark villain came to Jinting Bulaoxiang

Inside the mourning hall, the atmosphere was solemn and peaceful. Every person, animal, and bird was doing their own thing, not interfering with each other. In the corner of the mourning hall, a few rays of sunlight shone through the carved windows, and dust was flying in the light. On the walls of the mourning hall hung ancient calligraphy and paintings, adding a bit of cultural atmosphere to this solemn place.

The good concubine was filled with resentment. She staggered and her face was filled with anger. She was like a flower destroyed by the wind, having lost its former beauty and grace.

She rushed out of the door suddenly, her hair was a little messy, and her clothes fluttered in the wind. As soon as she went out, she met Eunuch Xiaoyi.

Eunuch Xiaoyi was shocked and bowed quickly, saying, "May your majesty be blessed with good health. What's wrong with you?"

The concubine's eyes flickered, and she would never tell the servants that she was beaten by the emperor. She straightened her body slightly, forced herself to be calm, straightened her clothes, and said, "I was sending the emperor his favorite pork chops, and I accidentally fell. Eunuch Xiaoyi, where is the place to wash here?"

"My dear concubine, even though the sun is out on this cold day, the water in Daning Lake is really cold! Let's go back to the palace to bathe and change clothes!"

Father-in-law Xiaoyi was worried and frowned as he advised. He rubbed his hands unconsciously, as if he was also worried about the cold weather.

"No problem!" The concubine frowned, her heart full of stubbornness. She thought, if other servants saw her in such a slovenly way, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

"Can you tell me where Daning Lake is?" Eunuch Xiaoyi took two steps back and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, just follow this road and it will be there! I will serve you!"

"No, I can do it myself!" The concubine said firmly, shook her sleeves, and turned to leave. Eunuch Xiaoyi looked at the concubine's back and said helplessly: "Goodbye, Madam!"

Hao Fei followed the path to the edge of Daning Lake, where she saw rippling waves and seven basins floating back and forth like lost boats.

Hao Fei was very puzzled, her eyebrows slightly frowned, her face full of doubts, but she couldn't figure out the reason. She squatted down, gently scooped up the lake water, and washed the stains on her skirt.

The lake water was freezing cold, and her hands were shaking slightly, but she resisted the chill and continued to wash. There was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she was fighting against the cold lake water.

After washing the skirt, the concubine stood up and turned around, only to see someone standing not far behind her. She widened her eyes in shock, her face full of fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Shuangyue, why are you here with me instead of protecting the emperor?"

Shuangyue walked towards her slowly, his face gloomy, and said in a hoarse voice: "Wrong, I am not following you, but I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Hao Fei's face changed, her eyes flashed with fear, and she took two steps back involuntarily. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat...

The little fox and Guaguamei, along with Little Chichi and Little Phoenix, collected the delicacies perfectly after some efforts. The braised spareribs in the small wooden box exuded an attractive aroma, as if telling the results of their hard work.

The little fox's eyes sparkled with a sense of accomplishment, and its tail swayed gently from time to time. Guaguamei jumped happily, and Xiaochichi and Xiaofenghuang also flapped their wings excitedly.

Suddenly, a muffled "bang" sound broke the silence. The two little foxes immediately became alert, they pricked up their ears, widened their eyes, stood up straight, and looked in the direction of the sound.

"What's that sound?" The little fox asked with a hint of doubt and uneasiness. Its ears trembled slightly, as if trying to catch more sound clues.

Guaguamei and the little phoenix reacted immediately, flapping their wings and flying onto the branch. Guaguamei stood on the branch, looking around with her eyes wide open.

"Let me see!" Its voice was crisp and urgent. The little phoenix stayed close to the quack sister, its feathers sparkling with colorful light in the sun, and its eyes were full of curiosity.

The four little guys stared with wide eyes, and saw an ugly girl with a graceful figure standing by the Daning Lake.

She was wearing ragged clothes, her hair was a little messy, and her face was covered with raised scars. She was concentrating on wrapping the bandage on her hand, and her movements were very flexible.

Her face seemed like a painting painted by cruel years and fate. The knife wounds crisscrossed like a ferocious centipede lying on her face. Some of the knife wounds were thin and shallow, as if they were lightly scratched by a sharp blade, leaving a faint pink mark, slightly raised, and particularly dazzling in the sun. The skin around the wound had lost its original smoothness and became rough and uneven.

There was a particularly obvious knife wound on her cheek, extending from the corner of her eye to her chin, like a deep ravine, destroying her originally beautiful face. The wound was dark red in color, with some black edges, and it had obviously healed after some time, but it was still shocking.

There were also tiny cuts around her eyes, which made her look tired and helpless. When she turned her face slightly, the sunlight shone on the cuts, casting shadows and highlighting their hideousness.

"Who is he? What is he doing?" Guaguamei asked curiously on the branch, her voice full of doubts. Her little head tilted to one side, her eyes fixed on the ugly girl.

The little fox shook his head, his eyes determined. "Let's go and take a look!" His voice was decisive and brave. The little fox's footsteps were brisk and powerful, and every step was full of determination.

The four little animals immediately ran towards the twin moons, their steps brisk and eager. Little Chichi followed closely behind the little fox, while the little phoenix circled in the air, guiding them in the right direction.

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here?" The little fox asked loudly, with a look of vigilance in its eyes. The little fox's fur stood up slightly, as if it was ready to deal with possible danger at any time.

Shuangyue slowly turned her face covered with knife wounds, revealing a faint smile. "I'm sending someone off. Go back, my little cuties. There's fruit wine at Queen Wanhao's place!"

Shuangyue's voice was hoarse and gentle, as if it carried a mysterious power. After that, she walked away quickly, her steps firm and powerful. Her figure gradually faded away in the sunlight, leaving the four little guys standing there, full of doubts.

"Hey, hey, you haven't told me who you are yet?" Guaguamei yelled, her voice full of resentment. Guaguamei flapped her wings, as if trying to catch up.

The little fox sniffed the air again and again, and his brows knitted slightly. "I've smelled this smell before, it must be someone we know!"

There was doubt in his voice. The little fox's eyes sparkled with thought.

"Who?" Little Phoenix asked, tilting his head.

"I don't know!" The little fox shook his head helplessly. He couldn't remember it for the time being.

The breeze blew gently by the lake, and the leaves rustled, as if telling an unknown story. The four little guys stood there, looking at the direction where Shuangyue left, their hearts full of curiosity and doubt. The sunlight sprinkled on them, casting long shadows, as if they were also waiting for the story of this mysterious ugly woman to be revealed.
