Chapter 2
In the early morning, the door of the palace was opened, and several maids and guards walked in, surrounding the entire main hall of Jingxin Garden.

The maids held trays in their hands, on which was a set of plain white palace clothes, and stood on both sides in the hall.

Chen Xiao drove away the darkness and illuminated everything in sight.

The leading palace man held the imperial decree in his hand, and raised his hand as soon as he entered.

Ye Yao was in a daze when he saw the maids walking over, dragging them to the side hall to change without saying a word.

Ye Yao didn't feel anything when the wedding dress was replaced by mourning clothes. After all, the old emperor died, and the whole country mourned, but why did he have an ominous premonition?

Not long after, seven girls came out, all dressed in filial piety, with different appearances and temperaments, and they looked unique.

The palace servants glanced at them indifferently, walked to the center of the hall, held up the imperial decree, and raised a drawn voice: "Everyone accepts the decree!"

As if it was a subconscious reaction, the girls hurried over to kneel and bow their heads, only Ye Yao was still watching in a daze.Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he walked over and knelt down like them.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: All the daughters of the family are talented, virtuous, loyal and virtuous. I am grateful for your deep love for the late emperor. I will add a third rank to allow her to follow the late emperor and accompany the late emperor forever... ..." The palace people began to read the imperial decree, and the entire Jingxin Garden was silent, but until the reading was over, it was still quiet and no one answered the decree.

"Aren't you going to receive the decree to thank you?" The palace man was a little impatient, frowning at the girls in front of him.

"Don't... I don't want to die..." The crying sounded again, one after another, and soon wept together and hugged together.

The palace man snorted coldly, and looked down at them: "The late emperor loved you little masters, so he let you serve with him. This is the blessing of several generations of cultivation, and your family will also prosper! If you resist the decree If you don’t comply, you will get involved, but your family members, you young masters should think about it clearly!”

Ye Yao raised her head, stared into the palace man's eyes, and asked word by word: "Does the emperor want us to be buried with you?" Although she could hear clearly, she still wanted to ask again.

The palace man looked at Ye Yao, was startled by her gaze immediately, collected his mind, and said: "In three days, follow the late emperor into the imperial mausoleum, and serve the late emperor forever."

"No... I won't go!" A girl stood up suddenly and rushed to the door, but was pushed in by the guards and broke her head.

"Sister Li!" Zhao Xinmin immediately ran over to help the girl up, full of worry and distress, "How are you? Why are you so stupid..."

The daughter of the Li family didn't feel any pain, only a look of fear and panic. She hugged Xin Min tightly, her body trembling: "Sister Zhao...I don't want to die..."

"I don't want to die either..." The girls gathered together, crying miserably, full of mourning.

"It's okay, we'll be fine..." Zhao Xinmin hugged everyone, tears had already wet her breasts, but she still tried her best to comfort others.

Ye Yao knelt beside him, watching them quietly.Maybe it's because she's not from this era, and she hasn't felt the sadness of being oppressed by the imperial power without any resistance. She even thinks, is it really that bad?

The palace servant's eyes fixed on Ye Yao's body, then walked to the door, and said to the guards outside: "Look at them, if something happens, you can't afford it!"

"Yes!" The guard leader replied.

The palace man nodded, and led a group of palace maids to leave, leaving behind a palace of lonely and helpless women with no hope in sight.

The door of the temple was closed, the night outside was cold and silent, and the cold wind blew in, as if filled with a factor of despair, which made people almost out of breath.

Ye Yao sat in the corner, hugged his knees, buried his head between his arms, his mind was chaotic and chaotic, and he didn't seem to have too strong fear.

She knew that she had to calm down. Since she came here, facing this kind of predicament, it was useless to be panic-stricken. All she could do was to calm down and think of a solution.

According to what I know in my mind, the country Ye Zhen Zhen is in is Tian Qin Kingdom, a dynasty that did not exist in history.And her identity is the concubine of the head of the Xiangguo's mansion, the youngest daughter of the prime minister Ye Shuyuan.

Ye Zhen Zhen's childhood was happy, her father loved her mother very much, he was afraid of taking her back home and being bullied by others, so she stayed alone in the outer house all the time.But her mother died when she was eight years old, and her father had to take her back to the house.

Originally with her father's protection, Ye Zhen Zhen lived a life of wealth in the prime minister's mansion, but she was often bullied in private.After her father passed away, her life became completely hopeless.

Although she has grandparents, because of her background, she is almost no different from a servant except that she can barely survive.

It wasn't until the quota for entering the palace was allocated to the Ye family that the aunt and grandmother remembered that there was such a concubine with a very low sense of existence like her.

A dispensable daughter enters the palace. If she is lucky, she can bring glory to the family. If her fate is bad, it doesn't matter if she dies in the palace.

Originally, the calculation was good, but unexpectedly, Ye Zhen Zhen committed suicide in the sedan chair.

As for the old emperor, not only did he fail to rejoice, but died all of a sudden, and the woman who entered the palace with her unfortunately became a victim.

Now that she has come to this world, since she has become Ye Zhenzhen, maybe it is her destiny. Of course she can't just die like this.

The rising sun at the beginning of the day represents hope and the future. When it shines on all things, it can't illuminate this cold palace full of silence.

Ye Zhen Zhen didn't know when she fell asleep, when she woke up, she was woken up by someone.

The door was pushed open, and four guards walked in, and carried away a young girl, who covered her whole body with a white cloth.

"What's going on?" Ye Zhen Zhen stood up to check, but was stopped by Zhao Xinmin, "Who is that? What happened?"

Zhao Xinmin's face was pale, her eyes were surrounded by blue shadows, bloodshot eyes, a little red and swollen, maybe she cried all night, her voice was slightly hoarse: "Sister Li couldn't think about it, she committed suicide last night..."

Ye Zhen Zhen's heart sank, she watched the guards go away, unable to recover for a long time.

The sky is clear, but people's hearts are shrouded in a lingering haze, revealing endless despair, forcing them to move towards death step by step.

"You can't just sit and wait." Ye Zhen Zhen said this suddenly, her voice was low, no one else could hear her, but Zhao Xinmin who was beside her heard it clearly.

"Sister Ye, what do you want to do?" Zhao Xinmin was startled by Ye Zhenzhen's eyes, and pulled her to the side, "We can't do anything, and maybe our family will be hurt."

"Then we can only wait for death? The system of burial should be abolished long ago! Besides, how innocent are we? We haven't even seen the shadow of the old emperor!" Ye Zhen Zhen stared at Zhao Xin Min with cold eyes and mocked, " Sister Zhao, you should be unpopular at home, right? You are also forced to enter the palace, right? "
