The night was dark, and in a tattered copper lamp lay a small wick, faintly flame like a bean.

The walls of the crudely muddy brick chamber were empty, and a few tattered straw mats were scattered on the ground, which were dirty.

There were a few wooden mullions erected in the narrow window, a huge spider with a fat belly entrenched in the dense web almost covering the entire window, and a few mosquitoes and flies hung on the spider web and fluttered with the night breeze.

Zangjiao knelt straight on the straw mat with her eyes closed, and after a few hours, her knees were numb and she couldn't feel the pain.

However, in two or three days, the face like a lotus petal has been much thinner, and the cheeks are slightly sunken. Only the eyes that are occasionally opened still have a glow, but more of them are sad and empty.

Guixiang stood behind her, her thick back leaning against the tightly closed wooden door. The fat face has a pair of small bean-like eyes squeezed into a pile of fat meat, as if in order to cover up the panic in his heart, he keeps babbling.

Zangjiao clasped her hands around her, completely lazy to care about what she was nagging, her mind flew away, flew back to her home in Qingxian, flew back to the smiling Yunshu Palace, and flew to the room full of red candles and brocade......

Two lines of tears slowly slipped from the bottom of his eyes, Daddy, Auntie, Lang. Jiao'er may be difficult to see you again in this life, I hope that the second elder is in good health, and the eldest man is filial and intelligent.

In the blur of tears, Zhao Jing's long eyebrows flew, and his handsome appearance appeared in front of him again, smiling and stretching out his hand to call her softly, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao." ”

For some reason, his body became heavier and heavier, and he gradually slid downward. His thoughts blurred, and a strange sound sounded in his ears. Zangjiao fell silently on the straw mat, her head covered with black and green silk covering her pale face.

Guixiang behind her watched Zangjiao fall unconscious to the ground, struggling and hesitating in a pair of bean-like eyes, and her hand gradually reached into her arms and took out a sharp hairpin and held it tightly in her hand. Gently and tentatively called twice: "Jingong people, Jingong people? ”

The people on the ground were silent, only their bodies rose and fell slightly. Guixiang gritted her teeth, moved her short and fat body to approach Zangjiao, stared at her for a moment, and muttered in her mouth: "Jingong people, don't blame me when you get to the Yin Si Difu, blame you for offending the nobles, and you will lose your life tonight." ”

Touching the hot gold bracelet in her arms, Guixiang bit her lip and glared at her fierce eyes, raised the hairpin in her hand and stabbed it at Zangjiao's neck!

The night wind became violent at some point, and the door squeaked loudly, and the spiders in the window had shrunk to a corner and curled up in a ball, only the broken cobwebs swayed in the window lattice.

Zangjiao seemed to feel light in a dream, fluttering off the ground and hanging in the air. With a warm aura lingering on her face, she struggled to wrestle with the heavy eyelids, and suddenly saw a pair of agate-colored eyes as deep as fleeting.

"Lady, lady?" The constant call was noisy in the ears.

Zangjiao frowned and wanted to shake off those voices, but the soreness in her body hit her in bursts, and the pain became clearer and clearer, forcing herself to fight hard, and gradually opened her eyes.

"Oops, the lady woke up." Xiao Dong'er's joyful voice came clearly, a bulging face approached her, and her small eyes with single eyelids were full of joy.

"Lady, you're awake." The bruises on Magnolia's face were clearly imprinted, and she was holding a bowl of hot decoction in her hand. Xiao Dong'er helped Zangjiao to lean on herself, scooped a spoon and stuffed the bitter decoction into her mouth and into her throat.

Zangjiao swallowed the bitter medicine and coughed slightly, her eyes full of confusion: "Sister Yulan, Xiao Dong'er." Why am I here, didn't I kneel last night? ”

Yulan put her finger to her mouth and sighed urgently: "Jiao Niang, do you really know nothing?" ”

Zangjiao looked at them with a nervous and strange expression, and shook her head inexplicably: "I knelt there last night and only felt that my body was heavy, and gradually I didn't know anything." How can you lie in your room? And what about cinnamon? ”

Xiao Dong'er's eyes brought a touch of panic and deep fear: "Guixiang she, she's dead." ”

After drinking a bowl of soup and medicine, Yulan also told Zang Jiao about what happened last night, and they didn't know what happened, only that they slept very sweetly last night, and when they got up early in the morning, they saw Zang Jiao sleeping on the couch with a thin blanket.

