1. I am the princess sent by Beidi for marriage. The emperor needs my father to fight for him.
On the night I entered the palace, I was pouring the Henan wine into the flowerpot when a palace maid covered in blood came out of the window.
She put the dagger against my throat: "Don't say anything, or we will die together."
I showed my poison-quenching bone hairpin with my backhand: "What a coincidence, I also want to kill the king."
Later, she helped me give the emperor chronic poison, and I helped her find out the truth about the family's destruction in the harem.
When the emperor discovered that we were joining forces, he threw the knife at my feet: "Kill her, and Beidi will have ten years of peace."
2. The night before the Waking of Insects, it rained heavily
Shen Zhiwei's palace suddenly flooded, and tongues of fire licked the rotten beams, burning away the smell of medicine and blood accumulated over the years.
Emperor Zhao Chengsi was furious in the Qianyuan Palace, but the commander of the Yulin Guards had not yet arrived - his only son was tied up in the gambling house in the south of the city, with a secret letter pressed under his body.
I got up with my clothes on, opened the window, and heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the heavy rain.
