In the spring of the first year of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty

The majestic palace buildings are heavy, and the vermilion palace walls are winding and twisting, and they have been submerged into the farthest palace garden.

Bypassing the last palace of the West Sixth Palace, it takes another tea time to reach the last palace - Liusa Palace.

The name of this palace has an inexplicable ominous atmosphere.

And Liusa Palace is indeed a place that the harem concubines can't avoid, just because this Liusa Palace is a cold palace in the Eastern Zhou Palace.

Originally, there was no name, but it was inscribed by the current saint after it was moved to this palace after it was abolished.

After the abolition, her mother's surname is Ye, and her single name is a clear character.

She was originally the eldest daughter of the first-class family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and was given by the first emperor to marry the current emperor at that time, and was the most honorable hostess of the East Palace.

She has accompanied her all the way from the crown prince to the emperor for ten years, and she has also jumped from the crown princess to the lord of the six palaces.

But she had only been on the queen's throne for only a month, and she was deposed because of an unwarranted 'witch' incident and was confined in the Liusa Palace.

No one in her mother's family stood up to speak for her, and even the maid she married back then was dispersed on the day she was deposed.

There were only two big palace maids left, and they were imprisoned in the Liusa Palace with her.

When she became queen, it was the early autumn of last year, and the day she was deposed was a rainy day, and a continuous drizzle sprinkled from the air, reflecting the backs of her and her two maids, desolate and depressed.

From the autumn of last year to the spring of the new year after Emperor Huan changed the year name, she has been locked up in the Liusa Palace for eight months.

Since the emperor abolished her and locked her up, he seems to have forgotten her as a person, and the harem concubines have also forgotten her existence, but they have never come to Liusa Palace to make trouble, watch her jokes, and bully her.

Ye Qing was not hysterical, nor did she complain or cry in the days when she was abolished, but accepted her fate calmly, and An Fen was imprisoned at any time.

To say that the only thing that worries her is her son who was born not long ago before she was deposed and imprisoned in the Liusa Palace.

On the day she gave birth, the emperor ordered her son to be taken away, and he didn't even let her look at it.

She is in the Liusa Palace every day, in addition to sitting quietly in front of the window, watching the sun rise and the moon set, watching the autumn go to winter, and watching the spring return to the earth, she misses her son.

"Niangniang, are you thinking about Your Highness again?"

The two big palace maids who followed her into the Liusa Palace, one was called Chunhua and the other was Qiuyue.

Both of these were selected for her by her early death biological mother, who grew up with her, and entered the East Palace as her companion.

The two did not become one of Emperor Huan's women, nor did they leave the palace to marry, and they have always been by her side.

Chunhua is a non-talkative person, but she has good needlework and cooking skills.

After she was abolished in the cold palace, she didn't suffer much grievances in terms of food and clothing.

Qiuyue is a little more lively than her.

At this moment, Chunhua was tinkering with the food she came up with in the small kitchen, and Qiuyue pinched some freshly blooming flowers from the yard and came to the window.

"yes, I don't know if he's fat or thin. I don't know if he loves to cry or laugh. ”

Ye Qingbi's slightly reduced face after being deposed, showed a faint smile, looking at the flowers that Qiu Yue held up in front of her eyes, but her mind flew to the outside of the Liusa Palace, and flew to the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother was located.

After her son was snatched away, the only comfort she could find was that the child was taken to Cining Palace and taken over by the Queen Mother.

Maybe there are really not many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the world who have a good relationship, and her relationship with the queen mother is light.

No, it was the Queen Mother who unilaterally did not want to see her.

But after all, her son is also the son of Emperor Huan, the grandson of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager will never treat her again, and she will not let the people under her hurt and mistreat her son.

It's just......

Ye Qing's heart was slightly sunny, the queen mother would take over her son, and she would inevitably hold that even if their mother and son met in the future, she would let her son only be close to the queen mother, not to her, the biological mother.

Thinking of this, she exhaled softly.

She can't take care of much anymore, as long as her son can live and leave Beijing safely in the future to be a prince with a fief, she has nothing else to ask for.

As for fantasizing about her son becoming the next emperor, and then taking her, the biological mother, out of the cold palace, and letting her regain the scenery of the lord of the six palaces, she would never think about it.

"Niangniang, I just made a new snack, you can try it."

Chunhua came out of the small kitchen with a plate of small biscuits and squeezed Qiuyue out of front of the window.

Qiu Yue consciously lost her words, hurriedly picked up the bouquet of flowers, and took two steps back.

Ye Qing didn't actually have much appetite, but when he saw the golden biscuits made by Chunhua on the plate, he still took one and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"It's not too sweet, it tastes light, and I eat it just right."

The little biscuit melts in her mouth, and when she eats it, there is a faint fragrance that fills her mouth and goes all the way to her stomach.

"Niangniang, if you like it, eat more." Chunhua persuaded her to eat more for the first time, but she usually decided whether to eat or not according to her own preferences.

Ye Qing stopped when he wanted to take the second biscuit, and suddenly turned his head to look at Chunhua, as well as Qiuyue who was holding flowers, and saw the weakness and nervousness in the eyes of the two of them.

Before she could spit out the small biscuit she had eaten, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, which made her eyes darken, and she opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"Niangniang, don't blame the slaves and maids for being ruthless, if you weren't useless, you were still content with the status quo after being abolished, and refused to struggle out of the cold palace, the slaves and maids wouldn't harm you."

Ye Qing, who slipped and fell to the ground softly, saw that the two who had always been loyal and honest had changed their faces and changed their faces to a snarky face.

"Do you think that if you betray me, it will end well?"

"It's time for the mother, the mother still cares about the slaves, you still care about yourself."

Qiu Yue threw the flowers to the ground and followed Chunhua into the inner hall, the two of them left and right, one pressed her arm so hard that she couldn't move, and the other put wet mulberry paper on her face one after another.

Ye Qing, who was lying on his back, gradually couldn't see everything in front of him clearly, and even breathing became difficult.

There seemed to be a fire burning in her chest, burning her from the inside out, and she wanted to curl up in pain, but she didn't do anything.

She stopped struggling, or rather, she didn't have the strength to struggle at all, and just lay still, waiting for it to end.
