Chapter 1:

Nan Yan tried to break the ribbon tightly tied to his wrist again, but it still 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 is 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 broken. Although 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. It is always there.
She couldn't expect it, and naturally she didn't have the right to resist. On the contrary, the sisters around her all tried their best, and some even relied on bribing the eunuchs and wives to fight for the chance to go to bed.
However, after the third waitress went to bed, the situation changed.
Because she-did not come back alive.
The two former waitresses were sent back after bedtime. They were all wounded. One was unconscious for a few days and the other was still awake, like dementia. 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, he was taken away by the Ye Ting people.
After that, everyone was no longer so eager to wait 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 mother 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, rejoicing that they had escaped a catastrophe. Then, everyone looked at her with a little more pity, as if they were looking at someone. Like the dead.
Although Nan Yan was frightened, she could not defy the emperor’s order, so she could only let the maids bathe herself, 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 court ladies also tightly tied her wrists 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 it.
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. The 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 he can recover a 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 house, she also estimated that it was almost time for the emperor. 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.
