In September, the chrysanthemum red leaves are gorgeous, although there are yellow leaves that are not resistant to the autumn wind, the palace people clean in time, in the heavy vermilion wall, the scenery is not only bleak, look around, it is still the autumn sun is dazzling, the purple and red, the air is floating in the cinnamon fragrant fragrance, take a deep breath, the thick sweet feeling is like overflowing from the bottom of the heart.

But such a pleasant autumn color and beautiful wind and sunshine, it seems that it is impossible to reach this courtyard at the northeast corner of Miyagi, at the end of the east long house in the Shenwu Gate.

On the edge of the deep road, there is a particularly old sandwich wall, still red paint, which has been mottled by years of wind and frost, and a thick moss seeps out of the dampness at the heel of the wall, and the red paint peels off, and the tenacious life of the weeds struggles out of the brick cracks, which makes this dilapidated even more desolate.

After the corner, there is a disgusting sour curd head-on.

This is the court, the palace maids who serve here are almost difficult to see the day, boiled their heads white, boiled their bones, and most of them can only be confined in this dilapidated and rotten corridor, only to the day when they breathe, a roll of broken mats, carried out of the deep palace by the eunuchs, and thrown into mass graves.

Even the palace maids who are generally selected for the common people will not be directly assigned to the court.

The palace maids in it are all criminal courtiers and daughters, or palace people who have violated the palace rules and are blamed, they are the lowest and most hopeless characters in this glorious palace.

The hardships and dangers suffered are unimaginable to people who are not in the court.

For example, Qin Ziruo obviously underestimated the dire situation of the court.

At this time, she was dressed in a ragged skirt, with a dirty head, and her original goose egg face was sharpened by a knife and dagger, and even her cheekbones were high, and her pair of Gu Pan Qiubo also became red and swollen because of frequent crying, and there was no style, and a pair of green jade fingers were swollen and red, because of the twelve hours a day, most of them were soaked in cold water to work, and before the snow was cold and frosty, there were faint signs of germinating chilblains.

I have already regretted it, even if I am infamous and have been a green light ancient Buddha since then, I should not choose the path of not entering the court.

But how did she know that this was hell?

When I returned to the palace, I saw all the splendor of the golden walls and the flowers, and it was hard to imagine that the court was such a bad place.

was a slave and a maid in the palace, and he never tasted real humiliation.

What kind of life is she living now? Wake up and go to bed late, and what can't be cleaned with your sleeves rolled up is the drowning bucket of the palace people's cheap slaves!

In just a few dozen days, she was even insensitive to the stench.

I don't have the leisure to taste the sad emotions of shame or not.

Can she refuse? When the eunuchs carried her to this mountain of drowning buckets, she was about to put on an angry color, and she was pulled by the hair, and almost stuffed her face into the drowning buckets.

The stench almost made her faint and vomit.

The fierce eunuch let her go, also for fear of being soiled by her vomit.

The sharp throat was full of ridicule: "I advise you to know each other, in such a situation, don't think that you are still a golden boudoir, the Empress Dowager has an order first, you have nothing to do with the queen, if you are involved, you will be killed immediately!" ”

It only takes two hours a day to be free, not to mention the food, Qin Ziruo's nightmare is that she is actually in the same class as the Yang sisters.

Insulting, beating and scolding, they can only be left to the Yang family, who makes them more powerful, and they can't argue.

The stewards don't care whether the palace maids are wronged, let alone judge fairly, and when they get into trouble, they can't get off a round of whips, and they have to continue to wash the bucket after the beating.

I was tired, but I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Qin Ziruo couldn't understand that she would be in such a situation.

Obviously the situation is good, everything is as she expected.

Brother-in-law ascended the throne, sister and mother are all over the world, and even Su Yijing was taken into exile and disappeared before she could do it herself!

But why does God favor Concubine Su so much, why?

Qin Ziruo would never believe that Concubine Su had not been taken captive.

But in the end, why did it become a mirror, her happy and comfortable plan was completely broken, revealing the hideous and cruel face of life.

She gave up her own family reputation, why did she fall into such a situation, and no one saved her from the sea of suffering?

Sister won't talk about it, after the matter of the eldest prince, it is difficult to protect herself, but the Son of Heaven is still the king of a country after all, and her father is still the right man in the middle book, even if he tells him, these damn eunuchs and palace maids will not dare to treat them like this!

Is it completely forgotten by the family and the world?

Thinking that he sacrificed his life and forgot to die, but in the end he was reduced to a waste of chess, how could Qin Ziruo be willing?

No, she can't despair at this time, if she dies in the service court, and can't return the suffering to the Su clan, it will be difficult to turn a blind eye.

