In the large's room, a grease lamp like a chrysanthemum bean was lit, and the smoke smoked the walls black, with a pungent smell of burning.

The shadow of Shangguan Wan'er struggling to scrub her clothes was reflected on the wall, mottled and scattered with the shaking of the lamp.

The night was deep and silent.

In the deep courtyard of the house, there was occasionally a burst of women's hysterical screams and crazy laughter, and occasionally someone could be heard crying miserably, and there was even an unbearable sound of fighting and invective.

These voices peculiar to the cold palace are intertwined, like a hell ghost crying.

Shangguan Wan'er's face was no longer fat powder and flowers, a few strands of hair were stuck to her forehead and cheeks with sweat, and every time she rubbed her clothes with her hands, her brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

During the day, the scars of the leather whip were rubbed against the rough linen, and it hurt like fire. But Shangguan Wan'er didn't have time to take care of this, if she couldn't finish washing these clothes tonight, there would be even more vicious beatings tomorrow. Moreover, she couldn't take care of it if she wanted to, and it was impossible for the palace maid who was punished to come to Qiuseyuan to get any medical treatment.

Commiseration?

Help?

Such a word does not belong in the harem.

Not to mention that she is a female official who has been punished, even if the queen who was high in the clouds back then, the situation after she failed in the palace fight and was demoted to the cold palace is not much better than the current Shangguan Wan'er. In the past, when I saw the queen and queen kneeling on the ground trembling, and even kowtowed for fear of not knocking loudly enough, the old eunuch dared to press the head of the degraded queen into the toilet, and dared to stab her lower body with the wooden handle of dust, and stuffed a handful of sand into it after poking. The most empress and concubine Xiao Shu were cut off and put into the wine jar and died of blood, and the eunuchs who were tortured sighed - dying so quickly, these two sluts are so cheap!

Those men who have been castrated are inherently twisted and vicious in their hearts, and the longer they live in the harem, the worse it gets. Those harem women who have never seen a man in their lives are subjected to all kinds of oppression and bullying, and it is extremely difficult not to distort their hearts. Such a group of people live together all day long, who is not full of grievances and wants to find someone to vent at any time?

Therefore, what should have been sympathy for the same fate has become cannibalism, as if each other are inherently enemies. In particular, once a person who was once powerful is in trouble, he will be even more viciously punished by others. The eunuch who whipped Shangguan Wan'er with a leather whip today, Shangguan Wan'er didn't even know his name, let alone any new and old grudges. In the eyes of that eunuch, Shangguan Wan'er used to be more lucky and beautiful than him, and let him be careful with his promises, that is Shangguan Wan'er's sin!

The people in the harem have always eaten jealousy as food. The cannibalism between the palace maid and the eunuch does not need a reason at all. If you have to find a reason, it may be because there is no one in the harem who is more lowly than them, let them vent the grievances that are accumulating every moment.

If someone is killed alive and finds a place where no one is there to bury them, it is still lucky. Wufang raised a lot of flying eagle dogs for royal hunting, and they often had to eat some fresh and bloody hearts and lungs to keep them wild. Therefore, there is a very vicious curse in the harem - ensure that you die quickly and do not bury the whole body, and enter the heart and lungs of Wufang!

In comparison, what is the value of a few whips?

Shangguan Wan'er, who grew up in the palace and has long looked down on all this, doesn't even feel self-pity at this time, let alone let out a sad groan like a Daiyu burial flower.

The only thing she wanted to do now was to wash the pile of clothes as soon as possible, and the cleaner the better.

The only principle of survival in the harem is to try to keep breathing!

Other than that, everything is pseudo-principle.

There was a series of gurgling sounds in her stomach, and Shangguan Wan'er retched twice and spit out a mouthful of blue-yellow bitter water. In the stomach, only gastric bile water remains. Before the pile of clothes was washed and the eunuch was satisfied, Shangguan Wan'er knew that she couldn't have anything to eat.

Scooping up a scoop of water, Shangguan Wan'er raised her neck and poured water into her stomach. After a few sips, she suddenly vomited again, and she fell to the ground and spit out all the water she had just drunk.

Dizzy and shaky.

Suddenly, someone held her up, a very warm and firm embrace. Shangguan Wan'er, who was blackened in front of her, gasped and said casually, "Xie Luxie".

An oiled paper bag was handed to her, along with a sheepskin bag.

The fragrance of Hu cake!

Shangguan Wan'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva very unladylikely, grabbed the oiled paper bag with both hands and opened it, sure enough, it was a mutton fat beard cake sprinkled with black sesame seeds!

Bite!

Extremely sweet!

The stopper of the sheepskin bag is pulled out, wafting out the clear aroma of sweet glutinous rice wine. Shangguan Wan'er snatched it almost reflexively, suddenly came back to her senses, and turned her head to look at the person who was holding her in her arms.

A close, familiar face.

"Gong ...... Child?! Shangguan Wan'er jumped up almost as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost, staring at Xue Shao!

"How did you come here?!"

Xue Shao put his hand to his lips and made a silent gesture, and smiled slightly, "Eat." ”

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Xue Shao in shock, and suddenly lost her mind for a moment, turning into a blank, and only muttered in her mouth-

"How did you come here?"

"You shouldn't be here!"

"Let's go, you go!"

Shangguan Wan'er jumped up like a demon and pushed Xue Shao out, throwing the cake and the sheepskin bag to the ground.

Xue Shao was still pushed by her, picked up the Hu cake that fell to the ground, tore off the soiled surface, and sent it to Shangguan Wan'er's mouth with a smile, "It's time for you to eat." ”

"You go!"

"You don't want to die!"

"Please, let's go!!"

