Chapter 214: The Cold Palace (1)
After entering the door of the cold palace for a long time, it was suddenly quiet.
Originally, there was only the sound of the wind and grass, and now the only sound is that the voices of the palace maids are also isolated by her.
It was another month before she came to see Concubine Jing, in fact, every time she saw Concubine Jing, she needed to summon up a lot of courage, even if she was herself, she didn't know what she was afraid of.
In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, after all, after so many years, judging from the month and month, she should have already formed a habit.
But, but...... No matter what, she can't get used to it, no matter what, as long as she walks into the cold palaceβno, she doesn't even need to enter the cold palace, as long as she is close to this side, it seems that she can hear a lot of cries from here.
This is Chi Chi's memory of this body when she was a child, and before she was a few years old, Concubine Jing had already left her and was imprisoned in the cold palace.
At the beginning, Concubine Jing was not crazy, but when she came to the cold palace for a long time, there were many other concubines on the side, and most of them were already crazy, wailing in the cold palace every day, or laughing stupidly.
This left a very deep shadow in the young Chi Chi's heart, so that after so many years, the memory of this body is still there, even if the soul is no longer the weak and pitiful soul it used to be, but the body is still there.
She stood in front of the door and took a deep breath for a long time, and then called twice, "Mother is me, I am Chi Chi, I have come to see you." β
There was no answer inside.
The delay in the rules is because Concubine Jing was the rules before, if it was unprovoked or not called, she broke in directly, for Concubine Jing, it seemed to be back to the days when the palace was raided that year, Concubine Jing would be violently frightened, and even pouted in fright.
I remember this deeply for a long time, so I never dare to forget it.
Chi Chi stood for a while, but there was still no sound, Chi Chi knocked lightly on the door, and then gently pushed the door in.
Suddenly, as soon as you enter the door, there is a cave.
This is different from the withered and dilapidated outside, there is a charcoal fire burning in the house, and you can feel the full warmth even when you step on the ground, and it is estimated that the earth dragon has also been burned.
I was frightened by my own thoughts.
Burning the earth dragon in the cold palace? Who has such a big ability? And who is so bold?
It's as warm as spring, and it's the same as the late Jinyang Palace, and even the room is not thatched and messy like before, but it's orderly in chaos.
She panicked, this, is this still a cold palace?
If it weren't for the ruins and snow outside, she would have thought she was in the wrong place.
Walking further inside, I saw Concubine Jing, who had never answered, and now she was sleeping on the soft pillow of the high bed, wrapped in a thick brocade quilt.
He walked over in a daze, and then sat down on the edge of her bed, feeling that he didn't have enough brains, what was going on.
In fact, she just couldn't believe it, because she actually knew what was going on.
Tong Gong said that he would take care of the person who reassured her from the cold palace, but it was just that Cao Tingyu.
But she never thought that Cao Tingyue would have such a big courage, what kind of care did she say about taking care of this entire cold palace, it was clear that everything had changed.
Who dares to say that this is a cold palace in the eyes of others......
Concubine Jing woke up suddenly, she opened her eyes leisurely, then looked at Chi Chi, and looked again, it seemed that she didn't recognize her a little, but it seemed that she knew it again.
She smiled at Chi Chi and said softly, "You're here." β
Chi Chi nodded, "Yes, the concubine, the retainer has come to see you." β
Concubine Jing's state turned out to be so stable, and she was pleasantly surprised, after all, it had been many years since she had been able to talk to Concubine Jing so well.
"How are you doing lately?"
"All is well, what about you, Princess? Are you okay? β
Concubine Jing straightened her messy hair, and sighed in a tone of emotion, "It's been ten years, and I didn't expect that one day I would be able to live such a life." β
Chi Chi's eyes suddenly became wet, "Mother, you have suffered." β
She sniffed, "Don't be afraid, soon, it won't be long, it won't be long, I'll definitely find a way to get you out." β
"Don't cry." Concubine Jing touched Chi Chi's face, "It's not good to look like you're crying." I'm fine now, you see. β
Indeed, this whole house is completely different from before, and there is reason to believe that Concubine Jing who lives here should not continue to suffer as before.
Concubine Jing said, "This period of time is the most peaceful life I have ever lived in the cold palace, no longer need to eat any leftovers, the leftovers are cold, and there is no need to wrap a bed of broken quilts for the winter, the charcoal fire has been burning non-stop for twelve hours, it is very warm, don't worry." β
Shaking his head slowly, tears falling rapidly, he couldn't control himself, "No, no." β
In her heart, Concubine Jing should be a thousand times better than this, but she had already suffered so much before.
