As soon as Wu Zhi's words came out, Jiang Shiyun immediately felt ashamed in his heart.
"I, my conditions have always been like this here."
"It was quite a pleasure for the two of us to meet each other."
"And as you are my savior, I should treat you well."
"But no matter what, the conditions here are really bad, and it's difficult to change them even in a short while."
"So, so..."
When Wu Zhi saw Jiang Shiyun's pitiful little appearance, he couldn't bear to talk about it anymore.
But he still had some doubts in his mind. Even at the beginning, Jiang Shiyun was thrown into the cold palace before she could become Zhao Ji's concubine.
But no matter what, she is still a woman who once fell into Zhao Ji's eyes.
The person in charge arranged for Jiang Shiyun to live in such a dilapidated house?
And even the eunuchs and maids treated him with such contempt?
Even the necessary charcoal fire in winter is gone, and you don't care?
this……
Isn't that a bit too much?
But when Wu Zhi asked these questions in his heart in front of Jiang Shiyun.
The answer given by Jiang Shiyun truly explained what it means to look down upon others.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'll just tell you the truth here."
"Anyone who has been relegated to the cold palace, whether it is a concubine, a promise, Chang Zai, or a beautiful girl like me."
"In this life, there is almost no chance of getting ahead."
"So in the eyes of those eunuchs and palace maids, they have lost the idea of continuing to pursue people like us."
"During this season, other empresses usually change the charcoal fire in the brazier three times a day."
"Even for empresses with higher status, it is possible to change them five or six times a day."
"But we women who have been relegated to the cold palace may not be able to change them every three or four days."
"And when those eunuchs and palace maids came here to change the charcoal for us."
"His attitude is also quite perfunctory."
"It's like being close to us will bring bad luck to them."
As Jiang Shiyun spoke, she sighed inaudibly.
"I think back to the last time when a palace maid brought me charcoal fire, it was already two or three days ago."
"So the carbon basin has been completely cold for a long time."
"I am originally a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, and I am extremely afraid of the cold when winter comes."
"Fortunately, when I went home to visit my relatives last time, I brought some extra clothes to keep out the cold."
"Otherwise, I might not be able to survive this winter."
Wu Zhi also felt deep sympathy for Jiang Shiyun's various experiences.
But what puzzled him was that since he was living in such poverty here and had to be scorned by the servants, he might as well leave here as soon as possible and return to his hometown.
It's better than suffering here.
But the answer given by Jiang Shiyun also confirmed from the side that Wu Zhi's time as an official in the palace was still too short.
Even the most basic ones cannot be fully understood.
Jiang Shiyun's expression was sad and gloomy, and her voice was also hoarse.
"It would be great if we, the miserable women, could really get out of here."
"But for a place like this, the probability of that happening is really very small."
"The person who used to live next door to me was also a concubine that the official family liked quite a lot."
"But that concubine was framed by others in the end and slandered her as having sex with a young eunuch."
"In the end, the officials sent the concubine to the cold palace for being detrimental to the royal dignity."
"Until the time when the concubine died of illness in the cold palace, the officials did not even visit her once."
Jiang Shiyun's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, she could no longer speak.
Shaking his head and sighing, he walked to the window with slightly staggering steps and slowly opened the two thin wooden windows.
Despite the cold wind and heavy snow outside the window, which kept beating against her body and cheeks, she remained unmoved.
"This place is called the Cold Palace, but it's actually not much different from that prison."
"The final fate of any woman imprisoned here will not be much better."
"It is precisely because of this that those eunuchs and maids dare to despise us like this."
"Otherwise, how could they dare?"
Jiang Shiyun slowly turned around, facing Wu Zhi with her back to the window.
Gusts of strong wind blew the strands of Jiang Shiyun's long hair behind her.
Some hair covered the side of her face.
And some hair strands were swayed on the chest.
It looks like a slightly wild beauty during this period.
"I'm really happy that we two met here by chance today."
"You don't know how boring I am here on weekdays."
"Every night, I would like to go to the yard to dance for a while to let off steam."
"If not, I might go crazy before long."
Wu Zhi suddenly felt that the woman standing at the window was really pitiful and pitiful.
He wanted to help her, but he didn't know where to start.
And just when Wu Zhi kept thinking about the perfect solution to the problem in front of him.
In his ears, Jiang Shiyun's hopeful words came.
"you……"
"After you have time, can you come over and talk to me?"
When Jiang Shiyun finished saying this, she seemed to be afraid that Wu Zhi would be like other eunuchs and refuse to stay here any longer.
So, I quickly added another sentence.
"If you are really busy on weekdays, then it is okay to come once every half month or once a month."
Wu Zhi did not reply to her directly, but slowly stood up from the chair next to the coffee table.
Then, he looked directly at Jiang Shiyun with a warm look on his face and slowly walked towards her.
Such Wu Zhi made Jiang Shiyun feel slightly panicked.
She seemed to have realized in her heart what Wu Zhi wanted to do.
So he twisted his slender waist and hid on the other side.
"you……"
"What do you want to do?"
Wu Zhi glanced at her helplessly.
"I'm already a eunuch, what else can I do?
What else do you want to do?
What else can you do?”
"Really."
"I just saw you standing in front of the window, being blown by the cold wind all the time, and I was worried that you would catch the cold and get sick."
"So I thought of coming over and closing the window for you, that's all."
"And what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Shiyun's pretty face turned red at what he said.
Then, slightly embarrassed, he returned to the bed and sat down.
At this time, Wu Zhi had already closed the window for Jiang Shiyun.
When he returned again, he did not sit back on the chair. Instead, he came to the bed and sat side by side with Jiang Shiyun.
