"Sole!" Sang Zhi hurriedly called out to her, "I'll wait for you to go out together!" Although he had just brought this girl in on an impulse, Sang Zhi was also worried in his heart. In order not to fall into the hands of others, you have to do a full set of dramas. When she brings people in, she must take them out, otherwise something will really happen, and she is afraid that her life will be lost.

Su Le's footsteps paused, and Sang Zhi thought that she couldn't speak, but who expected her to say "um". Mulberry Branch breathed a sigh of relief. I thought to myself, this grid is still very knowledgeable! Although pretending to be a palace maid to come to Yongshou Palace, this thing is really unreliable.

She was guarding in the courtyard of Yongshou Palace, and after a while, a grandmother came, and she didn't have a good face when she saw her, "No! Our mother-in-law is not so expensive, so she doesn't need these. ”

Sang Zhi hurriedly said, "Where is Mama, Concubine Jing is praying for the emperor here, the most expensive is gold, so you should use the best fresh goods." ”

The mama glanced at her, "You mean to say that I was wrong?" ”

"No, no, no," Sang Zhi rippled in cold sweat, "Mama's words have their own mama's truth, but these melons and fruits can also be the icing on the cake for the mother, which is a beautiful thing, why not accept it?" ”

The grandmother was still in trouble, and suddenly an aunt in her thirties came out of the room, although the grandmother was older than her, she had to salute her, "Miss Jin is good." "It is Concubine Jing's personal maid Jinxiu.

Sang Zhi's heart is lively, although he doesn't know who this brocade girl is, but seeing this situation, this brocade girl is afraid that her status is not low, so she hurriedly took a salute according to her seniority, and said, "I've seen Aunt Jin." ”

Jinxiu glanced at her, "It's a discerning one." She glanced at Mama, who reluctantly took the fruit basket in Mulberry's hand and went into the house.

Mulberry sighed with relief.

Jinxiu smiled and invited her to sit down in the courtyard, but Sang Zhi repeatedly refused, she didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with this Aunt Jin. So Jinxiu sat down, and she stood by herself.

When Jinxiu looked at her again, her eyes became more and more appreciative, "Are you from Chengqian Palace?" ”

"Yes." Mulberry branch lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, like a regular palace maid.

Jinxiu smiled, "It's not long to go, right?" ”

"Yes."

"It's common for new palace maids to be bullied all the time." Jinxiu glanced at her with pity, "Endure this period and get through it." ”

Sang Zhi was grateful, and felt that the Yongshou Palace was not as terrible as everyone described! At least, this Aunt Jin is a good person. She smiled sincerely at Jinxiu, "Thank you Aunt Jin for teaching." ”

Jinxiu sighed, "You're welcome, sit down." I haven't spoken to anyone for a long time, and when I see you falling in love, don't stick to these courtesies. ”

Sang Zhi still refused, so Jinxiu forced her to sit down. He glanced at the girl beside him, and the girl came over with pastries and wine and put them in front of them.

It's good that Sang Zhi doesn't sit down, and when he sits down on an equal footing with Jinxiu, he doesn't have the slightest fear in his heart. As soon as this mental state came out, Jinxiu couldn't help but look at her twice, but Sang Zhi remembered the words of Li Yingrong, the head of the Yeting Palace, and lowered his eyebrows and looked at Jinxiu with his eyes.

Just listen to Jinxiu ask, "Which one are you from?" Who else is in the house? ”

Sang Zhi didn't know anything about this, but he didn't dare not answer, so he said indiscriminately, "Zhenghuangqi is clothed, and there is no one at home." ”

"Blame the poor thing." Jinxiu looked at her lovingly, and handed her a piece of osmanthus cake, "Taste it." ”

Sang Zhi got up and thanked him, not daring to accept it. It's too rude to talk and eat in front of your elders. Even if there were no rules in the court, mulberry branches would never be eaten. But he could not fail to accept the reward, so he took it in his hand and did not eat it.

Jinxiu pulled her to sit down again, "Don't be formal." I see you pitiful and feel sorry for you. You've been walking for a long time from Chengqian Palace to here, right? Jinxiu poured her a glass of water, "Aren't you tired and thirsty?" There are no outsiders here in our Yongshou Palace, don't be afraid, there is food and drink here, you can eat, drink. ”

He motioned for her to eat the pastry, and brought her a glass of water. Sang Zhi's heart was hot, and he looked at Jinxiu with emotion, "Thank you, Aunt Jin." ”

But in the end, I didn't dare to be too unruly, so I took a small sip of saliva and moistened my throat. She was indeed tired and thirsty. Jinxiu watched her drink water and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. ”

Mulberry took a bite of the pastry.

Jinxiu sighed, "I've never seen a new palace maid like you-" She spoke, her eyes were full of appreciation, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a figure, "Aunt Jin! ”

It turned out to be Sole.

When Sang Zhi saw her come out, he was overjoyed, "Sule." But when he didn't realize that he was calling this name, Jinxiu's face instantly became gloomy.

Sol hurriedly walked over, snatched the pastry from her hand and threw it on the table, "Let's go." She took Mulberry's hand and left. Sang Zhi didn't know why, but suddenly heard a cold voice behind him, "Sule." ”

Su Le, who was beside him, didn't turn his head back, still holding Sang Zhi's hand, "Go." ”

Sang Zhi glanced back, the person standing at the door was not Concubine Jing? is indeed good-looking, about the same age as Jinxiu, but he is cold and depressed.