How did he once favor the harem, even the queen couldn't catch up, but now it has fallen to this point.
But the initiator is still living a good life, and the only trouble is whether his son has a chance to become a prince.
As for Concubine Jing, it is enough to be happy because she can have a life of charcoal fire and earth dragon and food and clothing here.
Why, why!!
Chi Chi's eyes became more and more cold, and his face became more and more bad.
Concubine Jing suddenly held her hand, and then said in a gentle voice, "Delayed." β
Chi Chi was stunned for a moment, too many years, too many years, I haven't heard Concubine Jing call her like this, most of the time Concubine Jing can talk to her, that is, words like "you", "eh".
There is no such gentle way to call her, "Chi Chi".
It seems that Chi Chi is still a treasure in her arms many years ago.
"Actually, I'm fine now, really, don't be unhappy because I have so many emotions in my heart."
I couldn't speak.
Concubine Jing said, "I have been in the cold palace for many years, and I have no resentment or hatred in my heart, and the only thing I want in my heart is actually just that I can be happy and happy, and I can also meet someone who loves you and you love." Don't be like this with your mother, it's fine. β
As soon as he leaned forward, he approached Concubine Jing's arms, and then said, "I don't want to get married." β
Concubine Jing laughed, "How can you not get married, your daughter's family is old and she always wants to marry." β
"What I'm thinking about now is that I want to ask my mother to come out of this place, and I don't want anything else."
Concubine Jing was silent for a moment, and then said, "It doesn't matter where the concubine is, a good environment is actually just to make me feel calmer, so that I won't go crazy and scare my delay, but everything else is the same, even if I go back to the previous palace and live my previous life, but I can't go back to the past." β
Chi Chi just said, "I know, I know everything." But I just don't want to ......."
I just don't want you to spend your life here with such grievances, so I retreated and left Concubine Jing's arms, "Mother, I will already bring you out of here, don't worry." β
Concubine Jing seems to have something to say, but seeing that Chi Chi is so firm, it's hard to say anything.
It's getting bigger and bigger, so naturally it has its own opinions.
She just asked, "My yard is handled by your people?" β
is vague, how to say it, even if it is her, it can't be called her.
Concubine Jing said, "It's too dangerous." β
Indeed, if such a battle is made in the cold palace, if someone finds out, it is not a capital crime.
At that time, the emperor will inevitably blame Chi Chi.
This Concubine Jing definitely doesn't want to see it.
Chi Chi shook his head, "Don't worry, no one will find out." β
Not to mention that this winter's cold palace is really a bird that doesn't lay eggs, whoever walks over here is afraid of being frozen to death, besides, everyone feels that the cold palace is unlucky, and most of them don't want to really come in, so look at the door, even if I have been at the door for a long time, I haven't found anything in this room.
In addition, Cao Tingyu has always been as careful as dust, since he dared to do this, he was naturally completely prepared, so he was not worried.
She was vague for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, concubine, it'll be fine." β
Concubine Jing didn't know what she was doing outside, she was still like that before, and now she already has such an ability, but no matter what, Concubine Jing won't say anything more, and asks her what she did.
It's just that for this daughter, Concubine Jing must have believed it completely, she patted Chi Chi's hand, sighed, and then wanted to speak, but before she could speak, the outside door was suddenly patted.
Chi Chi frowned, "What's the matter?" β
Concubine Jing looked at her, and her voice suddenly became cold, when did her daughter become such a person who could support her head.
Outside was Ah Wei's voice, very anxious, "Your Highness, Concubine Rou Niangniang is coming here with people, no matter what she does, she is going to come in, and now Ah Zhi is blocking outside, but Concubine Rou Niangniang doesn't look good, I'm afraid that it won't be able to stop for a long time, and please ask Your Highness to come out early to call the shots." β
Concubine Jing frowned, "Concubine Rou? β
After standing up for a long time, he said, "Don't worry about the concubine, it's all a trivial matter, I'll just go out and deal with it." β
Concubine Jing pulled her, "You don't want to have too much conflict with people, this is in the cold palace, if it makes a big fuss, I'm afraid that the queen will ......."
Chi Chi shook his head, "Queen? Queen, what can she do now? β
Chi Chi's tone was arrogant, and he didn't seem to take the queen in his eyes at all, and Concubine Jing was stunned for a moment.
Chi Chi said, "This is that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys dare to come out and toss." β
She walked outside, "Rest the concubine, I'll find time to come back to see you." β
