The old lady was in a daze, and glanced at the noble lady from behind, but did not dare to speak.

Qingning Palace, the palace where Concubine Liu is imprisoned.

The queen mother has been in the deep palace for decades, and it is impossible not to recognize the various paths in the palace.

It's no accident that I've come here.

The Queen Mother wants to find Concubine Liu!

"Qingning Palace," looking up, looking at the dusty plaque above the palace, the Empress Dowager read those three words lightly, "Since you are here, let's go in and have a look." ”

"Queen Mother......" The old lady wanted to speak and stopped.

Concubine Liu was imprisoned and was not allowed to be visited.

This is the iron law ordered by the king of Nanling.

If the queen mother wants to go in, it is tantamount to turning a deaf ear to the words of King Nanling, and the two will inevitably have to conflict again afterwards.

"What, where do you want to go, you can't go?"

"That's not what the old slave meant, the Queen Mother is angry!"

Stretching her sleeves, the Queen Mother took a step, slowly stepped on the steps in front of the hall, and walked inside.

The eunuchs guarding the gate of the temple did not dare to stop them.

The door of the heavy hall opened with a babble, and the queen mother's eyes crossed the rusty copper buckle and stepped over the threshold to enter.

Looking around, the snow in the hall has not yet melted completely, mottled and scattered on the ground, in addition to the broken snow, there are dry and fallen leaves blown by the cold wind, and there are dead weeds in the four corners of the hall, waiting for the next spring to sprout and spit green again.

All the way inside, I couldn't see a single minion.

"In the past, when the mourning family was still in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qingning Palace was the most prosperous in the harem, and the mourning family could imagine the scene at that time. Unexpectedly, in just ten days, the huge palace became like this, as cold and silent. ”

seems to sigh, mixed with the sadness and loneliness of the dead rabbit and the fox.

The old lady didn't dare to talk, because she couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother meant by saying this.

Is it really lamenting the impermanence of the world, or is it gloating about the concubine Liu who once stepped on her head and finally fell into this situation.

It's all like, and it's not like it.

Walking to the inner hall, the door of the temple is still closed, and there is no sound inside, as if the temple is empty.

The old lady stepped forward with two steps, stretched out her hand and pushed the door open, and the scene inside slowly appeared.

It's a mess.

There are porcelain and jade fragments everywhere, looking at the traces, they have been broken for a long time, and no one has come to clean them so far.

"Queen Mother, watch your step." The old lady reminded.

There is almost no place to settle here, and if you are not careful, the sole of your shoe can step on the splinter.

She can't imagine how Concubine Liu lives in such an environment.

Looking up, she could even see cobwebs in various corners of the temple.

Where is this Qingning Palace, it is clearly no different from the Cold Palace.

Concubine Liu sat in the innermost part of the main hall, on the chaise longue with mottled skin.

Wearing a luxurious and old and dirty brocade dress, her face was pale from the cold, and she was described as withered and haggard.

And beside her, there was a thick cotton jacket, only sewn from gray cotton cloth, which was worn by the palace servants when they were in the cold.

"It's all this time, and you're still guarding that bit of pride, if you really freeze to death, are you willing?" Walking over, the queen mother picked up the padded jacket and put it on with Concubine Liu in person.

The gaze fell on her gray bun.

"It's a lot older, and people will age very quickly after sad things," the queen mother laughed at herself, turned around and sat down on the circle chair opposite Concubine Liu, "Look at the mourning family, a girl is the average age, even two years younger than you, and her hair is all white." ”

Concubine Liu turned her stiff neck and looked at her, her eyes cloudy and dull, barely bright.

It was a hopeless look, hopeless, all devoid of all eyes.

"Back then, in order to compete for favor, you didn't stumble on the mourning family, but now, the mourning family is still the queen mother, and you, after a few years of rampant in the harem, have become like this. You say you, why do you want to follow the trend of Qingbai? ”

"Queen Mother, are you here to ridicule the palace?" The withered woman over there spoke, her voice dry and hoarse, as if she had not spoken for a long time, and it was particularly difficult to speak.

"No, the mourning family just came to see you." The Queen Mother smiled, "Look at your current appearance, perhaps, the mourning family will be like you in the future." ”

Concubine Liu was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed, her laughter was weird and ugly, "The Queen Mother just counted why the palace wants to fight with Qingbai, what about you?" When you came out of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, did you just enjoy the majesty of the Queen Mother, to see how your enemy took care of the Nanling rivers and mountains in an orderly manner, and to see how he called for wind and rain in Nanling, and the scenery was infinite? ”

"You've been locked up for so long, no one has come to see you except for your loving family, right?" The queen mother turned a deaf ear to her ridicule, did not react superfluously, and got up, "Once you have met, the mourning family has come to see you, which is considered to be the full sisterhood of the past." Hello do it yourself. ”

Seeing that the woman was leaving, Concubine Liu stood up from the chaise longue suddenly, her eyes red and fierce, "You fool! I'm not willing to die here like this, are you willing to watch the enemy go higher and higher! Don't forget, both of your sons died at his hands! It was he who caused you to send white-haired people to black-haired people, and it was he who caused you to die in the future, and no one would help you to send your soul! ”

"The mourning family is the queen mother, she is dead, and the emperor has sent her own sect, so you don't need to worry about the mourning family."

The door of the temple was closed again, and all the light was shut out, and the temple was plunged into darkness.

Concubine Liu sat down dejectedly, tears overflowing from her dry eyes and sliding down.

Then he burst into a maniacian laugh.

Laughter, more poignant and sharper than crying.

"Since you are so broad-hearted, this palace is waiting to see what happens to you!"

Outsiders said that she was crazy and was driven crazy by King Nanling.

She's not crazy.

It's just that King Nanling said that she was crazy, and everyone regarded her as crazy!

She is not as good as they want, she wants to live well, she wants to see, in the end, what kind of ending they will get one by one!

Here, the queen mother stepped into Qingning Palace with her front foot, and with her back foot, the news reached Feng Qingbai's ears.

At that time, he had just come down from the wedding banquet, went to change his clothes, and took a breath.

Feng Mohan followed him all the time and listened to the news.

"Look, outside the door, it was said that the old woman would not be at ease, she was so dignified, what did she do when she went to Qingning Palace if she had nothing to do? It's definitely going to be a moth! Feng Mohan sneered, "Although Concubine Liu's teeth are pulled out, the flesh of the teeth bites people, and it hurts." Uncle Huang, we must not be on guard. ”

"Today's wedding banquet, don't talk about business." The amorous bar took off the wedding robe and replaced it with a brocade robe for hospitality, and he had to continue to play later, the wine stained by the clothes was too heavy, and he needed to disperse the smell.

He didn't want to wait until he was going to enter the new house, so Sheng Sheng kicked him out.

She didn't like the strong taste.

Feng Mohan blinked his eyes, watching the man change his shirt slowly, and he couldn't find any fluctuations on his face.

Sigh.

He has been the emperor for thirteen years, compared to the short-lived ghost emperors of the previous dynasties, his reigning family is considered to be long, and he can't learn from the calmness of the emperor's uncle.

He still has to learn.
