170. Chapter 170: Into the Cold Palace
During the time when Gonggong Lu went to pass on the lotus painting, the Yongning Palace was so quiet that even the sound of needles falling to the ground could be heard.
Concubine Yu knelt there alone, her expression changed from the initial wry smile to indifference.
Soon, Grandpa Lu ran in and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good! ”
"What?" Bailiyan asked, and Gonggong Lu rested for a while before he said, "The lotus painting has been extinguished." ”
"What?" Bailiyan stood up incredulously and pointed at the Jade Concubine, "You still dare to kill people?" ”
It wasn't the lotus painting on duty last night.,The lotus painting went back to rest early.,It's only one night.,The lotus painting was killed?
People have feelings, not to mention that the lotus painting has been by the side of Concubine Yu for so many years, at this time, hearing the news, Concubine Yu was sad.
In the face of Bailiyan's accusations, as well as the look of the queen and Concubine Yan watching the show, Concubine Yu had a hard time arguing, so she simply didn't argue, and the palace maid of the Shangyi Bureau said that the lotus painting took the drawings over, and now, the lotus painting died, and there was no proof of death.
It's a conspiracy, a great conspiracy.
If she confesses this sin, she will admit it, and if she doesn't admit it, she will admit it.
"Concubine Yu, what else do you have to say?" Baili Yan's words were stern, and Concubine Yu shook her head weakly, and said softly: "The concubine has nothing to say." ”
"Come on, send the Jade Concubine into the cold palace, and no one is allowed to visit."
Bailiyan gave an order, except for the queen mother's heavy expression, the queen and Concubine Yan both lowered their heads and snickered, and when their heads were raised, they returned to their strict appearance.
"Your Majesty, is this punishment too severe?" Although the Queen Mother was disappointed in Concubine Yu, she was not a hard-hearted person, and at this time, looking at Concubine Yu's heart like ashes, she felt sympathy.
The queen smiled: "Queen Mother, this private phoenix robe is a crime committed below, and it is light to enter the cold palace." ”
Concubine Yan smiled coquettishly and said: "Sister is right, this private phoenix robe is not a small crime, and it means to despise the emperor, the emperor is kind enough to send her into the cold palace, if she is severely punished, I am afraid that she will be punished by the nine clans." ”
The Queen Mother looked at the queen and Concubine Yan and asked, "When did you two become so together?" ”
When the queen and Concubine Yan were said like this, they bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak again, and the queen mother said: "Zhulian Nine Clans? Do you mean that even Feng'er and the emperor are going to be implicated? ”
When Concubine Yan heard this, she knew that she had spoken too much, so she quickly knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, Erchen didn't mean that. ”
Concubine Yu glanced at Concubine Yan who was kneeling next to her, and snorted softly, although she has no quarrel with the world, she is not confused, she can see the people and things in this palace better than anyone else, because the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, she is just a bystander, she has no intention of being involved, and they insist on pulling her in.
Concubine Yan heard Concubine Yu's cold snort, and glared at Concubine Yu slightly sideways, Concubine Yu was already very calm at this time, turning a blind eye to Concubine Yan's jealous gaze, didn't she just enter the cold palace, but her ears were quiet when she entered the cold palace.
"The queen mother, what the two sisters said is the truth, it is not a pity to die ten times with the crime of the concubine, the emperor will take care of the old love and send the concubine into the cold palace, and the concubine will thank the lord Longen." After Concubine Yu finished smiling, she kowtowed to thank her, and then said to Hou Hou's guard in the rear, "Let's go!" ”
The guards bowed their heads and let Concubine Yu walk in front, and then a group of several people escorted Concubine Yu to the cold palace.
Concubine Yan was still kneeling on the ground, and she didn't dare to get up without the orders of Bailiyan and the Queen Mother.
"Alas! What kind of trouble is this? The Queen Mother sighed, "Seeing that Feng'er is about to accept a concubine, now something like this has happened." The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly.
Bailiyan glanced at Concubine Yan and said coldly, "You all go back!" ”
The queen and Concubine Yan went out of Yongning Palace together, and the tacit understanding inside disappeared, and only the two were left fighting each other.
Judging from Concubine Yu's reaction, the queen doubted the authenticity of this matter, Concubine Yu has always been cautious in the palace, and it is impossible not to even know the unforgivable thing of doing the phoenix robe privately, the only thing that can be explained is that someone is harming Concubine Yu.
If she didn't hurt her, then it can only be Concubine Yan.
Outside the Yongning Palace, the queen stared straight at Concubine Yan, and Concubine Yan was also not to be outdone, so the two looked at each other.
"What trick do you want to play?" The queen asked, and Concubine Yan smiled proudly: "My sister doesn't understand the meaning of my sister's words, if it comes to playing tricks, my sister has more tricks." ”
After Concubine Yan finished speaking, she walked away.
In front of the gate of the cold palace, Ru Xi waited for a while before seeing Concubine Yu coming over under the escort of the guards.
Concubine Yu raised her head and looked at Ru Xi standing in front of the cold palace from a distance, a trace of surprise flashed on her calm face, Ru Xi smiled faintly, and said to Qingliu behind her: "You take someone in first to clean up." ”
Aoyagi nodded, and led the six palace maids into the cold palace.
"Jade Concubine Niangniang, please!" Seeing that Concubine Yu was stagnant, the guard pointed to the gate of the cold palace and reminded.
"The people have been delivered, you all go back!" Ru Xi said, and helped Concubine Yu into the cold palace.
Concubine Yu just let Ru Xi hold on to her, and she didn't ask why.
The concubines of the emperor who were beaten into the cold palace were all the emperor's concubines, some of them were the concubines of the first emperor, and some of them entered here at a very young age and spent the second half of their lives here.
Some people go crazy because they can't stand the coldness of the cold palace.
Seeing that another newcomer came in, the women of the cold palace came over one after another, and one of them recognized the jade concubine and mocked: "Isn't this the emperor's favorite jade concubine?" It was actually sent here? ”
Everyone else followed suit, rejoicing in the calamity.
Concubine Yu looked at them calmly, and did not get angry because of their schadenfreude, but said with a smile: "The love of the emperor is the most unreliable love in this world, one moment can spoil a woman to heaven, and the next moment can also make a woman go to hell." ”
Concubine Yu's words seemed to resonate with everyone, and her expression of schadenfreude disappeared, and they all changed to the expressions of people who were also fallen from the cliff, and left with a sigh of lamentation.
Ru Xi helped Concubine Yu to the innermost courtyard of the Cold Palace, which was independent.
As far as the eye can see, except that it is more spacious than the others, it is no different from the rest of the place, it is all deserted.
Because it has been uninhabited for many years, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and the house is covered with cobwebs and dust.
Aoyagi and the six palace maids cleaned up, and finally cleared the weeds in the courtyard, Aoyagi made tea and asked Ru Xi and Concubine Yu to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.
"Niangniang will sit down for a while, and then you will enter the house when we have cleaned up the house." Aoyagi put down the teapot and teacup, and led the palace ladies into the house.
Ru Xi filled two cups of tea, one to Concubine Yu and one to herself, Concubine Yu watched her every move and said, "I am just a stranger to you, why do you do this?" ”
