Chapter 242: Fermentation
During the reign of Zhou Guanzhao, the harem was almost completely deserted and abandoned, several palaces before the queen's life were still arranged to be taken care of, and there were no concubines living in the rest of the palaces, but the palace maids were arranged to manage them.
Since five years ago, the cold palaces of the first emperors, led by the Qingmu Palace, have been more and more idle and closed. Those places are not even sent to the palace.,Close the door all day long.,From time to time, there are people who disappear and die for no reason.,It's rumored that it's a good relationship with yourself and ran to the wrong place.,Break in and find a way to die.,It's those who try to enter the cold palace out of curiosity.,In the end, most of them ended up missing.。 As for where these missing people went, no one knew, and no one dared to explore it anymore, and gradually the palace people spontaneously stayed away from those places.
Zhou Guanzhao walked forward quickly in the night, and Peng Rong, who was carrying a lantern in front of him, lowered his head nervously.
After Peng Rong greeted him in advance, there were already people guarding the palace gate, and when they saw Peng Rong's lamp coming, they spontaneously lowered the bolt, pushed open the door, and gave the width that could pass through the two people.
Zhou Guanzhao stepped over with a cold face, and the palace man guarding the door closed the door again silently, and when the two doors closed behind each other, with the muffled sound that echoed in the darkness, Zhou Guanzhao's heart jumped for no reason, and he jumped in a panic.
There is no longer a night light in the cold palace, and it is pitch black that you can't see your fingers all the way, since the eyes appeared, the starlight and moonlight at night have gradually faded, and the boss has a moon hanging in the sky clearly, but I don't see it through the light, as if something has blocked the light on the sky.
The road was all illuminated by Peng Rong's lamp, and the wind at night was cool and fast, as if a cold hand had swept past the body. Zhou Guanzhao recalled that the two palace entrances that closed the door were in a strange shape, but then he remembered that the palace people here were all selected from the Mitian Division, and as her secret guard, they were naturally different from ordinary palace people.
She sighed silently and tapped her head lightly.
Peng Rong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, but I'm sleepy." ”
"I just feel that my brain is getting worse and worse," Zhou Guanzhao said, "In the past, it was impossible for me to forget what I had arranged. ”
Peng Rong got the emperor's clueless sentence and said, "It's Your Majesty who has been too tired recently." ”
Zhou Guanzhao snorted and laughed, she has been tired recently, but she is not tired of national politics, Yu Su is about to wake up, she is getting sicker and sicker, she has a headache and can't pull out a knife to cut her head off, her face is sallow, and she rolls from the bed to the ground until she is hurt until she falls into a coma. The palace people who served her were secretly scared when they saw it, and they didn't know why she suddenly became seriously ill.
When she woke up, she was cowardly again, but she didn't dare to say it, the folds of the batch, the morning should still be on the top, after the hysteria, she pretended not to care very much, and would rather let people scold her behind her back for neglecting the government and misleading the country, or what kind of ignorance, sometimes she has to tolerate some courtiers who dare to rebel, after all, the secret guard is in hand, and her eyeliner is too much, count it her fault. If it weren't for tolerance, the ordinary courtiers in the DPRK and China would not be able to survive, not to mention that they were insulting and ugly, but they were really loyal and painstaking.
If these people are uprooted, then she will have nothing to do.
Zhou Guanzhao relied on them, and these courtiers also relied on Zhou Guanzhao, they were afraid that the idea in their family would be spied on and something would happen, and Zhou Guanzhao was also afraid that they would know about their illness.
During the period when hysteria was raging, it could no longer be rumored that the emperor was afraid of hysteria. It's a messy thing.
After passing through three palace gates, she stepped into Qingmu Palace, she waved her hand to make Peng Rong stop, and she carried the lamp and continued to walk forward, Peng Rong did not dare to stop, hanging her two hands, watching her back under the light of the gently jumping lamp, it looked a little jumping.
Peng Rong suddenly squinted his eyes, and then rubbed it vigorously, he felt that he was probably wrong, but it was real, and when he saw the back jumping, he actually jumped out of two heads.
As soon as the head stretched and shrank, it stopped at Zhou Guanzhao's shoulder, it was a hairband hairpin, and it swayed horizontally, swaying and swaying, especially abruptly.
However, when I looked at the ground, there was no shadow of the head on the ground, the head was only on Zhou Guanzhao's shoulder, which was intimate and natural to make Zhou Guanzhao look like a two-headed deformed monster.
Peng Rong's eyes stared, trembling slightly, he recognized that he was an old man who had served in the palace for a long time, and the first emperor had rewarded the six princesses with a very expensive step shake, with the financial resources of the six princesses at that time, this was quite a luxurious piece of jewelry, so he wore it every day, as if he didn't wear it, he couldn't see his father's love for him.
Later, the sixth princess was sent out of the palace, and when she came back, she was already the steward of the Mitian Division, her expression and style of acting were very different from the past, but after all, it was still the sixth princess, Peng Rong sent the first emperor away, and followed her, and never saw her wear that step again.
