Since the rumor that Lu Li was preparing to recruit the harem spread in the palace, An Xiabai hadn't slept well for a long time, not only that, but she couldn't even eat, and closed her eyes several times in a row, dreaming of a woman, more precisely, dreaming of herself.

She was alone in an eerie palace, staring at the ceiling with a resentful gaze.

She was so thin that she looked like there was no flesh under her skin, only bones, and her face was even more haggard and ugly.

"Who are you?" Looking at the face similar to herself, An Xiabai's heart trembled.

"Who I am, you can see for yourself."

An Xiabai tightened her brows, and suddenly realized that the person in front of her was the illness that had been haunting her heart recently, if she was not mistaken, this was the one she had heard of in her previous life, who was starved to death in the cold palace, the queen of Lu Li, and the original owner of her current body.

An Xiabai only felt a chill in her back.

Since entering the palace, Lu Li has rarely come to see her, and the ostensible excuse is always that she is busy with government affairs....... Does this mean that Lu Li no longer has the original feelings for her, and now that the news of the harem has come out, is he deliberately testing himself? Will there be a day in the future when I will be trapped in the cold palace like the original body in my previous life, and then starve to death......

Like now?

A huge sense of fear surged towards An Xia Bai like a tide, and she wanted to dodge, but there was nowhere to hide.

The embarrassed woman on the other side seemed to see her psychological activities, and a sneer hung on the corner of her lips: "You're right, he is that kind of person, when he accompanies him to fight the world, the sweet words on his mouth are as beautiful as honey, but what about in the future?" When the world is calmed down and you completely lose your usefulness, he will kick you away without any mercy, just like I do now....... I'm dying, I can feel ......"

"No, you're not going to die!" An Xiabai rushed to her quickly, stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms.

But her hand pierced through the other's body as if it had no substance.

The other's gaze fell on the ceiling, her pupils gradually dilated, and an expression on her face that resembled joy and sadness.

An Xiabai has experienced life and death, so she knows what this expression means, when people are about to die, they usually see the most nostalgic picture before death, An Xiabai doesn't know what she saw before she died, she only knows that she gradually died in front of herself.

The heavy palace door was slowly pushed open, and a small insider hurriedly stepped forward: "Hey, your meal has arrived-"

The figure that should have rushed forward was lying motionless on the ground, but at this time, he realized that something was wrong, and slowly stepped forward to find out, and when he saw the expression on the face of the person lying on the ground, he suddenly changed his face.

"The queen is dead!"

The sharp sound was like a needle piercing An Xiabai's heart, and tears fell down like pearls with broken threads, and An Xiabai suddenly woke up from his sleep.

"Mother, you're finally awake!" The maid Huayun rushed forward, "Niangniang, you are really scared to death of the slave!" ”

An Xiabai gently pressed her aching forehead and asked with a complicated expression, "What time is it?" ”

Huayun obediently reported the hour, wiped his tears and said: "Queen Mother, you have been asleep for a day and a night, the imperial doctor has come to see, and he said that he can't see any symptoms, and the emperor has not been here once during this period.......

Haven't you been here once?

An Xiabai closed her eyes, and a mocking smile curled into the corners of her lips.

"Draw clouds, help me up."

Huayun exclaimed: "Where are you going, the queen mother, the imperial doctor has explained that you had better not get out of bed and walk around easily, you need to recuperate!" ”

"Help me up, I want to go somewhere." Since An Xiabai insisted on getting up, Huayun, a little maid, had no choice but to help her up, and then waited for An Xiabai to get dressed. Huayun helped tidy up his appearance for a hundred years, and asked An Xiabai cautiously, "Niangniang, the imperial dining room just sent a bowl of medicinal porridge, saying that it clears the heat and lowers the fire, Niangniang, do you want to try it?" ”

Obviously, she hasn't eaten for a day and a night, but An Xiabai doesn't feel hungry at all, and there is only one thing she wants to do most at the moment, and that is to go to the cold palace.

She wanted to see with her own eyes whether the eerie palace in her dream existed.

As soon as he heard that An Xiabai wanted to go to the cold palace to have a look, Huayun was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"Niangniang, this cold palace is not a clean place after all, although Niangniang, your status is noble and you have the protection of the gods, but who can guarantee that the dirty things in this cold palace will never encroach on Niangniang, so don't go in, right?"

The fear on Huayun's face was undisguised, and An Xiabai gave up the idea of taking her in.

"Since you're afraid, stay outside by yourself, and I'll go in and see it alone."

Regardless of what the people waiting behind him thought, An Xiabai rolled up her skirt and stepped directly into the palace gate of the cold palace.

Obviously, she had never been to the cold palace before, but An Xiabai was familiar with this palace as if she had lived for a long time, she stepped into the palace gate, walked through the abandoned courtyard, and came to a very dilapidated room. This cold palace should not have been abandoned to such an extent, but because the previous dynasty collapsed, all the people of the royal family left the palace, no one lived in the palace, and King Li did not take care of it when he moved in, so it was abandoned.

