Chapter 541: The Concubine's Situation
With the sound of a heavy bell, the teachers and ladies in the still water nunnery, which was located halfway up Yunjing Mountain, almost stopped and returned to their Zen monastery.
The last of the clouds in the sky gradually dimmed, and at last only a gray color remained.
A maid walked into the more remote courtyard of the Zen courtyard with a food box, and then walked to the room where the lamp had been turned on, and gently pushed the door open.
At the moment of pushing the door, even though she had been prepared for a long time, she smelled a strong stench, which made her frown.
But Rao was like this, and she still walked slowly into the room with the food box.
"Mother, it's time to eat. The maid whispered to Su Guifei, who was half-lying on the bed.
Su Guifei, who was distracted, came back to her senses, looked at the maid, and when she saw her walking forward, she stretched out her hand and asked her to help her to the table.
Looking at those light and vegan foods, Su Guifei had no appetite at all.
I only felt a strong stench around her, and I didn't know if it was from her own body, or if the food was already rancid.
She couldn't help frowning: "What are these things, and the things that are fed to the dogs are also brought to the palace?"
Hearing Su Guifei's reprimand, the maid lowered her head and could only explain patiently: "Niangniang, the other masters in the temple can eat this, so you can just have some." ”
Su Guifei said angrily: "What is the identity of their sisters-in-law, what is the identity of this palace?
The maid lowered her head and said, "But we live here now, and the slave and maid can't get out, and they don't have a cook, let alone a small kitchen, so they really can't find anything else to eat." ”
In fact, at the beginning, the second prince asked people to bring a cook over, specially cooking for Su Guifei, but the food made yesterday was not appetizing, and he beat and scolded people, injured people's hands, and drove the cook away.
Since then, they have only eaten the food of the temple.
The sister-in-law in the temple is cultivated, and she naturally eats vegetarian food, there is no oil and water to speak of, which can be described as bitter, and Concubine Su naturally can't stand it.
But there is no other way, when he first came, the second prince still sent someone to come over to take a look, and often took care of it, but after a long time, it gradually faded away.
At the beginning, the fifth princess stayed in the still water nunnery for more than a year before she came out, and the mother didn't know when the smell on her body would disappear.
The sister-in-law in this temple knew that it was the lady of the palace who lived here, but she didn't dare to come rashly, so she just thought it was an ordinary donor, but no one cared, after all, no one wanted to get into trouble.
It would have been kind enough to give her and the two maids another piece of food.
Su Guifei was upset and wanted to smash the meal, but she hadn't eaten for a day, and her stomach was a little angry.
The maid said, "Niangniang, you will eat some of it, you must not go hungry." ”
Su Guifei glanced at the maid, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables to eat.
After chewing a few bites, he couldn't help but spit it out: "What are these things! You are deliberately harming this palace, aren't you?"
As he spoke, he pushed all the food and food boxes on the table to the ground, only to hear a sound, and the ground was in a mess.
The maid stood in one place, a little overwhelmed.
Su Guifei was furious, raised her hand and gave the maid a slap.
She used a lot of strength, and hit the maid in the face like this, causing her to stumble two steps, but she didn't stand firmly, fell to the ground, and was about to fall on the broken porcelain, and her hands and knees were cut by the porcelain.
The pain made the maid gasp.
When this maid was in the palace, she was often bullied, doing the dirtiest and most tiring words, and when she learned that she could serve the concubine, she thought she had picked up a great good thing, but she didn't expect that she was living more difficult now than before.
Not only do you have to endure this smell, but you also have to endure the temper of the concubine Niangniang, who gets angry at every turn.
Of the six maidens who had come with her, only three remained.
She didn't even dare to ask where those people had gone, and it wouldn't end well.
But now, she felt that no matter what the fate was, it was much better than staying by Su Guifei's side.
"What are you still doing in a daze!" Concubine Su said, "Find another meal for the palace!"
The maid looked at her cut hand, got up from the ground with difficulty, and said to Su Guifei with an indifferent face: "Niangniang, this is your dinner, if you fall, it will be gone." ”
She bowed, then exited the room, closing the door before leaving.
Seeing that a maid dared to ignore herself, Su Guifei was completely annoyed, but she wanted to smash something, but there was nothing in the whole room that could be smashed for her.
Enraged, she kicked the pillar next to her.
"Shhhh
Kicking it over, the pillar was fine, but her foot hurt terribly.
"It's just that the little palace maid dares to bully this palace, even a pillar of yours that doesn't have long eyes will come to oppose this palace!" Su Guifei scolded.
There was silence all around, except for a candle lamp flickering slightly, as if a wind was passing by.
Originally, this temple is in the mountains and forests, surrounded by mountains, it is very quiet on weekdays, especially at night, those teachers have always gone to bed early, and they have basically fallen asleep at this time, and it is so quiet that people feel terrible.
Since she was poisoned, there has been no maid in the room keeping vigil in her room.
Even she couldn't stand the smell, and those palace maids would even spit it out in front of her if they smelled it for too long.
The room that was empty, and the food she smashed on the floor didn't have time to clean up, and for some reason, I always felt that tonight was particularly alarming her.
She then went to the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and hid at the end of the bed.
Everything around her was quiet, and she suddenly became frightened and curled up in a ball, hoping that she would fall asleep sooner.
But the more desperate she tried to sleep, the clearer her mind became.
She was very hungry now because she hadn't eaten all day, but when she saw the messy food on the ground, she inexplicably surged up with anger in her heart.
She knew that Rong Yu had arranged guards by her side, so she didn't have to worry about her safety at all.
As soon as she thought of this, she became emboldened, got up from the bed, and gradually walked in the direction of the door.
She will definitely teach those ignorant little palace maids a good lesson.
She is a dignified imperial concubine, but she has fallen to the point where she is now, no matter what, she can't bear it!
It's just that as soon as she opened the door, she saw Ji Yanning standing at the door.
