Chapter 908: Not Being an Adult
Liu Xiu's eyes were a little stupid, and he glanced at Concubine Hui and the others and walked forward with straight eyes, but he didn't see Da Niu and Chun'er at all; She walked a few steps to the edge of the flower bed and began to pull the weeds, pulling them one by one with her hands, and put them next to her. Just as the big girl and Chun'er retracted their gaze, Liu Xiulai came in the direction of a few more people, and they saw their acquaintance again: Liu Zhen.
The person who came was also an old palace concubine, Liu Zhen crawled on all fours with a rope tied to her neck, crawling crookedly and unable to keep up with the footsteps of the old palace concubine, and was whipped one or two from time to time. The old palace concubine didn't seem to see Concubine Hui and the others, so she walked straight to Liu Xiu and saw the grass next to the flower bed, and patted her head with a whip: "Very good, it's really a good dog in this palace; Someone came, and gave the dog a bone and a pot of soup. Then she pulled Liu Zhen again: "Eat, it's better to sell you a new dress if you eat fat earlier." ”
The eldest girl and Chun'er could barely stand up, and involuntarily took a few steps back while shaking their bodies, watching Liu Zhen lie on the ground and bow her head to graze, while Liu Xiu also went to pick up the bones thrown by the palace people on all fours, and then brought the bones back and put them at the feet of the old palace concubine, and lay down beside her and did not move; The so-called soup is a pot of foul-smelling things, Liu Xiu was reluctant to eat it, and was beaten a few times by the old palace concubine.
In this cold palace, there is no normal big girl and Chun'er's face is as white as a ghost, and they clenched their teeth tightly and didn't call out; They just want to get out of here now, and they never want to come back to this place. Originally, they thought that as long as they were not afraid of death, there was nothing to be afraid of, so neither of them gave up looking for Hongluan to take revenge in their hearts, but now they know that there is really nothing to be afraid of death, and the terrible thing is to live in the cold palace.
The two of them retreated and retreated among the palace concubines, which naturally attracted people's attention, and finally let Liu Xiu and Liu Zhen, who drank stinky soup, see them; But Liu Zhen continued to eat grass after taking a look, her eyes were dull, and even with a satisfied smile, so that the big girl couldn't help but cover her mouth.
And Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly jumped up and ran to the big girl and Chun'er, pulling their skirts and not letting go: "Help me, help me, I originally said that there should be hardships and blessings to share; This is not a place for people to stay, if it goes on like this, it is better to die, you can save me......" But before she finished her words, she was whipped by the old palace concubine.
The old palace concubine beat her headlessly, and only stopped until she was out of breath and smiled slightly at the big girl and Chun'er, and smiled very peacefully: "It's the palace that raises dogs, and the beasts don't know the rules, how about the two of you let her go?" ”
Liu Xiu suddenly burst into tears in fright: "Say don't blame me, say it quickly." Otherwise I'd be killed, and that's how the last dog was killed. She was so frightened that she was incontinent, which showed that what she said was true and definitely not false.
The eldest girl and Chun'er screamed in fright and turned around and ran, but the skirts were still in Liu Xiu's hands, and they fell to the ground together, but they didn't forget to crawl forward: "We want to go back, we have to go back now." "What revenge, what resentment, it doesn't matter now, as long as they can live and return to their own residence, they can live a peaceful life and have nothing to ask for.
The old palace concubine over there suddenly had a big seizure, the tea cup and saucer fell to the ground a lot, and suddenly picked up a piece of longer broken porcelain and stabbed it into Liu Xiu's strands: "What are you doing with you if you are disobedient?" You give Hongu to die, to die. It's not the palace's fault, the emperor, it's a dog, it's just a beast. After she finished stabbing her, she sat down on the ground and cried louder than Liu Xiu's voice.
Concubine Hui and the others were already so frightened that they hid far away, and when they saw the old palace concubine pulling out the broken porcelain, they all exclaimed, and a beauty fainted on the spot; And the old palace concubine kept stabbing Liu Xiu's body with the broken porcelain: "Let the palace kill the dog with your own hands, and the palace will kill it with your own hands, and the palace will kill it." ”
The manager of the cold palace rescued the big girl and Chun'er: "Don't blame her, she originally had a dog and loved her like a child, but I don't know why she killed the dog with her own hands, and she was so crazy after coming to the cold palace; Usually there is nothing, just the dress of the 'dog' who grabs people, and she will attack madness and stab the 'dog', and sometimes accidentally kill the 'dog'. ”
The eldest girl and Chun'er were covered in ice, and their lips trembled and said, "Aren't those palace people too pitiful?" There is a ...... in the palace rules"
"Don't pity the dogs and sheep." A sneer flashed on the lips of the head of the cold palace: "They were originally guilty, and they should all be executed by Ling Chi, so they were sent here to hand over to the old palace concubine, so that she can be quiet and quiet in her usual times; The immortality of the 'dog' is also its creation, and death can only be said to be deserved. ”
Chun'er suddenly screamed: "No, no, I don't dare, I know it's wrong, I don't dare, I know it's wrong." She repeated these two sentences because she was frightened.
