Chapter 10: The Golden Hairpin Commissioned Land

It seems that no one has been here in Qionghua Garden for a long time, and after returning to the palace, these gardens that are not used for a while have not had time to arrange for people to clean up, and the ancient branches are slanted horizontally, and the dust is everywhere.

Before you know it, the snow has turned smaller, but the cold wind has become stronger, whistling through the dry branches, making a piercing grinding sound, and the snowflakes are blown by the fierce wind, and the sound of the originally unhurried clusters has become rapid.

The red sunset could be faintly seen on the horizon, but the brilliant glow was also dimmed in the silver-gray snow.

I remember the last time I came here, it was still a spring scene, under the shade of sycamore and weeping willows, the faint fragrance of flowers lingered on the nose.

How long has it been? The carved fence and jade masonry are still there, but the flowers and faces have withered.

Su Mi walked through the garden, and her steps unconsciously accelerated. Xiao Luzi, who was following closely behind, almost couldn't keep up, holding a wooden box carved with red lacquer, and hurriedly followed Su Mi's footsteps.

Finally out of the garden, Su Mi took a long breath, his footsteps slowed down, and Xiao Luzi ran behind Su Mi out of breath.

Seeing Su Mi walking slower and slower, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look around, and after walking a short distance out of Qionghua Garden, he could see the blue wave pool.

The original most prosperous scenery in the palace has not been taken care of for a long time.

The water drawn from the hot springs outside the city has been cut off, and there is no steaming heat and lotus flowers blooming like a fairyland, so people can discover it for the first time. It turns out that the blue wave pool in winter will also be so cold, the cold is terrible, and the cold goes straight into people's hearts.

Xiao Luzi's eyes unconsciously turned back to the red box he was holding in his hand, and the spirit of the spirit shivered, not daring to linger. Hurriedly kept up with Su Midi's pace.

Walking forward along the blue wave pool, Su Mi's pace became slower and slower. But no matter how slowly you walk, there is a moment when the short distance comes to an end.

Looking up, the Jade Palace was already close in front of him.

The inner supervisor in charge of guarding here greeted him, and it seemed that he had already learned of Su Mi's intention this time.

Su Mi hesitated for a moment before walking into the hall.

It was still daytime, but the sky was already dark, as if it had been enveloped early in the middle of the night. Let the people who have just stepped into it unconsciously rise to the illusion that they have stepped into a bottomless abyss.

Su Mi closed his eyes, opened them again for a moment, and then regained his unobstructed vision.

In the hall, there is only an oil lamp lit on the lampstand of the bronze lion ear on the left, which is dim and dim, flickering and flickering, and there are a few pieces of pearl-like objects on the ground next to it, look carefully. It was the glazed screen lampshade that was originally attached to the lamp, and it was broken. Without the protection of the barrier, the lamp swayed helplessly in the cold wind that leaked through the cracks in the doors and windows, and seemed to be extinguished in the freezing cold wind in the next moment.

In the dim light, the tables, chairs, and utensils in the hall reflected a clear light, as if there was a light smoke rising from the clouds. The jade-colored curtain was worn out at this time. Outside the window, the thin evening light spilled in through the moth-eaten holes, outlining comical shapes on the blue-tiled floor.

Then she saw them.

They're still alive, but they're just alive.

These concubines who were surrounded by beads and green in the past, and these women who were radiant and beautiful like flowers in the past, sat on the ground one by one at this time.

Some of them fell in a corner of the temple, huddled behind the screen, some of them holding their legs blankly. Leaning in the deepest part of the shadows. It was an expression of despair and helplessness that was even more desperate and helpless than when he was in the palace. There is not a trace of life in sight.

Even if it is their relatives, they can't wait for them to die soon. so as not to darken the family. Of course, if they still have families.

Because of Su Mi's arrival, the door of the temple was pushed open, and the slanting light of the setting sun was projected from outside the hall.

Several of the concubines who were close to the ground seemed to be frightened by the sudden light, and shrank back.

Su Mi walked into the hall. For the first time, she felt that the ground of the celadon carved tiles under her feet was so cold. There is dust rising in the air, with a cold and decadent aura, lingering on the tip of people's noses, layer upon layer, pervasive. She was walking on the hard blue tile floor, but she felt like she was walking in the soft and stagnant dust.

Su Mi's eyes swept in front of her, and several concubines raised their heads, stared at Su Mi blankly, and then lowered their heads indifferently, as if what walked in was just a shadow that no one could see, and it was a breeze that no one cared about.

