When Yanyu woke up in the early morning, he couldn't remember how long he had been chatting with Meng Ling last night before falling asleep, it seemed that the two of them closed their eyes and didn't talk after chatting, obviously they were frightened last night and fell into the water again, and when they lay down, they were exhausted, so they fell asleep quickly.

She sat up and glanced at the entire cave, most of the women were gone, and the ones left behind, about one count, exactly twenty, and suddenly, she reacted, these twenty women should be ready to enter the palace to participate in the palace maid selection.

At this moment, Meng Ling also sat up in a daze, half-squinted at Yanyu, and then looked around, and when she found that there were only twenty of them left, she opened her eyes and looked at Yanyu in surprise, although she didn't speak, Yanyu also knew that she wanted to ask, where did the other women go.

Yanyu pouted and shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know very well.

Then he yawned cutely, stretched, moved his neck, and stood up.

Subsequently, Meng Ling and the other women also stood up one after another, and found that toiletries had been prepared by the waterhole, and waited for them to go.

And there were a few female guards guarding there, and a row of new palace maids' clothes were placed next to them, neatly and neatly, a total of twenty pieces, which obviously needed to be changed into after they had finished washing.

When the twenty women all changed into brand-new palace maid clothes, lined up, and walked out of the cave under the leadership of the female guards, and came to the mouth of the waterfall, Yanyu found that the waterfall she had seen last night had revealed a gap at the moment, and a row of carriages was parked outside, waiting for them to get on the car.

Before getting into the car, a serious female guard gave each of them a small bottle of antidote, and told them to take one before going to bed every day, it was useless to take more, and said that this bottle could be taken for a month, and when the month was about to run out, someone would quietly bring it into the palace for them.

They are also warned that once the antidote is lost, they can only wait for death, so they must keep it with them and never lose it.

After getting into the carriage, because the curtains and door curtains were still sealed, they still couldn't see everything outside, and after walking for about half an hour, the carriage stopped.

Yanyu thought that he had arrived at the entrance of the palace, but he didn't expect to open the curtain and see that it was an empty meadow, and there were five obviously much more beautiful carriages parked neatly on the grass, and even partially inlaid with gold and silver jewelry, as well as very exquisite and cumbersome classical carvings, which looked like the carriages used in the palace.

Because each carriage was guarded by palace guards, it looked sacrosanct.

Then twenty of them, four in a carriage, five in a carriage, continued on their way.

As for the guards of the Five Poisons Sect who escorted them, they returned the same way, apparently handing them over to the guards sent by the palace to escort them.

This time, the curtains on both sides of the carriage were not sealed, so they could lift the curtains and enjoy the scenery outside the window at any time along the way.

At first, it was in the suburbs, so the scenery was very beautiful, so they were also in a good mood to see the smoke and rain.

Later, when I entered the city, I saw a lot of pedestrians on the road, if it weren't for the special royal guards in their row of carriages to open the way, it is estimated that it would be difficult to move an inch, which shows how prosperous this imperial city is.

When Meng Ling lifted the curtains and curiously admired the quaint houses, gorgeous taverns, shops, and loud vendors outside the window, as well as the people watching on both sides of the road, Yanyu also took the opportunity to take a look, which was also an eye-opener for her, who had never been to a big city.

Everything she saw felt very novel and interesting, but she knew in her heart that once she entered the palace in the future, it would be almost difficult to go out of the palace.

When she thought of the palace, Yanyu once again recalled the nightmare she had when she woke up from the ice for fifteen years the day before yesterday, and there was a woman in the dream who seemed to say that she would enter the palace, and that she was the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden, and that she was destined to become the concubine of the Lotus Born Heavenly Son, and finally when the Son of Heaven was tired of her, he would send her into the cold palace and die alone.

In this regard, although Yanyu didn't believe that she was really so miserable, and felt that it was just a nightmare, she didn't know why she still didn't know why, after all, she was about to enter the palace by mistake at this moment.

Originally, she just planned to save Meng Yan, a woman who fell to the bottom of the river, who knew that when she saw that Meng Yan was dying, she agreed to rescue her sister Meng Ling as soon as her heart softened, and later found Meng Ling, and planned to follow them into the city, rescue Meng Ling, and then live in seclusion in the imperial city, patiently waiting for her parents to come to the imperial city to find her.

However, it backfired, not only did she not have a chance to rescue Meng Ling, but she was trapped in the base camp of the Five Poisons Sect, although she was not forced to take chronic poison and had a chance to escape, but out of the nature of good faith and did not want to break the oath she promised Meng Yan, she still stayed with Meng Ling.

However, Yanyu also secretly told herself in her heart that when she entered the palace in the future, she would be as low-key as possible, and the day she found the poison that could completely remove Meng Ling's body would be the day she and Meng Ling escaped from the palace.

