Chapter 3239: It Depends on One’s Comprehension Ability

“Comprehending an ordinance is a very difficult process. It can only come slowly—it depends on one’s comprehension ability,” Mei Ziqing reached out to pat Ning Shu’s shoulder and found that her hand sank into Ning Shu’s shoulder.

Mei Ziqing was speechless for a second. She calmly withdrew her hand and said, “Honestly, with your soul this weak, don’t you struggle doing tasks?”

Ning Shu: …

“It’s alright. One of the tasks was too difficult, so I ended up having to risk my soul. I didn’t have any other choice,” Ning Shu said, spreading her hands.

“Are you ready to do the task now?”

“Yes.”

Mei Ziqing disappeared first. Ning Shu also told 2333 she wanted to head back.

Ning Shu hated the feeling of being kneaded back and forth—mostly because her soul was weak, so the sensation was stronger. Every transfer felt like motion sickness.

Ning Shu: I feel so empty. No, I feel so weak.

Ning Shu flopped onto the sofa and heard the “ding dong” of the chat system. She opened it to see who messaged her.

The chat system was a bad influence. With this thing, she couldn’t resist the urge to chat and flirt.

It was a message from Mei Ziqing. She said she had already entered the plane and told Ning Shu to get ready.

Ning Shu replied with a “be careful.”

She needed to chill a bit. Before every task, she had to slack off for a while to relax.

Ning Shu opened the screen to see what Su Zhuru, the entrustor, had chosen.

Did she choose not to enter the palace, or to enter?

Ning Shu looked at the screen. Su Zhuru was wearing palace attire, sitting in the palace in full formal dress.

There were many elegant and beautiful women in the palace—all concubines.

Su Zhuru’s position was in the middle—not a high rank.

The empress sat at the top, chattering endlessly about palace rules.

She talked about reducing palace expenses, about the severe drought in Hanyang…

But most concubines, especially the high-ranking ones at the front, had indifferent expressions. Clearly, they didn’t take the empress seriously.

Indeed, the empress’s family background wasn’t strong enough for the empress position.

Without a powerful maternal family, no one in the harem could back her up.

So she had no authority in front of the concubines. No one took her seriously.

The empress dug her nails into her palm and dismissed the concubines.

They rose, saluted, and left the empress’s palace in small groups.

Ning Shu wasn’t surprised Su Zhuru chose to enter the palace—she had no other path.

Trying to avoid the selection by harming her body—would the outcome really be better than entering the palace?

Life never offered perfect choices.

At least in the palace, there would be fine clothes, people to wait upon you, and luxury. Of course, you’d have to give up some things, but compared to the lives of commoners who lived at the mercy of nature, their lives were far better.

To want freedom, wealth, power, and love—wanting everything? How could the world possibly be that nice?

You must give something up to gain something else!

Ning Shu believed Su Zhuru could survive the harem. If she could survive the brothel, she could survive here too.

She at least would not longer be looked down on, would not longer be defiled by various men, and would hold a noble status in the harem.

Ning Shu closed the video. Hopefully Su Zhuru would live a peaceful life and survive the struggles in the harem.

Ning Shu pulled a book from the bookshelf and began reading.
