At about the right time, Ruan Yuyi had finished dressing up, and the sedan chair and chariot had been prepared outside the palace, and the group went to Leng Palace.
It was said to be a cold palace, but in fact it was just an ordinary palace that few people visited. At least at first glance, it had red walls and black tiles, and there was nothing much different about it. But after walking into the courtyard, she knew why this was a cold palace.
The trees were sparse and the loess was exposed in several places. The whole palace seemed to be shrouded in a layer of smoke and dust, and there was no one in the palace. It was shockingly deserted.
The door of the palace was half open, and it was dark and unknown what was inside.
She pressed the door, hesitated, and then pushed it open. A smell of decay that had been vacant for a long time came to her face. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.
Mu Xiang immediately asked from the side, "This place is not very clean. Why don't you wait outside? I can just go and take a look."
She shook her head. If she didn't do what he wanted, she didn't know whether he would be angry.
"My concubine's place is indeed not very clean. I'm afraid it will stain your shoes." A mute female voice came from the darkness, as if she was suppressing something, and her voice sounded a little trembling.
Her voice became hoarse yesterday, and it was still aching slightly this morning.
Li Meiren walked out slowly. She was dressed in plain clothes and her hair was only fixed with a silver hairpin. After just one night, she turned as gray as a dead tree.
"Your Majesty knows that I want your life, why do you come here?" She smiled half-heartedly, and took a few steps forward, but several palace servants stepped in front of Ruan Yuyi.
She was startled, then laughed softly, "Look, I'm so scared." Seeing the guarded look of the palace people in front of her, she suddenly felt inexplicably happy.
Ruan Yuyi's frown has not relaxed since she stepped into this place, "You have to know that you would never end up in this situation."
She lives in a fairy palace, Lin Palace, a life that is envied by many people. Although she is only a beauty now, if any other sisters come to this palace in the future, they will rarely mention her status.
.
If this incident hadn't happened, she would have been able to live a relatively comfortable and stable life.
Li Meiren laughed as if she heard a big joke, and then bent down with laughter. The sudden laughter echoed in the empty hall, and everyone present was horrified.
Ruan Yuyi was also upset by her, wondering whether her words had touched her in any painful place.
It took her a while before she stopped and answered the question, "Do you know that I asked someone to refill the charcoal fire in the palace last time? I am afraid that I will catch the cold!"
Ruan Yuyi's eyes widened slightly. She didn't expect that this person would be thinking about her life from so early on.
Someone in the palace was afraid that she would do something suddenly and hurt the master present, so they stepped forward to restrain Li Meiren from left to right. She allowed them to move without any resistance.
She gritted her teeth and said, "It's so cold today."
The wind blew open the red door, and the two doors hit the wall heavily, and the wind that invaded the flesh and bones roared in. Ruan Yuyi closed her sleeves and her heart sank.
Li Meiren shouted sharply, "It's so cold today!"
She no longer looked calm and struggled desperately, as if the hands of the palace servant who restrained her were poisonous ivy or thorns that were trying to penetrate deeply into her flesh and blood.
Her eyes were blood red and she was muttering something. Ruan Yuyi only heard her own name.
Her confidant maid also followed her into the cold palace. Seeing her master like this, she begged pitifully, "Little master, please don't do this, please don't do this -"
The scene was chaotic for a while.
The palace servant on the side whispered to Ruan Yuyi, "I heard that when I brought food today, I noticed that Li Meiren was like this. She can still say one or two words properly when she is awake, but it is just hard to hear. This is like crazy.
Come on, no one dares to provoke you."
Li Meiren is crazy.
This was said by everyone in the palace. She was always bossy and harsh at her subordinates. No one pitied her, and she became the laughing stock of everyone.
Ruan Yuyi was a little unable to laugh. Li Meiren would not be able to achieve this overnight. She is not Li Meiren, so she cannot understand why she would trick herself into being like this.
She was disgusted with Li Meiren's unexplained murderous intention towards her, and also pitied her for being a poor person in the palace.
Behind her came the palace servants beside the new emperor, carrying a tray with a piece of silk neatly stacked on it. The silk silk was as white as snow, and it flashed in front of her eyes, making her feel frightened.
The palace man bowed politely, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty has ordered you to avoid me for a moment or two."
Ruan Yuyi knew exactly what he wanted her to do. She withdrew her eyes and pretended to be indifferent, "Let's go then." She suddenly felt a little chilly on her body and tightened her hands around the sleeve burner.
She turned around and walked out. Unlike Li Meiren, she was free to come and go. The faint sunlight fell on her body, tracing a layer of gold around the fur collar of her cloak.
The noise behind him continued, with some conversations among the palace people and the shouting of the confidant maid.
Just as she got off Taiji, a shrill cry of pain came from behind her. For the next moment, it was as if everything was completely silent, and it was shockingly quiet. Soon, crying and shouting filled the gap.
Suddenly, she stopped.
She took a breath, her voice trembling unnoticeably, "What happened."
Mu Xiang looked back, stretched out her hand to block her peripheral vision, and said in a low voice, "Li Meiren hit a pillar. Madam, let's go."
She hummed softly and walked out of the silent and noisy cold palace.
Is this what he wants her to see? She thought.
When we returned to the Yangxin Hall, there were snowdrops falling outside. Seeing that she had been looking a little dazed, and fearing that she would be frightened, Muxiang warmed the milk and said it would calm her down.
Mu Xiang glanced at her expression and said hesitantly, "Empress, this is not your fault."
"I understand." She said this, but she kept lowering her eyes. Although her eyes fell on the ground, they seemed to be looking deeper.
After taking the milk, she felt warmth in her palms, and her eyes moved, reflecting the gorgeous room in front of her.
Half a cup of milk is consumed, just in time for the next morning.
The door of the palace opened wide, and Jiang Huaiyang was not the only one who came. Behind him was a man of about forty, who looked like he was an official based on his clothes.
Ruan Yuyi stood up, blessed her body, and said warmly, "Your Majesty, Jin'an."
The official was startled when he saw that there was a woman in the palace, "This..."
She moved her eyes towards the minister and nodded slightly.
He immediately came to his senses, saluted and said hello, "I have met the Queen Concubine Jin." He would be allowed to stay here for a long time and have such a beautiful face. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew who it was. The previous admonitions about this Queen were related to
There are not many rumors at all.
When she saw this situation and knew that she was inconvenienced here, she wanted to leave.
But Jiang Huaiyang said, "This is Li Meiren's father, Prime Minister Li."
