Chapter 54: The Lady of the Cold Palace
After returning to the room, Chu Li was already thinking about other things, and he couldn't fall asleep for a while.
Especially in the second half of the night, the voice of the woman in the cold palace is even more poignant, and people who don't sleep may not feel anything, and in the dead of night like this, they can hear it more and more clearly.
Chu Li's dark eyes turned back and forth, and he always felt uneasy.
In the end, she decided to find out, anyway, she has the aura of the protagonist, and she can't die, at most she will be scared, otherwise she will stay here every day, and she may suffocate to death before she can be saved.
She tiptoed open the door, probably thinking that Chu Li would not go to the cold palace, there were no guards guarding here, but there were people watching outside, otherwise she would have run out at night.
"Ah......h
It's just a meaningless scale, Chu Li was panicked when he heard it at first, but after listening to it for a long time, it was okay, and he slowly walked to the edge of the cold palace, and the sound inside became clearer.
It was not as terrifying as imagined, it was an abandoned palace that no one cleaned, it was full of fallen leaves, there were no female ghosts in red, and there was an unkempt ragged woman sitting next to the patio.
By the moonlight, you can see the appearance of your face.
When I got closer, I found that the woman was not just wailing, she was crying, but the crying was very loud, and Chu Li thought it was harmless.
When she got closer, the woman turned around suddenly, and her blind eyes made Chu Li scream in fright.
"it!"
The woman hears the voice and tilts her head to the side, as if to discern the source of the sound.
"Who?"
The voice is hoarse, somewhat unlike a woman's voice.
Chu Li was stunned for five seconds before he shuddered and said, "I, who lives next door, am also imprisoned." She swallowed to herself, she shouldn't have come.
The woman chuckled and stopped crying, and the atmosphere between the two men fell silent.
Chu Li thought about how to speak, whether to say hello or to say hello.
"That...... I was held hostage, so I ...... Just heard your ...... Singing, well, singing, I just want to come and see, it won't bother you, right? ”
After Chu Li finished speaking, he pinched his mouth fiercely, what is this talking about, isn't it easier to provoke her.
"Taken hostage? Oh, which woman in the palace was voluntary, who were you imprisoned and who is the king now? I've been in for more than ten years, is County Y dead? ”
Chu Li was very embarrassed, but fortunately she couldn't see it, who was Meng County?
"I've just been caught, I don't know who you're talking about? I should have been held hostage by the Nine Emperor Princes, and I don't know about the rest. ”
"Lao Xiaojiu, it should be Xu'er, when he was a child, he also begged me for candy, but I didn't expect that when I was so old, I knew that the girl had come to the palace."
Chu Li swallowed his saliva, feeling that this woman was not so terrible, but she looked a little ugly with a pair of blind eyes, and her whole face could still be vaguely seen that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.
"My name is Chu Li, dare to ask Niangniang ......"
"Song Li, separated Li."
Chu Li's eyes widened, hey, hey, it was still the same name.
"That's the concubine Niangniang...... Chu Li didn't finish speaking, but she interrupted him, "I'm in such a situation, where is there still a concubine Niangniang, you can call me casually, the palace maids call me blind, you also call me blind." ”
Chu Li's heart tightened, feeling very uncomfortable, before, she must have been surrounded by many palace maids and guards, but now she has fallen to this point.
"Then I'll call you Aunt Song."
lest he call the concubine and arouse her sadness.
"It's hard for you to not sleep at night, why are you tired? I still want to be Xiaojiu, you can tell my old wife, I haven't spoken to anyone for more than ten days. ”
Chu Li was taken aback, ten days, what did she eat?
Turning her head, there was a pile of leftovers in the corner of the wall, and from here to there on the stone bench, there was a long trace, which should have been dragged back and forth by her.
"Don't worry, Meng County didn't die, and I won't die either."
Chu Li asked timidly, "Dare to ask who is Meng County?" ”
"The king of Wu." Song Li snorted coldly, "You said that Xiao Jiu is still the prince, then it means that he is not dead, not dead, it's good!" ”
Song Li gritted his teeth, and Chu Li sighed when he saw it, this woman should have been in love with King Wu and his wife before, but now she has become like this, which is really regrettable.
"Your name is Chu Li, we are still destined, it's almost dawn, aren't you going to leave, I'm unlucky here, and if someone else knows, will I punish you?"
"No one will punish me, I can't hide it, I was caught in the palace, so it's the same everywhere."
Somehow, it made Chu Li feel a sense of sympathy.
Song Li asked, "Seeing that you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you should also have something on your mind, you might as well tell me, how did you provoke Duan Xu, it's been more than ten years, I don't know what kind of character he has now, there is no one else here." ”
Chu Li said that he was originally from Xiao Guoyu City, but because he offered a plan to defeat Wu Jun, he was arrested by Duan Xu thinking that he was a powerful person, and now the attendant next to her is unknown, and she can't get out.
Song Li thought for a while, and then slowly asked, "Are you from Xiao Guo?" ”
"Yes, Aunt Song won't worry about me because of this, I am a member of the Chu family of Xiao Guo, I came out of a small concubine, I was not pampered, and later married into the palace as a dowry girl, and I have never been looked at by His Royal Highness."
When Chu Li talked about her life experience, even she felt that it was too miserable, and people who often sympathized with the same illness were more likely to resonate.
Sure enough, Song Li just froze for Xiao Guo's identity, and then shook his head.
"After more than ten years, I didn't expect Meng County to start attacking other countries now, I knew that he would not be the kind of benevolent emperor he looked, but he just took pity on the subjects of Wu State."
"Aunt Song doesn't mind me?"
"What's there to mind about this, you don't mind that I'm blind, the palace maids in the palace are all from Wu, but which one has treated me like this, so, it's all the same."
Chu Li nodded, although Song Li was blind, he could still see clearly.
The two of them chatted until dawn before they knew it.
Chu Li yawned, a little sleepy, Song Li said to her, "Go back and rest early, and talk about it later when you have a chance." ”
Chu Li didn't stay long, he sat for a night, his butt was numb, "Auntie, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you later." ”
As soon as Chu Li returned to the room, Yun'er came in crying, knelt down, and wailed loudly, "Miss, I thought you lost it." ”
Chu Li pulled her up and rolled his eyes, "Don't cry, I'm not here well, good ha." ”
"I just came to look for Miss, why didn't I see you?"
"Did you happen to go out, okay, okay, I didn't lose it, I didn't run, don't worry, I'll sleep first, get up and call you."
Chu Li pushed Yun'er out, she didn't sleep all night and was sleepy, she was injured all night, and Yun'er was left scratching her head outside the door, didn't she just wake up? Why do you have to sleep again?
