Chapter 313: Charcoal in the Snow
"Master, this matter has been decided, colluding with the enemy country is really nothing, but the wine shop opened by the prince's frequent visits to foreign lands, even if it is deceived, it is difficult to escape the involvement, so the emperor has issued an order to depose the prince, and Concubine Rou has also entered the cold palace. Jin Song whispered.
The minions of Haoyuezhai have also heard about the holy decree, and Jin Song specially told the subordinates not to talk about it in front of the master, lest the master miss the old and cause something wrong, but I can't imagine that Yu Die'er still asked.
Since I asked, I can only tell the truth.
Yu Die'er frowned when she heard this, "Just such a thing fell into deposition so serious?"
Her implication was that there might be something else.
Jin Song coughed lightly, "Master, the holy decree of this matter has been issued, even if there is any inside information, it is like a taboo, don't talk about it, so as not to get into trouble." ”
Yu Die'er didn't say anything more, turned her head to look at the snow in the sky and the velvet white on the ground, but her mind was in chaos.
She thought that such a graceful person would die of old age in a palace, and she always couldn't bear it.
But even if she wants to lend a hand, I'm afraid she can't do anything, his mother and concubine have been sent to the cold palace, his crown princess and father-in-law are helpless, what can she do?
Except for worrying about her heart and feeling sorry for him, she couldn't do anything else.
Yu Die'er hated her weakness, she was helpless in the face of Hetai's lack of news, and she was helpless when the prince had an accident, she was really a useless person.
Although he didn't have much impression of the prince, the meeting in Ximian Palace, and the later meeting in the garden, he gave him a jade pendant, although it was not a big deal, but it can also be seen that he had a heart for it.
Now that he is suffering, Yu Die'er feels that it is a little unreasonable to look at him coldly, and it seems too unkind.
Even if he secretly decided to see if he could find an opportunity to visit, he did his best.
She has this heart, but she has never found a chance.
Chu Qing Palace did not allow anyone to enter at all, and the cold palace was also watched very closely.
Even Jin Song was strange, it was not easy to take silver, and the minions were stunned and did not let go.
It is estimated that they are all guarding against Concubine Rou, afraid that she will see someone, and then try to turn over. After all, the position of the crown prince is vacant, and everyone in the harem has a chance.
Naturally, no one wants anything to happen again.
It wasn't until two months later that the envoys of the Zhihuang Kingdom were about to arrive, which attracted everyone's attention.
As early as not long after Hetai left Beijing, the imperial court received a letter of state from Zhihuang, Qiu Chi and Zhihuang are each a big country, do not submit to each other, and in recent years they have been at peace, but there has always been little contact.
The other party came to visit suddenly, and the court did not know what they wanted, but since they were coming, and the two countries had no swords to fight, they still had to treat each other politely and ceremoniously.
When foreign dynasties visited, in order to show the prestige of Qiuchi, the DPRK and China were bound to make some arrangements, from reception to banquets, singing and dancing, and everything to be done was both thoughtful and could show the dignity of the landlord.
The Manchu Dynasty was busy with civil and military affairs, and the palace was naturally idle.
In this way, a lot of things are overlooked, and there is a lot of loosening everywhere.
Yu Die felt that this was an opportunity.
There are still guards guarding the entrance of Chuqing Palace, so it seems that it is difficult to enter. Yu Die'er thought that it would be better to visit Rou Guifei, anyway, it was his mother's concubine, and it was the same to talk to her.
In comparison, it is better to enter the cold palace, after all, there are only a few minions, and those who are ruined by the house can always move if they give more silver.
Since Concubine Rou entered the cold palace, she has realized the hot and cold state of the world, and when she thought of the cold palace in the past, she always felt that it was just poor food, poor clothing, poor housing, and what else could there be.
But when you think about it, you really live this kind of life, and you know how difficult it is.
The long cotton robe with a fur collar she wore when she came in, plus a musty-smelling torn cotton jacket that the servants in the cold palace found somewhere, were all her clothes.
She really didn't want to wear the torn cotton jacket of unknown origin, only the cotton robe on her body was dirty and couldn't be dirty anymore, and she only wore the torn cotton jacket when she needed to take it off and change it.
Later, her long cotton robe was also washed and faded, and it was no longer showy, and she did not bother to wash it, and she looked as gray as another dress.
After a long time, all the exquisiteness of Concubine Rou has been worn away, what is dirty or not, as long as it is warm and freezing, it will not be enough, but it is a snowy day outside?
So he put the torn cotton jacket on his body, so that he could keep out the cold.
Even the musty smell can smell a little kind.
At noon on this day, she sat on the threshold basking in the sun.
The days in this cold palace are not people's lives, they are a little offended, but her heart is more peaceful than usual, no matter how bad the ending is, it finally has a result, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad.
There are no fine clothes, no delicacies, no hugs, but there is also no fear and no sleepless nights.
There are gains and losses, that's what you say, right?
It's a pity that she doesn't know how long she can live in this sinful day, and how long she can live in this oozing cold palace?
This may seem like the worst outcome, but it's not the end.
At the moment, in order to hide people's eyes, it is inconvenient for the emperor to kill him, so he found an excuse to abolish it, but what about the future?
