"Lin Ran."
The empress called out softly. Seeing Lin Ran look up at her, she pointed at herself. "Help me take off the necklace. I don't have the strength now."
Lin Ran looked at the empress in confusion, not knowing what she wanted to do. She didn't call him "Lord Lin", which gave him a strange feeling.
Seeing that Lin Ran didn't move, the empress frowned slightly. "Quick, do it before I change my mind."
Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before reaching out to touch the empress's neck.
The empress had always worn the ruby necklace that had been passed down for generations next to her skin. This meant that if Lin Ran wanted to get the necklace, he had to lift her collar.
A large area of snow-white skin was exposed. Even under the dim candlelight, it was still so fair and attempting.