He finally gasped and pursed his mouth, Zhou Guanzhao turned a corner, the lights disappeared, his back, and the head on it disappeared.
After Zhou Guanzhao came in, he felt that this place was very uncomfortable.
She felt wet and sticky for a while, and then felt stuffy and couldn't breathe, and after two more steps, her throat became dry, and she just wanted to find water to drink.
But she was dry and dry, and when she swallowed her saliva hard, she didn't feel dry anymore, Zhou Guanzhao twisted her eyebrows and walked forward, no one cleaned up in the front yard of Qingmu Palace, and there were weeds that grew over her knees.
Zhou Guanzhao hit it, rubbed it with her fingers, and the grass hurt her fingers, so she put it away, and her feet were always uneven. Zhou Guanzhao himself has blood in his hands, it can be said that there are countless souls, and after walking for a while, he will have a bottom for the injustice under his feet.
She lowered the light and shone it down, and sure enough, she saw a piece of hair that had broken through the earth, growing dirtily in the ground, and stepped on it hard, about the shoulder blades of the bones in the ground.
Zhou Guanzhao took a breath, stepped on the unevenness along the way, and walked over and entered the main hall.
The hall was pitch black, and there was an indescribable strong smell, but there was no smell of smoke and dust, but people often walked around.
There was a small attic in the main hall, and she touched it with the help of memory, reached out and pressed the mechanism, and a door with a road opened in front of her.
Zhou Guanzhao didn't hesitate to go down.
More than 10 years have passed since she set up this place with her own hands, and her memory is very fresh, but her mood is completely different.
Or go back to earlier, thinking about how she was hidden under the palace maid to hide from the jealous concubine, and the eyes of the palace people, the mood of the people did not overlap in the slightest with the present.
At that time, she didn't know that she was afraid at all, and she was more resentful in her heart, even when she was still uncertain about her biological father's identity, Zhou Guanzhao hated such days, she heard people call her a mouse, she was a living person with both hands and feet, and she had to rely on the care of those palace maids.
Many times when the palace maid didn't come, she had no food to eat, no water to drink, and she was covered in stinky sweat in the summer, staring at the bean-sized lamp in a daze, and the sweat flowed from her face, and she was almost confused, thinking that she was going to suffocate here.
The palace maid came, she was going to take medicine, she was groggy, she was sent to a person, she felt like she was being cut open, a hand reached into her abdominal cavity and stirred around, one moment touched her intestines, the next moment gently scratched her ribs, bloody hair slippery, she closed her eyes and trembled terribly.
But when she woke up, as soon as she touched her stomach, she was fine again, there were some ugly stitches on her body, and she was always worried that the person would touch her stomach pouch when she ate, and all the food she ate would slide into her heart, liver and spleen, and the soup would melt into her blood, and she smelled like food now.
Thinking about it, her stomach really hurt, she rolled on the ground, someone touched her sweaty face, and said, "She's sick." ”
has been sick for a long time, Zhou Guanzhao was still called Zheng Tang at that time, and the palace people shouted her name in a fuss, Zheng Tang, Zheng Tang, why are you so sick?
But she didn't ask for a doctor, didn't let her take medicine, and later she grew up, knowing that the silver money she had prepared for raising her had already been used by those palace people themselves, and before it was time to issue the silver money, they used their own money to inevitably seem too favorable.
So she was given medicine again in her illness to be delivered to the man who disemboweled, and they said, "If she dies at the hands of that man, it will be an accident that has nothing to do with us." ”
It's a pity that the person didn't open her belly again, touched her, sighed softly, and asked, "Have you fed the medicine?" ”
The palace people replied: "Hey, it turned out to be fine, but somehow it was suddenly like this." ”
The man picked her up and carried her into the inner bed, where she had never been before.
At that time, she was a little bit of a return, vague, and asked, "Who sent you from the ghost?" ”
"I'm Jiang Liyan." The man replied, a cold handkerchief on her head, and a smell of medicine: "Your father sent you to ask for your life." ”
He paused and said, "Do you know that this is your father?" ”
Zheng Tang was sober for a moment, his eyes were staring, and he said clearly: "I want him to die." ”
After saying that, he passed out.
She was closed and dimly underground, like a rotten fruit, and the emperor thought that he could make wine to save his daughter, but he did not know that she had fermented into a puddle of rotten things surrounded by flies and insects, so the day she was opened from the ground, his life was poisoned.
Later, she took Yu Su to this underground again, and there was only infinite ecstasy and excitement in her heart, and she really pinched such things as power and power in her hands for the first time, and she couldn't help herself happily, even if she lost something because of it, it seemed so insignificant at that time.
How young and arrogant I used to be, thinking that I could easily dominate, but I never thought that the power I dominated was given by others.
Finally, today, she was finally eaten by the power she had been relying on.
Zhou Guanzhao walked down step by step, and for the first time he had a huge fear.
