Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"...Not excessive."

Lan Yan gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay! Once the goods are in place, we will release the people."

Rest assured, both of you, we of Beixuan will take good care of your High Priestess Xuanling's daughter.

This statement has a double meaning.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Beixuan," Lan Yan and Xuan Feng said through gritted teeth.

The Northern Emperor is telling them not to even think about secretly rescuing the Chosen One.

Ying Yufu was surprised. She blinked and thought to herself, "Ying Hengzhi is quite valuable."

The two southern barbarian envoys were clearly distressed about the treasures, but they still agreed for Ying Hengzhi's sake.

really interesting.

The crown prince stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

Seeing that the two of them looked like they had discovered something interesting, Emperor Cangxuan cleared his throat and said, "What are you two still doing sitting here?"

"Your Highness, go and keep a close watch on Ying Hengzhi. Don't let the Southern Barbarians take her away; otherwise, all those treasures will be lost!"

Ying Yufu nodded repeatedly. "Your Majesty is right. Ying Hengzhi is extremely valuable."

"Father, I think we should hide the hostage... no, Ying Hengzhi, so that no one can find her."

How about we hide them inside the palace?

Cang Xuan gave him a cold look. "I forbid it. You'll have to figure it out yourselves."

The two were driven out by Emperor Cangxuan.

After leaving the Hall of Diligent Governance, the two exchanged a glance, and Ying Yufu asked, "Your Highness, where should we hide them?"

The crown prince squinted and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Ying Yufu and smiled.

"I've got a good idea!" the prince said confidently.

Ying Yufu looked at him with curiosity.

Then the Crown Prince said, "Mu Residence."

Ying Yufu's eyes widened immediately. "My house?"

The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Ying Hengzhi used to bully you all the time, so now's your chance to get back at her!"

How about we have her be your maid?

Ying Yufu's eyes widened. "Although she used to pretend to be weak and bully and scheme against me, having her as my maid..."

Ying Yufu paused for a moment, then said, "It still feels very satisfying."

The two exchanged a glance and smiled, their eyes narrowing.

……

In the Eastern Palace's private prison, Ying Hengzhi was blindfolded and led out.

"Where are you taking me?"

Ying Hengzhi's tone revealed a hint of panic.

Things got out of control.

Ying Hengzhi was stuffed into the carriage.

The carriage departed from the East Palace.

"Mythical Beast, didn't you say I'd be out of the Eastern Palace prison soon? Is this how I'm going to get out?"

Ying Hengzhi spoke urgently.

System 008 said: [Host, what's the rush? This might be an opportunity to leave.]

Ying Hengzhi was comforted.

She calmed herself down and carefully analyzed the situation before her.

But her eagerness led her to a complete breakdown after she got off the carriage and removed the black cloth.

She saw the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu looking at her with smiles.

Then, she saw Ying Yufu take out several iron chains and lock her hands and feet!

"Ying Yufu, what do you want to do to me?"

Ying Hengzhi looked utterly astonished.

"hey-hey."

Ying Yufu's smile was so grotesque that Ying Hengzhi felt her scalp tingle and her face filled with terror.

"Welcome, my little slave. From today onwards, you are my maid!"

Ying Hengzhi could hardly believe her ears.

What is Ying Yufu saying?

She wants me to be her maid?

No, she wouldn't, she'd rather die than!

Then, when Ying Yufu took out the small leather whip, Ying Hengzhi's face twitched, and she said, "A maid is fine, let me go, I'll be your maid!"

Ying Yufu praised, "You're so obedient. If you serve me well, I might let you go."

Ying Hengzhi looked at her suspiciously.

Is Ying Yufu really that kind-hearted?

The next day, Ying Hengzhi dressed as a maid and appeared before Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu looked at her with satisfaction, and was about to say a few words of praise when the gatekeeper came in to report that the Grand Preceptor of Xilin had come to visit.

Ying Yufu narrowed her eyes immediately. They arrived so quickly?

It seems the burlap sack was too light.
