The ceremony of Jin Feng Concubine was held in July, Wei Zijue and Wei Yunsi had just passed their first birthday, and they officially entered the virtual age of two years old.

Nan Huazhu successfully got the power of the assistant sixth palace and became the second-in-command under Yu Lanqing, which can be described as a moment of glory.

But the scenery of Nanhuazhu fell in Zhao Li'er's eyes, it was a little dazzling, she had everything, she just wanted to be a nobleman, why was it so difficult? Is it really as Nan Huazhu said that she has done her best, or is it that in order to curry favor with the queen and fight for her own interests, Nan Huazhu simply uses her as a victim?

No matter how you look at it now, it's more like the second type.

But Zhao Li'er is not ready to tear her face with Nan Huazhu, Nan Huazhu's current status still has a place to use her, but she is working independently, and if she wants to work with one heart and one mind in the future, I am afraid she can't.

The most uncomfortable thing for Zhao Li'er is the return of Yu Lan, on the third day after the ceremony, Yu Lan was released from the cold palace, these years, compared to Zhou Zhixi who was assigned to Changling Mountain and Jiang Mei who went to Yuhe, Yu Lan is the most bitter, the days of the cold palace are grinding, in those places far away from the emperor, maybe it can be slightly better, and you can live more comfortably with a little more silver, plus both Zhou Zhixi and Jiang Mei have Yu Lanqing's words as a guarantee, and they have not suffered too much, Yu Lan is different.

There are only a few broken palaces in the cold palace, the wind leaks in the house at night, if you meet a rainstorm, don't want to sleep overnight, these three years, Yu Lan has tasted the white eyes of being abused, and never thought that she would get out of the cold palace and see the light of day again.

In the past three years, she has dreamed more than once of what Zhou Yan said when she took the string of Buddhist beads to her, every subtle expression, every time she woke up in a dream, Yu Lan would remember this bloody lesson.

In the years of the cold palace, if you want to drink water, you have to pick it yourself, if you want to eat, you have to go crazy to grab it, even if you are sick, you can only carry it by yourself, and you can still live... It's a miracle.

On this lonely and lengthy palace road, only she and Qiaozuo walked slowly, obviously they were under the same sky, but Yu Lan felt that such fresh air, such a clear blue sky, and such bright bricks and tiles were all things that she had only seen in her previous life.

This year should be drafted, the emperor and queen are merciful and gracious, and the harem is awarded to appease the previous dynasty, so there is a day when she can come out, Qiaozuo helped her slowly walk in the direction of Qinglan Palace, and before the palace road that was about to walk out of the cold palace, Yu Lan stopped.

Standing here, I can already hear the bustling voices not far away, I haven't heard such a sound for a long time, and Yu Lan's whole body is trembling violently.

She was afraid.

She was afraid of staying in the cold palace, being bitten by rats, being in the company of cockroaches, cold in winter and hot in summer, and she was very afraid of the days when she was full and hungry.

But she was also afraid of those women, those women who were smarter than her, who were more beautiful than her, who were a thousand times more vicious than her heart.

She still doesn't know why Zhou Yan, who called her sister with a smile like that, wants to hurt her, and she doesn't know how to face Zhao Li'er's gaze when she goes back this time.

Qiao Zuo clenched Yu Lan's hand, and was saddened by her: "Master... Don't be afraid, master, this is pardoned by the queen mother and the emperor personally, no one can say anything, no one can say anything. ”

Yu Lan raised her eyes in fright, suddenly broke free of Qiaozuo's hand, raised her sleeve to smell it, and handed it to Qiaozuo: "You smell, you smell it, do you smell it?!" ”

Qiaozuo was frightened, and shook his head again and again: "I didn't smell it, master, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong with you? ”

Yu Lan leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down along the corner of the wall, and after a long while, she cried out in a broken voice: "Qiaozuo, can't you smell it?" My body is full of musty, rancid smell, I walk out from here, those smells, everyone, everyone! I don't dare to go out, so clever... I don't dare. ”

Before leaving the cold palace, the queen specially sent her aunt to send clean clothes and wait for them to bathe, where is the smell on her body at this time, it is Yu Lan's own heart, she remembers her own taste, and suddenly has to face so many strange eyes, she is really afraid!