Hatred often becomes the only pillar of people in desperate situations.

Although in fact, the essence is that the only death through the ages is difficult.

If you don't want to die, you must live, but you are in hardship, and what you need is motivation and support.

She can't resent the indifferent and ruthless family, the "ungrateful" Son of Heaven, because they are the only ones who can save her.

Therefore, there is only resentment of Concubine Su, and the people who once fell in love with her.

This became another layer of pain, and every time she dreamed back in the middle of the night, she gnawed at her heart like fangs.

The court is sealed, and without an "external force", those who are in it will never be able to perceive anything outside of this road.

But Qin Ziruo knew the dilemma faced by the Qin family, of course, Zhao Gui deliberately leaked it.

It is to let her know that the Qin family is powerless, and the only person who can save Ziruo is the Son of Heaven.

"The girl wants me to go to the Qianming Palace to spread the word, there must be an explanation, I'm going to be straightforward, it's not that the saint doesn't know that the girl is in the court, if you want to shelter, the girl won't be in such a situation."

Zhao Gui first got Yang Siniang's entrustment, and Chu Xin deliberately wanted to talk from Qin Ziruo's mouth, but Qin Ziruo also knew that it was powerful, so he kept gritting his teeth and not opening his mouth, only promising heavy profits, hoping that Zhao Gui could connect with the eunuchs of Qianming Palace, remind the Son of Heaven of her current situation, and hope that the Son of Heaven could save her from the court.

But Zhao Gui didn't have such a "heavenly" ability, when the five princes happened, although Concubine De did not implicate their group of palace people, but there was no reliance, Zhao Gui was sent to the Bell and Drum Division, just a waiter, not to mention the Qianming Palace, the east and west six palaces can not enter and exit at will, except for the place on duty, they can only run to the court, usually take care of the daughters of the Yang family, or rely on the connections accumulated over the years, and then pay out of their own pockets, it is too difficult for him to "move" to Qianming Palace, Yang Siniang will not make it so difficult for Zhao Gui.

It was because things didn't progress.

Until the Empress Dowager intervened.

Qin Ziruo finally looked forward to the reply from the "Qianming Palace".

Late at night that day, it was easy to wash the pile of foul-smelling drowning barrels, Qin Ziruo rubbed his waist bones and staggered to the resting place, and halfway through, he was pulled by Zhao Gui to the corner of Yongdao.

Under the moonlight, the pattern of the Zhu Kui group on the robe of the eunuch in Tsing Yi is so conspicuous.

Qin Ziruo had some knowledge, and based on this clothing, he could judge that the eunuch in front of him was of very high rank.

A heart raised to the throat.

"Seventh lady, our family is under the holy order." The eunuch waved his hand back to Zhao Gui, slightly lowered his chin, and there was arrogance between his eyebrows.

The Holy One finally remembered her! Qin Ziruo's heart was ecstatic, but she would not be gullible in the end, and she still suppressed her excitement and was a little suspicious.

"This is not the place to talk." The eunuch seemed to have a cold sneer, obviously disrespecting the little sister of the Son of Heaven: "Our family will make a long story short, the saint is not ignoring the girl, it is true that there are many affairs in this area, and the girl also knows that the empress dowager is already suspicious because of the matter of the eldest prince and because of the matter of Concubine Su...... Zhou Zhongke is still nowhere to be found! The Empress Dowager is now searching for his family, and this was ...... The saint wanted to know if the Qin Mansion had been properly disposed of back then. ”

When Qin Ziruo heard this, he no longer had any doubts.

Zhou Zhong was the one who jumped out and thought that he was the staff of King Fu arranged in the Five Princes' Mansion, but in fact, he was the Son of Heaven.

Back then, the Son of Heaven designed to poison King Fu, but he personally did it, and he didn't disclose it in advance.

But in order to get rid of suspicion, the Son of Heaven had to take the poison together, although his life was safe, but there were always a few days when he was in a coma and could not be controlled, and the aftermath needed to be dealt with by the henchmen of Chen and Qin.

Because Zhou Zhong is a witness, he can't be extinguished first, but his family, of course, was pinched in the hands of the Son of Heaven to threaten.

The Son of Heaven knew that Senator Chen was not loyal, and Chen Xiangxing was not decisive in the facts, so such an important witness, of course, had to be entrusted to Qin Huaiyu to deal with.

I didn't plan to stay alive at all!

Originally, the Son of Heaven also thought that as soon as the limelight passed, he immediately sent Zhou Zhong to see his family, but after Zhou Zhong was personally interrogated by the first emperor, he disappeared, and he didn't have time to start.

