CHAPTER 2:

A lot of people are running and shouting, immediately the serene atmosphere during the night was broken. Nan Yan wrinkled her brow as soon as she heard the commotion, knowing that the Emperor hated the most was people being noisy during the night.

The last time a few eunuchs on night duty were talking with loud voices. The Emperor commanded they be dragged away and beaten forty times with planks, and they nearly lost their lives. After that, no one dared to make a noise at night.

How was it possible that at this moment, so many people would dare to cause raucous?

Nan Yan sensed that something was not right, especially since the voices were getting more and closer, as if it was coming from right outside. She eventually saw several rus.h.i.+ng figures running over, but wondering what is happening. But shortly she looked outside again, the pitch black serene night revealed a burst of red light.

Finally, she heard a person shouting in a loud voice…

"The main hall has caught on fire!" and coming to a rest at her. The main hall has caught on fire!? That red light outside is already a fire!

Nan Yan was frightened. She stretched her neck to get a better look, however both her arms were firmly tied and she was unable to move them at all. Instead, the quilt along her body slipped off once again, extending the widely exposed large pale skin on her chest.

Frightened! she dared not to move. If someone comes in and looks at this scene. Just don't be a man!

The main hall was on fire. Someone should be going to extinguish the fire, yet Nan Yan listened for the movement outside not only no one was going forward to extinguish the fire, on the contrary people are scattering in all directions. It was as if they were terribly frightened of something.

 In the end, what was happening?

The red light outside is getting more and more intense. It is almost possible to see the flames through the window paper, causing Nan Yan's eyes to s.h.i.+ne. The large raging fire soon echoed and a rigorous sound of collapsed was heard in the room. Followed by a rush movement and increasingly screams began to sound.

Nan Yan faintly senses that something is amiss. If it was only the main hall that was burning, it would be impossible to invoke this type of chaos to break out among the people in the palace.

There must have been an accident!

Just then she became puzzled and very much anxious, at this time as a cry was heard outside: "A rebel army has entered the capital!"

Immediately afterwards, a horrible shriek of slashed intensifies the atmosphere.

 The rebel army entered the capital?!

Nan Yan was already scared. Although the rebel army had been besieging the city for several months. However, the Mamas in the palace and the old eunuchs in charge said that the walls of the capital city are so high that no one but the swallows can enter.

Is it possible for the rebel army to come and attack?

What is now going on?

At this time, there was a sound outside the door of several palace maids voices repeatedly pleaded: "spare this life, spare this life!"

However, immediately followed by a horrible shriek, blood sprayed all at once on the door and windows. Nan Yan's eyes widened in horror as she sees a tall figure walking towards the door

Is…is it the Emperor?

This man was very tall, with extremely prominent eyebrows and nose. The chin line also was very robust. A high crown style hair binding was located at the back of his head. Just by looking at his shadow you could feel that this man was extremely handsome.

However, Nan Yan's heart suddenly skipped.

She had met the Emperor already when she had entered the palace, she had seen the figure of the Emperor once, at a distance in the city gate tower. His figure was a thin and small, pale, and delicate young man. It is not like this shadowy figure that is both tall and handsome.

 Who is he?

As soon as Nan Yan's heart started to doubt, she heard a loud thump sound!

The palace door was kicked open and a burst of intense wind blew the palace door and layer upon layer of curtains floated and flew about. A tall figure from outside the door walked in.
