The orange sky gradually darkened and was replaced by dark blue.

Everywhere I looked was covered with a layer of dark grey gauze.

The mountains in the distance were pitch black, and the trees in the distance were only dark shadows. The slender branches were densely intertwined, imprinted in the deep blue sky.

"I want to leave the palace." Xu Yahan could no longer endure such a life. This deep palace was incompatible with her.

"If Your Majesty wants to leave the palace, you must get the permission of the Emperor or the Empress Dowager." Ju'er reminded cautiously in a low voice.

"Fuck!" Xu Yahan couldn't help but swear.

"What's the difference between being in the palace and being under house arrest? Even to go out, you need an imperial decree! An imperial decree means nothing!" Xu Yahan was furious and swept the items on the table to the ground.

At this moment, she was angry and extremely emotional.

Ju'er and other palace maids were terrified and stood by trembling in fear.

This lady was really hard to serve, with an extremely bad temper. She would either beat drums to make trouble in the middle of the night or break things to vent her anger.

"The Emperor has arrived!" As Eunuch Li's high and shrill voice sounded, all the palace maids knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor!"

However, only Xu Yahan still stood straight, without moving. After all, there were so many beauties in the harem, so it didn't matter if she was one more or one less.

She decided to ask the emperor for an explanation and request that he allow her to leave the palace.

When Xu Yahan saw who was coming, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of shock, and she was even a little dazed for a moment.

This... isn't this Young Master Huang from the Imperial Guards? Why is he here? Could it be that... he rebelled? And he even succeeded in ascending the throne? !

Just when Xu Yahan was in doubt, she heard the man chuckle and said, "Are you so excited to see me that you can't speak?"

It was not until then that Xu Yahan came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream - it turned out that the person in front of her was not some imperial guard, but the current emperor himself! Thinking back to the past, she suddenly realized that she had been kept in the dark.

She had a relationship with the emperor and now was taken into the palace. Everything seemed to be a natural progression.

However, this man deceived her from the very beginning. He clearly already had a wife, but he lied and said that he was not married.

It was because of this that she mistakenly trusted others and spent the night with him.

If I had known that he was the emperor, I would not have fallen so easily, let alone had such an intimate behavior with him.

But now that things have come to this, the die is cast and there is no point in regretting it.

Facing the emperor who held the power of life and death, Xu Yahan knew very well that she had no chance of competing with him.

However, she couldn't help but show off her grievances and unwillingness, and responded coldly: "I am indeed a little surprised that the former Imperial Guard Mr. Huang is actually the emperor."

"I am traveling incognito, so naturally I need an appropriate identity." The emperor said lightly, as if he took it all for granted.

Xu Yahan cursed the man in her heart, thinking: "Okay, so you are a big liar! What should I do with the three thousand concubines in my imaginary harem? Are they going to be lost in vain?"

Xu Yahan couldn't help but feel resentful when she thought that she might never be able to spend time with other handsome men again.

However, she also knew clearly that if she did not obey the emperor's will, her life might be in danger.

After all, as the emperor's woman, her every move is watched closely, and any carelessness could lead to her death.

But it was absolutely impossible for her to stay in the palace and live a boring life like other concubines.

So she mustered up her courage and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you know that I do not want to enter the palace. In this case, why don't we discuss it again and let me leave the palace? This will be better for everyone."

The emperor's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and replied, "No, I hope you can stay in the palace to accompany me."

Seeing this, Xu Yahan knew that this matter was hopeless, so she changed her mind and suggested: "How about you banish me to the cold palace?"

In this way, Xu Yahan would not have to observe the palace etiquette. After staying in the cold palace for too long, everyone might forget about her existence, and she might even be able to escape from the palace at that time.

When Ju'er heard this, the tea in her hand shook violently, and she accidentally broke the teapot. She knelt down in horror, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me! I didn't mean it, please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty." At this moment, Ju'er's face was full of fear and anxiety, and she was obviously frightened by Xu Yahan's words just now - her master actually took the initiative to ask to go to the cold palace to suffer, which was really beyond her expectation.

"How stupid! If you can't even do something as simple as pouring a cup of tea, what's the point of keeping you here? Someone, drag this maid out and chop off her hands!" Xiao Qingze roared with an angry face.

It turned out that when he heard Xu Yahan's request to go to the cold palace, he was already filled with anger.

At this moment, the unfortunate palace maid happened to run into the muzzle of the gun and became the target of his anger.

After all, as the ruler of a country, you can't just lose your temper with others, right? Wouldn't that make you a tyrant?

Therefore, the clumsy maid in front of him naturally became the best punching bag. The emperor thought to himself: "Humph! If I don't find someone to vent my anger on, I will never be able to relieve my hatred!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Ju'er was terrified and kowtowed desperately for mercy. She even scratched her forehead and bled profusely.

However, at this moment, Xu Yahan began to plead for Juer: "Your Majesty, please calm down and spare this little girl. She just accidentally spilled the tea, it's not a big deal."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingze calmed down a little, but still said with anger: "Humph! If it weren't for Concubine Xu, I would make you suffer today! Well, roll outside the palace and kneel down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy! Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!" Ju'er was so grateful that she burst into tears. She thought she could not save her hands, but she did not expect Concubine Xu to stand up and plead for her.

Only then did she realize that perhaps Concubine Xu was not as difficult to get along with as she seemed, and she might have misunderstood her before.