As for the palace maid, it will only be temporary, and she has never thought about currying favor with the so-called crown prince, let alone wanting to be favored by the crown prince and stay by her side to serve her.

Because on that day, she will be forced to poison the crown prince, and finally help the Five Poisons Sect control the crown prince and become a puppet emperor, then she will return this world to the Li royal family again, and at that time, it will inevitably make the entire Liansheng people miserable, and the people will be displaced, then she will become a sinner who aids and abets abuse, and she will never be at ease.

Thinking of this, Yanyu also felt a lot of pressure, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the antidote, because when the female guard gave each of them a bottle of antidote just now, she said that it is useless to take more, which means that the dose of this antidote is not large, it can only relieve the toxicity, but it cannot completely remove the toxicity, so if you want to find an antidote that can completely relieve the toxicity, you have to start from the Five Poisons Sect Master.

But the question is that after she enters the palace, will she still have the opportunity to meet the leader of the Five Poisons Sect?

Second, the palace is heavily guarded, and the person has lost his freedom, and the palace maid is almost the lowest status in the palace, she is an ant-like existence, and she will be punished if she does something wrong at any time, and even be beaten, and sometimes she encounters a bad-tempered master, and she may be dragged out to kill her, or the master has made a big mistake, and the palace maid is a substitute for the dead ghost, which is also a common thing.

Regarding these statements in the palace, Yanyu also learned when he was in Yanjia Village, listening to those villagers chatting at ordinary times, because some villagers entered the palace as palace maids when they were young, and later after they reached the age of twenty-five, they only went out of the palace to marry, and some people in the palace had private dealings, so they could often hear some rumors in the palace, and then tell them to the villagers, as a conversation after tea and dinner.

Just as Yanyu was thinking wildly, the carriage stopped again, and Yanyu looked through the gap in the curtains, and a huge golden city gate appeared in front of their carriage, and it was obvious that the palace had arrived.

After passing the routine inspection, the carriage was on the road again, this time, the carriage was moving very slowly, there were many royal guards outside the curtains, and every few steps nearby, there was a royal guard standing guard, which also made the smoke and rain look very depressing, and they did not dare to come out, and they always felt that if they were not careful, they would lose their lives.

As the carriage moved towards the deep palace little by little, Yanyu knew that there was no turning back, and then he had to go down.

After walking for about half an hour, when the carriage stopped again, Yanyu and the others were called out of the carriage by the royal guards, and when Yanyu saw a huge square in front of him, in which there were almost tens of thousands of palace maids chattering, he was also surprised!

I didn't expect that there would be so many palace maids participating in this palace maid selection.

But soon the rain was relieved, after all, the scale of this palace is so huge, it is said that there are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, and each beautie's palace must not have more than a dozen palace maids to serve, so tens of thousands of palace maids are also reasonable.

When the twenty women were taken by the royal guards to their designated positions and stood up, a young woman with blond hair in her hand with a huge curved bow appeared out of thin air on the roof of a palace on the east side of the square, she cleared her throat, and said in a serious voice:

"Be quiet, if any of you are too long-lived, just continue, just say anything, even if it is your last word in this world!"

As soon as she finished saying this, she threw it away, and the curved bow in her hand flew into the sky, and under the refraction of the sunlight, the piercing eyes couldn't be opened.

At first, all the palace maids in the square closed their mouths and stared at her curiously, especially the curved bow that looked well-made.

It was only after a moment of silence that there was another intermittent chatter, apparently speculating about who the mysterious woman was, and why the curved bow could float in the air without falling.

Then there were no arrows on the bow, and the bow didn't pull the string, so everyone didn't think so, thinking that the mysterious woman was just scaring everyone.

"Whoosh ......"

Suddenly, the string on the curved bow was automatically pulled open, and it was pulled five times in different directions, only to see five golden arrows of light instantly shoot towards the tens of thousands of palace maids in the square.

"Ah......h

With the five women's screams, everyone was surprised to see that a blood hole appeared in the eyebrows of the five palace maids, and red and white things gushed out from it, and then they fell straight down.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the square, but soon they all instinctively covered their mouths with their hands, and did not dare to make a sound anymore.

Because in this process, everyone saw the loudest screaming, and the palace maids who were scared to run around and shout everywhere attracted countless "whooshing" sounds again, and fell in a pool of blood.

At this point, everyone understood that as long as they didn't calm down, then this mysterious blonde woman would continue to kill, so they all shut their mouths in amusement.

When the square finally fell completely silent, the curved bow stopped firing and floated quietly in the air again, and all the surviving palace maids covered their mouths and looked at the entire square in shock, and found that at least four or five hundred palace maids had died at this moment......
