Because the palace slaves disappeared in large numbers, it would not be only one or two people who noticed: a sentence was no longer in the palace, but it did not directly say that those palace slaves died.

If you don't say the wrong thing, it's your business to hear what you think; No one cares what you think, but if you say what you think, it may be a disaster. The girl's words clearly told Hongluan not to cause trouble, let alone implicate her.

Hongluan sat in a daze for a long time, then slowly got up and walked to the table, poured three or four cups of cold water together, and poured them all into his stomach, only to feel that his breathing was somewhat smooth.

In order to regain her freedom, she had to enter the palace as a slave, thinking that after a few years of grace in the palace, she could become a commoner again, leaving the palace and living again; Being a palace slave, a little harder and a little tired, she can endure it and persevere, just because she wants to live.

But on the first day she entered the palace, she learned that not one of the ten palace slaves would leave alive, and she was almost about to fall on the earthen kang; Putting the cup on the table heavily, Hongluan wiped the water stains on the corner of her mouth fiercely: No, she can't just give up, she must live.

In front of her, her parents pushed her to the boulder, but she was swept away by the water, and finally hugged the big tree and climbed up, but she only had time to say a word, and was hit by the waves and washed away without a trace; Before drowning, her parents said to her: Nothing is more important than your life, to live!

Hongluan clenched her hand: even if only one of the hundred palace slaves can leave the palace alive, she will be that person.

"Your name is Hongluan, isn't it?" The older palace slave walked over: "What's the matter, isn't it——? Her eyes swept to the big girl, but she didn't hear what Hongluan and the big girl said just now.

Hongluan smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm very thirsty." She handed the pot over: "Sister Jane, right?" You're thirsty, drink. "As the big girl said, talk less - Aunt Hua said this, and the big girl said the same, of course she wouldn't talk nonsense.

Liu Zhen didn't think too much, she was so thirsty that she took the pot and drank three glasses of water in a row: "Xiu'er, can you come over and drink some too?" ”

Liu Xiu raised herself from the kang: "Sister, I don't want to move, you can bring it to me." ”

Liu Zhen glared at her, but still took the pot and watched Liu Xiu finish drinking the water.

The big girl didn't lift her embroidered head, only when Liu Xiu was about to drink water on the bed, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't speak.

Hongluan noticed the frowning brows of the eldest girl, and after thinking about it, she understood what she meant: everyone entered the palace as slaves, if Liu Xiu still regarded herself as a little sister, and most of the things depended on Liu Zhen, the two sisters were afraid that they would die faster.

But how do you say this to Sister Liu Zhen? Hongluan also lowered his head, and did not remind Liu Zhen and Liu Xiu, only hoping that Liu Xiu would understand after the business trip tomorrow.

After a while, someone called them to get food, and the big girl stood up suddenly, threw down the embroidery work in her hand and rushed out, and her speed frightened Hongluan and Liu Zhen sisters.

Liu Xiu patted her chest: "Sister, can you help me get food?" I'm too tired to move, and you're going to get food anyway. ”

Liu glared at her again, but still agreed.

Hongluan sighed in her heart, and went out with Liu Zhen to get food, and couldn't help but whisper: "You, are you sisters?" ”

"No, cousin; The grandfathers of the two of us were brothers. Liu Zhen smiled softly: "But there are few people in our family, so we are very close; Sister Jane has liked to stick to me since she was a child, and if it weren't for the ...... of the old people in the family, we wouldn't have entered the palace. Her voice fell.

Hongluan didn't know how to comfort her, and after hearing her say this, she didn't know how to mention her, and in the end she could only keep her mouth shut: there are still old sayings that come out of the palace to the mouth, let alone in this terrible palace.

Yes, Hongluan's first day in the palace only had the word "terrible" for the court.

The meals are extremely simple, one nest and one soup; The soup was really a soup, and although the soup was cloudy as if it had been cooked, not to mention the soup in the bowl, even the soup in the bucket could not see a few leaves, radishes, or anything.

Hongluan didn't think much about it, and went back to the room after receiving the meal; When she returned to the room, the big girl was already eating, and there were a few radish strips in the big girl's bowl - Hongluan understood why the big girl ran so fast.

Just for a few radish strips, is it worth it?

The big girl glanced at Hongluan: "Two." ”

"Huh?" Hongluan didn't react for a while.

The big girl said lightly: "There are only two radish strips." As for the rest, you will know later. She ate slowly, very carefully, chewing each bite for a long time before swallowing; Even those two radish strips, she ate them in two parts.

Hongluan doesn't quite understand, but that's someone else's business, maybe the big girl is used to eating like this? She stopped looking at the big girl, picked up the nest head and took a big bite down, and the nest head was almost half missing. This is a habit she developed after being a beggar, and the food she gets is only her own when she puts it in her stomach.

Liu Xiu still ate on the kang, and Liu Zhen, Hongluan, and the big girl were all sitting at the table; The two sisters eat a lot more than Hongluan's gobbling, but it's still much faster than the big girl.

"Sister Hongluan, it's better for you to eat slowly." When the girl saw that after Hongluan took another bite, there was not much left in the nest in her hand, and at most it was only the weight of one mouthful, she couldn't help but say a word.

Hongluan looked at the nest head, and then at the big girl, although she didn't understand why she said this, but she still nodded honestly: For the words of the seniors, everything that can be done must be done; It is also the truth that she understood when she was a beggar.

The big girl didn't expect Hongluan to be so teachable, nodded at her and continued to eat, without any intention of explaining why Hongluan was allowed to eat more slowly.

Hongluan didn't ask, she chewed and chewed the nest in her mouth like a big girl, and then chewed the last remaining nest head and soup in her hand very carefully: she finished eating a little later than Liu Zhen.

Of course, it was the big girl who ate at the end, she put away her dishes and chopsticks and said, "Let's go, let's send it out." ”

At night, Hongluan lay on the earthen kang, looking at the girl who was still embroidering under the lamp, staring at her skinny body and couldn't sleep, the fear in her heart made her stand up in the quilt, but she still couldn't feel a trace of warmth.

She knew that it was not so easy to get out of the palace, even if she had those things of the Shi family in her hands, it would not be enough to leave the palace; Thinking about her heart, the more she thought about it, the more sleepy she became, and she thought that the Yellow Palace maid didn't want to take her jacket, and she had to make up for it: she couldn't do it too obviously, too revealing her wealth, and she had to be able to win the favor of the Yellow Palace Maid.

When Hongluan was worried about not knowing what to use, she heard the sound of crying; She looked up in surprise, but saw Liu Xiu lying down, crying sadly.

Liu Zhen looked back: "My sister is homesick, I'm sorry." ”

Hongluan was about to say, "It doesn't matter, it's inevitable that you'll be homesick on the first day", but the door was kicked open! Hongluan swallowed her words back in shock, and watched the Yellow Palace Maid walk in with two palace slaves, her heart was suddenly raised very high: No, the Yellow Palace Maid is just for a jacket?
