The snow was falling in winter, and seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Zhu Rouyun couldn't stand the cold, so she had to grit her teeth and enter the room. But she didn't dare to go to Concubine Song's bedroom before her death, so she only entered the room of the girls on the side.

The once lively yard has completely fallen silent with the death of the owner, and all the furnishings in the house are the same, but they are empty and have no popularity.

The night wind whined outside, and although the house could block the wind and rain, there was no charcoal basin for heating, and it was still cold to the bone.

Fortunately, there were several quilts piled up on the girls' beds, and Zhu Rouyun took them all and wrapped them all on herself, so she felt that her frozen body gradually became conscious, so she fell asleep in a daze.

However, this sleep was not sound, and nightmares came one after another. The beating and scolding of his parents when he was young, the displacement after the famine, and the open and secret battles of building the palace.

At the end of the nightmare, it was Concubine Song who pinched her neck with a hideous face and asked her to pay for her life.

Zhu Rouyun felt that she was almost suffocating, and at this moment, the door was blown open by the wind with a "bang", which also woke her up from her dream suddenly.

She sat in the corner of the bed with the quilt draped in shock, looking out at the darkness through the wide open door, and there seemed to be countless ghosts and ghosts hidden in the distorted night in the wind and snow.

Zhu Rouyun was so frightened that she almost lost her soul, and said sharply: "It's not me, it's not me who hurt you, who do you go to, don't come to me, don't come to me!" ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and shrank and shouted: "I know who hurt you, it was Concubine Lan, it was Concubine Lan who harmed you." If you want revenge, go to her, don't come to me! ”

Zhu Rouyun didn't even dare to get out of bed and close the door, and let the wind and snow howl into the house. She shrunk under the quilt and didn't dare to close her eyes again, so she survived the first night.

finally stayed up until dawn, and she finally couldn't help but fall asleep. However, he didn't get much sleep, and was woken up hungry after noon. However, she searched the whole yard, and even the kitchen was clean, leaving not a grain of rice.

Under the pressure of hunger and cold, Zhu Rouyun fell asleep in a daze again, and when she woke up again, she couldn't see her fingers in the room, and there was no night outside.

"Bang bang bang, bang."

Zhu Rouyun vaguely heard a creepy knock on the door outside, and she murmured in a trembling voice: "Again, here again, I didn't hurt you, don't come to me, don't come to me......"

Hungry and cold, physically and mentally exhausted, Zhu Rouyun was already on the verge of collapse. However, at this moment, she seemed to faintly hear a familiar voice, and she couldn't help but perk up and boldly searched out.

"Sister, sister is me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhu Rouyun seemed to see a life-saving straw, and almost rushed over, and saw something stuffed in the dog hole in the corner.

Qian Wan'er's voice came from outside the wall, and she said, "Sister, are you okay?" My sister can't save my sister, so I can only bring you some food and thick clothes at night.

Sister, wait a minute, when the prince is in a good mood, my sister will want to intercede for you, and she will definitely rescue her sister. ”

Zhu Rouyun couldn't help nodding, and her heart was moved and sour. She sobbed and said, "Good, good, good." Wan'er, you must save me, my sister will remember your great kindness, and she will definitely repay you in the future. ”

Qian Wan'er sighed and said, "Sister, where are you talking about this, there are guns and arrows everywhere in this palace, and our sisters naturally have to support each other." Just ......"

She paused, and then said helplessly: "Today, I want to ask someone to report to the palace, and I want to bring a message to the concubine, so that she must save her sister, and now only the concubine can save her sister."

But my people didn't even see the face of the concubine, so they were blocked back by Aunt Zhuyu. said that the concubine was busy driving, and she didn't have time to pay attention to such idle things.

But now, apart from the concubine Niangniang, my sister can't think of anyone else who can make the prince change his mind and let his sister live. I don't want the concubine to value my sister so much in the past, but now she ...... Alas. ”

Zhu Rouyun thought of Concubine Lan's favor for her in the past, and even made her secretly fantasize in her heart for a while, longing for how good it would be if this was her mother-in-law.

But now it seems that it is just his own wishful thinking. She hated and annoyed, gritted her teeth and said: "I'm just a thing she used to relieve boredom, now that the freshness has passed, naturally I won't take it seriously, and it is useless to beg her, and I will bring humiliation on myself." ”

Qian Wan'er said: "It's not necessarily ......"

At this point, she seemed to have some scruples, and only then continued under Zhu Rouyun's questioning: "Sister doesn't know, the news that came from this afternoon is that Wang Lao met bandits on the road last night, and the people are gone. ”

Zhu Rouyun was stunned, as if she hadn't reacted yet, Qian Wan'er said again: "After Wang Lao has been working for the palace for many years, I will send someone to Wang's house to send some silver relief, so as not to be honest."

But he didn't want to come back and say that he overheard the Wang family discussing how to divide the gold, saying that Wang Lao suddenly got it back a few days ago. When Mrs. Wang asked that day, he only said that it was a reward for doing things for the nobles, but it was not given by our prince. ”

At this time, Zhu Rouyun understood it, and coupled with some rumors and rumors that she vaguely heard before, her heart suddenly cooled.

"It turns out that the concubine Niangniang wants me to be her substitute ghost, no wonder I have to save me, I trusted her so much, she is so vicious!"

