Qiao Jingshu got out of the car and looked up at the plaque, which was already a little old and broken, there was no superfluous decoration on it, just two simple words "Cold Palace", and it didn't even add a little more to cover it up.

The women in the harem, when they enter the palace, are all full of expectations and enthusiasm into the red walls of the four directions, but the harem can always teach them a lot, maybe they can't learn it in their lifetime, only in this harem.

Qiao Jingshu didn't let people come to "clear the field" in advance, but what she saw at this time was the most real and ordinary cold palace, passing through the guards guarding the door, stepping in, and the dust splashed dirty her treasure pattern cloud head brocade shoes, as if she didn't notice it.

Even if I had made a lot of preparations in my heart before, but at this time, I still felt a little lonely and desolate, but I didn't have the slightest disgust, and glanced at the dilapidated buildings and utensils around me, as well as some "crazy people" who talked to themselves, and made a look.

Qingqi understood, and hurriedly raised her voice, "What's in charge?"

Soon, a slightly hunched and slightly chubby man came out of a nearby house, "Who's coming?"

I didn't dare to see Concubine Shu's outfit and the minions surrounding her, so she hurriedly put on a smiling face and trotted over, "The old slave has seen it"

"This is Concubine Shu," Qingqi said at the right time.

Then Wen Yan's smile became even bigger, and he knelt on the ground, "The old slave has seen Concubine Shu Guiniang. ”

"Get up," Qiao Jingshu didn't want to entangle with her more, "What about Concubine Shu"

Even though Concubine Shu has been demoted to a concubine, they still call her Concubine Shu, or habit, or remembrance, or friendship, only they know what it is for.

"Concubine Shu" patted her head then, "Look at the old slave's memory, Concubine Shu is placed in the back, Concubine Shu Guifei wants the old slave to get her to the front."

The word "get" is enough to explain the status of Concubine Shu here.

Indeed, since she has entered the cold palace, where is the lady concubine.

"No need, Bengong will go by yourself and show the way," Qiao Jingshu frowned.

So hesitant, "Mother, this"

"Bold," Qing Qi shouted sharply, "Concubine Shu Gui Niangniang acts, how can you be a minion to put your beak in the way." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two eunuchs behind him immediately stepped forward and knelt down so much, so startled, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare, the old slave doesn't dare, beg Concubine Shu to spare her life."

"Get up, this palace wants to go and see Concubine Shu in person, and I hope it's convenient," Qiao Jingshu said and asked Qingqi to hand over a purse.

Then he didn't dare to take it, and he finally accepted it after a few pushes, but he no longer dared to have the previous carelessness, and he didn't care about weighing the weight of the purse, "The old slave thanked Concubine Shu Guiniang." ”

got up from the ground, respectfully pointed out the way for her, and didn't dare to lead the way by herself, after all, she could understand what Shu Guifei said just now.

Qingqi helped Shu Guifei to walk forward, and she couldn't hide her disdain on her face, "Niangniang, how can this kind of person still give a reward, according to the slave maid, it should be sent directly to the Shen Penal Division." ”

Even if it was the first time I saw him, but the previous attitude on his face made it clear that he didn't take them in his eyes, greedy and profit-oriented, and at first glance, he knew that he was not a good person, and he was cheap to be an errand in this cold palace.

Qiao Jingshu sneered, "That's it, it's just an irrelevant minion, where is it worth your momentum," then eased his tone, and glanced at the waste concubines around him, "I won't see her after today, but they still want to see her." ”

Most of the abolished concubines in this cold palace are not the women of the emperor today, but the legacy of previous dynasties, whether they really made mistakes is unknown, but since they have entered this cold palace, they will never go out for a day, whether they are dead or alive, no one will really care.

Every day with the previous crazy people, it is difficult not to be crazy, perhaps, crazy can live more comfortably, I don't know what sorrow is, living in my own world, is also a kind of relief when I am alive.

"Niangniang is saying that this is a punishment for them" Qingqi asked a little as if she didn't understand.

Qiao Jingshu shook her head, "Where is there any punishment, entering the cold palace is the biggest punishment for them, and the rest is left to fate, no one cares." ”

It's not a punishment, it's just that they don't care, it's because of whether this person is in charge of things is good or bad, what kind of character is, what kind of temperament is, they don't care at all, and it has nothing to do with them.

"You see, there is still a good thing on these people," Qiao Jingshu casually pointed at a few people and said.

Qingqi looked in the direction, and sure enough, most of the clothes on their bodies were dirty, and they couldn't even see the original style and color, but what they could know was that the fabric was not expensive, let alone rare, and the others, not to mention any jewelry, were not tied by hairpins, and most of them were scattered at random.

