Chapter Ninety-Seven: Finally Entering the Cold Palace

The emperor stared at Concubine Xun and said with a sneer: "Could it be that Concubine Ai wants to say that someone else framed her?" This is from the hands of your marrying palace maid Lingzhu, Lingzhu has been with you for more than ten years, who has the ability to make Lingzhu move? ”

Concubine Xun was stunned when she heard this, stared at Lingzhu in disbelief, shook her head and said: "Lingzhu, you have followed this palace for more than ten years, and this palace actually didn't find out that you are a spy of the enemy country, this palace is really blind, you hurt this palace so hard." ”

Douda's tears flowed out of Concubine Xun's eyes, and with her decent dress and makeup, it made people feel pity and pity when they looked at it, and they couldn't bear to blame.

Lingzhu only stared gloomily at the emperor and Concubine Xun, and after a while, he looked up to the sky and smiled: "In the end, it was discovered by you, if it wasn't for your trust, how could I pass the news to the mother country, you didn't find out that you were too naïve and stupid, and I found out today, I didn't plan to get out alive, if I want to kill or listen to the honor." ”

Lingzhu didn't have any guilt at all, and his eyes were full of strange resentment. But what she said was too stupid and naïve was not Concubine Xun, but herself, for so many years, when Concubine Xun was the most difficult, when no grace was trampled on the soles of her feet like mud, she was willing to accompany her and suffer with her, just because her mother outside the Lingzhu Palace was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, Concubine Xun gave her ten taels of silver, with these ten taels of silver, her mother asked the doctor to buy medicine, and survived, she was grateful for this kindness, and these ten taels of silver were exchanged for her loyalty and protection for a lifetime.

In fact, even if Concubine Xun didn't push her out as a substitute for the dead, she was willing to die for her, but in the end, Concubine Xun didn't hesitate to push the charge on her, she suddenly felt very disappointed and sad, it turned out that so many years of loyalty and love were wrongly paid, so who is naïve and who is stupid.

She didn't hear the emperor's anger and the next drama of the concubine, she just recalled the past from childhood to adulthood, when she was a child, she suffered a famine, she was really desperate, and there was nothing to eat and gnaw at home, she decided to enter the palace as a palace maid, although she may not be able to return home for the rest of her life, but she can feed a family, and she can see the beautiful palace, and she can see the legendary emperor and Niangniang, which makes her look forward to it.

But after entering the palace, she didn't see the emperor and Niangniang, nor did she live in the magnificent palace, she was just assigned to the Huanyi Fang. There are clothes that can't be washed all day, it's okay in summer, but in winter, her hands are red and swollen, and when it comes to night, it hurts and itches when she gets chilblains, but the next day she still has to soak in cold water, so over and over again, her chilblains are not better in winter.

A pair of hands also don't match her age, and the perennial chilblains make her finger joints thick and look like carrots, and she doesn't have the appearance of slender hands that a girl should have. The rough work made her hands rough, and she couldn't bear to look at it herself.

Forget about this, because there is too much work, many times when it is done, the only rough scraps are gone, and you can only go hungry. Finally one day, she was ordered to send the washed clothes to the Xun concubine who was still a beauty at the time, and due to the fatigue of the days and the lack of food, she fell into the palace of the beauty of Xun.

When she woke up and saw that she was in a spacious and strange palace, her first reaction was that she was going to be scolded for getting into trouble, but what greeted her was a beautiful woman, there was no trace of anger on her face, just rubbed ointment on her with concern, and when she heard what happened to her, she asked to stay by her side, although she was still a palace maid, she no longer had to wash clothes all day and not eat enough.

Thinking of this, Lingzhu's face showed a warm smile, but she didn't know when tears climbed up her face, she only saw the emperor's and Xun's concubine's mouths moving, but she didn't hear anything in her ears, until she was pulled to the Shen Punishment Division, until the cold torture instrument was put on her ankles and wrists, and the piercing pain broke her thoughts.

The mother-in-law of the Shen Criminal Division interrogated her over and over again, who was the instigator and who she was loyal to, and the funny thing was that she didn't know who to say, but the people in the Shen Criminal Division only felt that she was stubborn and unwilling to speak, until all the torture tools were used up, until there was no complete skin on her body.

Lingzhu didn't know how many days she had been in the Shen Punishment Division, because the time was as long as a lifetime, and the endless torture was inflicted on her, until her eyes dried up and she couldn't shed a single tear, and her voice was hoarse and she couldn't make a sound, but the endless pain haunted her all day long, making her worse than death.

She could not tell whether it was day or night, for her eyelids were glued together until she heard the familiar voice, the voice of her master, but she could not see her beautiful face.

Lingzhu only heard the sound of the collision of pearls and cui in his ears, and then the voice of the concubine came into his ears: "Lingzhu, it's this palace that is sorry for you, this palace has come to send you, I'm sorry ......"

Concubine Xun couldn't cry, but Lingzhu was unwilling to say the Lord's envoy, her tongue was cut off, and she could only make a buzzing sound, until a moment later, she felt a tingling pain in her chest, as if relieved, and a serene smile appeared on her mouth.

She can finally be freed, if there is a next life, she doesn't want to enter the palace again.

Since the emperor left that day, he has never come to see the concubines, and ordered the concubines to be demoted to Xuncai due to their ineffective governance, and moved to the cold palace, and they are not allowed to visit or take a step in the cold palace.

Concubine Xun didn't think that in just one year, she entered the door of the cold palace like the queen, this time, the emperor was really disappointed, because how could a palace maid be a spy of the enemy country for more than ten years without being discovered by the master, so the emperor actually decided in his heart that the spy was Xun's, and Lingzhu was just a substitute for the dead, and the punishment of Lingzhu was also made for Concubine Xun.

Being able to keep her alive and keep her as a talented person is also to take into account Xiao Muheng's face, and he doesn't want the father and son to be too stiff.

Xuncai sat in the cold palace, there was no spirit bead around her, she was extremely lonely, and the only two palace maids who accompanied her no longer had the same humility as before, and there was a lot of complaint between her words, after all, what future did she have with a waste concubine in a cold palace.

Xun Cairen slowly combed her long hair like a waterfall, and there were already a few strands of white hair between her hair, and she slowly pulled them out one by one, with a calm and peaceful expression.

She was waiting, she was waiting for the day when her son would pick her up from the cold palace, after all, the biggest bargaining chip now was her son, and the emperor's favor was ethereal, she had already made plans for today.

It's just that she doesn't understand why more than ten years have passed, and the mother country is still unwilling to give up her chess piece, in fact, she doesn't know, she just fell for someone else's trick.

When Ah Er, who had returned to Lin Qingzhi's side, couldn't help but be curious, and asked why Lin Qingzhi knew that Concubine Xun was a spy of the enemy country, Lin Qingzhi just smiled and didn't answer directly, teasing Cheng Cheng with the small rattle at hand, and only said lightly, "You'll know soon." ”
