Just when she was feeling puzzled and thought she was out of kindness to let her go, she waited for an imperial edict that sent her into the cold palace.
When she heard the cold-faced father-in-law read out the imperial edict, Ming Xiaochen couldn't come back to her senses for a while. She remembered what he said to her last night. It turned out that this was the case. This was his method. A touch of
A sarcastic sneer appeared from the corner of her mouth. If she could avoid being raped by him in the cold palace, she would be grateful to him.
"Concubine Chen, since you have been relegated to the cold palace, starting from today, you will move into the cold palace and will not leave the cold palace for even half a step." The indifferent father-in-law said, instructing several guards to pull her up from the ground.
She and Hong Tao were thrown into the cold palace together.
The person in charge of Leng Palace was a middle-aged woman. She seemed to have received the notice early and was already waiting for them at the door of Leng Palace.
"Steward Situ, Concubine Chen has been brought here. From now on, you will be in charge." The father-in-law who brought her came forward and said politely when he saw Steward Situ in charge of the cold palace.
"This is a place managed by me, and it will be managed properly. Father-in-law, please rest assured." Steward Situ smiled and nodded at him.
"Concubine Chen, you will live here from now on, and you must obey Steward Situ's orders in everything, you know?" My father-in-law turned to Ming Xiaochen and said in a commanding tone.
"Yes, thank you, father-in-law." Ming Xiaochen responded obediently, but kept sneering in his heart. The concubine who was thrown into the cold palace was a sinful concubine who was abandoned by the emperor. Even a father-in-law could order her.
"Steward Situ, I will leave her to you. I have to go back and take my leave." The father-in-law said a few words of rudeness to Steward Situ, then turned around and walked away with the guards.
"Are you Concubine Chen who just entered the palace not long ago?" As soon as they left, Steward Situ's expression immediately dropped and he looked at them coldly. Hong Tao hid behind Ming Xiaochen and did not dare to say anything.
"Yes, I am Ming Xiaochen." Ming Xiaochen looked at her sudden expression and knew that she was not a pleasant person. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, worried that she would be another Aunt Cui.
"There are many favored concubines who lived here who were very prosperous in the past, but they are all guilty people when they come here. Don't think about the glorious days in the past." She said this deliberately to warn Ming Xiaochen, don't forget about it when you get here.
I don't want to put on any airs of being a concubine anymore. The status of a concubine here is almost the same as that of an ordinary palace maid.
"Yes, thank you for the advice, manager." Ming Xiaochen lowered his head and didn't want to argue anymore. In a place like this, don't offend others in the end, otherwise he will be the one who suffers in the end. Who will leave him helpless?
After a while, he was relegated to the cold palace.
"Okay, Qingqing, take them to pick out a vacant room. I have other things to do." Steward Situ glanced at them as he spoke, and then told a palace maid behind him.
"Yes, Lord Situ, please come with your servants." The palace maid named Qingqing said to us, motioning for us to follow her.
Entering the gate of Leng Palace, there is a dark corridor inside.
There were two rows of houses beside the walkway. They were so simple that they looked like the palaces outside. As they walked by, they saw an occupied house and someone stuck their head out to look at them.
Their eyes were all terrifying, and they could faintly hear wild laughter and shrill cries, which was as weird as it gets.
