Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 91 Taking a slap in the face? That's too kind!

The eldest princess was unusually quiet after nightfall.

Although Zhou Wei has taken office as the commander of the princess's army, she has never truly commanded troops because she has always followed Jiang Yueli.

After the curfew, Zhou Wei gathered several captains of the guards together for a talk.

"Gentlemen, there have been many heinous crimes in the capital recently, and the victims are all young boys and girls. The maids and servants in our princess's residence are all quite young, making them easy targets for thieves."

"Therefore, everyone should keep their eyes open and increase patrols at night to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the situation."

"Furthermore, as you all know, there is a matter between Her Highness the Eldest Princess and the third-ranked scholar Chu Tiance. The students from the North, together with the officials of the court, submitted a lengthy petition to His Majesty, demanding the annulment of the engagement."

“Our princess is naturally magnanimous and will not hinder the birth of a literary genius. However, the princess admires talent and has asked the emperor for a favor, hoping to personally witness the third-ranked scholar write a world-shaking article.”

"The princess's test questions have now been prepared. In two days, she will be joined by ten thousand students outside the Temple of Agriculture to witness the test."

"These exam questions are related to the cultural heritage of the North and the reputation of the third-ranked scholar. You must patrol and keep a close eye on them, lest someone else steal them."

The men immediately cupped their hands and said, "Please rest assured, Commander, we will certainly be loyal to our duties."

Zhou Wei nodded in satisfaction, then waved to dismiss the crowd.

Back at her residence, she found Xiao Ziyu changing her blankets.

"Sister Wei, the sun has been shining these past few days, so I've been taking your quilt out to air it every day."

"I'll put a mattress on it for you in a bit, you'll definitely sleep comfortably."

Zhou Wei patted Ziyu's head: "Little Ziyu, you're so wonderful! Why don't you sleep with me tonight? We can chat."

Ziyu shook her head and said, "That won't do. Tonight, Aunt Hongxiu will be keeping watch for the princess. I have to go and relieve her first thing tomorrow morning."

"If I sleep with you, I might not be able to fall asleep even in the middle of the night."

That's true.

When girls spend time together, it's just like in a college dormitory; they often chat all night long.

Watching Xiao Ziyu leave, Zhou Wei immediately blew out the lamp.

In the darkness, she stared at the bed curtains with her eyes open, listening quietly to the sounds coming from outside.

After an unknown amount of time, a shadow flashed in.

Hu Youniang felt extremely happy!

She can't go to places like temples and shrines, but can't she even enter a princess's residence?

The princess's residence was heavily guarded, but to her, it was as if she were in an empty place.

Princess Jiang Yueli was foolish. The test questions were just casually placed in the brocade box, and she easily obtained them by using some tricks.

In this way, I will not fail in my duty to you, Chu Lang!

However, after stealing the exam questions, Hu Youniang should have left the princess's residence immediately.

However, seeing Zhou Wei reprimanding the guards ignited hatred in his heart.

Thinking about how she had been kicked by this lowly maid and had her dagger snatched away, Hu Youniang wished she could get rid of her as soon as possible!

Therefore, as night fell, she secretly slipped into Zhou Wei's room.

Meanwhile, the Maluo system also issued a notification to Zhou Wei.

[Main Quest for Promotion: Frustrate Hu Youniang's plan to retrieve the dagger! And follow the clues to uncover the secret behind why the dagger contains a trace of national destiny.]

As soon as Hu Youniang entered the room, she couldn't contain her anger.

"Damn it! That bitch Zhou Wei dared to use my precious dagger to scrape the sole of my shoe?"

Next to the dagger was a pair of official boots, the soles of which were still covered in mud.

The mud on the dagger hadn't been cleaned off either; it was obvious what Zhou Wei had done with it!

He realized that he had always kept the dagger close to his body.

Now Zhou Wei was scraping the soles of her shoes with a dagger; the mud was mixed with something else and looked incredibly filthy.

Hu Youniang felt nauseous just thinking about it!

"You wretch! I didn't intend to kill you, but you insulted my dagger and even dared to hurt me."

"Today, I'll repay you with my heart and liver!"

Hu Youniang slowly approached the sleeping Zhou Wei.

Looking at Zhou Wei's innocent face in her sleep, Hu Youniang couldn't help but lick her lips.

"The heart of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old is truly delicious..."

As she spoke, Hu Youniang stretched out her right hand, and the tips of her five fingers extended sharp nails, which gleamed coldly in the afterglow of the moonlight!

Just as Hu Youniang was about to turn around and rip out Zhou Wei's heart.

Suddenly, I saw a dark shadow flash before my eyes, followed by a sharp pain in my chest.

The immense impact sent Hu Youniang flying out of the house!

Lying on the ground, Hu Youniang clutched her chest, unable to recover for a long time.

She was all too familiar with that pain!

Isn't this the flying kick from that vile servant Zhou Wei?

Just then, Zhou Wei walked out of the room with a smile.

"Hey! Who's the thief? How come they're even stealing from the princess's residence?"

Hu Youniang was dressed in black and her face was covered, so she did not reveal her true identity.

She made such a commotion flying out of the house that she could faintly hear the voices of the guards not far away.

Damn Zhou Wei, I hadn't even gotten the dagger yet, and she kicked it out.

She must avenge this!

Ignoring the large number of guards at the princess's residence, Hu Youniang unleashed her skills and attacked Zhou Wei again.

"You lowly servant, I couldn't act last time because of Chu Lang! This time, I'll make you taste my methods." Hu Youniang thought to herself, and her movements became even more ruthless.

Unexpectedly, just as he got close to Zhou Wei, she grabbed his collar.

"Ha! You actually dare to resist?"

Hu Youniang was dumbfounded!

She was confident that she was extremely fast, and that most people would not be able to react in time and would be injured by her.

Why was I captured by that vile servant Zhou Wei?

Not only that, she couldn't break free at all!

Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Shocked, aren't you? You think you're so capable that you look down on people like us?"

"Then today I'll show you that even a nobody can hit someone hard!"

clap clap-

After Zhou Wei finished speaking, she unleashed the Tathagata Palm!

Dozens of slaps rained down on Hu Youniang's face like a storm.

The slap left the vixen completely stunned!

If she hadn't remembered that she couldn't reveal her identity, she would have already started cursing!

"How could this be? I couldn't dodge that bitch's flying kick, how come I can't even dodge her slap?"

Hu Youniang was shocked as she took Zhou Wei's Buddha's Palm with her face.

After a short while, his mind was still a bit foggy from the beating!

Looking at Hu Youniang, whose eyes were somewhat dazed.

Zhou Wei let go of her in an instant!

Hu Youniang fell to the ground, feeling as if countless hands were waving in front of her, about to slap her face.

Zhou Wei squatted down and looked at her with a smile.

"You thief, you're quite polite. Why do you always take my slaps with such a smug look on your face?"

"Since you're being so polite, I'd like to see what you actually look like!"

As Zhou Wei spoke, she reached out to pull off Hu Youniang's veil.

Hu Youniang finally came to her senses, her heart pounding. If Zhou Wei discovered her identity, she would surely guess that the exam questions had been stolen.

What should Chu Lang do?

For Chu Tiance's sake, and also to avoid falling into Zhou Wei's hands.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Hu Youniang's eyes, and she spat out a mouthful of blood!

Then, her figure vanished like a wisp of smoke, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When the guards arrived, they all shouted that they would search the streets.

Zhou Wei smiled and waved her hand, "No need, let her go!"

"The stage is all set up for the princess. If she doesn't leave, who will perform?"
