Quick Transmigration: The Villain Boss is a Bit Cute - Chapter 140

The maid’s hand continuously slapped against the door.

Qiu Yun, who was sleeping in a room a few chambers away, was awakened by the noise.

She hurriedly put on her clothes and rushed out to see what was happening.

The maid, sharp-eyed, spotted Qiu Yun emerging from the side and immediately became angry, “Where is your mistress? Why hasn’t she come out to greet our lady?”

“Your servant pays respects to Lady Tao,” Qiu Yun quickly knelt down.

Before the maid could say anything, an impatient roar came from inside the room, “Who is it? Which idiot is disturbing my sleep? Get lost!”

Hearing this, Qiu Yun was startled and quickly pleaded for mercy, “Lady Tao, please spare us. My mistress is still half-asleep. Please do not hold it against her.”

“Who do you think you are?” Lady Tao didn’t even glance at Qiu Yun.

“Someone, slap her for me.”

The maid who had been knocking on the door immediately stepped forward, but just as she raised her hand, a loud crash was heard from behind.

The already shaky door was kicked open from the inside, flying outward and landing at Lady Tao’s feet.

Startled, she stumbled back several steps, causing the group behind her to topple over like dominoes.

“Ouch!” Exclamations of pain filled the air.

“Lady!” The maid quickly ran over to help.

Su Hua, dressed in a thin robe, stood at the doorway, visibly annoyed.

“Which dog has been barking non-stop at my door?”

Qiu Yun, seeing the situation, turned pale and quickly stood up, running to Su Hua’s side and whispering, “Lady, this is Lady Tao, currently the most favored by the Emperor.”

“Oh, so it’s the Tao dog.”

Qiu Yun was shocked.

“Lady!”

Su Hua glanced at Lady Tao, who had now stood up.

She wore her hair in a round bun, slightly askew, with a ruby hairpin that glistened like blood, clearly of the finest quality.

Her fair face was lightly powdered, with a rosy hue.

She was dressed in a moon-blue feathered robe with a matching fur cloak and peacock-embroidered soft-soled shoes.

Two maids supported her, helping her steady herself.

Lady Tao pointed at Su Hua and angrily shouted, “You b*tch! Someone, slap her for me!”

Two nannies immediately rushed towards Su Hua, but as soon as they reached out, Su Hua grabbed their hands, yanked them forward, causing one to fall flat on her face.

Su Hua then sat down and kicked the other nanny down the steps, who let out a pig-like squeal.

“You… you…” Lady Tao pointed at Su Hua, speechless.

Su Hua sat on the matron, smiling sweetly. “What? Can dogs stutter too?”

“Boom!”

Lady Tao was furious.

Regardless of why Su Hua had changed so much, she immediately ordered, “Seize her! Seize her!”

However, half an hour later, Lady Tao looked at her disheveled servants and unconsciously took a step back.

She turned to run, but found her body frozen in place.

Lady Tao’s eyes widened in terror as she looked at Su Hua, who was still smiling as if she had seen a ghost.

She wanted to scream, but no sound came out.

Su Hua leisurely walked up to her, gently grabbing her chin.

“I was going to let you live a bit longer, but you came to me yourself.”

Her clear, pleasant voice reached Lady Tao’s ears, but the words sent chills down her spine.

Was Su Hua going to kill her?

As if reading her thoughts, Su Hua kindly answered, “I won’t kill you.”

Su Hua took out a pill and forced it into Lady Tao’s mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Lady Tao bent over coughing, realizing she could move again, she asked in fear, “What… what did you give me?”

“Heh. Poison, of course.”

Su Hua watched Lady Tao’s widened eyes and smiled.

“Don’t think about going to any imperial physicians; it’s useless. Only I have the antidote.”

With that, Su Hua took out a small bottle.

“Here, this is a six-month supply. Take one when the symptoms appear each month.”

Lady Tao quickly grabbed the bottle and anxiously asked, “What about after six months?”

“I’ll give it to you then.”

Su Hua smiled sweetly and turned back into her room.

“You broke my door; remember to send someone to fix it. Now, get out!”

Under Qiu Yun’s stunned gaze, Lady Tao, ignoring her servants, ran out clutching the bottle.

The eunuchs and maids followed, scrambling out in disarray.

“Lady.”

Qiu Yun quickly ran into the room, only to find the door tightly shut.

Not daring to disturb, she could only worry silently.

Not long after, eunuchs arrived to fix the door and even repaired some old windows.

They also brought some silver charcoal and food, though not much, as Su Hua was still a resident of the cold palace, and they couldn’t be too obvious.

Until Lady Tao was sure of her fate, she had to obey Su Hua.

Lady Tao returned three days later.

In those three days, she had all the imperial physicians examine her and even sought famous doctors from the martial world, but none could detect any poison.

She began to think she might not be poisoned, but she kept the antidote safe.

However, Lady Tao arrived to find the cold palace empty.

Su Hua’s room was deserted, and even her maid and the guards were gone.

Lady Tao immediately sent people to search, but naturally, they found nothing.

She then remembered that her visit was due to an issue with the guards’ money.

She suddenly felt she had stumbled upon a shocking truth.

Could Su Hua have eloped with a guard?

Lady Tao wanted to report this to the Emperor but feared Su Hua would find out.

If she really was poisoned and Su Hua refused to give her the antidote, what would she do?

So, Lady Tao subtly guided others to inform the Emperor.

“Bang!”

The table in front of Emperor Song Qimo was overturned.

The servants knelt on the ground.

“What are the imperial guards doing? They can’t even keep track of one person!”

The imperial guard commander bowed his head in shame.

“Your servant has failed. Please punish me.”

“Take him away and give him fifty lashes.”

Emperor Song Qimo’s face darkened.

“Issue a warrant for Qi’s arrest! Secure all city gates, and find that maid and guard!”

“Your servant obeys.”

After the commander left, Emperor Song Qimo dismissed the servants and spoke to the empty room, “Search for Qi at all costs. I want to see her alive or dead.”

Someone seemed to leave from the shadows.

Emperor Song Qimo’s eyes flashed with determination.

Among all the women in the palace, she was the first he had wanted to touch, yet she had refused to the death.

As the supreme ruler, he had his pride and would not force a woman.

Thus, he had sent her to the cold palace.

But never had he expected that within a month, she would elope with a guard!

How could Emperor Song Qimo tolerate wearing a green hat?