Shangguan Wan'er was almost crying, and desperately pushed Xue Shao out.

Xue Shao suddenly hugged Shangguan Wan'er in his arms so that she couldn't struggle anymore, still looked at her with a smile, and put the Hu cake to her mouth, "Be obedient, eat!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er's expression froze instantly, and she opened her mouth mechanically.

Xue Shao put the hu cake in her mouth.

The moment Shangguan Wan'er opened her mouth and bit it, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks and fell on the cake.

Xue Shao suddenly let go of Shangguan Wan'er, and jumped up to the roof like a spirit monkey along the beams and pillars in the house, hiding in the shadows of the beams.

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved her sleeves to wipe her tears.

Footsteps sounded at the door of the room, and Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly stuffed the cake into her underwear, kicked the sheepskin bag into the corner full of miscellaneous items, and then sat down on the small horse washing clothes.

The bra given by Princess Taiping was robbed when she first arrived at Qiuseyuan. Shangguan Wan'er could only pull a piece of cloth at will and use it as a bandeau and wear it as underwear.

The door was pushed open, and two eunuchs with lanterns on night duty entered.

", when will the clothes be washed?"

"If you go back to the two fathers-in-law, you can wash and dry in one hour at most!"

"Do you want to shed another layer of skin after such slowness?!"

"Father-in-law spares his life, and the slave and maid finish washing as soon as possible!" Shangguan Wan'er struggled to scrub her clothes.

", after all, the scenery is not up!" The two eunuchs held the lanterns in their hands and walked away scolding.

Listening to their footsteps gradually moving away, Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door lightly, and locked the door tightly.

Xue Shao was like a big peng with wings spread, jumping directly from between the roof beams, landing lightly and silently.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't have time for him to ask, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xue Shao's arm and whispered urgently: "This place is very dangerous, Gongzi leave quickly!" ”

"I'm going to be scared of those eunuchs?" Xue Shao sneered.

"I know you're extraordinary, but the harem is full of divas' eyeliner - don't make a mistake!" Shangguan Wan'er was almost so anxious that she stomped her feet.

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Don't worry, just with these eunuchs and a few Yulin soldiers, you can't help me." ”

"......" Shangguan Wan'er was speechless, and found that Xue Shao's eyes were staring at her chest, and when she subconsciously looked at it, she immediately blushed.

Half of the bread was exposed between the cleavage covered by the shabby burlap, but it was not embarrassed.

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly turned around and reached out to take out the Hu cake, whether she ate it or not, and whether she didn't eat it.

Xue Shao gently put his hand on her shoulder and said, "What mistake did you make, and the Queen of Heaven wants to punish you for coming to Qiuseyuan?" ”

"The queen of heaven is the master of the harem, and there is no need for a reason to punish people."

"Or is it because of Wu Sansi?"

"......" Shangguan Wan'er was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Childe, don't underestimate the queen of heaven, let alone be cautious in front of the queen." Wan'er deserves to be smart, don't be implicated in any way because of Wan'er! ”

Originally, Xue Shao had figured out a general idea in his heart, but when he heard Shangguan Wan'er say this, he understood it even more in his heart. When Wu Zetian taught him that day, he once said, what kind of system did you and Taiping and Wu Sansi attack each other because of a "merely" Shangguan Wan'er?

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, since Wu Sansi is eyeing Shangguan Wan'er, if Wu Zetian continues to keep her by his side, it is difficult to guarantee that in the future, Shangguan Wan'er will make some demon moths. Maybe Wu Zetian admires Shangguan Wan'er a lot, but compared with her and Princess Taiping, Wu Sansi and others, Shangguan Wan'er is not so important.

Weighing the pros and cons and decisively eliminating all hidden dangers is Wu Zetian's style!

Affection?

If Wu Zetian would be swayed by feelings on issues of principle, then she would not be in this position today, and it would not even be possible for her to live to this day!

"I'll find a way to save you." Xue Shao said.

"Don't!" Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly turned around and almost crashed into Xue Shao's arms.

Xue Shao neither retreated nor hugged her, but lowered his head slightly and looked at her calmly.

Shangguan Wan'er did not flinch or dodge, and whispered: "The queen of heaven punished me, it is a matter of the inner court." You, an official of the outer court, must not interfere, otherwise not only will you not be able to save Wan'er, but you will also have to come in. This time Wu Sansi's matter, in the final analysis, I was too careless. I shouldn't have asked you and the princess to intercede for me. The queen has always hated others for interfering in her power. Childe, you must remember! ”

Xue Shao nodded, power, who can tolerate their power being interfered with and blasphemed by others? Not to mention anything else, if someone dares to meddle in the affairs of my Xue Mansion, can I be happy? In the martial arts courtyard, Song Zhiwen hugged the thigh of the nephew of the martial arts family and expressed disdain for me, can I treat him?

"The queen of heaven has already scolded me that day, saying that I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the inner court." Xue Shao said, "But I think it's worth it to take a scolding in exchange for solving your hidden dangers." It's just that I didn't expect that the queen of heaven still won't let you go! …… It seems that I am still too naïve, and it is all my fault! ”

"If it weren't for the help of Gongzi and His Royal Highness, Wan'er would have become Wu Sansi's crotch plaything, and it might be even worse in the future. No matter what happens to Wan'er now, everything is to blame for Wan'er's life in the harem! Shangguan Wan'er said in a low voice, "To Gongzi, Wan'er has always been grateful, really!" ”

Xue Shao frowned slightly, "One day, I will let you leave this man-eating harem!" ”

"......" Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip, lowered her head, and said nothing.

Xue Shao took a deep breath and said three words categorically-

"This, for, swear!".
