The cold palace is a little dilapidated.

No concubines had ever entered the cold palace in the previous dynasty, and the concubines who loved him every day by the emperor at that time did not have time to spoil his countless concubines, so he was too late and not interested in doing such a thing as entering the cold palace.

After all, he will not have a bottom line for such a thing as pampering beauties.

The concubines of the previous dynasty were also well versed in this, and they were very harmonious with each other.

It can be said that although the national fortunes of the previous dynasty were not prosperous enough, the emperor had no intention of opening up the territory, and the lives of the people were also full of bitterness and unevenness.

But the harem is really peaceful.

After all, this is an emperor with rain and dew, and they don't have so many complaints as concubines.

Intrigue or something, it's all superfluous.

No matter how you fight, the emperor will not go to the same beauty twice a month.

Superfluous things, everyone is too lazy to do.

As a result, the cold palace became a ruin of the previous dynasty.

Where it is nothing, no one cares.

No matter how dilapidated and unpopular, no one will care.

When he arrived at Cheng Guang, Leng Gong finally became a little angry.

first sent some of the concubines who had not had time to dedicate themselves to the previous dynasty to the cold palace.

Later, some beauties who were demons were sent here.

This time, the queen was sent in.

As a result, this building, which had no importance at all, suddenly became alive.

Since the queen came in, there have been almost several tables of mahjong here.

Some beauties who have a good relationship with the queen were also sent in by Cheng Guang, and they said that they were accompanying the queen, but in fact, he just wanted to completely cut off the queen's power.

If Cheng Guang was able to sit on the throne back then with the assistance of his sister, then it was almost the help of the queen's family to create a prosperous era in the future.

The queen's family is from Jiangnan.

There is not much else, just a lot of money.

Cheng Guang also likes to fight, and he needs silver to fight.

It can be said that the queen's line paid considerable financial resources to fight for Cheng Guang.

Although it was a lot of victories, those territories were also given to the country of the Wind Country, and they were of no substantial use to the queen and her family.

Later, Cheng Guang promised to give the men of their family marquis titles one by one, which calmed down a little.

In all fairness, the queen is a good queen.

This is what Grandpa Zhang has always felt.

This is why this time the queen was in distress, he didn't step on it, but went up to help her.

Because once, the queen also helped him.

Even the queen herself may not remember what happened that time.

The dilapidated speed of the cold palace was even faster than he thought.

It was already dilapidated, and now there are so many "households" that the rate of consumption is increasing exponentially.

Cheng Guang also has no plans to renovate the cold palace, which can be said to have become a slum-like existence in the palace.

As soon as he entered the cold palace, Gonggong Zhang smelled a strong smell of decay.

He had a sense of foreboding.

Shaking off the dust, he quickened his pace.

Cheng Guang gave him half an hour and asked him to take back the queen's edict and phoenix seal.

He didn't dare to squeak, kowtowed and came out.

"Anyone?"

His voice had been burned out many years ago, so it had always been shrill and soft.

There was no one around.

He didn't know which temple the queen lived in.

"Is anyone there?"

It's cold, dark and quiet.

There was almost deathly silence.

He could even hear the cries of rats.

The voice was even more so loud that goosebumps were all over his body.

"Excuse me...... Someone ......"

"Who is my father-in-law looking for?"

A face as pale as a female ghost peeked out from behind the door.

"Ouch mom...... Scared me to death..... that, girl, do you know where Su Dai lives ..... the queen?"

"Did you just come in before?"

"Yes..... it should be. ”

Father-in-law Zhang didn't dare to look at this girl's face.

Thin, pale, without a hint of popularity.

Long hair roared like straw on her head.

"She's in the inner room...... But when she came back yesterday, she didn't look right...... It's raining, isn't it? I heard her coughing all night, and I didn't sleep well........"

"Hey, it rained yesterday...... I'll go check it out first, thank you, girl......."

"You're welcome. ”

Her chapped lips opened into an ugly smile, "If you can help me say a few kind words to the emperor...... It's not a place for people at all........"

She said as she closed the door.

The cold palace returned to a dead silence.

Father-in-law Zhang looked at the dilapidated gate that had been closed, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

If he could have such ability, then he would not be in the cold palace today.

Go straight to the queen's bedchamber.

"Inside...... Inside......."

He muttered, carefully walking inside.

Because it had just rained, the stone road of the cold palace was covered with moss.

No one cleans it, so it's very slippery to walk on.

When he walked slowly to the inner room of the girl's mouth, he was almost stunned by what he saw.

At the gate, there was a pool of red-soaked liquid.

He didn't have to think about it, he could guess what it was.

"Mother, mother, are you in there?"

He was a little anxious, and shouted as loud as he could.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem........"

He was greeted by a heart-rending cough.

"Is it Grandpa Zhang?"

The door was opened.

Rika stuck out a head.

"Yes, Pear Blossom Girl, I'll ...... I'll take a look at the mother. ”

He couldn't bear to say the purpose of today's trip.

"Thank you, father-in-law, still remember the ........ of my mother"

Rika said that the circles under her eyes were already red.

She wiped the corners of her eyes and opened the door.

"Come in. ”

"Hey, well....... it's ....... at this door."

"It's the mother who coughed up blood yesterday...... I didn't have time to clean up, did I scare my father-in-law?"

"Isn't that ....... Niangniang coughing badly?"

"I started coughing after the rain yesterday, and I have been coughing until now, and there is no sign of improvement........

"Have you ever seen a doctor?"

"People from the hospital too...... Don't come here......."

When Rika said this, her voice was much softer, she lowered her head, a little embarrassed, "Father-in-law, you will go back later, can you grab a few flavors of medicine for Niangniang, and go on like this...... I'm really worried about ....... siss."

"I will. Take me inside and see my mother. ”

Grandpa Zhang looked at the dilapidated house and couldn't bear to look at these almost unsightly pieces of furniture.

"Mother is in there........"

Pear Blossom lowered her head and took Grandpa Zhang inside.

"Ahem..... ahem....ahem......"

The further inside, the louder the cough became.

Grandpa Zhang frowned inadvertently.

This cough sound is really distressing to listen to.

After coughing like this all night, is this body okay?

"Mother, mother. Grandpa Zhang is here......."

Pear blossom carefully pulled open the tattered curtains.

On the old wooden bed, the queen with a sickly face slept.

Compared to yesterday, she looked even worse.

A face that already had no flesh is now even thinner.

She was almost lifeless.

The haggard face was full of sickness.

"Mother, the minion has come to see you........"