Xiao Luzi walked in trembling with the coral lacquer box in his hand, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold or because of something else.

Among them, the eyes of the concubines closest to the door swept vacantly over the guards and eunuchs in charge of opening the door, Su Mi who strolled in, and Xiao Luzi who followed closely behind, as if they were looking at the dusty table in this hall. This atmosphere of silence and near-death was shattered the moment his eyes fell on the red box in Xiao Luzi's hand.

The eyes of the concubines changed from lifeless loneliness, to confusion, and then to shock, and then to deep fear. They stared at Xiao Luzi's hand.

Xiao Luzi was furious by that look, and the box in his hand suddenly became more than a thousand catties, and he almost couldn't hold it.

Suddenly, the screams of a concubine rang out. It was like a signal that pierced the sky, with an astonishing sharpness that was incommensurate with the silence of the evening.

Awakened by this piercing scream, the concubines in the hall who were sitting or lying down raised their heads with great difficulty and looked at Su Mi's figure.

Their eyes passed through Su Mi and fell on Xiao Luzi's hands, and then they seemed to see the most terrifying thing in the world.

Suddenly, one of the concubines jumped up, and she staggered to the threshold, shouting hoarsely: "I want to see the emperor!" This palace wants to see the emperor! The emperor will forgive me, this palace will not die! The voice traveled far, far away in this silent palace. Like a frightened bird screaming and being thrown into the abyss.

Before her panicked figure rushed to the door, several eunuchs guarding there appeared and stopped her deadly.

She struggled to break free from the suffocating restraints, but was pinned to the ground by several little eunuchs, and her long-tired body only squirmed a few times, and then curled up weakly on the ground, like a dead fish thrown ashore in winter.

But the scream was like a bowl of cold water thrown into a boiling oil pot.

In an instant, the originally silent hall churned and became enthusiastic.

The lifeless concubines in the hall suddenly took action, and they looked at the red box in Xiao Luzi's hand with frightened eyes. As if the dazzling red color brought them infinite strength, they screamed, pushed, and ran up from every corner of the Jade Palace, to the threshold, to the glimmer of light outside the door.

Su Mi was frightened by this sudden chaotic situation, and before she could react, a concubine who passed by her pushed her violently.

She staggered backwards and nearly fell. Holding the embroidered corner screen beside him, this is able to stabilize his body.

The concubines, who had been driven into madness by fear, crowded at the door.

The little eunuchs in charge of the guards stopped this, but they couldn't resist that. While shouting and scolding, he tried his best to call for his companions behind him to come and stop him. If it weren't for the fact that Su Mi was still present, I was afraid that I would have punched and kicked this group of madmen a long time ago.

Thinking of the singing and dancing feasts in the past, and the scenes of intrigue, who knew that these golden concubines would also have such a day.

It's not for wealth and glory, it's just to live, for such a purest purpose, struggling with all his might, trying his best to use his last drop of strength, struggling to pray for a chance to live, although this opportunity is so illusory.

Su Mi was in a trance, but heard a faint sigh behind him.

She turned her head away.

Half of the corner screen embroidered on the silk silk has been missing, and around the screen, behind it is the warm pavilion where the concubines are resting.

At this time, there were three or five concubines scattered around, and they didn't even seem to have the strength to rush out and shout. Compared to the chaotic fear at the door, the dead silence that enveloped them was even more chilling.

The breeze blew, and the eye unhindered through the hanging curtain saw the big red bedding scattered on the bed. The original bright red color has turned dark red due to the accumulation of filth, and the original texture is so old and dirty that you can't see the original texture.

On such a bed, a woman was sitting sideways, staring at the bedding.

At this moment, the air in the Jade Palace was filthy and chaotic, but when it came to her side, it gradually precipitated and turned into a kind of peace.

Su Mi bypassed the screen and slowly approached the inner hall, she raised her head and smiled faintly at Su Mi,

From a short distance, the light through the gaps in the panes shone into the air, and the pale golden afterglow floating in the air was faintly visible, shining on her still bright face, as if a thin layer of fat powder had been applied.

"The day has finally come. She looked at Su Mi with eyes as silent as a dry well, and then turned to Xiao Luzi, who had retreated in panic behind Su Mi in order to avoid those crazy concubines.

Habitually broken thoughts, monthly passes, monthly passes......
