Time gradually slipped by, and when it was time for the meal, there was no one to deliver it.

The palace people were hungry, scared and cold, huddled together, looking out the window in despair.

Outside the window, there were many people, and the guards came in and out, either cleaning the fire or searching the scene.

He Miao frowned slightly, although she had reminded the concubine before that she used Mama Zhang as an excuse to get her father out of the main hall, but the concubine didn't necessarily think of her, she had to do something and leave when it was dark.

She cleared her throat: "Will Your Majesty be kind enough to let us out?" ”

Someone said sharply: "Let us out?" You've got a lot to think about! ”

Immediately, someone retorted: "Why can't you let us out?" What did we do wrong? We're not Assassins! ”

"Does it matter?" The man said coldly, "If you deserve it, you will die, we are just untouchables, and our lives are worthless." ”

Everyone was silent, yes, in the eyes of the nobles, right and wrong do not matter, the important thing is that they say that you are wrong and you have to die.

He Miao said: "I don't understand, but isn't there still a national law and palace rules?" ”

"Hah! The rules of the national law? It was the palace man who said before that she wanted to be beautiful and sarcastically mocked her loudly: "Where did this idiot come from?" How dare a pariah talk to a nobleman about the laws of the country and the rules of the palace? Untouchables only deserve to say thank you to the nobles! ”

This person is really interesting, He Miao poked her head and stared at the palace man.

This is a palace maid in her twenties, with high cheekbones, a thin face, and not very good-looking.

Seeing He Miao staring at herself, she flicked her sleeves angrily: "What do you see?" Stupid girl! ”

He Miao didn't remember that she had seen this person in the Ripple Palace, so she asked, "Who is my sister?" ”

The palace maid snorted, ignored her, and turned her head arrogantly.

"Her name is Jinping." A palace person whispered to remind He Miao: "Don't mess with her, she is the daughter of a criminal minister, she has read a lot of books, and the queen mother used to look up to her, but her mouth is particularly hateful, unlikable, and has been degraded, and she was relegated to our palace to do that today." ”

The meaning of doing it is the meaning of washing the toilet for the concubine.

They were all relegated to the toilet bowl, and they were unlucky enough to be locked up and waiting for death, which was really bad luck.

He Miao asked Jin Ping: "Then won't we die in vain?" I don't want to die, I'm still so young, and I still have my father and mother at home."

Jin Ping rolled his eyes: "What about dying in vain, your father and your mother deserve to cry to death, who let them die badly." ”

Her mouth was poisonous, but she was right.

A new round of crying began, the crying became louder and louder, and the restless emotions began to spread, and someone rushed over and knocked on the door: "Wronged, let us out!" We don't know anything! ”

More and more people banged on the door and cried, and the crying shook the sky.

The people outside heard it, and stood at the door and shouted threats, but no one paid attention to it, they were going to die anyway, it was nothing more than a moment of early death, what are you afraid of!

The door was suddenly opened, and several guards rushed in, smashing their heads and faces with sticks in their hands: "Don't cry, if you cry again, you will be killed immediately!" ”

The first few palace people were beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding, and the crying was temporarily suppressed, Jin Ping suddenly stood up, took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them over: "Be merciful and forgiving, please be merciful." ”

The guard snatched the silver from her hand: "It's going to die anyway, it's useless to keep it." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Jinping asked loudly, "Who said they wanted us to die?" ”

"Of course it's from above! Damn it, don't you count it? The guard sneered and stepped back to lock the door.

Despair crept in, and someone whispered, "We, are we really going to die?" We didn't do anything! ”

Jin Ping asked coldly, "Are you willing?" ”

No one dared to answer her, and He Miao whispered, "I'm not reconciled." ”

Jin Ping glanced at He Miao and asked a few palace people who were beaten: "You have entered the palace since you were a child, you get up early and are greedy for darkness, you only promise, all you want is to live, but they"

She pointed out the window and said in a deep voice, "If you don't agree, you can let us die!" There are so many of us, so many lives, and they can let us die with a single word! Are you going to die in vain? ”

The hatred grew stronger, and some people said in despair: "But what can we do? Even if you break through this gate, you can't get out of the palace gate. ”

Jin Ping said coldly: "Being killed like a pig is not the same as dying like a person. Even if I die, I'll have to pull a few cushions! ”

"I'm not reconciled!"

"I know that there is a road to the Nangong Gate, which only takes a stick of incense"

Several people gathered around Jinping and began to discuss in a whisper.

He Miao knew that his opportunity had come.

When it gets dark, these palace people start to act, and she has to help them, and then take advantage of the troubled waters to fish and do her own thing.

The door was suddenly opened, and a guard stood outside and shouted, "Who is Xiuxiu?" ”

"I am." Xiuxiu is He Miao's pseudonym in the palace, and she pretends to be scared and says, "I didn't do anything"

The guards dragged her out: "A lot of nonsense! ”

The seedlings wept and cried, observing as they walked.

Even in such chaos, the concubine did not leave the Ripple Palace, but lived in the Ripple Building on the west side of the Ripple Palace.

The real Mama Zhang stood downstairs and received He Miao, looked her up and down coldly, and asked coldly: "I heard that you reminded Niangniang that I have never come out of the main hall when I am still in the main hall?" ”

He Miao bowed her head and saluted: "If you return to Mama, that's the case." ”

Mama Zhang sneered: "I can't remember who you are, but you remember me like this, what's the reason?" ”

"Mama is the first person to use by Niangniang's side, you can not remember who Xiuxiu is, but Xiuxiu can't remember who you are."

He Miao knew that they were suspicious, after all, she gave the concubine this reminder at that time, which was too coincidental.

Perhaps, Mama Zhang asked her here, and the concubine and the emperor stood behind the door eavesdropping.

He Miao smiled flatteringly and honestly: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask my grandmother to teach me that I know I am stupid, but I don't want to prune flowers and trees all my life, I want to learn some real skills, and I can support myself after leaving the palace in the future."

Her voice became smaller and quieter: "I scraped together some money, I want to honor Mama and buy some tea for Mama"

Mama Zhang was unmoved, her expression became more and more cold, and she suddenly shouted: "You dare to quibble!" It is clearly ill-intentioned to spy on the life of the concubine! Take her down for me! Beat to death with sticks! ”

"Oh, don't!" He Miao fell to the ground softly, shook her hand vigorously, and begged for mercy desperately: "I really don't have it, it was Sister Xiuzhu who asked me to find you!" ”

Xiuzhu is one of the maids next to the concubine, this is not difficult to verify, Mama Zhang made a look, and someone went to check it.

After half the incense was burned, a palace man whispered a few words in Mama Zhang's ear and handed something to Mama Zhang.
