The price to pay

The night seemed just like another other night. However, under the cover of the night, Qiu Mei was with the most powerful attendant in the palace. Qiu Mei shivered in the cold night, she quietly retraced her every step and wondered how everything had worked out so easily.

Qiu Mei tagged along silently behind Ra-On as they were joined with 5 other senior court ladies. The senior court ladies were in charge of the different sectors in the palace. They were fierce and feared by many in the palace. Qiu Mei bowed her head and mumbled her greetings when they approached, she kept her eyes on the ground before her and kept her shaking hands out of view.