An Xiabai looked at this room in silence, only feeling extremely familiar.

Isn't this the room she'd seen in her dreams?

The original owner of the previous life starved to death in this room, and I don't know if she will repeat the path taken by the original owner in the future......

The words that the original master of the dream realm had said to her were still echoing in her ears, and An Xiabai's heart suddenly sank.

After An Xiabai went back, he became more and more sick, and he could get out of bed and walk around before, but now he has a fever and fatigue this time, and he doesn't even have the strength to get up, and he is very weak.

The news soon reached Lu Li's ears, and Lu Li lost his temper.

"The queen is sick, why didn't anyone come to tell her?"

The big eunuch knelt on the ground, his head bumped: "Your Majesty, the minions also just learned about this matter, there was no news from the Kunning Palace before, presumably the queen mother sympathized with Your Majesty's busy government affairs and was unwilling to distract Your Majesty, so she deliberately concealed the news!" Please forgive your majesty! ”

Not to mention, An Xiabai is really a person who can do such a thing.

Lu Li, who had a headache, could only press the anger in his heart: "I want to go to Kunning Palace to see the queen." ”

Lu Li, who was angry, hurriedly came to Kunning Palace, and was just about to enter the door, but she didn't know where a person dressed as a maid jumped out of nowhere, she ignored everyone's persuasion and knelt down in the middle of the road, clearly meaning to block Lu Li's way.

"Who are you?"

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is the maid who waits beside the queen, and now she is kneeling here, I want to ask Your Majesty to give the queen a little time to rest."

Lu Li, who was already in a bad mood, became more and more annoyed: "You mean that if I came to Kunning Palace to see the queen, it will make the queen's symptoms worse?" ”

"Slaves don't mean that!" Huayun kowtowed, and said in a respectful and resolute tone, "After the queen mother went to the cold palace today, her condition became more and more serious, and it was the time when she needed to rest, if Your Majesty went in at this time, it would inevitably not disturb the queen mother's mind, and the condition would not be easy to recover at that time!" ”

An Xiabai went to the cold palace, what did she do in the cold palace?

But before Lu Li could figure out the secret, there was a heart-rending cough in the room.

Lu Li was in a hurry, and walked directly in the direction of the room.

Seeing this, Huayun didn't know whether he was alive or dead and wanted to stop him, but before he could hug Lu Li's leg, Lu Li dodged to the side, and heard him grit his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the fact that there are not many people serving around the queen, and you are a lady-in-waiting who is quite liked by the queen, I'm afraid that you have landed on the ground now, and if you dare to stop me, I will take your life carefully." ”

Huayun was stunned for a moment, and the officials who came with Lu Li had already rushed forward and held her down.

"Queen!" Lu Li rushed into the room, rushed all the way to An Xiabai's bed, and saw the pale and haggard face of the person on the bed, Lu Li's heart ached like a knife, gently helped the person up from the bed, and then patted her back with his hand, so that she could get her breath.

An Xiabai opened her eyes, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and she knew that she was a little drowsy at a glance.

"Your Majesty?"

Lu Li nodded again and again, and hugged the person tightly in his arms: "It's me, I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you!" It's such a big person, why can't you even take care of yourself, are the people around you all used as decorations, I'll go out to treat their sins later, especially the clever painting cloud who wants to stop me! ”

An Xiabai didn't know what kind of conflict they had outside, so he just thought that Huayun was unfair to himself, so he collided with Lu Li, and said with a smile: "They took good care of me." ”

"It's so well cared for, how could it make you sick like this?" God knows how painful Lu Li's heart hurt when he saw her sick face.

"I got sick all of a sudden, mainly because I had a nightmare." An Xiabai raised his eyes, and his gaze fell directly on Lu Li's body, "I've been having nightmares lately, dreaming that I was locked up in a palace and tortured...... Ended up dying there. ”

Lu Li furrowed her brows and covered her mouth to prevent her from continuing.

"It's just a nightmare, don't take it personally."

An Xiabai pulled away his hand and shook his head with a complicated expression: "I thought the same way before, I thought that the dream was just a nightmare, and the reality would never repeat itself with the nightmare, but when I went to the cold palace and saw the layout inside, I suddenly believed it." Obviously, I had never been to the Cold Palace before, but after I arrived at the Cold Palace, I felt very familiar, and it felt like I had been in the Cold Palace for a long time...... In my dream, I died in the cold palace. ”

Lu Li suddenly understood her psychology a little.

Maybe people who have experienced life and death always care about this kind of thing, and Lu Li wants to eliminate the fear in her heart.

"I'll let people smash the cold palace later, okay?"

An Xiabai couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty is not a tyrant, how can a good palace be smashed?" ”