This is thanks to Yi Chen, who submitted King Fu's suicide note to the first emperor in time, and the first emperor was suspicious, Zhou Zhong has actually been secretly detained, and now, it is still in the hands of the empress dowager.

Zhou Zhong couldn't bear the torture, and had already confessed the truth, what happened back then, and who did King Fu die at, not only the first emperor had found out, but the empress dowager also knew the truth, and over the years, he had also been looking for Zhou Zhong's family, in order to grasp the handle, in case one day the son was obsessed, and used it as a reason for abolition.

And because Senator Chen surrendered, the Empress Dowager asked him to secretly investigate, and learned that the Chen family was not involved in dealing with the extermination of the mouth.

Then it can only be the Qin family.

Of course, this eunuch is not from Qianming Palace, but someone sent by the Empress Dowager to deceive.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Zhou Zhong's family can find it, the Empress Dowager only needs a reason, a reason to be involved in the old case.

She guessed that if Qin Zi was full of confidence that the Son of Heaven would save her from the sea of suffering, he must have some kind of handle.

Of course, Zhao Gui couldn't say anything, but as long as he mentioned the old case, mentioned Zhou Zhong, and mentioned Zhou Zhong's missing family, if Qin Zi was in a difficult and dangerous situation, he would inevitably be negligent, thinking that it was impossible for others to know the inside story and would not suspect the whereabouts of the eunuchs.

Sure enough, take advantage of the wish.

The Son of Heaven has great reservations about the trust of the Qin family, and in turn, the Qin family may not be worried about the Son of Heaven crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the Son of Heaven took the initiative to hand over the handle, Qin Huaiyu was willing to kill his mouth, but Qin Zi was not willing.

Zhou Zhong's family is not dead, especially Zhou Zhong's father, who got a letter from his son and knew the inside story of King Fu's poisoning, this living mouth was persuaded by Qin Ziruo to persuade his grandfather to stay and place him in a secret house.

This incident was originally Qin Ziruo to prevent the Son of Heaven from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but now it has become a pedal for her to get out of the sea of suffering.

He confessed without hesitation, and chose himself cleanly, only saying that his grandfather was alive because of taboos, but he was also treacherous, and asked him to face the saint in person, so he confessed to Zhou's father's hiding place.

The eunuch sneered: "As long as you know that Father Zhou is harbored by the Qin family, the girl thinks that the saint can't find out where the Qin family's secret mansion is located?" The girl is still obediently confessed, and the saint is a promise, and when this turmoil passes, she will inevitably help the girl get out of the court and live in a stable and wealthy place in the future. ”

With such a deception, Qin Ziruo completely "surrendered".

She has fallen to this point, not to mention the Son of Heaven, a palace eunuch can kill her, and only by showing sincerity to the Son of Heaven is the only hope.

And the purpose of the Empress Dowager was not to rescue Zhou's father at all, so she only asked Zhao Gui to tell Yang Siniang about the hiding place of the fraudulent witness.

It was easy for Yang Siniang to get "real evidence" from Qin Ziruo's mouth, and she was still a living person, and she was ecstatic and did not doubt anything else, but when she heard Zhao Gui say that it was enough to give evidence to Ci'an Palace, she hesitated.

"The Yang family has been defeated, my brother-in-law and sister have died, I am just a maid in the court, I will give proof, how can the Empress Dowager be trusted?" Yang Siniang didn't pay attention to Zhao Gui's anxiety, let him calm down for a while, and thought hard for two days before he decided: "If Zhao waiter is involved in this matter, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep safe, only one person is enough to save your life, and if this person goes to Ci'an Palace, the Empress Dowager will believe it." ”

Yang Siniang took a deep breath: "The waiter must find an opportunity to get out of the palace, go to the palace of the king of Chu, and ask to see the princess of Chu, King Fu is the brother-in-law of the princess, if the princess knows that King Fu was assassinated by the Son of Heaven, she will not ignore it, the king of Chu and the princess are people who value love and righteousness, as long as they agree, the waiter can also be saved." ”

Yang Siniang is indeed not a fool, knowing that even if there is "evidence of crime", but the murderer is the Son of Heaven, if it is not for the fact that Ci'an Palace has the right to supervise the government, and is not in harmony with the Son of Heaven, she will not act rashly, and at present, the Su and Chu mansions and the Qin family are in the same situation, and the Ci'an Palace has the support of the two mansions, only by letting the Chu Wang and his wife come forward, it is possible to make the truth of the case revealed, even if the Yang family cannot get rid of the crime, the Qin family and the Son of Heaven will not be able to achieve good results.

It's counted, you can hate for the blood of the family!

This is rather for the broken jade, not for the tile, the weak boudoir desperate revenge.
