Chapter 61: Long Song: The Emperor is Ruthless
It's winter, it's freezing cold, freezing into the bone marrow on nine cold days, and it feels uncomfortable just stretching out your hand to go outside, not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs walking outside.
"Hurry up, don't grind." The great eunuch urged several palace maids behind him, he was wearing a heavy winter coat, his hands were stuffed into the hand cage, and a hat was on his head, so shrunk that he couldn't even see his neck, and as soon as he opened his mouth again, the heat made his face invisible.
Sumire wanted to laugh when she saw it, but she couldn't laugh, she was like the other palace maids who accompanied her, and she only wore a single coat under her thin coat, so although it was easy to move, it was extremely cold.
They were resting today, the big eunuch suddenly called them over, and also ordered them to wear the best clothes, although the violet was puzzled, she still wore a bright one, but as soon as she went out, she regretted it, what did she do with so little on this cold day, especially the big eunuch also took them to most of the palace.
They bid farewell to the queen from the lively Cheng'en Palace, and went west, and there were no concubines and guards on the road to ask questions, and suddenly only they were left in the huge palace, as if walking on the outskirts of the wilderness. The further west you go, the more remote it becomes, the vermilion palace wall is unattended, peeling off the bottom, giving birth to a trace of desolation, and the companion of the violet communicates with the violet, and the expression on the face is not very good.
This is going to the cold palace.
"Where are we going?" Sumire opened her mouth purple, and asked the big eunuch in front of her.
"Go see off a nobleman." The big eunuch glanced at Sumire, stopped in front of the palace gate, didn't move anything, and then turned his mouth on Nuri's head, "Open the door." β
Sumire doesn't know the words, she doesn't know what words are inscribed on the plaque of the palace gate, only that the vermilion paint on the palace gate has fallen off, and no one called them when they came, guessing that it should be a cold palace.
Who lives in the cold palace?
Sumire thought about this in her mind, and her companions would always talk a few words before going to bed every night, and their topics were inseparable from the women in the palace and harem.
They said that the most favored woman in the harem was Concubine Wen, and the limelight overshadowed the queen, and the emperor favored Concubine Wen very much, and every time she was rewarded, she was enough for them to eat for a lifetime.
Besides, Concubine Wen is gentle and gentle, never beating and scolding subordinates, if anyone can work in Concubine Wen, it is the ancestors who have smoked.
But in the past, before Sumse entered the palace, there was a favored Concubine Wen in the harem, and after Sumse became a palace maid, there was no Concubine Wen in the harem, she was like a flower that finally bloomed, and was thrown out of the garden by the emperor.
Concubine Wen's family rebelled, the Wen family was punished by the nine clans, the old and weak women and children were not spared, Concubine Wen herself after learning the news, she went crazy that night, from a gentle and virtuous Concubine Wen to a crazy mother-in-law, the emperor cut off Concubine Wen's title and sent her to the cold palace.
What about the Six Princes? Sumire asked her companion, she heard that the sixth prince is Concubine Wen's child, such a big thing happened to the Wen family, and Concubine Wen herself is crazy again, what should the six princes do?
Not spoiled. The companion wrote lightly, there are many things in this palace that praise the high and the low, the six princes lose power, and the palace people naturally snub the six princes.
Didn't you send winter clothes to the six princes a few days ago, how is the material of this clothes?
Much worse. Sumire touched the clothes, they were light and thin, there was not much cotton in them, and the material was not easy to touch, not like it was for a prince, but more like it was for their subordinates.
She had seen the Six Princes, and when the clothes were sent over, the Six Princes slept on the desk, pressed a large pile of paper with words under their arms, and rubbed their eyes when they saw that they were coming, and got up, took the winter clothes with their own hands, and continued to write on the paper.
What about the people around him? Sumire thought.
"Let's go inside." The voice of the great eunuch interrupted Sumire's memories, and Sumire regained her senses, raised her eyes and peeked into the hall, only to see a person vaguely.
"I've seen Concubine Wen." When the big eunuch saw the man, he saluted her, just like Concubine Wen, who knelt down and worshiped her in the past.
"Get up." Concubine Wen's voice is very beautiful, soft and soft, but it does not lose its style, reminding people of the spring breeze in March.
"The emperor sent you." Concubine Wen asked the great eunuch.
"Exactly." The eldest eunuch replied, and wondered in his heart, saying that Concubine Wen was crazy, and he had also seen Concubine Wen crazy, why did he see it today, and he didn't see any abnormality. The great eunuch was a little emboldened to look up.
I saw Concubine Wen standing on the steps in a pink suit, her hair was carefully taken care of, she took a golden hairpin hairpin, and smeared a faint rouge on her face, just like back then. But when the big eunuch looked down again, he saw Concubine Wen standing barefoot in the snow, her feet red from the cold.
It's still that Concubine Wen, and it's still that madman.
"The emperor is still thinking of me." Concubine Wen smiled brightly, this smile was extremely moving, just like when she entered the palace, young and lively, she quickly ran down the steps with her skirt, and came to the big eunuch and asked him, "What did the emperor bring me?" β
The big eunuch's heart beat, and the medicine bottle hidden in the hand cage was originally warm, but it suddenly became hot, making the big eunuch tremble, and quickly held it and took it out.
