The Cold Palace, oh, the Cold Palace!
In that place, if you had already been granted a concubine rank, or were one of the other women of the harem, there might still be a chance to survive. But what of Beauty Wan? She was merely a palace maid by the Emperor's side.
They called her Wan'er, 'Beauty,' but in truth, she was just a palace maid who could warm the Emperor's bed, that's all.
Such a person being thrown into the Cold Palace, with no power or influence on the outside, what good could come of it?
She watched, eyes wide open, as the woman was carried off from before her, utterly senseless, and she swallowed hard once again.
A while later, just as she was blankly watching Beauty Wan being dragged away by palace maids, she felt herself lighten, and in the next moment, the palace maids were lifted up by the Emperor, who directly tossed them onto the large bed where Beauty Wan had just been lying.
