After the abolition (2)
Chapter 184: The Abolition (2)
The three zai gathered in the Liangyi Pavilion and waited for the emperor to issue the edict of the abolition.
Chu Xichen sat quietly and said, "Queen Shen...... She is the daughter of a criminal minister, her family style is not right, she is not suitable for birth and raising, and she will be called the queen, and she will be a concubine and live in Hanquan Palace. ”
Lord Zhou's hanging heart finally let go, Lord Wu was noncommittal, but Liu Zhao was shocked, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty ......"
Chu Xichen looked at him with sharp eyes and asked, "What?" ”
Liu Zhao was stunned for a moment and lowered his head: "It's okay." ”
I still can't bear her! He was not executed, but he was deposed, but he was not deposed as a concubine, but as a concubine. There is no concubine in the palace, only a concubine, who is still a princess. Although Shen Wan fell off the backseat because of poisoning the emperor, she was still the highest-ranking woman in the harem! Liu Zhao smiled bitterly, at this time, she was demoted to Concubine Wan, maybe she would come back again in the future, in short, this woman ...... Even the emperor who was almost poisoned didn't mind, what did he have to say. What a woman! As long as the emperor is in one day, she will never fall.
Shen Wan wore the queen's court dress for the last time and waited quietly in the main hall of the Chen Palace. Gonggong Shi personally came with the holy decree in his hand, and the moment the scroll was opened, Shen Wan suddenly began to think wildly: What could it be? Maybe it's a direct death, or maybe it's a debasement. However, she had a hunch that Chengong would not be her end.
Sure enough, Shen Wan got a new titled residence, and she sneered slightly in her heart: In this way, is the Cold Spring Palace, which is located in the northernmost part, her cold palace?
At the moment when he took the will, Gonggong Shi was embarrassed and said: "Niangniang, don't blame the emperor, he ...... It's a last resort......"
Shen Wan smiled indifferently, it's all at this time, what's not to blame?
The only people brought to Hanquan Palace were Chun'er and Xiangming, and Cui Shanggong made the female official of the Middle Palace, even if the back position was empty, she had no reason to continue to serve, but it was not easy to resign.
The Cold Spring Palace is really the same as the Cold Palace, it is deserted here, except for the palace maids and eunuchs who sweep the court, it is difficult to see a few people. On the back of the Cold Spring Palace, there is the north gate where Shen Lan once served, and the Northern Army stationed there is not as strong as Yu Linwei, but Shen Wan knows that there are such masters in it, and none of them are under Yu Linwei.
Sure enough, this place has become a new cold palace, and since Shen Wan moved here, no one has come to visit her.
When she was bored, she was not afraid of the cold, and together with Chun'er, she used a broom to sweep away the snow on the jade steps to expose a little fresh air to the soil.
She was sweeping the snow, and suddenly looked up and saw two familiar faces - it was Cui Shanggong and Xia Wenze.
Cui Shanggong did not wear Shang Gong clothes, but wore ordinary palace maid clothes. And Xia Wenze was just wearing ordinary military clothes.
"You ......"
Xia Wenze smiled and said, "Of course I have to protect my mother." ”
Cui Shanggong said lightly: "I didn't take good care of my mother, and I was ashamed of my mother's parents." ”
Shen Wan's heart flowed with emotion, and she said softly: "Then, come with me." ”
So, for a long time, no one came to visit her, except for three meals a day, she sat aimlessly. Here, it has completely become a cold palace.
Even the New Year's bells, she couldn't hear them here, and she didn't feel a trace of New Year's joy.
She was truly forgotten by the entire court......
After the New Year, it was the Lantern Festival, and there was still no one to visit, and she didn't hear a trace of news about Chu Xichen again.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the palace held a banquet as usual, Chu Xichen sat alone on the high dragon chair, and suddenly remembered that he was also a person last year, and he remembered that Shen Wan was made the queen for a year. But so much has happened in such a short year.
After the banquet was dispersed, Xi Chao stopped on the way back to the palace, Nika had just separated from the princess of Lao Shi, and when she saw Xi Chao looking at the north, she was a little angry, walked to him and said: "Don't look at it, I heard that she is just a concubine now, but in fact, she has been beaten into the cold palace." ”
Xi Chao didn't seem to hear her speak, still looking at the infinite loneliness in the north and said, "She must be very lonely." ”
Nika said coldly: "Is she lonely, what does it have to do with you?" It was her husband who gave up on her, don't forget, you are the one who has a wife, and that person is me! ”
Xi Chao slowly glanced back at her, and there was nothing but indifference in that look.
Nika was angry, but she turned around and walked towards her carriage, and Nika was relieved, thinking that although he couldn't let go of it, at least he wouldn't be so confused.
Xi Chao stood under the carriage and helped Nika into the car first, and Nika waited for him to get into the car as well, but Xi Chao lowered the curtain and let the driver go first.
Nika lifted the curtain in the carriage and yelled at Xi Chao, "You idiot! Don't do stupid things! Do you want to die with her? ”
I regretted that I wouldn't go away, heading towards the north, towards the Cold Spring Palace.
Nika sat down in her seat in a daze, her heart was extremely desolate, she finally understood that even if she got all of a person, what was the point of not getting his heart and his love?
Although she is nominally Xichao's wife, he ...... As a husband, he has never touched himself!
No matter what she did, whether it was gentle persuasion or losing her temper and throwing things, in his eyes, it was all not worth mentioning!
He clearly told himself that his heart had been filled by Shen Wan and would not tolerate a second woman. But like a fool, he tried in vain to squeeze into his heart, drive Shen Wan out, and replace him himself. Now that I think about it, how ridiculous and pathetic such an act is!
He went to Shen Wan like this, leaving himself behind, and didn't care about anything!
Obviously, she could go and report it to the emperor, but she couldn't do it, because she knew that once she did that, she would die if she did it!
Although Xi Chao's eyes have never had himself in his heart, just like Xi Chao's heart is filled with Shen Wan, his heart is also filled by him. So, how could she bear to hurt him?
She always said that Xi Chao was a big fool, but in fact, she was not!
Cold Spring Palace is located in the extreme north of the palace, and I haven't met anyone along the way. All the way to the Cold Spring Palace, this place is like a real cold palace, not only colder than other places, but also rarer than other places.
His heart sank, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly heard someone shouting and asking, "Who!" ”
He turned his head and saw Xia Wenze, he really didn't expect that at this time, he was still protecting her all the time.
Xia Wenze was stunned when he saw that it was him, but he didn't stop him, and said, "You go in, she must ...... Would love to see you. ”
Xichao nodded at him gratefully, walked into the incomparably cold Cold Spring Palace, and finally saw Shen Wan sitting in clothes behind the old curtain.
