Hearing Princess Xianning reciting this Zhu Shuzhen's "Falling Flowers", the dying woman's eyes actually shot a little light, she pounced forward, grabbed the corner of Princess Xianning's skirt, and looked at her longingly, "It's him, it's him who called the princess, you came to save me, didn't you?" โ€

Princess Xianning knew that the ginseng tea that Xiangzhu fed her just now had an effect, and looked at the woman, a flash of pity flashed in her eyes, "Yes, he said that he asked you to answer a few questions from me, so he took you out and got together with him." โ€

The woman laughed, "I know, I knew he was going to come and save my ......"

The old and dirty face turned out to be a little bright and vivid because of this smile.

This woman must have been quite beautiful when she was young. Because of her smile, this thought flashed through Sun Qingyang's mind.

Although, the face in front of him doesn't seem to have anything to do with the posture.

"What do you want to know? Tell me quickly, he can't wait to see me, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and he must miss me as much as I miss him. Leaning back on the door frame, the woman's face showed a girlish shyness, which made people feel weird and sad.

Princess Xianning squatted down and looked at her, "Why did you poison Little Princess Yuxue?" You know, he doesn't like vicious women. โ€

The woman shook her head desperately, "No, it's not me, I didn't kill Yuxue, it's Wang Yuerong, it's her, she told me to do that, she told me to poison me." โ€

Wang Yuerong, Wang Guifei?

Sun Qingyang was taken aback, but Princess Xianning was not surprised, as if she had already known this answer.

Princess Xianning knew that this woman's qi was all carried by ginseng tea, and she couldn't support it for long, so she didn't say too much, and asked directly, "Why does she want you to attack Yuxue?" โ€

"Yuxue saw that she shouldn't have seen it, she and Ji Gang, and Ji Gang......" The woman began to gasp for breath.

"Ji Gang?" Hearing this name, Sun Qingyang was even more taken aback, thought about it, and felt suddenly realized, "No wonder, she would go to great lengths to take Yuxue's life." โ€

Thinking of what Ji Gang said on the day he kidnapped her and let her go, "I owe her a lot, how can I affect her again", and then thought of the relevant details of that day, Sun Qingyang suddenly thought of the palace where he was blindfolded that night was Yong'an Palace.

Princess Xianning asked again and again, not allowing the woman to hesitate, "Then, why did she let you fall into such a field?" Aren't you her most trusted palace person? Aren't you like a sister to her? โ€

The woman laughed miserably, "She? Good sisters? She longed for me to die, no, if she hadn't thought I was dead, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay here......"

From the woman's intermittent narration of having to drink a few sips of ginseng tea from time to time to continue to breathe, they pieced together what happened back then.

The woman in the cold palace, named Dang Guiqiu, was the maid of the noble concubine Wang Yuerong back then.

In the autumn of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, fifteen years old, the innocent, youthful, beautiful and gentle Wang Yuerong married Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan at the time, as her only dowry maid, Dang Guiqiu, who was only thirteen years old, and she were like sisters.

They made a pact with each other to take care of each other. In order to prevent Dang Guiqiu from leaving her and leaving the palace at the age of eighteen, Wang Yuerong promised that when she became the master of the first palace, she would choose a good husband for Dang Guiqiu and let her be the wife of the palace.

For the sake of affection and a bright future, Dang Guiqiu agreed, and according to the age of the palace maids leaving the palace, he helped Wang Yuerong to the age of twenty-five.

Therefore, in the lonely deep palace, she spared no effort to help Wang Yuerong gain Zhu Di's mercy and rise to the top. even, did a lot of things for her that she couldn't see.

From the palace of Yan Wang to the inner courtyard of the palace, Wang Yuerong has always been demure and gentle, respectful, she is indifferent, humble, never involved in the harem of the warblers and Yanyan to compete for favor and ruthless things, no matter what to do, they are serious and meticulous, so that Princess Yan, the later queen Xu Yihua admired her, thinking that she was a person, practical and reliable, and from time to time let her help deal with some trivial matters in the harem, every time, she was able to make Xu Yihua satisfied with the completion.

Therefore, although her appearance is not very outstanding in the palace with beautiful women, Wang Yuerong still has her own past, and because of Xu Yihua's appreciation, she won the favor of Emperor Yongle, and even was named a concubine in Yongle for six years together with the sister of the British princess, Zhang Xian.

Wang Yuerong became a concubine, and Dang Guiqiu, who was already twenty-four years old, naturally asked her to fulfill the promise she made to herself back then, after all, she had been stumbling for so many years, and the best years of her youth were spent with Wang Yuerong, and she spared no effort to help her and help her, and she deserved to be rewarded.

Wang Yuerong agreed, and said that the husband she chose for her was Ji Gang, who had already served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard at that time, and was a member of the Sanpin. Although it is a house-filling, it can be asked for a decree, which is much better than marrying into an ordinary family.

Dang Guiqiu heard that in the second year of Jianwen, Ji Gang, a native of Su'an, joined the army with his fellow villager Mu Su, and he risked his life to detain the mount of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and asked the king of Yan to allow him to follow his life.

