Chapter 958: Chess Pieces
"What is this?" Shui Xiu grabbed Yang Hai's palm next to him and asked with palpitations.
Ling Ruo replied coldly, "It's a crow!" β
"Mother is right, crows like to stop in the yard, and every time they open the door, they will fly away, but after a while they will stop again." The little eunuch explained while leading Ling Ruo and the others inside, and at this time, the coldness and dilapidation of the cold palace were completely revealed in front of Ling Ruo's eyes.
The cold palace is very large, almost the size of a Chengqian Palace, but it is absolutely impossible to be as exquisite and luxurious as the Chengqian Palace, there are houses that are about to collapse everywhere, there are several roof tiles that have been dumped down, broken into several pieces on the ground, and thrown on the ground like this, and no one can clean it up, bird feces can be seen everywhere on the ground, some women who describe withered women walking around the courtyard like wandering spirits, there is a piece of unbuttoned clothes, revealing a large piece of dry skin outside, in their eyes, Ling Ruo can not see a trace of life.
"Why do crows like to stay in the cold palace so much?" After a few moments of talking, a crow had stopped on a tree that had lost its leaves.
Ling Ruo stopped and turned around and said, "If you know what the crows like to eat the most, you will know why they like to stay in the cold palace. β
Seeing that Shui Xiu still didn't understand, Yang Hai leaned in and whispered two words in her ear, "Corpse!" β
"Ahh Shui Xiu was so frightened that the whole person jumped up, stared at Yang Hai in disbelief and whispered, "Is this true?" β
Yang Hai said: "Although crows are regarded as sacred birds, they do like to eat carrion the most, and someone will die at any time in the cold palace, so they naturally like to stay here." β
Shui Xiu already felt that this place was gloomy, but when he heard him say this, he felt even more cold, and hurriedly moved closer in the direction of Yang Hai.
Let's say that Ling Ruo glanced at those strange women and said, "Where is the Wen family, who was just deposed by the emperor some time ago?" β
"Minion, I'll take you there." Saying this, the little eunuch led Ling Ruo through the courtyard, came to a house that looked quite intact, pushed open the door and said, "Wen Rutian, someone has come to see you!" β
Wen Ru, who was sitting in a chair with his back to the door, heard the words of the little eunuch and quickly turned around, and when he saw that it was Ling Ruo, the joy in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by disappointment and ...... Abhor!
Yes, she should be hated, if it weren't for Ling Ruo exposing her affairs, she wouldn't have come to this point at all.
After sending the little eunuch down, Ling Ruo stepped into the dusty room, looked at Wen Rutian and raised his eyes and chuckled, "What, are you disappointed to see that it's this palace?" β
"What are you doing here?" Wen Rutian looked at Ling Ruo vigilantly.
The smile on Ling Ruo's face deepened, and his fingers swiped over the dilapidated table, "It's nothing, you are the sister of Concubine Huixian, this palace and Concubine Huixian's sisters, isn't it normal to come and see you?" β
Wen Rutian sneered and said, "You don't have to act coy here, you can't wait for me to die in your heart!" Saying this, she seemed to understand something, and suddenly said: "I understand, you must want to see if I am dead, you want to avenge Wen Ruyan, but it's a pity, I'm alive, I'm alive and well." And not only live now, but will live in the future, outlive you! β
"Really?" Ling Ruo was not angry by her words, and his fingers swiped across the dilapidated table, stirring up fine dust to fly in the air.
Ling Ruo's carelessness fell into Wen Rutian's eyes, which made her more and more excited, and said loudly: "Yes, even if you win this time, you still haven't killed me, and you have nothing to do with me." You see, one day I'll get out of here, out of this damn cold palace! β
"Yes, you will leave, but after you die, no one will ever be able to leave the cold palace alive." The smile that floated on the surface suddenly rose, replaced by a cold heart, "Don't think that the emperor will come to see you, you killed Concubine Huixian, and you almost had a miscarriage, the emperor doesn't know how much he hates you, how can he forgive you, you died of this heart!" β
"I will leave, I will definitely leave!" Wen Rutian waved his hands excitedly, "I won't lose to you, Niu Hulu Lingruo, I will definitely not lose to you!" β
Yang Hai scolded: "Bold, how can you call Niangniang's name!" β
Wen Ru said nonchalantly: "What if I want to call her, does she dare to kill me?" Now that the Queen Mother is still in mourning, it is not appropriate to see blood! β
"I won't kill you, but ......" Ling Ruo bloomed a smile again, like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, and like a sunny sunshine in summer, dazzling, in such a smile, she said word by word: "I will watch the emperor execute you!" β
"Nope! The emperor won't kill me! She...... She'll save me. Wen Rutian was like a cat whose tail was trampled on, and she said with her teeth and claws, but the more fierce she became, the more uneasy she revealed in her heart.
"The one you say she means the queen, right?" Ling Ruo stroked his face and said a few words to break the most stubborn reliance in Wen Rutian's heart, and then smiled sarcastically: "Wen Rutian, you are really naΓ―ve, the queen was afraid that you would talk nonsense in front of the emperor that day, and it would implicate her, so she had to save your life, but now you are in the cold palace, no matter what you say, no one hears it, how can she risk it to save you, she will only do one thing, and that is to watch you die!" β
Wen Rutian shook his head vigorously and muttered: "No, the queen will definitely save me, that stew pot was given to me by her, as long as I tell the emperor, she ......"
"What about her, will she be deposed in the cold like you? Wen Rutian, don't dream, if you can convict the queen by one-sided words, she will not still sit in Kunning Palace now. You are arrogant and regard everyone as a chess piece, even the queen, but in fact, you are the chess piece, the chess piece of the game between the palace and the queen, no matter who wins or loses between the palace and the queen, you are the one who is abandoned. β
"No, I'm not a pawn!" This sentence poked at Wen Rutian's sore spot, she thought that she was extremely smart and could get ahead in the palace and play with everyone, but the result was that she was played with and ended up in the cold palace.
Ling Ruo nodded and said, "Originally, you could not be a chess piece, you could be your nobleman in Yanxi Palace in peace, but you didn't want to, you deceived this palace, and even killed your sister-in-law." Wen Rutian, this palace really wants to ask, what is there about Concubine Huixian who is sorry for you, you have to be so vicious! β
"Because she's stupid!" Wen Rutian shouted with a hideous expression: "I am obviously driving earlier than you, but I am willing to be behind you, if I listen to her, will I also be behind you for the rest of my life." I don't want to, I'm going to climb higher than you, I'm going to be the most favored one in the harem. β
