Xian Ziqian felt that she had been kneeling for too long and that she had no strength to hold on any longer. The father-in-law in the palace took her outside the palace courtyard of the Queen Mother and asked her to kneel and wait for Xuan Xuan outside the door, which was paved with large stones.
The ground was really hard and cold. It was still summer, but it was already so cold that her knees were covered with cold air.
The problem is, she doesn't know how long she has to kneel. The sun in the sky is getting lower and lower, and the surrounding vision is slowly getting dim. She is still kneeling. Occasionally, some people will pass by, but there are no
Someone looked at her, or came up to ask her. At first, she was still thinking about what big mistake she had made. She thought about it over and over again, but in the end, she still couldn't figure out the reason.
She simply gave up thinking, but she felt a little dizzy and sleepy. It was probably because she had been in the sun for too long and had not drank water. Her body began to shake slightly. She secretly supported the ground with her hands and held on for a while.
, suddenly, she gave up her insistence and thought, This is it already, why not just fall into a coma!
It seemed that she was not just thinking about this. As soon as this thought came to her mind, her body suddenly relaxed and fell to the ground. She closed her eyes. It was so comfortable. She thought, it would be better to sleep for a while.
She vaguely heard someone approaching her, looking at her with a critical eye and a slight coldness. She could feel it even with her eyes closed. Then, she heard someone calling her: "Xian Ziqian, wake up."
The voice seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was. However, hearing a familiar voice in a place like this is definitely not a bad thing. A reassuring smile suddenly flashed across Xian Zijian's face, and she murmured: "I'm so tired. I just
If you don’t wake up, you’ll have to kneel down when you wake up.”
Xuan Yi stared at Xian Zijian who was curled up on the ground like a kitten. As soon as he arrived, he saw the girl's body falling softly on the ground from a distance. He was really shocked. The father-in-law in the palace who brought her here actually
Let her, a girl who has never entered the palace, kneel outside the Queen Mother's palace until now. This is not a short time. Even someone who has been working in the palace for many years will not be able to bear it if she makes a mistake and kneels for such a long time.
However, he was originally going to be angry, but after hearing Xian Ziyan's murmur, he couldn't help but smile a little at the corners of his lips. Listening to this girl's words, it seemed that she wanted to faint on purpose because she was too tired.
.She thought this was where she was. When she was tired, she could pretend to faint and lie down on the ground to rest. If this was seen by people in the Queen Mother's palace, the punishment would be aggravated.
However, Xuan Yi wanted to laugh again, and Xuan Yi saw Xian Ziyan's slightly pale face and already dry lips and understood that she was not simply tired and wanted to take a rest, she really couldn't hold on anymore.
"Guard Jin, help her up and let her continue to kneel. I'll go in to see the Queen Mother." Xuan Yi whispered to the Jin guard beside him, and took another look at Xian Zijian. Without her knowing it, she was helped up by Jin guard and continued to kneel, her body
But it was soft at all. As soon as Guard Jin let go, she would have to lie down on the ground. He frowned slightly and said, "Forget it, let her continue to lie on the ground. You go get some water to moisten her throat."
"
"Yes, I'll go right away." Guard Jin said respectfully, then asked Xian Zijian to lie down again, and turned around to look for water with an acquaintance.
Xuan Yi took another look at Xian Zijian, who had really fallen asleep this time, and turned around to enter the Queen Mother's palace. Xian Zijian, who was in a coma, seemed to feel that someone had come and left, and she didn't know clearly in her mind. After everything calmed down, she
This time I really fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I was in a small small room with dim light. There was only a lamp on the table, which swayed and reflected the light on the wall, forming a very scary-looking pattern. This made me wake up.
Xian Ziqian, whose eyes were still in a state of confusion, was startled. Her mind was blank for a while, and then she slowly came to her senses and focused her eyes on her surroundings.
This is not her home, nor is it a place she has an impression of. It is a small, square hut with a small window nailed with wooden strips. Wind blows into the room from there, so it is
The lamps on the small table kept beating, and then reflected strange patterns on the wall. There was only one table and one bed in the room, and she was lying on the bed at this time.
Slowly recalling what happened at the wedding of Guan Fuzhong's sister and Guan Yupeng, she was inexplicably brought to the palace by her father-in-law for destroying objects in the palace, and then knelt in front of the Queen Mother's palace. The sun was very poisonous.
The ground was very cold, her knees were very sore, her body was very tired, and then she fainted.
Xian Ziqian wanted to get off the bed, but she felt that her knees were extremely sore. She looked at the dancing light and saw that her knees had become swollen and turned purple. When she saw her knees, she felt that not only her knees were sore, but her whole body was also in pain.
Yes, I gritted my teeth, got off the bed, and walked to the door. The door could not be opened. It must have been locked from the outside. I wanted to open my mouth and shout to ask if there was anyone outside, but there was a light in the room.
Judging from the quiet situation outside, there is definitely no one outside at this time.
Sighing, Xian Zijian returned to the table and sat down slowly holding on to the edge of the table. Fortunately, there was water in the teapot on the table. Although it was cold, it could still be used to quench her thirst in summer. The tea tasted pretty good.
Definitely not old tea.
Xian Ziqian thought quietly, after all, she was in the palace, she was a criminal, and the place she stayed in was definitely not a good place. Being able to have such tea was beyond her expectation.
Suddenly, the door made a creaking sound. Xian Ziqian was startled and almost dropped the tea cup in her hand. First a lantern came in, and then two people walked in. Reflecting the light of the lantern, Xian Ziqian narrowed her eyes slightly.
, I didn’t see clearly who the visitor was, but I vaguely felt that he was not a stranger.
"Looks like she's in a good mood." It was really a familiar voice, but when she heard this voice, Xian Ziqian's only thought was that at this time, she really wished that this voice was just in her dream.
Xuan Yi didn't seem to mind Xian Zijin's surprise and the slight hostility in his eyes that he forgot to conceal. He sat down at the table and waved his hand to signal the person holding the lantern to leave. Xian Zijin saw that it should be a young father-in-law with a stature.
He was still a little thin. He lowered his head and left with a lantern in hand. During the whole process, his eyes did not fall on Xian Ziqian.
"Don't look at it, that's a useless little father-in-law." Xuan Yi said jokingly, stretched out his hand to light up some lamps on the table, and looked at Xian Zijian, "Can you still drink this tea?"
Xian Ziqian answered honestly: "I can drink it, either because I am thirsty, or because this is the palace, no matter how bad the place is, tea is still good, at least it is not old tea."
