Splendid clothes, glittering jewelry, fine rouge and powder—these were all things they had once dreamed of. But now, placed before them, they felt no joy at all.
For these things were like death warrants, pushing them to the guillotine.
Bei Yutang sat quietly before the mirror, allowing the maids to dress her up.
From outside the room, faint sobs could be heard, coming from different directions and from different rooms.
Several maids looked at her with sympathy, taking in her stunning beauty. It was a pity that such a beauty would die in three months.
They all waited for her to cry. But even when they left, her expression remained calm, as if she didn’t care whether she entered the palace or not. This composure alone impressed the two maids.
After they left, Bei Yutang began to meditate and practice inner strength.
She is about to enter a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair. In a place like that, the more strength she has, the more chances of survival she has.
Bei Yutang had hoped to reach the second level of her inner strength before entering the palace.
Alas, her wish was dashed.
The next day, the Master escorted the four of them to the palace.
The three beauties in the carriage had slightly red eyes. Even with their heavily smeared rouge and powder, their haggard appearance was still noticeable.
Seeing Bei Yutang’s composure, one of them couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Bei Yutang smiled. “Now that we’re here, there’s no point in being afraid.”
“You have a good attitude. I understand your logic, but I’m still worried and afraid. The thought of being…” As she spoke, the woman sobbed softly.
The other two beauties, as if infected by her, followed suit.
The chief steward in charge of escorting the carriage heard the sobbing from within, lifted the curtain, and glared at them with a stern look.
“If anyone cries again, you will be torn into pieces by five horses!” The chief steward shouted sternly.
The three people, who had been sobbing just moments before, suddenly stopped in fear.
The carriage stopped outside the palace gate, and everyone disembarked. After getting off, they saw rows of carriages lined up in front and behind, and many beauties got off these carriages. Looking around, there were at least hundreds of people.
All the beauties, following the instructions of the head palace maid, entered the rooms one by one for a physical examination.
After confirming that they were all in good condition, they were allowed to enter the palace.
When Bei Yutang and the three beauties who came with her were waiting outside the door, suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in the courtyard.
With a ‘whoosh’, a figure flew out from the window. The woman was wearing a middle-aged dress, and there were spots of blood on her snow-white dress.
From within the room, a nanny shouted, “Capture her.”
The guards swiftly entered the courtyard and surrounded the woman.
The beauties waiting in the courtyard had never seen such a scene before, and they huddled together in fear.
The nanny in the room, clutching her wound, emerged and ordered the guards, “Capture this assassin alive.”
The beauty glared at everyone, sternly shouting, “You accomplices to the evil executioners! What’s the difference between you and that devil?”
The nanny, seeing her increasingly outrageous behaviour, urged, “Capture her quickly.”
The female assassin was quickly subdued by the guards. Her body was now covered in bloodstains, her charming face etched with unyielding stubbornness. She glared at everyone, especially the leading nanny.