When she and Da Niu became palace concubines, they could no longer find the Liu Xiu sisters, although they also asked but no one told them, but they didn't expect to be sent here by the Empress Dowager. Yuan Hua and the Empress Dowager's plan failed, and it was really not the Liu Xiu sisters who were at fault: they could have done it in secret, but how could Hongluan's plan be a step higher to blame the two sisters? But the Empress Dowager was angry and sent the two to the cold palace as criminal slaves, and they could no longer be adults.
When Liu Er heard Chun'er's cry, she called two little eunuchs to come forward and pull her to the side hall, and Chun'er stopped screaming after a while; And the big girl was even more suspicious, and reluctantly kept herself from screaming.
Concubine Hui was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a long time, and it wasn't until the chief steward invited the old palace concubine away and washed the blood on the ground that she recovered some of her spirits; immediately ordered: "Announce the decree, quickly, let the emperor and concubine receive the decree." "She doesn't want to stay in the cold palace for a moment, God knows what kind of cold palace concubines will come out.
The Empress Dowager was led to kneel down in front of the incense table, and when she saw Concubine Hui's holy decree, she suddenly shouted: "The mourning family says everything, says everything, just beg not to leave the mourning family in the cold palace again." "It's hard for her to kill herself here, she is covered in injuries, and she doesn't have the strength to kill herself.
Concubine Hui was so frightened by her sudden scream that she fell to the ground, and after being helped up by Liu Er and Xing'er, she relied on their support to read the holy decree; The gist of the decree is: If the imperial concubine has something to say to the emperor, she can face the saint; If nothing happens, ask her to spend her days in the cold palace.
The Empress Dowager threw herself on the incense table, knocked the incense burner to the ground and reached out to pull Concubine Hui's dress: she was really fed up in the cold palace, even if she died, she didn't want to die in the cold palace, and the meat was bitten off one by one to make it into food; The old palace concubines who came to her every day to find trouble were not there, and she gradually calmed down her emotions and recognized Concubine Hui - if the old palace concubine who made meatloaf was still there, she would not care about other people, and she only wanted to prevent the old palace concubine from coming to bite her.
After recognizing Concubine Hui, she still hesitated, and her frightened and numb head finally turned when she saw the holy decree that came out, knowing that this was her only chance to leave the cold palace: she was still useful to the emperor, and it should be okay to say those things in exchange for her not to come to this terrible place again, right? There are many mistakes, even if she dies, she should not return to the cold palace.
Now there is nothing more important than leaving this ghost place, she doesn't care about any Shangguan family or any major affairs of the country, she can pay whatever price she pays if she leaves here.
Concubine Hui was so frightened by her that she screamed, broke away from Liu'er and Xing'er, and ran away: "Someone, someone, drive back to the palace." After the decree is announced, the main palace is going back, go back. Her mind could no longer move, and she had not remembered a word of the decree even after reading it, and she had no idea what the decree was saying.
Fang Zhaorong and the others hurriedly followed and headed towards the gate, and everyone shouted: "Open the door, open the door." ”
Liu Er and Xing'er glanced at each other and pulled the imperial concubine up: "Have you thought about it?" If you think about what to say, then the slave maid will take you out to see the emperor, if you don't think about it, the slave and maid will come to see you again in a few days. ”
"Think about it, think about it. I say everything, I say everything. "The Empress Dowager didn't want to stay any longer, and she finally looked forward to the opportunity to be born again, how could she let it go easily.
Liu Er and Xing'er let people come over and help her and walk towards the gate of the cold palace together, and the manager rushed over to open the door when they came: "The little one went to appease the masters, and was awakened by the cry of the imperial concubine, and the little one was afraid that they would surprise the masters again when they came out, so they rushed over after appeasing them, so they made the ladies wait for a long time." ”
"Nothing." Liu Er and Xing'er glanced back at the cold palace and said lightly: "There are people of all generations who come here, come over early and have a number in your heart, so that you can know how to go in the future." For example, our sisters will take Sister Liu Xiu as a warning, and never be reduced to a slave of sin. As they spoke, their eyes turned to the faces of the big girl and Chun'er.
The faces of the eldest girl and Chun'er turned white again, and Chun'er shook her head again and again: "I will take it as a warning, I will say anything, I don't want to come here." "She's still shaking her body, and the big girl is not much better than her.
They are different from Fang Zhaorong and the others, because they have long had a grudge with Hongluan, and later took refuge in the Empress Dowager and Shangguan's family, they really had to murder Hongluan: if Hongluan really had to settle accounts with them, it would not be difficult to get them to the cold palace. Don't say it's them, even the Queen Mother has become a ghost when she enters the cold palace? When they come, they will only be like the Liu Xiu sisters.
Xing'er seemed to guess the thoughts of Da Niu and Chun'er, and she grinned: "Actually, people don't know pain when they're crazy, right?" There are many words that make no mistake and ask me to see that Liu Zhen's life is much better than Liu Xiu's, if Liu Zhen's place, this place is not so terrible, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Concubine Hui and the others' faces have changed, and now they don't understand the meaning of Hongluan, they have been in the palace for so long in vain; Of course, there are some people who are unwilling, but no one has the courage to look back at the cold palace again.
Happy Christmas Eve to all of you
