Glossary

Names:

Nan Yan – Our female lead.

Yan w.a.n.g/Zhu Feng –  Zhu Feng is his birth name. Yan w.a.n.g is a t.i.tle giving to Zhu Feng by the emperor in honor of his princely status. All brothers of the emperor are consider princes.

Emperor Gao Zu (高祖) – The deceased emperor. Zhu Feng's father.

The Emperor – The current emperor, yet to be named. Zhu Feng's nephew

Shun'er (顺儿) – Young eunuch that served in the Eastern Garden Courtyard.

Shun is his name and 'er is a suffix that used in an endearing manner. It literally translates into 'child' but when used in combination with a name it can be used for any age and shows closeness, endearment or to express smallness.

First Cla.s.s Female Attendant Li (Lǐ xuǎn Shì, 李选侍) – Nan Yan's unwanted enemy.

t.i.tles:

Shú Fù (叔父) – father’s younger brother.

First Cla.s.s Female Attendant (xuǎn Shì, 選侍) –  A t.i.tle for newly chosen concubines. Depending on the harem ranking system used it could be the last or second to last position after entering the royal harem.

Běn Wáng (本王) – What princes call themselves. Translated as: "this prince"

Places:

Qin Palace (寝宫) – 'imperial sleeping palace'. The emperor's resting place. Contains a chamber devoted entirely to the emperor's bed. A chamber for welcoming guests. A study set aside for leisure activities like reading. Most of the time this study is not used for writing imperial doc.u.ments. The emperor has a imperial study set aside for that. And many, many, many more rooms.

Historically speaking court rules forbade the emperor to sleep in his concubine's beds. They came to his bed, and if legend were to be believed, the chosen one was carried over by a eunuch, naked and wrapped in silk quilt.

Eastern Garden Courtyard (东苑) – The name of a courtyard. It is where the newly entered concubines stayed. The name can be interpreted in many ways and used to describe the people living there. So this courtyard is built somewhere in the east and full of young women 'flower garden'.

Imperial City (皇城) – The city that houses the Imperial palace that the Emperor lives in. This city has yet to be given a name.

Chapter 8: Since Ancient Times, the End of a Tyrant

At this moment, Zhu Feng simply did not dare to believe what he was hearing.

He slowly turned his body, and in the dark there was an almost unimaginable glow in his eyes:

"What did you say?"

This small concubine, wrapped in his pitch black cloak was standing in front of him. Her snow-white feet exposed with a little blood were stained on the ground making her feet look even more dazzling white. On top of that making her looks even more fragile and powerless, but she bickers in front of him:

"I said. They perhaps are less likely to survive. But Your Majesty also may not necessarily be capable of having—-a good ending.

Just a while ago these people were already scared. Nevertheless, this time as well they were all stunned. All of them, looked at Si Nan Yan stupidly, as if looking at an already dead person.

Not long ago everyone was still confused the reason when First Cla.s.s Female Attendant Li spoke those words. His Highness, Yan w.a.n.g did not intensely question her. However at present, everyone even more failed to understand clearly for what reason Yan w.a.n.g has not questioned Nan Yan closely, even though she dared to speak out in this way.

Is she tired of living?

Zhu Feng laughed.

Qin Palace's large fire had already reached them a long time ago. The tall flames illuminated his face, reflecting his smile. It had a kind of sinister meaning.

He slowly walked in front of Nan Yan:

"You said, this prince is less likely to survive?"

His figure in general was tall like a mountain. When he walked in front of her, his shadow almost covered Nan Yan's whole body. Nan Yan's shoulder slightly twitched and she clenched her teeth together, she speaks:

"Could it be that it is not so? Your Majesty from Beiping  raised an army. The whole journey towards the south, what military order did you give them?"

Zhu Feng frowned. "Armed rebellion."

Nan Yan lifted her head, her pair of black and white clear eyes looked at him. While also pointing to the corpses around him saying:

"This, is a young palace eunuch named Shun'er who is usually inside of the Eastern Garden Courtyard running errands. All year round The Emperor's face he has not even seen it often. Furthermore these, are merely palace maids who work in the imperial harem, and these are First Cla.s.s Female Attendants. Since entering the palace they also have hardly ever seen The Emperor."

"…"

"They are without the strength to truss a chicken. It is even more impossible for them to be unfaithful at The Emperor's side "

"……"

"Your Highness's armed rebellion nevertheless killed these people."

"……"

"Is this the armed rebellion you ordered?"

"……"

"Your Highness, tonight you slaughtered all the way into the Imperial City, corpses lie all over the palace and for the sake of what? We all very clearly understand why. But if you keep willfully slaughtering the innocent, even if in the future Your Highness ascends and claims the t.i.tle of Emperor. What will spread is no more than the ruthless tyrant, nothing more."

"…."

"Your Majesty is aware with things of the past and present. Could it be that you are unaware of this? Since ancient times, what happens to a tyrant fate?"

"……"

"Tonight they will certainly not be able to live. But how long will Your Majesty’s good days be?”

Once she finished speaking these words, the surroundings all at once became quiet.

All of the people looked at her with an indescribable look, like looking at a dead person —- someone actually was dared to say these things in front of His Highness, Yan w.a.n.g!

Is she really tired of living?

After Nan Yan saying these words in one breath, she raised her head to look at Yan w.a.n.g. Yet, his eyes turned dark as if bottomless. She began to tremble at once.

This “death”, she really looked for a good one!

At this time, Zhu Feng still facing her began taking one step, then another step.

His eyes look like a sharp sword, almost piercing through Nan Yan's whole body. Nan Yan involuntarily moved backwards, one step at a time. However as she gradually retreated that cause her embarra.s.sing situation.  

Suddenly, something slippery under her feet and the whole body fell backwards towards the ground.

"What–!"
