"The queen has thrown herself into the lake......"

The palace lanterns emitted a dim yellow light, hanging on the verandah, and the wind blew, and the long red tassels fluttered.

A long row of palace maids walked through the lotus pond with ebony-colored lamp handles in their hands.

In the middle of summer, the pond is filled with fragrant lotus flowers.

A female corpse dressed in white slowly floated up from the bottom of the lotus pond.

The white bedding skirts are spread out layer upon layer, the delicate lotus flowers are full of vitality, and among the green lotus leaves, the gauze skirt flutters slightly with the water waves.

The female corpse's face was as white as snow jade, quietly revealing the water, cold, lifeless closed eyes, and the moonlight was rippling, falling on her delicate and beautiful facial features, like a jade carving under the moonlight.

The two little eunuchs rushed over from the other end of the lotus pond and cried loudly:

"The queen has thrown herself into the lake!"

The neatly arranged palace maids of the night watch, the formation was suddenly chaotic, everyone shouted in panic, and the news quickly spread, like a stone thrown into the calm lake, countless eunuchs and palace maids rushed in the direction of the lotus pond.

The sword on the guard with the sword, touching the jade pendant hanging from his waist, jingled as he ran.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Yin Ze is discussing with the ministers of the humerus, about the recent rumors among the people and the court, about the queen and the Shenwu general Tan Ji.

The palace maid and eunuch pounced in, holding the self-certificate written by the queen in her hand, kneeling on the ground and crying,

"Your Majesty, the queen mother proved her innocence by dying, the emperor, the mother threw herself into the lake...... Already...... Already ......"

Before the words were finished, the palace maid who came to report was already crying, and Yin Ze had already gotten up, wrapped in dark red dragon-patterned plain clothes, and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall like a whirlwind.

His face was pale, his fists were clenched, his lips were white, and before he walked out of the door, he stumbled under his feet, and the dragon pendant hanging from his waist fell on the high threshold, becoming two petals.

Yin Ze staggered a few steps and almost fell.

Why? Why did Jiaojiao throw herself into the lake?

He didn't intend to abolish her, he just scared her.

Because there are too many people in the world talking about this matter, and the concubine has been making trouble again and again recently, and there is indeed a tacit understanding between his queen and the Shenwu general.

Yin Ze was upset, so he reprimanded Sheng Jiaojiao and asked her to prove that she was just trying to clear the queen's stigma, and he didn't force her to die.

Beautiful!

Is it death, and she doesn't want to involve that man?

*

The loess is in the sky, a few acres of thin fields, and a civil engineering house with one entry.

There are two courtyards in front and back.

"Jiaojiao, I went with your grandmother to carry water, and you watered the vegetables in the field."

Before dawn, Sheng Jiaojiao's voice sounded outside the house, and there was no sound in Sheng Jiaojiao's room.

Auntie and Grandma didn't care, carrying clay pots on their backs and stepping on the starlight to go out.

After a long time, in the dark, Sheng Jiaojiao opened her eyes, like a person who had been drowning for a long time, suddenly dragged ashore, so she took a big breath of fresh air.

She was soaking wet.

Tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and his heart was a sour desolation.

It's been a few days since she was reborn, and every day she wakes up in nightmare after nightmare.

In every nightmare, it was she who became the queen of Daze in her last life, because she was framed for having an affair with another man, the emperor reprimanded her and asked her to prove her innocence.

She, she...... He asked her to prove that there was no ambiguity between her innocent and Tan Ji.

On the night of the emperor's departure, she was covered by someone and threw her into the lotus pond.

Sheng Jiaojiao grew up on the high slope of loess, where water resources are very precious, where can she swim? Immediately he struggled, pedaling on the rocks by the pool, trying to get ashore.

But the villain pressed her head and crushed her under the water.

It's horrible, that feeling of suffocation, it's horrible.

Even if she starts over for the rest of her life, when she thinks of the deep and cold lotus pond bottom, the feeling of suffocation lingers.

There was another voice outside the house, it was the man of the family who got up to carry the water.

Sheng Jiaojiao reluctantly got up, pale face, supported her weak body, changed into clean clothes, took out the night pot in the room, and poured it into the manure tank of the latrine, which was on the edge of the vegetable field.

Their family planted half an acre of vegetables in the backyard, because of the lack of water, every day the family eats and drinks the water that has been washed, and it will be used to water the ground.

But the green cabbage grew slowly, half-drooping with yellow leaves, and looked like it was about to die of thirst.

Putting down the night pot, Sheng Jiaojiao, who was heavy in her heart, frowned, standing on the edge of this half acre of land, the time was too long, so long that she forgot that before marrying Yin Ze, her family lived on the loess slope of Zhishou County.

Zhishou County, located in the north of Daze country, close to the subject country, the people are strong, but the loess is connected with the wind and sand, where the sand blows, there is no grass everywhere.

This is a place where water is very scarce, and the only water is bitter, turbid, and has an indescribable astringency.

The environment is becoming increasingly harsh.

Looking at the green and yellow half an acre of land in front of her, Sheng Jiaojiao rubbed her stomach and turned around, intending to water the ground with the water in the tank.

If you don't water these side dishes too much, you'll die of thirst in another day.

The water tank is in the kitchen in the backyard.

Each member of the Qi family has to carry a jar of water to the house every day, even the old lady is no exception.

Sheng Jiaojiao walked to the edge of the water tank, and looked at the moonlight, only half of the water in it was there, and the water at home was used for people to eat.

If she used the water in the tank to water the ground, the water would not be enough for people to eat, and although the grandmother would not beat and scold her, she would have to walk several miles with the clay pot on her back to refill the water in the tank.

In her previous life, Sheng Jiaojiao didn't understand this, her family let her, she used whatever water she wanted to water the ground, and others worked hard, and they wouldn't say it in front of her.

They did their best to treat her like a jewel, and they were some good family members.

But such a group of family members, because the future Daze Emperor Yin Ze, ended up being slaughtered in the entire loess village, which made Sheng Jiaojiao can't help but think of it, and her heart hurts.

For a while, there seemed to be a cry in her ears again, the sound of a sword cutting through the flesh, A-Niang hugged her, dodged in the light of the knife, and A-Grandma rushed up and hugged the body of a black-clothed killer.

The old lady was usually a domineering person, and at that time, with blood in her mouth, she let the sword cut her back, and she shouted loudly.

"Let's go, Jiaojiao'er, let's go, don't worry about grandma."

"Grandma!!"

Sheng Jiaojiao cried, and was pushed into the room by Ah Niang, the knife flashed, and Ah Niang was cut to the ground, one knife, two knives, and another knife......

Don't, don't, don't!

Sheng Jiaojiao by the water tank held back her tears, endured the heart-rending pain, turned around, picked up the clay pottery restaurant she had placed on the side of the water tank, and prepared to fetch water.

Now that she has been reborn, in this life, she must not let these family members because Yin Ze was slaughtered.
