One hundred and thirty eighth chapter cold palace misfortune
Since that night, Emperor Xuan Tian no longer sent people to monitor me as before. Instead, he came over at night to watch and accompany me personally. In the past half month, I often went to the cold palace, and I took it with me every time.
Aunt Wan doesn't like too many people to know about good tea and food and clothing, so I bring them secretly every time. Anyway, they say that pregnant women eat a lot, so I just try to be thorough.
Because I feel the inconvenience in my body, I no longer perform Qing Gong easily, otherwise I will really fall down and my only relative in this world will be gone.
I always walk. The courtyard where Aunt Wan lives is very deep. I heard from the maids and eunuchs in the palace that the Cold Palace was expanded in the past. Those who were relegated to the Cold Palace by the late emperor lived inside, and those who lived outside were all the concubines who were demoted in the past two years.
Every time I walked through the courtyards outside, there would always be bursts of shrill screams mixed with vicious curses.
I once again feel the sorrow of ancient women. And I, maybe one day, will live here. If it is just a simple loss of favor, I think I will face it with a smile. Unfortunately, unfortunately not.
It was the beginning of spring, so I brought some grass seeds and flower seeds to Aunt Wan's courtyard. I asked two palace maids to help Aunt Ye clean up the courtyard, and taught Hao'er and the others to plant some flowers and plants together. We will see when the time comes.
You will feel a little more alive and your mood will be much better.
"Sir, you don't have to send these things every time. It's so troublesome." Aunt Wan watched Aunt Ye take a few packets of ointment and tea, and said gratefully. But there was a vague apology in it. I don't know.
Did I hear it wrong?
"It's not troublesome. I have so many things that I can't hold them all. I can't use them all." After my hand was burned last time, I realized that the ointment she had here was not good, so I started collecting ointments to treat burns and apply them.
Injuries, rashes, pimples, insect bites, etc., etc., I felt that I had collected them all. I marked them and then sent them together to explain slowly.
"Sir, you really shouldn't be so kind to me." Aunt Wan said this out of nowhere.
"Aunt Wan, look at what you said. I only feel that you are more friendly here in this world. Even if it is not towards you, then Hao'er is still young? I should be nice to Hao'er." In fact, I should thank her, otherwise I would
Now I am still struggling in that vortex of contradictions.
"Sir, are you okay with your mother returning?" he asked hesitantly.
I paused and whispered: "No more. He passed away more than a year ago."
Aunt Wan took a breath and sat unsteadily on the chair. Her eyes were dull.
"Aunt Wan? Are you okay? I'll call the imperial doctor..." I helped her nervously, and after saying that, I went out to look for someone.
"Don't go, I'm fine." She grabbed me and then shook my hand away. "Go away and never come here again."
I was very surprised by her every move. She was fine just now. She changed anyway, just because she knew my mother was gone. "Aunt Wan, don't be like this, calm down. Did I say something wrong?"
"I'm not your Aunt Wan! Stop yelling, take your things, and you go. The Heavenly Concubine is a precious person and is not suitable to come here. You hurry up, let's go." The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and in the end she was so excited.
Shout out.
Seeing the situation, Grandma Ye on the side knelt down with a thud and begged with tears: "My dear concubine, I can't help you. I beg you, please leave. My master is not in good health and I can't bear it."
Exciting, please leave quickly." As he said that, he knocked hard on the floor tiles, and the thumping sound came one after another. Soon, blood stains appeared on the bricks.
I couldn't digest this situation for a while, so I had to pull Grandma Ye and said: "Then I will go back first and come to see you another day."
"Don't come again, let's go, let's go quickly..." she continued to shout in a low voice.
I sighed and walked out. As I walked, I thought, what on earth is going on? I really can’t figure it out. Could it be that she knew my mother and had a good relationship with her, so she couldn’t accept it when she heard that she was gone. But that’s not right either.
, If that was the case, I should have asked a long time ago. I am really confused as to whether I should do this to me.
"Sister Fairy!" Hao'er came out of nowhere and ran to me with a roar. She pouted and said, "Sister Fairy, you left before Hao'er came back. My sister doesn't love Hao'er anymore!"
"How could that happen?" I knelt down and scratched his little nose. I felt it felt good, and then pinched his white face.
"Auntie is in a bad mood today. You go back and stay with her. Sister has something to do today. I'll bring some good things to see Haoer in two days, okay?"
He said obediently. I patted my shoulder and said, "Man, go and protect your aunt. Go!"
After listening to what I said, we gave a tacit high-five, and then he jumped up and down to the yard.
Looking at his cheerful back, I thought about how good it is to be a child. You don’t have to think so much, just smile when you are happy, get angry when you are unhappy, and just say whatever you want.
For a while, I felt lonely again, feeling alienated from others. I finally found someone to talk to, and this was the result again. My heart became gloomy, and the weather seemed to match my mood, gloomy and gloomy.
The sky looks like a melancholy face with downturned eyebrows, and the narrow spring breeze slides through the dry weeds in the woods in front, adding a bit of desolation to this cold prison.
I walked to the woods in front of me alone, passed through this small forest, and came out of the cold palace. There were very few people arranged to go to the cold palace. There were few people taking care of the woods. The woods were dense, and the miscanthus and thorns on the roadside grew very tall. There were hidden things hidden inside.
No one may even know about a tiger.
