Chapter 33: The Secret of the Deep Palace
"Sui Ju...... Mountain...... Siwang ...... Resistance, wind ...... The clouds are ...... Evening. Deep Creek Cross...... Ancient trees, empty rocks...... Ghost ......"
The intermittent singing kept coming, and the noisy Gu Nuan slept a little restless, and finally opened his eyes, only to see the round moon hanging in the sky, and the rustling of the wind kept coming.
She almost forgot that she was still in the cold palace.
moved, Gu Nuan found that he had a piece of clothing on his body, looking at this color, it was Xiao Jingling's.
"Sunset...... Mountain ...... Secluded, windy...... Hope...... Feather...... ......"
The intermittent singing continued to come, Gu Nuan carefully lifted the clothes on his body and stood up, who was singing for most of the night?
Just about to put it on Xiao Jingling, I saw his eyes open, and Gu Nuan's hand paused in mid-air.
"How?"
Looking at her clothes, Xiao Jingling's face was a little dark.
"Uh...... I heard singing, and I was a little curious, and I wanted to go over and see, you go to sleep first. ”
As soon as he put on his clothes, he was about to leave, but he didn't expect his hand to be grabbed first.
"Together."
only heard the sound of a thin voice, and Xiao Jingling also stood up.
"Let's go."
The hand that was holding her obviously didn't intend to let go, Gu Nuan's mouth pouted, and he could only let him pull it.
To be honest, she was still a little scared in her heart, if Xiao Jingling accompanied her, it would naturally be the best.
The singing gradually approached, and Gu Nuan couldn't help but shrink back.
Under the bright moonlight, Gu Nuan clearly saw a palace maid with a leaning body, walking slowly along the palace wall, one hand crossing, and singing slowly in her mouth.
"...... this?"
The palace maid obviously saw them too, and there was no light in her cloudy eyes, as if her soul had been lost a long time ago.
"Hahaha-"
Suddenly, the old palace maid stopped singing and laughed a little maniacally, the sharp laughter was like the neighing of a crow before it died, and Gu Nuan's heart was furious when she heard it.
Xiao Jingling held her hand tightly, signaling her not to be afraid.
"Are you also poor people who are being locked up here?"
The old palace maid looked at them with some pity, and didn't care whether the two of them paid attention to her or not, and said to herself.
"I am Concubine Chen's personal maidservant, my name is Lan'er......"
Concubine Chen!
Xiao Jingling's heart tightened, and her body trembled.
"Back then, the mother was favored for a while, I don't know how many concubines she envied, countless eyes stared at her, they hated, jealous, but they had no choice, don't you say it's ridiculous?"
"The emperor's eyes always fell on her, as if no one else could enter his eyes anymore......"
"Look, what did I bring you?"
"Bunny Lantern!"
The young girl cheered with joy, and regardless of whether she wore shoes or not, she was about to run out to show off, but she was stopped and picked up at the door.
"Concubine Ai's health is not good, don't freeze."
The girl looked at him with disgust, but didn't say anything, looked at the rabbit lamp in her arms, and became more and more happy, at that time, the palace was full of joy every day.
Sensing that something was wrong with the person next to him, Gu Nuan realized that the concubine Chen in the mouth of this old palace maid might be Xiao Jingling's mother.
Although she felt distressed in her heart, Gu Nuan had no choice but to listen to the palace maid continue.
"However, the good times don't last long, and it is said that things must be reversed, but at that time, Niangniang was simply like a blank sheet of paper, and she didn't understand anything, so she was already in the cold palace, and she was targeted everywhere ......"
"Lan'er, the emperor today, has he ever ...... Ahem...... Ahem......"
Concubine Chen leaned weakly against the tower, her face was as thin as skin and bones, her eyes were already big, so she looked bigger and looked a little innocent.
Looking at Concubine Chen's current appearance, how dare Lan'er say that the emperor accepted a new concubine a few days ago, and sang songs every day.
"The emperor is ruthless! The emperor is ruthless! ”
The old palace maid seemed to have collapsed and knelt on the ground, tears falling from her eyes.
"Niangniang died unjustly, I was locked up in this palace for decades, they all said I was crazy, but only if I was crazy, I could survive......"
Die unjustly!
Sure enough, there was something strange about this matter.
Gu Nuan's mouth moved, and he saw that Xiao Jingling's face was pale, there was no blood, and the blue tendons on her forehead appeared, obviously her heart was not calm.
It's obviously uncomfortable to learn the story of his mother's unjust death from other people.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Green Yi and the little attendant running over, still with a slight breath, obviously disturbed by the movement here.
The old palace maid's hair was messy, her pale hair covered her eyes, the skin on her hands was loose, her head was on her hands, and her mouth was babbling.
Suddenly, I saw her kneel down suddenly, her eyes were hazy with tears, her hands were propped on the ground, her whole body was curled up, and she kowtowed vigorously.
Gradually, her forehead cracked the skin, and the blood slowly flowed down her head, dripping on the ground, and she didn't seem to feel the pain, and she didn't mean to stop at all.
"Mama, stop."
Gu Nuan's eyes were sharp, he reached out and grabbed the old palace maid's clothes, and stopped.
When Xiao Jingyi heard this, he also hurriedly stepped forward and supported her.
The old palace maid's eyes were confused, as if she had fallen into a nightmare, she had a lot of strength, she broke free from the shackles of the two, Gu Nuan's center of gravity was unstable, and her body fell backwards.
The pain in the impression did not hit, but fell into a warm embrace, Gu Nuan slowly raised his head, and saw Xiao Jingyi half-lying on the ground, holding her with one hand.
"Master, the slave maid's wish has been fulfilled, so I'm here to accompany you."
The old palace maid ran forward a few steps, fell to the ground violently, got up despite the pain, and bowed to the southwest corner, muttering words in her mouth, as if there was a person standing in front of her.
Looking at the empty place, Gu Nuan got up and said with some confusion: "It was fine just now, look at this symptom, isn't it really crazy?" ”
Xiao Jingyi half-propped up her body and said slowly: "She has been in this cold palace for half a year, just to keep a secret, even if she is not crazy, I am afraid that she will have lost interest in life a long time ago." ”
Alas!
Gu Nuan sighed, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.
"Your Highness, she ran away."
Gu Nuan was shocked, and looked again, where was there still a figure?
Mama is now looking like this, I am afraid that she has the idea of suicide, and said a little anxiously: "Go and find it!" ”
"Don't panic, the county lord and I will go to find it."
Green Yi glanced at Gu Nuan, nodded and kept up with the waiter's pace.
Gu Nuan stood up and tore off the weeds on his body.
"We'll go too."
There was no answer behind him, and Gu Nuan hurriedly turned around.
I saw Xiao Jingyi fall to the ground, and under the moonlight, his face was extremely pale.
"Xiao Jingyi!"
Gu Nuan exclaimed, squatted down, tried to help him up, and after a long time, he didn't move at all, and he stumbled.
