In the spring of the twelfth year of Yonghe's reign, the begonia flowers in the Prime Minister's Mansion were in full bloom.
Lin Ruoxi knelt in front of the ancestral hall, listening to her father's final admonishment: "When you enter the palace today, you must remember that you are not only Lin Ruoxi, but also the daughter of the Lin family. You will be prosperous and you will suffer."
Her mother secretly gave her a jade pendant: "Xi'er, if it's too difficult... Just look at it."
As the sedan set off, she heard the familiar sound of horse hooves outside the wall. The young general who promised to take her to the ends of the earth could only see her off for the last time through the red wall.
"Ruoxi, when I have achieved great success, I will ask the emperor to marry you!" The vows of the past are still in my ears, but now they are strangers in the world.
The palace doors opened one after another, like the entrance of a giant beast devouring everything. She held the jade pendant in her sleeve tightly, with a small "Lu" character engraved on it.
"The daughter of Lin from the Prime Minister's Palace has arrived——" the eunuch's sharp communication voice sounded.
She slowly raised her head and saw the endless vermilion palace walls, which were dazzlingly red under the spring sunshine, like freshly solidified blood.
This step is a step into the abyss, and it will be difficult to turn back for eternity.
