Two days later, at dawn, another group of beauties were sent to the palace. They were either shy or nervous, and they staggered through the long palace road. The palace in front of them was magnificent, but it could not hide its deep solemnity and indifference.

The hearts of the concubines were filled with longing and anxiety about the future, not knowing how fate would arrange their lives.

Without exception, the beauties in this show generally look plump.

No one expected that more than ninety people would enter the palace this time.

…

Deep inside the palace, Bai Nanyu sat on the dragon chair, looking at the beautiful ladies below with a sharp gaze. His eyes gently slid over their plump figures, but there was no ripple in his heart.

Eunuch Fu beside him carefully observed his expression and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, will there still be three tonight?"

The emperor's mouth curled up into a sneer, and his fingers tapped the armrests of the dragon throne, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing this, the eunuch's heart tightened and he dared not say anything more.

Suddenly, the emperor's eyes fixed on a young lady. She was wearing a pink palace dress, with a graceful figure and a hint of stubbornness and uneasiness on her face. The emperor smiled slightly and pointed at her, "Add her."

Eunuch Fu's voice echoed in the empty palace, "The few people just selected will stay, and the rest can go back."

The faces of the unselected ladies instantly showed various complex emotions: disappointment, relief, and relief...

They turned slowly and returned silently along the same path.

After about an hour, the atmosphere in the palace became more solemn. Bai Nanyu sat on the dragon throne, his eyes like knives, scanning the kneeling girls below. His voice was low and powerful, echoing in the empty hall, "You guys must keep your mouth shut. Anyone who dares to speak nonsense will be punished with the death of the entire clan."

Several concubines trembled , they bowed their heads and did not dare to raise their heads. Eunuch Fu stood aside, his expression serious, his eyes swept over the concubines one by one .

"Yes, I obey your command."

"Yes, I obey your order."

Several people said in unison.

went on for more than ten days .

…

On the other side, Shen Nianwan's palace was extremely lively.

"Sister, my sisters can't say anything about this matter. You have to persuade the emperor."

"Yes, Sister Wan ."

Since entering the palace, the emperor has only favored Shen Nianwan, and has never even stepped foot into the palace gates of other people, let alone compete for favors.

But now, the emperor calls new people to sleep with him every night, what can they do?

"Okay, let's get here today. I already know what you said, so please step back first." Shen Nianwan said.

"Concubine, please retire."

As Shen Nianshu walked on the way back to the palace, she felt mixed emotions in her heart.

"Pearl, how is Caidie doing lately?"

"Everything is business as usual, and things are done very quickly."

Shen Nianshu didn't speak and nodded.

Returning to the bedroom, he sat in front of the window and looked out the window with empty eyes. Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

"I still want to take revenge, what should I do?" Shen Nianshu murmured to herself, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the jade pendant in her hand.

It was late at night and the lights in the palace were dim. Shen Nianshu sat beside the bed, holding the jade pendant in her hand, her heart filled with turmoil. Suddenly, a gentle knock on the door broke the tranquility of the night.

"Mother, are you asleep?" A soft voice sounded outside the door, it was Cai Die.

Shen Nianshu came to her senses and responded softly, "Not yet, come in."

The door opened gently, and Cai Die walked in holding a warm lamp.

There was a trace of concern in Cai Die's eyes, "Mother, I discovered something today, and I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Shen Nianshu placed the jade pendant on the table and looked at Cai Die solemnly.

"Say it."

Cai Die looked around cautiously, and after confirming that no one was around, she said softly to Shen Nianshu, "My Lady, I have recently noticed that something is wrong with the new show girls who have entered the palace."

Shen Nianshu frowned slightly and signaled Cai Die to continue.

Cai Die came closer and lowered her voice, "I have no sense to discover today that those beautiful ladies who were summoned by the emperor to serve in his bed still maintained their perfect bodies after they came out."

A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Nianshu's eyes.

The two looked at each other,

Shen Nianshu knew that she had to find out the truth behind this.

Shen Nianshu's heartbeat accelerated, and she felt an inexplicable nervousness envelope her heart.

Cai Die's words were like thunder, exploding in her mind. She couldn't help but asked eagerly, "Are you sure? How is this possible?"

Cai Die nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "Mother, I'm sure. I know poisons and medicine. The pulse conditions of women after bedtime should change, but they are like virgins. What's wrong with this? I dare not tell you the reason, but there must be something fishy."

Shen Nianshu took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in her heart. She knew that this matter involved the deep secrets of the palace. Once exposed, the consequences would be disastrous. However, she also understood that if she did not find out the truth, she would not be able to rest at ease.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I know the importance of this matter and will never let a third person know about it," Cai Die said.

Shen Nianshu nodded, "Caidie, I want you to continue to keep an eye on this matter secretly and report it at any time."

Cai Die raised her head and looked at Shen Nianshu, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "Yes, Madam, I will definitely live up to my trust."

Shen Nianshu was puzzled.

She didn't want anything to happen to that man, at least not now, after all, the great revenge had not been avenged.

The moon was full tonight. Shen Nianshu raised her head and looked out the window, and couldn't help but think of the days when she was in the cold palace in her previous life.

The walls of the cold palace were cold and hard, and the moonlight shone through the narrow window, reflecting on her pale and haggard face. She had looked up at the bright moon countless times, looking forward to one day escaping from this endless darkness.

I can't sleep either, so I might as well go for a walk.

It was already the fourth watch, and there weren’t many people there.

Shen Nianshu walked out of the palace gently. The night was hazy, and the moonlight fell like water on the bluestone road of the palace.

She walked aimlessly, the chaos in her heart as deep as the night.

An indescribable scene was encountered by Shen Nianshu.

To go or not to go? Suddenly there was a voice, and Shen Nianshu was so frightened that she had to squat down behind her.

Shen Nianshu held her breath and tried not to make any sound. Her heartbeat echoed rapidly in her ears, as if she was about to burst out of her body. She cautiously stuck her head out, trying to see clearly what was ahead in the darkness.

Under the moonlight, she saw two figures. One person looked at this figure but didn’t know who it was. And the other...

Shen Nianshu's heart trembled suddenly. This woman looked so familiar. Isn't she Concubine Yun ?
