But if you really go...... She shivered all the time, and seemed to be able to see Emperor Hua and his concubines imprisoned in the dilapidated palace, waiting for death day after day...... That place was no less than Shura's hell to her.

Ouyang Zhen couldn't think about it, so he had to gossip with Concubine Chu, and the two waited for a day, but the queen did not pass on the edict.

Concubine Chu breathed a long sigh of relief, and her complexion eased after a day's tense face, and said with a smile: "Xu is the queen is joking." It's time for the concubine to go, but she's tired. ”

Ouyang Zhen hurriedly sent Concubine Chu back, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, tiredness hit, and he lay on the bed.

Wan Hui brought a bowl of soothing red date soup, Ouyang Zhen drank half of it with a bitter face, and pushed: "Don't drink it, I'm tired and panicked." Today, I heard the princess say that the queen wants to see me, why am I flustered. The soul can't return to its place for a day. ”

Wan Hui stepped forward and loosened her bun, gently helped her push a few acupoints, and said while pushing: "That's, the slaves and maids are also frightened, it is said that the lady is now a person of the Hou Ye, why is the queen interested in meeting her?" I don't know if there's any evil hidden here. ”

Ouyang Zhen let out a long breath, lowered his eyes, and his long and thick eyelashes cast a pale green shadow on the white jade face, and his beautiful face was full of tiredness and coldness, and said faintly: "Auntie, I think of those people in that palace, I am afraid, I don't know what they have become now, if I hadn't followed Master Hou, maybe I would have followed Ling Yu now, and Ling Xiang would have been locked up there...... It's horrible......"

Wan Hui sighed when she heard this, her eyes looked at a place in a daze, and suddenly sneered: "Madame has never seen people in the cold palace, all of them are unkempt, they go out to bask in the sun when it is dawn, and when it gets dark, they go back to hide and sleep, the quilts are all black, smelly, wooden on the face, and the eyeballs will not roll, just like ...... It's like the living dead. ”

The Living Dead?!

Ouyang Zhen trembled twice, turned around, saw her in a trance, knew that she must have remembered something, shook her hand, only to feel that her hand was cold.

Wan Hui You said unconsciously: "Those people are all people who have committed Tianyan, or they have committed crimes, and they have been imprisoned." It's so cold in that place, and it's cold in my bones. The slave and maid were thinking, if they did it all over again, the slave and maid would die headlong on the palace wall and would not want to come in again. When I can get out of that place, I don't think about any backbone or any high spirit. ”

As soon as she came back to her senses, she saw Ouyang Zhen's worried face, and smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for Niangniang who saved the slave, the slave and maid might also be an immortal person at this time." On that day, the Chu army captured the Hua Palace, and did not hide it from the mother, the slave maid felt very happy in her heart, and the slave maid felt that this was also freedom. I was thinking about one day when I ran away, but I saw my mother that day...... Seeing Niangniang, the slave dispelled this idea, and the slave thought that if Niangniang couldn't think about it, the slave and maid would persuade Niangniang to earn a living, and never let Niangniang commit suicide. Now that Niangniang has come all the way, although it is not smooth, she can be regarded as finding a good person. ”

After Wan Hui finished speaking, she paused, and said solemnly: "Since Niangniang has chosen this path, don't look back, the bitter can only be herself, no matter what he reads The rich and noble is not lewd, mighty and unyielding, the slave only knows that Niangniang is a woman, and this Huaguo should have died a long time ago, and what we women can protect can only be ourselves, and our own children." ”

Ouyang Zhen nodded with tears in his eyes.

What's the use of thinking about it again? Already, there is no going back.

……

After more than half a month, there was no movement in the palace, Concubine Chu and Ouyang Zhen were really relieved, Chu Huotian still hadn't returned to the mansion, and he didn't know where he went. Ouyang Zhen heard Dexuan say that it seemed that he had gone to some Guangjun, which seemed to be extremely secretive, Ouyang Zhen didn't want to bother to guess, and Dexuan said that the emperor was better again, but he couldn't go to court early, but he could approve the chapter or something. The eldest prince is waiting by his side at any time, and it seems that it is certain that the eldest prince will be appointed as the crown prince.

The queen's side seems to be in no hurry again.

The more Ouyang Zhen thought about it, the more strange he felt, but he couldn't say where it was weird.

Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to. The big thing is not for her to ask, she has seen Chu Huotian's courage and ability, in the current complicated situation of the Chu State, he at least has the ability to protect himself, so she is not worried at all.

At the end of July, the summer heat in Chu was in full swing, and suddenly the queen wanted to hold a "summer banquet", and invited the wives, the wives and so on. This time on July 29.

Concubine Chu must be on the list, and Liu's name is also in the post. Concubine Chu took the big red gold post and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said, "Ah, Sister Ouyang is going there this time." ”

Ouyang Zhen was sitting down, his three-month-old belly was slightly bulging, it was so hot that he couldn't stop shaking a jade pendant sandalwood fan, and when he heard it, he was so shocked that the fan fell to the ground.

"Princess, don't go to the concubine, there are many concubines who are worried about ......" Ouyang Zhen's smooth forehead sweated, and he said with a forced smile.

Concubine Chu looked at the post and sighed: "It's really not okay not to go this time, look at it, many of the royal ministers' relatives have gone, if you don't go, you can't say it." But sister, don't worry, when the time comes, find a few neat girls to follow, and you'll just have to eat. Don't bother with anything else. ”

Ouyang Zhen nodded hesitantly and agreed.

Liu also smiled: "Sister, don't worry, it's just an ordinary banquet." So many people go together, not so many ways. ”

A few people talked and laughed for a while, Xu had not yet thought about it in his yard, and without her, several ladies were a lot more comfortable and spoke a lot more casually.

After gossiping for a while, it dispersed.

Ouyang Zhen returned to the "Jingyun Pavilion", still worried.

When Wan Hui heard this, she was also a little worried: "Not to mention that there are too many people, on this hot day, it is really annoying to go to a banquet where you can't eat enough." ”

Ouyang Zhen sighed. When Chu Huotian came over that night, he heard her say this, frowned and said, "Then don't go, if you don't go, the woman won't dare to say anything if you don't go." Borrowing her ten guts, she didn't dare to be charged with anything. His tone was light, but full of confidence.

Ouyang Zhen buried his head in his arms, there was a kind of grass fragrance in his arms, and the ambergris that was always on his body seemed to be much lighter, I don't know if it was because he often went out of the house. The new smell gave her a sense of solidity, and she no longer felt afraid.
