Wen Ru's heart hanging in her throat slowly let go, and she spit out a mouthful of turbid air that had been held for a long time, no matter what, at least this life is still there.

Seeing Wen Rutian's relieved appearance, Ling Ruo didn't say anything, just walked up to Yinzhen and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has become clear so far, everything is Wen Rutian's doing, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Hui, and I ask the emperor to return the justice that Concubine Hui deserves." ”

"I understand!" Yin Zhen looked at her red and swollen eyes with pity, and raised her voice: "Su Peisheng, pass on my will to the Six Palaces, posthumously crown Concubine Hui Wen as Huixian Guifei, and mourn with Guifei ceremony!" ”

"The slave receives the emperor's will!" In the intention of agreeing, Su Peisheng walked quickly to the outside of Yanxi Palace and said loudly: "Spread the emperor's will, tell the six palaces, posthumously seal Huifei Wen as Huixian and concubine, and mourn with the concubine ceremony!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the distance picked up and recounted it, and it spread one after another, until it spread throughout the Forbidden City.

The night, like a big net, will be everyone in it, Yanxi Palace is covered with white, everywhere are white curtains and spirit flags, filled with desolation, in addition to the low-level concubines, Hongli according to Yinzhen's order, for Wen Ruyan to wear linen and filial piety, as a filial piety. Three days later, with the imperial concubine ceremony, the coffin was moved and buried.

Everything seems to be over, the palace has regained tranquility again, as if nothing happened, Yinzhen is still busy with court affairs all day long, Nala sits in Kunning Palace, and Liu stays in Changmingxuan to raise the fetus with peace of mind, without the scourge of red participation in safflower, her dragon fetus is becoming more and more stable day by day, and Begonia can continue to stay by Liu's side after being beaten.

Is it all over? No, it's far from ......

With the passing of August, the weather is getting colder and colder, especially in the morning and evening, the palace people have changed into thin cotton clothes, and when they get up in the morning, they can always see a thin layer of hoarfrost.

And in such a cold, the green in the palace is getting less and less, and the season of ten thousand trees has really come.

On this day, Ling Ruo was sitting in the courtyard, the sky was cold, there was no ray of sunshine, there was a chessboard in front of Ling Ruo, she had been sitting for a long time, but there was not a single piece on the chessboard. A cold wind blew, Shui Xiu, who was standing behind her, shivered, she rubbed her red nose, and said without worry: "Master, it's cold outside, why don't you help the slave and maid help you in?" ”

"No, Hongu wants to sit a little longer." Looking down, a black chess piece appears on the fingertip.

"But it's so cold outside, master, you ......" Shui Xiu was still about to be persuaded, Ling Ruo had already raised his hand and said, "If you feel cold, just go in by yourself." ”

Shui Xiu heard the dislike in her words, and didn't dare to persuade again, so she just stood quietly behind, until it was nearly dusk, Ling Ruofang stood up, looked back and saw that Shui Xiu was still standing, and said suddenly: "Didn't you go in?" ”

"The master is still here, how dare the slave and maid go in alone." Saying this, he suddenly sneezed, and Shui Xiu hurriedly wiped away the nose that accidentally flowed out.

Ling Ruo shook his head, a hint of a smile appeared on his face, "I obviously feel cold, why should I be wronged to follow this palace to blow the cold wind here?" ”

Ling Ruo waited for a long time and didn't hear Shui Xiu's answer, and when he saw Shui Xiu staring at him in a daze, he couldn't help but say strangely: "What's the matter, is there something on Bengong's face?" ”

Shui Xiu came back to her senses and quickly shook her head, "No, it's just that the slave hasn't seen the master smile for a long time." Seeing Ling Ruo's expression, she suddenly came back to her senses and rubbed the corners of her clothes uneasily, "I'm sorry, master...... Slave ......"

"There's nothing wrong with this palace." Ling Ruo closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Concubine Huixian is already gone, this is an indisputable fact, even if this palace is sad and sad, she will not come back." ”

"It's best if the master can figure it out." Shui Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, since the death of Concubine Huixian, the master has been depressed, and when he didn't show his face, even the emperor took the time to see the master, which was like this, so that the emperor and them were all slaves, and I don't know when the master will be able to get out of this shadow.

At that time, Yang Hai walked out, still holding a cloak of blue water in his hand, covering Ling Ruo's body, and said carefully: "Master, beware of catching a cold." ”

Ling Ruowei nodded, tightened the cloak on his body and said, "Go and get the medicine that Imperial Doctor Xu brought in last time, and then the two of you will go to the cold palace with the main palace." ”

Shui Xiu was slightly startled and said, "What is the master going to do there?" Could it be ......"

Ling Ruo smiled slightly, looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Yes, she has been in the cold palace for so long, and the palace should also go to see her, let's go." Seeing Ling Ruo say this, Yang Hai and the others didn't dare to slack off, so they took the medicine and hurriedly followed Ling Ruo to leave the Chengqian Palace.

The cold palace is located in the most remote corner of the West Sixth Palace, since the Forbidden City was confined, it has been used to depose the concubines who have made mistakes, and anyone who enters here will never take a step unless they die. Some concubines were deposed here at a young age because they made mistakes, because they couldn't stand the hardships and hopelessness of the cold palace, and they had a nervous breakdown, and they went crazy all day long, and those who were not crazy were like puppets, living numbly.

Because too many people have died crazy here, the palace has always regarded the cold palace as a forbidden and ominous place, no one wants to get close to here, the more you go in the direction of the cold palace, the more you can't see people, and occasionally a few people who pass by also bow their heads and leave in a hurry.

When they walked to the cold palace, they saw a big lock hanging on a dilapidated Zhu door, and a little eunuch who was responsible for guarding the gate palace was napping at the door, not noticing Ling Ruo's arrival.

Ling Ruo glanced at Shui Xiu, who walked up knowingly, pushed the little eunuch and said, "Hey, don't sleep, get up quickly." ”

The little eunuch waved his hand in a daze: "Don't make noise, let me sleep again, and call me when the food comes." ”

Shui Xiu couldn't help but smile when he said this, and used a little more force in his hand, and said loudly at the same time: "Concubine Xi is here, are you still sleeping?!" ”

"Come on, come here......" The little eunuch wanted to say that he would come, but suddenly he was full of excitement, and quickly opened his eyes, and saw that Ling Ruo was in front of him, panicked and scared, and quickly knelt on the ground and stammered: "Slave...... The slave asks for peace to Concubine Xi, and the mother is blessed! ”

Ling Ruo didn't say anything more to him, and directly ordered, "Open the lock, this palace will go in." ”

"Huh!" The little eunuch didn't dare to ask more, and quickly took out the key from his arms to unlock the lock, and the palace forbade the waste concubines of the cold palace to go out, but there was no prohibition for people from outside to come in, but no one would usually come to the cold palace, and I didn't know who the rightful and favored Concubine Xi came here to see.

When the mottled cold palace door was pushed open, there was a tooth-squeaking sound, and when the palace door was pushed open, there would be a strange sound inside, some like the sound of birds flapping their wings, and when the door opened wider, Ling Ruo and the others saw a jet-black color rising into the air, and a small piece of it flew towards them, so frightened that Shui Xiu screamed, and the jet black flew over her head.
