Dali, the ninth year of Yuanhe, early autumn.

Kunning Palace.

The concubines seemed to be gathered together happily and chatting happily; but in fact, they were smiling but hiding daggers, with ulterior motives.

Among them, the beautiful woman sitting on the last chair was huddled in a poor posture.

Her cowardly and huddled appearance was incompatible with the bright and heavy makeup on her face.

If you think about it, her life has already entered the countdown, because...

Her surname is Nan and her given name is Yingzhi. She is a fragile engineering student who traveled through time from the 21st century.

Completely inconsistent with the image of a rigorous engineering student, she has a little-known hobby - reading online articles.

One day, the Persimmon website inexplicably pushed to her the most heart-wrenching ancient palace novel of the year, "Your Majesty, I offer incense every day. Will you come tonight?"

Out of curiosity, she clicked on it, but she never expected that this was the beginning of tragedy.

In the original text, there is a character named "Nan Yingzhi" with the same name and surname as her. If she is the protagonist, it would be fine, at least she would have more roles and a longer life.

But the problem is, this "Nan Yingzhi" is a palace fighting scum!

He provoked the imperial concubine, was beaten to death, and was killed. The whole process lasted no more than three chapters.

In short, start with a sacrifice to heaven!

Before she recovered from the shock, she felt panicky, her hands were shaking, and her eyes went dark. When she woke up, she had been transformed into a cannon fodder who was fair-skinned, beautiful, but stupid and always prone to causing trouble.

And the progress bar is still moving down slowly...

The Queen was young, but her face was so haggard that no amount of makeup could conceal it.

She frowned, as if she didn't want to play the sisterly love with everyone else: "Sisters, if you have nothing to do, please leave."

Nan Yingzhi's heart skipped a beat: It's exactly the same lines.

As expected, Lin Cairen, who was "bullied" by the former South American, suddenly stepped out and saluted to the queen: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

The queen continued to rub her temples, her voice full of fatigue: "You go ahead."

"I want to report the South American man for being arrogant and bullying the concubines," Lin Cairen pointed to Zhi Yingzhi, and every word was tearful. "Please deal with him according to the laws of the harem!"

"South American," the queen looked at Nan Yingzhi, "do you have anything to say?"

Knowing that the situation would develop like this, Nan Yingzhi did not show any panic.

The reason was very simple - firstly, the queen was kind-hearted and never wanted to meddle in other people's affairs, so she raised the matter high and then let it go lightly.

Secondly, the harem was not solely held by the queen, there was also a noble concubine named Shu who was favored by the emperor and also held power.

The original owner did not die in Kunning Palace. What really cost her life was the caning that Concubine Shu "bestowed" on her after the greetings were over.

Third, she has always believed in the spirit of hard work.

Fear cannot solve the problem, action is the truth.

While standing up, Nan Yingzhi quietly glanced towards the seat in front without making any noise.

Sure enough, I saw a beautiful woman sitting in a seat just below the queen. She was dressed gorgeously, with a look of disdain on her face. She was looking down, busy taking care of her nails.

Presumably, this person is Concubine Shu, the woman who will take her life.

The countdown to death seemed to be hanging before her eyes. Nan Yingzhi was a little breathless. She followed the original owner's words and really got through the Queen's test without any danger.

The queen stared at Nan Yingzhi's face in a daze, then smiled at herself as if she was thinking of something, but she didn't get angry in the end.

She just scolded Nan Yingzhi a few words and told her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. Then she supported her head with one hand and waved the other hand out: "I am tired, you can leave."

Lin Cairen was indignant and wanted to say something, but was stopped by a talented person behind him.

All the concubines, led by Consort Shu, bowed to the Empress at the same time, saying in unison: "I will take my leave."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Nan Yingzhi disregarded etiquette and impatiently picked up her robe and rushed out of the palace gate.

She thought that the original owner was punished by Concubine Shu because she had not received any serious punishment, and she was so proud that she showed off her power to Lin Cairen and blocked the way of other concubines.

Then if she did the opposite and sneaked back to the palace and was under house arrest, she should be able to escape, right?

Things don't always go as planned. Seeing that the Queen did nothing, Lin Cairen decided to take drastic measures. She knelt at the gate of Kunning Palace, blocking the way of the concubines and pulled at the skirt of Concubine Shu to protest her injustice.

"Your Highness, the Queen has been kind for a long time and has not let the South American get the punishment she deserves. I know that Your Highness is the best at distinguishing right from wrong, so I beg Your Highness to make the decision for me!"