King Yan felt that Ji Gang was brave and skillful, so he immediately accepted him as his personal soldier.

After King Yan ascended the throne as the emperor, he was promoted to Ji Gang to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, pawned the army and took charge of the prison, to be able to marry such a person, it is said that he is still good-looking, Dang Guiqiu felt very happy in her heart, she looked forward to the encounter that Wang Yuerong arranged for them.

But for some reason, it was always by mistake, and she and Ji Gang never saw each other until the beginning of the eighth year of Yongle.

Ji Gang went to Yong'an Palace to see her, liked her gentle and harmless, delicate and lovely, and promised that he would ask the emperor to marry her back to his house.

He thought she was a kind-hearted little white rabbit, and she thought he was a pure-hearted loyal servant.

He told her personally that he didn't like vicious people, so she even thought about poisoning Yuxue, and was cautious.

If it weren't for Wang Yuerong saying that if she did that well and prepared for them to get married, she might still be hesitating.

After poisoning Yuxue, she waited and waited, but what she waited for was a hideous and cruel life-seeking like a nightmare, a sudden fire, choking green smoke, biting pain and charred corpses.

If she hadn't eaten some cold food that day, felt sick in her stomach, and wasn't in the room, and another maid about her age and size happened to come to the house that night to try on her new clothes, the charcoal corpse would have been her.

So she hid in the cold palace, and only this forgotten corner was the safest place.

Before, what Wang Yuerong ordered, Dang Guiqiu never asked, just did it. But after she almost lost her life in the fire, she became suspicious, and first checked the last thing Wang Yuerong told her, why did Wang Yuerong ask her to poison the little princess Yuxue?

She checked a little bit, only to know that before Wang Yuerong married into the Yan Palace, she and Ji Gang were old acquaintances, and the two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, with a deep relationship, and the two families only had to draw up a marriage contract. Later, although she was sent to Yanwang's Mansion by her parents to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, she has always had an old love for Ji Gang in her heart.

But at that time, neither of them knew that what separated them was an inner and outer walled courtyard.

It wasn't until the seventh year of Yongle that Ji Gang's identity was already able to walk in the inner palace that he knew that Wang Yuerong, who was already a concubine, was his old friend.

He took advantage of Wang Yuerong's affection for him to do a lot of things, and Wang Yuerong asked him to do him a favor, pretending to marry Dang Guiqiu as his wife, and appease her, so that she could have time to prepare and relieve her troubles.

When it comes to the position of the noble concubine, Wang Yuerong no longer needs to do the dirty things in the past, and the party Guiqiu who knows her past is a waste son who must be eliminated.

Only in this way can she always maintain a good image in the eyes of everyone.

This conversation, unfortunately, was heard by Yuxue, so Wang Yuerong ordered Dang Guiqiu to poison Yuxue to death without a trace.

No wonder, every time she saw Yuxue, Yuxue looked at her with such sympathy and pity, and she wanted to stop talking. It's a pity that she thought it was a little girl who looked down on her as a palace person.

In front of Ji Gang, Dang Guiqiu just wants to be the most gentle and kind little woman, and he is unwilling to reveal even a little bit of calculation and darkness that may be in the deep palace. She thinks that although Ji Gang promised Wang Yuerong to pretend to marry her as his wife at that time, after seeing herself, she really fell in love with herself - otherwise, he would not have said those words that made people blush and heartbeat to himself, and sent her a poem.

The flowers on the branches are blooming, and the jealous flowers are urging each other. I wish to teach the Qingdi to always be the main, and Mo Xun has dotted green moss.

It is the poem that Ji Gang gave her. When he sent her poems, Ji Gang said that she was the verdant moss, green and gratifying, a true temperament that was rare to see in the deep palace, and so gentle and beautiful, just like his young lover, so he must marry her and ask her to wait for his good news.

Later, when he heard the news that he had been burned to death by the fire, he wept bitterly and called her name over and over again, calling her back.

Hiding in the shadows, if she hadn't thought that as soon as she showed up, she would be discovered by Wang Yuerong's people, and she would almost have jumped into his arms.

After that, there were two or three times when she was almost discovered, so she didn't dare to go out of the cold palace again, and she kept hiding here, secretly taking the food of those concubines and palace people who were beaten into the cold palace, and clothes to keep out the cold. Because she is familiar with the path in the palace, and no one cares about the things in the cold palace, she has never been discovered.

Because he didn't dare to go out again, and the affairs of the imperial court were rarely known to the harem women, Dang Guiqiu never knew the news that Ji Gang was dead.

She was waiting for Wang Yuerong to fall.

Because she told the news to Princess Xianning's maid Huamei, she thought that Princess Xianning, who loved Yuxue so much, would make Wang Yuerong fall out of favor as long as she received the news, and if she told Ji Gang about it, he would come to save herself.

Looking at Dang Guiqiu, who was gradually out of breath and still smiling at the corner of her mouth, Princess Xianning said lightly: "Let's go." Xiangzhu ordered someone to bury her. โ€