Qiao Zora can't move Yu Lan, the two of them have been skinny over the years, and the harsh environment has turned the once proud girl of the sky into this skinny appearance, destroying all her pride, in front of life, any dignity has long ceased to be dignity.

But now, she walked out of that place and asked her to pick up her dignity and pride from the mud again, and Yu Lan was really too broken.

Qiaozuo didn't know how to persuade her, and she also understood Yu Lan's current feelings, so she could only squat down and accompany Yu Lan, and the two were silent and crying together, like ruins abandoned by the world in this corner.

"Crying for what?"

I don't know how long it has been, both legs have been completely numb, and suddenly I heard a familiar voice not far away.

It was familiar, but at this moment, Yu Lan couldn't remember whose voice it was.

Her tears had dried up, and when she looked up, she squinted her eyes slightly because of the dazzling sunlight, and it took a long time before she could see clearly who was the woman with her back to the sun, her face shrouded in shadows, and she was looking at herself.

"Jiang... Mae? It's been too long since I've called their names, Yu Lan's first reaction after seeing people clearly is just to feel ashamed, she hugged herself tightly, turned her face away, and made a final struggle awkwardly and strongly, "Who wants you to come here!" Don't look at me! ”

A feeble command sounds more like a plea.

"How long are you going to cry here?" Jiang Mei's eyes were cold, and her voice was also cold, she was standing here, not to see whose jokes.

Yu Lanqing is right, even if Yu Lan comes out, she will definitely not be able to get over the hurdle in her heart, someone must pull her at this time, so Jiang Mei came.

Yu Lan didn't answer her words, just hugged herself in silence like this, but it was a coincidence, when she saw Jiang Mei, it was like seeing a savior.

This place, no one wants to come, such a Yu Ronghua, no one looks down on it, although it is the grace of the emperor and queen, but the only one who really comes to see Yu Lan is Jiang Mei!

"Jiang Meiren, please do well, persuade our master, the slave has kowtowed to you." Qiaozuo knocked her head loudly, Feihua hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, and if she went down like this, everyone should be stupid.

"Don't make a mistake after the girl goes out, the palace has just been sealed a few days ago, but you have to remember it, Concubine Jing is now a virtuous concubine, in charge of the six palaces, and the masters next to her have each been promoted to the next level, and then there is the master of my family, and now she is also a nobleman." Feihua reminded him to be trivial, so as not to call the wrong position, and he would have to be beaten.

Yu Lan listened to Feihua's words, and suddenly raised her head in surprise, she looked at Jiang Mei, for a long time, and said in a trembling voice: "You... You and Zhao Li'er are both nobles?! After asking, the light in her eyes went out again, if she hadn't wanted to climb up in the first place, how could she end up like this? She has been in the cold palace for so many years, Zhao Li'er is attached to Nanhuazhu, and now one is a virtuous concubine and the other is a nobleman, which is really ridiculous.

Jiang Mei didn't shy away from speaking, she was angry when she looked at Yu Lan's self-pitying appearance, she stepped forward quickly, and with a slight pull, she pulled Yu Lan up easily, Jiang Mei frowned, why did she lose weight like this? I held it in my hand as if it had no weight.

Jiang Mei had a lot of strength, Yu Lan struggled and couldn't move, so she simply gave up and said in a dejected manner: "Look! Look at it however you want! ”

"The string of Buddhist beads given to Concubine Xian back then, is it really your hands and feet?" Jiang Mei forced Yu Lan to look at herself and asked her word by word.

Yu Lan immediately seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, and said with a fried hair: "It's not me!" I thought about asking her to carry me! How could it be me! ”

Jiang Mei raised her eyebrows: "Then if you stay here and cry here, you can wash away your grievances and catch the real murderer?" You see, they are all alive and well, no one cares about your life or death, you go out, if you are still like this, just a pity can make you worse than dead. ”

Jiang Mei's words were by no means alarmist, and Yu Lan herself knew that she was too clear, so she didn't dare to take a step.