Nan Yingzhi was dumbfounded. Was this Concubine Lin really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? She actually blatantly spoke ill of the Queen in front of Kunning Palace. In order to bring her down, she was really courting death!

It is clear that in the original novel, the Central Plains and South American people only made a few sarcastic remarks because they saw that Lin Cairen was favored by the emperor.

Aren't sour words an indispensable tactic in the harem? Why did it become an insult when it came to her?

Nan Yingzhi opened her mouth to refute, but Lin Cairen suddenly lifted up his sleeves and acted pitifully.

"My queen, the South American used the hairpin on her head to scratch my arm last night," Lin Cairen cried, "I am not afraid of the South American's hairpin, I am afraid that if the South American is not restrained, she will hurt you next time!"

Wait, this part doesn’t seem to be in the original novel…?

Nan Yingzhi scolded the author for not filling in the gaps and focusing only on writing the tragic love story of the emperor and empress, while almost glancing over the other palace fighting scenes.

Now it’s hard for her, a girl who has been transformed into cannon fodder Nan Yingzhi.

No matter whether the original owner did it or not, she could only deny it!

Seeing that this matter could not end well, Nan Yingzhi rushed to the other side of Concubine Shu's skirt and competed with Lin Cairen: "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

She slowly glanced towards Lin Cairen, then held her forehead in exaggerated pain, as if she was dizzy.

Even with rouge all over her face, it couldn't hide her haggard complexion.

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

Nan Yingzhi pretended to be frightened, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, your Majesty cannot stand the sight of blood, how could I do such a thing?"

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and stared at Nan Yingzhi's hairpins that were swinging all over the place, and she became suspicious.

If Nan Yingzhi had received etiquette instruction before entering the palace, she would never have shaken her headdress so rudely.

How could such an unruly person pass the draft? Could it be...

As if she had thought of something, Concubine Shu finally spoke and ordered Nan Yingzhi: "Raise your head."

Nan Yingzhi felt something was not good and secretly prayed that the original owner did not look too shocking, otherwise, with Concubine Shu's personality, she really would not be able to fool her!

Nan Yingzhi raised her head cautiously, her gaze moving from Concubine Shu's chin to Concubine Shu's eyes.

Then, Nan Yingzhi saw her two thin eyebrows suddenly twisted, and her eyes widened, as if she was very surprised.

Nan Yingzhi was confused. Could it be that she was too beautiful and scared Concubine Shu?

Concubine Shu was truly shocked. This South American had stunning facial features, yet she put on so much makeup. She must have been born with a dull complexion.

Or maybe, to cover up something...

Concubine Shu suddenly reached out and used her sharp nails to pick away the powder between Nan Yingzhi's eyebrows.

She didn't know what she saw, but she was so startled that she stepped back.

A vermilion mole between the eyebrows! How could it be?

I didn't think much of the eyebrows and eyes just now, but when combined with this mole, she really looks like that person.

No, this little beauty cannot be kept!

"The atmosphere in the palace is not festive enough this year," said Concubine Shu, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, "even the maple leaves are not red enough."

The maidservants beside her were afraid that their master would be displeased if they responded late, so they hurriedly echoed the concubine: "Madam, the maple leaves will look good only if they are dyed with the blood of the whip."

The corners of Nan Yingzhi's mouth twitched. The maple leaves are not red because it is not cold enough now.

Professionally speaking, maple leaves turn red because the temperature drops in autumn and the plant's photosynthesis weakens.

Chlorophyll decreases and anthocyanins increase.

At this time, the cell sap of the maple leaf is acidic, and anthocyanins turn red in an acidic environment.

Therefore, maple leaves turn red as autumn approaches.

In short, the colder the weather, the redder the maple leaves, and it has nothing to do with blood wool!

As the saying goes, “If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.” There was no point in saying more. Nan Yingzhi stretched her numb legs and feet and began to plan her escape route.

After experiencing her mother's untimely death, Nan Yingzhi cherishes life very much.

In her opinion, freedom is precious, but love is more precious. If it means to survive, both can be abandoned!

Nothing is more valuable than your own life.

As long as you are alive, there is hope; when you die, there is nothing!

Nan Yingzhi's mind was working rapidly, thinking of a way to survive.

The Queen didn't care about anything, Concubine Shu dominated the harem and wanted to get rid of herself.

The only person she can turn to is the famous scumbag in the book - the emperor who has affairs with other women everywhere.

But would the emperor come to the harem at this time? If I went to look for him, how would I get to the Yangxin Palace from here?

"Come here," the plot finally developed as it was, and Concubine Shu issued an ultimatum, "Give the South American a caning."
