The sleeping spirit rhino suddenly had a cleverness and woke up. Outside the window, it was already dark, and the light in the room was very dark.

Lingxi sat up with his shoulders crossed, and found that the air in the room was cold, freezing the tip of his nose. Looking down at the brazier on the ground, there was no spark in it.

Lingxi sat up and shouted lotus leaves outside.

No one answered.

Lingxi sat up, put on heavy clothes and came to the outer hall, but there was no lotus leaf in the outer hall at all.

Lingxi pushed the door out and saw that the door of the small kitchen was closed, there was no smoke on the chimney, and the lotus leaves were not cooking inside.

Lingxi wondered, he only slept for a while, why did he get up and disappear?

When he returned to the house and saw that the bag where he had put rations on weekdays was gone, Lingxi understood in his heart that Lotus Leaf had gone to Mama Liu to ask for rations.

Knowing where the lotus leaves went, Lingxi's heart was steady. He put on a cotton cloak and went to the kitchen, first set the earth dragon on fire, and then boiled a mouthful of boiling water in the pot.

There was a 'bang' sound in the courtyard, and Lingxi shouted the name of the lotus leaf, but no one answered.

Lingxi pushed the door to see, where was there a figure in the vast snow? Only the snow that had been blown down from the roof by the strong wind was cold and cold on the face.

After suppressing the fire of the earth dragon, Lingxi returned to the dormitory, sat on the bed, and waited for the lotus leaf to come back.

Lingxi waited until the night was completely dark, and then he heard a 'squeak' from the temple door.

Lingxi stood up and shouted, "Lotus leaf, are you back?" ”

"Mother, it's a slave." The voice of the lotus leaf came, "Don't come out when it's dark, wait for the slave to go in." ”

Lingxi didn't doubt him, sat back on the bed and asked, "Lotus leaf, why did it take so long to get food today?" It must be that Mama Liu is difficult for you again. ”

Lotus Ye hummed, and then the sound of washing his face with water.

After about a cup of tea, Lotus Leaf walked in with a candlestick with red wax inserted in it.

Lingxi was surprised, "Where did you get the red candle?" Where did the candlestick come from? ”

After Lotus Ye put the candlestick on the small table beside Lingxi, she walked to Lingxi's bed and knelt down in front of Lingxi, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Niangniang, the slave can no longer wait for you." ”

Lingxi chuckled in his heart, and asked anxiously, "Lotus Ye, what are you talking about?" What happened? ”

Lotus Ye raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, looked at Lingxi and whispered, "Niangniang, the slave will tell you slowly, don't be afraid when you hear it." ”

Lingxi put his right hand on his chest, took a deep breath and nodded solemnly to the lotus leaf, "I'm not afraid, you can say it." ”

Lotus Ye snorted, and went to Mama Liu to get food, and said all the words she heard outside Mama Liu's house to Lingxi, and then talked about how she followed Biyun into the east wing, how there was a dispute, and how she killed Biyun......

“…… At that time, the slave maid was afraid of being in a hurry, so Mama Liu kept shouting outside. Lotus Ye said with tears in her eyes, "Then the slave maid thought, the slaves and maids on the left and right are all murders, so it is better to take Mama Liu a little more, which can be regarded as earning...... So the slave maid made a noise in the east wing, as if Biyun was fighting with the slave and maid, and then led Mama Liu to the wing room to help Biyun ......"

"That Mama Liu is strong, you ......"

"Niangniang, Mama Liu has eaten a lot of wine, and she can't stand steadily." Lotus Ye closed her eyes and choked up, "The slave stood behind the door and used all her strength......"

Lingxi said that he was not afraid, but after listening to all the lotus leaves, his face was already pale.

Lotus Leaf tears flowed down again, opened his eyes and looked at Lingxi, and said calmly, "Although the cold palace is a remote place, that Mama Liu is the head of the first palace after all. When someone finds their bodies, they must be investigated, and the slaves and maids know that they can't survive, but they are reluctant to let their mothers go. ”

Lotus Ye wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes again, but the tears flowed down again, "Tomorrow, the slave will take Granny Bai and Feiduo to live with Niangniang in the Tongxin Palace, Granny Bai's face is cold and warm, and she will definitely be able to take care of Niangniang." The slave was afraid that the mother would not eat in the future, so she carried all the food in the east wing back several times and buried it in the deep snow next to the well in our yard. The slave maid also found polished rice and white flour in the west wing, and also carried them back and hid them in the weeds in the west side hall. The slave and maid saw that there was a lot of ink and charcoal in the courtyard, and when the slave and maid went to carry it back, they also hid it in the courtyard, and the mother saved some use, and she would definitely be able to stand up until the Kaichun Emperor came up to pick up the mother out of the cold palace......"

Lotus Leaf cried and cried, crying and talking, and told her in detail how Lingxi would live after she left.

Lingxi first heard Lotus Ye say that she killed Mama Liu and Biyun, and her heart was indeed shocked. But when she listened to the lotus leaves thinking about herself one by one, her eyes were already red.

