"I'm afraid you've mistaken someone, I've never been on duty in the palace." Gu Gong refused to admit his identity because he was afraid that it would bring risks to the family of the palace maid Cui'er. If it weren't for the emperor's kindness back then, I'm afraid that Gu Gong wouldn't have been able to keep even a cheap life.

"This incident was not a small incident back then, I won't admit my mistake, haven't you thought about finding her?" With Chu Lingyi's power, it is not difficult to release someone in the palace, and it is an old thing, and no one will pay attention to it.

"A deceased person, even if I find it, what can I do." Gu Gong always thought that the palace maid Cui'er couldn't resist the torture and died in the palace back then, but he didn't know that she was still alive now.

Hearing Gu Gong's words, Chu Lingyi understood, it turned out that they thought each other was gone. If the two of them can be fulfilled in this way, it will be a good thing, and it will also return a favor for Mu Li.

"Cui'er is still alive, working as a handyman in the northwest courtyard of the cold palace."

"What, alive?" There was a hint of a smile on Gu Gong's lifeless face, but it quickly disappeared. He had thought that the person who had died for so many years was still alive, and he really wanted to meet Cui'er, but after all, he had harmed her, so what kind of face did he have to meet her.

Mu Li never thought that Gu Gong would have such an experience, he only knew that he should have had a very loving person in the past, but he didn't know that the story was a bit bleak.

"Are you really sure that person is alive?" Mu Li approached and asked Chu Lingyi quietly, and Chu Lingyi responded to Mu Li with an affirmative look.

As the saying goes, it would be better to demolish a temple than a marriage, if you can promote the marriage between Cui'er and Gu Gong, it will be a good thing. Mu Li decided to let Chu Lingyi help with this, even if he owed him a favor, after all, Gu Gong helped him so much.

"Do you have a way to get her out of the palace?" The power of the palace is in the hands of Chu Ziheng, although he helped him repair the jade pendant, Mu Li is unwilling to let Chu Ziheng help.

"Of course, you still can't trust me, can you?" Chu Lingyi said affectionately close to Mu Li's ear, and Mu Li hurriedly dodged to the side. Chu Lingyi and Mu Li have been together for a long time, and they unconsciously began to become interesting.

"Okay, you two don't talk to me in front of me, let's go." Gu Gong didn't want to let the original little hope turn into disappointment completely, maybe for Gu Gong, the current life is suitable for him.

Mu Li gently tugged at the corner of Chu Lingyi's clothes, hinting at going first. Mu Li knew that Gu Gong wanted to see Cui'er in his heart, but he no longer had the courage he had back then.

"Gu Gong, I'll go first, and I'll come to see you next time I have a chance." Mu Li saw that Gu Gong was silent, and pulled Chu Lingyi and walked out of the door.

Chu Lingyi didn't understand what Mu Li meant, wouldn't it be good to help Gu Gong get back the person he loved back then. Mu Li, the ghost elf, naturally wants to help Gu Gong find Cui'er, but not now, he has to let Gu Gong slow down.

"Why are you doing this, I'm here to help you." Chu Lingyi stretched out his hand so that Mu Li could get into the carriage with his strength.

Mu Li couldn't help but sigh, he was really a straight man, he only knew what was good for others, but he didn't think about other people's thoughts. Forget it, for the sake of his kindness, I will temporarily accept this favor for Gu Gong.

"Can you take me to meet Cui'er?" Mu Li wanted to know Cui'er's thoughts, if Cui'er was unwilling to leave the palace, it would naturally be difficult to force it, if she still had Gu Gong in her heart, then she was determined by this marriage.

"I'll arrange it."

Cold Palace Courtyard.

Mu Li has watched too many court dramas in modern times, and knows some of the suffering in the cold courtyard of the harem, but after all, that is what the plot wants to demonstrate. Where to know, this is real. In the backyard of the cold palace that was left out of the cold, in addition to the fallen leaves all over the ground, there was a group of concubines who had fallen out of favor or palace maids who had committed things.

"Be careful." A woman with loose hair rushed towards Mu Li, and Chu Lingyi quickly pulled Mu Li away.

Mu Li was frightened and lost her soul all of a sudden, she never thought that there was such a place in the harem, and there was really a woman who went crazy after falling out of favor like in the palace drama. Mu Li was suddenly glad that he hadn't entered this harem, otherwise he didn't know if his fate would be better than the person in front of him.

"Are you alright?" Chu Lingyi protected Mu Li behind him, afraid that there would be people who would have a mad attack.

"It's fine." Mu Li's face was pale and bloodless. She couldn't imagine how these people had survived, once in high positions, but now as humble as ants.

Looking at this scene, Mu Li couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. The palace maid Cui'er was not executed back then, I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate. In other words, Mu Li, she probably would rather die than live such a life, because she loves freedom too much, just like life.

A thin back in the distance attracted Mu Li, who was bending over to wash clothes. That's right, that is the palace maid Cui'er. Cui'er was assigned here to serve these concubines who had fallen out of favor, and here, she was the only one who was sober.

"Cui'er." Mu Li didn't dare to confirm it, so Qingqing shouted.

Cui'er didn't look back, because no one would call her here, and she didn't deserve a name anymore. Mu Li glanced at Chu Lingyi on the side, wondering if he had made a mistake, maybe it was just the same name. After so many years, it is not impossible for Bao Qi Cui'er to commit suicide because she can't stand such a life.

Chu Lingyi and Mu Li slowly approached the palace maid, and Chu Lingyi called: "Cui'er." ”

The man turned around, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Who are you looking for? Cui'er? She's dead. ”

"Dead?" Mu Li was suddenly disappointed.

Chu Lingyi knew that the person in front of her was Cui'er, but what happened back then had a great impact on her, and she didn't want to mention it again, just as the previous Cui'er had died, and she spent the rest of her life with them in this dilapidated courtyard.

"He thought you were dead, but he never forgot you."

The palace maid's eyes were filled with tears, she knew who Chu Lingyi was talking about, and she didn't want to spend her life with him. But the first half of my life has been spent here, and the second half of my life can't get out of this courtyard.

"Aunt Cui'er, Gu Gong still keeps your jade pendant from the past, do you know how painful he has been over the years, he thought you were dead, and he has been hiding in a secluded village, isolated from the world." It seems that Chu Lingyi didn't lie to her, and sure enough, she found the palace maid Cui'er.

"Yes, Cui'er is dead, and now standing in front of you is an old palace maid with no name." The palace maid Cui'er is no longer as eager to get out of this high wall as she was back then, the once beautiful flowers have disappeared, and only the wrinkles on her face accompany her all year round.

No, we must let the palace maid Cui'er go out, so that the hard-working mandarin ducks can only part ways. "Aunt Cui'er, you used to love each other like that, I believe you must still have him in your heart, right? In that case, why don't you fulfill yourself? ”

"Ugh." The palace maid Cui'er looked up at the sky, and there was more loss in her eyes.
