Chapter 278: Don't blame her

"Night has fallen. So, everyone must retire to their respective chambers," Han Wenji walked away, followed by Eunuch Jin. Soon, everyone left the Palace Grounds except Sheng Li, Ying Lili, Nianzu, and Chuntao. 

"Hey, you!" Sheng Li said while looking at Chuntao. "Did you see what happened just now? You are a young girl, so better be careful next time if you do not want to get killed in the evil plottings devised by the Empress," Sheng Li advised Chuntao, who nodded her head. 

"Be respectful towards her. How can you talk this way to her?" Ying Lili scolded Sheng Li and went near Chuntao. 

"Miss, you must be terrified seeing all this. Come with me," Ying Lili told Chuntao, who lifted her eyes. 

"Where are you going?" Sheng Li asked. 

"It is the talk between two women. You don't need to know," Ying Lili proclaimed and again told Chuntao to go with her. The two left the Palace Grounds, leaving Sheng Li and Nianzu behind.
