Chapter 471: Cold Palace
She wanted to tell Huo Lingxi that it was not worth it for a little palace maid like her, and she didn't want Huo Lingxi to live in regret for the rest of her life.
But her voice was too weak, so weak that even if the eunuch with the palm mouth stopped after Huo Lingxi agreed to go to the cold palace, her voice could not reach Huo Lingxi's ears, it was possible that Huo Lingxi heard it, but she deliberately pretended not to hear it in order not to let Forsythia think too much.
"Concubine Rhino, please go with the old slave." There was no need for Dugucheng's signal, the two old eunuchs who were originally palms consciously stepped forward to take Huo Lingxi to the cold palace, and took her away by the way when they passed by Forsythia who fell to the ground.
Huo Lingxi followed them out of the hall, only to find that it was already late at night, except for the cries of insects hidden in the grass, there was no other sound around, the silence was terrible, and the thick night seemed to swallow people before they stopped.
The four of them walked on the way to the cold palace by the dim light of a palace lamp, and the road closer to the cold palace became, until when they reached the gate of the cold palace, the path was so narrow that only one person could pass at a time.
After the two eunuchs took Huo Lingxi and Forsythia to the overgrown door of the cold palace, they planned to leave, and finally said something quite humane before leaving: "The slaves sent the rhino concubine here, and the minions are also obedient to the order, and I hope that the rhino concubine will not hold a grudge." β
Of course, Huo Lingxi knew that they were just following orders, but sometimes it was wrong to follow the wrong master.
Although he didn't care about this kind of thing in his heart, he still had to pretend on the surface, Huo Lingxi said goodbye to them with an easy-going face, and then turned around and picked up the forsythia who was resting against the wall and walked towards the cold palace.
The small wooden door of the cold palace, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was pushed open by Huo Lingxi with a gentle push, and it also made a huge "moan" sound, which was particularly terrifying in the silent night.
Stepping into the small wooden door, they found that the yard was full of weeds as tall as an adult's calf, and they didn't know where to flood the aisle.
The two supported each other and walked into this "sea of grass", groping along the way, for fear that they would accidentally step on the body of a small animal under their feet.
"Forsythia, do you think this cold palace will be haunted...... "God is pitiful, our famous female general in his previous life is not afraid of heaven and earth, the only thing he is afraid of is the demons and monsters in those supernatural stories.
It's no wonder that Huo Lingxi is suspicious, after all, in this cold palace where no one has come for several years, which place is not dark and dilapidated, it is said that the ghost's favorite is this kind of environment, plus there is a yin wind from time to time, and the eating effect is better with the stories of the crazy concubines in the cold palace in various dynasties.
Forsythia glanced at her master speechlessly, if it weren't for the fact that her face was so swollen that her head couldn't move at all, she would definitely give Huo Lingxi a roll of the eyes, she was really worried about when her master, who likes to scare herself from time to time, will get better.
"Mother-"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away, startling Huo Lingxi with goosebumps all over his body in an instant. If he hadn't turned around and found that the shadow was a little familiar, Huo Lingxi might have picked up a stone on the spot and smashed it over.
As the figure got closer and closer, Huo Lingxi realized that it was Poria that she had arranged to stay behind in the palace. "Poria, how did you know we were here? What are you doing here in the middle of the night? β
"Niangniang, don't you know, now that you were demoted to the cold palace for poisoning the crown prince, the whole palace has spread all over the palace.
As for the reason why I came here, of course, I came to send you something, I was afraid that you would have nothing here, so I prepared two bedding, and I also heard that Sister Forsythia was slapped in the mouth, and her face was really swollen, so I also brought some medicine to reduce swelling, I hope it can be useful. By the way, I also brought some pastries to cushion your stomach. β
Poria counted the things she brought, and Huo Lingxi and Forsythia were both moved.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few hours, how do we do things so orderly, it's really 'Shibei should be impressed for three days'. How's it going, nothing happened in the palace, right? Ahemβ"
Huo Lingxi took the pastry box handed over by Poria, quickly opened it and stuffed a piece of pastry for himself and Forsythia, while asking about the things in the palace after he left, because he ate too quickly, the pastry almost choked his throat.
Poria put down the futon in her hand and gave Huo Lingxi a smooth back, for fear that she would choke on eating pastries, she answered Huo Lingxi's question while giving Huo Lingxi a smooth breath.
"After you and Sister Forsythia left, I checked all corners of your palace again according to your instructions, and sure enough, I found that there were several hidden places where people had put things, and they were all related to several conspiracies in the harem before, and the other party must have wanted to blame you for all this. But fortunately, you let us check it, and we heard that you were sent to the cold palace as soon as we cleaned up those things, and before we could recover our senses, a group of guards immediately searched in the name of the emperor. β
"Tsk, that's exactly what I expected." Huo Lingxi ate the last bite of pastry in his hand, and immediately began to give the eviction order: "Okay, it's so late today, you can go back and rest early, if there is anything in the palace, please let you deal with it." Oh, by the way, you should not come here if there is nothing to do in the future, after all, there are many people. β
"Yes, sis. The slave and maid have bought a small eunuch in the vicinity, and if you need anything, just let him inform the slave and maid. β
Despite her reluctance, Poria left with a look of wanting to say something.

After watching Poria leave, Huo Lingxi took Forsythia and sat down on the stone table in the only pavilion in the courtyard of the Cold Palace, planning to take medicine for Forsythia before cleaning up the place where he stayed tonight.
"Hiss-" Obviously, Huo Lingxi had tried his best to gently medicate forsythia, but he still made forsythia exhale in pain from time to time.
