Snow danced in the sky, and it was dyed red with blood. The sound of the snow was accompanied by the sound of the wind and the sound of the rain. The forgotten palace became even colder as the cold wind blew without restraint …

"Miss, Miss." In the empty courtyard, one could still hear the faint sound of weeping. He saw a maid being carried by several maids. The maid's eyes turned red from crying.

On the snowy ground lay a woman. The woman's face was very striking. Thin eyebrows, fine nose, cherry lips, skin like cream, hair like ink. It was a pity that the pair of lively eyes could not be seen from the depths of his eye sockets. The corner of his eyes dripped with fresh red blood. It was obvious that someone had gouged out his eyeballs.

"Bury her, don't dirty my eyes." A well-dressed woman ordered. Her voice was bone-chilling, and her eyes were full of malice.

"Your servant commands." The maidservants accepted the order in unison.

The maidservants used tools to bury the woman in the snow. No one said a word. In this palace where the strong preyed on the weak, no one dared to speak. One had to know that disaster came from the mouth. A noble person who was buried alive was a bloody example.

A group of guards walked in through the door. The leader of the guards looked around. He only noticed that the well-dressed woman was bleeding. He ran forward in panic and said, "Your servant was late to protect the imperial concubine, causing the imperial concubine to be frightened." No one paid attention to the maidservants' shouts. No one inquired about the blood on the ground.

"Commander Zhang, you came at the right time." Her master, the Qing, did not repent in the cold palace. "I was just rude to her a moment ago, but I've already put her on the spot." The imperial concubine pointed at the maidservants being held up by the guards, then moved closer to the commander, "You know what to do!" "Commander Zhang." With that, the Imperial Concubine led her people away.

"Miss, 555." The maidservant knelt on the snow. "Tears fell down uncontrollably …"

"Miss!" The sound of crying was slowly drowned by the sound of the rain.

"Keep it down here. If the higher-ups ask, they can tell us where the nobleman is. " The leader of the guards ordered the guards below.

"Yes sir!" The guards accepted the order and began to clean the courtyard.

The sound of wind, rain, and weeping. Just like that, the cold palace returned to peace and quiet …

That day, the matter of the Cold Sun Palace was suppressed by Imperial Concubine Lin and Commander Zhang. No one dared to leak a single word. Unfortunately, the news still reached the empress's ears. The empress's eyes and ears were numerous in the harem, so what could possibly escape her notice? The empress has long heard of the misdeeds of the imperial concubine. She had actually wanted to get rid of Imperial Concubine Lin a long time ago. Unfortunately, the Emperor was very fond of Imperial Concubine Lin. If he acted rashly, it would only anger her.

The Queen looked at the pale face reflected in the bronze mirror and frowned. Back in the day, he also had the appearance of a great beauty. In just a few short decades, he had turned into such a ghastly appearance. Sigh! Time does not disturb!

"Esteemed Empress, is there anything on your mind?" The palace maid who was dressing the empress couldn't help but ask when she saw the empress frown deeply.

"Yan'Er, how long have you been following your benefactor?" The empress raised her eyes to look at the palace maid. This palace maid was the servant girl that served Senior Servant Qing. Senior Concubine Lin had wanted to silence him when he was killed. Luckily, the empress had saved him and kept him by her side.

"In reply to Niangniang, this servant will follow Honorable Master Qing when she's young. Honorable Master Qing will treat this servant as a sister." I hope that the Empress can uphold justice for this servant and avenge my elder sister. " The palace maid plopped to her knees.

"Leng Qingyan, do you know your sin?" The empress was furious. The empress was very smart, she had sent people to investigate her background when she saved the palace maid. It turned out that the palace maid's real name was Leng Qingyan. She was the younger sister of a noble that accompanied her sister into the palace because she couldn't bear to see her sister into the depths of the palace.

"Esteemed Empress, please forgive me, please forgive me." Leng Qingyan was flustered and kept kowtowing to the empress.

"Get up!" I'll give you a chance to make a meritorious contribution. Do you want it? " The Queen stroked the hair that had fallen on her forehead. The empress looked at Leng Yanyan's face in confusion. She had heard her spy report that Leng Yanan was one of the most beautiful women in Jiangnan, so why was her life so ordinary?

