1 Chapter 1

Nan Yan tried to break the ribbon tightly tied to her wrist , but it didn't work.

With her move, the thin cover on her body slipped down a corner, revealing her thin shoulders, her skin was as white as jade, reflecting the candlelight by the bed, adding a bit of temptation.

Except for the exposed shoulders, her whole body is not covered in strands. Her naked skin is completely ironed on the cold silk quilt. In fact, it does not feel good. There is a feeling of being scratched by the ice. She shrinks and the quilt again She slid down a few inches, and this time not only her shoulders, but also her jagged collarbone were exposed, and she didn't dare to move anymore.

Tonight is the first night she waits for bed.

It's been more than three months since she entered the palace as a picking girl. Nan Yan counted these days with her fingers .

unlike other picking girls, she craned her neck and looked forward to the day when she was lucky enough to be the emperor, but she also knew that this day.

She couldn't say that she was looking forward to it, and naturally she was not qualified to resist it. On the contrary, the sisters around her all tried their best, and some even relied on bribing the eunuchs and maid to fight for the chance to go to bed.

However, after the third women went to bed, the situation changed.

Because she-did not come back alive.

The two former women were sent back after bedtime. They were all wounded. One was even unconscious for a few days, and the other was still awake, like mentally ill, She had a high fever and talked nonsense every day, wrapped in a quilt. , No one was allowed to get close, and within two days, she was taken away by the Ye Ting people.

After that, everyone was no longer so eager to serve for the bed, but avoided like a snake and scorpion. The emperor's palace is like the mouth of a beast. Whoever enters, don't think about coming out.

But today, the Servant came over to send a message to Nan Yan to attend the bed tonight.

When everyone heard the news, they first breathed a sigh of relief. They were thankful that they had escaped a catastrophe. Then, everyone looked at her with more pity, as if they were looking at someone. Like a dead person.

Although Nan Yan was frightened, she could not defy the emperor's order, so she could only let the maids bathe her, and then bring them to this tall and gorgeous palace, let her take off the last layer of clothes and lie down on the bed with a thin cover. Before leaving, the two expressionless palace ladies also tied her wrists tightly with two ribbons on both sides of the bed, saying that it was the same for the attendants.

Nan Yan is now like meat on a chopping board, just waiting for someone to slaughter .

Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning her head and looking out the window. It was pitch black outside, there was no one, and there was no wind. Only the shadow of the tree outside was projected on the window paper, shaking, making her more and more disturbed.

When will the emperor come tonight?

It would be nice if he didn't come.

Maybe the emperor is busy tonight, and it is too late to come here. Fortunately, if this is the case, maybe she can save her little life.

She kept meditating like this in her heart. It seemed that God had also heard her prayers. Time passed by. Although she couldn't see the hourglass in the corner of the room, she also estimated that it was almost time for the emperor to come.

Is he really not coming?

Thinking of this, Nan Yan felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. Maybe after the next few hours, she would be saved.

However, just when she was still thinking like this, there was a loud noise outside.

Many people were running and shouting, immediately breaking the silence of the night.

Nan Yan frowned. She know, what the emperor hates most is that there are people making noise at night. Last time, a few eunuchs who were on duty at night spoke a little louder, they were dragged down by the emperor's orders fought forty stike. After that, no one dared to make a loud noise at night.

Why are so many people making noise now?

Nan Yan felt that something was wrong, especially those voices were getting closer and closer, as if they were outside. She even saw a few panicked figures running away, not knowing what happened, but after a while, she saw the dark night outside. There was a burst of red light.

Finally, amidst the noise, she heard someone yelling—

"The hall is under fire!"

The hall is under fire? The red light outside is a fire!

Nan Yan was frightened and stretched her neck to see, but her arms on both sides were sturdyly tied, and she couldn't move at all. On the contrary, the quilt on her body slipped a little, and a large white skin on her chest was exposed she was so scared that she didn't dare to move. If someone came in to see this scene at this time, she wouldn't be a human being!

The hall was flooded, so someone should hurry to put out the fire, but Nan Yan listened to the movement outside, not only did no one go to put out the fire, but all the people were running away, seeming to be greatly frightened.

In the end what happened?

The red light outside became more and more intense, and you could almost see the fire light coming in through the window paper, which brightened Nan Yan's eyes. The fire was raging, and soon there was the sound of the burnt-out beams collapsing, accompanied by With the roar, more and more screams sounded, Nan Yan faintly felt wrong. If only a large hall was burned, it would be impossible to make the people in the palace mess like this.

There must be something wrong!

Just when she was puzzled and extremely anxious, there was a cry outside: "The rebels have entered the city!"

Then, a scream cut through the sky.

The rebels entered the city? !

Nan Yan was really frightened this time. Although the rebels had been besieging the city for several months, all the grandservant in the palace and the old eunuchs in charge said that the walls of the capital are very high, except if you devoured it. Can't get in, is it even more impossible for the rebels to attack?

Now, what's going on?

At this moment, the voices of several palace ladies came from outside the door, begging again and again: "Forgiveness, forgiveness!"

But then they heard their screams, blood sprayed on the doors and windows, and Nan Yan widened in horror. Eyes, saw a tall figure walking outside the gate.

Yes-is it the emperor?

This person is very tall, the brow bones and the bridge of the nose are particularly prominent, the chin line is also very tough, the hair crown is tied high behind his head, only looking at a shadow, you can feel that he is a very handsome man.

However, Nan Yan's heart jumped suddenly.

She had met the emperor, and when she entered the palace, she had seen the emperor's figure from a distance on the tower. It was a thin, pale and weak young man, who was definitely not like this shadow.

Who is he?

Just as doubts arose in Nan Yan's heart, he heard a loud bang, the door of the bedroom was kicked open, and a strong wind blew the layers of curtains in the bedroom. A tall figure walked in from outside the door!
