The cold palace in the harem of Dashun is a palace that has been abandoned for many years, called Zhaohua Palace, which is located in the southeast corner of the East Sixth Palace. It used to be one of the six palaces in the east, but it was isolated by a high wall and became an outer palace.

After the Zhaohua Palace was abandoned, there was the Yongshou Palace, which was later rebuilt on the northeast corner.

The first owner of Zhaohua Palace is the ancestor who disliked one of the concubines the most, the former residence of Concubine Jing.

Although Concubine Jing was later married to the ancestor, she and the ancestor were childhood sweethearts, and they had a love affair since childhood.

When you are young, it is always true, but no matter how true it is, it can't compare to the ambition of your ancestors. For the sake of the great cause, the ancestor married the daughter of a powerful general who could calm the world and hold half of the country in the previous dynasty.

Concubine Jing naturally became a side room.

Although it is a side room, it won the love of the ancestors in the early years, otherwise it would not have won the concubine position, and the queen at that time was as famous.

In the eyes of Concubine Jing, who admired the ancestors, the ancestors were not emperors, but ordinary men who grew up with her, loved her, loved her, and regarded her as a treasure. In the eyes of the ancestors who had three thousand beauties in the harem, Concubine Jing was already a beauty in her twilight.

The beauty is already sad, and what is even more tragic is that the beauty of the twilight does not take her position properly, always competes with the young and beautiful concubines, and also does things that murder the emperor's heir and damage the royal reputation.

The final result was that he was ordered by the ancestors to be confined in the Zhaohua Palace.

In the harem of the early days of Dashun, there were large pieces of dream bamboo. Because of its gorgeous flowers, it is highly sought after by harem concubines.

In the Zhaohua Palace, it is full of dream bamboo, which is known as the most beautiful place in the harem of Dashun.

The ancestor decreed that Concubine Jing was imprisoned for three months, from March to midsummer in June.

When the palace gate of Zhaohua Palace opened again, more than 100 palace people in Zhaohua Palace were all poisoned by Mengzhu's flower and slept in the palace for a long time.

The floral fragrance of Mengzhu is mixed with the internal smell of **, which has become the most creepy smell in the harem of Dashun at that time.

Zhaohua Palace has become a palace of death, and no concubine dares to live there.

Later, Zhaohua Palace became a cold palace, specially used to imprison the palace concubines who violated the palace rules and were deposed.

As soon as the 21st day of October in the seventh year of Yong'an was polished, Lingxi took the lotus leaf and followed a little eunuch out of Yongle Palace with a burden.

After Wan came out of the palace gate of Yongle Palace, Lingxi stood still and looked north.

To the north of Yongle Palace, is Qingle Palace. In the Qingle Palace, there are the five princes who live in the heart of the Lingxi.

"Don't look at it." The little eunuch who led the way yawned and said with a cold face, "After a while, everyone in the womb will get up, and you will be the one who will have no face at that time." At that time, our family will not suffer from that idleness with you. ”

Lingxi wore a water-blue plain suit, his head was in a short bun, the gold wisps on his hair were not stained, and his face was even more frighteningly pale. Lotus Ye wanted to put a cloak on Lingxi, but was stopped by Lingxi.

She must clearly remember every bit of her suffering, and when she is in a high position again in the coming day, she will not forget the humiliation of today.

Lotus Ye listened to the words of the little eunuch, gritted his teeth and took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, handed it to the little eunuch and said, "Please let my father-in-law tolerate some effort, and let my mother take a second look." ”

The little eunuch took the silver and put two pads in his hand, and let out a sneer in his mouth, "Niangniang? Hmph, it's also worthy! ”

Although the words are ugly, they no longer urge the spirits.

Lotus Ye was angry when she heard the words of the little eunuch, and even raised her eyes and glared at her.

After the little eunuch took the silver coin, he didn't argue with the lotus leaf, but only hummed a minor tune without a tune in his mouth.

The sun had not yet risen, and Lingxi could only see the general outline of Qingle Palace. She was thinking more than once in her heart that the fifth prince would cry loudly at night after changing the palace and missing his mother.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Lingxi's heart became. In the end, Lingxi could only force herself to pull her mind away from the body of the fifth prince, otherwise she was afraid that she would not have the courage to go down the road.

Lingxi retracted his gaze from afar, turned back to the little eunuch and said, "I'm delaying my father-in-law's time, let's go." ”

The little eunuch walked ahead again to lead the way, and chose a secluded place to walk. The reason is that the person who was degraded by Lingxi was unlucky, and he took the right road and collided with the master of Jingui, and he couldn't afford to bear it.

The night was difficult, and Lingxi followed the little eunuch, and almost slipped on the gravel road several times.

Lotus Ye has always been calm, but in front of this little eunuch, Lotus Ye lost his temper twice in succession, and each time Lingxi stopped him.