She was in a trance, when she was suddenly stopped by Surle. When they looked up, it was Jinxiu who stopped them, looking at Surle timidly.

Surle squeezed her hand, "I asked her to bring me in, and I'm going out with her." She clenched the mulberry branch's hand and looked at the splendid splendor. After a while, a cold sweat began to break out on Jinxiu's forehead, and she looked past the two in front of her and cast her gaze at Concubine Jing behind them.

Su Le didn't care so much, and paced without hurrying with the mulberry branches. Jinxiu didn't dare to stop it. Out of the Yongshou Palace, the little eunuch guarding the door saw them come out and greeted them as usual. But after walking a few steps, Sang Zhi suddenly felt colic in his abdomen and dizzy with a headache. As soon as her feet went limp, she fell on top of Sole.

Surle held her up and called softly, "Mulberry branches? ”

Sang Zhi didn't know whether to cover his stomach or hold his forehead, so he smiled reluctantly, "I don't know why, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable." ”

Surle was silent, "I'll take you to the Imperial Doctor." ”

"No need," Sang Zhi refused, "I have to go back to my life." She frowned and said, "Maybe I got cold last night, and I walked too much today, so it should be fine." Chengqian Palace is too far away from here, and if you don't go back, you're afraid that you will be punished. ”

"Chengqian Palace......" Su Le's eyes changed, and the hand holding her loosened, "too." ”

Sang Zhi barely stood still and muttered, "Why are you suddenly so strict?" It was fine all day. Her body was so weak that she seemed to be unable to stand. Surle held her again, "I'll send you back." She actually carried the mulberry branch to the direction of the Longfu Gate leading to the Jiaotai Palace, and the bluffing mulberry branch hurriedly held down her hand, "How can the Jiaotai Palace go indiscriminately?" ”

Jiaotai Palace is one of the three palaces after the inner court, the front is the Qianqing Palace, the back is the Kunning Palace, it is the place where the emperor and the concubines live and live, when the emperor is married, the queen's canonization, Bao'an is set up in the palace on the left and right cases. This place is most heavily guarded, and you can't move around at will. Sang Zhi's face was pale, and he said helplessly, "My identity, I can't go there." ”

She thought that even if Su Le was a Gege, he would be punished if he went to the Hou San Palace without an edict. If she is a little palace maid who comes and goes at will, isn't she looking for death! Moreover, the guards at Longfu Gate are not vegetarians, so how could they let them in. Why bother to find sin in vain.

Su Le seemed to have just come back to his senses, paused to look at the mulberry branch, and suddenly asked, "Did you just drink water in addition to the pastry?" ”

"Take a sip." After Sang Zhi finished speaking, his heart was shocked, and he looked at Su Le in disbelief. Soller lowered his eyes and didn't look at her, "Spit it out." ”

Sang Zhi's body stiffened, unbelievable. Listening to Soler's tone, there was a problem with what she ate and drank just now? Sang Zhi really couldn't believe that Aunt Jin was smiling at her, and she was secretly poisoned? She couldn't stop shaking, but she didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly put her hand up her throat and vomited. When she was about to vomit her bitter gall out, the pain in her body eased.

However, Rao is like this, and Sang Zhi is also so frightened that his soul is not possessed. Just now, I just thought that I was suffering from a cold, and I didn't think about poisoning at all, but I never expected that I would be so quietly closed in the ghost gate! She glanced at Sule, if it weren't for Sule's compassion, she only ate a little bit of it in a restrained manner, otherwise she would definitely eat the pastry and drink enough water in Aunt Jin's smiling face, maybe she would have died on the spot.

"For ...... Why ......" Sang Zhi collapsed, "I didn't do anything......" she fell to the ground.

Solle looked at her and was silent.

Mulberry Branch suddenly came to his senses and looked at Surle sharply - because of this girl?! Yes, yes! Sang Zhi thought to himself that Su Le was not a palace maid, maybe because she violated the palace rules or lost royal face by pretending to be a palace maid, so she wanted to kill the insider. Sang Zhi's heart was as cold as freezing on a cold day, so dangerous, so dangerous, she almost died inexplicably without even noticing it.

This deep palace, this inner court, this damn Qing Dynasty, killing people without seeing blood, human life is as thin as paper, is there anything more terrible than here?! Sang Zhi's throat was tight, and he only felt that his mind was chaotic. She didn't say a word, and after a while, she reluctantly smiled at Sule, "It's not too early, I should go back." ”

Surler watched as she staggered to her feet, fading out of sight.

The sky gradually darkened, and Sang Zhi tightened the clothes on his body, but he still felt chills all over. There really is no room for willfulness in the court. She looked up at the long and oppressive towering city walls, and for the first time felt that this Forbidden City was a terrifying and huge beast, locking and trapping the people inside, making people lose hope.

Murder is silent, and death is nameless. A qiē is going on quietly, life and death, good and evil, under the grand prosperity hides a lot of white bones and a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, and a bloody wind.

The mulberry branch lowered his eyes and covered his feelings. She finally knew that she had underestimated the danger and brutality of the city.
