Chapter 261: Cold Palace

In the darkness, He Jingying only felt a splitting headache, as if she had fallen into the cold pool of the ghost domain and poured cold water into her heart and lungs, and it was like the door of Yiyue Pavilion was pushed open by Chun'er, and the cold wind carried the fragrance of chrysanthemums to her face. What's worse is the pain from her lower abdomen, which makes her want to scream, but she can't make any sound as if she is drowning in water. When she opened her mouth, she was filled with water, but it was bitter.

In the deep pool, there was a light on the cold surface of the lake. She saw Xiao Lian swimming towards her, but Xiao Zhaoye grabbed her by the ankles and kept dragging her deeper into the darkness.

She paddled her limbs desperately, she saw Xiao Lian's paint-like eyes full of sadness, obviously in the pool of water, but she saw Xiao Lian crying. Her heart suddenly seemed to be slashed by thousands of sharp blades, and the cold pool of water was like ice blades, piercing out of her flesh and slowly piercing into her heart, making her feel the pain clearly.

She suddenly couldn't care about the pain, and desperately kicked Xiao Zhaoye upstream. At no point in her life did she want to survive so much.

When she was killed by her mother-in-law in the past, she thought that if she starved to death one day, she would forget about it.

When she was burned to death by Xu Wanyu in the past, she felt that this was the case for the rest of her life, and she didn't want to be born in a rich family in the next life, she just wanted to be free.

She learned that Xiao Zhaoye did not break into the fire for her in her previous life, but after committing suicide after failure, she also hoped that one day she could sleep in the deep palace and never wake up again.

She drank with Xu Peirong, and when she ate Heding Red, it was not a pity that she thought she was dead.

When the crane top red attacked, when she felt the child in her belly gradually leave her, she also wished that she could go with him.

But when she saw Xiao Lian swimming towards her in the deep pool, she suddenly didn't want to die. She wanted to live. She had never lived for herself in her life. She still has hopes in this world, and there are people who look forward to her.

She struggled desperately, her limbs and flesh cut beyond recognition by the sharp blades of the pool, her heart torn apart in the struggle, and the bitter pool of water gushing out of her throat.

With a "poof", she choked out, bitterness and blood gushing out of her throat. She gasped for air, and a large amount of air rushed into her lungs.

She lived.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the wooden beams in the dimly lit room had rotted black, and old cobwebs hung like tattered wool on the dusty wooden beams. She struggled to lift her arms and found herself covered with straw underneath her.

"Mother, are you awake?"

An old, hoarse voice came.

He Jingying turned her head with difficulty, and saw Dendrobium standing beside her, holding a broken pottery bowl with a missing hole in her hand, and there was still a little black liquid left in the bowl.

"Imperial Doctor Shi?"

Dendrobium noodles are like vegetables, and it seems that they have been sleepless for several days. Dendrobium lowered her voice and said, "Niangniang can't call me that, if people hear it, we won't be able to hide." Just call me by my name. ”

"Where is this?"

"This is the cold palace."

He Jingying looked at Dendrobium in puzzlement: "How could I be in the cold palace?" ”

"There was chaos in the palace that day, I ...... I also ran out with those palace people. Later, I suddenly remembered that you are still in the palace, and the baby in your womb is what I have been watching after all. I didn't feel at ease, so I ran back again...... As a result, I arrived at the Zhaoyang Palace...... Hey, I'm still late. ”

He Jingying didn't expect that it was Dendrobium who saved her, but she didn't expect that she would still be alive: "Thank you." ”

"You have slept for seven days, and the hot water in this cold palace has to be chopped and burned by yourself. It's unstable outside, I haven't dared to leave for the past few days, and there is still some water in this bowl, so you will drink it. And this little porridge was sent from the cold palace, and there was just such a bucket of gruel every day, so it would be done. ”

He Jingying asked in a hoarse voice, "Is no one finding out if we hide here?" ”

"When I ran out of the Zhaoyang Hall with you on my back, they had already hit the bottom of the bell tower, and several doors were theirs. I also had nowhere to run, so I had to run where no one was. There was chaos everywhere, and the guards in front of the gate on this side of the cold palace all ran away. Half of the people in the cold palace were crazy and stupid, and they didn't know what was going on. So I went in and searched for this courtyard and put you down, and no one came to look for it. ”

That's what the so-called dark light is.

