Chapter Eighty-Three: There Is Still Hope
"Have you had enough crying?"
Nalan Lan'er's cry did not make the old eunuch speed up his pace, and when he finally moved to Nalan Lan'er, his cloudy eyes were full of disdain and stared at the gorgeous woman with tears on her face, and her tone was three points colder than the wind of this season.
"Father-in-law! Father-in-law! I was originally the imperial concubine, but the emperor misunderstood me and sent me to the cold palace, and I bothered you to intercede with me! Oh, by the way, my father-in-law is the Minister of Military Aircraft, and you have taken this bracelet in my hand, please help you and me! ”
If you say the word "life-saving straw", you have only heard it before, but today Nalan Lan'er completely understands the meaning of this word.
When she turned around and saw the old eunuch with a hideous expression, infinite hope suddenly welled up in her heart, as if he was the only savior who could take her out of this lonely place.
At the moment, she didn't care about the stench on his body and the ugliness on his face, Nalan Lan'er hurriedly grabbed him, like scraping bones, and finally removed the jade bracelet from her arm, which was a gift given to her by the Minister of Military Aircraft when she first saw her.
Although this is the expression of the father's dearness, but now that she is hiding in the deep palace, she can only transform the form of this love.
"Humph!"
The old eunuch glanced at her, there was no surprise in his eyes at all, and he just said coldly, "You ask, which one of these palaces didn't come in unjustly?" ”
"Which one is not the descendant of a prince or nobleman? You're just a little village girl! Now that something has happened, the Minister of War and Aircraft's own position is difficult to protect, how can he still have time to take care of you? ”
"Also, you said that the emperor misunderstood you? But what do you mean that you are not satisfied with the emperor's decision? ”
The old eunuch was skinny and weak, and he spoke like a gnat, but the momentum shocked Nalan Lan'er, who was paralyzed on the ground, especially what he said, which made her suddenly brightened.
Yes, since the queen mother dares to touch her, doesn't it mean that her father may also be in danger?
Also, if I say that the emperor is wrong here, will I commit the crime of sludge?
In a panic, Nalan Lan'er hurriedly got up and stuffed the bracelet into the old eunuch's hand, the tears on his face were also blown into ice edges by the biting winter wind, and his mouth restrained the grievances just now, leaving only a few traces of apprehension:
"Father-in-law, what you taught you is that Lan'er is too reckless. It's just that Lan'er really doesn't know much about the things in this palace because she came late, so I hope you can take care of more things in the future. ”
My husband was used to seeing this kind of lord of the palace who would make trouble when he came, but he didn't expect that the thin woman named Nalan Lan'er in front of him would understand her words so thoroughly, so he immediately sighed and unceremoniously took the bracelet.
"It's a pity that such a delicate person!"
The old eunuch turned his head, staggering in front of him, but a sigh came out of his mouth.
Nalan Lan'er's tears were a little more.
The old husband took her into the cold palace, which should have been a majestic palace, but it was in disrepair, coupled with the lack of people, and I heard that many people who came in chose to end their lives by themselves, so they always felt cloudy.
Nalan Lan'er looked around, but saw that this cold palace was also deep and tight, but the old man only stopped in a small room, and shouted in a voice as if he was being hoisted:
"Right here, let's go in."
After speaking, he trembled and disappeared into this vast cold palace.
Nalan Lan'er just wanted to ask where the key was?
found that the door of this room was not locked.
The room is about the size of three houses, and it should be a companion room in the main hall, Nalan Lan'er only felt cold, and he didn't care about it, so he thought about it first.
But the moment he pushed the room open, he heard a voice from Ulala, and a ghostly black shadow burst out of the room.
"Ahh
Nalan Lan'er was so frightened that she trembled and turned around to run, but her legs were weak and she fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Then I saw the black swarms of bats gliding over her head, and some cockroaches and mice and other animals also rushed out of it, Nalan Lan'er covered her chest, and shrank back desperately, and the tears on her face fell down.
"Boom!"
In the corner of the cold palace, there seemed to be another person's chuckle.
A sense of fear that she had never felt before suddenly invaded the bottom of her heart, if on the way here, she still thought that maybe the emperor just wanted to make an appearance to give an explanation to the prime minister's family, then at this time, she really experienced the desolation of the cold palace, and she thoroughly understood, that sentence, "If you enter the cold palace, it is better to die".
Immediately she rushed into the house, not caring about the dust blowing in her face, she hurriedly looked around the room, looking for a tool that would allow her to end her life.
But in a huge house, through the sparse light at the door, she couldn't even see a table and stool, only in the corner, there was a board bed, and she could vaguely see a black quilt on it, and nothing else.
Looking up at the roof, she found that the height of the beams was not at all within her reach.
And even with the beams of the house, she has no long things, and even hanging herself has become a luxury.
Almost desperate, she fell to the ground, the tears in her eyes seemed to have dried up, she looked at the house in confusion, and the sadness in her heart flowed backwards.
I don't know how long it took, Nalan Lan'er in the fog was helped up by the two, and Nalan Lan'er, who was covered in dust, saw a familiar person, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"Wan'er, little dingzi, Wan'er, little dingzi."
She shuddered the names of these two men, but she couldn't say a word.