"So what can I do?" Tears rolled down her cheeks, and Yu Lan closed her eyes weakly, "What can I do?" ”

"You just have to remember that the real master of the six palaces, only the queen mother, when you stand behind anyone else, you are killing yourself, only effectively loyal to the mother, and keeping to yourself, is the only way to live, it doesn't matter if you took the wrong road in the past, as long as from now on, you understand what kind of road you want to take, it's good." Jiang Mei let go of Yu Lan's hand and took a step back, "If you understand, wipe away your tears, follow me out, and walk around the palace with your head held high, since you are innocent, why are you afraid of strange eyes?" It's not you who should be scared, it's the real murderer. ”

Jiang Mei's words were like a shot in the arm in Yu Lan's heart.

Loyalty to the queen and keeping to oneself is the only way to live.

If Yu Lan had said this sentence a few years ago, she would not have listened to it, but now Yu Lan deeply understands that Jiang Mei can say such things to her, and she must have the heart to recruit peace.

Doesn't she want to wash away her grievances and arrest the murderer to give herself an innocence?

She thought! Day and night, every sleepless night of tossing and turning, she thought about it like crazy!

Jiang Mei is now standing in front of her, waiting for her to take a brave step under her feet.

Yu Lan took several deep breaths, and finally mustered up her strength, stepped out, and walked to Jiang Mei's side, she raised her head to see such a clear and bright blue sky, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, hooked the corners of her mouth: "Thank you, Jiang Guiren." ”

It seems to have figured it out.

Jiang Mei also lowered her eyes and smiled, and when she turned around and walked forward, her face had already returned to an indifferent expression, she took the lead and walked forward, leaving only Yu Lan a solid and reliable back, Yu Lan raised her hand to wipe away her tears, took the hand that Qiao Zuo stretched out, followed Jiang Mei's footsteps, and walked forward.

Sure enough, as Yu Lan expected, along the way, all the palace people were looking at her with strange eyes, Yu Lan knew that she was very ugly and terrifying now, but looking at Jiang Mei's back, Yu Lan finally had some comfort.

Jiang Mei didn't take Yu Lan to Fengyu Palace, she led Yu Lan around a few times, obviously walking in the direction of the Imperial Garden.

I haven't come out for a long time, these roads are familiar and unfamiliar, Yu Lan still recognizes it more or less, and after seeing where Jiang Mei is going, she can't help but slow down: "Jiang Guiren... ”

Jiang Mei looked back at her, saw Yu Lan's embarrassed face, and said coldly: "Don't you dare to go again?" ”

Yu Lan choked and lowered her eyes.

Jiang Mei snorted: "Don't dare to go, you bow to the queen mother according to the rules and thank you for your grace, just go back to your small courtyard, never come out to meet people, always be a turtle with a shrunken head, just don't come out again, it's not a big deal, anyway, the person who harmed you has been at large for so many years, and it doesn't matter if you are at ease for a few more years." ”

After speaking, Jiang Mei really didn't care about Yu Lan to move forward, Yu Lanqing had already thought about this matter, and only Jiang Mei could persuade Yu Lan.

At this time, Yu Lan didn't need gentle comfort at all, what she needed was a knife like Jiang Mei, on her neck, forcing her to remember, to accept her failure, to adapt to such a situation, to provoke the deepest pain in Yu Lan's heart, only in this way will Yu Lan move forward, only by continuing to move forward, can she get out of the darkness and see the dawn of hope.

Jiang Mei's words pulled like a knife in Yu Lan's heart, she clenched her fists, bit her lip, held back the tears that reached her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally kept up with Jiang Mei's pace.

The Imperial Garden is like spring all year round, and it is always in full bloom with different varieties of flowers, and the flowers are always so lively.

