The next morning, Xiyun and I were still cleaning the hall. Xiang Han hurriedly barged in, "Do you know? Just now I went to Qifeng Palace with my mother to say hello to the queen mother, and got a message. ”

We all stopped what we were doing, and our eyes fell on Xiang Han's face, "What news?" ”

"The queen mother ordered Ming'er to execute the woman in the cold palace."

I was stunned for a moment, and then said urgently, "Which woman." ”

"I heard that it was the sister of General Chu back then, and for some reason she can still live in the cold palace all the time, wasn't General Chu a conspiracy back then?" Xiang Han pursed his lips and said.

It was as if his head had been hit hard, and his whole body instantly lost its strength, and there was a loud sound when the copper basin in his hand slipped to the ground, and he stood in the hall in a daze, but his mind was blank. Aunt...... He was executed by order of Empress Mu.

In the dead of night, the moonlight is colored, drifting in the wind.

Tossing and turning on the bed waited until Xiyun fell asleep, and then I tiptoed up and changed my clothes. Aunt Ming'er is about to be executed, and I must go to the cold palace to meet her no matter what.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and I wrap my hands around my shoulders to resist the invasion of cold air. The cold palace where my aunt lives is in the southernmost part of the palace, which is actually called Nagato Palace. I heard that many years ago, a favored concubine killed the prince of the former emperor, but the former emperor was too fond of her to execute her, so he imprisoned her in Nagato Palace until she died of old age. Since then, Nagato Palace has been specially used to grounding concubines who have been at fault or are no longer favored, and has become a real cold palace.

Luckily, Nagato Palace has been unattended for a long time, so I was able to enter without being blocked. The huge palace gate had long been dim and colorless, and from time to time there were a few strange crows from inside. Liuyun has never let me come here, just because he is afraid that others will see it and cause great danger to my life. Now, I can't sit idly by.

The scene in Nagato Palace is very similar to the General's Mansion today, and it is messy. It's hard to imagine how my aunt spent all these years of losing her loved ones here. Even if the emperor didn't execute his aunt for the crime of conspiracy for some reason, he at least believed that it was not a conspiracy.

Entering the main hall, a cold wind blew, I still shivered, the night blurred hall, although very simple, but neat and clean.

So as not to be discovered by others, I didn't hold the lamp all the way, and relied on my weak sight, and walked gently towards the center of the hall.

"Who are you?" A bleak sound filled the hall, and I turned abruptly, my breath heaving in fright.

A woman dressed in a simple blue color dress stood outside the door of the main hall, her black hair draped over her shoulders and gently floated with the breeze, and the night was too dark to see the appearance of her face. Is she my aunt Chu Wanhai!

Tears still slipped silently, "Auntie." I softly called out the two words that I hadn't called in years.

Obviously, I saw that she was stunned for a moment, and her lips trembled slightly, "You... You are ......"

I trotted forward and stopped in front of her, staring at her pale face with teary eyes, "It's me, I'm Zhen Luo!" Your niece Zhen Luo. ”

She trembled suddenly, especially her hands trembled even more, "Zhen Luo! No...... No...... Zhen Luo is already dead, you won't be Zhen Luo's, you won't ......"

"I'm Zhen Luo, I'm Zhen Luo. Auntie, take a good look, I'm Zhen Luo. I took her trembling hands and stared at her expectantly, she was still the same as I remembered, with picturesque eyebrows and dignified appearance. A pair of bright eyes, plain and elegant.

She suddenly pushed me away, screamed miserably, and then said with a slight cry: "You, don't try to lie to me." The people of the Chu family ...... early It's already dead. It's just me, it's just me, one person, one person......" She hid her face and wept, my heart hurt so much.

took off the jade pendant worn around her neck, walked up to her, spread her palm and placed the jade pendant on it, "Auntie, I'm not dead, Zhen Luo is not dead." ”

She glanced down at the jade pendant, the terrifying word "Chu" on it was extremely eye-catching, she raised her eyes sharply and stared at me, her eyes gradually flashed with hope, and her hands raised to caress my face, "This is the heirloom jade of the Chu family, the Chu family." You are really Zhen Luo, my brother's daughter Zhen Luo. ”

I bowed my head, tears poured down, and I lay in my aunt's arms, "I am, I am Zhen Luo." My aunt believed, I didn't die, I survived. ”

"Luo'er, my Luo'er......" my aunt hugged me tightly and called my name.

It turns out that being hugged by relatives like this is so warm.

I am not the only one in the Chu family, I survived.

But Auntie, Ming'er is about to be executed, how should Luo'er save you, how should she save you......
