Ah Cai immediately followed up, "Speaking of dancing, I once said that a few years ago, Prince Ling presented a stunning beauty to the throne. She was a skilled dancer, and her performance captivated all the ministers. Everyone thought this stunning beauty would be the first to break the three-month curse. Guess what happened in the end?"
"Puchi, do I need to guess? There is definitely no answer." A Yujiao said with a smile.
Ah Cai smiled and said, "She didn't break the three-month curse, but do you know how she died?"
Everyone around was attracted by Ah Cai's words, and they all looked at her curiously, waiting for her to reveal the answer. She couldn't help but glance at Bei Yutang, and seeing that Bei Yutang was also looking at her, she felt proud in her heart.
Bei Yutang was really curious about the real thing.
"Acai, hurry up and speak." someone urged.
Ah Cai smiled mysteriously and said slowly, "That dancer is so good at dancing that the king lets her dance all the time. She can't stop until he says so."
At this point, her voice paused.
Some people were anxious to hear what was going on. "And then?"
After she had whetted everyone's appetite, she continued, "The dancer gritted her teeth and persevered for two hours, but finally collapsed from exhaustion. After she collapsed, do you think the king would punish her?"
"How is the punishment?" Ayu asked immediately.
Ah Cai turned to look at Bei Yutang, "Yutang, guess how the king punished her?"
Bei Yutang said calmly, "I'm not the king, so I can't guess what he's thinking."
Ah Cai felt bored when she heard her say this and stopped asking. "The king didn't kill her. Instead, he had her taken away to rest. Everyone thought the king was heartbroken and couldn't bear to kill her. After all, anyone who dared to disobey him or failed to do what he said would die. And the fact that the beauty was still alive and well proves that the king was moved by this stunning beauty."
"When everyone thought so, the king's next move was beyond everyone's expectations, but the result was also as expected. The next day, the king summoned the beauty again and asked her to dance for the ministers. However, this time, the stunning beauty stood on a red-hot iron plate and danced barefoot."
When everyone heard this, they all gasped.
"The legs of the stunning beauty at the back were destroyed. She fell onto the red-hot iron plate and was scalded to death."
After Ah Cai finished speaking, the surroundings were silent.
Several dancers with outstanding looks suddenly burst into tears.
Once chosen into the palace, they could fully imagine what their fate would be.
"Wow, I don't want to go into the palace."
"Woo."
All the dancers looked unhappy except Bei Yutang, who looked normal.
Seeing that she was still like this, Ah Cai couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm scared." Bei Yutang said seriously.
The others looked at her in confusion; they didn't see a trace of fear on her face at all.
"Whether or not I'll be chosen is one thing. Maybe I'll be lucky and not be chosen. Even if I am chosen, I'll just have to accept it. Our lives are never our own. Even in the palace, we have to live one day at a time. It's better to live happily every day before death than to live in fear every day. That way, my life will be worthwhile."
