Nan Yan once again tried to break free from the ribbon tightly tied around her wrist, but it was still in vain.
With this movement of hers, a corner of the thin quilt covering her body slipped down, exposing her thin shoulders. Her smooth skin was as white as jade, reflecting the candlelight by the bed, adding a bit of strange temptation.
Except for the exposed shoulders, her whole body is actually naked. Her naked skin is completely pressed against the cold silk quilt. In fact, it doesn't feel good. There is a feeling of being scratched by ice. She flinches, and the quilt turns again It slid down a few inches, and this time not only her shoulders, but also her bony 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 mining girl. Nan Yan counted the days on her fingers. Although she was not like other picking girls who stretched her neck in anticipation of the day when the emperor would be lucky, she also knew that this day It will always come.
She couldn't say that she was looking forward to it, and naturally she had no right to resist, but the sisters around her tried their best, and some even bribed the eunuchs and nuns in order to win the chance to serve in bed.
However, the situation changed after the third maidservant went to bed.
Because she—didn't come back alive.
The two maids from before were sent back after going to bed with injuries all over their bodies. One of them was in a coma for several days and did not wake up. The other was still awake, also like dementia. , no one was allowed to come close, and within two days, he was taken away by Ye Ting's people.
From then on, everyone was no longer so eager to serve the bedroom, but avoided it like snakes and scorpions. The emperor's bedroom is like the bloody mouth of a wild beast. Whoever enters it will not be able to come out properly.
But today, Mammy came over to send a message that Nanyan should sleep with her tonight.
When everyone heard the news, they first breathed a sigh of relief, thanking themselves for having escaped a catastrophe, and then, everyone looked at her with a little more pity, as if looking at someone who had already escaped. Like the dead.
Although Nan Yan was afraid, she could not disobey the emperor's order, so she could only let the maids bathe herself, and then brought her to this tall and gorgeous bedroom, and asked her to take off the last layer of clothes, lie down on the bed and cover her with a thin cloth. Be, before leaving, two palace ladies with expressionless faces tied her wrists tightly with two ribbons on both sides of the bed, saying that it was like this for bed servants.
Nanyan is now like meat on a chopping board, just waiting to be slaughtered.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning her head to look out the window, it was pitch black outside, there was no one around, not even the sound of the wind, and she could only see the shadows of the trees outside projected on the window paper, shaking, making her more and more more uneasy.
When will the emperor come tonight
It would be nice if he didn't come.
Maybe the emperor is busy with affairs tonight, so he doesn't have time to come here to honor her. If so, maybe he can save his life.
She kept chanting like this in her heart, as if God had heard her prayer, time passed bit by bit, 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 again, maybe after the next few hours, she would be saved.
However, just as she was still thinking about it, there was a loud noise outside.
