3693. Chapter 3693 Infatuated with no regrets 【08】
A huge cold palace, where lived the empress, an old eunuch, and an old palace maid. These two people were originally confidants of the empress, but they were tortured by Feng Qinran to the point of becoming inhumane, but they could not die. Now they stay here
In this cold cold palace, let alone taking care of the empress, it is hard to say whether they can survive.
Shen Mingzhu walked around the two human figures lying on the haystack, and then entered the hall.
In the huge hall, there was an oil lamp like a bean, and a broken bed without a bed tent. It was covered with cobwebs everywhere, exuding a lifeless moldy smell that irritated people's noses.
The originally pampered empress was now sitting in front of the lamp with disheveled hair, wearing pajamas that had never been washed, and a body that had never been washed since she was captured, as if she were a doll.
Her expression was dull and her eyes were motionless, just like a sculpture.
At the beginning, she could scold, sneer, and scold, but later she realized that everything was of no use. Even if she kowtowed or begged for mercy, Feng Qinran would not give her an easy life.
Feng Qinran just wanted to keep her and torture her, and then vent her anger.
Therefore, she was desperate for life but not for death.
In order to prevent her from committing suicide, biting her tongue or hitting the wall, her food was drugged every day. She had very little strength in her body. Let alone committing suicide, she was exhausted even when she was breathing.
Suddenly, she moved, then slowly turned her head and looked back into the darkness.
She was facing the light, her disheveled hair was flying in the light, and she looked indescribably desolate. How could she still be the beautiful, noble and confident empress?
Shen Mingzhu felt slightly sad, and then took a step forward to expose herself to the empress' sight.
The empress suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Shen Mingzhu in disbelief. She wanted to speak, but she covered her mouth violently, and then tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Shen Mingzhu made a shushing gesture toward her, and then tapped the two old palace men on their sleeping points before coming back. Of course, two female subordinates soon came to pretend to be the two old palace men. One of them screamed that it hurt.
, one keeps coughing, which can paralyze the patrolling guards outside.
Shen Mingzhu stepped forward and saluted the empress.
The empress tried to help her up, but unfortunately she was too weak and fell down onto the broken bed halfway up.
Shen Mingzhu hurriedly supported her and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged."
The empress shook her head and sighed, unable to say a word.
But she still had to cheer up, "Mr. Shen, you, Xiao'er?"
Shen Mingzhu said hurriedly: "Princess Xiao is very well. Don't worry, Your Majesty. She has already recruited troops in Xingzhou. When the time comes, she will have a life-or-death showdown with Feng Qinran and rescue Your Majesty as soon as possible."
Hearing that Princess Xiao was fine, the empress breathed a sigh of relief, but she was a little disheartened and said: "Whether I go out or not, I don't care anymore. Being locked up here forces me to think a lot. It seems that a person's life
Sure enough, there is retribution. It’s not that I won’t retaliate, it’s just that the time has not come yet. I... did that to my brother back then... and now, my daughter is doing this to me... Haha, it’s also retribution.
accurate."
Shen Mingzhu didn't want to say anything more about the grievances surrounding the palace and the struggle for power.
But Feng Qinran was her enemy, so she was willing to help the empress.
"Why should your Majesty be discouraged? If she doesn't dare to harm His Majesty's independence now, it means that the time is not yet ripe. She is still afraid of His Majesty. When I rescue the prince, I will send someone to rescue him together. Your Majesty, don't worry.
, Shen Mingzhu keeps his word."
Shen Mingzhu's voice is firm and her face is calm, which is very reassuring.
But the empress still shook her head, "I no longer have those thoughts. Now, I am a useless person. I only hope that Xiao'er can...can eradicate that rebellious girl for me. The world will not be peaceful until the rebellious girl dies."