Leng Qingyan stood up and lowered her head, not daring to look at the empress.

"There's one thing I don't understand. I heard that you have a peerless beauty, so why is it that no matter how I look at you, you look so ordinary and beautiful?" Her phoenix eyes sized up the girl in front of her. Why does it look so ordinary!

To be honest, this little girl was wearing a human skin mask. 'This little girl's appearance is too eye-catching. I'm afraid of causing trouble for my elder sister, so I changed my appearance! 'Leng Qingyan said respectfully. She tore off the mask on her face, revealing her peerless beauty.

She had fair skin, cold lips, and a pair of spirited eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

"Very good." The empress's phoenix eyes narrowed. The plan in his mind could finally be implemented. This Leng Qingyan's appearance was countless times better than Imperial Concubine Lin's. It looked like she was going to train Leng Yanyan to be of use to him.

"Do you want to avenge your sister?"

"Yes!"

"If you want to avenge your sister, you must be favored by her even more than Imperial Concubine Lin. Are you willing to serve the Emperor?"

"I am willing!"

How could Leng Qingyan not know what the empress was trying to say? The Empress wanted to offer her to the Emperor.

It doesn't matter as long as I can avenge my sister's death.

A room full of nobles and ministers was filled with a beautiful dance. The emperor was sitting high up in the hall, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. His side greeting should have been from the empress, but the empress purposefully arranged for the most beloved Imperial Concubine Lin to sit by the emperor's side. It was clear that the empress wanted Imperial Concubine Lin to become a imperial concubine of the imperial harem with sharp eyes.

Although Imperial Concubine Lin had a pretty face, she didn't have a good head. She only believed that the empress could not compete with her. He didn't think too much about it.

"Your majesty, chenqie will toast you." Imperial Concubine Lin didn't notice the other imperial concubines looking at her in any way. She only smiled as she toasted to the emperor.

The emperor smiled as he accepted the wine and downed it in one gulp. He was very fond of this imperial concubine!

"Yes." The Emperor said.

The sound of silk bamboo and beautiful music trickled down the hall. A woman with a veil over her face slowly walked into the hall. She danced gracefully, as though she was in a dream or fantasy. Everyone present could see that he was lost in thought.

The emperor watched the dancers dance with infatuation. This dance is so beautiful, a woman who can dance so well must also be a beauty.

While the Emperor was deep in thought, the music unconsciously stopped. Behind the dancing girl's veil, a hint of coldness flashed across her face. The dance also gradually stopped.

"This humble girl pays her respects to the Emperor. The Emperor shall live for tens of thousands of years, long live and long live." The female dancer knelt in front of the palace.

"Get up and speak."

"Thank you, your majesty." The dancing girl slowly stood up. For some reason, the veil covering her face suddenly fell to the ground, revealing her alluring appearance. The woman lowered her head.

All of those present were people who had seen a lot, and they were used to seeing beautiful women. Today, he had to look at the dancing girls and marvel at their beauty. Having lived for most of his life, he had never seen such an absolute beauty.

"Raise your head." The Emperor was delighted, he ordered.

The dancing girl slowly raised her head and looked at the emperor with her spirited eyes. When the emperor saw this, his heart skipped a beat.

"Your majesty, your majesty." Imperial Concubine Lin couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw the emperor's infatuated gaze on that dancing woman. No matter how stupid she was, she could see that the emperor was drooling over that dancing woman. Therefore, she forcefully shook the emperor's wrist, hoping that the emperor wouldn't be captivated by the dancers.

"How dare you!"

The emperor looked at Imperial Concubine Lin with displeasure. This Imperial Concubine was too insensible. How could she be so impudent on this occasion? The emperor flung off Imperial Concubine Lin's hand without even looking at her.

The Imperial Concubine shot a glare at the dancers before gulping down the wine in her hand in frustration.

"Qingyan, what are you standing there for?" Still not going down. " The queen suddenly shouted to the dancing girl.

"I bid farewell to the dancers. After hearing the empress's words, I bid farewell to the dancers." Before he left, he didn't forget to smile at the emperor. That smile caused the emperor to lose his soul.