For a prince who is not of royal blood, will the emperor let him go, and will he tolerate him staying in the Chuqing Palace?
Absolutely not, Heyan's existence is undoubtedly a great humiliation to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely not keep him.
Yesterday, she heard the slave say that the abolished prince seemed to be sick, and the imperial doctor entered the Chuqing Palace, and Concubine Rou was a spirit, if she was really sick, she was fine, but she was afraid that it would be made.
First he contracted the disease, then he died.
But in fact, he was given death.
There is no shortage of such precedents in the deep palace, and a person can die of illness quietly.
How could she not be frightened?
When that day comes, what will Yan'er do? He is still young, and he can't just watch him die in this palace.
Concubine Rou knew that she would be wiped out in the end, a wild seed has been a prince for so many years, and it is really a big joke to spread it. How could the emperor keep her as an insider?
Even other insiders are afraid that they will disappear one after another.
Thinking of this, Concubine Rou was a little happy, presumably the queen would be difficult to survive because of this matter.
It can be seen from the fact that the emperor did not canonize the prince of Chongqi Palace as the crown prince, the emperor did not have high hopes for the queen, maybe never, in the past, he was afraid of the Luo family, but now the Luo family has been destroyed, and the queen has no support.
With the queen accompanying her as a backpad, Concubine Rou felt that at least she didn't lose so much.
She is not afraid of death anyway, but when it comes, she still remembers Heyan, he is not her biological child, but she has also raised her for 20 years.
Although he was counting on him to take him in and raise him, the mother-son relationship for so many years is not something that can be erased by using the word lightly.
In her heart, she had long loved him as a son, and she didn't know when it started.
She wished she could save him, but she couldn't protect herself.
Prince Hui couldn't count on it, and learned from the servants of the cold palace that the crown princess had been taken back to Prince Hui's mansion. Of course, those minions spoke out to sarcastically mock her.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and since ancient times, there have been many icing on the cake, but few have sent charcoal in the snow. Who is willing to help her now, to help her save a deposed prince? Isn't this a fool's dream?
She hung her head and smiled bitterly, laughing and laughing tears in her eyes.
Yu Die'er came from the courtyard gate, and when she walked in front of her step by step, Concubine Rou thought it was a dream.
Such a bright girl, dressed in splendid clothes, she is like a fairy out of the dust.
Concubine Rou couldn't help but slowly stand up.
Yu Die'er was a little surprised, she couldn't believe that the woman in front of her was the prince's mother, and she had seen one or two sides since returning to the palace, and now she couldn't connect the person in front of her with that graceful and noble woman.
Jin Song didn't approve of Yu Die'er coming to visit Concubine Rou, but he couldn't resist her, and he didn't feel at ease when he let others follow, so he followed in person.
Since he is coming, then a good man will do it to the end, he has been in the palace for a long time, and naturally knows that there is a shortage of food and clothing in the cold palace, so he took two cotton clothes from the warehouse, and also brought a box of food from the dining room.
Seeing that the former noble concubine Niangniang had fallen to the current appearance, Jin Song sighed and shook his head.
The wretched will have something to hate.
He took a step forward and said to Concubine Rou, "Our princess is thinking about the old, for the sake of the prince in the past, I came to see you today, now the situation is changeable, and it is inconvenient for our master to stay for a long time, I brought you some food and clothing here, and I will put it in the house for you, and you can eat while it is hot." ”
Jin Song said, and took the things into the room, and looked around, there was ash everywhere, and there was no good place, so he put it on a chair at random. The brand-new padded jacket was instantly stained with a few wisps of ash.
Concubine Rou reacted to what Jin Song said after a slow half a beat, and she also understood that it was Yu Die'er, the current Princess of Jin.
Thinking of all the bad things she did to Yu Die'er in the past, she was a little at a loss, and she couldn't imagine that the people she had looked down on and treated like that now came to visit her.
When everyone else was respectful of her, she came to send charcoal in the snow.
There was something indescribable in Concubine Rou's chest.
Seeing that Yu Die'er was about to enter the house, she hurriedly stopped, "Princess Jin, the house is too dirty." ”
"It's okay. Yu Die'er smiled at her and walked into the house.
When I went in, I found that what Concubine Rou said was the truth, it was indeed very dirty, and it smelled weird. It was pungent to breathe, and it was hard to imagine what it was like to live here.
Jin Song opened the food box, Concubine Rou was not polite, so many days of food are not wrapped, the food is poor, and when she sees the delicious food, she can't care about being reserved, and she devours it.
After she finished eating, Yu Die'er picked up the cotton clothes and handed them to her, "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, these two cotton clothes will keep you warm." ”
Rou Guifei took the clothes, was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly knelt down in front of Yu Die'er, Yu Die'er didn't know why, subconsciously flashed to the side, and asked suspiciously, "Guifei Niangniang, what are you doing?"
Although Concubine Rou was sent to the cold palace, the emperor's holy decree only said that she should reflect in the cold palace, and did not say that she would be deposed as a concubine, so she didn't have to kneel to Yu Die'er like this, and she also lost the rules.
And just to send her some food and clothing, there is no need to make this big gift, right?
