Congratulations on opening the coffin

Afterwards, without further words, Shen Ruo could guess that his mother fell in love with King Yelang. She was originally a free woman, but for love, she voluntarily stayed in the harem of three thousand beauties.

Unfortunately, love finally lost to power.

"This country should have died a long time ago. It has used my mother's life to force it to continue for so many years. It should be enough. If Yelang doesn't lose, the country of Xiao will die. Among those who died tragically, there is a good chance that there are people I have never met. Grandparents, I can't let them have anything to do."

When Ye Zhao said these words, he was very sincere. After confirming that he was sincerely helping, Shen Ruo didn't say anything more.

Next, it's time to focus on the task.

There are two things to do in this mission. The first is naturally to destroy the magic weapon of the demon, so that he can no longer continue to cast spells to influence the battle situation.

As for the other one, Shen Ruo pursed her lower lip, looked at the magnificent palace in the distance, and felt slightly depressed.

"Then how do we enter the palace now?" Shen Ruo calmed down, raised the brim of her hat, and asked.

Ye Zhao walked to the notice board next to him, tore off a piece of paper, and shook it at Shen Ruo: "That's it."

She stepped forward, took a closer look, and found that it was a recruiting notice, and the recruits were still maids and guards.

Shen Ruo fell into a weird silence for a while, you Yelang Congress is too casual, are you really not worried about assassins taking the opportunity to infiltrate the palace?

Ye Zhao rolled up the imperial list, held it in his hand, and was about to call Shen Ruo to leave. Seeing her staring at the thing in his hand speechlessly, he guessed what she was thinking, and chuckled lightly, revealing a faint smile. Contempt: "You may not know that most of Yelang's royal family are lunatics. They value blood, and they don't care much about incest. Most of the emperor's heirs are crazy and cruel, and killing the guards and maids in the palace is even more common."

Shen Ruo frowned: "Could it be that there is no common people uprising to overthrow such a cruel and heartless regime?"

"Do you know how long the Yelang Kingdom has existed? One thousand and two hundred years, which is longer than the previous dynasties in the Central Plains. Even at the beginning, there were common people's uprisings, but after repeated suppressions, those bloody people were killed. At the end of the day, the only ones left are slaves who have been driven into the marrow of their bones by slavish thinking."

"Perhaps it is such an unnatural country that was punished by the gods and sent down a drought that has never happened in ten years. It wants to burn all the sins here under the scorching sun. It's a pity..."

Ye Zhao clenched his fists and didn't say anything, but his anger and hatred had already appeared in his eyes.

Suddenly, a hand was placed heavily on his shoulder: "Let us work together to end these evils."

He lowered his head and looked at that ordinary face. Some people are destined to be extraordinary. Even if they are covered with an ugly veil, they are still shining and dazzling.

He was absent-minded for a moment, and quickly nodded heavily: "Yes."

It was obviously a game that must be lost, but it seemed that as long as she was there, people couldn't help but believe that there was still hope for them, and they would definitely win.

Holding the recruitment list, they came to the gate of the palace. They didn't even say what they wanted, and the guards sent someone to lead them into the palace.

The royal palace of the Yelang Kingdom is naturally not as grand and luxurious as the Xiao Kingdom, but it is more refined, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, decorated with agate gemstones, it seems that the most luxurious and beautiful palace has been built with all the financial resources of the whole country.

Even the floor tiles are paved with white jade, which is warm and cool. Walking on them, the heat of the whole body dissipates.

Shen Ruo couldn't help flashing a guess, this couldn't be the priceless Leng Yu, right?How extravagant and wasteful is this Yelang Kingdom to use it to make floor tiles?
Just when she was full of shock, the guard leading the way had already stopped, pointing at Shen Ruo with one hand: "Go in, Aunt Lian will teach you how to do it."

At this time, they had arrived in front of a temple, on which was hung a huge plaque, engraved with the words Shangsifang in block letters, black and low in gold, with an indescribable majesty and coldness.

Before coming, Ye Zhao had already briefed her on the process. The place where the maids and guards were trained before they started their jobs was not in the same place. After they were separated, let her not panic. He would find an opportunity to come to her when the time came.

Therefore, Shen Ruo stepped up the stone steps in front of the palace calmly, and his figure gradually disappeared behind the heavy palace gate.

"Are you a court lady who came to answer the call? There are quite a lot of people here today, and this is the fifth one."

Not long after she walked into the hall, someone stopped her. She was a woman in pink in her early 20s, but her eyes were not at all as energetic as she should be at this age, but full of numbness. Looking at Shen Ruo, she was even more like Looking at a stone on the side of the road, but also like a cold corpse.

"Come with me, I'll take you to see Aunt Lian, she is the biggest female official in Shangsifang, if you don't want to suffer, you have to be obedient."

Shen Ruo just nodded silently, but his eyes kept paying attention to the surrounding environment.

The structure of this Shangsifang is a bit like a courtyard in Beiping, with a very flat open space in the middle, which should be the place where court ladies are trained in etiquette.

Seeing that she was silent, the woman in pink didn't say anything. There are so many people coming and going in Shangsifang, and if everyone deserves her attention, she will die of exhaustion.

She didn't say anything more, and directly led Shen Ruo into the east room, where someone was talking, as if they were teaching something.

"Now that the new king is enthroned, there are many urgent matters that need to be dealt with. You little bastards, you should be alert. Don't think that there are no empresses in the palace, so you have some thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"Do what you should do well, don't be blind, run to the king, if you let my aunt know, I will carefully peel your skin! Before you become empresses, you have to listen to me, you know? Auntie, I just kill one or two of you casually, no one will ask me."

It wasn't until the sound in the room stopped that the woman in pink carefully looked at the door. The people inside paused, and said coldly: "Recite all the materials that my aunt gave you just now, and memorize them by heart. The taboos are all on the top, and when we get out of Shangsifang, we will be assigned, don't say I didn't remind you, aunt."

After finishing speaking, the door creaked and was pushed open from the inside, and a young woman in her twenties came out. The clothes on her body were obviously much more refined than those of the woman in pink, but the color was a slightly old-fashioned and dull dark blue. , her hair was combed meticulously, and she looked a bit rigid and tricky.

The woman in pink bowed first and said: "Aunt Lian, this is a newcomer just now, I brought it here for you to see."

The aunt glanced at Shen Ruo sharply, and asked coldly, "What's your name? How old are you?"

"Xiao Yu, eighteen."

In Yelang country, the daughters of poor people do not have surnames.

Auntie didn't ask any more questions. An eighteen-year-old girl with an ordinary appearance was only responsible for housekeeping chores when she entered the palace, so it wasn't worth her trouble.

Just as she was about to let the woman in pink take her down, someone barged in.
