The deeper you go, the more peaceful it becomes, the atmosphere is eerie, and the scorching sun is shining high in the sky, but you feel a chill coming.

Nanu timidly observed the surrounding road conditions, quietly stretched out her hand to pull the hem of Yisha's skirt, and gently tugged at it, feeling timid: "Queen, isn't this going in the direction of the deep palace?"

It is said that it is a cold palace, where the concubines who have always been snubbed by the first emperor live, and very few people usually pass by, and even the maids in the palace do not want to set foot in it, so it is better to ......... Shall we go back? ”

The woman who was sent to the cold palace was imprisoned here for the rest of her life, and she could not get half of the emperor's mercy, so the concubines who died here were extremely resentful, and no one wanted to come here unless the master ordered them.

"Neither of those two children was afraid, so what are we afraid of?" Knowing that she was timid and afraid of ghosts, Isa soothed Nanu's hand and comforted: "What's more, in broad daylight, even if there are ghosts, they will not choose to appear under the scorching sun, don't you often tell me that ghosts are afraid of light?" ”

"Yes, yes, you have a point!"

That being said, when it really came to this time, Nanu was afraid of being nervous, Xiaobu followed Yisha and lowered his head and didn't dare to look around, and there were words in his mouth from time to time: "I'm not a bad person, I'm just a little palace maid passing by, I didn't harm your life, if you want to find it, find your enemy, don't come to me!" ”

As he was chattering, he suddenly heard a slight 'whooshing' sound behind him, and Nanu's heart, which was originally hanging in mid-air, immediately tightened, like a frightened rabbit, and shouted in panic: "Ghost! Don't come to me! I'm innocent, I didn't hurt you! ”

"Hahahaha........."

The child's mocking laughter pulled her back to her senses, and Nanu realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around to look, ouch, weren't they the two children who had disappeared!

It turned out that for a long time, they hid behind her and deliberately scared her!

Nanu's eyes widened in anger, and she said with a threatening expression: "Child, you dare to scare me? See if I don't catch you, feed those lonely ghosts! ”

"Slightly......... You can't catch me! Brother Minti protects me! The young boy made a mischievous face at her, and then ducked behind the boy in blue.

The boy in blue laughed and laughed at Nanu's timidity: "Aunt Ati said that there are no ghosts in this world at all, and the so-called ghosts are all virtual characters made up by you cowards, you are so afraid of ghosts, isn't it that you have done something wrong?" ”

"You......... You've just done something wrong! ”

Nana's servile face was red and her neck was thick, and she stomped her feet and opened her teeth and claws to catch them, "You-you-you two little ghosts, stop me!" ”

"Hee-hee-hee......... You can't catch us........."

"Slightly......... You idiot......... Slow-moving stupid girl. ”

The two children were naturally sensitive, jumping up and down, hiding under the stone table for a while, and hiding behind the rockery for a while, making Nanu's eyes so busy that they didn't know which one to catch first.

"Minti, shaman, don't be rude!"

Just when Nanu was angry and couldn't catch anyone, a slightly serious female voice sounded.

Yisha turned her head to see that a few meters away, there was a woman in plain clothes, holding a wardbasin, as if she had just returned from washing her clothes.

The two children who were tired of making grimaces shook their bodies when they heard the voice, and immediately changed from naughty children to obedient appearances, and came to the woman's side like a ghost, and pulled her skirt flatteringly, "Aunt Ati, we greet them, we are very obedient, not naughty!" ”

"Hey, did you say hello like that?! It's rude to be unruly at a young age! Nanu interjected dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, it's the slave who can't discipline her."

The maidservant, known as Aunt Ati, took the initiative to apologize and looked over Nanu to Isa.

She was looking at herself, with doubts, inquiries, and a hint of panic, and she deliberately suppressed her emotions, even though the two looked at each other for only a moment, Isa could still see her thoughts.

Ati looked away in a little panic and dragged the two young children beside her to kneel down and salute together.

"Slave and maid see the queen's mother, the child is young and ignorant, if there is a place that collides with you, please spare them a lot!"

She buried her head very low, Yisha couldn't see her face, her arms around the child trembled faintly, a little nervous, a little uneasy, and she didn't see the calm and calm appearance when she first appeared.

Being in the deep palace all the year round, who would have thought that one day the queen would appear here, which really shocked her.

"Oh? I have not said a word, why do you think I am a queen? Isa raised her eyebrows, interested in the woman.

Ai Ti slowly raised her head, and saw that Yisha's face was gentle, and her eyes were kind, which seemed to be different from the concubines who were difficult to approach in the past, and her hanging heart couldn't help but drop a little.

Kowtowing respectfully, she replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he cleaned up all the concubines left by the first emperor, and on the day he ascended the throne, he married a peerless beauty. For half a year, the Holy Lord has never accepted another concubine, so there is only one queen in the harem. The slave and maid see that you are richly dressed and have a beautiful posture, you should be the queen of the Holy Lord's sole favor......... Slaves......... Right? ”

"What a clever maid!" Yisha Dayue gently held her arm and motioned for her to get up, "You guessed right, I'm not a flood beast, you don't need to be nervous." ”

As he spoke, thinking of their mysterious identities, he couldn't help but wonder and asked: "The cold palace is where the disgraced concubines live, and this place has been abandoned for a long time, why do you live here?" And both of them ......... And who? ”

Could it be ......... Is she a concubine left behind when she cleaned up the harem?

There is a possibility.

The emperor died, and the new emperor cleaned up the women left by the first emperor, because some concubines had no relatives outside the palace and had no fixed residence, rather than going out to face the days of hunger, it was better to continue to stay and enjoy the glory.

"You're mistaken." Aiti saw Yisha's thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "The slave and maid are not concubines, the slave and maid are humble, they do laundry and chores in the Huanyi Bureau, and secretly live in the cold palace, and no one knows." ”

Yisha was surprised and asked, "Why do you secretly live in the cold palace?" ”

"Slave maid ........." Ai Ti sighed, lightly hugged the two children beside her, and told the source of the matter in detail: "The slave maid has been in the palace for ten years, watching the changes in the harem, experiencing the decline of honor and disgrace, the slave maid once served the first princess and concubine, and one night the first king was drunk, passing by the Fuxia Palace, and accidentally pampered my master. Unexpectedly, when he woke up one night, the first king left ruthlessly, and never set foot in the palace again, and the master was unexpectedly pregnant and gave birth to the prince next to me. ”

"He's the child of the first emperor?" Isa grabbed the boy's shoulders in surprise and stared at him in disbelief.
