The autumn sun is shining, the golden autumn is in full bloom, but the cold palace is indeed cold and lonely all year round, and the Xuncai people, who are nearly forty years old, sit on the steps at the entrance of the cold palace, counting the ants moving and eating at their feet alone, with an indifferent and leisurely expression.

In the past few months since she was relegated to the cold palace, Emperor Xiao Jingjiao has not come to see her, and her son has not come, she seems to have been forgotten by the world, living alone in this deserted courtyard.

The two palace maids who served gradually lost their patience, and the master's call did not listen very much, but although the food was rough, and the clothes and ornaments no longer had silk and satin, jewelry and jade, but Xun Cairen did not cry or make trouble, but accepted all this calmly, insisted on eating the food every day, and even carried it with strong perseverance in the face of the wind and cold.

Because she was convinced that she must live longer than Emperor Xiao Jingjiao, he believed that her son had promised her that she would become the supreme queen mother, although it seems that there is little hope now, but many things are changeable, especially in the royal palace.

The sunlight poured into the masonry in front of the door, so bright that her eyes were slightly squinted and she didn't dare to open them, Xun Cairen sat on the stone steps, her head hung very low and looked at the small black dots on the ground moving, a gray footstep appeared in the afterglow of her vision, and when she looked up, the woman who came was dressed as a palace maid, her strange face was expressionless, but her eyes were full of sharp beams.

Xun Cairen glanced at the woman lightly, and there was no wave in his voice, and said, "I didn't expect that there would be guests visiting this cold palace." ”

The palace maid didn't pay attention to Xun Cairen's sneer, and lowered her voice and said: "Sister Liuli, since you entered this palace twenty years ago and became a mother, you have forgotten the tasks on your shoulders, you don't know the means of the concubine, right?" ”

Xun Shi turned his head and stared at the woman coldly, his face became a little distorted and frightened, and then said: "Liuli knows that she has betrayed the trust of the concubine, but now I am just an abandoned woman in the deep palace, and I have no ability to help the concubine." ”

The palace maid looked at Xun quietly and said coldly: "No, you can, you can give your life and push all this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is in the limelight." ”

Xun stood up tremblingly, looked at the palace goddess and said with some grief and indignation: "When the eldest concubine arranged for me to enter the palace as the daughter of the prefect of Yunyang Xun, I agreed, and she asked me to provide her with information about the Jin Kingdom on a regular basis, and I also agreed, she said that I would let me give the emperor a thousand machine poisons, and now Xiao Jingjiao can't live long, she clearly said that poisoning was the last thing I did for her, and let me go free from now on, but why don't you even let go of my cheap life now?!" ”

Xun's expression was excited, and his shoulders shook violently like autumn leaves about to fall.

The palace maid sighed and said quietly: "You and I are both concubines, I know that you can't help yourself, but for the sake of the great cause, you can only sacrifice your ego." ”

Xun Shi looked at the bright autumn sun above his head and smiled uncontrollably, which made people sound extremely harsh, and after laughing for a long time, he said, "Great cause? Isn't it still the personal ambition of the eldest concubine and Yelu Deguang? Could it be that the annexation of the Jin Kingdom will bring peace to the world? Have they ever thought about the pain of the people suffering from war, the separation of wives and families? Ego? Who doesn't want to live in harmony and happiness, who wants to be a disgraceful spy for the rest of his life! ”

The palace maid just looked at the Xun family with mournful eyes, and said slowly: "Sister Liuli should think about your son, King Xin, the eldest concubine has arranged for someone to enter the palace of King Xin, if you want to resist, your most beloved son will die." ”

Xun's gaze shot at the palace maid's face like a knife, and the palace maid was not afraid, still looking straight at Xun's, after a long time, Xun's retracted his gaze and looked into the distance, sneered and said: "Now I have no use value, and I hit the abacus on Heng'er again, but unfortunately my mother has no ability to plan for him. ”

Xun's eyes had crystal tears appearing, her face was full of sadness, at this moment, she could no longer disguise her indifferent and noble temperament, all the camouflage clothes fell apart at this moment, she finally lost, lost completely.

She is greedy for glory and power, she can't even tell if she has ever loved the high-ranking Jin Emperor Xiao Jingjiao, but she knows for sure that she loves their son, and in order to save Xiao Muheng's life, she is willing to die alone.

It's ridiculous to think about yourself, at the age of five, she witnessed her father and mother die under the knife, and it was the army led by Xiao Jingjiao who attacked. Yunzhou, once a beautiful hometown, where men and women weave, quiet and peaceful, all became scorched earth after being ceded to the Khitan, and then became a grassland, because the Khitan people graze for a living, they thought that all places should be pastures and cattle and sheep.

Since her parents were killed, she was brought to the Khitan concubine, and she went with more than a dozen girls of the same age, the concubine told them that all this was because of the ambition of the Jin Emperor Xiao Jingjiao's wolf, in order to ascend to the throne, the people's lives were disregarded, and then they lived in the mansion of the concubine's mother's family, the Hara family, after ten years, at the age of fifteen and the year of Jing, the concubine asked her if she was willing to seek revenge from Xiao Jingjiao, and told her that the best way to retaliate was to let his hard-won country come to naught, So she agreed to be the informant of the concubine and King Yelu.

But when she came to the Jin Kingdom, she saw the emperor who had hated him for ten years, watched him worry about state affairs, watched him review the recital with candles until late at night, and watched him sometimes call the name of the first empress Li with empty eyes and a painful expression, she seemed to be in a little uncomfortable, and her firm heart became soft.

Especially when the emperor held her and looked at her with that look, which made her intoxicated, and gave her all the good things, she was conflicted in her heart, but she still passed on the letter that should be passed on, until she knew that she was pregnant, until after giving birth, the fewer the letters she sent back to the northern Khitan.

Because she has a son, she just wants to live in peace and stability like this, she just wants her son to grow up healthily, but Jun'en is always too short and fleeting, the beauties in the harem are like clouds, and the cold is still coming as scheduled, although she is sad, but for the sake of her son, she wants to find a backing for him, so she worships the Buddha all day with the Queen Mother.

But the queen mother's heart is always more concerned about the motherless Xiao Mufeng, although she is not bad for Heng'er, but she is always inferior to Xiao Mufeng, and after that, she gradually no longer looks forward to the emperor's arrival, but the harem has always been high and low, the queen does not take her in her eyes, embarrassing her everywhere, and other concubines also come to make fun of her and ridicule her in order not to offend the queen, and she hates her very much.

People are doing it, the sky is watching, the queen and her son were too ostentatious and domineering, and finally fell, of course, she also contributed to the troubles in the middle.

Just when she thought that she was holding the victory, just when she thought that she had paved the road for her son Xiao Muheng, the emperor had the idea of making Xiao Mufeng the new crown prince, and this silent Xiao Mufeng didn't know where to come from, and it was not so easy to deal with.

So in the end she failed, death is not terrible for her, she just can't rest assured that her only son, before dying, seeing each other has become a luxury fantasy, it's just that, as long as he can live, he is willing to do anything, thinking of this, Xun Shi showed a rare smile, wrote a letter, tied Bai Aya, closed his eyes to welcome the arrival of death.