And there was chaos outside, and the news came that Guixiang had died on the ground in the provincial house, and I heard that he was holding a sharp hairpin in his hand and piercing deep into his throat, and there was a red gold bracelet on his side covered with blood.

After listening to Yulan's unbelievable story, Zangjiao was full of horror and asked with wide eyes, "Then how did I come back?" Why didn't anyone come to me when something so big happened, and you are here? ”

Xiao Dong'er's small eyes brought greater mystery and doubt, and she leaned in front of Zangjiao and whispered: "When Deacon Qiuyun got up today, he found that his hair had all been shaved, and the shaved hair was placed well next to the pillow and wrapped in a red gold bracelet.

She was so frightened that she was half insane, and she had no hair, and she hid in the house and refused to come out. The lieutenant in charge of the Siyuan Bureau had no choice but to send another Lingzhi Shanggong to take charge of it temporarily. This medicine was also sent by the Lingzhi Shanggong envoy, and he didn't ask anything. ”

A series of unbelievable news was unbelievable, Zangjiao frowned lightly and tried to think about it, but she didn't think of anything, but it made her brain feel a faint pain and had to give up.

Yulan saw that her expression was in a trance, her face was tired and wilted, and she picked up the empty bowl to comfort: "Lingzhi Shanggong said, Jiao Niangzi only cares about giving birth and raising, and it is not too late to work when she is ready." It's not too early, Xiao Dong'er stays in the room to take care of you, I'm going out to work. ”

Zangjiao nodded to her blankly and said thank you Sister Yulan, Yulan took the door and went out, leaving Xiao Dong'er stupidly by Zangjiao's side, moving a wooden stool to support her cheeks and looking at her beautiful face in a daze.

"That's the woman the king wants! Am I not clear enough?! If it hadn't been for someone last night, she would have been dead by this time! She's dead! When the king asks me what I will give him! You bastards! ”

The cold woman's voice was full of anger, and every sentence echoed in the secret room. The two men in black knelt on the ground with their heads bowed: "It was the subordinates who were negligent, I originally thought that the palace would not do it so quickly, who knows..."

"Shut up!! It's obvious that you are stupid and negligent! Dare to shirk! The woman's voice grew more and more angry, and the two men buried their heads low and did not dare to speak.

"Forget it, since someone helped her, it's a good thing. But who was the one who made the shot? The woman restrained her anger and moved behind the black curtain and muttered.

The black-clothed man on the ground said in a low voice: "Could it be Fang Wanyi's person, Changfu and Lu Qi in her palace are both masters, the queen likes Jue Jieyu, Fang Wanyi is the queen's party, and it is unknown to protect her." ”

"Changfu?" The woman whispered a few times and shook her head slowly: "It's not him, my people have been secretly watching, Chang'an of Yunshu Palace went to Zhiting Palace to find Changfu in order to save Jue Jieyu, Changfu rushed to Zhaoyang Palace to see Fang Wanyi, but was kicked out by Concubine Shu's people." Without the orders of his master, he will not act rashly. It won't be him! ”

"This ...... Jue Jieyu has no foundation in the palace, and her father is just a small official in Qingxian County. It's impossible for someone to be guarding in the dark, and the subordinates really can't think of it, don't you think? The man in black asked hesitantly.

"It's not the queen's person, it's not our person, is there anyone else in this palace who is so kind to protect a woman who is down-and-out and degraded as a palace person? It's a little strange to me. The woman obviously couldn't think of a candidate at all, so she had to shake her head.

"Well, whoever it is! The top priority is the empress's condition. I have controlled the amount of medicine very well, and in three or five days at most, the queen should go where she should go.

The king has been waiting for news from me, you two get ready, divide your hands to watch the Jin family, and wait until the queen dies to send a letter to the king. I think it won't be long before Zhao Jing's front harem will be in chaos.

And the much-loved prince is about to become a dead prince, hahahaha! I've had enough of dormant years after so many years!! I'm about to be freed, hahahaha! ”

Bursts of maniacal laughter echoed harshly through the small chamber. The two men in black glanced at each other and silently buried their heads deeper.
