Snow, stopped.

As far as the eye can see, it is white.

The winter sun has broken through the clouds and revealed its face.

Outside, it's snowy.

Inside, the temperature dropped again, and especially, it was still a house without a charcoal fire.

Gotta get it.

Crunch, squeak.

Click, click.

Outside the courtyard, the sound of wheels rolling in snow and horses exhaling suddenly sounded.

Although it was still outside the courtyard, the sound could clearly reach the ears of the people curled up into balls on the bed boards in the room.

The person on the bed moved subconsciously, and then regained his calm.

Outside the courtyard, the carriage stopped.

The woman in heavy clothes lifted the curtain, looked at the situation in the yard, then paused, turned to the person in the curtain and said, "Niangniang, the snow in the yard has not been cleared yet, your phoenix body is important, why don't you let the slave and maid sweep the snow out of the road first, and then you can get off the carriage?" ”

"Not necessarily." A soft, unmistakable woman's voice came from the carriage, and some movement was heard from inside the carriage.

The slave who spoke first immediately lifted the curtain when she heard the sound, raised the curtain with one hand, and held a slender jade hand with the other.

The master of the hand got out of the carriage with the hand of the slave and maid, stepped on the low stool set up by the eunuch to drive the carriage, and looked at the scenery in the courtyard, but there was no wave in his eyes.

Crunch, squeak.

The woman, who was called Niangniang, dressed in a mink fur, holding a small stove in one hand and a slave in the other, walked slowly into the courtyard and walked in the direction of the house without pause. The eunuch waited respectfully by the carriage, his head bowed, and his ears did not hear the sound of the voice in all directions.

Squeak.

The slave pushed open the door of the house, and was greeted by a heavy, unpleasant smell.

"Niangniang..." the slave frowned, and turned her head to persuade Niangniang not to go in.

But the mother raised her hand to stop her words, took out the handkerchief in her arms, covered her mouth and nose, and walked in.

The person on the wooden bed in the room was no longer curled up before. As soon as she heard their conversation outside the house, she opened her lifeless eyes, lay flat on her back, and turned her head to the door.

"Niangniang...", a breathless voice came from the direction of the woman on the bedboard, "Niangniang, is it to see the slave swallow her last breath with your own eyes, so that you can rest assured?" The corners of the woman's mouth curled in a mocking arc on the woman's haggard, inhuman-shaped face on the bed board.

"Presumptuous! Dare to use such a disrespectful tone to the concubine, Liu Dai, you are looking for death! When the slave heard this, she immediately scolded loudly.

"Looking for death? Scold... Liu Dai closed her eyelids, and after a while she opened them again, looking at the slave who was standing next to the concubine Niangniang, dressed in heavy and warm clothes, and pulled the corners of her mouth again, "Qing'er, you are so funny, I, if I don't have to look for it, I will die." ”

Once upon a time, she was the one who stood beside the graceful and luxurious woman and faithfully reprimanded those who were ignorant slaves.

But what about then?

Loyal to her, for the sake of her master, she leads her master's orders, helps her master take care of the man she loves the most, even if the master can never be with the man she loves the most, and does not let any woman approach him.

The result?

It's just because the man has a trace of tenderness for her, and even said to her master in the end that he will not marry a wife for life, but he will accept her as a roommate.

Her good master no longer trusted her, and even agreed to the man on his face, but behind his back, he used the means of dealing with those harem concubines competing for favor to deal with her.

Can't she see it?

No, she has been following her master for many years, which of these methods she has not seen, and even more, some of them are what she does for her master!

So, did she avoid it all?

Inexistent.

Because, that is her master, and the master let her die, can she refuse? Zuo is only the fifteenth day of junior high school, she is just cold.

In the end, she was tortured and waited for death like this, in fact, she regretted it.

knew that the kind and gentle master would be so cruel to her, she might as well end herself with a knife, anyway, in this world, after her mother died, she was just alone.