He Jingying looked at the broken medicine bowl in Dendrobium's hand: "How can we have medicine?" ”

"It's not a medicine, it's dragon's blood grass. There are many dead people in the cold palace, and this kind of grass is everywhere. Because it is a little toxic, it is rarely used in Langzhong. However, the hemostatic effect of this medicine is good. ”

He Jingying tried to stand up, but just after she got up, she fell down.

Dendrobium hurriedly held her up: "You just had a miscarriage, and you haven't eaten for three days, don't be in a hurry to get up." ”

"Dendrobium, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will clean up all parts of the palace, and sooner or later he will clean up to the cold palace. We're going to get out there. ”

"Rest assured, this courtyard was originally inhabited by a woman, and she was dead when we came in. I buried her. As long as you pretend to be crazy when they come, maybe it's over. You can't leave the palace at all in your current physical condition. Dendrobium thought for a while and said, "That woman died of starvation, it's not ugly." She gave you this dress before she wore it. I've washed it too. ”

Where would He Jingying dislike a dead man's clothes at this time? "Dendrobium, you can leave quickly. Don't be burdened with me. ”

Dendrobium sighed: "Now even if I want to go, I can't go." The next day, people came to watch at the gate of the cold palace. Presumably, the world outside has been decided. ”

"Can there be ......" He Jingying wanted to ask if there was news of General Long Xiang, but before the words were spoken, it became: "Is there any news of the Queen Mother?" ”

Dendrobium shook his head: "I can't hear any news in the cold palace." But before I escaped in, I heard Commander Xiao say, 'It is taken from someone, and there is no need to move it', presumably they may not be embarrassed by the Queen Mother. ”

"Xiao Chen?" He Jingying lost consciousness after killing Xu Peirong in Zhaoyang Hall that day, and she didn't know anything about the palace at all. It turned out that Xiao Chen was reversed, no wonder Xiao Luan could go so smoothly.

Xiao Luan is very capable, and the commander of Yulin can also rebel. However, it is also Xiao Zhaoye's own mediocrity and incompetence, otherwise how could Xiao Luan be so easy to succeed.

There was a clanging sound outside the door. Dendrobium hurriedly put the medicine bowl in his hand under the bed, and wiped two more hand ashes on the ground, wiped a little on He Jingying's face, and wiped a little on his own face.

"Niangniang, you wait, maybe the food delivery is here."

Dendrobium picked up a dirty bowl, and didn't rush to clean it with water, wiped it twice in the bowl with his sleeve and hurried out.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a man say, "Yo! There is meat today! ”

When Dendrobium heard this, he quickly quickened his pace again. When I walked to the door, I saw two buckets placed at the door, one of which was an ordinary white porridge like water. A bucket of vegetables with oily seeds, I can't tell what kind of dish it is, it seems that several dishes are mixed together, but there is meat and vegetables in it, which is already a rare delicacy for the cold palace.

There were seven or eight people living in the cold palace, all of them were concubines sent to the cold palace by the previous dynasty, and loyal old servants who followed the concubines in.

Dendrobium was dragged by a person who came from behind and slammed to the ground.

The guard next to him saw Dendrobium's embarrassed appearance, and laughed: "This old minion, the dogs are better looking than him!" ”

Dendrobium fell into a mouthful of mud, and he didn't care about the guard's insults. He got up from the dirt floor and looked at the bowl in his hand. Luckily, the bowl wasn't broken. He didn't care about the pain, limped up again, and shouted with all his might, "Leave me some!" Leave a little! ”

The people in front of them are like iron walls, and they can't squeeze in no matter how hard they squeeze in. By the time I finally squeezed in front of the bucket, there was no more broth in the bucket. Dendrobium's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that there was still a piece of meat on the wall of the barrel, he quickly stretched out his hand. Halfway through his hand, he was stunned again, withdrew his hand and wiped it on his clothes, and then picked up the piece of meat and held it in his palm.

