Sold again

At the middle of night I suddenly woke up.

I was very thirsty.

It was so dark.

Shitty ancient period.

I miss electricity.

I tried calling for a maid, but there was no one there.

So unprofessional.

Just few hours ago, this place was bustling with people.

At least my maids should have be here.

"Daiyu" I tried.

Nothing.

"Chunhua, Huifen"

Still nothing.

What's happening?

I was becoming more and more thirsty, so I tried to feel around with my hands.

In the end I opened a window and let moonlight to come into my room.

It was a full moon, so light coming into my room was enough to discern some things.

Like kettle.

So I drank directly from it like a barbarian.

Really refreshing.

Then I found the way to light the candles, and finally room wasn't that dark anymore.

By the way, wasn't emperor died like yesterday, and wasn't this place guarded till teeth?

This is a palace of high ranking concubine, albeit a childless one, but how is difference so big between day and night?

I started to get suspicious.

I'm literally staying in a side chamber of my aunt's room, but nobody heard me calling for maids?

My suspicion doubled when I still felt hot and bothered even though I'm literally standing by the window.

It's spring, but it's not that warm at night.

Did I fall for some underhanded plot?

I'm here not even a day and already I got schemed against.

And the only person who would do it is my dear aunt. Snake.

I knew she was somewhat fishy when she called me this afternoon.

What benefits she could get from drugging me? Because this felt more like aphrodisiac than some deadly poison.

I'm definitely doomed.

Is she planning to offer me to someone?

Dude, I just became a widow.

And can we say again, emperor just died.

If someone discovers an emperor's concubine rolling between the sheets with some strange man on a day Emperor died, I definitely will be given a bowl of poison.

No no no no no NO!!!!

I really have a terrible luck.

I should have known that new life won't be given to me that cheaply.

Am I in hell already?

What to do?

I still felt terribly warm.

And dizzy.

Then my smart ass made a dumb decision.

I've seen the well outside my window.

It was quite close.

At least I thought so.

My drugged up brain though that if I splash myself with a cold water, I should be able to bring down the heat.

Haha.

So I jumped out of window, only in inner clothes, because why not? This obviously became a ghost town.

I trotted to the well in my socks, and mind you, that well wasn't really that close.

I was half blind in dark, only moon accompanied me.

Then I brought the water up in a bucket and dumped everything on myself.

My brain cleared up and I finally realized how stupid I am.

This is ancient period, I'm in my inner wear and I'm drenched to the bone.

Damn.

If someone passes by, I'm finished.

Then I turned around and saw Jiang Qingyuan standing across from me.

It dawned on me who is my new highest bidder.

Well, perfect.

Or not.

That snake of my aunt should better prepare to die.

Isn't that so~
