Ning Lou continued her act in imitating an epileptic episode. She really deserved an acting award for deceiving Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan swallowed the lump in her throat. Her hands that were holding Ning Lou's began to shake. Sweats were visible on her small forehead. Ning Lou, on the other hand, never stops groaning and shaking. She was really keeping this farce until this girl free her!
Xiao Yan hurriedly took the handkerchief from Ning Lou's mouth. Ning Lou squirmed and spit a mouthful of blood. Seeing the crimson liquid on the ground, Xiao Yan almost fainted. She weakly moved aside and freed Ning Lou. She slumped on the ground and crawled to Ning Lou's side.
Ning Lou stood abruptly and darted to find the koi pond, leaving Xiao Yan with her dazed expression.
"Niang Niang!" Xiao Yan also hurriedly stood up and sprinted to where Ning Lou was heading. She got an ominous feeling seeing the direction Niang Niang went. Isn't that where the pond was located? With a terrible thought in her mind, she increased her speed.
Ning Lou patted her D-capsized chest. She was exhausted and was panting heavily. With the added weight of her breasts, she felt she ran a marathon. Forcing her legs, she finally made it to the pond.
Stepping on the wooden patio, a view of koi pond entered her sight, blooming pink and white lotuses spread throughout the pond producing a serene picture. Rock formations on the right and bamboo shoots and bushes to the left.
Ning Lou quickly unfastened her second robe, settling with her underclothes. The underclothes seemed to have similarities with martial artists of the modern era. She tore off a sleeve of her underclothes, tying her long hair in a messy bun. Then she rolled her long pants.
Grabbing the edge of the patio, she slowly submerged her body in the lukewarm water. As she was about to let go of the wood, she could feel her arm and collar being pulled. She turned around and saw three people, the two girls earlier and a middle-aged woman.
Her struggles were futile from their death grip.
"This girl! What kind of show Your Highness is putting now? Such nonsense! The Empress Dowager will get mad at Your Highness again!"
"Aiya! Your Highness is getting more brazen."
Ning Lou was pulled with the combined efforts of the three. Mama Tang didn't let go of her collar, even when scolding her.
"What did you do with your sleeves, Your Highness? What is wrong with Your Highness striping all over the place? Your Highness is an empress, the Mother of the country! How can Your Highness give such an example?"
"It's a good thing these two maids are the only ones here. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager will have another headache."
"Maid Qu, give me the coat."
"I didn't even wish to be here, old lady. I don't know who's the Empress dowager. Could you just let me go already! You've mistaken me for your empress."
Ning Lou suddenly felt her ear was pinched, the middle-aged woman held on it while scolding her again.
"Your Highness. How can Your Highness talk about the Empress Dowager like that? She was worried that Your Highness didn't show up during breakfast and sent me to look for Your Highness."
"Also, Your Highness forgot that Your Highness was the one who pestered the Empress Dowager to be the Empress. Otherwise, how can the Empress Dowager bear to see Your Highness so lonely at this place."
"Ouch. Could you let my ear go? I'm not a child." Ning Lou felt embarrassed at the moment seeing the two girls giggling in the corner. She glared at them, making them shut up.
"Maid Qu, where's the coat?"
Xiao Yan snatched the coat out of Xian Qu's hands and brought it over to Mama Tang. While handing it over, she whispered something in Mama Tang's ear, which made the middle-aged woman frowned.
"Empress, what is Your Highness doing in this pond when Your Highness hates swimming?"
"Ouch. Ouch. How could I answer properly if you keep pinching my ear." Ning Lou was already pissed beyond point. She was a veteran con artist. However, this old lady treated her like a child.
Mama Tang let go of her ear and draped the warm fur coat over her shoulders. Ning Lou grinned and attempted to dash to the pond. However, Mama Tang beat her to it and grabbed Ning Lou's bare arm.
"Old Lady, I never expected you have that much stamina in you." Ning Lou grabbed the middle-aged woman's hand and twisted it clockwise to unlock the grip. Mama Tang cried out in pain. Ning Lou smiled and ran again in the wooden patio. However, she completely forgot about the two girls. With the second time, she found herself kissing the ground again. Her head hit a rock and she blacked out.
