The Palace Is Flawed

Three years after entering the palace, Shen Yunning lived in Tinglan Palace next to Leng Palace. The fish sent from the imperial dining room was mushy, and the charcoal sent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was damp. Chunyuan said, "Empress, let's go and beg the Queen." Shen Yunning didn't say anything, he just pushed aside the battered fish skin, picked up the white and tender fish meat underneath, and finished eating slowly. She was very quiet while eating. It's very quiet when I practice calligraphy. It was also very quiet when I stood at the corner of the long alley and watched the guards change defenses. No one noticed her. Except for the young guard named Gu Yan. The first time he saw her was in the dusk of the long alley. She knelt down, wiped the blood from his forehead with a handkerchief, and asked his name. He later recalled that evening countless times and felt that it was the best gift that fate had given him. Little did he know, she just needed a knife.