Jiang Mei knew that Zhao Lian'er and Nan Huazhu were here, she just wanted Yu Lan to overcome all her defensive lines on the first day, if she couldn't cross it, then Yu Lanqing's move would be a waste.

Zhao Li'er's whispers came from far away, and Yu Lan's body trembled when she heard it, but she still didn't stop.

Jiang Mei stopped in front of the flower garden not far in front of the pavilion, they turned their backs to Zhao Li'er and them, Jiang Mei took Yu Lan's hand, and very affectionately pointed to the flowers not far away to show her, and picked one and inserted it into Yu Lan's bun.

Zhao Li'er was smiling, looking at Jiang Mei from a distance, and it took a long time before she recognized that the woman beside Jiang Mei was Yu Lan.

This is coming out? And the face to come to the Imperial Garden?

Zhao Li'er hooked the corners of her mouth with a mocking smile, and said loudly to that party: "Jiang Guiren, why don't you come to say hello to Concubine Xian?" ”

She moved Nanhuazhu out, just as Jiang Mei wanted, she invisibly hooked the corners of her mouth, pulled Yu Lan with a panicked and embarrassed face, turned around and went straight to the pavilion.

Zhao Li'er was quite angry when she saw Yu Lan, she sighed, covered her nose and frowned, and turned her head to Nan Huazhu: "Concubine Xian, you see, if you don't look closer, the concubine really didn't recognize people, and thought that Jiang Guiren was laughing with which palace maid, and I thought when Jiang Guiren was so kind." ”

Nan Huazhu also recognized Yu Lan who hung her head and silently forbeared, she is now in a high position, looking at Yu Lan's bleak appearance, it is not good to say something in a crowded place, although she is more comfortable in her heart, but the hurdle that she can't get over is that she can't get over, so she just nodded lightly: "Yu Ronghua came out." ”

Yu Lanfu is known as yes, and when he comes here, he can't leave if he wants to.

Jiang Mei picked a place to sit down and asked Yu Lan to sit too, but she hesitated, Zhao Li'er saw Yu Lan's red and swollen fingers at a glance, and laughed: "It seems that the life of the cold palace is not very good, why are the ten fingers like shallots like this now?" Since you have come out, you have to take care of it, if you are seen by the emperor now, the emperor will definitely think that he has seen a ghost. ”

Yu Lan looked up angrily: "You... ”

The words came to her mouth, and she swallowed it back, in the past, she and Zhao Li'er were incompatible, everyone's family affairs were similar, and they were of the same position, Yu Lan was never afraid of her, but now Zhao Li'er has become a nobleman, and she has just come out of the cold palace, if she has a conflict with Zhao Li'er at this juncture, she is afraid that she will be grabbed and poked in the backbone, and after hesitation, Yu Lan still swallowed the words back.

Yu Lan's forbearance fell in Jiang Mei's eyes, but she had grown a little, and she knew what to do and what she couldn't do.

Yu Lan hid her fingers back in her sleeves, her eyes were sour and filled with tears, but she still snorted strongly, not letting the tears fall.

She has to work by herself in the cold palace, carry her own water, on a cold day, only the cold well water is used to wash clothes, there is not much firewood in winter, you have to keep it for cooking and drinking water, it can't be used for laundry, Qiaosuo is too busy alone, so Yu Lan has long learned to help, and the chilblains on her hands have been repeated, and she has never been better.

Zhao Li'er saw that Yu Lan couldn't even speak, so she was a little happier in her heart, and after she sat down, she pushed the melon and fruit pastries in front of Yu Lan again: "Eat something, Concubine Xian's things, can't you still get into your eyes?" ”

Yu Lan bit her lip and looked at Jiang Mei, she was willing to follow Jiang Mei over, just thinking that Jiang Mei could protect herself, but since Zhao Li'er was embarrassed for her just now, Jiang Mei has been silent without saying a word, at this time, feeling Yu Lan's gaze, Jiang Mei just glanced at her lightly, and said softly: "You came out today, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Eat some mats and don't go hungry. ”

They all said so, Zhao Li'er stared at herself like that, Yu Lan took a deep breath, picked up a piece in front of her and put it in her mouth, the sweet and crispy taste exploded and spread in her mouth, Yu Lan almost couldn't hold back her tears, such a good taste, she hadn't eaten it for many years.

