Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

The two people whispered to each other as they carefully groped their way inside.

When they first entered, it was eerily quiet inside. After walking for a few dozen meters, they gradually heard suppressed sobbing and some voices speaking in despair.

"What should we do? Once dawn breaks, we’ll be sent to the Imperial Mausoleum. I don’t want to die, I’m still young!"

Being sent to the Imperial Mausoleum means being buried alive, starving to death inside. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

"Who wants to die! It’s not like we had a choice when the Emperor selected us. It’s fate, we have to accept it."

"If Heaven would give me another chance, I would never enter the palace again, never become a damned palace maid. I thought it would improve my family’s status, but now I’ve got nothing, not even my life."

"Every year there’s a selection of palace women. No one expected that we’d be so unlucky to encounter the Empress Dowager’s death anniversary."

"She’s dead, so what? Why do we have to accompany her in death? Wahhh!"

"She’s destined to be a Phoenix, dying and wanting us to serve her down there."

"Why do we have to? I also have parents! Wahhh... "

"Because we’re just ordinary people! If the Emperor wants us dead, what can we do?"

"Escape, we can escape." Someone spoke in desperation.

"You say that so easily. The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, as strong as a fortress. How can we, as weak women, escape!"

Immediately, everyone fell silent, simultaneously realizing that yes, they were just weak women. Even if they died, it would be hard for their bodies to leave, let alone now, being alive and selected by the Emperor to accompany in death—it was like trying to climb to heaven.

While everyone was in deep despair, suddenly, a voice rang out...

"Do you really want to go out?" The ethereal voice echoed continuously inside the palace.

The palace maids were initially startled, but then, realizing they were already near death, why be afraid? So they summoned their courage and asked, "Who? Who is speaking?"

"Someone who can save you from this fiery pit." The ethereal voice sounded again.

The palace maids exchanged looks, initially not daring to believe, thinking the Emperor had sent someone to test them, so they remained silent.

"What’s wrong? Don’t you want to escape? Do you really want to accompany that old woman to the Imperial Mausoleum tomorrow?" The voice sounded again.

The palace maids looked up and glanced around. In the empty palace, except for them, there was no one to be seen. Who on earth was talking to them? Could it be that Heaven took pity on them and sent an Immortal down to save them?

Having nothing to lose and seeing a glimmer of hope, the palace maids decided to risk it all. They knelt on the ground with a thud and exclaimed loudly, "Immortal, please save us."

"If you want to live, quickly open the door and turn right. There will be a noble to help you escape." The voice sounded again.

"Immortal, it’s not that we don’t want to go out, but the door is locked. We can’t get out!"

"Go and see for yourselves."

Hearing this, the palace maids rushed to the front door. The usually tightly locked door easily opened with a gentle pull, and they were overjoyed, immediately running outside...

Ahead appeared a big and a small man in black, beckoning to them.

Could these be the nobles the Immortal mentioned?

There was no time to think about it; they would be dead by dawn. The palace maids ran toward the big and small men in black, leaving their lives in the balance.

The men in black led them through twists and turns, arriving at an abandoned palace. The garden of the palace was overgrown with weeds, with a large dried-up well at the inner side.
