In the afternoon, it was the real Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, it could be described as grand, and the dishes on it were particularly precious shrimp and crabs and the like, Shen Xi had not eaten crabs for a long time, she originally wanted to eat it, but was beaten by Lu Qingyi with chopsticks, "This thing is too cold, don't eat it now." ”

Then Shen Xi watched Lu Qingyi give the crab to Chang Qing at the table next to him, Chang Qing ate it with relish, while Shen Xi could only laugh.

Lu Qingyi sandwiched a piece of chicken to Shen Xi, "Eat it, this is also delicious." ”

Shen Xi was originally very angry, but seeing that Lu Qingyi's face was still a little pale, she smiled and endured it, she was eating chicken on her mouth, but she had actually been glancing at the evergreen crab with her eyes.

Halfway through the meal, Chang Qing mysteriously pulled Shen Xi away. After Chang Qing pulled Shen Xi into her courtyard, she took out the crab she had hidden in her sleeve, "How about it, I'm funny, right?" ”

Shen Xi looked at the crab and his eyes were straight, "How did you bring it out?" ”

"I hid one by the way when I ate it, I saw that you wanted to eat it very much, so I hid it for you, but you are not in good health, so I will eat one to relieve your cravings, and when you are well, I will invite you to eat." Chang Qing also spoke very quietly, as if he was afraid of being heard.

When Shen Xi saw the crab, he hugged Chang Qing with tears in his eyes, a handful of snot and tears, "You are still the best for me." ”

Then she ate the crab with tears in her eyes, and finally she sucked the fat from her fingers before she was satisfied.

After eating the crabs, it was obvious that Shen Xi and Chang Qing didn't want to go back to the banquet where they were staggered and had their own thoughts, but it was not good to eat too much and not exercise.

Winter nights always get dark very quickly, and when Shen Xi and Chang Qing stepped out of the room again, it was an endless night, accompanied by a biting wind.

Shen Xi covered her cotton clothes, but fortunately, when Lu Qingyi went out this morning, he added extra clothes to her, so that she would not tremble in the cold night.

Shen Xi and Chang Qing were having fun all the way, and sometimes they would shake some snowflakes from the trees and hold them in their hands, only at this moment, Shen Xi really looked like a carefree child.

"I haven't played like this in a long time." Shen Xi's eyebrows and eyes were full of crooked smiles, and her mouth was still bubbling with layers of heat.

The trees on the side of the palace were also full of lanterns, swaying gently in the wind, Shen Xi and Chang Qing didn't know where they had gone, but when she wanted to go further, she saw a person, along the treetops, into the courtyard wall.

Shen Xi hurriedly grabbed Chang Qing and made a gesture to signal her to be quiet.

No matter how remote it is, it is in the palace, and now that someone has broken into the palace at night and entered this dilapidated courtyard, there must be something unsightly.

"What's wrong?" Chang Qing looked at Shen Xi's panicked appearance, and she also became cautious, she looked at Shen Xi with rapid breathing, wanting an answer.

"I saw a man climb into this courtyard." Shen Xi's voice was low, and he didn't hide it from Chang Qing.

"What kind of courtyard, this is the cold palace, all year round, except for the food delivery, there will not even be a ghost, how can there be people." Chang Qing didn't seem to believe Shen Xi's words, and when she said this, she felt a chill in her back.

Chang Qing looked frightened, and couldn't help but get closer to Shen Xi, "It can't be a ghost, right?" This kind of place is the most attractive for those things that are not clean. ”

Shen Xi is a woman from the new era, naturally she doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, she pulled Chang Qing behind her, and then looked at the palace wall, it was really a bit high, and she was not good at learning, she could only punch and kick, so it was impossible to jump up. Xiaotao Chinese

"Let's go in and have a look!" Shen Xi took Chang Qing's hand as he spoke, and cautiously walked to the door of the cold palace, although the door was already in tatters, it was still closed tightly, and it was almost impossible to enter without a key.

Shen Xi rummaged melancholy outside the door, thinking about how to get in.

Chang Qing shook Shen Xi's hand, "Are you sure you want to go in?" Chang Qing's voice was very soft, and she looked terrified, this kind of place, almost every year, people die, and they die very badly, so she especially doesn't like this place.

Shen Xi nodded resolutely, "You have to go!" ”

Concubine Chen was imprisoned in the cold palace some time ago because of Chang Gan, since she came, there was no reason not to take a look, and if she didn't go, she wouldn't feel at ease.

"Then you come with me, I know a place to go in." Chang Qing said and pulled Shen Xi to continue walking, she was getting more and more remote, and even the weeds inside were taller, and she had to step on the withered yellow weeds.

Even though Shen Xi was bold, at this time, she also felt a little cold in her back, especially the sound of whirring wind in her ears.

It took a long circle to reach the destination.

This is a very small arch, just use a few wooden planks to block it casually, only one person can pass at a time, and when he arrived at the door, Chang Qing took a deep breath and decided to go in first to explore the way for Shen Xi.

After Changqing went in, Shen Xi stepped on the wooden plank and went in, and there were some weeds when they entered, and they walked for a long time before they walked to the relatively empty place in the courtyard.

The yard was full of leaves and no one cleaned it, and even the snow was not cleaned up, Shen Xi touched his arm, only to feel that it was eerie and terrifying.

Shen Xi and Chang Qing held hands, wanting to go deeper, but after walking a few steps, they saw that the originally dark room in front of them suddenly lit up with candlelight, and under the reflection of the candlelight, Shen Xi saw two figures.

They sat and didn't know what they were talking about.

Shen Xi frowned slightly, "Is this cold palace usually only for one person?" ”

"Most of the time, because of the people who are locked up, they basically don't live for a year." When Chang Qing said this, he felt that the wind was gusting again, and in the palace, the place with the most dead people was the cold palace.

It's dark and damp, and no one cares about it.

Chang Qing's remark made Shen Xi even more puzzled, wasn't Concubine Chen crazy when she was imprisoned? Why does it look no different from a normal person now? And who is the person she is talking to?

Shen Xi was suspicious in her heart, she took Chang Qing's hand, and the two of them bent over, walked outside the room, and quietly listened to what the people inside were saying.

Concubine Chen's face was a little haggard, although she was haggard, the ruthlessness in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest, she looked at the man in front of her with fierce eyes, "In the West Courtyard, there is a woman locked up, you go and kill her, and get rid of the troubles forever." Otherwise, once it is found out, I don't want to say that I will get out of the cold palace, and I won't even be able to save my life. ”

Concubine Chen's eyes were especially terrifying in the dim candlelight! She is now in the cold palace, the emperor is nothing more than to give the queen an explanation, and when Chang Qian comes back in the future, she will find another opportunity, and she will always come out of this cold palace.

But if the woman in the courtyard of Nasi is not removed, she will not be able to live in peace for a day, and it will be a nightmare for her and the queen in the end.
