Nan Yan once again tried to break free from the ribbon tightly tied around her wrist, but to no avail.

Her movement caused a corner of the thin quilt covering her body to slide down, revealing her thin shoulders. Her smooth skin was as white as jade, which reflected the candlelight beside the bed, adding a bit of strange temptation.

Except for her exposed shoulders, her whole body was actually naked. Her naked skin was completely pressed against the cold silk quilt. In fact, it didn't feel good. There was a feeling of being scratched by ice. She shrank and the quilt came back.

It slid down a few inches, and this time not only her shoulders, but also her rugged collarbone were exposed, and she didn't dare to move anymore.

Tonight is her first night in bed.

It has been more than three months since she entered the palace as a Cai nv. Nan Yan counted the days on her fingers. Although she did not stretch her neck like other Cai nvs and looked forward to the day when she would be honored by the emperor, she also knew that this day

It will always arrive.

She couldn't say she was looking forward to it, so she certainly wasn't qualified to resist. Instead, the sisters around her tried their best, and some even bribed the eunuchs and nuns in charge to get the chance to sleep with her.

However, after the third Cai Nv went to bed, the situation changed.

Because she——did not come back alive.

The two former maids were sent back after sleeping with injuries all over their bodies. One even fell into a coma for several days without waking up. The other was still awake and seemed to be suffering from dementia. She had a high fever and was wrapped in a quilt and talked nonsense every day.

, no one was allowed to get close to him, and within two days, he was taken away by the people from Yeting.

From then on, everyone was no longer so enthusiastic about the matter of sleeping in the palace. Instead, they avoided it like a snake or a scorpion. The emperor's palace was like a beast's bloody mouth. Whoever went in could not get out safely.

But today, grandma came over to send a message, asking Nan Yan to sleep with her tonight.

When everyone heard the news, they breathed a sigh of relief at first, thankful that they had escaped a disaster. Then, everyone looked at her with a little more pity, as if they were looking at a deceased person.

Just like dead people.

Although Nan Yan was frightened, she could not disobey the emperor's order. She could only let the palace maids give her a bath, and then brought her to this tall and gorgeous palace, where she was asked to take off the last layer of clothes and lie down on the bed with a thin cover.

Before she left, the two expressionless palace maids tied her wrists tightly with two ribbons on both sides of the bed. They said they were like this when they were in bed.

Nanyan is now like meat on the chopping board, just waiting to be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and look out the window. It was dark outside, no one was there, not even the sound of the wind. She could only see the shadows of the trees outside projected on the window paper, swaying, making her more and more nervous.

The more uneasy.

When will the emperor come tonight?

It would be better if he didn't come.

Maybe the emperor is busy tonight and doesn't have time to come here to congratulate her. In this case, maybe he can save a small life.

She kept reciting this silently in her heart, as if God heard her prayers. Time passed little by little. Although she couldn't see the hourglass in the corner of the room, she estimated that it was almost midnight, and the emperor still didn't

Come.

Is he really not coming?

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