Chapter 374: Seeking Death

Today's four institutes in Qianxi are as dilapidated as in the past.

There are only three or four people alive in the group, crazy, and time is running out.

Even if a packet of incense powder is thrown in, it is no longer the same as before, and some people are swarming up and scrambling to grab it.

The surviving sat bored under the dilapidated eaves, their eyes cloudy and dull, like clay sculptures.

Concubine Crane locked herself in an empty room and cowered in a corner, full of horror.

She was really scared, not only afraid of the few waste concubines who were not human or ghostly outside, but also afraid of this cold palace full of death.

The cold here is different from the cold outside, even if the crumbling palace shelters the biting cold wind, but the cold air it emits from the inside out penetrates the bone marrow more and more.

She is a woman from an official family, she has seen the inhuman tribulations here, she understands that when she enters this place, it is dark, don't say goodbye Mo Guhan, even stepping out of the dilapidated door is a luxury.

Now that she has an incident in the east window, the brothers of her mother's family have come up with an idea to quench her thirst by drinking water like this in order to squeeze the last bit of value out of her. But after the incident, in order to clear up the relationship and not be implicated, she categorically would not intercede for her, and she could only fend for herself here, and she was left to die.

Concubine Crane curled up again, feeling colder.

She was thrown directly into the cold palace, and she didn't even have time to pick up two clothes that she could wear, let alone wrap a little silver and come in to do some things. You can imagine how miserable the days to come will be.

The lock in the courtyard "clanged", she jumped up all of a sudden, no one will come in the cold palace for ten days or eight days, at this time the door lock sounds, is it the emperor?

Hopefully, she stood up and threw herself to the door, looking out through the windy window.

The slender singer walked in through the courtyard gate with a burden in her carry, and the guards immediately locked behind her.

Siange glanced around blankly, then searched room by room.

The hope in Concubine He's heart was shattered, and she asked through the window with a crying voice, "Why are you here?" ”

Xian Ge turned around and leaned over at Concubine Crane to say hello: "The slave and maid come in to serve the master." ”

Concubine Crane smiled "hehe": "I'm down now, and others are afraid of it, are you rushing in to suffer?" ”

Xian Ge raised her face: "The slave maid said that the slave and maid will take revenge, but the kindness of the mother, Xian Ge also remembers it." ”

Concubine Crane opened the door and let Xian Ge come in: "You must know that if you come in, you will be buried here, and you will not be able to get out." ”

Xian Ge said with a low "um": "Xian Ge's life is all the mother's." ”

Xian Ge closed the door casually and looked around: "Niang Niang has suffered." ”

Concubine Crane instantly put down her strong disguise, and almost collapsed: "Xian Ge, I can't stay here for a moment, where is this place for people?" ”

Xian Ge sighed leisurely: "Who made you confused for a while, now you can only knock out your teeth and swallow blood." ”

Concubine Crane shook her head in a panic: "Don't you even believe it?" Xian Ge, although Bengong has indeed been secretly taking Wushi San, but the dose is extremely small, and the toxicity is also very small, and it will definitely not suddenly be in a trance, lose his mind, and go crazy, Bengong is indeed calculated by others. ”

Xian Ge sighed in a low voice: "But the point is that Niangniang has indeed been taking poison, which the emperor can't tolerate at all." ”

Concubine Crane sat down on the crumbling chair with a face full of chagrin: "Is there really no room for maneuver in this palace?" Xiange, you've always been smart, you should have a way. ”

Xian Ge shook his head and said honestly: "No." ”

"I don't believe it," Xian Ge refused too simply, and Concubine Crane shook her head categorically: "Xian Ge, think about it, think about it, you must have a way." ”

Xian Ge turned her head: "Niangniang, you can rest, the slave maid will clean up the house well, and it won't be too uncomfortable to live." ”

She took off the burden she was carrying and sighed lightly: "I should have brought two more slips in, so I covered the window, otherwise it will be freezing this day, and there will be such a strong wind at night, how can I rest?" People are going to freeze into mounds of ice. ”

She picked up a handful of straw from the corner of the wall, swept away the cobwebs and dust from the window, and muttered: "When I left the palace, the guards checked and searched the few valuable jewelry and silver that the maid had carried, and we had nothing." If you want to make a little bit, you can't change the bed and new bedding for the mother. I can only look forward to the rain in spring, and find a way to save some rainwater to dismantle and wash this dirty cotton wool for you. ”

Concubine Crane sat dejectedly, and every word of Xian Ge hit her heart like a hammer, making her heart sink more and more. She looked at the unrecognizable cotton wool stacked in the corner, and almost sickened.

There was a staggering movement at her feet, and a rat poked its head out of the hole in the wall, startled her, and did bounce indeed.

