Qi Kuan accompanied Xiayue back to Yanxi Palace. After Zhichun learned from Qi Kuan what happened in Kunning Palace, he was dumbfounded. He never thought that such a big thing would happen in this short time.
After a long while, she said in a trembling voice: "Master, has the emperor really deposed your concubine?"
Xianyue looked at her, twitched her lips and said, "Is there any lie in this matter? After the emperor officially issues the decree to the Sixth Palace, I will go to the Leng Palace. The emperor has promised me, no
I blame you, so nothing will happen to you and Qi Kuan, don’t worry.”
Zhichun didn't think about this at all, he just stared at Xianyue and asked nervously: "What will you do, master?"
"Of course I'm going to the Cold Palace. Speaking of which, I've been in the Palace for so long and I haven't been to the Cold Palace yet. I can take a good look this time." Xianyue tried hard to speak more relaxedly, but her tears could not be controlled.
It burst out of her eyes, moistening her cheeks that she had just wiped dry.
Zhichun also cried with her and said sadly: "How could the emperor be so indiscriminate and wrong the master? And Aluo, is she crazy? She actually said such things."
Xianyue wiped away the tears on Zhichun's face and said: "I don't want to talk about this. Okay, you should collect your things. The Ministry of Internal Affairs should assign you to serve the new master."
As soon as he heard this, Zhichun's tears immediately fell down again. He pulled Xianyue and said, "I can't bear to leave my master." Qi Kuan also kept nodding at the side.
"Silly girl, there is no birthday party in the world that lasts forever. There will be a time to say goodbye after all. However, I promise you that if one day I step out of the cold palace, I will definitely find you."
Zhichun gritted her silver teeth slightly and said softly: "Master, how about I accompany you to the cold palace? In this way, you will have someone to serve you in the cold palace, so it won't be too hard."
Xianyue didn't expect Zhichun to say such a thing. She was slightly moved in her heart, but she said: "Leng Palace is not a good place. Others are afraid to avoid it. If anyone takes the initiative to go to Leng Palace, don't be stupid."
"Although I have only been with my master for less than a year, I can feel how well the master treats his slaves. As for what happened to A Luo's mother before, you yourself only have 600 taels of silver left, but you are willing to give 500 taels to A Luo.
Mother Luo redeems her body. I believe that if my mother is in trouble, my master will definitely help me, so I am willing to follow my master. Wherever you go, I will follow you and never leave."
Xianyue's eyes were sore at what she said, and she choked with sobs: "It's absolutely right to say that you are a silly girl. Life in the cold palace will be very difficult. Do you really want to go?"
Zhichun nodded desperately, and just as Qi Kuan was about to speak, Xianyue said first, "I know what you are going to say, but as long as Zhichun is with me, you don't have to go to the cold palace to suffer."
Qi Kuan said quickly: "But I can't worry about my master. I..."
Xianyue interrupted him and said: "I understand, but if you follow me, you will not be able to help except one more person trapped in the cold palace. It is better to stay outside and pay attention to the movements of each palace for me."
At this point, she stopped talking and said in a very serious tone: "Believe me, I will not be trapped in the cold palace for the rest of my life!"
Facing her gaze, Qi Kuan nodded slowly and said: "I understand, I will stay outside and keep an eye on every move in the palace for you, especially A Luo. This time, if the master is wronged, he will definitely fight with her."
There is no way to escape the relationship. The slave will definitely find out who is behind her to harm the master."
Zhichun took over the conversation and said: "I have never understood why A Luo would betray her master when she treats her so well and has been in love with her for more than ten years."
Qi Kuan snorted coldly and said: "I can only say that the master mistrusted her. I will never let this treacherous person go."
Xianyue closed her eyes and said sarcastically: "I have always thought that I am quite knowledgeable about people, but it turns out that I am completely blind. Otherwise, how could I not see the true face of that cheap maid!"
Qi Kuan said coldly: "God is watching what you do. If A Luo does such a thing, he will definitely be punished. If God doesn't retaliate, I will repay it myself!"
Xianyue looked slightly startled, and said to Qi Kuan: "I can no longer protect you. You must be careful, think twice before acting, and never be impulsive. Especially about A Luo, I don't want anything to happen to you. I understand.
?”
After Qi Kuan nodded, Xianyue walked into the courtyard. As a result, without an umbrella, the scorching sun shone on her without any cover. It was as hot as if her whole body was about to burn. Only under the few Xifu crabapple trees were there.
There is so much coolness.
The crescent moon caressed the straight trunk of the crabapple tree. Now that it is summer, we can no longer see the blooming blooming crabapples. Only countless green leaves cover the scorching sun.
Qi Kuan and Zhi Chun stood silently with her for a long time before saying: "Master, go in, you will get heat stroke if you continue standing like this."
Xianyue said with a trace of nostalgia: "I want to see it for a while longer. From now on...at least for a long time, I won't be able to see it."
Hearing this, Zhichun was so sad that he could not speak. Just as he was about to speak, from the corner of his eye, he saw Sixi walking in with two palace attendants, holding a volume of imperial edict in his hand, and said hurriedly: "Master, Xi
Father-in-law is here."
"I understand." With that said, she walked up to Si Xi and glanced at the bright yellow imperial edict held in his hands, "Is your father-in-law here to announce the edict?"
Si Xi nodded and said: "Yes, please accept the order, my lady!" Because in Kunning Palace just now, Hongli had verbally deposed the title of Concubine Xiayue, so she couldn't bear the word "Empress" and could only be called "Empress".
A girly voice.
Xianyue knelt down silently and listened to Sixi read out every word of the imperial edict. After Sixi read out the word "I admire this", she raised her hand and said, "I accept the edict and thank you for your kindness."
After she got up, Sixi signaled the little eunuch who came with him to hand her the plain clothes in his hand, and then said: "Since the lady has accepted the order, please take off your hairpin and change your clothes, and then go to the cold palace immediately, and don't let the slaves."
Difficult to do.”
"I..." Xia Yue smiled sadly, changed her name and said, "I know, let's get over it."
After Xianyue finished speaking, Zhichun said: "Eunuch Xi, can you let me accompany my master to the cold palace?"
Si Xi did not expect that someone would voluntarily go to that ominous place in the cold palace. She was very surprised. She thought for a moment and said: "Our family can't make up our mind about this matter. We will wait until we return to the emperor."
Zhichun nodded helplessly, helped Xianyue into the inner hall, took off the jade ornaments from her bun, and put on her plain clothes. Then she and Qi Kuan accompanied Xianyue to the Cold Palace. The Cold Palace is located in the most corner of the Forbidden City. Apart from being imprisoned in
Except for the sinful concubines in the cold palace or the palace guards arranged to guard the cold palace, no one wants to go near it. Even if they have to pass nearby sometimes, they would rather take a few more steps to avoid passing directly by the cold palace.
