Chapter 8: Suspicion of the Past (2)
The cold palace is actually the Qingzhi Palace in the most remote corner of the palace of the queen of Qi, because it is far away from the palaces and is inaccessible, so it is gradually abandoned, and later the king of Qi simply confined it up and used it to imprison the concubines and concubines who are not guilty of death. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, Yun Xi's mother Mrs. Song is there, and Yun Yun has also inquired sideways, the palace people who have been sent by Yun Hui in the past year are either half crazy and half stupid, or have already died of illness, as for Mrs. Song, the new and old diseases are combined, and she is even more bedridden, staying in the house all day.
Speaking of Mrs. Song, in Yun Yun's impression, she is always gentle and obedient, compared with the queen mother, as dim as the stars on the edge of the bright moon, she never deliberately pleases her father, and she is also respectful to herself everywhere, Yun Yun feels that she is not like a harem concubine, but more like an ordinary maid palace person.
In the early summer night, the cicadas chirped endlessly, fortunately, the evening breeze blew people's hearts extremely clear, Yun Yun traveled all the way to be extraordinarily smooth, until the gate of the Qingzhi Palace, there was no half shadow of the guards, Yun Yun was a little puzzled, and suddenly heard a small laugh in the distance; Yun Yun tiptoed to find out, it turned out that the guards had nothing to do but gathered together to eat, drink and gamble, thinking that the errand of guarding the cold palace was particularly boring, and the long night could only be passed by themselves. They were so derelict in their duties as Yun Yun intended, Yun Yun looked around and crept in.
Yun Yun had already found a map of Qingzheng Palace to study, because Mrs. Song was the concubine of her father, so she was placed in the palace room on the east side, and the cold palace was not welcomed, and the guards guarding outside the wall were so lazy, not to mention the palace people on duty inside, and now they don't know where to hide and sleep; Looking at this huge palace again, it is like a deserted tomb, dead and silent, revealing the coldness of the forest.
Yun Yun soon found Mrs. Song's residence, there was a dim light in the room, and a cough sounded from time to time, listening to the sound was clearly sick to the heart and lungs, Yun Yun felt a little uncomfortable. Then pushed the door in, the palace room was even more shabby and dilapidated than she imagined, and the palace room was dark all the year round, and there was a musty smell and a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and the two were really pungent mixed together.
Yun Yun's rash intrusion, so shocked that Xiaoyu sprinkled most of the soup in the bowl, and when he saw the people who came, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't want to salute for a while, but he was still holding the medicine bowl in his hand, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he couldn't spit out half a word with his mouth open. Mrs. Song felt the abnormality of the outhouse in the room, and couldn't help but lean out to look out, and at this look, she even stopped coughing, and only said in surprise, "Princess, you—you," Yun Yun knew that she must have thought she was dead.
Xiao Yu hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, hurriedly closed the door and went out, staying outside the house for fear of being seen by someone, although she also knew that no one would come at this time.
Where can Mrs. Song still sit still, regardless of her illness and haggard appearance, disheveled, only rushed towards Yunyun, her voice choked, "It's really a princess, it's great, the princess is still alive, but, didn't they say that you are already dead," and then wept, "It's really God's blessing, if the king and the prince have knowledge, they will rest in peace." Speaking of his father and brother, Yun Yun was also sad.
Although Mrs. Song is not a person with a stunning appearance, she is also a temperamental, and what she is most proud of is a green silk, the black skin lined with white skin is quite charming, but the middle-aged woman in front of her is described as withered, her face is sallow, and her hair is full of green silk and is yellow and messy, where is there still half a beautiful appearance in the past, it can be seen that this Qingzhi Palace is really not a place for people to stay. Yun Yun helped Mrs. Song sit down and sighed, "I really wanted to die at that time, but I didn't expect Master to save me again." ”
Mrs. Song couldn't be clearer about Yunyun's matter, she said it so simply, how could she not know the embarrassment in it. "Since Lord Yin Gu saved you, why don't you stay with him and come back here to do something? Don't let down your master's hard work. With that, Mrs. Song sighed faintly.
"He killed my father, king, and brother, how can I not take revenge?" Yun Yun said very seriously, "Only by killing him can we comfort their spirits in the sky!" ”
Except for Master, she didn't tell anyone that she was going to kill Yun Xuan, but now that she was so frank with Mrs. Song, she trusted Mrs. Song and wanted Mrs. Song to cooperate with her. She thought about it and asked bluntly, "That day of the mutiny, Yun Xi happened to go out, so he escaped a catastrophe, and then there was no news, and there were even rumors that he had been killed by mistake in the chaos, I don't believe this statement, I just want to ask Mrs. if there is Yun Xi's whereabouts?" You might as well say bluntly to Madame, Yun Xi is the only bloodline of my father, I am bound to protect him thoroughly, if there is still a possibility in the future, the position of King Qi can only be sat by Yun Xi, does Madam understand? ”
Yun Yun said earnestly, for fear that Mrs. Song would prevaricate herself.
Mrs. Song bowed her head and was silent, Yun Yun was not in a hurry, but Yun Yun also understood her difficulties, after all, Yun Xi was her only child, and she was more afraid than herself that Yun Xi's traces would be killed if they leaked. That was the only reason to keep her alive now, and she didn't want to miss any more. Yun Yun knew that it would be difficult for her to make up her mind for a while, after all, she was in danger now, and her steps were difficult, and she had no bargaining chips to reassure Mrs. Song. She thought for a moment, "I know that Madame is reluctant to let Yun Xi put herself in danger, and even the lady of the throne doesn't look at it, she just wants Yun Xi to live safely." ”
"I-" Mrs. Song was a little cramped.
"Madame never cared about whether her father was favored or not, and now she will not risk it for the ethereal throne, but now she is living like this, but she has not seen Yun Xi for the last time, and she can't bear to leave him alone, Madame is a good mother, unlike my queen mother," Yun Yun hung her head in frustration.
The king and the prince were killed, the princess committed suicide, but the queen was willing to surrender, and outsiders would feel contemptible, but in this world, ants are still stealing, as powerless women, they can't even control their own fate, what can they do when they encounter such a thing? In order to save one's life, there is no shame in living even in humiliation. Mrs. Song wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said, "Princess, it is not easy for the queen, you must also be considerate of her." ”
Yun Yun didn't want to talk about the queen mother anymore, thinking that she wouldn't be able to ask Yun Xi's whereabouts today, and it had been a long time since she came out, and it would be dangerous to be found if she didn't go back, so she stood up and said simply, "Madame's illness is very serious, but don't worry, when I come to see Madame next time, I will bring some medicinal herbs over, Madame just needs to relax and take care of it and get better as soon as possible, otherwise Yun Xi will definitely feel distressed when she sees it." I've been out for a long time, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid that there will be trouble, and now I have to go back, Madame should take care! ”
Seeing that Mrs. Song didn't stay, she was about to leave, and she was about to go out, only to hear Mrs. Song behind her, "I really don't know where he is now, but I heard that there is a medical hall opened by a doctor thirty miles outside the city, and he said that he would go there to find a good medicine for me to treat asthma." But I never saw him again, and if he still had a place to go, it would only be the Jingjun Juyou Teahouse. ”
Yun Yun stopped and turned around, nodded, and left.
Xiaoyu sent Yun Yun away.
Mrs. Song stood in the empty room, looked out the window at the melting night, and sighed, Princess, you really shouldn't come back!
