Three thousand palace maids rouge face, a few springs without tears

============================

"Death on your knees?" Janeway's mouth opened wide.

Chunhua nodded slowly: "Under the scorching sun, slowly, little by little, drying, dying of thirst and starvation." ”

Janeway got goosebumps all over her body.

She remembered that there was a terrible punishment in the European Middle Ages, called wheel drying, in which the limbs of a living person were broken into sixteen sections, wrapped around the wheel, and exposed to death.

Originally, after breaking the limbs of the criminal, the wheel punishment ended the prisoner's life by hitting the chest twice, and this fatal blow was called "a merciful blow". But I don't know which king or duke felt that there was no need to be merciful with the prisoners, so they omitted this process and instead left them on wheels to fend for themselves under the scorching sun.

Since Concubine De's anger, Zhao Jingu has been kneeling in Qiu Yunxuan for two days and two nights.

Janeway remembered how she had seen her in the morning, and her heart throbbed. It seems that in all the deep palaces, there are such women, and they will become such women, competing for that little bit of rain and dew without compromising means.

It's like the Miao people's Gu raising, poisonous insects cannibalism, and the last thing left is the Gu that sees blood and seals the throat, even in the newborn imperial power like the Jin Kingdom, between the newly built palaces, there is no exception, the fragrance of the new wood has not yet dissipated, and blood and tears begin to seep in.

The night was getting darker, but now the silence had turned into a kind of torture, and Janeway repeatedly warned herself not to cause trouble, and repeatedly told herself that this was the case, but the deep sense of self-blame in her heart became heavier and heavier.

She tried to reason with herself, if she went to save Zhao Jingu now, it would only prolong her pain, and she even gave a scientific explanation of her sense of guilt for the "responsibility diffusion effect".

However, there are things that you know you shouldn't do, but it doesn't mean you can't do it, Janeway didn't know how long she sat in the dark, and her legs and feet began to go numb.

Some people are like this, fear and reason can't really control her, and at the critical moment of conscience decision, natural kindness will still dominate everything without hesitation.

Jian Wei finally jumped off the soft couch, wrapped up some untouched dinner in the house, and a pot of cooled tea, and sneaked out of the Changchun Hall while the night was dark.

The palace wall is deep, and she rarely walks alone in such a Qionglou Yuyu, and there seem to be countless unclear eyes around her who are wantonly peeping at her.

She subconsciously wanted to recite Buddhist scriptures, but immediately remembered that this was a taboo for walking at night. In the past, I had been to the Forbidden City in a graduation trip, and there was a woman with a combed bun who had to tell her fortune, saying that her life was precious, and she was emotionally disapprehended at that time, and she had no work, just smiled, and I don't know if the majestic and majestic building during the day is also so terrifying and mysterious at night.

The road for about ten minutes seemed to be walking for several hours, her cold sweat soaked through her dirty clothes, sticking to her back, and when the night breeze blew, there was a strange coolness.

Finally arrived at Qiuyunxuan, perhaps because of the public display, the palace gate was not closed. She looked around for a moment, and there was silence. Jian Wei lightly lifted the hem of her robe with one hand and slipped in quietly.

Zhao Jingu was still in the place where he saw during the day, but he had already fainted on the ground, and he must be hungry and thirsty, and he would not be able to support it because of his fatigue. She stepped forward a few steps forward and pushed her, but there was no response, and she hurriedly helped her up, her body was so thin and light, as if it didn't exist. Janeway fumbled to feed her some water, her lips were already full of cracks and crumbling skin, a little water into her mouth, almost instinctively, she drank desperately, even if it was poison, and one of her hands pressed the teapot with difficulty, as if she was afraid that the teapot would disappear.

Janeway's heart was sour, and her eyes were hot.

She whispered, "Don't rush, drink slowly."

Jin Gu listened to the human voice, came back to her senses and slowly stopped her movements, her voice trembled: "Who are you?" ”

Janeway said, "Just a passerby. ”

Jin Gu glanced at her in disbelief, there was still a residual horror in her eyes, and she muttered, "Are you sent by Concubine De to kill me?" ”

Janeway shook her head.

Jin Gu seemed to think of something, and there was a terrifying panic in her eyes: "Hurry up, you go quickly!" ”

Janeway didn't understand what she meant. Jin Gu saw that Jian Wei was still stunned, and almost cried: "You were sent by your sister, right, hurry up, you hurry up, I can't affect my sister." ”

Although Jian Wei didn't understand what she meant, she was afraid that she would alarm others if she was so excited, so she hurriedly stuffed two of the pastries in her hand in her hand, and just wanted to speak, there was a voice in front of Qiu Yunxuan, and she hurriedly flashed into the bushes on the side.

The two women who looked like palace maids entered the palace gate while whispering, and the woman who walked a little ahead glanced at Zhao Jingu, turned back to the other woman and said, "Cui Qiao, look, you are still in good spirits now." ”

Cui Qiao raised her eyes and looked at it, and said with a sigh: "When I went out in the evening, I was still faint, how would this be down." She raised her chin and motioned to the woman, "Zisu, look at what's going on?" But it's almost gone, the last spirit? ”

Janeway listened to their indifferent conversation, and was filled with anger, both angry that they despised life so much, and worried that they would be seen out.

She looked at Zisu closely and watched her step forward. Zi Su picked up the palace lamp, and in the dim light, she only saw that Jin Gu's clothes were already soaked, and she immediately shouted: "This slut secretly drank water!" ”

Cui Qiao said in disbelief: "What! ”

The two soon became bustling, and there were voices in the depths of Qiu Yunxuan. Jian Wei was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do, but Zhao Jingu suddenly staggered up like crazy, turned around and ran towards the house, she was covered in blood all over her body, she struggled to walk, and shouted loudly while running, those words seemed to have been buried in her heart for many, many years, she had been crouching, enduring it, and now it finally surged out like a volcano: "Father! Queen mother! Where are you!! Where are you? ”

Her voice was poignant and desperate, with heart-rending grief, and when Janeway looked at her like this, she only felt that her weak chest was also instantly filled with blood.

She knew what Jin Gu meant, she was desperately trying her to help her lead these people away, and she tried almost all her strength to save her sister. Her tears were about to fall, and her feet almost went straight to her, but she tried her best to resist the urge to rush forward desperately, clenching her fists tightly, and the pain of her fingernails cutting through her palms forced herself to calm down. She sneaked out of the palace, and when she was about to go out, she saw Jin Gu who had fallen to the ground, lying on the ground exhausted, Zi Su and Cui Qiao were kicking and beating her, and they were yelling at something.

Her tears finally flowed, and she was filled with grief and anger at her carelessness and inadequacy, at her powerlessness and naivety. But she can't do anything now, her humble identity and weak body may even affect Zhang Zhaoyuan.

She ran wildly in the night, with a crazy mood like a beast in her heart, and the Changchun Hall was in front of her, but it was far away like a dream.

Soon the entire Yongning Palace was noisy, all the palace lights were lit, and the palace doors of all the inner halls were closed in turn, and those layers of palace doors made a dull closing sound like a death knell.

In front of him, the bright sword light of the guards cut through the night, and hurried in the direction of Jian Wei.

Janeway stood there like a hasty and feeble elk.