Most of the palace maids and eunuchs hope that they will be with a good master, not to mention being prosperous and prosperous, and there are many opportunities to reward and earn some money. Even if they can't get ahead, they can still be well-off outside the palace when they leave the palace.
No one in the Department of Protection wants to serve these demoted concubines every day. As I walked, I thought, in fact, there are benefits to doing things in the cold palace. In the harem, there are intrigues and plots. Not all the concubines are working as servants.
Is it a chess piece that they can give up at any time in their plan? If you want to go out of the palace to enjoy yourself, you must have the life to get out. It is better to find a better master in this cold palace and come back safely. But thinking about this, I feel more
I feel that I am pitiful. Not to mention whether I will survive or not, I am afraid that if I live for a few more decades, I will not have a chance to escape.
After walking for a long time, I stopped and suddenly felt that something was missing. By the way, I could always hear the screams and cries of a concubine on weekdays. The maids in the cold palace said that they had seen the new concubine who came in unwilling to accept it.
Yes, I have seen some crazy people, but I have never seen someone who has been here for more than half a year and still keeps making noises and crying every day after going crazy.
Now that I have calmed down, I think I have figured it out. Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly. I was still confused, and I was in a mood to think about other people's things. Forget it, I'd better go back and sort out my thoughts.
I know what happened to Aunt Wan.
I was about to move on when I heard some noises in the grass. I thought, it's early spring now? The leaves haven't grown yet, so there might be snakes. I guess it's a cat that escaped from some palace or something.
. Originally, I didn’t look back and just left. Maybe it should be okay, but there was no way. In this situation, the chance of people not looking back was very small.
So, I slowly turned around, and regretted it when I saw it. In the grass, there was a skinny woman wearing a tattered red robe. Her long hair was rough and messy, with a lot of dirt stuck on it.
Some grass clippings. Under the rough and swollen bangs in front, there is a pair of empty and gloomy eyes, covered with bloodshot eyes. Her face is red and pimpled. At first, she looked at me blankly, but when I turned around, her empty eyes suddenly became sad.
Turning red, before I could react, she screamed and rushed towards me. She even shouted: "It's you, Concubine Tian! You hurt me. It's you, it's you -"
I was horrified. I was about to take a step back, but when I took a step back, she grabbed my shoulder. When I took a closer look, I saw that it was Concubine Hong! Half a year ago, the day before yesterday, when I escaped from the palace, she came and tortured me to death. How did she change?
Is it like this?
Her face came closer, and her appearance was even more terrifying when she looked up close. Her eyes had turned red due to excitement and anger. On her already dirty face, the red spots were cracked, and tooth-yellow pus with bloodshot eyes oozed out.
I quickly turned my head away. She screamed loudly: "It's you, you bitch, I'm going to kill you, it's you..."
Just as I was saying it wasn't me, it was me, but her hands were already on my neck. It happened too suddenly. She didn't know why, but she held on tightly. When Siyi Quan was fighting, it was
I was asked to keep some distance, but she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed me. I couldn't use her fists at all. In the end, I could only think of the last resort. Let me just shout for help. I still know how to do this.
Just when I shouted for help, the woman fainted. As soon as the woman's face disappeared, my heart was about to drop, but half of the face of a masked man in black appeared behind me, which made my heart lift again.
Get up. It would be fine if I couldn't recognize him. At least I would think that he came out of nowhere to save me. But my eyesight at this time allowed me to recognize him. There was a red mole on the back of his right hand, which is a big
Half a year ago, the man who wanted to kill me at the lake and helped me drive away the snakes. I thought, it’s over. This time, he wouldn’t turn around and save first and then kill.
At this time, he came over and stretched out his hand. I was startled and couldn't help but step back.
He was startled, his hand hovered in the air for a long time, and then he slowly withdrew his hand, with a look of loss and guilt in his eyes. I couldn't help but feel strange for a long time.
"I've seen you by the lake before, but do you know me?" I really want to know if he wants to kill me, help me, or save me this time.
If he hadn't come to kill me, I should have thanked him.
He raised his head and replied: "I don't think I know him."
What do you mean you should not recognize it? Wait, let me think about it, I am still a little familiar with this figure. Maybe just a little bit, who is it? I think back to the people I have seen who always have their faces covered, it should be good
Living, the masked men flashed by one after another, and finally, a cold light flashed in my mind. If you are right, he was the masked man who whipped me and vomited blood, because at that time he taught me what the boundless sea of pain is, so there is
A unique impression. The two figures overlapped and the similarity was 90. I took a breath. If he was a follower of Emperor Xuantian, then there was no way he would have come to kill me by the lake half a year ago. Then if he was not a follower of Emperor Xuantian
, then why did he come to kill me, kill me for a long time, and then help me and save me. What about now? Doesn’t he want me to take a few more whips? Crazy, crazy. People here don’t
It's not weird, it's really abnormal.
At this time, I looked at him, and my heart went crazy. I heard someone calling from a distance, calling the Heavenly Concubine. It must have been that the palace maid found that I was missing when I said I was going to bed, and came out to look for me. In the past, I was annoyed by this voice the most, but now
It sounds really nice to say.
The man looked at me, then at the figure of the palace maid not far away, and whispered: "Leave quickly, be careful in the future..."
After saying that, the figure flashed and disappeared.
