It's been three days, Zhou Shuxuan should go to court, he should rest and rest, as if nothing happened, and he behaved very calmly.

All the people who should be locked up are locked up, and he doesn't want to see any of them now. Seeing them only upsets him, and now he can pretend to be the same as before.

It's one thing on the surface, it's another thing in reality. After reading a few books, I couldn't stand it, and I threw the folds aside in annoyance, no matter how much I pretended to be self-deceptive

Whether he likes to admit it or not, it did have a huge impact on his life, and some things were completely turned upside down.

Xiang calmed down and thought about things, but heard someone muttering in his ear. When I looked back, I saw that it was Mama Xi talking to Gao Fu.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Shu asked.

Something terrible began to be said around him, and he didn't dare to say it loudly, which made him habitually worried

Xi Mama knelt down and said, "Back to the emperor, the slave wants to ask Grandpa Gao for a favor." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The slave saw that there was a vegetable Buddha jumping over the wall in the emperor's lunch, and the emperor didn't use a few bites, and the slave and maid wanted to beg to give the dish to the slave and maid. This matter is a bit unruly, so I don't dare to speak out, and ask the emperor to punish him. ”

It's not a big deal, he thought it was, and Bai was worried. However, Mama Xi has always been steady, and she will not know that she is not in accordance with the rules and still does this.

"I know you're not a glutton, why do you do that?"

The slave maid remembered that the Queen Mother liked this dish the most, but the workmanship of this dish was complicated and cumbersome, and ordinary mothers couldn't eat it, let alone the Queen Mother, who was not favored at that time. And the servants in the palace have always stepped on the low and praised the high, and they dare to deduct the general food, and they dare not think of the expensive dishes. However, sometimes the imperial dining room would be made for the emperor, and the emperor did not like the seafood very much, and often did not move a mouthful. The slaves and maids used to often come to beg the people around the emperor, wanting the queen mother to be satisfied with food. When the slave saw that dish today, she remembered the Queen Mother, and her heart was a little sad. ”

He speaks of the past, but for the sake of the present.

Obviously said irrelevant words, Zhou Shuxuan had a string in his heart as if it had been plucked.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced down and said: "Thinking of your loyalty, I will give you a special case, what you want to eat in the future will be directly made by the imperial dining room, and you don't have to ask for help." Let's go down. ”

Mama Xi stood up and walked out, I don't know if he understood. Now no one in the palace is allowed to mention Miaoli's matter, and mentioning it is a dead end. But they were so worried about Miaoli, they were locked up there alone, and they didn't know how they were doing. The body is not very good, and it has finally improved a little, and it is over if it is not well maintained.

The emperor is really ruthless, no one has taken care of her for so long, and he really treats her as a concubine in the cold palace. Even the cold palace of the first emperor is accompanied by several people, and Mama Xi is really worried that Miaoli is dead, and no one outside knows about it.

Xiaohong waited outside anxiously, and when she saw her coming out, she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Mama, how is it?" ”

Mama Xi shook her head, "I can't guess the emperor's thoughts, if it doesn't work, I can only ask Concubine Yi, she may be able to say a few words." ”

Xiaohong only hated that she didn't work hard at that time, and she was desperately with Miaoli, no matter how she took care of each other, and she wouldn't be in a hurry like now.

Mama Xi left for a while, and Zhou Shuxuan called Gao Fu, "You let people go and see what they send to Qingquan Palace every day." ”

He can't do it completely without worrying, feelings are always there. He liked her as much as he was disappointed.

I remember that when he was a child, he still lived in Qingquan Palace, and he ate fried vegetables every day, boiled vegetables, occasionally two pieces of tofu, and he could eat scrambled eggs once in two or three days, and he could only see a little meat during the New Year's Festival. Later, it was because the emperor suddenly remembered that he was also a prince, so he was not so harsh on the diet of Qingquan Palace.

How could she stand such a day, when she finally grew a little flesh out, and she couldn't go back to the days when the wind blew and she could run.

Soon Gao Fu came back, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "Back to the emperor, it seems that no one has sent food over in the past three days." ”

Zhou Shuxuan quickly raised his head and stared at him with deathly eyes, "What did you say?!" ”

Gao Fu was cold, and he knelt on the ground, "The slave deserves to die, the slave is derelict in his duties." ”

He bears the name of the head of Ouchi, and what happens is his problem.

Zhou Shuxuan raised his leg with a kick, "What's the use of confessing now, don't let people send food over immediately." Arrange for a few more people to serve her, and all the people who served her before will go back. Just go! ”

Gao Fu stood up and ran out, afraid that he would lose his life if he was slow.

Zhou Shuxuan stood up and wanted to run out like him to see how Miao Li was doing, he didn't eat or drink for three days, even if he was beaten with iron, he couldn't stand it. I almost crossed the threshold and retracted my footsteps, but I can't do that. His heart was messed up so quickly, so that he had no face.