A few words made her collapse in an instant, and this uninvited guest was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

She grabbed Slender's hand: "Slinge, think of a way, you can do anything, I don't want to stay here." ”

Xian Ge frowned: "Where are you going if you don't stay here?" This is the emperor's order, what can we do? ”

Concubine Crane almost knelt at the feet of Xian Ge, she shook her head hysterically, tears flowing: "I want to see the emperor, I beg him well, the emperor is cold and warm, and he will definitely take into account our past feelings." ”

"Isn't that easier said than done? Mother, don't be delusional. Xian Ge rejected her plea: "If you come, you will be safe." ”

Concubine Crane glanced around: "Let me live here all the time, I would rather die for the rest of my life!" ”

Xian Ge paused the movement in his hand: "Niang Niang can really fight hard? ”

Concubine He seemed to suddenly see the dawn of hope, and nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, as long as you can see the emperor and go out, you can be in any danger." ”

Xian Ge groaned slightly: "This method is really risky. ”

Concubine Crane swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty: "You say! ”

Xian Ge looked at her and said categorically: "Seek death!" ”

"Seeking death?" Concubine Crane asked suspiciously.

"Yes, mother, it's a bitter meat trick. As you said, the emperor is soft-hearted, and if he hears that you are dying and your life is in danger, he will be moved by compassion and will come to see you. Whether you can seize the opportunity to make the emperor change his mind and release you from the cold palace depends on your ability. ”

"But, what if the emperor ignores it?"

Xian Ge thought for a moment, and pointed to the burden: "Write a suicide note and let the guards hand it over to the emperor, how to be sincere and tear-jerking." ”

"Will this work?" Concubine Crane will be skeptical.

"How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try? One crying, two troubles and three hangings were originally a woman's magic weapon. If the mother is not willing to try, it will be fine. ”

After that, he continued to busy his work.

Concubine Crane just thought about it for a while, then gritted her teeth fiercely and cut it categorically: "I'll try!" ”

Xian Ge stopped what he was doing, took out a light-colored dress from his baggage, bit and tore it, removed a piece, and spread it out in a flat place: "Have you figured out how to write?" ”

Concubine Crane hesitated slightly: "No pen?" ”

"Bite your fingers and use blood, so that you are more resolute."

Concubine Crane made up her mind, thought about it for a while, and really bit her fingers ruthlessly, and wrote a few words on the big paper.

"Just for Bo Jun, he took the wrong step on the road of no return, he was wronged and suffered today, and he was infatuated and wronged in this life."

"Is this possible?" Concubine Crane took her fingers into her mouth to stop the bleeding, staring at Xian Ge with her eyes blank, she had no opinion.

Xian Ge nodded: "The viewer is moved, and the emperor will definitely feel it." ”

Concubine He looked at those words, and she also sighed with emotion, and sorrow came from it, and she shed tears: "Why should I marry into this ruthless emperor's family?" ”

I sobbed a few times in distraction, and with a ruthless heart, I wrote down a bloody word "injustice".

Xian Ge put the blood book on the stone: "Niangniang, will you act today?" ”

Concubine Crane nodded: "I can't stay in this palace for a quarter of an hour." It's just a slender song, what should I do next? ”

Xian Ge raised his head and glanced at the beam: "When Niangniang kicked over the chair under her feet, the slave broke in when she heard the movement and rescued Niangniang." Niangniang just closed her eyes, pretended to be unconscious, and left everything to Xian Ge to deal with. Don't show your flaws, or you'll lose all your work. ”

Concubine Crane also looked up at the beams of the house, with a look of fear on her face: "Is it really self-hanging?" It's adventurous. ”

Xian Ge nodded: "There is no other way to seek wealth and danger." ”

Concubine He's heart sank, and she sank: "Okay, this palace listens to you." ”

Xian Ge tore the burden into strips of cloth, tied it on the beam, and stretched it vigorously with his hands to make sure it was strong enough. Fang Cai exited the door and gently closed the door, the corners of his lips slightly hooked up with a sneer.

The wind in the courtyard was so strong that it rustled against the broken windows.

Under the eaves of the corridor opposite, two people sat down, taking advantage of the last ray of warm sun, opening their clothes to catch lice, squeezing out the blood with a "poof" of their nails stuffed with black mud, or throwing them into their mouths, and biting them with their teeth.

Their breasts were no longer recognizable, and the necklines of their robes were stiff.

As soon as Xian Ge thought that after living here for a long time, she and Concubine Crane would become like this, and she shuddered. Don't say that Concubine He, who is used to brocade clothes and jade food, can't bear it if she is herself, so she would rather take a risk and exchange for vitality.

She quietly turned around, and through the scattered window paper, she saw that Concubine Crane was standing on the mottled chair with her back to her, her head sticking into her sleeve. She hurriedly turned her head back as if nothing had happened, and moved into the distance.

The sound of "bang" was the sound of the chair falling to the ground, which was particularly harsh in the silent cold palace.

The person on the other side looked up at Xian Ge, and cracked his chapped mouth, baring his charred teeth at her.

Xian Ge couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly shifted his gaze.

Someone outside the door was peeking through the crack in the door. Seeing that Xian Ge was standing under the porch vividly, he retracted his head and left.

Xian Ge recognized that it was the guards who led the message for the queen and persuaded him to take care. It must be the queen who told him to take care of himself, otherwise if there is any movement in the cold palace, even if it is a bloody beating, it will be disdainful for these indifferent people.
