It was late at night and I finally returned to my room. My legs were still weak. I lit a candle and recalled everything just now. I was terrified.

"For this slave, parents and clans are of course a big deal, but the dispute over power is the truth. My parents died because of this dispute, but my ambition is still in this dispute. Regret is the most useless. I would like to use

I guarantee my own life and am willing to follow His Majesty through fire and water so that I can live up to my birth in this world."

"What's your punishment?"

"With long winds and waves, and ambitions for thousands of miles, Your Majesty is the emperor and role model for my servants."

"You are not an ordinary woman."

"..."

"Then let's see if you can really survive the wind and waves!"

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I have one thing for you. Biyue is a person with a similar status to you. I don't like her."

I secretly yelled, "I just want to live. Do I really want to..."

"Find a chance to let her leave quietly. Okay, I'm tired, you can go."

I closed my eyes and thought. Everything in the dormitory almost made me confused. At this time, my life was like a candle in the dark night. I could only survive by constantly taking out other things. I wanted to take

I have to show my talents to get the Queen to recognize me, even at the expense of Biyue, a girl who has the same problem as me.

I sat in the deepest part of the night, thinking over and over again. The Queen definitely did not ask me to use despicable means to deal with Biyue. She asked me to do this to test me. If I only showed blood and cruelty, I would not necessarily survive.

Go down, besides, this is not the path I want to take, I still want to explore Biyue first.

Early the next morning, it was as usual, Biyue was as calm as ever, but I "had a ghost in my heart". Today happened to be the day to go to court, and we were still waiting outside the palace.

"Biyue, why do you think the Queen chose us two?"

"What?"

"How long have you been here?"

"Well, it took longer than you to get here anyway."

She was not very interested in what I said.

"When did you become a maid?"

"What are you talking about today?" His answer became even colder.

"Aren't you just like me? You used to be the favored daughter of your family?"

She tilted her head and looked at me, "Why are you telling me all this? Among the maids chosen by Venus to be in the palace, especially those who serve His Majesty, which one does not have some wealth?"

I decided to be more bold, "But now I have nothing, and I don't know where I will be in the future. I..." I sobbed slightly.

She finally looked at me worriedly, "Are you in a bad mood today?"

"How can I feel better during this time? It's just that I saw it more clearly last night."

I feel like I'm a bit self-pitying right now.

"At least we are still living well now and are luckier than many people. I advise you to be more transparent!"

"Then, what if I don't live much longer? Sister Biyue, are we in the same boat?" Biyue quickly covered my mouth.

"Stop talking." She handed me a piece of paper, and I opened it secretly and read it. It said, "Go to my room tonight."

I was surprised. Could it be that she had prepared this note a long time ago? I put the note back in her hand and nodded to her. I don’t know what kind of paper and pen it was written on, and I didn’t dare to take it.

Although the time was not stated on the note, in the palace, there was only a short time between when we left the Queen's chambers and when the curfew hit.

I opened the door to Biyue's room. The structure of the room was similar to mine. She stood steadily beside the bed, looking straight at me.

I pursed my lips and said, "Why did you come to see me?"

"You don't look like you want to talk to me about your concerns? You don't need to ask me now, right?"

I took a few steps forward and said, "Sister Biyue, my name is Ye Wenyun. A few months ago, my father was convicted and I became a slave. Then I was brought into the palace by His Majesty. Just last night, His Majesty had a private conversation with me.

, I don’t think I can live for a few more days.” I burst into tears, this was the best scene I had ever performed since time travel.

"You sit down first."

"You were brought into the palace. You should know that the Queen's temper is unusual."

She actually called her the Queen. Could it be that he was really rude to the Queen?

"Then you won't kill us easily. If you cry every day like this, you might annoy her and you'll die faster."

"Sister Biyue, you are really..."

"My father once served under the Queen. A few months ago, he was ordered to pray to the Buddha, but in fact he was transferred away and died on the way."

"Then why did you enter the palace?"

"It was of my own free will. I entered the palace two years ago. My father arranged for me to be next to the Queen. He is in a high position and wanted me to serve the Queen personally and know the situation in the palace. But the Queen had stopped a year ago.

I trusted him, and from then on, the Queen's personal bodyguard became someone who commanded the military guard, instead of me who was originally planned by my father."

I thought for a while, "My sister's father actually has such connections."

Biyue's face was expressionless, "He is former Prime Minister Li Yu."

I covered my mouth in surprise, trying to hide myself. I had been working as an errand at the Princess Mansion for the past few months and had no idea who the current Prime Minister was.

"My sister's father was killed by Your Majesty."

"Of course." She sneered.

"Actually, this ending is doomed. For someone like my father, he will never let go of his bloodline orthodoxy."

"But my sister is not the daughter of the guilty minister. Prime Minister Li Yu has made great contributions, and I am afraid that your Majesty will not dare to punish him."

"What's the difference? Yun'er, I'm the one who won't live long. I asked you to come here tonight. I want you to be careful and leave the palace if you have the chance! You must make sure that the Queen cannot see you. I have no chance.

I wish you happiness and health for the rest of your life."

This, this is wrong, why is it like saying goodbye? Didn’t I come to find out?

"Someone is coming!" Biyue suddenly shouted. I was startled and it was too late.

There was a commotion in the palace late at night, and some guards and maids rushed in.

In full view of everyone, Biyue took out a packet of medicinal powder and swallowed it in one gulp. Everyone was shocked.

"My parents and family were all harmed by the emperor. I hate the emperor. Today this packet of medicinal powder cannot reach her mouth, so I will swallow it."

As she spoke, her limbs twitched, her face became ferocious, and she lost her breath for a moment.

The body had been pulled out. I came to my senses and ran out the door immediately, unable to stop retching.

Why? Why is this happening?

Many people in the palace stayed up all night, and a line has been drawn about this packet of medicinal powder and the found note, and no one related to this line was spared.

This is what the Queen told me. She said that I was very lucky. The test she just gave me showed its flaws the next day. This packet of medicinal powder just arrived in Biyue's hands tonight. The lurking person had already made preparations and planned to use it in the middle of the night.

I ended her life quietly, I think because I didn’t want to alert the people in the dark! The palace strictly prohibited the use of pen and paper by palace maids, eunuchs, and guards. I also asked the Queen about the origin of the note, and it was indeed the person who had secretly communicated with her before.

For her.

My heart is so blocked. It was not me who killed Biyue, but I still feel very sad. My heart is not as hard as for a good person to take poison and commit suicide in front of me and remain indifferent.

I also asked the Queen why I went to see Biyue tonight but I was fine? Maybe she wanted to give me the powder to poison me again. The Queen smiled and said yes, even if I am innocent, I have every reason.
