The Forbidden City

Bing Ran Palace,

Before the first light of dawn even flickers, Li Qiu can hear the sound of movement from the other side of the curtain

She has served the palace for many years and had seen many kinds of concubines, but this consort is a little different

Froht, any other concubine wouldn’t have the guts to even beg, and will only secretly cries at night in regretBut this consort actually bathed and quietly went to sleep last night

There isn’t a single sound froht

According to the rules of the palace, as long as her mistress didn’t call for her, she is not allowed to peer into the other side of the curtainIf she says she isn’t worried, she’d be lyingWhat if Her Ladyshi+p became muddleheaded and committed suicide?What will she say to the people above?

Even if the ehest ranked consort

When she hears the movement on the other side, her alarmed heart finally calms down

“Your Ladyshi+p, are you awake?” she gently asks

“Yes,” Xi Yan’s voice floats through the curtain, it didn’t sound anything out of the ordinary

Li Qiu gently clap her hands three ti outside i stuffs for their mistress to wash herself withHer eyes stop at the very last tray, the one carrying white clothes

This is froht

This will be the only color for her and the entire Bing Ran Palace for three yearsIf she orried about Xi Yan’s reaction to this last night, she no longer worries now

And she indeed did not make any remarkShe puts on the white clothes quietly

Li Qiu stares at Xi Yan from the sidelineHer sround, not a trace of color can be found on her

This consort is the most beautiful woman she had ever in the palace, other than the deceased ehtly differentDifferent in a way that she cannot tell

“Li Qiu, where is the highest place on the east here?” Xi Yan quietly asks, snapping Li Qiu out of her thoughts