"!"
Wan'er hugged Nalan Lan'er's trembling body tightly, and Xiao Dingzi had already taken off his only coat and draped it on Nalan Lan'er's body, both of them were also in tears, looking at the glorious master in the past, now so desolate, they didn't feel good in their hearts.
"If you want me to say that the emperor is too ruthless!"
Xiao Dingzi was the first to speak, when the queen mother suddenly led a group of people to Huayan Palace and drove all the palace people out.
He and Wan'er both thought that as long as the emperor was there, Niangniang would have no problem, but they didn't expect that after a while, Mama let them choose whether to leave or continue to stay here.
Although he and Wan'er also have families, they are more worried about Nalan Lan'er's safety, so they ask to stay.
So it was pulled here.
Looking at Nalan Lan'er's appearance, Xiao Dingzi cried and complained about the emperor.
"Don't talk nonsense! Beware of the walls with ears! ”
Wan'er was careful and reminded Xiao Dingzi.
"Mother, let's get up first."
The calm Wan'er wiped away her tears, helped Nalan Lan'er up, and asked Xiao Dingzi to look around, opening the closed windows, so that with the sun shining in, there was a cold wind.
"Ahh
Nalan Lan'er sneezed violently, and Xiao Dingzi hurriedly closed the window, knowing that the window was made of solid wood, if it was closed, the light in the room would not be very good.
"Niangniang, you sit there first, and Xiao Dingzi and I will clean the room first."
Wan'er helped Nalan Lan'er, who was still a little sluggish, to sit down in the corner of the cold palace, where there was a broken chair, but the armrests were gone.
Then she and Xiao Dingzi cleaned the room briefly, fortunately there were a few pieces of cloth on the ground that could not be seen in tatters, so that the two of them could use it to simply push the dust on the ground together, and the dust of a low table and wooden bed that was ignored by Nalan Lan'er was also dusted, the weather was already dusk, and the dust was jumping in the sunlight by the window, Nalan Lan'er looked at the dust that drifted out with the air, and couldn't suppress the tears in her eyes.
"! Don't cry all the time, there's not necessarily water to drink here. ”
Listening to Wan'er's words, Nalan Lan'er looked at her thoughtfully, this palace maid's calmness was really beyond her imagination, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what she said was unreasonable, although her crying was useless, but was there anything else useful?
When the dust calmed down, the teary-eyed Nalan Lan'er began to think back to what had happened to her day.
What E-Niang said is still vivid, she didn't understand it at first, but now it suddenly became clear.
Men, maybe really unreliable.
It's just, the queen's child, what's going on?
If it was Yun Shan's own hand, then she wouldn't believe it, but if it wasn't so, who would blame her?
But whoever it is, it doesn't matter anymore.
She Nalan Lan'er is destined to be in this shrunken cold palace, but for life.
Wave after wave of cold wind, wrapped in dust and debris, crashed against the door, and approached the dilapidated room, Nalan Lan'er looked out of the house, her eyes were lifeless.
"Little Dingzi, the clothes are for you."
Seeing that Xiao Dingzi was shivering from the cold, Nalan Lan'er took off his clothes and handed them out, and said in his mouth:
"If I die here, if you can go out, you must remember to send a message to my stepfather and my family."
As he said this, tears flowed down his cheeks again.
Wan'er and Xiao Dingzi on the side looked distressed, "Niangniang, you can't say such things!" Even if you don't live for yourself, you have to think about the Minister of Military Aircraft! Do you know why the two of us were able to come in? ”
Wan'er had an idea, knelt beside Nalan Lan'er, and said suddenly.
"Why?"
Nalan Lan'er asked confusedly.
"You must know that this lady who has entered the cold palace is not equipped with maids. But Xiao Dingzi and I can be sent in, and it must be the Minister of Military Aircraft who will be the first to do it. ”
Wan'er said clearly, Nalan Lan'er didn't think she believed it.
"Didn't you say that if I entered here, my father would also be implicated?"
Nalan Lan'er looked at Wan'er with wide beautiful eyes, helpless like a child, at this moment, she was smart and had no normal thinking, and her whole person was messed up.
"How could it be! The Minister of Military Aircraft is an important minister next to the Queen Mother, not to mention that the Queen Mother has not confirmed your charges, if it is confirmed, the mutilation of the dragon heir will be connected to the nine clans. ”
Wan'er's eyes jumped, observing Nalan Lan'er's state at all times, trying to convince her, and as she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Dingzi again.
"That's right, it's such a mother, so don't worry, the Minister of Military Aircraft will definitely find a way to save you out, and in addition, General Yang will not sit idly by!"
Xiao Dingzi hurriedly picked up Wan'er's words, and the two worked together to persuade Nalan Lan'er.
She finally stopped crying, and her eyes began to fade brightly, but she was thinking that it was okay if these people could save her, she owed them anything.
It's just that person, the person who had to pull him into the palace, the person who had promised her the world, how could she be so merciful?
Wan'er saw that Nalan Lan'er was deep in thought again, so she pouted outside and handed Xiao Dingzi something, and Xiao Dingzi then ran out.
Although the two of them are young, they have been in the palace for a long time, and they still have some cognition of the cold palace.