Lingxi got out of bed, knelt in front of the lotus leaf, wiped the lotus leaf's tears, but her own tears fell, "You hid those things this afternoon?" ”

Lotus Ye sobbed and nodded.

Lingxi picked up the lotus leaf's hands that could no longer find a piece of good skin, and tears rolled down, "Lotus leaf, why are you so stupid?" ”

Lotus Ye shook his head, sobbing and unable to say a complete sentence. At this time, in addition to fear, she regretted it. Lotus Ye does not regret killing Mama Liu and Biyun, she regrets that she was too impulsive. She's gone, who's going to take care of Lingxi?

Lingxi wiped his tears, pulled the lotus leaf and said, "Don't cry, let me ask you, did anyone see you when you did these things?" ”

Lotus Ye shook his head and sobbed, "No, it's windy and snowy today, and there is no one in the cold palace." ”

Lingxi pulled the lotus leaf to sit on the bed, rested his head on the lotus leaf's shoulder, closed his eyes and pondered.

After a long time, Lingxi straightened up and said to the lotus leaf who was still sobbing, "Don't cry, let's do one more thing, and this matter will be over." ”

Lotus Ye looked up at Lingxi suspiciously, she killed two people, how can this matter pass?

Lingxi held the red and swollen hands of lotus leaves, and whispered, "This snow is strong and windy, and it is a pity that Mama Liu is greedy and overturns the candlestick......

Lotus Ye raised her head violently, her eyes flashed brightly, "Niangniang, why didn't the slave think of it?" ”

"You're too nervous." Lingxi wiped the blood stains on the sideburns of the lotus leaves with a handkerchief, and said softly, "A fire is burned clean, let them send someone to investigate, I can't ask for it!" ”

On the seventh night of the twelfth month of the seventh year of Emperor Yong'an, the cold palace went to the water, and the courtyard where the master lived burned for a night and a half, and even the three-zhang high palace wall was burned red, reflecting half of the sky under the snowy night.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of December in the seventh year of Emperor Yong'an, the fire was extinguished, and only the broken wreckage remained in the entire courtyard.

The cold palace went to the water, and after reporting to Concubine Rou, he was directly pressed down by Concubine Rou. She had just taken charge of the Sixth Palace when something happened to her, and it was inevitable that she would say that she was not doing things well when it reached the ears of Emperor Yong'an.

In addition to ordering the palace to arrange for the housekeeper as soon as possible, Concubine Rou did not allow anyone to mention this matter again.

In the Yeting Palace, Hanyan knelt at the feet of the eunuch Ren Gonggong, who was in charge of the palace maid's stay, kowtowed, and said, "Ren, you let me go to the cold palace on an errand." When I go to the cold palace, I have a few dollars of silver, and if I stay like this, I won't be able to live after I leave the palace. ”

"It's late!" Father-in-law Ren said in a sharp voice, "Long before you, a palace maid begged for this errand, and you were late." ”

Hanyan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anyone else willing to go to that place in the cold palace?" ”

Father-in-law Ren pinched the orchid finger and picked up the teacup to drink tea, rolled his eyes and said, "You ask our family, who will our family ask?" Don't you want to go too? ”

"I'm different." Hanyan immediately put a complaining look on his face, and cried, "I really don't have any errands to do, what tricks do I have if I don't go?" Father-in-law, you will fulfill me, if you fulfill me, I will honor you well in the future. The Biography of Concubine Ying: ..

Father-in-law Ren squirted out a sip of tea, put down the teacup and pointed to Smoke with his index finger pinching the orchid finger, bared his teeth, glared and said, "You are sick, you are still too sick!" ”

Hanyan couldn't avoid being sprayed with tea by Ren's father-in-law, and after wiping his face, he said anxiously, "Father-in-law, if you fulfill me, I, I will give this to you." ”

Hanyan took off a green jade bracelet from his wrist and stuffed it into Ren's father-in-law's hand. This bracelet is rewarded by the smoke and the spirit of the flute, and the smoke has been a careful treasure. If it weren't for the fact that she had no objects on her body now, she would be reluctant to take them out and give them away.

Father-in-law Ren took the bracelet in his hand and looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's really a good thing, Miss Hanyan, why don't we arrange for you to go elsewhere?" Recently, Yi Jieyu wants to add people there, how about you go and be a rough palace maid? ”

Hanyan pleaded with Ren Gong, "Father-in-law, I have a demented Qiaozhu by my side, and I can't go to the favored lady on an errand, so you will fulfill me, let me go to the cold palace." ”

"Hmph," Father-in-law Ren lowered his face coldly, threw the bracelet back to Han Yan and said, "I don't know what to do, how many people can't squeeze into a good place if they want to!" ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and left, muttering in his heart, "When did this cold palace become a fragrant dumpling, not to mention the special assignment of people above, these little palace maids also cut their heads into sharp points and squeezed in."