It stands to reason that even if you enter the cold palace, it will not come to this point, after all, there is no confiscation in the palace, at most, it is just to return the shares that do not belong to you to the palace province, and all the concubines have more or less some savings, and they will not be this poor in any case.

Although Qingqi is a palace maid, she has never been to this cold palace, and she is not familiar with the way of survival here, so that when she saw Concubine Shu, she almost didn't recognize it.

However, in just a few days, Concubine Shu was no less than ten years old, her face was dirty, her clothes were old and broken, and her smooth hair, which had been combed, was only casually draped at this time, and even stained with some hay crumbs, her eyes were cloudy, and she was even more decadent than words.

Concubine Shu was much calmer than her, ignoring her dissuasion, took two steps forward, and said softly, "Sister Concubine Shu, this palace has come to see you." ”

As he spoke, the little eunuch behind him stepped forward to lift the food box in his hand and took out two delicately crafted snacks from it, "This is your favorite gold cake roll and sugar steamed cheese, which this palace brought to you." ”

After a long time, the person standing there reacted slightly, and then slowly moved his gaze to the food box, glanced at a few of them cautiously, seemed to struggle for a few moments, stepped forward and snatched the food box in a few steps, took a few steps back, squatted on the ground, and did not use bamboo chopsticks to directly grab it and stuff it into his mouth.

Qiao Jingshu winked, "You all stand down first." ”

"Niangniang" Qingqi disagreed a little and dissuaded.

"Stand down," Qiao Jingshu raised her voice slightly, but did not attract a hint of reaction from the person who was squatting on the ground eating.

Qingqi was helpless, knowing that she couldn't be dissuaded, so she had to retreat a little with someone, but she stood in the distance, keeping her eyes firmly on the movement here, for fear that something would happen.

Qiao Jingshu waited for them to retreat before she spoke, "Sister Shufei, you better not pretend." ”

Seeing that she didn't react at all, she sneered, "There is no one else here on the left and right, what's the point of pretending, this palace is not the first day I met you, what kind of person you are, this palace knows better than anyone else." ”

Still didn't have the slightest reaction, and Qiao Jingshu didn't mind, "How does this palace treat you, this palace thinks you can have a clear conscience, but I don't know that this palace has been worth raising a dog for so many years." ”

"Back then, the children of this palace were gone, and your children did not survive, this palace thought that we had a common encounter and a common enemy, so this palace accepted your overtures, so many of you, as always, never treated you badly, but how did you repay this palace"

"This palace knows that you hate this palace, but you can't live if you don't do this to this palace, this palace will not ruthlessly want to destroy you, but this result is good, at least this palace has not let you Shen women be prostitutes for generations, men are slaves, you should also thank this palace."

The back of the person squatting on the ground paused, and finally had a hint of reaction, for a long time, Shen Ruyun turned around in a hurry, the broken hair hanging down on his forehead covered half of his eyes, and the remaining black pupil eyes were terrifying, standing up, taking two steps forward, the distance between the two was only a few feet.

"Qiao Jingshu, if you say such a thing, you are not afraid of five thunders and thunders from the sky, are you not afraid of being punished by heaven, you have caused the destruction of the palace family for your own sake, the destruction of the Shen family, and hundreds of lives up and down, just because you went to see the king of Hades like this, and dreamed back at midnight, have you never had a nightmare and been scared awake?"

Qiao Jingshu hooked the corners of her mouth with a little sarcasm, "This palace will be punished by heaven, why do you think this palace chose the Shen family, you think this palace has such great power, you think this is what this palace is willing to"

Three "thoughts" in a row, let Shen Ruyun stumble step by step, she is not a stupid person, on the contrary, she is also a little smart, so she can be arrogant in the harem for so many years, how can she be a fool if she gets into this position.

But now that she has fallen to the point of the cold palace, it still shows that she is not a smart person, otherwise, how could she bury the rest of her life in the cold palace.

She always knew that the emperor felt guilty about her, after all, it was his first child, and he showed great joy at the beginning, but the sky did not obey people's wishes, the child died, she was in pain, and finally exchanged for the position of concubine, she faintly comforted, thinking that the child's life was also worth sacrificing.

Come to think of it, this is just a temptation by the emperor, and her performance naturally did not pass, so she has no grace, no heirs, nothing, whether it is publicized or vicious, he doesn't care, he doesn't care about it at all, but she is so stupid, she thinks it is connivance and compensation.

That's why today, she has come to such a point, falling so badly and in such pain.

"You are not wronged, but this palace is very wronged."