Without waiting for the big eunuch to speak, Concubine Wen snatched the medicine bottle, muttered back alone, studied the medicine bottle and said, "Why did the emperor send this thing?" β
This is a crane top red, a highly poisonous thing. The chief eunuch was afraid that Concubine Wen would break the medicine bottle, and regretted giving it to Concubine Wen just now, and when he came, the emperor told him that the people of the Wen family could not stay any longer.
Although Concubine Wen is the emperor's concubine, she is also the daughter of the Wen family, so she should go with the Wen family.
The big eunuch remembered one more thing, he remembered that the Wen family had two daughters, one was Concubine Wen, and the other daughter was missing, and that daughter had disappeared long before the Wen family's accident.
"What the emperor gives can't be wasted." Concubine Wen suddenly pulled out the stopper, and before the big eunuch could react, she swallowed all the medicine in one go, and then glanced at the big eunuch with a smile, wanting to walk towards the other side of the screen.
Hedinghong had a very fast attack, Concubine Wen didn't take a few steps before her body softened, she fell to the ground and couldn't stand up, she used her last strength to crawl towards the screen, she still wanted to see someone again.
"Don't look." Someone covered the eyes of the six princes, and she nodded calmly at Concubine Wen's gaze.
I promise you to take him away from the palace.
"Thank you, sister." Blood overflowed from Concubine Wen's mouth, the great eunuch couldn't hear the last two words clearly, he shuddered at what happened, the palace maids who originally brought to suppress Concubine Wen's feeding medicine were useless, they hid behind the big eunuch, and they didn't even dare to cry.
Seeing that Concubine Wen on the ground had no strength to struggle, the big eunuch came back to his senses and scolded the Sumire in a rage, "What are you crying about, a bunch of waste, don't hurry up and clean it up." β
Sumire was the first to come out, and she walked towards Concubine Wen with the courage to lift the corpse with her companions, but when she squatted down, she found someone standing behind the screen.
This person looks very similar to Concubine Wen, but not like Concubine Wen, she is wearing green clothes on a white background, with a chill in her eyes, and more importantly, there are six princes standing in front of her.
"What a daze." The big eunuch was impatient, he didn't want to stay here, Concubine Wen's strange behavior before she died had a big impact on him, and she just wanted to leave quickly.
"Yes." Sumire retracted her gaze, raised Concubine Wen's arms, and went out with her companions.
It wasn't until the figure of the group of people completely disappeared that he broke free from the shackles of the woman behind him, walked out from behind the screen without saying a word, crossed the threshold, walked to the bluestone steps, walked to the place where Concubine Wen stood, and knelt down.
Meng Yan leaned on the trunk and didn't say anything about Ji Yu's behavior, only lazily and half-lowered her eyes, counting the snowflakes falling in front of her, one, two, three, four......
After reaching the hundreds, Meng Yan walked to Ji Yu's side, "It's time to go." β
"Why didn't you save your mother?" Ji Yu raised his head and asked Meng Yan with red eyes. "Auntie."
"You can't save a man who is bent on death." Meng Yan said that she had a stiff quarrel with the Wen family, and she directly made Wen's father so angry that she was bedridden, and her cheap sister didn't understand herself, so she only accused herself of not being filial.
has always been an idle cloud and wild crane, and it has been a wild goose, and it is inseparable from his family.
Seeing that Ji Yu refused to get up for a long time, Meng Yan directly carried Ji Yu with one hand, and regardless of whether others agreed or not, she flew outside the palace with a big light skill, her posture was graceful and freehand, and the word 'pretending to be forced' was written on her face, suing those masters in the house.
I'm Jean's father.
[This task is very easy, don't raise Ji Yu to be disabled, after all, he is the next emperor, if he is missing an arm and a broken leg, not to mention that he can't be the emperor, your mission will also fail. ] Light ball told sΓΉ Meng Yan, [Your game character this time is Changgemen, please use the game skills solemnly, Qin Dad has not been sharpened. γ
Throwing off the big inner master who ate white rice, Meng Yan threw down Ji Yu on her shoulder, took out a package from the side and threw it to him, and ordered, "Change." β
"What are you going to do?" Bringing himself out of the palace without saying a word, Ji Yu couldn't understand Meng Yan's behavior at all.
Meng Yan took out a piano from behind him, whistled, and heard a horse roar from the woods, and a horse galloped to Meng Yan's side, only to see that it was all fiery red, and it looked like a flame burning in the snow from a distance.
"Didn't your mother tell you?" Meng Yan grabbed the reins, "What am I doing?" β
Ji Yu shook his head, the concubine had never told him about Meng Yan, and he only learned about Meng Yan's existence today.
"Ride the fiercest horse, put the most beautiful girl." The main purpose of her coming to the capital this time was to meet her confidante, Meng Yan turned over and shouted at Ji Yu, "Change your clothes and follow me to the Red Sleeve Courtyard." β
"......" he knows now.