Therefore, what she regrets is not that she obeyed her master's orders, but that she regretted not ending herself happily.

"You! Qing'er listened to Liu Dai's words, pointed at Liu Dai, who was angry, and didn't know how to refute for a while.

"Qing'er!" The concubine opened her mouth and called.

Qing'er heard Niangniang's call, and immediately retreated to Niangniang's side and took a step back.

Only then did the concubine turn to Liu Dai on the bed board, and her eyes were dark, "Since I knew this earlier, why bother in the first place!" ”

Liu Dai's gray eyes looked at the eyes of the concubine Niangniang, and gradually closed her eyelids again, "Niangniang doesn't believe in slaves after all, so don't worry." ”

There was a momentary shaking in the eyes of the concubine Niangniang, and the hand under the sleeve of her shirt was clenched tightly, "It was you who betrayed the palace!" You shouldn't have to, let him like you, and this palace should be fulfilled! This palace will never allow it, it will never be allowed! ”

Liu Dai listened to the angry voice of the concubine, and the eyeballs under her eyelids moved, but she didn't open them again, and she didn't open them again.

After the concubine Niangniang finished her breath, she instantly returned to her graceful and luxurious appearance, but when she looked at Liu Dai on the bedboard, her eyes were extremely cold.

The concubine gave Qing'er a color.

Qing'er immediately stepped forward, took out a pill from her sleeve, and walked quickly to the direction of the bed.

"Eat this pill, this palace will have nothing to do with your master and servant!" Seeing that Qing'er had arrived at Liu Dai's side, the concubine said again. At this time, her tone was no longer the softness and majesty that she had started with, but the extreme coldness and contempt.

Liu Dai opened her eyes when she heard this, looking at the pill between Qing'er's fingers, a tear slipped out of the corner of her eye, and her mouth opened without hesitation. Obviously, she already knew, and she would have died a long time ago, didn't she? Why did she feel the painful suffocation right now?

Swallowing the pill, Liu Dai closed her eyes again.

In an instant, her haggard face tugged together, and her body began to curl up and twitch.

"Ugh! …”

Qing'er was shocked when she saw Liu Dai's appearance, and hurriedly stepped back, subconsciously looking at the concubine.

Liu Dai felt that her master was really ruthless! Why don't you let her die happily? Obviously he had already tortured her until this time, why did he want her to suffer so much if she died in the end? Is it true that there is no master-servant affection at all?

Difficulty breathing smoothly.

The limbs twitched.

It's like a frying in the body.

As for the heart...

In short, it hurts!

However, even so, Liu Dai still bit her lower lip tightly, even if her lower lip had been bitten off, except for the moan at the beginning, she never made a sound.

In this way, it lasted for a quarter of an hour, and Liu Dai's body finally stopped twitching, and... There was no more movement.

Qing'er waited for a while without moving, then stepped forward and reached out to her nose, looking at the lips and teeth that had been penetrated by the teeth and stuck together, Qing'er sighed in her heart for no reason, and then immediately turned around and walked quickly to the side of the concubine Niangniang, "Niangniang, it's out of gas." ”

The concubine Niangniang looked at the corpse on the bed board indifferently, said "um" softly, and then turned around and took Qing'er's hand, "This palace brought you today, first, I believe you, and second, I want you to know the fate of betraying this palace!" ”

"Niangniang Shengming, slaves and maids have no two hearts!" When Qing'er heard this, she quickly knelt down, not caring if the snow would soak her clothes.

"Get up." The concubine looked at Qing'er indifferently, and there seemed to be a little satisfaction in her eyes, so she took Qing'er's hand and returned to the carriage, and the eunuch who drove the carriage lowered his head from beginning to end without raising his look.

Syllable!

The whip was quickly waved, and the carriage gradually moved away from the courtyard, and with the occasional cold wind blowing and creaking through the half-open doors, no one would find a corpse.

After all... It's a remote yard...
