Xiangyun's face turned pale, "The slave and maid have already been recruited, and Hai Chang is instructing the slave and maid to steal the red basket of charcoal, one is not convinced that the concubine is using good things, and the other is that she is jealous that the concubine is favored by the emperor and wants to harm the concubine." She kowtowed desperately twice and begged: "The noble concubine forgives her sins, the slave and maid have already learned that they are wrong, and they don't dare anymore." ”

Hailan endured the pain, didn't look at Xiangyun and said, "Xiangyun, you have been with me for two or three years, I ask myself if you are not thin......"

Xiangyun was not afraid, met Hailan's gaze, and said firmly: "Little master, no matter how you treat me, this kind of conscience slave will never dare again." The slave and maid also advise you, everyone gets the stolen goods, you still admit it. ”

"If there is a mistake, it can be corrected, and it is very good. So Xiangyun, this palace will not punish you. But if you don't change your mistakes and don't admit them, you will be punished. Concubine Hui didn't feel a slight color, and sneered, "Who in this palace doesn't know that this palace is cold and weak, and it is the most forbidden to be cold." Hai Chang is so vicious with his intentions! Double happiness, hit this palace again! ”

As Concubine Hui's voice fell neatly, Shuangxi had already taken the thorn stick on the side, and said "offend the little master", and immediately wanted to fight it. Ruyi looked closely, only to realize that it was not an ordinary stick, but a thick wattle strip, not peeled and not thorned. The sharp thorns on the two-finger-thick thorn stick protruded, stained with bright red blood spots. I think that the blood beads on Hailan's feet are caused by this thing.

Shuangxi didn't say a word, he raised the stick and slammed it into the center of Hailan's foot several times, Hailan screamed, almost fainted to the ground, and the blood on her feet was dripping with blood, which was unbearable. Ruyi was both shocked and worried, although she knew that the pain in her heart was far better than that of other places, but seeing Hailan suffer so much, she also knew that it was not good. In a hurry, she had to stretch out her arm to stop the thorn stick in Shuangxi's hand and shouted, "Slow! ”

Hailan fell to the ground in pain, and Concubine Hui raised her slender eyes gracefully, and called, "Mo Xin—"

Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward to support Hailan, and Mo Xin sneered: "Concubine Xian didn't care about our mother when she came, but she was busy helping Hai Chang first, this is really right and wrong." What's more, Fang Caihai Chang has been fine with a few sticks, how can he be weak now, but isn't it to see that people are coming, so Qiao Zhang is doing it. ”

Hailan collapsed in Ruyi's arms, her face covered with wet and greasy cold sweat sticking to her hair, and she still murmured in embarrassment: "Sister Xian, concubine...... I, did not steal. It's really ......" Before she could finish her sentence, the person fainted in pain.

Ruyi hugged Hailan distressedly, covering her feet with her skirt, her heart ached, so she had to hold back her anger and said: "The noble concubine Niangniang used the confession of charcoal ash and Xiangyun to determine that Hailan stole the red basket of charcoal and persecuted Niangniang. But Niangniang thought about it, today is the twentieth day of the lunar month, and Niangniang's red basket charcoal is given by the Internal Affairs Office according to the monthly quota, fifteen catties a day, and four hundred and fifty catties a month. If Hailan really stole all of them and harmed Niangniang with no red basket of charcoal, then she would have to steal at least ten days' share, a total of 150 catties of red basket charcoal. Her palace is so big, where can she find it? The mother will find out when she checks it out. ”

Hui Guifei changed color slightly, and raised her face towards Mo Xin. Mo Xin snatched Hailan from Ruyi's arms, and took the copper basin under the porch that was holding the ice water under the eaves, and splashed it all on Hailan with a bang. Ruyi was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Mo Xin, what are you doing? ”

Mo Xin smiled and groaned: "Hai Chang fainted in pain, and if she didn't wake up with water, how could she ask where the rest of the red basket charcoal was hidden!" ”

Ruyi glared at her angrily and said, "In such a cold weather, if you splash her with cold water, won't it kill her!" ”

Mo Xin saw Hailan moaning in pain, and said with a smile: "As long as Hai Chang is awake, everything is easy to say." You see, isn't that working? ”

Ruyi hurriedly took off the silk to wipe it for her, and Ah Ji was also stunned when she stood aside, and hurriedly took off the silk and wiped it with Ruyi. Hui Guifei's eyes narrowed slightly, she raised her chin, Mo Xin immediately understood, turned around and scooped a basin from the large tank of water under the porch, regardless of the splash, she poured Ruyi like a chicken in soup. Ruyi only felt a spirit, and her whole body had been soaked with ice water, and a chill came out of her bones, and the cold wind poured in from the corridor in the courtyard, and immediately seemed to be piled up in ice and snow, and her whole body trembled with cold.

Mo Xin said "oops" and said busily: "Concubine Xian, I'm really sorry." Who made you so close to the sea? The slave maid thought that a basin of water would not make Hai Chang wake up, so she added a basin. How good is this......"

Concubine Hui Guifei sat up slightly and said in a manly voice: "Mo Xin, you are too careless." She nu a cherry lips, "Caizhu, Caiyue, don't move a few charcoal basins over, for Concubine Xian and Hai Chang to warm up." ”

Caiyue and Caizhu agreed, but only picked a few charcoal basins that were about to go out and put them next to Ruyi and Hailan, the fire was faint, it was really useless.

Ruyi clenched her fists tightly, and the pain of touching her palms with her fingertips reminded herself to be patient, and hugged Hailan tightly, hoping to warm each other's body temperatures. In the cold season, the cold of the whole body is soaking wet, what else can be done except patience? The difference between the concubine and the concubine is only one place, but the status is thousands of miles apart. Xiyue, she is a rightfully favored concubine. As for herself, she is just a concubine who has not seen the face of the king for a long time. She had no other choice but to endure it, hoping to save Hailan and pull her.

Ruyi lowered her head, cold and biting water droplets slid across her cold and numb face, she only felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier, and her voice was a little ethereal: "Guifei Niangniang, Hai Changzai has already been punished, and now his whole body is also soaked." May I take her for a change of clothes? Otherwise, if she freezes like this, her body will not be able to bear it. ”

Concubine Hui coughed lightly, looked at the gilt-inlaid enamel armor on her hand lazily, and smiled slightly. However, there was no smile in her eyes, and that kind of cold light, like the golden light of the armor on her little finger, was sharp and cold: "Concubine Fang Caixian has a good saying, one hundred and fifty catties of red basket charcoal can't be burned all at once, so I can't tell where it's hidden." In this case, you can't help but search carefully. She called out, "Double happiness! ”

Shuangxi agreed and stepped forward: "The slave is here." ”

Concubine Hui said lazily: "Go to Haichang and search carefully in those rooms, connect to the dormitory where Haichang is located, be careful, don't let it go anywhere." Check where the red baskets are placed, so that they can die. ”

Ruyi listened to her bite the word "them" and knew that it was not going to be easy. I don't know when I want to search this search, I and Hailan are frozen here, I really can't survive and can't die.