When Mama Xi and Xiaohong received the news, they couldn't care about anything, so they took the baggage they had packed up earlier and ran away.

In the most well-behaved place in the world, where everyone follows the rules, the two of them didn't pay attention to their manners at all, and ran all the way to the gate of Qingquan Palace, and couldn't wait to open the gate. Seeing that Miaoli was still standing alive, her heart relaxed.

Miao Li simply tied her hair, and her clothes were covered with dust. His eyes were red and swollen, and he was full of haggardness. Holding a broken cup in his hand, he stared at them blankly. Where is there still half a point of the previous demeanor, I don't know how she spent the past three days.

"Mother...... "Xiaohong covered her mouth and shouted.

Miao Li seemed to be frightened, and with a shake of her hand, the cup fell to the ground, shattering on the spot, and all the water in it was spilled. Miao Li squatted down and stared at the water, pity and distress, she wanted to cry but couldn't.

When Mama Xi saw this scene, she couldn't help it, and squatted down and asked, "Niangniang, it's just a broken cup, it's worthless." ”

Miao Li's voice floated and said, "I have only received a little dew since the sky has not yet risen, and I am really thirsty." ”

For three days, no one in this palace seemed to care about her life and death, not to imprison her here, but to trap her here.

Xiaohong wiped her tears and ran out to find water for her, but she couldn't say a word.

"The emperor has already asked someone to bring food over, and the mother will bear with it a little longer, and it will be fine soon." Mama Xi secretly wiped her tears while helping her stand up, she was too old to see such a tragic situation. She thought that the worst thing she could do was to bring some leftovers, but she didn't expect it to be like this

I used to hold it in my hand as a treasure, but now I don't even care about life and death. Didn't the emperor think about these things? How favored she was before, how many people want to take the opportunity to kill her now, so as to prevent future troubles.

Miaoli took advantage of her standing up, and finally stood firmly, only to feel dizzy in front of her, and to stabilize her mind to make herself sober, but she didn't have the strength to speak.

After taking a few steps inside, Xiaohong came back cautiously with a glass of water and hurriedly handed it to Miaoli.

Miaoli couldn't wait to take it and drink it up, the water flowed all the way to her stomach, she felt that she was alive again, but she still felt hungry in her stomach, and everything she saw seemed to be food.

Xiaohong comforted her with a thick cry, "The people who delivered the food will come over soon, I saw them just now." ”

Miao Li tried her best to endure her physical discomfort, touched the stool on the side and sat down, a little energetic, a little lacking in strength and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"The emperor finally found out in his conscience, let us come and serve, let you suffer for so long." Xiaohong's voice trembled, enduring the discomfort in her heart, and she didn't pay so much attention to what she said.

Miaoli nodded slightly, indicating that she knew, and tried not to speak if she could.

Now she doesn't have the energy to think about things, so naturally she doesn't care if it's a conscience discovery.

I've been tormented by hunger for the past few days, and I feel that I'm no different from animals, and I can't care about any love and love. I wanted to commit suicide several times, but there was an inexplicable desire to survive in my heart, I don't know if it was brainwashed by Jiebizhi's words or what the reason was, she just wanted to live.

At first, when I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, I grabbed the weeds on the ground and looked at them, chewed them, and swallowed them raw. The cold palace floor was covered with stone bricks, blocking the soil of life, only a few weeds in the cracks of the bricks, and there was no difference between eating and not eating.

But she wanted to live, very, very much. But no one in this huge palace seemed to want to live, and when she knocked on the door, all she responded to was the sound of the lock shaking. There seemed to be no one guarding her outside, and no one passing by, and no one would come to save her.

If she was outside, some people might still think she was pitiful and give her a leftover steamed bun, but no one in the palace would pity her. In addition to the people who want her to die, there are people who are afraid of being involved in her trouble.

In the empty courtyard, beyond her, there was only overwhelming despair.

She rummaged through the entire Qingquan Palace, trying to find something to eat, even moldy pastries, but found nothing, so she could only sit on the steps and cry in embarrassment. There is no decency, there is only animal instinct at the moment of life and death, and what kind of human decency can be talked about.

When she was woken up in the middle of the night by hunger, she realized that love is not a necessity of life, food is. In just two days, she didn't want to remember what that person looked like.

There are so many ways to die, but they gave her such an unbearable one, torturing her to death. Maybe there was someone staring at her in a place she hadn't noticed, taking in all her pain.

It's like he's going to put as much pain on her as she gives him.

Soon the meal came, Miao Li gobbled up a few bowls of porridge, and wanted to eat again, but was held down by Mama Xi, and forced the chopsticks out of her hand. "Mother, I can't eat anymore."

If you don't eat for a long time, you will not be able to stand it if you suddenly eat too much.

Miao Li hugged her and cried bitterly, "But I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm really hungry." ”