"Yo! This old minion is quite exquisite! ”

Dendrobium smiled wryly and limped to another bucket, and the porridge in that bucket was almost snatched. Dendrobium tilted the bucket and spooned out half a bowl of rice soup to put into the bowl.

The guard looked at him embarrassed and cowardly and smiled: "This old slave has done things to return Sven. ”

Dendrobium nodded and asked, "My lord, why is it so good today, there is meat?" ”

"Today, on the emperor's happy day, you have to eat! Tomorrow there will be no more! With that, the guard impatiently picked up the two barrels and walked back.

Dendrobium turned around with a limp and saw He Jingying holding on to the mud wall, standing in front of the door of the house where they lived, and she had already covered her mouth and cried.

Dendrobium hurriedly walked over and pulled He Jingying back into the house: "Niangniang, what are you doing here?" Don't cry. As soon as you cry, the ashes on your face will fall, there are some half-old immortals in this cold palace, you are too conspicuous. ”

He Jingying looked at Dendrobium's face was bruised, and her throat was choked and she couldn't speak.

Dendrobium was thin and small, and in order to pretend to be a eunuch, he shaved off his gray beard and looked thinner and thinner.

Dendrobium hurriedly put the bowl on the table and stretched out his hand holding a piece of meat: "Niangniang, look, I still grabbed a piece of meat." ”

He Jingying's tears fell big and big, even when she was about to die, she didn't feel so sad.

He Jingying shook her head reddened with the tip of her nose: "I don't want to eat, you can eat." ”

Dendrobium said: "That's not good, the woman after the miscarriage should be well raised." Although it's just such a piece of meat now, don't dislike it, you still have to eat it. In times of famine, everything that can be eaten is eaten, and there is much more than this ugly thing. ”

Dendrobium couldn't help but stuff the piece of meat into He Jingying's hand: "Eat it, you have to get better quickly." ”

He Jingying nodded, put the piece of meat in her mouth and chewed it, tears flowed uncontrollably, and her lips kept trembling, making her teeth sore. "Dendrobium, why did you run back then? If you run away, where will you suffer these sins? ”

Dendrobium smiled: "Didn't you help me when I was in trouble?" ”

He Jingying was stunned for a long time before remembering what Dendrobium said was that he was surrounded by a group of hooligans in front of the Six Diseases Pavilion and slandered him for treating people to death. But He Jingying just helped him that time, how can it be compared to this time?

Dendrobium smiled innocently: "I won't tell you, I once had a daughter who was abandoned by her husband's family and came back to me." At that time, I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I was angry with my daughter and didn't let her in. After my daughter had been gone for a few days, there was a locust plague and famine everywhere. I went to look for my daughter, and when I found her, she ......."

Dendrobium sighed, the old things of many years ago are gone, and now there is not a single tear when it comes to it. Tears dried up many years ago. "She was dead, she was starving, not long after she died, and there were people who wanted to cut her flesh to eat. It was then that I found out that she was pregnant, and if she hadn't been desperate, how would she have come back to me? ”

"At that time, I was thinking about what kind of etiquette and shame, and I was afraid that her husband's family would come to my door...... I'm not a thing! Dendrobium looked up at He Jingying: "Later, when I came to the palace to take care of you, I always thought that if I had taken care of my daughter like that at that time, my daughter would not have died, maybe I would have hugged my grandson." ”

Dendrobium smiled: "After a long time, I feel good to take care of you." ”

He Jingying's nose was red: "My name is A-Ying, don't call me Niangniang, call me A-Ying." If only we could get out of here, I'll take care of you when you're old. ”
