Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Secrets of the Palace

Fan Xixi was led to change the clothes she was wearing, and two palace maids checked her from top to bottom before letting her go to the cold palace.

Before he arrived, Fan Xixi had already felt a biting chill. It's still the autumn season, and I don't know how her queen mother survived before.

I shuddered deeply.

There were two guards standing in front of the gate of the cold palace, all of them were fresh faces that Fan Xixi had never seen, guarding the gate of the cold palace with a serious face, and they were standing straight.

This is unusual. First of all, Fan Heedy has been in the palace for so many years, and there should be no fresh faces in the guards.

Secondly, this is the cold palace, the most remote corner of the palace, who can these guards stand so faithfully to?

didn't allow Fan Xixi to think too much, and the eunuch who sent her here hugged Fan Xixi in.

The guards in the back followed and locked the door.

Fan Xixi looked up and saw the environment inside the cold palace.

Only then did I find out that the cold palace was very big.

The cold palace, although it is a place to dispose of some degraded women in the harem, is originally just some abandoned palaces that have no money to repair and are too lazy to repair, so they just throw these deposed women here.

There is also a pond in the middle, and some ruined lotus flowers hang down in it, adding to the gloomy feeling.

From a distance, I saw Wu Jing'er, the former queen mother and the current concubine, standing at the door of the main hall and looking at her with a smile.

Wu Jing'er is about three years older than Fan Xixi, but in her twenties, even if she is ruined in this cold palace, her face is white and translucent, and she is dressed in plain clothes, but she is even more plain and beautiful.

Fan Xixi trotted and knelt down in front of Wu Jing'er, and her gratitude was overflowing.

Wu Jing'er stretched out her hand and picked her up, "I'm tired of you, and I want you to accompany me to stay in the cold palace." ”

Fan Xixi raised his head, although the crying pear blossoms brought rain, but there was a joy hidden in his eyes, "I can come to serve you, I am really satisfied." ”

Wu Jing'er sighed and pulled Fan Xixi inside.

Although the tables are very dilapidated, it can be seen that the people who live here take care of everything in the house, clean and tidy, and some dilapidated places have been repaired.

Fan Xixi looked around, "Niangniang, I'm sorry for you." ”

Wu Jing'er even poured her a glass of water, "What's so bitter, I'm happy here!" ”

Fan Xixi saw that Wu Jing'er actually poured water for her, and hurriedly took it, "How can you pour water for me?" ”

Wu Jing'er looked directly into Fan Xixi's eyes, and her face became serious and said, "Xixi, I'm just a commoner here, you can't treat me like this anymore." ”

pulled her to sit on the main seat, and showed a kind smile, "If you don't dislike it, you will recognize me as a sister, and we don't know how long we will stay in this cold palace in the future." ”

Wu Jing'er took Fan Xixi's hand on the table, "We will support each other in the future." ”

Fan Xixi nodded solemnly, as long as it was what her mother wanted, she could do it.

Wu Jing'er turned her finger around the edge of the teacup, and lowered her voice, "Since we are sisters, I won't hide some things from you." ”

"Actually, I am the emperor's half-sister."

Fan Xixi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and quickly got up and knelt down at Wu Jing'er's feet, "Sister, you can't say such rebellious words. ”

Wu Jing'er laughed, "There is no one else here, and I can't hear what I'm saying." ”

"Haven't you wondered before, why didn't I sleep with the emperor, and why did the emperor suddenly get angry and demote me to the cold palace?"

Van Heedy was indeed curious.

But there are some things in this palace that it is better not to know than to know. In the past, she didn't inquire because she didn't want to get involved, but now that she is involved, it is better to be a ghost.

What's more, since Wu Jing'er wants to treat her as a sincere sister and tell the truth, it would be good for her to accompany her as a listener.

got up from the ground and stabilized his mind, "Sister, since you trust me to tell me, then you can rest assured that no one else will know about this matter." ”

Wu Jing'er couldn't be happy, "That's right, I was really embarrassed to death when I stayed in this harem before." ”

Wu Jing'er and Fan Xixi are like little sisters chatting about gossip, Wu Jing'er pulled Fan Xixi to her bed, pulled her on the bed, and told her the origin of everything in detail.

About 20 years ago, the emperor had not yet conquered the world, and was fighting all over the country.

The current queen mother, who was also Wu Xuan back then, the concubine of the former emperor, was raised in Rong Yuanqin's home because of her injury.

Wu Xuan is young and beautiful, while Rong Yuanqin, a young hero who has been fighting all year round, is majestic and reliable. The two soon fell in love with each other, and they had Wu Jing'er.

Wu Xuan wanted to beat Wu Jing'er, after all, she was still the wife and concubine of the former emperor, and once such an unbearable thing was discovered, she would be immersed in the pig cage.

But Rong Yuanqin refused, and kept persuading her that this was the crystallization of their love, he loved Wu Xuan, and he also knew that Wu Xuan would inevitably return to the first emperor's side after his injury, and when the time came, he only had this child to comfort him temporarily.

Wu Xuan was moved by Rong Yuanqin's words, and took advantage of the year of cultivation in the Rong family to give birth to the child and foster it for his younger brother.

As soon as Wu Xuan returned to the first emperor, he gave birth to Jiang Qianliang's son.

Later, after the first emperor's wife went, Jiang Qianliang became the eldest son. Soon the first emperor also went, and Rong Yuanqin helped Wu Xuan's mother and son sit firmly in the emperor's seat.

Jiang Qianliang has actually always had doubts about the relationship between Rong Yuanqin and his mother Wu Xuan, but there has been no evidence.

However, Wang Bingli found evidence out of nowhere, and even proved that the current queen Wu Jing'er is the daughter of Rong Yuanqin and Wu Xuan.

Jiang Qianliang was furious, but at this time Rong Yuanqin was already dead, and his wife and children were also sent to the frontier by him. He had to vent all his anger on Wu Jing'er.

dragged her from the queen's seat and relegated her to the cold palace.

Because Wu Jing'er's existence is like a fish bone, Jiang Qianliang is like a fish in his throat, and he never wants to see her again, and he doesn't want anyone related to Wu Jing'er to exist anymore.

Jiang Qianliang ordered Wang Bingli to deal with the palace maids and eunuchs in Yikun Palace, just to make all the people who knew Wu Jing'er disappear into this world.

But when he really wanted to attack Wu Jing'er, Jiang Qianliang found that he was cowardly again.

Wu Jing'er is his half-sister after all, how can he do it.

even sent guards to watch Wu Jing'er in the cold palace, not letting her die, and not letting her live too badly. But he was going to throw Wu Jing'er in the cold palace for the rest of his life and not let him come out again.

As for the other guard, it was the Queen Mother's person. Although Rong Yuanqin was dead, before Rong Yuanqin died, he had a premonition that he would not be able to return from this trip to the grassland, so he specially entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother and asked her to take care of Wu Jing'er.

No matter how vicious the queen mother is, it is difficult to be ruthless to her daughter and erase this unbearable history. Every time she thought of the way Rong Yuanqin entrusted her when she said goodbye, her heart softened.

Therefore, the Queen Mother also specially sent a guard, mainly to prevent the emperor from attacking Wu Jing'er.