Jiang Mei was right, she was indeed a little hungry, and when she reached out to get the second piece, she heard Zhao Li'er's mocking voice again: "Are the things in the cold palace so unpalatable?" Such a greasy pastry, you can eat two pieces without drinking water, I really admire you. ”

This is really too vicious, as a famous lady, the delicacy of clothing, food, housing and transportation has always been the proudest thing for the concubines, and being ridiculed by a concubine like Zhao Li'er for eating too much is even more uncomfortable than killing Yu Lan.

The tears in Yu Lan's eyes couldn't hold back any longer, she stood up suddenly, tears rolling down, but she still tried to make herself look calm: "Pity the nobleman, why are you so sarcastic about me?" Yes, the things in the cold palace are not delicious, and life is not easy, but now that the queen mother and the emperor have pardoned me, I am still Yu Ronghua, are you humiliating the concubines like this, do you want to slap the emperor and the queen in the face? ”

Zhao Li'er didn't expect Yu Lan to have the courage to fight back, her whole face changed, she also stood up, picked up the tea cup in front of her and splashed it on Yu Lan's face.

The tea was already cold, and Yu Lan screamed, the cold tea pressed down the collar of her clothes against her skin, and there were tea leaves on her hair and face.

Zhao Li'er looked at her coldly and said meanly: "Sarcasm you? When you assassinated the four princes of Concubine Xian in the past, you should have known that it would end like this, but now what if you come out? It's not because of your family, you owe the sin of Concubine Xian and the four princes, and you can't pay it off, just came out, and then you came to the shelf of glory again? ”

Yu Lan stared at Zhao Li'er weakly, she stood alone, so many servants in the imperial garden saw her humiliation, she might as well die.

Thinking like this, Yu Lan really looked at the pillar opposite, and was about to rush over with a broken shout, Jiang Mei stretched out his hand and dragged her, and suddenly slowed down the force, and when Yu Lan knocked on the pillar, it could only be regarded as a little pain.

Jiang Mei stepped forward to help Yu Lan up, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and patted her on the back, so that she could have a crying voice.

Zhao Li'er stared at Jiang Mei's back and narrowed her eyes: "Jiang Guiren, you shouldn't have any sympathy for this guilty person, right?" ”

The queen is no longer protecting Jiang Mei, although she is a nobleman, but Zhao Li'er is not afraid of her, not to mention that Nan Huazhu is still here, Nan Huazhu didn't say anything.

Jiang Mei ignored Zhao Lian'er, and waited for Yu Lan's mood to improve a little before she whispered to Yu Lan: "If you die, those who are looking forward to your death and are afraid of your death will be completely happy, because the truth will never be revealed to the world. ”

Jiang Mei talked about the rumors, Zhao Li'er's face changed suddenly, Luo Wenyin told Jiang Mei that after so many years, she still remembered?

"Jiang Guiren, you don't bewitch the crowd here, Yu Ronghua collided with Concubine Xian, don't drag it down quickly, slap your mouth fiercely!" Zhao Li'er is Nan Huazhu's mouth, all Nan Huazhu can't say, what is not easy to say, Zhao Li'er will say and do, Nan Huazhu is bent on teaching Yu Lan a lesson, now that she has encountered it, Zhao Li'er naturally wants to make it difficult, and Nan Huazhu's silence is equivalent to acquiescence.

Jiang Mei turned around with a contemptuous smile, and slapped Zhao Li'er in the face with a crisp and neat slap: "I didn't know that you were in charge of the harem." ”

Zhao Li'er was stunned, and looked incredulous: "You hit me?!" ”

Jiang Mei raised his eyebrows, and even a kind of chin: "Yes, it's you who hit you, what's wrong?" ”