After Lingxi stopped Lotus Leaf for the third time, Lotus Leaf frowned and said, "Niangniang, why are you so courteous to him?!" ”

"They all suffered as errands, and it was unfortunate for him to take this errand for nothing, and it was inevitable that he would have some resentment in his heart." At this time, Lingxi's mood had calmed down, although his eyes were still red and swollen, his brain was very clear. She said to Lotus Ye, "He said a few words and let him say, no matter how ugly you are, haven't I heard of you?" Why bother to control this idleness, he is not happy in his heart, and we are not comfortable in our hearts. ”

Lotus Ye knew that she was impetuous, and after holding Lingxi's arm, she said, "Niangniang, the slave knows." ”

The little eunuch walked in front, leaning back, obviously hearing Lingxi's words. Although he didn't look back and say anything, it was much easier to walk when he picked the road behind.

In the morning light, Lingxi raised his eyebrows at the lotus leaf, and the lotus leaf stretched out his thumb to the Lingxi.

Slaves are like this, they live at the bottom and suffer a lot, and they like to raise and step on the bottom on weekdays. But if anyone really treats them as human beings, they will also give up a bit or two of sincerity.

When the three of them walked to a high pink palace wall, the sun had already risen high.

Lingxi looked up at the wall, which was more than three feet high, and there was no edge left and right. It's painted pink like other palace walls, but it makes people feel so cold than other palace walls. Unknown flowers and trees are planted under the palace walls, and because it is not the flowering season, they are all green leaves. Shining in the sun, like emeralds.

The little eunuch pointed to the vermilion gate on the palace wall, which was one zhang high and five feet wide, and said to Lingxi, "When you enter the gate, it is the cold palace." ”

Lotus Ye looked at the door in surprise, "The cold palace is outside the palace?" ”

"Where?" The little eunuch explained rarely, "It's also in the palace, but it's just separated by a high wall." I don't know why, but I know that the people who walked in didn't come out again. ”

"The cold palace was originally called Zhaohua Palace, and it was isolated because many people had died here." Lingxi looked at the high palace wall and said indifferently.

"Yo," the little eunuch glanced at Lingxi and raised his eyebrows, "You know a lot, let's hear it." ”

Lingxi walked up to the door and slapped it with all his strength. When he stopped, his palms were hot and numb.

Lingxi turned back to the little eunuch and said, "This is a taboo in the palace, you still don't know it." ”

The little eunuch didn't force it, he dragged down a leaf from the tree next to the high wall, bit it in his mouth, and said to Lingxi, "You are the first to knock on the gate of the cold palace by yourself." ”

Lingxi looked at the door and sneered, "Don't you have to go in if you don't knock?" It is not this one-foot-high gate that closes me, but the emperor's holy decree. ”

The little eunuch nodded, walked over to Lingxi's side, raised his foot, and kicked the door open with a squeak. The little eunuch turned back to Lingxi and said, "This cold palace is in the hands of an old grandmother, and she is very greedy for money. ”

Lingxi glanced at Lotus Ye, and Lotus Leaf immediately took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it in the little eunuch's hand, thanking him for revealing the news intentionally or unintentionally.

Although this news is of little use to them.

The little eunuch was happy to get the money, threw the silver high and caught it, and said, "Just send me like this, remember not to use silver taels when sending that master when you send ...... child."

The little eunuch was casual, and Lingxi understood in his heart. From the baggage, he took out a jade bracelet and a jade hairpin and two pieces of jewelry. After Lingxi handed the jade hairpin to the little eunuch, he put the jade bracelet on his wrist.

Who is not the one who has entered the cold palace who was once a noble lord? The precious man of gold is not worth silver taels, but jewelry. The little eunuch was clearly telling Lingxi that if he gave that lady two pieces of silver, the old lady would blow it up again and again. If you give the jewelry directly, you will live more comfortably.

The little eunuch saw that Lingxi understood what he meant, and gave him this jade hairpin with good color, and immediately said flattering to Lingxi, "Niangniang is so smart, there will definitely be a day when she walks out of the cold palace." Don't forget the slave when the time comes, let the slave make a modest contribution to the mother. ”

Lingxi raised his eyebrows and said, "The icing on the cake is naturally festive, and sending charcoal in the snow is even more precious." ”

The little eunuch suddenly shut up and did not continue.

"I'm tired of my father-in-law leading the way. We went in. Lingxi took a deep breath, took the lotus leaf and walked towards him in the cold palace, and the old lady greeted him.

The grandmother was stunned when she saw Lingxi walking in by herself with a burden. Immediately with a disgust on his face, he walked behind Lingxi, and closed the door with a 'squeak' and locked it with a 'click'.

Hearing the sound of the door of the cold palace being locked, Lingxi's heart that had been hanging fell to the ground.

She walked into the cold palace alive and did not commit suicide in fear of sin......