Qian Wan'er said again: "Not only that, this matter is already quite strange. My sister knows that the prince has a deep affection for the concubine, and now people are sad, so they often have to come here alone to sit for a while to chat for comfort, so naturally they don't dare to be careless. Quick Eye 123

According to the king's orders, all the furnishings in the side concubine's house are the same. My sister is also afraid that some people will not be rude and their hands and feet will not be clean, so she will watch it in person, but she doesn't know when the crested hairpin was lost. ”

Zhu Rouyun also said: "I haven't seen that crested hairpin at all, and I don't know how it got under my bed."

But since I was betrayed by Ling'er and then killed by the slut in green, I was extra careful to guard against the people around me, and I didn't want to be tricked. ”

She gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "It must be Song Hongyan, she has always used such methods." was so ruthless at the beginning to get rid of Bai Yueyu's belly, and now he wants to get rid of me! ”

Qian Wan'er said: "This is a clue, my sister will keep an eye on the people in my sister's yard, maybe I can find evidence of someone colluding with Aunt Song." ”

comforted Zhu Rouyun for a few more words, and Qian Wan'er left with Zhirong. In the silent night, she only heard the cold wind howling in her ears, and Qian Wan'er felt that her heart was also frozen, and she was no longer as soft as before.

When she returned to the house, Zhirong took off her cloak for her, and stirred the charcoal fire in the stove even more vigorously. Qian Wan'er's eyes stared at the jumping warm flame and was stunned, and it took a while to come back to her senses and speak: "I remember that the girl next to my sister was sold from other places, and she is not young, so I will give her some silver tomorrow and send her back to her hometown." ”

Zhirong is smart and can understand it at one point.

"The slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will tell her that this is the favor of the prince and let her go quickly."

The candles in the house were extinguished, but the wind and snow outside never stopped.

In the distance, in the mass grave on the outskirts of the capital, Guo's mother's body was rolled up in a broken straw mat and was still on the ground at will, inconspicuous in this mass grave.

The yin atmosphere in the mass grave is too heavy, especially at night, and the wind is gusting, which makes people creepy.

A gust of wind blew, and an official who was lying in ambush not far away couldn't help but shiver. He was tightening his clothes when something crawled down his instep and scared him to jump.

With a "bang", everyone in ambush drew their swords and rushed over. But I saw that the official waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a mouse, I'm dazzled." ”

Yang Gong, the secretary of Dali Temple, glared at him with hatred, and raised his hand and everyone ambushed back again, quietly waiting for the accomplices who came to save Guo's mother.

The official couldn't help muttering in his heart, so he gossiped with his colleagues on the side: "Alas, you say, is that Guo really fake his death? When I went in this morning, my body was stiff, and I was clearly a dead man. ”

This official is the official who is responsible for taking care of Guo's mother, and it is also the official who led the fake doctor to see Guo's mother at the beginning. Although he also wanted to catch the prisoner's accomplices and make meritorious contributions, he always felt that it was in vain.

The colleague was shrinking his neck in fear, and sighed when he heard the words: "Alas, who knows this." But the adults insisted that this was a trick of the thieves, and that we had to ambush here. We who run errands, how can we have the kung fu to think about things and west. Anyway, listen to the instructions from above, let you do whatever you want. ”

It turned out that Guo Shi did not notice anything after taking medicine to commit suicide that day, after all, she has been very honest recently, and it is useless for the time being, so the guards did not waste too much thought on her.

It wasn't until he went to deliver breakfast the next day that he saw that last night's dinner hadn't moved at all, and Guo was lying motionless again, that he realized that something was wrong. I hurriedly went to look, but found that everyone was dead.

I went to the doctor who had treated Guo again, only to find out that the carriage on the way from the doctor suddenly lost control. The old doctor was not lightly injured, and he forgot to send someone to Dali Temple to say a word in a hurry.

In this way, anyone can see that it was Guo's accomplices who killed people and killed them.

But Yang Gong felt strange, Guo obviously wanted to live before, and he shouldn't suddenly and quietly beg for death. Therefore, he concluded that Guo must have wanted to fake his death and get out, so he took people to ambush here.

The wind and snow were wanton, and it did not converge until dawn.

The people who were ambushed in the mass grave were shivering, the snow on their bodies had melted, and they were blown by the wind.

Seeing that the sky was dawning, the temple was instructed by Yang Gong to go forward to check. I saw that Guo's mother's body had been frozen in the snowstorm this night, and she couldn't die anymore.

Yang Gong's heart jumped, and he finally felt that something was wrong. He turned around abruptly and was about to go back to Dali Temple, but saw a servant who stayed in Dali Temple riding a horse in a hurry, and when he got close, he was so anxious that he rolled off his horse.

"My lord, it's not good, something happened......

In the exquisite small building, the prince and princess were getting up and freshening up, and the voice of Gu Fang suddenly came from outside, saying that there was an urgent need to see the prince.

Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran glanced at each other, and they thought of last night's incident together. Bai Yanran was already dressed and sat in front of the dressing mirror to make up, so she asked Su Xin to summon the ancient recipe in.

After Gu Fang came in, he said without any delay: "Lord Qi, Princess Qi, Dali Temple has just come with news that the Su family was killed in prison. ”

Ji Lingyun frowned, and Bai Yanran turned her head suddenly and asked, "What about the Guo family?" ”

Gu Fang said in a deep voice: "Guo Shi has already died, and there is no such thing as fake death. ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and at this moment Zhu Ling hurriedly came in and said, "Lord, princess, Zuo Xiang is here." ”
