Chapter 3: The first evil intentions are revealed in the palace of unloading feathers
In the Unloading Palace, there is a depression, and the only river leading to the outer palace has dried up to the bottom because no one takes care of it, and the bottom of the river is covered with broken copper and iron, branches and leaves, and humanoid white bones. made the already dilapidated Unloading Feather Palace even more overshadowed by a veil of horror.
A few crazy women were playing in the small courtyard, where the trees and grass had dried up. The palace is located in the middle of nowhere, without a ray of sunlight, and although it is in the middle of summer, it can make people shudder, compared to the flowery and sunny scenery outside the palace, it is simply a world of difference.
Sima Guansheng sat on the ground next to the palace gate with his knees crossed, his clothes were ragged, his hair was unkempt, his eyes were dull, and his face, which had made the harem pink in the past, was full of fear, helplessness and tears.
As soon as Sima Daiyuan arrived at the gate of the Unloading Feather Palace, a crow flew overhead, and the crow's cry made her heart feel cold, and she felt a chill coming with the wind.
The guards guarding the palace all bowed down and saluted when they saw the queen coming.
Jade stepped forward and said sharply: "Open the door, Niangniang wants to go in." ”
The guards frowned, looked at each other and said, "Girl, this is a cold palace, the people inside are not crazy or stupid, if we hurt the queen's phoenix body, we can't afford it." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, open the door, do you even want to disobey the queen's decree?" Jade speaks sonorously and powerfully, and has the demeanor of a leader.
She is Sima Daiyuan's close palace maid, and her words and deeds reflect Sima Daiyuan's prestige, and she has to pretend to be arrogant.
The guard stopped saying a word, took out the key from his waist and went to open the palace door.
Jade waved to the bearers of Luang, signaling them to fall into Luang. She walked over, helped Sima Daiyuan to step over the lifting bar, and walked towards the palace gate with broken steps.
The moment the palace gate was opened, the madwomen in the courtyard flocked to the door. The guards shouted at them to back off, and quickly pulled out their long whips from their waists and lashed them out. The madwomen screamed and retreated into the courtyard, looking for shelter and hiding.
The eunuch guards formed a semicircle, blocking the madwomen behind them to make room for Sima Daiyuan.
Only then did Jade help Sima Daiyuan into the Unloading Feather Palace, there was a musty smell in the courtyard, a breeze blew, and the dust on the ground was rolled up, and she was a little choked. Sima Daiyuan reflexively covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and coughed lightly.
Sima Guansheng was not moved by the opening of the palace door before, and still curled up there with his knees crossed. It wasn't until she heard Sima Daiyuan's voice that she screamed and rushed towards Sima Daiyuan like those crazy women just now.
"Big sister, big sister, it's me! I'm Guan Sheng, are you here to pick me up? Sima Guansheng was blocked by the eunuchs, and she shouted desperately, and her voice was a little hoarse after many days of struggle and shouting. There was a smile of hope on her dirty face. In her opinion, Sima Daiyuan came to save her from the demon cave.
Staying in this summer feather palace, which is also cool, with these crazy women as companions every day, living in a daz, she feels that she has been driven crazy.
An accompanying eunuch knelt on the ground, supporting his body with his arms and legs, his back straight, and his body as a stool. Jade took out a brocade and spread it on the eunuch's back, and helped Sima Daiyuan to sit down.
"Let her come!" Sima Daiyuan sat down and said softly.
The eunuch who blocked Sima Guansheng dodged away and let her into the circle.
She was like a wild horse on the loose, stumbling in front of Sima Daiyuan, grabbing Sima Daiyuan's long skirt with her dirty hands, and tears of excitement came to her eyes.
Sima Daiyuan kicked her away and almost rolled off the eunuch's back, but fortunately, Jade reacted quickly and stepped forward to hold her steady.
Sima Daiyuan said angrily in disgust: "Crazy, take away your dirty hands, don't stain the long skirt of the palace." ”
Lunatic?
Sima Guansheng sat on the ground, supporting his body with his hands, and the pair of eyes hidden behind the scattered hair were full of doubts. Is this plump and beautiful woman in front of her really her big sister? How could she call herself crazy?
Before she came back to her senses, Jade finally learned to distinguish her appearance and color, and gave orders for Sima Daiyuan: "Don't drag her yet, be careful of hurting the queen." ”
The two eunuchs stepped forward and dragged Sima Guansheng back, she struggled desperately, shouting: "Let go, you let go of me, I am pregnant with His Majesty's child, which of you dares to touch me?" ”。
She was stupid and wanted to use the child in her womb to save her life, but she didn't know that this child was her life-amulet.
When the two eunuchs heard this, the strength of their hands eased a lot. He looked at Sima Daiyuan with puzzled eyes, wanting to get further instructions from her mouth.
Child, she still dares to have a child in front of Sima Dai, she has been married to Liu He for several years, and she has not come out, which is simply pouring salt on her wounds.
She was so angry that she stood up and said angrily: "When death is approaching, she is still so hard-mouthed, and an abandoned woman dares to be so arrogant." What are you doing in a daze? Don't let her kneel down for Hongu. ”
A eunuch kicked Sima Guansheng's knee hard, and she fell to her knees with a thud.
She couldn't believe that these words came from Sima Daiyuan's mouth, and her face was full of surprise and doubt. She raised her head and looked up at Sima Daiyuan in front of her.
"Eldest sister, I'm Guan Sheng! What's wrong with you? Aren't you here to save me from hell? With tears in her eyes, she innocently questioned Sima Daiyuan.
Sima Daiyuan ignored it, turned around and sat back on the human stool, and said sharply: "Jade, give this palace a palm, and slap it until she doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud slap resounded throughout the Unloading Palace.
When those crazy women saw this, they were even more frightened, this scene was very familiar to them, they had inflicted it on others, or felt it personally, even if they were crazy, this scene could still have a deterrent effect on them.
Sima Guansheng endured this flying disaster, and said intermittently: "Why? Why? For - what? ”
After a few moments, her cheeks were red and swollen, the corners of her mouth were oozing blood, and her voice was getting weaker and weaker, and her mouth must have been so painful that she couldn't open it. Even so, her eyes were still full of hope, and she muttered secretly in her heart: There must be some misunderstanding in this, and my big sister will never treat me like this.
Seeing that she couldn't make a sound, Sima Daiyuan stood up, walked up to her, and said to Jade, who was still there and slapped hard: "Jade, okay, stop!" ”
Hearing this, Jade hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.
Sima Guansheng raised her unrecognizable face, tears flashed in her eyes, she tried her best to squeeze out a few words from between her lips, "Big sister, why?" ”
She was still unwilling, until this moment, she still didn't want to believe that the eldest sister who grew up with her and served a husband with her would inexplicably treat herself like this, and she tried to convince herself that the eldest sister must have a hard time.
