Jian Xiao looked at the sky outside. The bright wind and sunshine earlier had already turned cloudy, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to wash down.
Jian Xiao stood in the yard, looking up at the sky. A flash of lightning instantly pierced the night sky, followed by thunder. She smiled at the sky, and the corners of her curved mouth soon tasted like raindrops. She closed her eyes and let the rain wash away.
Keep yourself
The heavy raindrops soon wetted Jian Xiao's clothes, and she started to cry. She couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on her face.
Suddenly the rain stopped washing, Jian Xiao wiped away the rainwater, and a rough oil-paper umbrella was placed above her head. Jian Xiao looked back at the owner of the paper umbrella. Wei Zhu was standing there, and he was also wet.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of being seen?" Jian Xiao asked
"What's wrong with seeing it?"
"Haha," Jian Xiao smiled bitterly, "Then I don't have to stay in the cold palace anymore, I will go directly to the execution ground."
Wei Zhu handed Jian Xiao a towel, dried her hair, and said softly, "I told you I was going to take you away, but you have to stay here to see what he will do to you?"
Jian Xiao wiped her face, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing down. She choked and said, "No, I can't, I..."
Seeing Jian Xiao crying, Wei Zhu felt annoyed, "He has treated you like this, and you are still crying? Where did the strong you before go?"
Jian Xiao shook his head, "It's him. I'm here. It's too difficult to find out the truth. I hate myself. I hate myself for not being able to find out who killed him. I may not get the truth until I die. Tuotuo...
...I'm sorry for you...I'm sorry for you..." Jian Xiao cried.
Wei Zhu pulled Jian Xiao over and whispered, "I'm not sorry, no..." He gently patted Jian Xiao's shoulder.
Jian Xiao pushed him away and wiped her tears, "What are you doing here?"
"There have been such big changes in the palace. I'm worried that something might happen to you," Wei Zhu said. "Leave Shang Feng and your affairs to me and take good care of your health."
"Wei Zhu, you know I can't have this child," Jian Xiao said solemnly, "If someone finds out, everything will be over."
"No, you think the Cold Palace is the Kunning Palace? People are rushing to come here?" Wei Zhu said, "Don't worry! I'm not the emperor, so I won't treat you like this."
Wei Zhu brought some clothes to Jian Xiao and said, "Don't get wet in the rain again, otherwise it will not be so easy for you when I find out!" After that, he sent Jian Xiao into the room, closed the door, and left.
Concubine Gong Xian was sitting in Guiyue Palace, drinking chrysanthemum tea, leisurely wiping away the foam with a tea lid, and said proudly, "Huh, what do you mean by the emperor's most proud concubine? Bah! You don't even know whose worldly behavior you dare to offend me.
?Things happened before I even arranged the things I asked you to arrange.”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Tianjiao stood on one side, "I wonder what your Majesty's next plan is?"
"What's your plan? She's already in the cold palace and has no future in her life! Hurry up and find me that earring from Xiaoxiang Tower, do you hear me?" Concubine Gong Xian said.
"Your Majesty, please don't be careless! Concubine Jian... no, Jian Xiao, even though she has been in the cold palace, her name has not changed. Your Majesty also knows that this is not the first time that she has escaped unscathed after entering the cold palace!"
Concubine Gong Xian took a sip of tea and spread her palms, "Don't worry, her life is firmly in my hands!"
Jian Xiao was lying on the cold bed, listening to the mosquitoes chirping in the room. Suddenly, the door creaked and was pushed open. Jian Xiao asked without looking back, "What are you doing here? Let's see if the trap I set has worked."
Is it effective?"
The familiar dry laughter echoed from time to time in the empty cold palace, "It was you who didn't follow the rules."
Jian Xiao looked back at Shang Feng, "Me?"
"We agreed to let you suffer some pain! But you are blindly trying to please the emperor. How can I implement my plan?" Shang Feng said confidently.
"So you teamed up with Concubine Gong Xian to trick me again?" Jian Xiao sneered, "I thought you were rivals."
"I want to get rid of her, but the time is not right now. You should know that if you want to make someone fall miserably, how can you not praise her more?" Shang Feng adjusted his mask. "Similarly, if you don't fall, you can't."
If it is worse, how can it rise strongly?"
Jian Xiao stopped talking, because she completely agreed with Shang Feng's words, otherwise she would not have let Zhang Qin keep a low profile. Thinking of Zhang Qin, Jian Xiao felt a little sad. Maybe she asked him too much, which led to this situation now.
"Aren't you curious about what we are going to do next?" Shang Feng asked.
Jian Xiao curled her lips, "Why don't you tell me and it's over? I'm not in the mood to play this game now. What else can I do in the cold palace now?"
Shang Feng said with a smile, "I know you picked up Concubine Gong Xian's earrings. This is your bargaining chip. If she doesn't get it back, she won't be practical, so she will make things difficult for you." Shang Feng said, "I will come when the time comes.
I’m telling you here!”
After Shang Feng finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave. Jian Xiao grabbed Shang Feng's arm. She was definitely a woman. Jian Xiao thought to herself, "I have something to ask you."
Shang Feng shook off Jian Xiao's hand and said, "Speak! Tell me everything you know."
"I want to ask you, besides you, who else can wear this mask of yours?" Jian Xiao asked.
There was no movement on the top cover for a moment, as if thinking, "No one!"
Jian Xiao smiled, "You say this, you don't believe it yourself?"
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is whether someone else really took care of him." Shang Feng was still as cold as ever. "Also, as soon as you come here, the emperor's life and death will have nothing to do with you?" Shang Feng said.
"What do you mean? Don't attack him!" Jian Xiao felt nervous, feeling that Shang Feng had brought her here to do harm to Zhang Qin.
"Huh! You are so long-term, he doesn't even believe you anymore! Guard your one-third of an acre of land!" After finishing speaking, Shang Feng left in a hurry.
Jian Xiao is not afraid of something happening to Zhang Qin. She is worried that Shang Feng will do anything that will implicate Wanyun and endanger her Minlan and Zhang Qin. Even if she wants to take care of it now, she is powerless.
Concubine Gong Xian really seemed to be on the right track. Jian Xiao had only been in the cold palace for a few days when she arrived early one morning.
Jian Xiao was pulling up her braids and didn't care at all that Concubine Gong Xian kept coughing and clearing her throat.
"Ahem, uh, uh! Jian Xiao! Why don't you bow to me when you see me? Do you know that this is a crime of disrespect?" Concubine Gong Xian laid out the chart.
Jian Xiao took the comb and glanced at her through the mirror, "Really? Although I am in the cold palace, do you know that my title has not changed? Let me tell Concubine Xian, should you give me this noble concubine?
Where are the salutes?"
"Humph, considering that you are about to die, I won't argue with you!" Concubine Gong Xian said, "I came here today just to see how you are doing. Without anyone to take care of you, without His Majesty's favor, you
Is it possible to live or not?”
"Thank you! It's nice here!" Jian Xiao arranged her hair, stood up and looked at Concubine Gong Xian
Concubine Gong Xian was stunned for a moment when she saw Jian Xiao, because there was an emerald and gold earring hanging on Jian Xiao's ear...
